国产机器人明年要参加高考 目标是考上一本!

 A robot is being designed to compete with 12th graders during the college entrance examination in 2017 and get a score qualifying it to enter first-class universities in China, according to Huaxi Metropolis¹ Daily.

据华西都市报报道，由中国设计的一款机器人将与高三学生进行竞争，参加2017年的高考，并且目标是考上中国的一本院校。

The robot will sit three exams, namely math, Chinese and a comprehensive test of liberal arts, which includes history, politics and geography, said Lin Hui, CEO of an artificial intelligence company in Chengdu. The company won the bid for the artificial intelligence program on the robot's math test from the Ministry² of Science and Technology in 2015.

成都一家人工智能公司的CEO林辉表示，这个机器人将参加高考的数学、语文和文科综合（包括历史、政治、地理）共三场考试。2015年国家科技部立项时，这家公司一举中标了关于机器人的数学应考人工智能项目。

Like the other examinees, the robot will have to finish the exams during designated periods. Unlike the usual scene that sees 30 students sit in an exam room, the robot will take its exams in a closed room without anyone else present, except for proctors and a notary³.

与其他考生一样，这个机器人也需要在指定时间内完成考试，不过，和以往30名考生坐在一个考场里的场景不同，高考机器人将在一个封闭的房间单独进行考试，只有监考人和公证人员在场。

国产机器人明年要参加高考 目标是考上一本!

According to Lin, the robot will be linked to a printer before every exam, and the electronic examination paper will be put into the robot's program when the examination begins. The robot will be totally disconnected from the internet and will solve the problems with its artificial intelligence program. Finally the answers will be outputted through the printer.

林辉透露，每门考试开始前，高考机器人将与打印机连接。开考铃声一响，考卷的电子版就会被输入到机器人的人工智能程序。此时的机器人完全与外网切断联系，仅通过自身的人工智能程序进行答题。答完题的考卷再通过打印机输出。

It's believed that Chinese and a comprehensive test of liberal arts, rather than maths, will pose challenges to the robot, since questions in maths are objective with specific answers, while in the other test subjects, there are some subjective⁴ questions, such as the reading comprehension and essay-writing.

有人认为，相比起数学来说，语文和文科综合可能会对机器人有一定的挑战。因为数学都是有具体答案的客观题，而其他的学科，更多的是像阅读理解和写作这样的主观题。

Lin said that the robot writing technique nowadays has been increasingly mature. With key information words, a robot can write an economic news report following the widely-accepted writing mode in Silicon⁵ Valley, while nobody could tell it was written by a robot, Lin said.

林辉对此表示，其实现在机器人的写作技术都日渐成熟。他说，在硅谷有一个机器人，只要给出信息关键词，它就能按照经典的经济新闻模式整合报道。并且没人会觉得这篇报道是出自机器人之手。

From this point of view, the robot can analyze⁶ the topic of the writing session and complete writing. Though the essay may turn out to be an emotionless piece, that slightly affects the grade.

就此而论，机器人读题后会分析写作部分的关键词，再完成写作。虽然最终可能会在文章情感上有所欠缺，但这只会稍微影响一下成绩。

The robot is reportedly trying to qualify for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University in 2020, and its counterpart in Japan is eyeing Tokyo University in 2020.

据报道，高考机器人的目标是在2020年考上北大、清华，而日本也提出在2020年，同类型的机器人的目标是考上东京大学。
