1、职称英语理工类ABC级密卷名师押题2013年职称英语理工类A、B、C级密卷押题When Our Eyes Serve Our Stomach当我们的眼睛服务我们的胃Our senses arent just delivering a strict view of whats going on in the world；theyre affected by whats going on in our heads. A new study finds that hungry people see food-related words more clearly than people whove j

2、ust eaten. 我们的感官不只是提供世界上正在发生的事情一个严格的看法；他们在我的头上有什么影响。一项新的研究发现，饥饿的人看到食品相关的词比那些刚刚吃过的人更清楚。Psychologists have known for decades that whats going on inside our head affects our senses For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighterRm

3、i Radel of University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France, wanted to investigate how this happensDoes it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brains high-1evel thinking processes get involved. 心理学家们已经知道了几十年，怎么在我们的头会影响我们的感觉。例如，穷人家的孩子比他们认为的硬币，和饥饿的人认为食物图片更

4、明亮。RMI拉德尔尼斯的索菲亚Antipolis，法国大学，想了解这是如何发生的。它发生的权利作为大脑接收信号来自眼睛或晚一点的大脑的思维过程的参与high-1evel。Radel recruited 42 students with a normal body mass indexOn the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a del

5、ay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten. 拉德尔招募了42名学生和一个正常的身体质量指数。在他或她的考试那一天，每个学生被告知，中午到达实验室后三或四小时不吃东西。然后他们被告知有一个延迟。一些被要求在10分钟内回来；别人得到一个小时前吃午餐。所以一半的学生被饿

6、的时候他们做实验，另一半刚刚吃了。For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screenOne by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceiveA quarter of the words were food-relatedAfter each word, eac

7、h person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words theyd seen-a food-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it在实验中，参与者看着电脑屏幕。一个接一个，80字闪现在屏幕上约升/第三百秒每。他们把在如此小的尺寸，学生只能有意识的感知。四分之一的话food-related.

8、after每个字，每个人都被问的话是多么的明亮和要求选择其中的两个词就一个食品相关的词像蛋糕或一个中性词，像船。每个单词出现的参与者真的读过。Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food- related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception, not in

9、thinking processes, Radel says. 饥饿的人看到了食品相关的词为光明和更好地识别食品有关的词语。因为这个词出现的太快，他们是可靠的，这意味着，不同的是感觉，不是在思维过程，拉德尔说。“This is something great to meHumans can reallyperceive what they need or what they strive for. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs.

10、”Radel says. “这是对我很好。人类可以reallyperceive他们所需要的或他们所追求的。从实验中，我知道，我们的大脑真的可以在我们的动机和需要处理。“拉德尔说。练习题：1What does the new study mentioned in Paragraph l find?A Hungry people see every word more clearly than ordinary peopleB Hungry people are always thinking of foodrelated wordsC Hungry people are more sensiti

11、ve to foodrelated words than stomachfull peopleD Hungry people do not have lowerlevel of thinking process2Why was there a delay on the day of the experiment?A Because hungry people needed time to fill their stomach. B Because Radel wanted to create two groups of testers, hungry and nonhungryC Becaus

HumanS senses arent just delivering a strict view of whatS going on in the world. B. Whats perceived by our senses affects our

Thinking processes guarantee the normal functions of our senses4What did the results of the experiment indicate?A. 80 words flashed on the screen too fast for the participant to intentionally perceive. B. Hun

The participants could barely perceive what they needed or what they strived for5. What carl we infer from the passage?A. 42 participants are too small a number for a ser

15、ious investigation. B. An experiment with hungry and nonhungry participants is not reliable. C. Our thinking processes are independent of our senses. D. Humans call perceive what they need without involving highlevel thinking processesMusical Robot Companion Enhances Listener Experience音乐机器人伴侣提高听众的经

16、验Shimi, a musical companion developed by Georgia Tech, s Center for Music Technology, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps the music pumping basedonlistener feedback. The smartphone-enabled, 0ne-foot-tall robot is billed as all interactive“musical friend”. 米，由佐治亚理工学院开发的一个音乐的同伴，音乐技术，中心推荐的歌曲

17、，舞蹈和音乐的节拍保持抽basedonlistener反馈。智能手机的启用，一英尺高的机器人被称为互动”的音乐的朋友”。“Shimi is designed to change the way that people enjoy and think about theft music, ”said Professor Gil Weinberg. the robots creatorHe will unveil the robot at the June 27th Google I/O conference in San Francisco. A band of three Shimi robo

18、ts will perform for guests, dancing in sync with music created in the lab and composed according to its movements. “宓旨在改变人们喜欢的方式思考和盗窃的音乐，”吉尔教授说温伯格。机器人的创造者。他将在六月二十七日谷歌I/O大会在三藩推出的机器人。一个带三米的机器人将执行客人跳舞，在实验室建立的同步音乐和组成，根据其运动。Shimi is essentially a docking station with a“brain”powered by an Android phoneOn

19、ce docked, the robot gains the sensing and musical generation capabilities8 0f the users mobile device In other words, if theres an“app”for that, Shimi is readyFor instance, by using the phones camera and face-detecting software, Shimi can follow a listener around the room and position its“ears”. Or

20、 speakers. for optimal soundAnother recognition feature is based on rhythm and tempo. If the user taps a beat, Shimi analyzes it, scans the phones musical library and immediately plays the song that best matches the suggestion. Once the music starts, Shimi dances to the rhythm, 米是一个停靠站与一个“大脑”由一个Andr

22、 Breran. “Shimi shows us that robots can be creative and interactive. ”Future apps in the works will allow the user to shake their head in disagreement or wave a hand in the air to alert Shimi to skip to the next song or increase/decrease the volumeThe robot will also have the capability to recommen

23、d new music based on the users song choices and provide feedback on the music play list. “许多人认为机器人是由他们的编程指令的限制，“音乐技术博士学位候选人梅森布雷藩说。“宓向我们表明，机器人可以创意和互动。“在未来的工作程序将允许用户摇头不一致或波在空中手警报米跳到下一首歌或增加/减少的体积。机器人还建议新的音乐，根据用户的选择歌曲和提供反馈的音乐播放列表的能力。Weinberg hopes other developers will be inspired to create more apps to

24、 expand ShimiS creative and interactive capabilities. “I believe that our center is ahead of a revolution that will see more robots in homes”Weinberg said温伯格希望其他开发商将激励创造更多的应用程序扩展米的创意和互动能力。“我相信我们的中心是在一场革命，将在家里看到更多的机器人。”温伯格说。Weinberg is in the process of commercializing Shimi through an exclusive lice

25、nsing agreement with Georgia Tech. Weinberg hopes to make the robot available to consumers by the 2013 holiday season. “If robots are going to arrive in homes. we think that they will be this kind of machines-small, entertaining and fun, ”Weinberg said. “They will enhance your life and pave the way
