The question swept the world last week when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player , South Korean Lee Se-dol , 4 -1 . So , what comes next ? Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence , or AI in short , will be a bad thing for humans . In an interview with the BBC in 2014 , UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “The development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race .” So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies ? “ Not quite ,” answered The Economist . After all , it’s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations . “ We think that , for the human being , things like sight and balance(视觉平衡) , are natural and ordinary in our life .” Thomas Edison , founder of Motion Figures , a company that is bringing AI to boys , told the newspaper . “But for a robot , to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second , and it’s really difficult to do .” As The Economist put it , “ We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain , even though the technology can be great .” Meanwhile , John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective . “ Our fate is in our own hands ,” he wrote . “ Since technology depends on the values of its creators , we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world .” 21. What was the result of the match ? A. Lee So-dol won AlphaGo 4-1 . B. Lee So-dol was defeated . C. Google program beat AlphaGo . D. Neither side won the match . 22. What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks ? A. It’s very hard for AI to beat the human brain. B. AI would take the place of human beings. C. AI can make various decisions quickly. D. AI does better than humans in sight and balance . 23. Who believes much has to be done to improve AI ? A. Stephen Hawking . B. John Markoff . C. The New York Times. D. The Economist . 24. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply ? A. AI will improve the world completely . B. AI is in the control of human beings. C. AI may bring disasters to human beings. D. AI will make our future out of control . B No one can deny that buttons are an important clothing device. But , can they rise to the level of art ? Organizers of an exhibit in New York City think so . Peter Souleo Wright organized “ The Button Show ” at Rush Arts Gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan . Eleven artists used the small , ordinary objects to create sculptures , portraits and wearable art . Some of the works are political , some are personal and others are just fun . Wright said each artist reimagines and repurposes the buttons to make art . “ What I tried to do with this show ,” he said , “ was to look at artists who were promoting that level of craft .” He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting “ because of the amount of detail and precision in the work.” Artist Beau McCall produced “A Harlem Hangover”. It looks like a wine bottle that fell over on a table . A stream of connected red buttons hand over the side , like wine flowing down . Similar red button form a small pool on the floor. McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to create the bottle. The stitching that holds them together is also part of the artistic design . For San Francisco-based artist Lisa Kokin , buttons are highly personal . After her father died in 2001 , she created a portrait of him using only buttons. That memorial to her father led to other button portraits, including those of activists Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez. Others use buttons for details. Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa , Alabama , placed them on and around old photographs. Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attached buttons to three large sculptures that look like headless animals with long , narrow legs. “ The Button Show” ends at March 12 . The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation paid for the exhibition . The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers : artist Danny , hip-hop producer Russell and rapper Rev. Run. The foundation seeks to bring the arts to urban youth and to provide support for new artists. 25. Why did Wright organize “ The Button Show” ? A. To show the importance of buttons . B. To support the new artists. C. To raise the button show to the level of art. D. To create sculptures and portraits . 26. Whose works are personal ? A. Peter Souleo Wright . B. Beau McCall . C. Lisa Kokin . D. Amalia Amaki . 27. If you want to see “ The Button Show” , you should __________ . A. buy tickets before March 12 B. phone Peter Souleo Wright before March 12 C. go to Rush Arts Gallery D. go to the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation C A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport. According to the results of an international passenger survey , Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch, compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits. The Airline Passenger Experience Association ( APEX) spoke to around 1500 people, aged 18 and older , who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan , China , Singapore , Australia or Brazil. The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the sea-belt sign switches off. They are also the first to reach for their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming. Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively ---when not drinking ---choosing to work while flying a 350000 feet . Meanwhile , Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers --- spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality. Comparatively , Brazilians conduct their conversations online via e-mail , messaging apps or social media. Despite plane food having a bad reputation , seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection in-flight snacks and meals . In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers claiming to read them . The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flight entertainment . “The industry has greatly improved the comfort , entertainment and onboard service , and passengers are accepting those improvements ,” said Russell Lemieux , APEX executive director . “At the same time , passengers are demanding more from their air travel experiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey ,” he added . 