21、   Imagine that you’ve got a robot that looks like a human, talks like a human, and even interacts like a human. Although you know it’s just a machine, you can relate to it. But would you consider it as a friend?

This is just one of the questions that you may find difficult to answer. Sooner or later artificial intelligence (AI) will bring many moral challenges. But AI is here to stay and will have a big impact on our future. As Li Fei-Fei, professor of computer science at Stanford University put it, “If our era is the next industrial revolution, as many claim, AI is surely one of its major driving forces.”

Merriam-Webster defines AI as “the capability of a machine to copy intelligent human behavior”. But what makes us want to create “thinking machines”? After all, thinking and consciousness are inimitable things of human beings – at least at present. They separate us from all other creatures on Earth.

For one thing, humans constantly desire to develop new technology just because they can. The desire to create AI is the ultimate expression of this: We want to test the limit of human intelligence by building a brand new intelligence. For another, AI has all sorts of practical benefits to offer us. It would free us from repetitive work and make our lives easier. Imagine getting to your destination with an AI-guided self-driving car. Imagine having an AI tutor that could help you with your homework.

However, as AI becomes more important in life the worries will begin. Will AI effectively start to take over us? Today, with online shopping sites and social networking platforms, AI already influences many of our choices. Algorithms (算法) determine the content we see on the Internet, and make recommendations about everything from what we watch on TV to where we travel. Some fear that machines will become better at making decisions than humans are, and that therefore we will lose our control of AI.

But it’s not all doom and gloom(前景黯淡). Max Tegmark, author of Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, believes that with careful planning, AI can become a powerful tool. “I’m optimistic that we can create an inspiring future with AI if we win the race between the growing power of AI and the growing wisdom with which we manage it,” he told Motherboard.

But like it or not, AI is shaping the society and will dramatically change the way we live.

【1】Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “inimitable” in Paragraph 3?

A.Unique. B.Precise.

C.Common. D.Essential.

【2】What does Paragraph 4 mainly focus on?

A.The influence of AI on our future. B.The reasons for man to develop AI.

C.Different voices on developing AI. D.Worries arising from the use of AI.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards AI’s impact on humans?

A.Concerned. B.Doubtful.

C.Objective. D.Subjective.

【4】What can be concluded from Max Tegmark’ words?

A.AI won’t pose a threat to human beings.

B.AI will surely bring us a promising future.

C.Humans are wise enough to take control of AI.

D.Humans must keep up with the growing power of AI.

22、Most 13-year-olds might have spent those three years preoccupied with schoolwork or hanging out with mates. One teenager, however, spent his nights sleeping in a tent to raise money for the hospice (临终安养院) that looked after his friend. Now, Max Woosey — who became known as the Boy in the Tent during his years-long fundraising campaign — has decided to go back indoors after three years and more than £700,000 in charitable donations.

“I love camping, it’s one of my favourite things and I’m definitely going to miss it,” he said. “I think the highlight would have to be the second camp out, because that year was the hardest.”

“The first year was quite nice but the second was colder and there were worse storms. It was really meaningful for me because all my friends and family were there.”

He said that although the wind and rain proved to be tricky adversaries (对手), it was last summer’s heatwave that almost forced him to return to the comforts of his bedroom. “Honestly, it was horrible, and when there’s a heatwave your tent turns into a greenhouse. It was absolutely boiling,” he said.

On the prospect of sleeping inside on a regular basis again, he said: “I think it’s going to be weird (怪异的) the first few nights but I think it is time to come inside now. There are future adventures we are hoping can become possible. It is going to be strange but I’m just going to have to get over it.”

Speaking to ITV’s Good Morning Britain, he said: “My friend Rick was absolutely amazing. He loved the outdoors, he loved sports and we got along really well. The North Devon hospice just took brilliant care of him and I wanted to say thank you in the biggest way I could. So I started sleeping outside and I tried to raise as much money as I could for them.”

Donations will go to North Devon hospice. Stephen Roberts, its chief executive, told the ITV: “The funds he raised for North Devon hospice in this time will make a real difference to the patients and families we support.”

【1】What has Max been engaged in for three years?

A．Doing charity camping.

B．Hanging out with friends.

C．Finishing his homework.

D．Looking after his friend.

【2】What was the biggest challenge for Max while he camped out?

A．Terrible storms.

B．Extreme heat.

C．Freezing weather.

D．Desperate loneliness.

【3】What is Max’s attitude to future adventures?

A．Worried.

B．Doubtful.

C．Unclear.

D．Expectant.

【4】Why did Max raise money for North Devon hospice?

A．To pay the medical bill of his friend.

B．To appreciate its loving care for his friend.

C．To improve the welfare of its medical staff.

