36、 some high-tech neuroscience may be able to assist parents with this important developmental task. The Robot AVatar thermal-Enhanced system, or RAVE, is the brainchild of a team of researchers led by Laura-Ann Petitto, an educational neuroscientist, at Washington, D．C.'s Gallaudet University.The

37、learning process begins when the robot's camera, which is focused on the baby's face, detects tiny changes in his/her body temperature.This, combined with the baby's facial expression, causes the robot to turn its head and guide the baby's attention to a computer screen, on which a human avatar st

C．How robots talk and read to babies. D．How the RAVE system works. 解析：選D　段落大意題。根據(jù)第二段第二、第三句“The learning process ...mu

A．Promising. B．Impractical. C．Satisfactory. D．Disappointing. 解析：選A　

46、觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段中的第二、第三句“The researchers say ...can both sign and speak to babies.”可知，盡管對這種系統(tǒng)培養(yǎng)嬰兒交流技能的長期影響進行評價為時過早，但是其初期的表現(xiàn)令人鼓舞。研究人員將在下一步推出可以用手語和口語與嬰兒交流的形象。據(jù)此可知，研究人員對這種系統(tǒng)的發(fā)展是充滿著希望的，A項意為“有前途的，有希望的”，符合語境，故A項正確。 Ⅱ.閱讀七選五 If you're a first-time language learner, you know that emotional (情感的) ups and downs
