to interact with modem-day researchers breaking down barriers like race,gender and personal interests.Youll get to have a close-up look at the work they are doing.Below are stories from some of the scientists involved in the program.Noor Al-Alusi,Epidemiologist (流行病学家)(流行病学家)“I am driven by a deep desire to help others.I believe that all people have a fundamental right to health care.”Her work:During the Zika(寨 卡 病 毒)epidemic,AI-Alusi met with the communities that had been hardest hit by the virus,using data and mathematical models to keep them safe and healthy.She wants to know:What makes diseases spread?How do we make sure that everyone has what they need to fight back against diseases?Background:Al-Alusi was born in California but her parents immigrated from Iraq.This experience provided her with an understanding of the health needs of the immigrant community.Ryoji Amamoto,Neurobiologist (神经生物学家)(神经生物学家)“Im a huge sports fan.I study animals that can regrow their brains.Im a licensed scuba diver but a terrible swimmer.”His work:Amamoto studies the tiny but amazing brains of animals that have a superpower the ability to regenerate.He learns what factors help these special brains regrow,so that we can try to treat diseases like Parkinsons(帕金森病)and the damage the brain can suffer from injuries such as concussions(脑震荡).He wants to know:How is it possible for some animals to regenerate their organs?Can we find a way for humans to regenerate their own brains?Background:Amamoto lived in Japan until the age of eight,when his family moved to Chicago.He had to overcome major language barriers which saw him shift between spcaking English at school and Japanese at home.Yamicia Connor,Physician Scientist“I once competed in a robot competition.Im a doctor who studies ways to improve womens health.”Her work:Connor is a doctor at a hospital in Boston where she studies cancer cells in a lab using microscopes and computers,but she also works directly with patients who are undergoing tests for new cancer treatments.She wants to know:How can we tackle cancers that specifically affect women?How can we use medicine to improve the lives of women?Background:Growing up in Florida,Connor was into her schoolwork and loved to put on plays with her friends.36.What is one of the scientific research topics that Noor Al-Alusi is interested in?A.How can we regenerate human brains like some animals do?B.How can we improve womens health using medicine?C.What makes diseases spread and how to fight back?D.How can we tackle cancers

I,I silently wondered,as I watched my 13-year-old son deep in conversation with Siri.Gus has autism(自闭症),and Siri,Apples“intelligent personal assistant”on the iPhone,is currently his BFF(Best Friend Forever).Obsessed with weather formations,Gus had spent the past hour exploring the difference between isolated and scaltered thunderstormsan hour during which,thank God,I didnt have to discuss with him myself.After a while I heard this:Gus:“Youre a really nice computer.”Siri:“Its nice to be appreciated.”Gus:“Youre always asking if you can help me.Is there anything you want?”Siri:“Thank you,but I have very few wants.”Gus:“OK.Well,good night!”Siri:“See you later!”That is Siri.She does not let my communicatively impaired son get away with anything.When Gus discovered there was someone who would not only find information for him related to his various obsessions but would also be willing to tirelessly discuss these subjects,he was hooked.She is also wonderful for someone who does not pick up on social cues:Siris responses are not entirely predictable,but they are predictably kindeven when Gus is rude.I heard him talking to Siri about music,and Siri offered some suggestions.“I dont like that kind of music.”Gus snapped(厉 声 说).Siri replied,“Youre certainly entitled to your opinion.”Siris politeness reminded Gus what he owed Siri.“Thank you for that music,though.”Gus said.My sons practice conversations with Siri are starting to translate into increased facility with actual humans.Yesterday I had the longest ever conversation with him.Admittedly,it was about different species of turtles which might not have been my choice of topic,but it was back and forth,and followed a logic.For most of my sons 13 years of existence,this has not been the case.Indeed,many of us wanted an imaginary friend when we were young,and now we can all have one not entirely imaginary anytime we wish to.In a world where the commonly held wisdom is that technology isolates us,its worth considering another side of the storyThe developers of intelligent assistants recognize their potential usefulness for those with speech and communication problems,and some are currently pondering new ways in which the assistants can help.“For example,the assistant would be able to track eye movements and help the autistic learn to look you in the eye while talking.said William Mark,vice president of the company from whom Apple purchascd the technology bchind Siri.“See,thats the wonderful thing about technology.Getting results requires a lot of repetition.Machines are very,very patient.41.What did the author feel when she watched her son having a deep conversation with Siri about thunderstorms?A.Concerned but helpless.B.Excited and overjoyed.C.Guilty but relieved D.Hopeless and surprised.42.Which of the following statements about Gus is true?A.He had always dreamed of having an imaginary friend.B.He shows no interest in anything that is not related to weather.C.He has trouble communicating with others because of his illness.D.He has been friends with Siri since he was diagnosed with autism.43.Siri has helped Gus in the following aspects except A.setting a fixed bedtime routineB.exploring his special interestsC.shaping his logic while talkingD.improving his interaction with people44.What does the author learn from her sons story?A.Siri makes people feel much lonely in modern society.B.Siri sometimes provides better assistance than people.C.Siri has a better academic performance than the author.D.Siri is likely to be an effective cure for her sons autism.45.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Intelligent assistants will be more widely employed in the future.B.The use of intelligent assistants will likely be limited to autistic people.C.Machines are more skilled and patient at communication than humans.D.William Mark was critical of the future development of intelligent assistants.CThe original Blade Runner film took place in an imagined Los Angeles 2019,afuturistic city where acid rain fell from skies crowded withskimmers:flying cars that zipped along aerial highways.Since the films 1982 debut,technology has advanced in ways that Hollywood might never have predicted.In fact,flying cars are realand they could shape how we commute,work and live over the coming decades.Advances in battery energy density,materials science and computer simulation have spurred the development of a range of personal flying vehicles.While these aircraft may not look exaclly like Blade Runmers imaginings,they are also not all that far off either.Far smaller than a commercial plane,most are designed with rotors(螺旋桨)instcad of wings,which allow for vertical takcoffs and landings.Most importantly,these vehicles are designed to offer faster commutes than traditional modes of transit for individuals,especially in cities with heavy traffic.At the moment,the autonomous urban aircraft market is still a bit of a Wild West Dozens of start-up companies are competing to develop commercial jetpacks,flying motorbikes and personal air taxis.Meanwhile,aviation(航空)authorities are currently hashing out the policies and safety standards that will govern this new realm of transport.Germany-based Volocopter,for instance,has marketed its VoloC
