D.Complexprogrammingforcommunications.【答案】28.B29.B30.D31.C【解析】【導語】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了Casio公司的新產品Molfin這一新一代智能寵物。【28題詳解】細節理解題。根據第二段中“Availableineithergoldorsilverfur,thepalm-sizedcompanionsortofresemblesarabbitwithoutears.(有金色或銀色皮毛可選，這個手掌大小的伙伴有點像沒有耳朵的兔子。)”可知，Moflin有金色或銀色的毛，看起來像沒有耳朵的兔子，所以它看起來像一個金色或銀色的毛球。故選B項。【29題詳解】細節理解題。根據第三段中“Buttheoverallcostsarelikelyfarlessthanowningalivingpetwhichdemandsfrequentfeeding,cleaning,walkingandplaying.(但是總體成本可能遠低于養一只活的寵物，活寵物需要頻繁喂食、清潔、遛彎和玩耍。)”可知，它不需要像真寵物那樣進行這些頻繁的養護活動，即它需要的維護和照料更少。故選B項。【30題詳解】詞句猜測題。根據第四段中“Theartificialanimal’sinternalprogrammingallowsitto‘buildadeeperbond’withanownerthroughvoiceandgesture-basedrecognitionsoftware.IttakesacoupleofmonthsforMoflintodevelopasimulacrumofaffectionandemotion.(這種人造動物的內部程序使其能夠通過基于聲音和手勢的識別軟件與主人“建立更深的聯系”。莫夫林需要幾個月的時間才能培養出一種情感和情緒的……。)”可知，Moflin是一個人工智能驅動的機器寵物，它本身并沒有真正的情感，而是通過編程在幾個月的時間里形成一種類似情感的東西。這里的simulacrum應該是指一種人工的、模仿出來的情感狀態，而不是真實的情感反應，simulacrum的意思是“人工模仿”。故選D項。【31題詳解】推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段“ButasTechRadarnoted,thereisadistinctdrawbackwiththisproduct—namelythatMoflin’s5-hourbatterylifedoesn’treallyholdupto,say,acat’sbatteryreserves.Rechargingtakesaround3.5hoursinabed-likecradle.(但正如TechRadar指出的那樣，這款產品有一個明顯的缺點——即Moflin的5小時電池續航時間并不能真正承受貓的電池儲備。在床狀搖籃中充電大約需要3.5小時。)”可知，Moflin的電池續航時間只有5小時，相比之下較短，而且充電需要大約3.5小時，這是它存在的明顯缺點，也就是擁有它的最大問題。故選C項。DWorkingwithARIAResearch,astartupdevelopingvisionfortheblind,PhoebePengisusingtechnologicallyadvancedhumanecholocation(回聲定位)thatenablesblinduserstoperceivetheirsurroundingsinprecisedetail.Theprocessuseseventcameraswhich,unlikenormalcamerasthattakecompleteimagesofascene,trackchangesinanimageovertime,makingthemidealfortheobservationofsmallobjectsliketabletennisballs.Theimagesarethenprocessedintosoundusingaspecialisedalgorithm(算法).Thisisthencommunicatedbacktotheplayerviaalotofloudspeakers,ultimatelywiththeaimofallowingplayerstotracktheballandmovementsusingsounds.AccordingtoPeng,tabletennismakesaperfecttestcaseforthekindoftechnologybeingdevelopedbyARIAResearch.“Tabletennishasbeenplayedfordecadesasamoreaccessibleversionoftennis.Thesportisbeginner-friendlywhilemaintainingarichlevelofcompetitiveplay.However,likemanysports,itremainsdifficultforpeoplewhosuffervisionlossorhavelowvision,”saidMsPeng,whowillsooncompleteaBachelorofEngineeringinSoftwareEngineering.“Thesmallsizeoftheballandtable,alongwiththemovementoftheballin3Dspace,arethingsthatmaketabletennisdifficulttoplayforthosewithlowvisionandcompleteblindness,”saidPeng,whoiscompletingtheworkforherdegree.“Makingthissportmoreaccessiblewhilealsoexploringthepotentialofeventcamerasweremytwobiggestmotivators,”shesaid.Inonestudy,usingtwoperfectlypositionedcameras,MsPengwasabletoidentifyandtrackaballinthreedimensionsinrealtime.Shethenfedthatdataintoanalgorithmcontrollingtheloudspeakersstandingalongthesidesofthetable,whichcreatedasoundfieldmatchingthepositionoftheball.Whiletheresultsarepromising,moreexperimentationwillbeneededbeforethesystemwillbereadyforactualplay.“Therearelimitationsonhowaccuratelypeoplecanperceivesoundlocalisation.Whattypeofsoundshouldbeused?Shouldthesoundbecontinuous?Thisiswhatwe’llbetacklinginthenextstageofdevelopment,”saidMsPeng.32.Howareeventcamerasdifferentfromnormalones?A.Theycanhavesoundslocated.B.Theyarelinkedwithloudspeakers.C.Theyconstantlyfollowimagechanges.D.Theytakecompleteimagesofascene.33.Whatmakestabletennisaperfecttestcasefortheresearch?A.Itsuniquefeature.
