iOS 10 The world’s most advanced mobile operating system.


Easy to Use
From the moment you pick up your iOS device, you’re up and running. Tap your favorite app and get right to work — or play. Swipe from the right side of the Lock screen to quickly pull up your camera. Scroll through thousands of photos in seconds. Everything about iOS is designed to look beautiful and work beautifully.
So smooth and responsive you won’t even notice it. And that’s the point.
Because iOS is engineered specifically for iPhone and iPad, everything looks and feels incredibly fluid. iOS uses a framework called Metal to maximize graphics performance. Whether you’re surfing the web, moving from app to app, or playing the most complex 3D video game, the graphics and responsiveness are amazingly smooth. No other mobile operating system is so effortless and natural.
An OS with a remarkably high IQ.
With sophisticated features like proactive(积极主动的) suggestions, predictive typing, and everybody’s favorite personal assistant, Siri, iOS 10 makes everything you do easier, quicker, and more fun.
Nobody understands you quite like Siri.
Siri learns how you talk, not the other way around. Thanks to Apple-developed machine-learning technology, you can simply speak naturally. So whether you say “Get a Lyft to SFO” or “I’d like a ride to SFO using Lyft,” Siri will read you loud and clear.
Siri even works with your favorite apps.
You can ask Siri to send someone a payment using Square Cash, book a reservation through OpenTable, and much more. And the number of apps incorporating Siri is growing every day.
1. Instead of the complicated procedures of starting a camera on an iPhone, you can easily ________.
A.start the camera by tapping the right side of the screen
B.start the camera from the Lock screen
C.start the camera by tapping the app from the Lock screen
D.start the camera by scrolling thousands of photos in seconds
2. According to the passage, “Metal” is   ______.
A.an app which helps you surf the web

【推荐1】Nao, a small robot, looks like a person. If Nao begged you not to shut it off, what would you do?

Scientists did a study to see how people treat robots that act like people. Eighty-nine people volunteered for the study. They were asked to help to improve Nao’s social skills by finishing two tasks with it.

The tasks with the robot didn’t matter, though. What the scientists really wanted to see was how the participants reacted once the tasks were over. They were asked to talk with Nao and finally shut Nao off but it was not easy to do. Some people did not want to turn the robot off while others took a long time to do it.

People often communicate with non-human objects such as TVs and computers nowadays. But robots seem more like humans. Robots can show social characters themselves, like speaking with human voices or taking the shape of a human body. Scientists said people might have seen Nao’s cries as a sign of independent thought. In turn, this could have led people to see the robot as having the human-like character.

For thousands of years,humans lived in a world where they were the only ones who could have conversations. Our brains learned to react to social situations in a certain way. But our brains are not used to telling the difference between real people and fake people. The robot expressed feelings and desires and that got people to want to treat the robot as if it were alive.

1. Why did scientists use Nao in the study?
A.To learn about how people react to robots.B.To communicate with humans.
C.To help people finish their daily tasks.D.To improve people’s social skills.
2. What did participants do when asked to turn off Nao?
A.All of them refused to turn it off.B.Not all of them took action immediately.
C.All of them found it hard to operate it.D.All of them followed the order soon.
3. Compared with TVs, robots .
A.are more similar to humansB.often depend on humans
C.have independent thoughtD.know well about different voices
4. What can we know about our brains?
A.They are much cleverer than robots.
B.They can recognize fake people.
C.They can ’t tell the difference between real people and fake people.
D.They teach robots to show their feelings.
5. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Compare robots with TVs and computers.
B.Robots will replace humans.
C.The relationship between humans and robots.
D.How people treat human-like robots.

【推荐2】Would you like to spend a year pretending to live on Mars in a 1,700-square-foot space shared with three other people? If that's your idea of a dream job, you can thank your lucky stars, because NASA is hiring.

The agency is seeking applicants for what it calls a “one-year mission in a habitat to simulate (模拟)life on a distant world. "NASA plans to observe humans in a Mars-like situation on Earth so it can study the challenges that might occur during a future mission to the red planet.

Grace Douglas, the lead scientist for NASA's Advanced Food Technology research effort at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, says the simulated mission will benefit future missions that actually go to space. “Simulations on Earth will help us understand and counter the physical and mental challenges astronauts will face before they go.” Douglas says.

NASA is looking for four crew members who will live and work for a year in a 3D-printed, 1,700-square-foot module called Mars Dune Alpha, based at NASA's Johnson Space Center. According to NASA, the crew might perform tasks such as simulated spacewalks, using virtual reality and robotic controls, exchanging communications and conducting other studies.

The posting calls for healthy and motivated U.S. citizens between the ages of 30 and 55 years old, plus a STEM master's degree or sufficient experience piloting an aircraft.

It won't necessarily be an easy task, though. NASA warns that the crew will experience simulated problems like those humans might face on Mars, including resource limitations, equipment failure, communication delays and other environmental stressors.

In exchange, selected crew members will help bring humans one step closer to reaching Mars.

1. What can we learn from the passage?
A.Three more astronauts are needed.
B.The one-year mission is far from easy.
C.Whoever is crazy about space will get an offer.
D.A STEM master's degree is a must for application.
2. Why does NASA hire these crew members?
A.To test how their aircraft works.
B.To work as astronauts on Mars.
C.To observe human reactions on Mars.
D.To experiment with possible challenges on Mars.
3. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Life of the Four Applicants on Mars
B.Applicants Wanted for the Future on Mars
C.The Obstacles Candidates Will Face on Mars
D.The Great Significance of Space Technology
