12、rers to safely test their autonomous cars.While Mcity can be used to simulate（模擬）many real-life road conditions，it cant help test gestures drivers use to communicate their intention（意圖）to other drivers，pedestrians or cyclists. To find a solution，US car manufacturer Ford，with researchers from Virgini

13、a Tech，at the beginning considered using text as a way to communicate the cars intention，but decided it would probably not work universally. The option of using symbols was also rejected，because research shows that a majority of people do not have a good understanding of what they mean.Finally, the

14、researchers settled on light signals. A white light warned that there were no humans in the car. A slow blinking one indicated that the car was coming to a stop, while a rapidly flashing light cautioned passersby that the car was about to speed up.Then came the big challengetesting the signals on re

15、al roads. We needed to try out this new lighting to communicate the intention of the vehicle, but if youve got a driver behind the seat, you still have natural communication between humans, said Andy Shaudt, who led the research team. So we needed to make it look like a driverless car.The team desig

16、ned a car seat costume（戲裝）that the driver would wear to cover his or her face and upper body. Of course，the drivers could see very clearly. The researchers then equipped the car with cameras to capture human reactions to a light bar，which flashed one of the three signals when appropriate. Six driver

17、s，all keeping their hands low on the wheel so as not to be noticed，took turns to test driving the car through the busy streets.The overall reaction to the flashing lights was very encouraging. Who knew costumes could be useful for more than Halloween？1、What did the team first consider using as a way

20、adition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improved standard of living. As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society. People are living longer and having fewer children. Therefore, many Chine

21、se families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents. But few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead.The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries. The Information Office of the State Counci

22、l, Chinas cabinet, issued（發(fā)行） a white paper on measures China has been taking to help its elderly population. The paper said Chinas population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century and the proportion of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population

23、. By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper.An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society. It puts more pressure on each

24、family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problems. It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension system.“I used to think that its not an issue for me to provide for the aged,” said Wang, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance.

25、 But last year Wangs father suffered from a serious illness and afterward Wang began to feel the pressure on his shoulders.After his father recovered, Wang opened a bank account for each parent and put away some money in the account every month to prepare for future uncertainties. In addition, he ha

26、s to save money every month to provide for his sons future education. “Im now breaking my back to support my family: saving pensions for the parents, my sons education funds, and living costs.”Wang also bought some commercial old-age insurance for himself. “We have to take precautions（預(yù)防） before it

27、is too late, and many of my colleagues share the same view,” he said.1、Which of the following is not caused by an aging society?ASocial problems.BUnemployment.CMore pressure on each family.DThe problem of the pension system.2、From the passage, we can infer _.Athe aging problem is one of the concerns

29、Evidently.4、From the passage, we can see that _.AChina is the only country to face an aging societyBmost of the developing countries face an aging societyCcountries with a large population face an aging societyDmore and more developed countries face an aging society23（8分）The cost of living in countr

44、s, and you can probably work out who it is that is walking about. The features most commonly used to identify people are faces, voices, finger prints and retinal scans. But their “behavioural biometrics”, such as the way they walk, are also giveaways.Researchers have, for several years, used video c

45、ameras and computers to analyse peoples gaits, and are now quite good at it. But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky-especially if that system is supposed to be hidden. Cameras are often visible, are hard to set up, requi5re good lighting and may have thei

46、r view blocked by other people. So a team led by Krikor Ozanyan of the University of Manchester, in England and Patricia Scully of the National University of Ireland, in Galway have been looking for a better way to recognize gait. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.In themselves, such mats are no

47、thing new. They have been part of security systems for donkeys years. But Dr. Ozanyan And Dr. Scully use a complex version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it. These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker. Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully

48、 therefore turned, as is now common for anything to do with pattern recognition, to an Artificial Intelligence system that uses machine learning to recognize such patterns.It seems to work. In a study published earlier this year the two researchers tested their system on a database of footsteps trod

49、den by 127 different people. They found that its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%. And Dr. Scully says that even without a database of footsteps to work with the system can determine someones sex-women and men, with wide and narrow pelvises(骨盆) respectively, walk in different wa

50、ys,- and guess, with reasonable accuracy, a subjects age.A mat-based gait-recognition system has the advantage that it would work in any lighting conditions-even pitch-darkness. And though it might fail to identify someone if, say, she was wearing stilettos and had been entered into the database whi

51、le wearing trainers, it would be very hard to fool it by imitating the gait of an individual who was allowed admission to a particular place.The latest phase of Dr. Ozanyans and Dr. Scullys project is a redesign of the mat. The old mats contained individual pressure sensors. The new ones contain opt

52、ical fibres(光纖). Light-emitting diodes(二極管) distributed along two neighbouring edges of a mat transmit light into the fibres. Sensors on the opposite edges( and thus the opposite ends of the optical fibres) measure how much of that light is received. Any pressure applied to part of the mat causes a

53、distortion(變形) in the fibres and a consequent change in the amount of light transmitted. Both the location and amount of change can be plotted and analyzed by the machine-learning system.Dr. Ozanyan says that the team have built a demonstration fibre-optic mat, two meters long and a metre wide, usin

54、g materials that cost 100($130). They are now talking to companies about commercializing it. One application might be in health care, particularly for the elderly. A fibre-optic mat installed in a nursing home or an old persons own residence could monitor changes in an individuals gait that warn cer

55、tain illnesses. That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over, say, or of their cognition becoming damaged.Gait analysis might also be used ass a security measure in the workplace, monitoring access to restricted areas, such as parts of military bases, server farm

56、s or laboratories dealing with harmful materials. In these cases, employees would need to agree to their gaits being scanned, just as they would agree to the scanning of their faces or retinas for optical security systems.Perhaps the most fascinating use of gait-recognition mats, though, would be in

57、 public places, such as airports. For that to work, the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database, which would be harder to arrange than the collection of mugshots and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on. Some people, however, might volu

58、nteer for it. Many aircrew or pre-registered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel.1、Camera-based gait recognition fails to come into wide use, because _.a. its not easy to find the camerasb. finger print recognition is still popularc.
