You use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot(虚拟聊天机器人).
Xiaoice, Microsoft’s latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, the New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.
“Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice, ” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis(表情符号)in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.
Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBM’s latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia’s Deakin University, answering students’ questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.
These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms, the New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a “Samantha”, the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha has a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。喝下午茶是最为典型的英式传统。浓郁的茶香配上精致、美味的各色茶点让品饮下午茶成为了一件很惬意的事情。本文介绍了下午茶的起源、历史、发展、现状及受欢迎程度。
1．with 考查介词。此处为“with＋名词＋过去分词”的复合结构用法，在句中作状语。 2．that 考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知，此处为强调句型，“the invention of afternoon tea”是被强调部分，故填that。
3．a 考查冠词。a popular hobby “一个受欢迎的业余爱好”，此处用不定冠词a表示泛指。
4．comfortably 考查词性转换。空处在句中修饰“喝茶”这一动作，充当状语成分，应该用副词。
5．was designed 考查动词的时态和语态。该空在定语从句中充当谓语，design与作主语的关系词之间是被动关系，且由“originally”“dates back to the 1840s”可知应用一般过去时的被动语态。
