一、阅读理解

A

A computer program has been used to predict how people are feeling when they type.

In a study participants were asked to type a particular phrase and the program then estimated if they were happy, sad and so on. Surprisingly it was correct 70 percent of the time, and the findings could lead to smarter artificial intelligence in the future.

The study published in the journal Behavior and Information Technology was carried out by researchers in a university in Bangladesh, reports Live Science.

In the research 25 people ranging from 15 to 40 years old were asked to retype two paragraphs from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Carroll. They also had to enter their emotional states every 30 minutes while doing their regular activities on the computer. This allowed the program an opportunity to understand how their emotions changed their typing style.

Moods tested were joy, fear, anger, sadness, hate and shame. The result was that the program could identify (识别) a person’s mood correctly 70 percent of the time. It was most successful in identifying joyfulness with an 87 percent success ratio, while sadness was the least successful at 60 percent. The researchers found that the participants were less likely to input data when they were in a bad mood, which may explain the inexactness of the second result.

However, the findings could have great importance to artificial intelligence, and it may allow computers to get along with us in a friendlier manner. “If we could build any system that is intelligent enough to communicate with humans—that is, it can identify users’ emotions and change its behavior accordingly—then using machines could be more effective and friendly.” the researchers wrote.

1. What’s the importance of the research result?

A. It helps people develop smarter machines.

B. It helps people speed up their typing speed.

C. It will inspire similar studies on people’s mood.

D. It clearly explains the relationship between moods and typing.

2. Who conducted the study?

A. Lewis Carroll.

B. Researchers in a university in Bangladesh.

C. Live Science.

D. Behavior and Information Technology.

3. What were participants asked to do during the research?

A. Input words and emotional states.

B. Change their typing styles.

C. Change their feelings frequently.

D. Show their natural feelings.

4. Why is the result about sadness not so correct?

A. Because people usually hide their unhappy feelings.

B. Because the program cannot recognize sadness clearly.

C. Because the program cannot calculate the data correctly.

D. Because it’s more difficult to collect data when people are sad.

Losing a parent is one of the most painful parts of life. No matter how old we are when they leave us, it can be a painful experience. Our memories are all that is left of them and happy reminders of their love turn into our most valuable treasures.

That’s how Mara Soriano feels about a very special teddy she lost in her recent move to a new apartment.

The toy bear didn’t cost a lot, but it contained a recording of her late mother’s voice telling her that she loved her and was proud of her. The bear, called “Mama Bear”, was in a backpack that contained electronics like an iPad and a Nintendo Switch. When the bag was missing last week during the move, the 28-year-old was heartbroken—not for the electronics, but for “Mama Bear”.

So she posted online the lost item and the story behind it. Luckily, Mara’s search soon became a hit. Meanwhile, Mara was out searching. She put up posters, dug through dustbins, and communicated with others online, following up any lead she could find.

Actor Ryan Reynolds posted an appeal for its safe return. “I think we all need this bear to come home.” he wrote. Along with the message, he also set a price of $5,000 for the return.

Then on Tuesday night, Mara’s special bear came home. It’s a bit of a modern-day wonder that would never have happened without social media. Mara said she got an email from someone who told her they had the bear.

Mara is getting married next summer and the bear is going to have a special seat at the ceremony—the one her mother would sit in. For now, she’s keeping “Mama Bear” close and sending thanks to those who helped with the happy reunion.

5. Why did Mara spare no effort to recover her Mama Bear?

A. It contained expensive electronics.

B. It recorded her wedding memories.

C. It was a present for her 28th birthday.

D. It had happy reminders of her mom’s love.

6. What did Ryan Reynolds do to help Mara?

A. He put up posters across the city.

B. He sent a message to comfort Mara.

C. He bought an alternative bear for Mara.

D. He offered a reward for the return of the bear.

7. Who will the special seat at the wedding ceremony be intended for?

A. The bridegroom. B. The toy bear.

C. A famous actor. D. An honored guest.

8. Where was Mama Bear when it was lost?

A. In a backpack.

B. In the old apartment.

C. In a dustbin.

D. In an electronics store.

二、七选五

One of my earliest memories was watching my mum talking on our old phone. I was fascinated that she could talk to someone who wasn’t actually in the room with her. 　1　 I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn’t see. 

　2　 Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. Then came computers and smart phones. These days I can send an email around the world in a second. My daughter’s smart phone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as “the cloud”, where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before. 

　3　 Few take time to talk face to face.Instead of looking into eyes of our beloved ones, we stare at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generation is also the loneliest. 

Don’t let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make the time to meet and to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on. 　4　 

Remember that we are here to love each other, help each other and make this world a better place. 　5　 But when it can’t, turn it off. 

A. That was a long time ago.

B. Connect offline as well as online.

C. We should communicate with each other with phones off.

D. Smart phones have both advantages and disadvantages.

E. When your technology can help to do these things, then use it.

F. However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with each other nowadays.

G. When she left the room, I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a while.

三、完形填空

Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than 10 minutes before eating? How about those who beautify their selfie (自拍照片) so much that they can’t be 　1　? There must be one or more who 　2　 in your social media. No matter what they choose to share, they share the best but the most unreal. 

Take my friend Chen. Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a 　3　 until all the dishes we 　4　 were on the table. Then, she would spend five minutes in setting the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact 　5　 order. Then the most important part:taking pictures. After that, she would choose one of the 　6　 and click in the filter (滤镜) app. The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no 　7　 to really enjoy it—it all went cold. Actually Chen’s real life is much less elegant. For example,she hates to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for 　8　. 

Many people care too much about others’ opinions and try too hard to 　9　 others. They find it hard to be 　10　 and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their real life on social media. What they are trying to prove is 　11　 what they lack in reality. But this will not bring any change to reality, as they still 　12　 the same old pattern of life. 

If they really want an elegant life, they should put more 　13　 into achieving it. Being more confident, 　14　 themselves and trying their best to be better is much more meaningful than 　15　 their life on social media.
