24、
After people have been used to their new work situation. But what if your job was to control a multi-billion-dollar space rover (探测车) located on a planet nearly 200 million km away from Earth?
A team of NASA scientists is doing just that. In order to follow social distancing rules, these scientists have had to work from home. But they’ve still found ways to work together and take care of the complex (复杂的) tasks that are needed to keep the Curiosity rover working on Mars.
Their work-from-home setups (装配) as seen in photos provided to CNBC and ScienceAlert, look much like home office setups. They use ordinary computers. But instead of working on spreadsheets (电子制表), these scientists are programming complex sequences (序列) of instructions that are then sent to the rover. These instructions allowed the rover to find a rock sample (样本) in a location on Mars called “Edinburgh”.
Usually, the team’s 20 scientists work together by communicating through apps or video meetings. One scientist might have to follow 15 message channels (通道) at once.
NASA gave the scientists headsets (耳机) monitors and other equipment to allow them to do their jobs from home. However, the goggles (眼镜) they usually use to analyze (分析) pictures from Mars could not be sent out. So they have to depend on red-and-blue glass lenses (镜片) instead.
But difficulties like these have not been a problem for the scientists. In fact, getting used to changing situations is “classic, textbook NASA,” according to the head of science operations Carrie Bridge. “We’re presented with a problem and we find out how to make things work. Mars isn’t standing still for us; we’re still exploring,” she said.
【1】During the outbreak, NASA scientists ________.
A.use different computers to work
B.work on spreadsheets
C.are making Curiosity rover work from home
【2】Working at home is not convenient for NASA scientists because ________.
A.they have to use red-and-blue glass lenses
B.they cannot communicate person to person
C.they don’t have the equipment to do their jobs
【3】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?
A.Mars is nearly 200 million km away from Earth.
B.One scientist might have to contact with several other scientists at the same time.
C.NASA scientists can’t work together.
【4】How do we understand “classic, textbook NASA” in the last paragraph?
A.NASA wrote a textbook on how to deal with problems.
B.NASA always finds ways to deal with new situations.
C.Difficulties are uncommon for NASA.
【5】What is the story mainly about?
A.NASA’s project on Mars.
B.The problems NASA faces.
C.How NASA scientists work at home.
25、We often praise the world of science.
It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能,AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.
However, one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.
“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.
Hawking is a well-known British physicist and author of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came after commenting(评论)the technology he uses to speak with. As Hawking has got a serious disease called ALS, he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.
This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films show big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited(限制) by slow biological evolution (进化), couldn’t compete,” said Hawking.
But not every scientist is pessimistic (悲观的) about AI technology. “I believe we will be in control of the technology for a long time,” said Rollo Carpenter, creator of Cleverbot in the UK, which is a software program that remembers past conversations. “The advantages of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is heading? Should we be hopeful or fearful?
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about AI?
A. It makes our lives easier.
B. The technology is not very popular now.
C. Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.
【2】The writer took Hawking as an example to ______.
A. explain how AI has helped us
B. show AI has already become part of our life
C. suggest that AI might become dangerous for humans
【3】What does the underlined word “surpass” mean in the passage?
A. 象征 B.促进 C. 超越
【4】We can know from the last paragraph that _________.
A. Rollo agrees with Hawking
B. Rollo is a British creator
C. Rollo invented Cleverbot in the US
【5】Which of the following can be a suitable title for this article?
A. AI: a friend or an enemy
B. The future of human beings
C. The fight between humans and AI
26、Steven Jobs,the designer(设计者) of Apple Computer,was not clever when he was in school. At that time,he was not a good student and he always made troubles with his schoolmates. When he went into college,he didn’t change a lot. Then he dropped out(退学). But he was full of new ideas.
After he left college,Steven Jobs worked as a video game designer. He worked there for only several months and then he went to India. He hoped that the trip would give him some new ideas and give him a change in life.
Steven Jobs lived on a farm in California for a year after he returned from India.
In 1975,he began to make a new type of computer. He designed the Apple Computer with his friend in his garage(车库). He chose the name “Apple” just because it could help him to remember a happy summer he once spent in an apple tree garden.
