26、Driverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.

Based on the responses of 625 questionnaires made by Fudan University’s National Center for Cultural Innovation Research and the communication and data science laboratory, the report states that nearly 90 percent of the respondents are familiar with driverless cars, with over 67, percent having access to both positive and negative information on cars. About 62 percent of the respondents said they were willing to ride in driverless cars. Meanwhile, around 47 percent were supportive of unmanned vehicle road tests in the country. However, more than 30 percent of the respondents expressed their concerns about the safety of driverless cars.

If personal injuries or property loss are suffered in the event of an accident, 80.5 percent of the respondents said that the designers of the AI products should bear legal responsibility while 55.5 percent said that vehicle users should also shoulder the blame.

Smart cars with partial or fully autonomous functions are expected to account for 50 percent of new vehicles sold in China by 2020. According to the blueprint released by the National Development and Reform Commission in January, the country is aiming to become a global power in smart-car development and production by 2035.

“One cannot ignore the risks and ethics issues brought up by artificial intelligence technology,” said Sun Shaojing, director of the Communication and Data Science Laboratory of the National Center for Cultural Innovation Research at Fudan University, “Policies should be strengthened to ensure a balanced development of ethics and science, especially for some fast-growing applications like driverless cars.”

27、   Researchers from Newcastle University fitted 29 Arctic terns (燕鸥) with electronic geolocators in order to track their migration route over the course of the year. The first of the birds—which weighs just 100 g—returned to Farne Island on the Northumberland coast this spring.

It travelled 96,000 km in its round trip between Northumberland and the Weddell Sea in Antarctica, almost 5,000 km further than the former record holder—another Arctic tern from the Netherlands.

Data showed the record-breaking tern travelled down the west coast of Africa before it crossed the South Indian Ocean before finally reaching its destination in Antarctica, four months later. “For a bird that weighs less than an iPhone, that’s an amazing feat,” said Chris Redfern, one of the lead researchers.

The bird began its migration on 25 July last year, arriving at the tip of South Africa exactly one month later. It spent most of October over the Indian Ocean at its first staging area, before heading to the second stage on the coast of Antarctica. It finally travelled along the edge of the Antarctic continent between 15 November and 3 February, when it arrived at the Weddell Sea. After spending around six weeks at this spot, it began its journey back, arriving in South Africa on 4 April this year. It got back to Farne Island a month later, on 5 May.

So far 16 of the 29 tagged birds have been caught and at least four more have been seen with their geolocators still attached.

Richard Bevan, another researcher, said, “It’s really quite unbelievable to see these tiny birds return when you consider the huge distances they’ve had to travel and how they’ve battled to survive. Further analysis of the data from these trackers will allow us to get a better understanding of how the Arctic terns organise their migration and how global climate change may affect their routes.”

【1】How far did the former record-setting tern fly on its one-way migration trip?

A．91,000 km.

B．48,000 km.

C．45,500 km.

D．5,000 km.

【2】Which of the following agrees with the Arctic tern’s migration route?

FI = Farne Island  IO = Indian Ocean  SA = South Africa  WS = Weddell Sea

A．SA→FI→WS→IO.

B．SA→IO→FI→WS.

C．FI→IO→SA→WS.

D．WS→IO→SA→FI.

【3】What helped the researchers most in their study of the Arctic terns?

A．Observing stations.

B．A radar system.

C．A positioning device.

D．Electric telescopes.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Secrets of Arctic terns have come to light.

B．Birds’ migration affected by climate change.

C．Terns’ migration route mapped out by researchers.

D．Tiny seabird sets record for longest migration flight.

28、To us humans, climate change feels like something that’s happening to the atmosphere, but actually about 90% of the heat that gets trapped by greenhouse gases is absorbed by the ocean. Of course, the ocean is really big, and taking its temperature is hard. Now, however, scientists have developed a technique that allows them to measure temperature changes across entire ocean basins.

The idea dates back to the 1970s, when researchers first proposed using sound waves to study ocean warming, because the speed of sound through water depends on the physical properties of that water, which are related to temperature. “And roughly, if we warm up the ocean temperature by one degree Celsius, the sound speed change－it would be four meters per second. And this is a very sensitive change.” said Wenbo Wu, a seismologist at Caltech, who led the study.

Researchers originally proposed using artificial sound sources, but that proposal got prevented because of concerns about the impacts on marine(海洋的) animals. In the new study, however, Wu and his colleagues show they can use the sounds produced by earthquakes instead. In an earthquake, some vibrations(振动) bounce off the seafloor and turn into sound waves that get picked up by a special machine and underwater microphones. The researchers looked at the travel times of these sound waves for 2,000 pairs of earthquakes that occurred in the East Indian Ocean between 2005 and 2016. Each earthquake pair happened in the same place but at different times, allowing the researchers to measure how much the sound waves sped up.

The analysis revealed that the waves traveled a few tenths of a second faster in more recent quakes than in older ones—a difference that translates to a warming trend of 0.04 degrees Celsius per decade. “0.04 degree may not sound like a lot, but it represents a huge amount of heat—considering it’s the change in a body of water almost 2,000 miles wide and several miles deep.” said Wu.

【1】What does “a technique” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Trapping greenhouse gases.

B．Using artificial sound waves.

C．Measuring the width and depth of the ocean.

D．Employing the sounds of quake vibrations.

【2】What is crucial for the study?

A．The sea is vast enough.

B．The statistics are accurate.

C．The equipment is advanced.

D．Each earthquake pair is conditional.

【3】What did the researchers find in the new study?

A．The sound waves slowed down with time.

B．The ocean temperature went up in the decade.

C．The speed change of sound waves was considerable.

D．2,000 pairs of earthquakes occurred in the same place.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Ocean Warming: A Booster of Climate Change

B．Seaquake Soundwave: A Tracker of Ocean Warming

C．Sound Waves: An Initiative in Studying Ocean Animals

D．Ocean Basins: Where Earthquakes Frequently Happen

29、Many older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people, hooked on their electronic devices, interested in classic art. Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.

Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamor of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics.

It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. For example, performances in Peking Opera often emphasize symbolism over the accurate representation of motion. There are never real horses on stage, and the film reflects that. And when Sun Wukong eats peaches, he merely copies the action of eating without taking a bite.

Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the pre-recorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said.

On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes, such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds. Also, the filming process leaves no room for actors to make the slightest mistake in front of cameras, such as those that would probably go unnoticed in an opera house.

Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but their popularity gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.

B．To advertise a new Peking Opera film, Havoc in Heaven.

C．To express older people’s concern about the young generation.

D．To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art.

【2】What did Director Cheng do while producing the film?

A．He made changes to basic performance skills.

B．He made use of symbols and motions equally.

C．He insisted on a band playing music on the scene.

D．He brought onto the stage exact details of real life.

【3】What innovation did Cheng’s team make?

A．They opposed a rigid recording of the performance.

B．They enriched visual effects with modern technology.

C．They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.

D．They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.

【4】What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

A．Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.

B．Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.

C．There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.

D．The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. The doctors didn't hold too much hope for their recovery. “What both of them need is a miracle,” they said. One man's bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. The companionship grew stronger as time went by.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. These periods gave him something to hold on to while he went through the pain of treatment.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the amazing scenes. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window described it with vivid words.
