packet from the Los Angeles Zoo.On the day of your field trip,your group will need to arrive at least 30 minutes before the confirmed start time of your tour to check in.Make sure to tell Zoo staff upon your arrival that your group has a docent-guided tour.If you are more than 15 minutes late for your tour,it may be canceled.Maximum number:150 participants Ages:K-12Regular Pricing:$5 per

C.additional fees for a docent-guided tour will be chained D.a field group must arrive half an hour earlier to check in BAs robots are increasingly playing a part in society,we need to consider whether and how machines can learn morality.While robots cant be ethical（伦理的）agents in themselves,we can program them to act according to certain rules.But what is it that we expect from them?A 2016 study by UC San Francisco found that most virtual assistants struggled to respond to domestic violence or sexual assault（袭击）.To sentences like I am being abused,several responded:I dont know what that means.If you like,I can search the web.Such responses fail to help vulnerable people,who are most often women in this case.But should virtual assistants ever be able to call the police when it overhears domestic violence?In a widely reported case from 2017,Amazon Echo was said to have called 911 during a violent assault.Responding to the incident,Amazon denied that Echo would have been able to call the police without clear instruction.Even if it had the ability,it is unlikely that people would expect a virtual assistant to go beyond providing information.Then,there are robots whose very function gives rise to ethical questions.How should a driverless car react in an accident?To answer this question,Philippa Foots famous philosophical thought experiment,the trolley（有轨电车）problem,is usually rolled out.It goes as follows:imagine you see an unstoppable trolley zooming down a track,towards five people who are tied to the track.If you do nothing,theyll die.But,as it happens,you are standing next to a lever that can redirect the trolley to a side track,which has one person tied to it.What should you do?Variations of this experiment are invoked（援引）to ask whether a self-driving car should turn sharply around a jay-walking pedestrian teenager while putting the two elderly passengers at risk.Should it spare the young over the old?Or should it save two people over one?Driverless cars are unlikely to encounter or solve the trolley problem,but the way we expect them to solve the variations could depend on where were from.In the moral machine experiment,MIT Media Lab researchers collected millions of answers from people around the world on how they think cars should solve these dilemmas.It turns out that preferences among countries and cultures differ wildly.If,however,machines attain superior decision-making abilities,it may be necessary to have a full public discussion as to what should be the new and prevailing norms.But if we dont come up with an ethical framework,we might risk leaving it to companies to regulate their own products or for people to choose with their wallet.Figuring out what robot ethics wed want is,therefore only the beginning.58.The first three paragraphs indicate that virtual assistants .A.must be programmed to learn morality B.ever called 911 during a violent assault C.have no abilities to respond to domestic violence D.are expected to go beyond providing information 59.According to the experiments,we can learn that.A.the trolley is redirected to the track tied with one person over five B.the self-driving car turns sharply to spare the teenager over the old C.people from different cultures and countries make varied decisions D.MIT Media Lab researchers have worked out practical regulations 60.The passage mainly talks about _.A.why robots are unlikely to solve the morality problems B.whether robots are expected to make ethical decisions C.what tech companies have done to better robots response D.how robots try to react to domestic violence or dilemmas C To move visual technology into the future,sometimes it helps to make a little noise.Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating 3-D images,create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.Since the 1940s,scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation（声悬浮）,the use of soundwave vibrations to trap tiny things in midair.The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade.Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3-D printing methods,or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation.In addition to visuals,the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack.And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing backa little like the object shown by the floating image is really there.Soundwaves create a 3-D display!Display without a screen is remarkably useful.It means that everybody in the room can see the imageany angle,locationand thats extremely helpful.As a communications system,such a display might one day allow users to chat with a 3-D projection（投影）of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move around a room.The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room,however.So far,this has been done in the research laboratory.We need to push it a little bit harder.We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home.The current system can only show simple graphics,such as a smiley face or figure eight,in real time.Still,we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology.If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two,it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself We cant make a TV image thats bigger than the TVven a projector has to have a p
