But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes (笔画) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. Its faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And thats why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.“When Im writing with a pen, I find I often cant remember how to write a character, though I feel Im familiar with it.”“Im not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”Many students dont feel this is something to worry about. Now that its more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “ Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writers emotion. Through ones handwriting, people can get to know ones thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.19. The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means_.A. getting bored with B. getting dependent onC. becoming crazy about D. getting curious about20. The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because_.A. computers have become a trend and fashion in China B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essaysC. they find it not easy to remember how to write a characterD. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently21. Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?A. Handwriting contains the writers emotions.B. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.C. Handwriting can impress people well and build ones self-confidence.D. The writers thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.22. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. To Type or to Handwrite. B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.C. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand.D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.C Googles AlphaGo beats Go master Lee Se-dol 3-0 in a best-of-five competition, in what is seen as a landmark moment for artificial intelligence (人工智能). Googles AlphaGo program was playing against Lee Se-dol in Seoul, in South Korea. Mr. Lee had been confident he would win before the competition started. “AlphaGo played consistently (稳定地) from beginning to the end while Lee, as he is only human, showed some mental weakness,” one of Lees coaches, Kwon Kap-Yong, told the AFP news agency. Mr. Lee is considered as a successful Go player, having won many competitions in his career. Go is a game of two players who take turns putting black or white stones on a 19-by-19 grid (棋格). Players win by surrounding their competitors pieces with their own. In the first game of the series (系列赛), AlphaGo won by a very small chance Mr. Lee had led for most of the match, but AlphaGo managed to build up a strong lead in its closing stages. After losing the second match to DeepMind, Lee Se-dol said he was “speechless” adding that the AlphaGo machine played a “nearly perfect game”. Experts said that Lee Se-dol had brought his “top game” but that AlphaGo had won “in great style”. The AlphaGo system was developed by British computer company DeepMind which was bought by Google in 2014. It has built up its special skills by studying older games and teasing out so many kinds of ways of play. And, according to DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, it has also spent a lot of time just playing the game. “It played itself, millions and millions of times and each time got a little better it learns from its mistakes,” he told the BBC before the matches started. This good circle of continuous improvement meant the super computer went into the five-match series stronger than when it beat the European player late last year. Does this mean artificial intelligence is now smarter than us and will kill us humans? Certainly not. AlphaGo doesnt care if it wins or loses. Does it mean that artificial intelligence will soon take your job? Possibly you should be more worried about that. 23. What had Lee Se-dol thought about the competition before it started? A. He would beat AlphaGo. B. AlphaGo would lead the match. C. It was hard to tell who would win. D. AlphaGo would have some weakness.24. What happened in the first game of the series? A. Mr. Lee won by a very small chance. B. AlphaGo had led for most of the match. C. Mr. Lee was beaten by AlphaGo finally. D. AlphaGo built up a strong lead at the beginning. 25. What does the underlined phrase “teasing out” probably mean? A. Giving out. B. Working out. C. Running out. D. Pointing out. 26. The writer may agree that _ in the future. A. human will be killed by artificial intelligence B. artificial intelligence will do everything for human C. people might lose jobs because of artificial intelligence D. artificial intelligence will be much smarter than human DUp to 60 Shanghai maths teachers are to be brought to England to raise standards, in an exchange arranged by the Department for Education.
