16．The defeat of Lee Sedol，the world's strongest Go （圍棋） player，by a Google artificial intelligence （AI） program，looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can．It is not．There are uncountable things that only a human can do，and that no computer seems close to．The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone．The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic．But even the most powerful programs are not human，just as a shovel （鏟車）．They have no feelings．What they have is power，but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us a ll．
It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent，but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians （火星人）．Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development，and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world．It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass （以金錢來(lái)衡量的） society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted．
One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is，at the same time，the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity．If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour，it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way．So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated （自動(dòng)化）．And robots will never need pensions．AI is slowly reducing skilled work，like some forms of medical diagnosis （診斷），at the same time，as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training．The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own．
But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers．
62．By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol，the author intends to tell us thatC．
A．comput ers can completely replace humans in everything
B．humans are of no practical economic values to the society
C．the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate

63．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers willD．
A．improve the quality of human life
B．promote equality at work places
C．make contributions to human development
D．widen the gap between the rich and the poor
64．What does"artificial stupidity"in Paragragh 3 mean？B
A．Unskilled workers become stupid．
B．AI discourages skilled work．
C．Computers don't need pensions．
D．AI is ruining medical training．
65．What is the author's attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence？C
A．Optimistic．B．Supportive．C．Sceptical．D．Cautious．

3．Having worked at a 7-Eleven store for two years，I thought I had become successful at what our manager calls"customer relations"．I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an automatic"sir"，"ma'am"，and"thank you"would see me through any situation that might arise，from soothing（安慰，勸慰）impatient or unpleasant people to apologizing for giving out the wrong change．But the other night an old woman shattered  my belief that a glib（非誠(chéng)懇的）response could smooth over the rough spots of dealing with other human beings．
The moment she entered，the woman presented a sharp contrast to our shiny store with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves．Walking as if each step were painful，she slowly pushed open the glass door．She coughed dryly，breathing noisily with each breath．On a forty-degree night，she was wearing only a faded print dress，a thin sweater too small to button，and black slippers with the backs cut out to expose heels．There were no stockings or socks on her blue-veined legs．
After strolling around the store for several minutes，the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables．She picked up some corn niblets and stared with a strange intensity at the label．At that point，I decided to be a good employee and asked her if she needed help．As I stood close to her，my smile became harder to maintain； her red-rimmed eyes were partially closed by yellowish crusts； her hands were covered with layer upon layer of dirt，and the unpleasant smell of sweat rose in a thick vaporous cloud from her clothes．
"I need some food，"she muttered（嘟囔）in reply to my bright"Can I help you？"
"Are you looking for corn，ma'am？"
"I need some food，"she repeated．"Any kind．"
"Well，the corn is ninety-five cents，"I said in my most helpful voice．"Or，if you like，we have a special on bologna（大紅腸）today．"
"I can't pay，"she said．
For a second，I was tempted to say，"Take the corn．"But the employee rules flooded into my mind：Remain polite，but do not let customers get the best of you．Let them know that you are in control．For a moment，I even entertained the idea that this was some sort of test，and that this woman was someone from the head office，testing my loyalty．I responded dutifully，"I'm sorry，ma'am，but I can't give away anything for free．"
The old woman's face collapsed a bit more，if that were possible，and her hands trembled as she put the can back on the shelf．She shuffled（蹣跚）past me toward the door，her torn and dirty clothing barely covering her bent back．
Moments after she left，I rushed out the door with the can of corn，but she was nowhere in sight．For the rest of my shift，the image of the woman kept coming to my mind．I had been young，healthy．She had been old，sick and desperate．Wishing with all my heart that I had acted like a human being rather than a robot，I was saddened to realize how fragile a hold we have on our better instincts（本能，天性）．

55．What does the underlined world"shatter"in Paragraph 1probably meanB？
A．maintain．B．break．C．hold．D．lose．
56．Which is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 2C？

7．The federal school lunch program for 30 million low-income children was created more than half a century ago to combat malnutrition（營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良）．A breakfast program was added during the 1960s，and both attempted to improve the nutritional value of food served at school．
More must be done to fight the childhood obesity（肥胖） epidemic，which has caused a frightening peak in weight-related disorders like diabetes，high-blood pressure and heart disease among young people．The place to start is schools，where junk food sold outside the federal meals program-through snack bars and vending machines-has pretty much canceled out the benefits of all those efforts．
Federal rules that govern the sales of these harmful foods at school are limited and have not been updated for nearly 40 years．Until new regulations are written，children who are served healthy meals in the school cafeteria will continue to buy candy drinks and high sodium（鈉） snacks elsewhere in school．
Many states'school districts have taken positive steps，but others are likely to resist，especially districts that sell junk food to finance athletic program extracurricular activities，and even copier expenses．
Those districts should take note of a study released in 2009 in West Virginia showing that the budgetary costs of switching from sodas to healthy drinks such as fruit juice，milk，and water were very little．Even if the switch costs money，so be it．The school should not be trading their students'health to buy office supplies．
Over the last five decades，the obesity rates for adolescents have tripled．Unless there is decisive action，weight and inactivity-related disorders will bother a steady larger proportion of the work force and replace smoking as the leading cause of premature death．

