21、ARNOLD Schwarzenegger is back, once again taking on his iconic killer robot role, the T-800, in August’s new movie Terminator Genisys. While the T-800 model—even if it can be evil—has a fond place in moviegoers’ hearts, the reality of autonomous machines is no joke, according to scientists.

Autonomous weapons use artificial intelligence (AI) to choose targets without human help. They were described as “the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms” in an open letter signed by over 1,000 important technology figures in July. The list included British scientist Stephen Hawking and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. They asked governments around the world to ban autonomous weapons, warning that killer robots could start ethnic cleansings and an arms race.

“They will look like tanks. They will look like battleships. They will look like jet fighters,” UK robotics professor Noel Sharkey told CNET, a leading technology website.

But unlike these machines, which require a human hand in their action, so-called “killer robots” would have some decision-making abilities and the ability to act on their own.

“If any major military power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is almost inevitable,” said the letter released at the 2015 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The idea of an automated killing machine was made famous by Schwarzenegger’s first Terminator movie in 1984. While no red-eyed robots have been sent after human beings, the idea of AI being used as a weapon has gotten much more likely in the years ever since. The US military is already developing autonomous flying vehicles that can carry out all the steps of a strike mission without a human controlling them, according to a May report in Nature magazine.

Scientists have even painted a destructive picture of autonomous weapons falling into the hands of terrorists or warlords hoping to carry out ethnic cleansings.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” Hawking said to the BBC in 2016.

Authorities are gradually waking up to the risk of robot wars. Last May, for the first time, the United Nations brought governments together to begin talks on autonomous weapons systems.

Still, a ban on autonomous weapons is “easier said than done”, commented The Guardian. The dual (双重的) uses of the AI technology—for harm and for good—is difficult to manage. This is because the exact same technology can be used in a wide range of ways, the paper said.

【1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

A. To analyze why the T-800 model appeals to moviegoers.

B. To promote Schwarzenegger’s new movie Terminator Genisys.

C. To explore the development and impact of autonomous machines.

D. To show that the technology shown in science fiction can become a reality.

【2】What is the unique characteristic of autonomous weapons?

A. They are able to select targets very quickly and accurately.

B. They are driven by artificial intelligence instead of humans.

C. They are killing machines more powerful than tanks and battleships.

D. They are red-eyed robots able to carry out all kinds of strike missions.

【3】The underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A. to be expected   B. to be improved

C. to be prevented   D. to be controlled

【4】What is scientists’ attitude toward autonomous weapons?

A. They could be used to fight against terrorists in the future.

B. Their decision-making abilities should be further developed.

C. They could bring a huge disaster to the human race if they are not banned.

D. They should replace gunpowder and nuclear arms in future wars.

22、Some say you can tell a lot about a person by the way they decorate their homes. There is no denying that the way we decorate our homes is very personal. And while many of us have plenty of options, there are always people who go that little bit further. So, when it comes to minimalism and maximalism, which one appeals to you more?

Minimalism was an art movement that started in the 1950s. Its basic principles come from a concept of less is more, reducing things to their most basic. Some people took that art style and used it as a way of living. Their houses are usually decorated in simple colors, often just black and white. For some, especially maximalists, it may seem a bit boring or depressing. However, living in this way is seen by many as more organized and practical.

Maximalism started in the 1970s. It embraces the core ideals that “more is more”. While minimalism centres around the principle of removing, if it’s easy to imagine that a maximalists’ home is piled with items—but that’s not the basic idea. It's more about making the most of the area. Organized excess and bright colors combined with mixed patterns is what you will see in a home like this. For a minimalist, being used to more simple designs, it could be uneasy. But for those who embrace it, those things give a space personality.

The way you have your home is up to you! But, if you choose maximalism, you may need to prepare for a bit more dusting.

【1】What may maximalists think of minimalists’ lifestyle?

A．Simple.

B．Practical.

C．Colorful.

D．Dull.

【2】What can be learned about maximalism?

A．It was an art movement at first.

B．It is criticized for wasting resources.

C．It focuses on using the space fully.

D．It dates back to as early as the 1950s.

【3】How is the text mainly developed?

A．By analyzing causes.

B．By giving examples.

C．By making comparisons.

D．By listing data.

【4】Which can best describe the selection between minimalism and maximalism?

A．Love me, love my dog.

B．There is no accounting for taste.

C．Birds of a feather flock together.

D．Cut your coat according to your cloth.

23、Every dog owner knows that saying Good dog! A happy, high-pitched voice will bring about a flurry of joyful tail wagging in their pet.

