26、Never play games with a bot(robot)—it will find a way to cheat if it can. A team from OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco, has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek. The bots also learned how to use basic tools to help them win.
Bowen Baker at Open AI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to produce skills that could one day be useful to humans.
The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的) environment filled with fixed walls, movable boxes and ladders, and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek. The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn’t communicate with each other directly.
At first, the hiders simply ran away. But they soon worked out that the quickest way to stop the seekers was to find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view. The seekers learned that they could move boxes around and use them to climb over walls. The bots then discovered that being a team-player -passing objects to each other or cooperating on a hideout -was the quickest way to win.
But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults. Seekers found that if they pushed a ladder towards a wall, they could launch themselves into the air and spot hiders from above. Hiders found that they could get rid of the ladders by pushing them aside.
It shows that AIs are able to find solutions that humans miss, says Baker. “Maybe they’ll even be able to solve problems that humans don’t yet know how to.” However, it is a large leap (跳跃) from virtual hide and seek to real problem-solving. “The main limitation is that it is in simulation,” says Chelsea Finn at Stanford University.
【1】Why did Bowen and his colleagues conduct the research?
A.To teach bots to play games.
B.To train bots to use basic tools.
C.To find if bots may cheat like humans.
D.To see the potential of robots cooperation.
【2】What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The tools of the research.
B.The design of the research.
C.The competitors of the game.
D.The environment of the game.
【3】What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Making use of faults.
B.Moving boxes around.
C.Passing objects.
D.Hiding themselves from view.
【4】What does Chelsea think of the finding of the research?
A.It can bridge a gap in the AI research.
B.It will not be influenced by the real world.
C.It may not be realized out of the virtual world.
D.It will definitely help the real problem-solving.
27、Children in the United States eat too much pizza that some researchers now argue the food should join the ranks of sugary drinks and fast food for the harm they do to health.
In a new study, the researchers found that pizza is a large source of calories, saturated fat(饱和脂肪)and salt in children’s diets.Children should not eat more than two slices of pizza for a meal,and should pair that with salad, rather than with another high-calorie food,the researchers concluded.
“Parents should aim to control pizza consumption(消费), particularly as a snack where it was shown to have a very adverse impact on children, and they should put their pizza dollars toward healthier brands.”Said Lisa Powel, director of the Illinois Prevention Research Center.
Pizza has become a matter of focus in recent years for researchers who look at the meals children eat, rather than the nutrients within them.Studies have found pizza is among the greatest sources of calories for children.
“Since pizza remains a common part of children’s diet, we need to make ‘healthy’ pizza.”Powel said.To make pizza healthier, food producers should reduce its saturated fat and salt, and increase its whole grain content,” she said.
Whether or not pizza is harmful enough to be picked out as an unhealthy food, the study attracts attention to a larger issue with the modern American lifestyle, said Alexis Tindall, who was not involved in the flow research. “Many foods are eaten too frequently and in large sizes,” said Tindall.To solve the problem, people don’t have to give up eating pizza, but instead, they can eat smaller and healthier pizza,”she said.
“Make it at home, instead of ordering it out where you don’t have any control over how it’s made.” Tindall said. “When we make it at home, we can choose healthier ingredients,increase the vegetables, reduce fat, and put in less cheese.Pizza doesn’t have to be just pepperoni(意大利辣香肠)and cheese.”
【1】According to the research, children shouldn’t eat .
A.more than two slices of pizza in a day
B.two slices of pizza for a meal
C.pizza along with salad
D.more pizza with French fries
【2】Powel suggests healthier pizza should be made .
A.with more ingredients B.with less salt
C.in smaller sizes D.at home
【3】The last sentence of the passage implies that pepperoni and cheese .
A.are necessary ingredients of pizza
B.are not the only healthy ingredients of pizza
C.should all be replaced with healthier ingredient.
D.should be reduced by adding healthier ingredients.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Pizza—a real junk food!
B.How to prepare better meals for your kids?
C.Discover the harm of eating pizza
D.Bring in healthier pizza for Americans
28、阅读理解。
Haikou—A shark was killed after being dragged to shore at Yalong Berth beach in Sanya, South China’s Hainan Province, on Sunday afternoon.
It was the first time a shark had been caught in the beach area, a popular tourist site in Hainan.
Local fishermen said they caught the 3-meter-long, l-ton shark by chance when they were fishing in sea water 1,000 metres deep near the beach.
Police temporarily protected the shark while oceanographers(海洋学家) decided whether it was a species belonging to State protection.
Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark and therefore not under State protection.
The shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by Typhoon Imbudo.It had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from internal bleeding.
Local police officer Fu Chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the fish never attack human beings on their own initiative.Fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at the Sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago.
However, police said they will improve the security system to safeguard tourists’ safety on the beach.
【1】A possible title of the article should be______.
A.Tourists in Danger
B.Killing Whale Shark
C.Shark Caught in Beach Area
D.Whale Shark in Danger
【2】From the article it can be learned______.
A.the shark was caught because of obvious injuries
B.the number of the whale shark may be small
C.typhoon Imbudo may have brought the shark to the area
D.it’s not unusual to see a shark on the beach
【3】The underlined word“confirmed”probably means______.
A.said B.believed
C.thought D.made sure
29、A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter.What was she doing after school?Where was she spending her time?My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of afterclass activities.Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking (跟踪) app on the kid’s phone.
At first, this made my sisterinlaw “feel better”.Then the good situation suddenly ended.She recalled,“I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn’t.I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends.”Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that.
With 73% of teens having their own smartphones now, according to a 2018 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question:To spy or not?
Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I’ve found teens are more receptive to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family use agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them,” she said.
Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don’t have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for providing a smartphone.” For example, his daughter must “friend” him on social media accounts so that he can review posts, and must share all passwords.
When you’re trying to build credence, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. “Parents must let children know how and when they’ll be watching them,” said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they’re not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”.
【1】Why did the author’s sister-in-law use the app?
A.Because she was interested in new apps.
B.Because she was worried about her daughter.
C.Because she wanted to know about afterclass activities.
D.Because she wanted to teach her daughter about the app.
【2】What can we learn about today’s children from Homayoun?
A.They doubt family use agreements.
B.They are worried about online safety.
C.They welcome the use of tracking apps.
D.They dislike being spied on secretly with tracking apps.
【3】According to paragraph 5, Bell’s daughter________.
A.kept him out of her online groups
B.developed some bad online habits
C.allowed him to know her online behavior
D.wanted to put a tracking app on her phone
【4】What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “credence” in the last paragraph?

A Brief History of Ice
Ice is a lot more than frozen water. In ancient days, it was nearly worth its weight in gold. Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors, and Mideastern kings ordered thick pieces of ice brought from the snow-covered mountain peak to make their drinks 【1】. Floated on ships, ice soon became a quick business -- not only as refreshment but also to cool houses in an old version of air 【2】. The Chinese of 3,000 years ago built special buildings to 【3】 ice.
