When we 36 our world to include others in a meaningful way, by making a 37 difference in their life, we increase our experience at the same time.Think back on a time when someone made a difference in your life.Here is one of mine: I was going to college, working part-time, and just 38 getting by financially. Standing in line at a local supermarket, I 39 a woman in the same line, thinking that she was not very attractive. As I was 40 , I discovered that I did not have enough money to pay; without 41 , that same woman I had been judging offered to 42 the difference. It wasnt 43 , but what that person did made a lasting impression on me. She was a beautiful, caring soul who was willing to help a stranger in a(an) 44 situation. That happened over forty years ago and I remember it as 45 as if it was yesterday.Other examples are the numerous times I have had people smile at me, which 46 my day. Ive often wondered if it was because I was smiling, which I 47 to do all the time, or because they were smiling to be 48 , which encouraged me to smile as well. It has probably been some of both. In 49 case, that simple gesture (a smile) makes a difference in my day.There are 50 ways to make a significant difference in anothers life. The question is: Are we doing it? It does not 41 anything, but it does require some effort on our part. I have found that as I do this consistently, the 52 go far beyond the energy required to do the deed.

B. 60 C. 65 D. 70BComputers have become so smart during the past 20 years that people dont think twice about chatting with digital assistants like Alexa and Siri. But that required hard work from computer scientists like YoshuaBengio, Geoffrey Hinton, and Yann LeCun. They tapped into their own brainpower to make it possible for machines to learn like humans, a breakthrough now commonly known as “artificial intelligence”, or AI.Their insights and persistence were rewarded with the Turing Award, an honor that has become known as technology industrys version of the Nobel Prize. The award marks the latest recognition of the instrumental role that artificial intelligence will likely play in redefining the relationship between humanity and technology in the decades ahead.Over the past 30 years, Mr. Bengio, Mr. Hinton, and Mr. LeCun have mostly worked separately on technology known as neural (神经的) networks. These are the electronic engines that power tasks such as facial and speech recognition, areas where computers have made huge improvements over the past decade. Such neural networks also are a key part of robotic systems that are automating a wide range of other human activities, including driving.Their belief in the power of neural networks was once looked down upon. “For a long time, people thought what we were doing was nonsense,” Mr. Hinton said in an interview with The Associated Press. “They thought we were very misguided and what we were doing was a very surprising thing for apparently intelligent people to waste their time on. My message to young researchers is, dont be put off if everyone tells you what you are doing is silly.”While the AI revolution is raising hopes that computers will make most peoples lives more convenient and enjoyable, its also arousing fears that humanity eventually will be living at the mercy of machines. Mr. Bengio, Mr. Hinton, and Mr. LeCun are also concerned that AI technology might be developed into weapon systems that wipe out humanity.But they are far more optimistic about the other prospects of AI empowering computers to deliver more accurate warnings about floods and earthquakes, or detecting health risks, such as cancer and heart attacks, far earlier than human doctors.58. Why does the author mention Alexa and Siri in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic of AI.B. To stress the significance of computers.C. To distinguish between types of AI.D. To encourage the use of digital assistants.59. What role do neural networks play in AI? A. They make electronic engines work.B. They match up peoples faces with voices. C. They contribute to robotic automation.D. They enable humans to learn like machines.60. Why are people concerned about AI? A. It is a total waste of money.B. It is likely to bring disasters to human beings. C. It is a real risk to public health.D. It is ineffective in forecasting natural disasters.61. What is the best title for the passage?A. What Is AI?B. AI Scientists Rescuing Human BeingsC. Why Is AI Popular?D. AI Pioneers Awarded Techs “Nobel Prize” CWilderness“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved. As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans needthe rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these ”ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.62. John Sauven holds that_.A. many people value nature too much B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC. wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong63. What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.64. What is the authors attitude towards this debate?A. Objective.B. Disapproving.C. Sceptical.D. Optimistic.65. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) : ConclusionA. B. C. D. 第二节 七选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）Whats in a logo?What attracts customers?