That makes scientists curious. What exactly happens in your dog's brain when it hears praise? And is it similar to the way our own brain processes such acoustic information?

When a person gets a compliment, the more primitive subcortical(皮下的) auditory regions first react to the intonation(声调), the emotional force of spoken words. Next, the brain taps the more recently evolved auditory cortex(皮质) to figure out the meaning of the words, which is learned.

【1】 Of course, dogs use their right brain hemisphere to do so, whereas we use our left hemisphere. Still, a mystery remains. Do their brains go through the same steps to process approval?

It's an important question. Dogs are speechless species. 【2】 For instance, some dogs are able to recognize thousands of names of individual objects. They can even link each name to a specific object.

When the scientists studied scans of the brains of pet dogs, they found that theirs, like ours, processed the sounds of spoken words in a multi-step manner. They analyze first the emotional components with the older region of the brain, the subcortical regions. 【3】

Previous studies have shown that many animals, from songbirds to dolphins, use the subcortex to process emotional hints. 【4】 Zebras, for instance, can eavesdrop on the emotion, or fright to be precise, in other herbivore(食草动物) animals‘ calls. In this way they learn if predators are nearby.

It’s likely that human language evolved from such hints. We employ the same neurological systems to develop speech. 【5】 Dogs have the very likeliness to make special use of the ancient connection to process human emotions. It helps explain why dogs are so successful at partnering with us and at times manipulating us with those soulful eyes.

A．It is widely recognized that the dog has a complex structure of brain, similar, in a way, to that of human’s.

B．But they respond correctly to our words.

C．Animals are found to have adopted various mechanisms to defend against enemies.

D．They are capable of obtain mood implications even though they can’t talk.

E．It has been discovered that dogs’ brains, like those of humans, compute the intonation and meaning separately.

F．Domesticated animals have evolved alongside humans for the past thousands of years.

G．Subsequently, they deal with the words’ meaning with the newer part, the cortex.

24、Good gift giving is an art. The perfect present can lift a mood or improve a relationship. 【1】 So are there any rules to follow? Read on for 4 essential tips.

·Don’t add a small gift to a big gift.

Want to add a tie to an expensive shirt? Some flowers to go with a bottle of grand wine? Don’t. When we receive several gifts together, we tend to average out their value. 【2】

·Gift experiences rather than things.

A new iPhone becomes old fast. 【3】 Often more thought has gone into experiences, and they create more vivid memories. That is why you should consider an experience over a physical object while gifting.

·Gift cards are not bad.

Gift giving can be wasteful. We only spend $10 on ourselves if we find something that we expect is worth more than 10 to us. But gift is different, because we’re not buying for ourselves. So we can spend 10 on something that’s worth less than 10 to the receiver. 【4】 Gift cards have become much more popular over time. And they’re also very popular with receivers — a better option than a rushed or poorly chosen gift that goes straight to the garbage can.

【5】

Let’s put it very simply: buy things that your receiver would buy for themselves. That might seem obvious, but it happens far less than we’d like. People tend to use gifts to signal something about themselves rather than providing utility (实用) or happiness to the receiver. The best way to get it right is to simply ask the question—“What would you like?”

A．Think like the receiver.

B．It could even be worth nothing to them.

C．Use gifts to signal something about yourself.

D．But having the same experience strengthens bonds.

E．Therefore, a small gift added to a big one will hurt the big one’s impact.

F．Whatever the occasion, gift giving requires careful thought and consideration.

G．But a dream vacation or seeing your favorite artist will give you memories that last forever.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Joining a Study Group

Different people may find that different learning methods work best for them. While some would turn to tutoring in order to get better grades, others choose to join study groups. In fact, many universities encourage their students to form study groups and make good use of them.

“Two heads are better than one.” That’s the simple idea behind study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit some of their best academic resources: other students. They get to pick each other’s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create slightly tense atmosphere in which it’s good to study. For example, some students tend to put off their schedule when they are studying by themselves; however, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working diligently and are likely to thus be motivated for working harder.

Study groups work best when they are small, but not too small — four to five participants is about right. And it’s necessary to make sure everyone has the same goal, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review lecture notes.

In addition, to maximize the efficiency, some study groups like to assign members certain roles, and thus efficiency will be promoted. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to identify their sources. For instance, when a group member says, “I read somewhere that…,” the source-seeker should ask for specifics. This person reminds the group that it’s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to make sure that all group members are participating, may ask a direct question to help a shy person to participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen.
