To raise questions． B. To introduce the topic． C. To interest readers． D. To solve problems．‎ ‎22.The earliest Mother's Day was celebrated to ______ ．‎ A. mark the birth of Greece B. prepare for the autumn harvest C. honour the Mother of Gods D. honour the mothers of England ‎23.The fourth and fifth paragraphs mainly talk about ______ ．‎ A. the feast of Mother's Day in the U．S． B. the origin of Mother's Day in the U．S． C. the development of Mother's Day in the U．S． D. the celebration of Mother's Day in the U．S．‎ ‎24The passage is intended to ______ ．‎ A. give readers some information B. persuade readers C. report a story D. amuse readers B Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for companies to monitor workers’ behavior in great detail and in real time. Start to slack off (懈怠), and AI could talk to your boss. ‎ One company offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card. From this, it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance. The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns. “All of this gives us fingerprint of a user, so if we think the fingerprint doesn’t match, we raise a warning”, says Mircea Dumitrescu, the company’s chief technology officer.‎ The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞), like opening malware (恶意软件).“We’re not monitoring if your computer has a virus.” says Dumitrescu. “We’re monitoring human behaviors.”‎ But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone, and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity. “It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to old-fashioned workplace surveillance (监视),” says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group. “You have a right to privacy and you shouldn’t be expected to give that up at work.”‎ Exactly how companies use the system will be up to them, but it’s hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees’ shoulders. “It will bother people, and that could be counterproductive if it affects their behavior,” says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia.‎ Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk. “If people know they’re being monitored, they can change their behavior,” he says.‎ ‎25.According to the text, AI monitors employees by ________.‎ A. taking pictures of them B. getting access to their data C. signaling their usual performance D. catching their actions ‎26.What’s Javier Ruiz Diaz’s attitude towards the system?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Uncaring. D. Negative.‎ ‎27.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. Security breach. B. Employees’ productivity. C. The right to privacy. D. Workplace surveillance.‎ ‎28.Phil Legg’s concern about the system suggests that ________.‎ A. it is too risky to be used at work B. it will affect employees’ emotions C. it may not be so effective as expected D. it will encourage employee, productivity C Dear Alcohol， ‎ You’ve been around forever. I can remember all the pain you’ve caused me.‎ Do you remember the night when you almost took my father’s life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He’s addicted to you，to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street，crashing into two other cars. He wasn’t the only one badly hurt by you that night.‎ Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I’m so embarrassed,” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I’m sorry,” they said when I called taxis for them，walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won’t happen again,” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped.Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.‎ Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lesson? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head-on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning, too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn’t realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.‎ I wish you’d walk out of my life forever. I don’t want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you’ve caused. Sure, you’ve made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you’ve caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop hurting me, please!‎ ‎ Sincerely，‎ Me ‎29.What did Alcohol do to the author’s father that night?‎ A. It made him drunk and took his life away. B.