28. What can you probably see the flight according to the passage ? A. Brazilians choose to drink . B. Germans chat to kill their time. C. Americans do in-flight shopping. D. The Chinese switch off the seat-belt sign. 29. When on board the plane , _________ . A. most passengers like to read in-flight magazines B. passengers from one nation have little in common C. more than half of the passengers don’t enjoy plane food D. most people tend to use in-flight time to have a good sleep 30. What can we learn from the last paragraph ? A. Flyers care little about entertainment . B. Flyers are expecting better flight experience . C. Flyers are not satisfied with the improvement. D. Flyers have more and more demands from airlines. 31. What’s the purpose of the passage ? A. To entertain readers with interesting stories. B. To encourage people to behave well in public. C. To criticize impolite behaviours on the plane. D. To inform readers of the results of a survey . D Known for its historic stone paths and traffic-jammed streets , France forgoes(放弃)traditional bricks and pavement for shiny solar panels(嵌板)with its new roadway project . French officials announced plans to construct a 1,000-kilometer-long solar roadway , with each kilometer capable of providing enough cheap , renewable energy to power 5,000 homes . “ The maximum effect of the program , if successful , could be to furnish 5 million people with electricity , or about 8 percent of the French population ,” Segolence Royal , France’s minister of ecology and energy , said at a conference , reports Global Construction Review . The street --- or “ Wattway ”---was made possible through the cooperation between the National Institute of Solar Energy and French civil engineering firm Colas . Tests for the road will begin in the spring . The entire project will take an estimated five years to complete , but builders won’t have to destroy existing roads in the meantime . Only about a quarter of an inch thick , the solar panels can simply be glued on top of existing streets and are durable(耐用的)enough to bear heavy traffic and weather conditions . Despite the bad traffic Parisians associate with their journey to work every day , the average French roadway is packed for only 10 percent of the day , according to Colas’ figures . That will leave the solar street with the majority of the day to gather energy from the sun , which makes the project quite promising . The panels collect solar power through a thin layer of polycrystalline silicon(多晶硅)and change it into electricity . Electrical connections can be put into existing traffic structures . France won’t be the first country to roll out a solar road . A 70-meter solar bike path was set up in the Netherlands in 2014 . Within six months , the path had created enough to power a house for an entire year . 32. Why did France build Wattway ? A. To find a cheaper way of road construction . B. To provide electricity for home use . C. To produce power for passing cars . D. To improve traffic conditions . 33. What is special about the solar panels of Wattway ? A. They can be recycled easily . B. They are made of cheap materials . C. They can be laid on top of present roads . D. They are so thick as to bear heavy traffic . 34. Where can you find the reason the solar road can collect energy most of the time ? A. In Paragraph 1 . B. In Paragraph 2 . C. In Paragraph 3 . D. In Paragraph 4 . 35. Why does the author mention the bike path in the Netherlands ? A. To stress the importance of saving energy . B. To point out a new technology in road-building . C. To give credit to the government of the Netherlands . D. To give another successful example of a solar road . 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you can’t lay your hands on items you need because they’re buried under piles of junk , if you’re constantly moving items from one pile to a new temporary pile , if you find yourself thinking , “can’t throw this away . 36 ,” you’re probably a clutter(杂七杂八的东西)victim . If you’re ready to de-clutter, then we have a few simple tips . 1. Choose a nice day and take the room contents outside . Psychologically it’s easier to sort and let go if you’re one step removed . It’s also less likely that the clutter will make it back inside . 37 . Classify them as dump(丢弃), donate and keep . Be realistic : if the item in question hasn’t been used for over a year it is unlikely you will ever use it . Deal with the dump and donate piles . Do this before anything comes back into the house . It’s much harder to mess up your good work if the stuff is physically gone . 2. 38 .Make sure there is one temporary box to house items which really belong in another room . As each room is sorted , those items can be replaced , and other misplaced items can be housed there while the de-cluttering process continues . 3. Replace everything that remains . Keep small items in clear plastic boxes and store them in cupboards . 39 . It will make you think twice about acquiring something if you know something else must go . 4. Once a week , take two bags and go through your home . 40 . When you’ve finished , throw the rubbish away and replace the misplaced items . Follow these small steps and you too can de-clutter your life . A. Sometimes , it’s good to let go B. Sort everything into three piles C. It might come in useful one day D. Stick with that particular room until it’s finished E. Place the remaining items in clearly labeled boxes F. One bag is for rubbish , the other for items in the wrong place G. When you’re done , stick to a “one thing in , one thing out” rule 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共三节,满分55分) 第一节 完形填空 (共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors .
