3.Artificial intelligence keeps defeating human,it is making countless victories against human in different fields of life and trying to push human to the corner.
Google's DeepMind has defeated the world's number one player Ke Jie.Human brain somehow has been replaced by a machine and scientists are working very hard on developing a human brain by implanting a chip and connecting it to the thick neuron that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.Well,who doesn't want to get his brain upgraded to be as smart as the brain of Albert Einstein or Charles Darwin?
Humans will probably one day invent a brain that can be implanted in the human skull and reprogram all the human thoughts,but his invention doesn't seems to be happening in the foreseeable future since human brain took millions of years to evolve.Some scientists believe that human will defeat death in the next twenty hundred years but they can't really predict how long it's going to take to develop a human brain that can completely replace the natural brain.
Despite of this accomplishment in the field of artificial intelligence,it couldn't crease people from believing that science can't stand alone.For instance,AI can imitate human brain and most of the time outperforms it,but there are still a lot of hidden secrets.AI outsmarted Ke Jie has consciousness unlike the AI,Ke Jie felt sad when he was defeated and buried his face in his hands but the AI didn't feel happy and celebrate his victory.
The computer of 1960 is the same as the computer of 2017 in terms of consciousness,there is no signs so far telling us that there is an algorithm(運算)that can make a conscious computer and decipher(譯解)its feelings.We can predict what the future will look like according to the past,especially from scientific point of view but the development of human brain seems unpredictable and unknown.

32.What is the possible meaning of the underlined word"neuron"in Para.2?B
A.the tube through which blood flows in your brain
B.the kind of cell that carries information
C.the soft fatty substance in the hollow center of bones
D.the bony part of one's head which encloses his/her brain
33.What is Paragraph 3mainly about?D
A.It took millions of years for human brain to evolve
B.Humans wish to get their brains upgraded to be as smart as possible
C.Humans will probably invent a brain that can reprogram all the human thoughts.
D.It is hard to develop a human brain that can completely replace the natural brain
34."Ke Jie felt sad when he was defeated"is mentioned in Para.4toA.
A.show that the AI has no human emotions
B.explain that AlphaGo is virtually unbeatable in the board game
C.tell us the accomplishment in the field of artificial intelligence
D.a(chǎn)nalyze Ke Jie's psychological characteristics when playing the game
35.What can be the best title for the passage?C
A.World Top Go Player Ke Jie Challenges AlphaGo
B.AlphaGo Teaches To use AI To benefit Humans
C.Google AI Defeats Human Go Champion
D.AI Can Imitate Human Brain And Most Of the Time Outperforms It.

分析 這是一篇說明文,講述了人工智能在生活的各個領(lǐng)域擊敗人類,取得了無數(shù)的勝利,但這并不能說明人工智能可以取代大腦.盡管在人工智能領(lǐng)域取得了成就,但它不能使人們相信科學(xué)不能獨立存在,而且從科學(xué)的角度來看,人腦的發(fā)展似乎是不可預(yù)測和未知的.并通過谷歌的DeepMind擊敗了世界頭號選手Ke Jie為例闡明了人工智能并不能完全取代大腦的論點.

解答 32.B詞義猜測題.由第二段中的"developing a human brain by implanting a chip and connecting it to the thick neuron that connects the two hemispheres of the brain."可知科學(xué)家正努力嘗試通過植入一塊芯片并將其連接到大腦兩個半球的…上來開發(fā)人腦,連接兩個半球的一般是指某種可以攜帶信息來刺激大腦做出反應(yīng)的物質(zhì),可推斷出neuron指的是某種可以攜帶信息的神經(jīng)元,故選B
33.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第三段Some scientists believe that human will defeat death in the next twenty hundred years but they can't really predict how long it's going to take to develop a human brain that can completely replace the natural brain.,有一天人類可能發(fā)明一種可以植入人類骨頭和改變?nèi)祟愃枷氲拇竽X,但他的發(fā)明不可能發(fā)生在可預(yù)見的未來,因為人類是經(jīng)過幾百萬年的進(jìn)化演變而來的,故可知第三段主要談?wù)摰氖前l(fā)展一個可以完全取代自然大腦的人腦是困難的,故選D.
34.A推理判斷題.由第四段中的"Ke Jie felt sad when he was defeated and buried his face in his hands but the AI didn't feel happy and celebrate his victory."可知,當(dāng)Ke Jie被擊敗,雙手捂著臉感到悲傷時,AI沒有感到高興,也沒有慶祝他的勝利,由此可推斷出AI沒有人類的情感,故選A.
35.C主旨大意題.本文主要圍繞著谷歌的DeepMind擊敗了世界頭號選手Ke Jie的主題,開展了人工智能與大腦之間是否可以相互取代的話題,從不同方面說明了即使人工智能在許多領(lǐng)域戰(zhàn)勝人腦,但它不能完全的取代大腦,故可知本文的最好標(biāo)題是Google AI Defeats Human Go Champion,谷歌的AI戰(zhàn)勝人類取得勝利.故選C.

點評 本文是一個科技類閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

20.Once,when I was a teenager,my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (馬戲).Finally,there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
   This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children,all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.
   Their clothes were not expensive,but they were clean.The children were well-behaved,all of them standing in line,two-by-two behind their parents,holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns,elephants,and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
   One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be highlight of their young lives.The father and mother were at the head of the pack,standing proud as could be.The mother was holding her husband's hand,looking up at him as if to say,"You are my knight in shining armor."
   He was smiling and responding in pride,looking back at her as if to say,"You got that right."The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded,"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."
   The ticket lady gave the price.The man's wife let go of his hand,her head dropped,and his lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked,"How much did you say?"
   The ticket lady again quoted the price.The man didn't have enough money.
   How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus?
   Actually we were not wealthy in any sense.So I understand how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.

Seeing what was going on,my dad put his hand in his pocket,pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.Then he picked it op and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,"Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.'The man turned around and saw the money.He knew what was going on,he looked straight into my dad's eyes,took my dad's hand in both of his,squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill,and with his lip shakingand a tear running down his cheek,he replied,"Thank you,thank you,sir.This really means a lot to me and my family."
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets.We didn't go to the circus that night,when I asked dad why he did so,Dad said,"My child,it was a desperate,heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father.Surely he wasn't begging for a handout,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young."He paused for a while,as if wandering in his memory."We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others.We didn't go to the circus tonight,but we didn't go without.".

11.Vitamin B could help reduce the effects of the dangerous type of air pollution,according to a new study published on Monday.In the first study of its kind,a team of international researchers looked into the damage caused by one of the pollutants that have the severest impact on health-PM2.5.
They found that Vitamin B supplement could effectively reduce the impact of the tiny particles (顆粒)on the human body,although they stressed that the research was in its early stages.According to the WHO,92% of the world's people are living in places where the PM2.5 level goes beyond the recommended level.So it's urgent to find a solution to the problem.
According to this study,published in the PNAS,10 volunteers were initially exposed to clean air and given a placebo (安慰劑)to check their baseline responses.The group then kept on taking placebos tor tour weeks before being exposed to heavily polluted air from downtown Toronto,where an estimated 1,000cars passed every hour.The bad air was delivered to the volunteers through an"oxygen type"face mask.The experiment was then repeated,with each volunteer taking a Vitamin B supplement daily,made up of 2.5mg of folic acid,50mg of Vitamin B6,and l mg of Vitamin B12.
Vitamin B6can be found in liver,chicken,nuts and other things,and Vitamin B12 in fish,meat,eggs,milk and some cereals.The researchers found that four weeks of Vitamin B supplements-the damage of PM2.5effects by 28-76%.The results emphasized how prevention at an individual level could be used to fight against the damage of PM2.5,the researchers said.

29.What's the newly discovered effect of Vitamin B in Paragraph 1?C
A.It can be used to replace other vitamins in our daily life.
B.It can help lower the air pollution level in the open air.
C.It can reduce the impact of PM2.5on human bodies.
D.It can get rid of the pollutants remaining in our body.
30.What can be learned from the second paragraph?A
A.Further study about the effect of Vitamin B needs to be done.
B.Vitamin B is the most important to human's health.
C.The tiny particles in the air are made up of PM2.5.
D.92% of the world's people are affected by PM2.5.
31.How did researchers draw the new conclusion about Vitamin B?B
A.By referring to a journal.
B.By performing experiments.
C.By interviewing scientists.
D.By comparing vitamins.
32.You may read the passage on a website aboutD.
A.environment

18.Americans always attach great weight to the business of the country.President Coolidge's statement,"the business of America is business." Still points to an important truth today---that business institutions have more prestige(威望)in American society than any other kind of organization,including the government.Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?
One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society.Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans,competitive business institutions are respected.Competition is not only good in itself,it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom,equality of opportunity,and hard work are protected
Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (壟斷、壟斷者)of power.In contrast to one,all-powerful government,many businesses compete against each other for profits.Theoretically,if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers,it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly.Where many businesses compete for the customers'dollar,they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors(下屬)or slaves.
A contrast is often made between business,which is competitive,and government,which is a monopoly.Because is competitive,many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government,even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not.Many Americans believes,then,that competition is as important,or even more important,than democracy in preserving freedom
Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity.Competition is seen as an open and fair where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background.Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternation to social rank based on family background.Business is therefore world as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity in America rather than the aristocratic(貴族的)idea of inherited privilege in many other countries

32.The statement"The business of America is business"probably means"C"
A.the business institutions in American are concerned with commerce(商業(yè))
B.business problems are of great importance to the American government
C.business is of primary concern to Americans
D.America is a great power in world business
33.Who can benefit from the business competition?C
A.Honest businessmen
B.People with ideas of equality and freedom
C.Both businessmen and their customers
D.Both business institutions and government
34.Government is believed to differ unusually from business because government is characterized byA.
A.its absolute control of power
B.its function in preserving personal freedom
C.its role in protecting basic American values
D.its democratic way of exercising leadership
35.It can be concluded from the passage that the author believesB.
A.Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries
B.in many countries,success often depends on one's social status
C.American businesses are more democratic(民主的)than those in other countries
D.businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America.

Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him,but shed didn't want to run after him.jenny bent down quickly,picked up the watch and ran home.On arriving home,Jenny put it on almost without thinking.She was surprised it fitted so well.She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech.Words just flooded out of her."I'm going to talk about swimming.I have been lucky.I've won lots of competitions.But when I'm in a race,I'm not really thinking about winning.I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water…"Jenny laughed with excitement.She walked across the room.She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence.Turning back to the mirror,Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass.The flashes of silver seemed almost magical.So maybe Lee's watch Lee's watch really DID have something magic about it.
The next day,as the lesson began,Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first.Nobody moved.Jenny slowly raised her arm.Before Miss Walker could say anything,there was a shout from behind."She's stolen my watch!"Lee said angrily,"It went missing at school yesterday."
