But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot.‎ ‎ Xiaoice, Microsoft’s latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, the New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.‎ ‎ “Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice,” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis (表情符号) in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.‎ Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBM’s latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia’s Deakin University, answering students’ questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.‎ ‎ These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms, the New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a “Samantha”, the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha sparks a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates.‎ ‎21.

Which company’s chatbot program can act as an academic consultant?‎ ‎ A. Microsoft. B. IBM. C. Apple. D. Amazon.‎ ‎24. What can be learned from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Chatbots mainly run on smartphones now.‎ ‎ B. It’ll take decades to apply chatbots to cars.‎ ‎ C. Samantha is played by a US actor in the film.‎ D. The film Her doesn’t interest many audience. ‎ B Basic Study Manual Hardcover: $37.50‎ Future success depends on the ability to learn.

She didn’t expect to be chased off the course.‎ At the time, women weren’t officially allowed to enter the race. To be accepted, Switzer signed up with her initials as “K. V. Switzer.” On race day, though, in lipstick and earrings, she took her place at the starting line.‎ Switzer was at mile two when race manager, John Semple, ran up and tried to get her off the course, yelling, “Get the hell out of my race!” But with her boyfriend knocking Semple back, she fended off the official and finished in four hours and twenty minutes.‎ To mark the 50th anniversary of her barrier-breaking run, Switzer, now 70, plans to repeat the 26.2-mile journey this month.‎ In the race, Switzer will wear the number 261, the same one she wore 50 years ago. In her honor, the Boston Marathon will leave the number out in future races.‎ Switzer has 39 marathons under her belt, including coming in first in New York in 1974 and running in the Olympics in 1984. The last time she finished one in Boston was in 1976, two years after successfully campaigning to let women officially enter it.‎ Her number might not show up in the Boston Marathon again, but Switzer’s movement goes beyond letting women enter that race. Founding a nonprofit international women’s running club, Switzer chose the name 261 Fearless.‎ ‎“My goal is to reach women in places right now where they’re not allowed to leave the house alone, drive a car or get an education,” Switzer told CBS Boston. “If running can give them a sense of strength, where they are no longer victims and vulnerable, that’s what I hope it can do.”‎ 28. How did Kathrine Switzer enter the Boston Marathon in 1967?‎ A. By dressing up as a male.‎ B. By signing up with her initials.‎ C. By yelling at the race manager. ‎ D. By chasing another runner off the course.‎ 29. What was John Semple’s attitude towards Switzer running the Marathon?‎ A. He was in favor of it. ‎ B. He tried to get her out of the competition. ‎ C. He unwillingly allowed her to finish her running.‎ D. He thought Kathrine should get official approval first. ‎ 30. Concerning the number 261, which of the following is right?‎ A. A running club was named after it. ‎ B. The number will be reserved for Boston Marathon.‎ C. Switzer wore the number in all her Marathon races.‎ D. The Boston Marathon will honor the number in future races. ‎ 31. What’s Switzer goal in founding an international women’s running club?‎ A. To make profit. ‎ B. To honor her first Marathon. ‎ C. To train more women for Marathon. ‎ D. To encourage women to win equal rights.‎ D ‎ Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.‎ ‎ The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.‎ I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money. ‎ ‎ What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming (声明) the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.‎ Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection, people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today’s overused technology.‎ ‎32. The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.‎ A. advantage B. attraction C. adaption D. attempt ‎33. From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.‎ A. attract people to buy their products ‎ B. provide the latest information C. improve people’s quality of life ‎ D. deal with cultural diseases ‎34. It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.‎ A. consider too much technology wonderful B. have realized the harm of high-tech devices C. can regain freedom without high-tech devices ‎ D. may enjoy life better without overused technology ‎ ‎35. What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?‎ A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.‎ 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Effective time management is the primary means to a less stressful life. High school, especially during your senior year, can be frustrating（令人沮丧）. This is the time of your life when you are preparing yourself for college and the real world. 36 ‎ l Plan each day.‎ Planning your day can help you accomplish more and feel more in control of your life. Write a to-do list, putting the most important tasks at the top. 37 ‎ l Prioritize (按重要性排列) your weekly schedule as a student.‎ Prioritizing tasks will ensure that you spend your time and energy on those that are truly important to you. 38 Friends will want to hang out with you on the weekends, but they will understand if you explain to them that you need to study or catch up on college-related work.‎ l ‎ 39 ‎ Keep a diary of everything you do for three days to determine how you are spending your time. Look for time that can be used more wisely. For example, if you take a bus to school, you can use the time to catch up on reading.
