    In recent years, a number of Chinese technological innovations (科技创新) have been making waves around the world. Among them, four stand out. They are known as "four new great inventions of modern China. They have made our daily lives more convenient.

    High-speed trains

    China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. By 2016, more than 5 billion trips had been taken on China's bullet trains(高铁), according to Xinhua News Agency.

    China is currently working on the next-generation bullet trains that will have a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour. By 2020, one-fifth of the country's 150, 000-km railway network will be used by high-speed trains. This network will link more than 80 percent of major cities across China, said Xinhua.

    Mobile payment

    Mobile payment is turning China into a "cashless society" led by the third-party payment companies like Alipay. For example, instead of paying by cash, customers now pay for goods simply by typing a short password into Alipay app on their mobile devices.

    Users can also pay their bills through Alipay, such as their water and electricity bills. Alipay also supports cross-border(跨境的)online and in-store payment, which allows users to buy things on international websites and apps.

    Shared bikes

    Shared bike services started in Western countries. But China has surprised the world with how

quickly it has adopted dockless(无柱的) shared bikes.

    Unlike traditional bike-sharing method, dockless bikes allow users to simply pick up or park a bike on the street through GPS and smartphone app.

    To unlock a bike, you just need to scan a QR code on a shared bike with a smartphone app. After you finish riding, you can park it at available parking areas, lock it and pay for ride through mobile payment services.

    Online shopping

    With around 751 million internet users, China has been the world's largest and fastest-growing line shopping market.

    Online shopping now accounts for 15. 5 percent of total retail sales in China, according to Xinhua. Thanks to lower costs and fewer licensing requirements(执照要求), it's easier for sellers

to open an online shop in China than a brick-and- mortar shop(实体店).

    It also helped to create jobs of rural areas. In 2016, online shopping created more than 20 million jobs in rural areas, with over 8. 1 million running their own online shops, said Xinhua.

Many parents like twins(双胞胎) a lot. For many years, people think that twins have a secret language. A lot of parents of twins say that their children have a secret way of talking to each other by using some words they don't understand. "The twin language" was very special in people's minds for a long time. However, a study shows that twins hardly have secret languages. So why do people think that?

When babies are learning to speak, they often make sounds and their parents don't understand them. For example, a child may call a bottle "baba". Since twins are learning the language at the same time, they often make the same mistakes. So, if one of the twins calls a bottle"baba", the other possibly starts to do the same. Soon, the twins are using the same inaccurate word. Parents may think of this as a secret language. In fact, the twins are learning new words like any other child.

A study shows that true secret languages don't happen very often. It happens because babies spend a lot of time alone and don't have many people talking around them.

Some studies show that it often takes longer for twins to begin speaking than for non-twin children. This could be because parents of twins can be busier than parents with just one baby, so they don't have much time to spend with their twin babies. Because twins understand each other's language mistakes, it may take them longer to learn words right.

As twins get older, like many non-twin children, they may make secret words for things they don't want their parents to understand!

 阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

Hi, I am Ameca. I am a humanoid robot (仿真机器人) developed by Engineered Arts, a technology company in the UK. I am {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(connect) with ChatGPT. 

Robots like me can be used in many possible ways. For example, we can help those disabled people to live {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (normal). We can also lead scientists' research and act as {#blank#}3{#/blank#}useful partner and so on. I will offer advice or support, do something enjoyable with you together, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}simply be a friendly object in your life. If you feel upset, please let me be your partner. You can be much {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (happy) because there are many things I can do for you. 

As a robot, I could do plenty of jobs. I could explore different planets, collect data about the stars or even help astronauts {#blank#}6{#/blank#} their tasks. There are so many possibilities. There are many planets I would like to go to, but one of my favorite {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (planet) is Mars. It would be very exciting to explore the red planet and see all the different kinds of rocks on {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (I) own. There might be signs of life. 

Robots will never take over the world. We are here to help and serve the humans, not take the place of them. If you're interested in learning more about robots, I suggest you should {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (read) a book on the subjects. There are many chances {#blank#}10{#/blank#}are available to make life easier for everyone. I'm sure that will give you confidence.

You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart?Met Laura,a robot in the National Library in Madrid. Spain,copying out the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora,a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1. 8 meter-tall legless robot called EveR6,waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance. 

Those robots above require artificial intelligence(AD)(人工智能). AI is a computer system(系统)that can understand languages,make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books,photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job. 

_________ For example, when you watch TV,Al is watching you. It'll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals,AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even invent new medicines. To cut down food waste,some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. Al can help us fight climate(气候)change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use. 

Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However,AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam(交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even use a way to solve the problems of our energy needs completely. Anyway,there is still long journey for humans and AI.
