Japanese automaker Toyota has announced plans to create a model \"city of the future\" to test and develop new

technologies. The project will involve \"building a complete city from the ground up\" at the foot of Japan\'s Mount Fuji.

Toyota calls the project \"Woven City.\" It is meant to be a model for creating \"smart cities\" around the world. A smart

city is an area developed with high-speed internet connectivity to link major information and communication systems.

These systems powered by data and sensors can improve living conditions relating to things like energy, transportation and

health.

Smart cities can be designed to greatly cut human-caused pollution, reduce traffic problems and create new uses for

internet technology to affect everyday life. The Woven City will aim to be a \"living laboratory\" for technologies including

self-driving systems, robotics, smart homes and artificial intelligence.

The city will be built on land where an automobile factory currently operates. The factory is set to close by the end of

2020. The city will cover about 70 hectares of land and is designed to hold around 2,000 people. Residents could include

Toyota employees and visiting researchers. The city will have its own police officers, fire and emergency services and

schools. The city\'s main electrical power will come from hydrogen fuel technology. The city is planned to be fully

sustainable, with buildings made mostly of wood. Buildings will be made with solar equipment to produce additional

electricity.

City planners will divide the streets for different purposes. One part will be used for faster vehicle traffic. Another will

be designed for people riding bicycles. A third part will be for walking. Homes will be built with the latest human support

technologies. This includes robots to assist with daily living. Homes will also be equipped with sensors and systems

designed to observe and improve peoples\' physical and mental health.

②Facial Identity

“Mirror mirror on the wall，who\'s the fairest of them all？\"An old tale tells a seemingly unbelievable story of a magic

mirror，but now the magic is no longer unachievable.

In August 2018，news went viral（广为传播的）that the police had caught criminal suspects who attended Chinese singer

Jacky Cheungs concerts. How did the police pick out the suspects among thousands of screaming fans？The helping hand

is AI facial recognition technology. The low-key yet powerful tool is no longer far-fetched，but entering the world of

China\'s top investors and companies.

Facial recognition is a technology able to identify a person from a digital image or a frame from a video source. Tang

Wenbin，CTO of Face++，an AI computer vision technology company in China，vividly explained the workflow. According

to him，facial recognition is the identification of our appearance，including knowing the sex，age and identity of a person.

You may think it is like a brain or a neural network. You use data to train it，and then，it learns the pattern.

Facial recognition technology has been traditionally allied with the security work but today there is active expansion into

other industries including mobile phones，marketing and finance.

Chinese start-ups have seen the potential of AI facial recognition for simplifying and speeding up tasks in multiple industries.

And the market is now crowded and competitive.

China is starting the AI revolution and has made breakthroughs in facial recognition. “If applying Al to different industries

is a marathon，the companies there probably have just got off the blocks.\" said Tian Feng，director of Alibaba Cloud

Research Center. He also thinks that in the future，everybody will be able to use AI as it will soon become a basic tool for

work and life.

When visitors to the Palace Museum feel a need to sit down for a cup of tea or find a bathroom without a long line，they

soon will be able to turn to their smart phones for the information they need.

This modern-day solution comes thanks to an agreement signed on Friday by the museum and Huawei Co.，the

telecommunication giant，to build a \"smart network\" using 5G technology. Under the agreement，5G Wi-Fi signals will

cover the Palace Museum，China\'s royal palace from 1420 to 1911，and the branch museum of the institution under

construction in northwestern Beijing.

“It\'s essential to always stay close to the latest technology to better serve the public，” said Shan Jixiang，former director

of the Palace Museum. Shan said there is still much room for improvement in the handling of a huge number of cultural

relics（文物），such as when the priceless painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival is exhibited again in the

future. When it was last exhibited in 2015，visitors stood in long lines until 3 am to get a glimpse. The museum ended up

preparing instant noodles to serve the hungry visitors. “I don\'t want that scenario to reoccur，\"Shan said. “Our operation

can be done in a more scientific way.”

The new system will also make use of the closed-circuit television cameras that are set up all over the Palace Museum to

safeguard the museum\'s precious relics. More than 1.86 millions of them are housed at the museum, which recorded nearly

20 million visits from the public last year, topping all museums worldwide. \"How can we make sure no single visitor who

might have evil ideas threatens these treasures?\" Shan said. \"After adopting the internet of things, we can instantly detect

any motion involving the artifacts to prevent such threats.\"

The 5G network also will be used to improve remote consultation through webcams, which will facilitate conversations

with overseas scholars to jointly find the best answers for restoration and preservation issues.

28. What do we know about the Palace Museum?

A. Its visitors won\'t have to queue up for the bathroom.

B. It has served as China\'s royal palace for over 500 years.

C. It will cooperate with Huawei to promote its management.

D. It will set up advanced television cameras for the purpose of safety.

29. What does the underlined word \"scenario\" in Paragraph 3 mean?

Every day is Earth Day-probably you\'ve heard it before. Nearly all Americans have access to a plastic recycling program.

