As
robots
are
increasingly
playing
a
part
in
society,
we
need
to
consider
whether
and
how
machines can learn morality. While
robots can't 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
assaul
（
t
袭击）
.To sentences
like
，
several
responded
：
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, they 'll 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 should you do?
Variations of this
experiment are invoked
（
援
引
）
to ask whether
a self-driving car should
turnsharply
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 we're 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 don't come
up with an
ethical framework, we might
risk leaving it to companies to regulate their ow
products or for people
to choose with
their wallet.
Figuring out
what robot ethics we'd 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.
a
re 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 the
ultrasound
speakers can also
concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a
finger might feel a sense pushing back--
--a 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
image----any
angle,
location----and
that's
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 can't make a TV image that 's bigger
than the TV --- even a projector has to have a
projection
screen that,s bigger than
the image itself. But with a volumetric
（容积的）
display, a small,
portable
device might produce a much
larger picture. We can imagine in the future,
having volumetric displays
in watches,
for example, that create large images that just
project out of your watch
61.
From the
first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be
used to
.
A.
catch very
small objects in mid air
B.
d
evelop 3-D printer's
capabilities
C.
replace a creative display screen
D.
compose soundtracks by making no noise
62.
What do we know about display without a
screen
？
A.
It has
resulted in visual technology .
B.
It is possible
to see the image from any direction.
C.
It is already
ripe to create a real one at home.
D.
It has yet to
be tested in the research laboratory .
63.
What does the
last paragraph mainly talk
about
？
ks for the
new technology.
B.
Situations of the modern technology.
