21、 The AI project intends to use artificial intelligence to create an innovative (创新的) theatrical performance, which is expected to premiere (首演) early next year. Head of the research team Rudolf Rosa said: “The main idea behind our study came from Tomáš Studeník, an innovator who noticed the centenary of the play ‘RUR’ is approaching. “This was a key moment for robotics, as the idea of a robot, including the word ‘robot’ itself, was invented by Karel Capek and his brother Josef wrote this play.
“Tomáš believed this should be properly celebrated and formulated the idea of turning the story around: 100 years ago, a man wrote a play about robots; what if today, robots wrote a theatre play about men?”
While there are now numerous papers focusing on machine-produced art, including some where computational techniques were used to produce dialogues or story ideas for plays, the automatic generation of an entire theatrical performance is an extremely complex task never-before attempted.
Rosa’s team decided to split the production of their play into several sub-parts. Although other research teams have used this approach to generate dialogues, few have attempted to produce an entire play. Dr Rosa said: “Thanks to the approaching anniversary, our main target is clear and fixed: by January 2021, we need to have a play ready for premiere. As it will be performed by a professional theatre group, we need to have the script ready in September, so that there is enough time for rehearsals (彩排).”
The researchers started experimenting with pre-trained language model called GPT-2. Once adequately trained, GPT-2 is able to complete unfinished texts using similar language and covering related themes. For example, if GPT-2 is fed the first paragraph of a news article, the model will try to continue to write a few additional paragraphs on the same topic, using the existing text for inspiration, while generating sentences about new concepts.
【1】How did Rosa’s team plan to do the project?
A.By cooperating with other research teams.
B.By dividing their work into few small sections.
C.By exploring the possibility of creating dialogues using AI techniques.
D.By staging an entire play directly performed by professional theatre group.
【2】What can be learned from the text?
A.The play will be on show in September.
B.GPT-2 can perform an entire play with ease.
C.Machines are still not smart enough to create art.
D.AI techniques have been applied to create dialogues for plays.
【3】What does the text tell us?
A.GPT-2 can practice continuation writing.
B.The play RUR was written by Karel Capek.
C.The idea of a robot was born half a century ago.
D.The word “robot” was coined by Tomáš Studeník.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A.“Robotre” Staged Successfully
B.“Mechatre” Trained Inadequately
C.“Mantre” Story Completed by Humans
D.“AItre” Play Written Entirely by Machines
22、GETTING A GRANT
Who pays?
The local education authority(LEA)for the area in which the student is living.
Who can get this money?
Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.

A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money---£155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of £615 at 29 or more.
If a student is handicapped?
LEAs will give up to £ 500 to help meet extra expenses---such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or special food.
Banking?
Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts(in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials). A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit.

23、 UK-based supermarket Waitrose has been accused by social media users for selling tree leaves at 6 pounds.
Photos of various tree leaves packaged in plastic bags and arranged as flower bouquets (花束) went hot on social media lately, causing complaints because of the product’s price, six British pounds. Considering tree leaves can literally be picked up from the street this time of year, ifs understandable that some people went after Waitrose, accusing the supermarket of trying to make money by selling something that is actually free.
“A bag of actual leaves? I’ll sell you a bin bag of leaves for 10 pence,” one customer wrote.
“This has got to be from the drunk Monday morning meeting category of ideas,5, someone else commented.
Apparently, the unusual bouquets appeared on Waitrose supermarket shelves as a way to welcome autumn, and featured a sticker urging customers to “bring the outdoors inside”. 'Brighten up your home with freshly picked flowers whose pleasant scents refresh the season,95 the official product description read. “We source the best blooms from expert growers, and handle them gently so that they can look beautiful for longer.”
Despite the generally negative feedback on its autumn-themed product, the British supermarket proudly announced that the idea was inspired at the beginning of autumn by a demand from shoppers. ^Whatever we intend to offer, we base our decision on the demands from customers. Our customers love using these leaves to mix in with their seasonal flowers to brighten their homes,” a Waitrose spokesperson told The Sun.
Interestingly, there were those who seemed to somewhat justify the price tag of this bag of leaves. They said that those were obviously ‘‘high quality leaves”. Their claim might be true. But even a bottle of wine can be bought at the same price or less. It seems crazy to charge 6 pounds for a bag of leaves.
【1】Why was Waitrose accused by social media?
A.Failing to offer high quality flowers.
B.Picking up tree leaves from the street.
C.Carrying out seemingly drunk ideas.
D.Selling free tree leaves at high prices.
【2】We can learn from the passage that_______.
A.tree leaves packaged in plastic bags were not fresh
B.the unusual bouquets were intended to greet autumn
C.the supermarket withdrew tree leaves due to negative feedback
D.the idea of selling tree leaves was inspired by the expert growers
【3】What seems to be the writer’s attitude toward selling tree leaves at 6 pounds?
A.Indifferent.
B.Favorable.
C.Reserved.
D.Disapproving.