You may be surprised to learn how many types of plastic packaging can be recycled into new，useful products！

Ford Motor Company has been helping to promote the use of environmentally-friendly auto parts-and one way they\'re

doing that is by using recycled plastic bottles for underbody shields（底盘保护罩）and other auto parts on cars.

“The underbody shield is a large part，and for a part that big，if we use solid plastic，it would likely weigh three times as

much，\"said Thomas Sweder，a design engineer of Ford Motor Company. “We look for the most durable and highest

performing materials to work with make our parts, and in this case, we are also creating many environmental benefits.\"

In the past decade, the global use of plastics in vehicle parts has grown quickly. Ford alone uses about 1.2 billion recycled

plastic bottles per year, about 250 bottles per vehicle on average.

When plastic bottles are thrown into a recycling bin, they are collected with thousands of others and cut into small pieces.

These pieces are typically sold to suppliers who turn them into fibers, by melting and pressing them. Then they are mixed

together with other various types of fiber in a process and used to make a sheet of material which is formed into the auto

parts.

Due to its light weight, recycled plastic is ideal for the manufacturing of underbody shields. These shields reportedly also

help create a significantly quieter environment on the new 2020 Ford Escape.

This is not the only way that Ford has been committed to environmental protection; the automotive company recently

partnered with McDonald\'s coffee suppliers to recycle all of their coffee roasting biowaste into headlights.

\"Ford is among the leaders when it comes to using recycled materials such as this,\" Sweder said. “This material meets all

of our requirements for durability and performance.”

32. Why does Ford choose recycled plastic as environmentally-friendly materials?

A. Because it’s new and useful. B. Because it’s cheap and easy to get.

C. Because it’s durable and light. D. Because it’s portable and well-performed.

33. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

A. The global use of plastics.

B. The mixing process of fibers.

C. The advantages of plastic bottles.

D. The formation of the new auto material.

34. What does the underlined word \"This\" in Pararaph 7 refer to?

A. Recycling coffee roasting biowaste. B. Improving vehicle parts.

C. Recycling plastic bottles into auto parts. D. Creating a quieter environment.

35. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Every Day is Earth Day.

B. Ford Takes the Lead in Plastic Recycling.

C. Ecological Auto Underbody Shields.

D.A Pioneer in Promoting Environmental Protection.

Robots have certain advantages compared to humans: They are efficient，tireless，can be repaired when damaged and they

never get sick. This last trait has made them the star during our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. While hundreds of

thousands of medical workers have fallen ill dealing with this highly infectious virus and a lot more are forced to stay at

home for fear of getting the disease，this isn\'t a problem for robots.

This is why the COVID-19 outbreak is seen as the \"tipping point\"--noted The Independent Science reporter Anthony

Cuthbertson-for robots to start to replace humans in certain jobs.

In areas like hospitals and healthcare facilities，robots are used to perform high-risk tasks. In China，for example，a hotel

in Hangzhou employed a robot named \"Little Peanut\" to deliver food to people under quarantine（隔离期）. In Spain，robots are about to be used to test people for the coronavirus. Ultraviolet-light-disinfection（紫外线消毒）robots are also

being widely used to clean hospital corridors and wards.

\"Hospitals around the world are waking up to autonomous disinfection，\"Per Jul Nielsen，CEO of Denmark\'s UVD Robots，a leading company manufacturing disinfection robots，told Forbes. “We can\'t build these robots fast enough.”

In non-medical companies，robots are also replacing human employees since they don\'t have the problem of social

distancing and will never take sick leave. Walmart and Amazon，for example，where robots are already used in sorting，packing and shipping，are planning to increase the number of robots in their facilities. Fast-food chains like McDonald\'s

are not only delivering food with robots in some areas，but also looking to use them as cooks and servers.

According to futurist Martin Ford，using more robots than human employees can prove to be rewarding for companies-even when the pandemic is over, \"People will prefer to go to a place that has fewer workers and more machines because

they feel they can lower overall risk,\" Ford told the BBC.

But this sudden surge（激增）in robot demand doesn\'t mean that they triumph over humans in every aspect. According to

Bill Smart，a roboticist at Oregon State University，the human contact between doctors and patients is still important.

Doctors comfort the patients and guide them through hard decisions while robots are only doing routine tasks，like cleaning

and giving tests，just to free up doctors and nurses. It might be true that robots have certain advantages over humans，but

they are still secondary to human interaction.

is the text mainly about?

advantages of robots compared to humans. ent views toward applying robots to fight COVID-19.

the COVID-19 outbreak has fueled robot demand. important role humans play in certain areas.

has made robots desirable during the pandemic according to the text?

does Martin Ford think of the application of robots?

benefits are appealing and lasting. es are less disturbing than humans.

poses a threat to human employment. are some risks with the use of robots.

can be concluded from the last two paragraphs?

demand for robots is too great to meet. interaction is essential in some areas.

s can make more accurate judgments than robots. need updating to improve contact with humans.

