68、nd did it quickly enough to make training robots for real-world work a more workable enterprise. The findings are newly published in a paper called, Good Robot!Unlike humans and animals that are born with highly intuitive (有直觉力的) brains, robots are blank slates (写字板) and must learn everything from s
69、cratch. But true learning is often accomplished by trial and error, and roboticists are still figuring out how robots can learn efficiently from their mistakes.With an effort the team accomplished that by designing a reward system that works for a robot in the way treats work for a dog. Where a dog
70、might get a cookie for a job well done, the robot got an incentive too.Andrew Hundt, lead author of the study, recalled how he once taught his puppy named Leah the command “Leave it, so she could ignore squirrels on walks. He used two types of treats, ordinary trainer treats and something even bette
71、r, like cheese. When Leah was excited and sniffing around the treats, she got nothing. But when she calmed down and looked away, she got the good stuff. Thats when I gave her the cheese and said, Leave it! Good Leah! He later decided to try that method on robots.Similarly, to stack (码放整齐) blocks, Sp
72、ot, the robot, needed to learn how to focus on constructive actions. As the robot explored the blocks, it quickly learned that correct behaviors for stacking earned high points, but incorrect ones earned nothing. Reach out but dont grasp a block? No points. Knock over a stack? Definitely no points.
73、Spot earned the most by placing the last block on top of a four-block stack.“The robot wants the higher score, Hundt said. It quickly learns the right behavior to get the best reward. In fact, it used to take a month of practice for the robot to achieve 100% accuracy. We were able to do it in two da
74、ys.”46. What did the team want to achieve by creating the new approach?A. To figure out robots way of learning.B. To develop a robot able to learn by itself.C. To help improve robots learning efficiency.D. To reduce the error rate of robots performing tasks.47. Which of the following can replace the
75、 underlined part in Paragraph 3?A. Raised an interest.B. Won an award.C. Experienced some mistakes.D. Had a special talent.48. Why docs the author talk about Andrew Hundts training his dog?A. To show dogs are actually very clever,B. To help us better understand their findings.C. To explain how he go
76、t inspiration for the study.D. To make the text more attractive to animal lovers.49 What does the last but one paragraph mainly tell us?A. The significance of having robots work with blocks.B. The superiority of Spot as a newly developed robot.C. The possibility of a robots earning high points.D The
77、 process of training Spot to stack blocks.50. How did Hundt probably feel about their findings?A. Satisfied.B. Confused.C. Unsurprised.D. Disappointed.【答案】46. C 47. B 48. C 49. C 50. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Andrew Hundt带领团队，用训练狗的方法去训练机器人，大幅提高了机器人有效学习的能力。【46题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句话“But true learning is
78、 often accomplished by trial and error, and roboticists are still figuring out how robots can learn efficiently from their mistakes. (但真正的学习往往是通过试错来完成的，机器人专家仍在研究机器人如何能从错误中有效地学习)”可知，这个团队想通过创新方式来提高机器人有效学习的能力。故选C项。【47题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“Where a dog might get a cookie for a job well done(狗可能会因为完成工作而得到一块曲奇
79、饼干)”可知，曲奇饼干是对于狗完成工作的奖励；结合划线后的too可推断，此处表达的是机器人和狗一样获得了奖励，所以got an incentive是“获得奖励”的意思。故选B项。【48题详解】推理判断题。根据原文第四段的最后一句话“He later decided to try that method on robots. (后来，他决定在机器人上尝试这种方法)”可知，Andrew Hundt训练狗的方法被他尝试用于训练机器人。由此可知，作者谈及Andrew Hundt对狗的训练是为了说明他是如何获得研究的灵感的。故选C项。【49题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The robot wants
80、 the higher score, Hundt said. It quickly learns the right behavior to get the best reward. In fact, it used to take a month of practice for the robot to achieve 100% accuracy. We were able to do it in two days. (“机器人想要更高的分数，”Hundt说。“它很快学会正确的行为以获得最好的奖励。事实上，过去需要一个月的练习才能让机器人达到100%的准确率。我们能在两天内完成。”)”可知，
81、本段主要说明的是机器人的准确率可以在短时间内达到一个很高的水平，获得很高的分数，所以C选项“机器人获得高分的可能性”概括了本段的内容。故选C项。【50题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“n fact, it used to take a month of practice for the robot to achieve 100% accuracy. We were able to do it in two days. (事实上，过去需要一个月的练习才能让机器人达到100%的准确率。我们能在两天内完成)”可知，在他们的努力下，对机器人的训练效率大幅提高。由此可知，Hundt对于自己的研究发现是满

108、且对自己没有信心，加之朋友提醒她说名人都很难沟通，使得作者更加焦虑。但事实是作者很成功地采访了这位艺术家并且出了书。作者通过亲身经历告诉我们，要相信自己，不要害怕面对不确定性。【56题详解】考查细节理解。根据第一段“At that point in my career, although I had written many magazine articles, I had just a few small books to my name childrens comic books, mostly.（在我的职业生涯中，虽然我写过很多杂志文章，但我只有几本小书大部分是儿童漫画书。）”可知，作者
109、只有几本小书，写作成就不大，所以当编辑给她这份写作任务时，作者感到惊讶。故答案为Becausethe author had just a few small books.【57题详解】考查细节理解。根据第二段“I told my friend about the task. And she warned me, “Just understand that celebrities will often not treat others well.（我把这个任务告诉了我的朋友。她警告我说：“要知道，名人往往不会善待他人。）”可知，作者的朋友提醒作者，名人往往不会善待他人。故答案为Celebriti
110、es will often not treat others well.【58题详解】考查词句猜测。根据划线句“However, these feelings melted into thin air within minutes after meeting her. My friend was wrong; this artist was an absolute sweetheart, who was humble, down-to-earth, funny and caring.（然而，见到她几分钟后， these feelings melted into thin air。我的朋友错了；
111、这位艺术家是一个绝对的甜心，她谦虚，朴实，有趣又贴心。）”可知，这位艺术家的形象和作者所担忧的艺术家不友好的形象完全不同，因此作者的不安和担忧都消失了。划线句“these feelings melted into thin air”的意思为“这些感觉都消失了”。故答案为These feelings disappeared.【59题详解】考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“When I finished the book, the artists husband called to tell me how well I had captured her, and that he felt very e
112、motional and proud after reading the book. Hearing it, I was very glad.（当我完成了这本书，艺术家的丈夫打电话告诉我，我多么好地捕获到了她的信息，他读了这本书后感到非常激动和自豪。听了这话，我很高兴。）”可知，艺术家的丈夫对作者所写书的反馈让作者感到高兴。故答案为The response from the artists husband.60题详解】考查观点态度和思维拓展。根据最后一段“Since that time, Ive found I need to believe in myself and neednt be afraid of any uncertainty. Otherwise, I may miss a good opportunity in life.（从那时起，我发现我需要相信自己，不必害怕任何不确定性。否则，我可能会错过人生中的好机会。）”可知，作者从这件事中感悟到的是要相信自己，不要害怕不确定性，否则就会错过人生中的好机会。所以我们可以从作者得到的感悟去借鉴一些经验。故参考答案为We need to believe in ourselves and neednt be afraid of any uncertainty.
