22、Machine learning sees reasoning as a categorization task with a fixed set of predetermined labels. It views the world as a fixed space of possibilities, calculating and weighing them all. This approach, of course, has achieved notable successes when applied to stable and well-defined situations such as chess or computer games. When such conditions are absent, however, machines struggle.

In 2008, Google launched Flu Trends, a web service that aimed to predict flu-related doctor visits using big data. The project, however, failed to predict the 2009 HINI flu outbreak. After several unsuccessful adjustments to its algorithm (算法), Google finally stopped the project in2015.

In such unstable situations, the human brain behaves differently. Sometimes, it simply forgets. Instead of getting trapped in irrelevant data, it relies only on the most recent information and makes creative decisions. This is a feature called intelligent forgetting. Adopting this approach, an algorithm that relies on a single data point would have reduced Google Flu Trends' prediction error by half.

Intelligent forgetting is just one dimension of psychological AI, an approach to machine intelligence that also includes other features of human intelligence such as causal reasoning, intuitive (直觉) psychology, and physics. Soon, this approach to Al will finally be recognized as fundamental for solving poorly-defined problems. Exploring these amazing features of the human brain will finally allow us to make machine learning smart.

One feature of psychological Al is that it is explainable. Until recently, researchers assumed that the more transparent an AI system was, the less accurate its predictions were. This mirrored the widespread but incorrect belief that complex problems always need complex solutions. Now, this idea will be laid to rest. As the case of flu predictions illustrates, powerful and simple psychological algorithms can often give more accurate predictions than complex algorithms. Psychological AI opens up a new vision for explainable AI: Instead of trying to explain complex systems, we can check first if psychological Al offers a simple and equally accurate solution.

Without the help of human psychology, it will become clearer that the application of this type of machine learning to unstable situations eventually runs up against impassable limitations. We will finally recognize that more computing power makes machines faster. Not smarter.

23、A typical lion tamer(驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭) and a chair.The whip gets all of the attention,but it’s mostly for show.In reality,it’s the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.

How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion?How often do you have something you want to achieve(e.g.lose weight,start a business,travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?

This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best,the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.

It doesn’t have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this:All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish,someone you want to become...take immediate action.If you’re clear about where you want to go,the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

【1】Why does the lion tamer use a chair?

A. To trick the lion.   B. To show off his skills.

C. To get ready for a fight.   D. To entertain the audience.

【2】In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?

A. They feel puzzled over choices.

B. They hold on to the wrong things.

C. They find it hard to make changes.

D. They have to do something for show.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. Tolerant.   B. Doubtful.

C. Respectful.   D. Supportive.

【4】When the world is “waving a chair in your face”,you’re advised to 　　　.

A. wait for a better chance   B. break your old habits

C. make a quick decision   D. ask for clear guidance

24、Small talk has a reputation for being uninteresting, and for good reason. Pointing out the fact that it's raining seems as ridiculous as pointing out the fact that you have a head — you're fully aware of both things, and don't require an outsider to confirm them. But despite being evident and often painfully dull, small talk has an important role to fulfill, enabling us to leap over a number of social obstacles towards improved, meaningful interaction.

Humans can be sensitive souls. We each have our boundaries and lists of potential upsets, which when broken, cause us to either gently back away to an alternative position in the room, or become cross at the person. Small talk is first a way to test the waters with an unfamiliar person, so that you may better understand their personality. When finding yourself positioned closely to a person who you know little about, it's much safer to point out the rainy sky than to share your political views on a sensitive topic. Until you know the person better, heavier topics should probably be kept under wraps, so you won't find yourself on the receiving end of a cold stare.

Though insignificant, small talk still has great power. When talking with fellow humans, much of our soul is exposed through non-verbal communication. A response to “how was your weekend” can unveil much about the person's character. The length of their response might indicate their level of self-confidence; the tone of speaking might show how agreeable a person is; their slightly lowered head, as if protecting themselves from attack, a possible sign of a regrettable history of bullying.

As more of a person's character is revealed, we have the insight needed to determine whether to put forward more significant topics—the things that we actually want to talk about. Conversation is a great educator, and deep conversation establish lasting bonds with our fellow humans, forming precious friendships that paint our lives with vivid colors. Such friendships begin with small talk.

【1】What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The first stage of human interaction.

B．Ridiculous human behavior in communication.

C．Absence of communication between strangers.

D．The difficulty of having deep conversations.

【2】Why do people find themselves “on the receiving end of a cold stare”?

A．Because they talk to an unfamiliar person.

B．Because they are enthusiastic about politics.

C．Because they are too sensitive about topics.

D．Because they fail to manage interpersonal distance.

【3】What might be a sign of friendliness according to paragraph 3?

A．The length of the answer.

B．The quality of the voice.

C．The position of the head.

D．The distance between speakers.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A．Sensitive Human Souls.

B．Ways of Understanding Personality.

C．Significance of Small Talk.

D．Challenges of Deep Conversation.

26、Directions:Write an English composition in 100-120 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.

请你谈谈读了以下报道后的感想。

（英国《每日电讯报》网站报道）题：推特(Twitter)和脸谱网(Facebook) “有害儿童发展”。据称，在早期过度沉溺于网络世界后，青少年的大脑将不能得到适当发展。牛津大学药理学教授格林菲尔德说，与人实际接触减少意味着孩子们难于形成基本的社交技巧和情绪反应。她批评某些用户“不健康地”沉溺于推特网，称他们在网络的掩护下情绪日趋冲动易怒。就在格林菲尔德发表这番言论前一天，教师们警告，过度沉溺于高科技产品正在损害孩子们在课堂上集中注意力的能力。中学语文教师的一次调查发现，超过四分之三的教师认为，如今，学生的注意力持续时间短于以往任何时候。格林菲尔德援引的一些数据显示，如今，超过一半的13岁至17岁孩子每周花在电子游戏机、计算机、电子书、手机和其他以显示屏为基础的高科技产品上的时间超过30小时。
