many hours each dayb robert cohen knows a thing or two about photography. hes a staff photographer for the st. louis post-dispatch, one of americas most respected newspapers. one day this past august, he set off for the missouri state fair in sedalia. fairs were full of wonderful photo opportunities: people eating corn dogs, riding the ferris wheel, trying to win beautiful animals at the shooting gallery, clowns applying face paints and young lovers holding hands. cohen caught them all, not on his fine digital camera, but on a well-worn 35-millimeter model, using classic 1996 kodachrome 200 film. he had found a roll by chance in a freezer. as he wrote in the st. louis post-dispatch, kodachrome was once americas film of choice. it produced, as he put it, pictures so real and beautiful. the color, rich and grainy, gave the film a soul that no smart tools could match. the final little box of kodachrome rolled off the eastman kodak companys assembly line(流水作业线) in 2009. to most americans, film is already out-of-date, together with typewriters and video recorders. one could shoot and shoot and shoot digital photos without buying a single roll of film. but film lovers are stubborn, just as someone insists that a classic record does better than the finest digital music player. lots of photographers and teachers have kept their darkrooms and stubbornly develop film there. robert cohen enjoyed his day at the fair, shooting his last 36 frames of film. then he drove into kansas, to the town of parsons, 550 kilometers from st. louis, to the last lab in america that still developed kodachrome film. cohen waited around town for three hours before the lab called to tell him his film was ready. it turned out to be good and memorable pictures.24. why did robert cohen go to the missouri state fair?a. to shoot photos. b. to report the fair.c. to get kodachrome film. d. to win beautiful animals.25. what do the underlined words “smart tools” in paragraph 2 refer to? a. digital music players. b. modern computers. c. smart phones. d. digital cameras.26. how do most americans find film? a. it is too complex to develop. b. it is no longer useful. c. it can produce quality pictures. d. it is inconvenient to use. 27. what difficulty did cohen meet in developing his film?a. he couldnt find a darkroom. b. he had little time to develop the film. c. he covered a long distance to reach the lab. d. he had to wait weeks to get his film developed.c in the age of the social network, theres definitely such a thing as sharing too much；when it comes to losing weight, sharing could be key, though. a new northwestern university study published in the journal of the royal society interface found that those who had an active hand in such online communities lost a higher percentage of their body weight compared to users who participated sparingly. scientists analyzed data from people paying a membership fee on calorieking. com, which permits them access to weight-loss tools（like a food journal）and an online club. while the identity of each user remained confidential, the researchers had access to age, sex, height, initial weight and time-stamped activities. they could also monitor members recorded weight-ins, friend requests and community arrangement, though they could not read any of the actual conversations between users.the researchers discovered that the users who recorded their weight and established close relations with other members were more likely to achieve their goals of ridding themselves of pounds. the most active users lost more than 8 percent of their body weight in a six-month period. the least active users, those with the fewest online friends and social interactions, lost around 5 percent of their body weight in the same period of time. the researchers theorize that participation plays a key role in weight loss because it offers an always-accessible network of support.theyre also looking ahead: the positive results point to sensible uses for social networks in other areas of health. online communities might be successful alternatives for minor illnesses like discouragement and alcoholism, for which in-person meetings are often suggested. “modern life is so complex and stressful, and to go somewhere for a meeting is often not practical,” luis a. nunes amaral, senior author of the study, said in a statement. “it is hopeful that this alternative approach of going online for support could work.”28. in which column of a magazine should the text be seated?a. entertainment. b. fitness. c. technology. d. medicine.29. who would lose more weight according to the new study?a. people frequently making online friends.b. network users sparing time to surf the internet.c. members affording payments on calorieking. com.d. fellows regularly taking part in community activities.30. what can we learn from the 4th paragraph?a. scientists ought to pay for the online data they study.b. researchers can manage to know more of the users besides their names. c. peoples active online communications matter in their losing weight.d. the most active users lost 3% more of their weight than the least active ones within half a year.31. what is amarals attitude toward online communities?a. anxious. b. optimistic. c. undoubted. d. impractical.dthe concept of intelligent robots, as friends or enemies, dates back to ancient times. reports of people admiring human likenesses and building human-like robots date back to the days of ancient greece and egypt. ai has also featured prominently in pop culture, for example: the computer hal 9000 in the film “2001: a space odyssey” and arnold schwarzeneggers robot character in “the terminator” films.since the field of ai was officially founded in the mid-1950s, people have been predicting the rise of conscious machines. inventor and futurist ray kurzweil refers to a point in time known as “the singularity”, when machine intelligence beats human intelligence. based on the exponential（指数的） growth of technology according to moores law (which states that computing processing power doubles approximately every two years), kurzweil has predicted the singularity will occur by 2045.nevertheless, a number of prominent science and technology experts have expressed worry that human beings are not doing enough to prepare for the rise of artificial general intelligence, if and when it does occur. earlier this week, hawking issued a serious warning about the threat of ai. “the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,” hawking told the bbc, in response to a question about his new voice recognition system, which uses artificial intelligence to predict intended words. and hawking isnt alone. elon musk told an audience at mit that ai is humanitys “biggest existential threat”. he also once posted, “we need to be super careful with ai. potentially more dangerous than nuclear weapons.” in march, musk told cnbc that hed like to “keep an eye on whats going on with artificial intelligence,” adding, “i think theres potentially a dangerous outcome there.”but despite the fears of noticeable technology leaders, the rise of conscious machines-known as “strong ai” or “general artificial intelligence”is likely a long way off, many researchers argue. “i dont see any reason to think that as machines become more intelligent which is not going to happen tomorrowthey would want to destroy us or do harm,” said charlie ortiz, head of ai at the burlington. “lots of work needs to be done before computers are anywhere near that level,” he said.32. “the singularity” in the second paragraph refers to _.a. a point in the historyb. the machine intelligence will go beyond human intelligencec. computing processing power doubles every two yearsd. the power of technology will double by 204533. experts like hawking worry that _.a. artificial intelligence is approaching in the near futureb. artificial intelligence is bound to arise in the near futurec. human beings are not prepared for the coming of aid. human beings are the biggest existential threat to ai34. what is the charlie ortizs attitude toward ais threat?a. critical. b. tolerant. c. doubtful. d. approving.35. what is the best title of the passage?a. ai, friend or competitor?b. ai, friendly or frightening?c. ai vs. human beings!d. ai, frightening or worrying? 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。things to start doing for yourselfhere is a positive to-do list for the upcoming year things to
