dog named Sparky and a robotic dog AIBO were about equally effective at reducing the loneliness of nursing home residents The study confirmed previous findings that dogs have a good effect on nursing home residents Dr Andrew Smith led the Stanford University team that built a home assistance robot If humans can feel an emotional tie with robots some day they could be not just our assistants but also our companions he said To test whether residents responded better to Sparky a trained dog or the Sony made robotic dog researchers divided 38 nursing home residents into three 11 groups at three long term care centers in St Louis One group had weekly 30 minute one on one visits with Sparky another group had similar visits with AIBO a control group had no contact with either dog The groups respective levels of loneliness were tested by having them answer a number of questions at the beginning and near the end of the visits After two months both groups that had contact with the dogs were less lonely and more attached Most of the elderly regarded Sparky a 9 year old dog as an audience for their life stories said investigator Marian Banks He listened attentively wagged his tail and allowed them to pet him said Banks who adopted and trained Sparky after finding him in a street behind her home seven years ago Those who were together with AIBO took a little longer to warm to the robotic creature Over time however they grew comfortable with him and petted and talked to him He would respond by wagging his tail vocalizing and blinking his lights AIBO is charming once you start to interact with him said the study s author Dr William Banks He s an attractive sort of guy He gives a feeling of being personal not just a robot 63 Before the new study it was known that A robots were effective at reducing people s loneliness B robots could build close connection with humans C dogs could help get rid of old people s loneliness D dogs and robots were equally effective at reducing loneliness 64 Those who had contact with the robotic dog found that A they didn t feel comfortable with it B it was hard for them to interact with it C they weren t comfortable with it at

People Better Than Thought B No More Lonely Old Age with Emotional Robots C Advanced Technology Used to Cheer up the Elderly D Robots and Dogs Can Equally Cheer up the Elderly D Americans wear black for mourning while Chinese wear white Westerners think of dragons as monsters Chinese honor them as symbols of God Chinese civilization has often shown such polarities 对立 with the West as though each stands at extreme ends of a global string Now in the University if California Berkeley a psychologist has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth His findings go gar toward explaining why American cultures seem to be aggressive and Chinese cultures so passive when compared to each other More importantly the research opens the way for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways The Chinese could learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth said Kaiping Peng a former Beijing Scholar who is now a UC Berkley assistant professor of psychology And Americans could profit enormously from he Chinese tolerance for accepting contradictions in social and personal life he said Americans have a terrible need to find out who is right in an argument said Peng The problem is that at the interpersonal level you really don t need to find the truth or maybe there isn t any Chinese people said Peng are far more content to think that both sides have advantages and disadvantages because they have a whole awareness that life is full of contradictions They do far less blaming of the individual than do Americans he added In studies of interpersonal argument for example when subjects were asked to deal with contradictory information resulting from conflict between a mother and a daughter or a student and a school Peng found that Americans were non compromising blaming one side usually the mother for the causes of the problems demanding changes from one side to attain a solution and offering no compromise in dealing with the conflict Compared to this angry blaming American method the Chinese were paragons 模范 of compromise finding fault on both sides and looking for solutions that moved both sides to the middle 13 67 In Paragraph 1 the author sets examples in order to A expose the contradiction between Chinese and Americans B show the differences between Chinese culture and American culture C find the reason for the differences D generalize the main idea of the passage 68 Compared with Americans Chinese are A likely to find the truth in life B unwilling to admit their own failure C unwilling to have a general idea of things D likely to know advantages and disadvantages of things 69 The studies show A an American treats his or her mother badly B different ideas of treating the aged C different personality of Chinese and Americans D different conflicts of Americans and Chinese 70 The main idea of the passage is A polarities between American and Chinese cultures B extreme ends of the string C different attitudes towards the aged D different manners in social occasions 第二节 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 根据短文内容