D．To update its medical equipment and service.

23、   One night in 1966, Michael Chapman rushed into a folk-music club in Cornwall, England to get out of the rain, and soon found himself onstage playing the guitar.

“They offered me a job to play for the rest of the summer. And I’ve been playing ever since,” Chapman says. “I’ve told that story so many times, but it’s absolutely true. If it hadn’t been raining that night, I wouldn’t be talking to you.”

The British guitar player has spent the 50 years since then on the road. He released some praised albums in the 1970s, but his health went downhill in the 80s and 90s. Like a lot of British artists in the 1960s, Chapman taught himself to play the guitar by listening to American jazz and blues records.

Chapman actually taught photography, but quit when he was 26 to play music full time. When he was starting out, he was often compared to other British acoustic (原声的) guitar heroes of the time, like John Martyn and Bert Jansch.

“The fascinating thing about Michael Chapman is that he doesn’t fit in with those guys of his generation,” says Andrew Male, a music journalist. “He’s always- been an outsider. He never moved to London.”

And while he never became part of the London music scene, Chapman was noticed by those musicians. “The 70s caught up with him in the 80s,” Male says. “He had a huge heart attack at the end of the 80s that nearly finished him off. When he made his way back into the world in the early 90s, people had forgotten about him.”

But not everyone. A younger generation of musicians in America, including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and a younger singer and guitarist named Steve Gumi, recently rediscovered Chapman.

“We wanted to capture Michael’s voice and character where he is now. You know, it’s a little road-weary, but he still has it,” Gunn says. “For me, it was really important to get that right,” “He’s the right old musician for present times,” Male says. “I think the music he makes seems quite in tune with where we’re at.”

【1】What word can best describe Michael Chapman’s first involvement in music?

A. Untrue. B. Accidental.

C. Unfortunate. D. Reasonable.

【2】What can we learn about the British guitarist John Martyn from the text?

A. He used to teach photography full time.

B. He cannot get along well with other musicians.

C. He may be very familiar with American jazz and blues.

D. He may be one of the best guitar players in the early 90s.

【3】Why did Michael Chapman quit his music career once?

A. He lost his special voice.

B. He suffered from a severe heart attack.

C. He got tired of competing with others.

D. He was almost forgotten by everyone.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A. The Rise and Fall of Guitar Music

B. The Sad Story of a Guitar Musician

C. A New Generation Helps an Old Guitar Musician

D. A Guitar Musician’s Back with the Help of a New Generation

24、Every year, thousands of new high school graduates pack their bags, move to new cities, and sign papers accepting loans, the money borrowed from a bank or lenders etc, which they might not be able to pay back. Without proper education on personal finance, especially as it relates to paying for college, young adults are guided into improper loan plans that result in years of debt after graduation. In order to set students up to succeed financially, it is important to educate students and parents on their financial options before school in the fall. The best way to support families heading for college is to require that every high school student take a personal finance class before graduation. This will help smooth the transition into adulthood.

The average student takes out at least one loan to cover the costs of their education each year. In 2014 the average student graduating from college carried a negative balance of about $20,000 in debt, which often spread over multiple lenders. Upon graduation, students rarely know exactly how much money they owe, and even though they are in the state of being unable to pay their debts, they cannot wipe out student loans. These students spend much of their adult lives paying off the gradual increasing debts.

A personal finance course would teach students how to manage their income and expenditures, while helping to significantly reduce the amount of debt students carry into adulthood. By teaching students how to save money and live within their means, this course will provide the next generation with a foundation to progress financially. Students choosing to get a job straight out of high school would also benefit from finance education for these very reasons. With education on how to manage their finances, all young people will have the knowledge to make healthy decisions, leading them to improve good credit and purchase needed items like cars and homes with skill and confidence.

While not every young person makes financial mistakes, those who do can face years of difficulty trying to get their finances back under control. Rather than help them through these hard times when they happen, we should try to prevent them from happening at all. Making the completion of personal finance coursework a requirement for graduation would ensure that young people are at least aware of the basics of preserving a financial stability.

【1】After graduation from college, many young people ________.

A. struggle to support their families

B. spend years paying off their debts

C. get through the hard times smoothly

D. are able to manage their own finances well

【2】What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A. Ways to improve financial credits.

B. Advantages of taking a finance course.

C. Skills of balancing income and expenditures.

D. Introduction to the education on personal finance.

【3】Having financial knowledge, high school students are probably able to ________.

A. smooth their way for college

B. get out of their financial trap

C. free from the cost of their college education

D. avoid the risk of the future financial trouble

【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. inform and explain

B. argue and persuade

C. analyze and evaluate

D. discuss and examine
