swept the world last week when a google-developed program called alphago defeated the world top player, south korean lee se-del, 4-1.so, what comes next?some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or ai in short, will be a bad thing for humans. in an interview with the bbc in 2014, uk scientist stephen hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”so are we really about to live in the world shown in the terminator movies? “not quite,” answered the economist. after all, its not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. what is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.“we think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance（视觉平衡）, are natural and ordinary in our life.” thomas edison, founder of motion figures, a company that is bringing ai to boys, told the newspaper. “but for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and its really difficult to do.”as the economist put it, “we have a long way to go before ai can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.”meanwhile, john markoff of the new york times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.“our fate is in our own hands,” he wrote. “since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”32what was the result of the match?alee se-del won alphago 4-1.bneither side won the match.cgoogle program beat alphago.dlee se-del was defeated.33what does thomas edison possibly mean in his remarks?aai can make various decisions quickly.bai would take the place of human beings.cits very hard for ai to beat the human brain.dai does better than humans in sight and balance.34who believes much has to be done to improve ai?athe economist. bjohn markoff.cthe new york times.dstephen hawking.35what does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?aai will improve the world completely.bai may bring disasters to human beings.cai is in the control of human beings.dai will make our future out of control.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。did you know that if you need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning, youre probably sleep-deprived （缺失）？ _36_ . on average, american teens get two hours less than the average 9.2 hours of sleep they need each night to function at their best.there are many reasons why teens dont get enough sleep. _37_ . when your parents were young, they might have read a book or watched television before trying to go to sleep. but todays teens are likely to be surfing the internet, texting, emailing, or playing video games right before bed. _38_ . and using them right before bed can result in difficulty getting to sleep. according to a survey by the national sleep foundation, teens with four or more electronic equipment in their rooms are much more likely than their peers to get an insufficient (不足的) amount of sleep at night, and are almost twice as likely to fall asleep in school and while doing homework._39_ . in the national sleep foundation survey, three-quarters of the teens took at least one drink with caffeine (咖啡因) every day, and nearly one-third consumed two or more every day. with all the trendy “high-energy” drinks and coffees out there right now, its easy to get a caffeine overload and thats not good for sleep.so what can you do if youre in lack of sleep? “the good news is that you only have to make up about a third of what you have lost, to function and feel better,” says dr. mahowald at a sleep disorders center. _40_ . but sleeping until noon on the weekend can cause problems - youll likely be wide-eyed until late those nights. instead, try keeping a reasonable, regular sleeping and waking schedule.a. one of them is a relatively new development.bthose extra two hours of sleep on saturday and sunday mornings can really help.cmost teens dont get enough sleep.dmany teens also drink too much caffeine to sleep well.eelectronic devices are more exciting than simply watching television.fresearchers also have found that biology plays a role in teens sleep patterns.emany school districts are shifting their start times to later morning for school students.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。when my twin sons, chad and brad, were born, i was concerned about