32．According to this passage，Bare to blame for the childhood obesity．
   A．weight-related disorders               B．high calorie snacks
   C．parents'bad habits                    D．unhealthy lunches and breakfast
33．Which is the main idea of Paragraph 3？B
   A．Federal governments deserve high praise for their school lunch program．
   B．New regulations are badly in need of updating．
   C．Children should be forbidden to buy snacks in school．
   D．Federal rules encourage snacks outside the school program．
34．The passage is concerned mainly withC．
   A．Malnutrition in low-income children
   B．The federal school lunch program
   C．obesity at school
   D．the nutritional value of food served at school
35．The tone of this passage isA．
   A．negative          B．indifferent          C．optimistic         D．ironic．

4．To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies．No child imitates every action he sees．Sometimes，the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example．Therefore we must turn to a more subtle theory than"Monkey see，monkey do．"
Look at it from the child's point of view．Here he is in a new situation，lacking a ready response．He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends．If he lacks a ready response for the situation，and cannot reason out what to do，he observes a model who seems able to get the right result．The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do．?
There is a second element at work in this situation．The child may be able to attain his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him．When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message，he is told emphatically that such a racket（叫嚷） is unpleasant，that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly．Thus，the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly．One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response．Then other adults reward some actions and criticize others．If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect，he must adopt responses his social group approves．
In finding trial responses，the learner does not choose models at random．He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like，rather than a person whose social status he wishes to avoid．If the pupil wants to be a good violinist，he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players； while some other person may most influence his approach to books．?
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole，and he becomes an identifying figure．We use some people as models over a wide range of situations，imitating much that they do．We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success．

66．By the last sentence of the first paragraph，the authorC．
A．compares children's behaviors to monkey's
B．tells us that children do not learn by imitation
C．thinks it is partial to regard imitation as"Monkey see，monkey do．"
D．means that children should not learn by imitating their parents
67．The first element at work when a child learns by imitation isA．
A．the need to find a way to attain the desired goal
B．the desire to be acknowledged by his social group
C．the desire to find an expert and authority
D．the need to find a way to avoid criticism
68．According to the third paragraph，besides achieving his goals，a child should also learn toD．
A．a(chǎn)ttain his desired results as soon as possible
B．show his love for his parents and friends
C．talk in a low voice
D．behave properly
69．It can be inferred that children usually imitate peopleB．
A．who do not scold them
B．who they want to be like
C．who have a high social status
D．who give them many rewards
70．The last two paragraphs are mainly aboutC．
A．how children learn by imitation
B．the motive of children's imitation
C．how children choose models
D．how imitation influence children's growth．

College will be the most important years in your life．It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about．You often question"what good is this course"．I encourage you to be inquisitive，but I also want to tell you："Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten．"What I mean by that is the material taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject，and the ability to analyze a new problem．That is really what learning in college is about-this will be the period where you go from teachertaught to masterinspired，after which you must become selflearner．
Do not fall into the trap of dogma（教條）．There is no single simple answer to any question．Remember during your high school debate class，I always asked you to take on the side that you don't believe in？I did that for a reason-things rarely"black and white"，and there are always many ways to look at a problem．You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that．This is called"critical thinking"，and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life．This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others．I will always remember when I went to my Ph．D．a(chǎn)dvisor and proposed a new thesis topic，he said"I don't agree with you，but I'll support you．"

Most importantly，make friends and be happy．College friends are often the best in life，because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family．Also，going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience．
Bonne chance，my angel and princess．May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life．

20．Early one morning，more than a hundred years ago，an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep．He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem：It seemed impossible to get the thread to run around the needle without any problems．
Though he was tired，Howe slept badlyHe turned and turned．Then he had a dream．He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine．When he tried to do so，Howe ran into the same problem as before．The thread kept getting caught around the needle．The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe．They came up towards him with their spears raised．But suddenly the inventor noticed something．There was a hole in the tip of each spear．The inventor awoke from the dream，realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem．Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle，he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle．This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine．
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way．Thomas Edison，the inventor of the electric light，said his best ideas came into him in dreams．So did the great physicist Albert Einstein．Charlotte Brone also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre．
To know the value of dreams，you have to understand what happens when you are asleep．Even then，a part of your mind is still working．This unconscious（無(wú)意識(shí)的），but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day．It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed．It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake．However，the unconscious par acts in a special way．It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first．This is why dreams are sometimes called"secret messages to us"．

21．The problem Howe was trying to solve wasD．
A．what kind of thread to use
B．how to design a needle which would not break
C．where to put the needle
D．how to stop the thread from getting caught around the needle
22．Thomas Edison is spokenof becauseB．
A．he also tried to invent a sewing machine  
B．he got some of his ideas from dreams
C．he was one of Howe's best friends        
D．he also had difficulty in falling asleep
23．Dreams are sometimes called"secret messages to ourselves"becauseA．
A．strange images are used to communicate ideas
B．images which have no meaning are used
C．we can never understand the real meaning
D．only specially trained people can understand them．