His Apple Computer was such a great success that Steven Jobs soon became famous all over the world.
【1】Steven Jobs was not a good student in school because he .
A. never did his lessons

27、 Do you think robots could pass an eighth-grade test? Guess what—they can.
The artificial intelligence (AI) system Aristo recently passed the same eighth-grade science test that some US students take. The New York Times reported. Aristo correctly(正确地) answered 90 percent of the questions on the test.
This is an example of the progress that is being made in AI development. Four years ago, 700 computer scientists tried to develop AI systems that could pass these kinds of exams. None scored higher than 60 percent.
Scientists at the Allen Institute in the US developed the system. Aristo was able to pass the exam because it can not only understand language, but also use logical thinking(逻辑思维)to solve difficult problems. For example, it can understand what a forest fire is and how it could affect(影响) animals.
The system used BERT, a kind of neural(神经的) network technology developed by Google, to answer the questions. BERT has "read" thousands of articles and can understand English. If it looks at a sentence with a missing word, it can correctly guess what the word is. With BERT's help, Aristo "read" many multiple-choice(多选的) questions. Over time, it was able to find logical patterns(逻辑模式).
Aristo’s success means that we might see new AI-based products(人工智能产品), such as search engines(搜索引擎) and databases(数据库) for hospitals. AI systems might be able to better understand users in the future.
【1】What did the AI system Aristo do?
A.Help students study. B.Pass a school test.
C.Talk like a human does. D.Develop other AI systems.
【2】What was Aristo's biggest success?
A.It passed several kinds of tests. B.It passed the test with a full score.
C.It scored 90 percent on the test. D.It worked out a set of test questions.
【3】How did Aristo answer questions in the test?
A.By using BERT. B.By asking Google for help.
C.By working with scientists. D.By copying the students' answers.
【4】Paragraph 5 is written to________.
A.explain how Aristo worked B.show what else Aristo can do
C.show how Aristo was created D.describe another AI breakthrough
【5】From the story, we can learn that________.
A.AI-based products are not useful B.AI systems might be used in many fields
C.robots can't think logically D.Aristo will be used to help teach students
28、 Have you ever read the book A Brief History of Times? It was written by Stephen Hawking (霍金) in 2013.
Stephen Hawking was born on January 1st, 1942, exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo(伽利略) in Oxford, England. At 【1】 age of eleven, Stephen went to Oxford University, his father’s old collage. After three years, he won a first class honor degree in 【2】(nature) science.
In October 1962, Stephen arrived at the University of Cambridge to do research. He 【3】(real) enjoyed his time there. Unluckily, Stephen had a bad ilness shortly after his 【4】(twenty-one) birthday in 1963 and was given two years to live. Yet he went on 【5】(work) hard to become an excellent scientist. Stephen didn’t live by h【6】, he fell in love with Jane and they got married in 1665, then they had three 【7】 (child).
Hawking liked China very much, he had visited China several times. On November 24th, 2017, Hawking 【8】 (reply) Wang Junkai on his Weibo. He said he was p【9】 to answer the excellent question from Mr. Wang Junkai.
He once said, “My goal is simple; it is complete understanding of the universe.” Stephen Hawking is regarded 【10】 one of the most famous scientists since Einstein. Hawking died on March 14th, 2018.
29、Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)
Wang Fei, a Chinese student, and Mary, an American student studying Chinese in China, were in a supermarket. They saw a young man ______ down the stairs. In his hurry, he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground. He tried to stand up ______ people around him laughed. Luckily, he seemed to be OK.
Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy ______ it. “Tell me, Wang Fei, how could people laugh when someone fell like that? Why didn’t they go up and ask him if he was hurt?”
Wang Fei said, “Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too _____.”
“But I still don’t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture, people would never laugh!”
This is an example. The Chinese and the western will think and act differently when seeing _______ a thing. Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling. Very often the person who is in embarrassing situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it.______, if someone gets hurt seriously, it will not be a laughing matter any more. People will help him or her instead.
But, in that case, a westerner will rush over and help the person get up. If a westerner falls, he or she, like a Chinese person, may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt. If two close friends are walking together, and one falls ______ clearly isn’t hurt, a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip.”
So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures.