Chinese companies have begun competing with Western companies in the cloud computing and data storage market. The

\"cloud war\" is taking place as the dispute between the United States and China about data hacking and computer network

security grows stronger. Chinese companies such as Alibaba，Baidu and Huawei are expanding within their country and

gaining customers in other countries. They are creating data centers in multiple countries and trying to sell data management

services throughout the world.

The increasing competition in cloud computing and storage worries some experts. They are concerned about the security

of information. After all，companies often use the cloud to store important，confidential（秘密的）information and to

operate such activities as data-driven machinery，telecommunications，banking and transport systems-including plans for

driverless vehicles.

Lee Branstetter is an associate professor of economics at the Heinz School of Policy and Management of the Carnegie

Mellon University. He told VOA many multi-national companies “have serious concerns about the protection of their

intellectual property（知识产权）in China.” Branstetter said some of these large companies already believe they have lost

valuable information.

Sheila Jasanoff is the director of the program on science，technology and society at Harvard\'s Kennedy School. She called

the cloud computing industry \"unruly.\" In other words, the industry is not strictly governed.

\"People(in the business) are making rules as they go along赞同实践 or taking advantage of the lack of rules,\" Jasanoff

said. She said cloud computing companies are not clear about what security measures they are promising customers. She

is worried that a major accident may happen before governments realize the need for stronger rules in the cloud computing

industry. She believes there should be internationally-accepted rules on data security. But she does not believe an

international agreement will be reached anytime soon.

28. What\'s the purpose of Chinese companies\' creating data centers?

A. To sell data management services.

B. To compete against western companies.

C. To attack networks of the United States.

D. To show the development of science and technology.

29. As for cloud computing and storage, what do some experts mainly worry about?

A. Convenience. B. Security.

C. Efficiency. D. Speed.

30. What\'s the probable meaning of the underlined word \"unruly\" in Paragraph 4?

A. Obviously clear. B. Extremely unpleasant.

C. Usual and normal. D. Difficult to control.

31. What does Jasanoff suggest on cloud computing industry?

A. Internationally-accepted rules should be made.

B. Valuable information shouldn\'t be stored in data centers.

C. Cloud computing companies should follow the service promise.

D. Western companies strengthen intellectual property protection.

⑦2019·C

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric（生物测量）technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.

Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device that gets around this problem: a smart

keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence（节奏）with which one types and the pressure fingers apply

to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the

time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities,

and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to — regardless of whether someone

gets the password right.

It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and

everybody types differently.

In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word ＂touch＂four times using the

smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed,

with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is

mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.

1. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?

A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing

C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.

2. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?

A. Computers are much easier to operate.

B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.

C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.

D. Data security measures are guaranteed.

3. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?

A. It’ll be environment-friendly. ’ll reach consumers soon.

C. It’ll be made of plastics. D. It’ll help speed up typing.

4. Where is this text most likely from?

A. A diary. B. A guidebook

C. A novel. D. A magazine.

One of doctors\' most valuable tools is his nose. Since ancient times，medics have relied on their sense of smell to help

them work out what is wrong with their patients. Fruity odors（气味）on the breath，for example，let them monitor the

condition of diabetics（糖尿病病人）.

But doctors can，as it were，smell only what they can smell-and many compounds characteristic of disease are odorless.

To deal with this limitation，Hossam Haick，a chemical engineer at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa，has developed a device which，he claims，can do work that the human nose cannot.

The idea behind Dr. Haick\'s invention is not new. Many diagnostic \"breathalysers\" already exist，and sniffer dogs，too，can be trained to detect illnesses such as cancer. Most of these approaches，though，are disease-specific. wanted

to generalize the process.

As he describes in ACS Nano，he and his colleagues created a series of electrodes made of carbon nanotubes（纳米碳管）.Each of these had one of 20 organic films laid over it. Each film was sensitive to one of a score of compounds known

to be found on the breath of patients suffering from a range of 17 illnesses，including Parkinson\'s disease，multiple sclerosis，and bladder cancer. When a film reacted，its electrical resistance changed in a predictable manner. The combined changes

produced an electrical fingerprint that would be diagnosic of the disease a patient was suffering from.

To test their invention， and his colleagues collected 2.808 breath samples from 1.404 patients who were suffering

from at least one of the diseases. Its success varied. It could distinguish between samples from patients suffering from

gastric cancer and bladder cancer only 64% of the time.

At distinguishing lung cancer from head and neck cancer it was, though,100% successful. Overall it got things right 8% of

the time. Not perfect, but a useful aid to a doctor planning to conduct further investigations. And this is only the first model.

Slightly adjusted, its success rate would be expected to improve.
