24、In the sunny night, look up at the clear night sky. You can probably see thousands of stars. The biggest thing you’ll see, of course, is the moon. For thousands of years, people have wondered about this big thing in the sky.

Earth’s moon is a satellite. A satellite is a body that orbits(环绕轨道运行)a planet. All moons are satellites, and many planets have them. Some have many moons. Earth, of course, only has one. It’s a special moon, though. It’s the fifth largest moon in the solar system!

In fact, the moon is much smaller than the sun. But it’s much closer to Earth, so it looks as big as the sun. The moon is so close that you can see its dark and light spots(斑点)without a telescope. Men flew and landed on the moon’s surface many times by spacecrafts in the 1960s and 1970s. Neil Armstrong was the first human to step on the moon. He walked on the moon on July 20th, 1969. The flights to the moon have helped us learn much about it. Astronauts even brought rocks home with them!

There’s still a lot to learn about the moon. Now people still can’t live on the moon because it does not have oxygen or water like the Earth. But I’m sure that humans can live there one day in the future.

根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

【1】What is a satellite?

A. A planet.

B. A spacecraft.

C. A body that orbits a planet.

D. A black star.

【2】 How many moons does the Earth have?

A. One.   B. Four.

C. Three.     D. Two.

【3】Why does the moon look as big as the sun?

A. Because it’s much closer to the Earth.

B. Because it comes out at night.

C. Because it is the fifth largest moon in the solar system.

D. Because people can’t see it without a telescope.

【4】Who was the first human to walk on the moon?

A. Lance Armstrong.   B. Neil Armstrong.

C. Wally Schirra. D. Neil Diamond.

25、Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.

Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.

No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he/ she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.

Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.

【1】How many people in the world are left-handed now?

A. Less than one sixth.

B. More than a half.

C. About 40%.

D. The passage doesn’t tell us.

【2】 Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “damaged” in this  passage?

A. knocked   B. changed C. broke D. harmed

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.

B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.

D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.

【4】The best title for this passage is _______.

A. Scientists’ New Inventions

B. Left-handed People

C. Which Hand

D. Different Brains, Different Hands

27、What makes us different from machines? We have created AI（人工智能） programs that can do many of the same things we can. There are software programs that can play chess, drive cars and solve difficult math problems.

But what about creative works? Most art, music and poetry are created with emotion（情绪）. And yet, we have indeed created AI that can produce creative works.

In October, 2018, Cristine’s famous auction（拍卖）house auctioned off a painting named Portrait of Edmond de Bellamy. The painting is not very outstanding, but it was sold for $432,500, about 3 million yuan. What made it so special? The fact is that it was drawn by an AI program written by Obvious, a group of artists in Paris, according to Artnet News.

AI has entered the world of poetry as well. In April, 2018, Chinese and Japanese researchers wrote an AI program that uses pictures to write poems. The AI looks at colors and shapes in a picture and uses this information to write a poem quickly. Five hundred human judges were asked whether they could tell if the poems were written by a human or a computer. Forty percent of the judges mistakenly thought the poems were written by a human, according to MIT Technology Review.

But if AI can learn to create works of art like these, what place do humans have in the creative world? The difference is that true art is almost always an expression of emotion-something that AI is still unable to feel. As the famous poet Amy Lowell once said, “Art is the desire（渴望）of a man to express himself and to record the reactions of his character to the world he lives in.”

【1】The writer starts the passage by _______.

A．telling two stories

B．comparing two facts

C．raising a question

D．giving an example

A．all the judges mistakenly thought the poems were written by a human

B．what the difference between AI and human beings is in the area of creative world

C．Chinese and Japanese researchers wrote an AI program to paint

D．AI is smart enough to write poems with pictures given almost as well as humans

【3】According to the passage,we can infer that _______.

A．AI has entered the world of poetry as well

B．AI can perform quite well in creating works of art

C．a common painting drawn by AI was sold at a good price

D．AI programs can do all the things as humans do

【4】The author mentioned the idea of the famous poet Amy Lowell to _______.

A．explain why AI can’t take the place of humans’ role in the works of art

B．show AI can create true art because it is able to feel emotion

C．tell the difference between AI and humans in the creative world

D．worry about humans’ role in the creative world
