【題目】Driving could soon be a far more pleasant experience thanks to a personal in-car robot being developed by researchers. The robot, which is called “Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)” will be able to tell you the best route home based on traffic reports, remind you to pick up petrol and suggest places you may like to visit. The robot, which sits on the dashboard, is being developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in collaboration with Volkswagen.

AIDA communicates with the driver through an expressive robot screen and will even appear sympathetic if you're having a bad day. Cynthia Breazeal, director of MIT’s Personal Robots Group, said: “We are developing AIDA to read the driver’s mood from facial expression and other cues and respond in a proper way.”

AIDA works by analyzing the driver’s mobility patterns, keeping track of common routes and destinations. The creators say the robot should be able to work out home and work locations within a week of driving. Soon afterwards, the system will direct the driver to their preferred supermarket, suggesting a route that avoids traffic-clogged roads. AIDA might recommend a petrol stop en route if the fuel tank is nearly empty. The robot will also incorporate real-time information about traffic jams, the weather report, commercial activity, tourist attractions, and residential areas.

“In developing AIDA we asked ourselves how we could design a system that would offer the same kind of guidance as an informed and friendly companion.”

“AIDA can also give you feedback on your driving, helping you achieve more energy efficiency and safer behavior,” Assaf Biderman from SENSEable City Lab added.

【1】What is AIDA in this passage?

A. A personal driver.

B. A traffic controller.

C. A traffic indicator.

D. A smart car robot.

【2】What’s the most impressive about AIDA according to the passage?

A. It can stay away from traffic jams.

B. It can replace the driver to drive the car.

C. It can interact with the driver.

D. It can help the driver find the way.

【3】From the last paragraph we can know that .

A. it’s possible to drive a car without any petrol

B. AIDA can help us to become better drivers

C. people can save a lot of energy by driving a car

D. It can help the driver find the way

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. An Intelligent Device for Drivers

B. A New Model of Volkswagen

C. The Cooperation of Two Car Makers

D. Traffic Management in Big Cities

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇科技類說明文。介紹了一種放置在汽車內(nèi)的機(jī)器AIDA，文章詳細(xì)講述它的用處。設(shè)計(jì)者的目的是把AIDA設(shè)計(jì)成為一個(gè)消息靈通的司機(jī)的友好同伴。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“The robot,which is called "Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)" will be able to tell you the best route home based on traffic reports,remind you to pick up petrol and suggest places you may like to visit.”可知，AIDA是一個(gè)智能汽車機(jī)器人。故選D項(xiàng)正確。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“AIDA communicates with the driver through an expressive robot screen and will even appear sympathetic if you're having a bad day.”可知，AIDA可以通過機(jī)器人屏幕與司機(jī)交流，甚至可以表達(dá)同情，這些是AIDA給人印象最深刻的。故選C項(xiàng)正確。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段提到的“AIDA can also give you response on your driving,helping you drive more efficiently and ensure safer driving behavior”可知，AIDA可以對(duì)開車做出反應(yīng)，有助于開車更有效更安全，幫助人們成為更好的司機(jī)。故選B項(xiàng)正確。

【4】標(biāo)題判斷題�？v觀全文可知，文章主要講述了一種新型機(jī)器人AIDA，這種智能機(jī)器人可以放置在汽車內(nèi)，幫助司機(jī)更有效更安全的開車。因此推斷A項(xiàng)“司機(jī)用的一種智能設(shè)備”為最佳標(biāo)題。故選A項(xiàng)正確。

【題目】短文改錯(cuò)。

My soccer coach retired in last week. I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party. My mum makes the better biscuits in the world, so I decide to ask her for help. Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most of the baking myself. I thought the biscuits were really well. My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.

At a party, my coach, with a biscuit in his mouth, asked surprisingly who made them and joked, “I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”

My favorite picture at the party is of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!
