Lee Se-dol, one of the greatest Go players, has won 18 world championships for 21 years of his professional career. AlphaGo, a computer program developed by Googles DeepMind, beat the European Go champion, an achievement that was not expected for years in October, 2015.The match between Lee and AlphaGo was seen as a representative game between humans and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The match of the century drew great attention from news organizations, Go fans and the general public across the world as well as in South Korea.Go originated from China more than 2,500 years ago. It involves two players who take turns putting markers on a net-shaped board to gain more areas on it. One can occupy the markers of the rival (对手) by surrounding the pieces of the other. Go is considered to be a lot more complex than chess where artificial intelligence scored its most famous victory to date when IBMs Deep Blue beat grandmaster Gary Kasparov in 1997.But experts say Go presents an entirely different challenge because of the games incomputable number of move options. In other words, the computer must be capable of human-like intuition (直觉) to win.I was very surprised because I did not think that I would lose the game, said Mr. Lee. He said AlphaGos early strategy was “excellent” and that he was shocked by one unconventional move it had made that a human never would have played, which he believed directly resulted in his loss.AlphaGo is proud of a deep learning capability to learn for itself and discover new strategies by playing games against itself and adjusting neural networks (神经网络) based on a trial-and-error process known as reinforcement (强化) learning.In spite of his loss, he did not regret accepting the challenge. I had a lot of fun playing Go and Im looking forward to the future games,” he said after AlphaGo won 3-0 in a five-game match.“Playing against a machine is very different from an actual human player. Normally, you can sense your rivals breathing, their energy. And lots of times you make decisions which depend on the physical reactions of the person youre playing against. With a machine, you cant do that”, Lee said.24. Where can we most probably read this text? A. In a personal diaryB. In a science magazine C. In a science fiction D. In a travel guide25. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Only people in South Korea pay attention to the match between Lee and AlphaGo. B. Artificial intelligence rewrote the history as AlphaGo beat Gary Kasparov in 1997. C. AlphaGos early strategy was to play by regular moves the same as human beings. D. Lee Se-dol was convinced he would finally win the match before the series started.26. What did Lee think was the cause of his loss? A. AlphaGo had an excellent strategy and unconventional moves. B. He couldnt sense AlphaGos breathing and energy in the games. C. He made decisions depending on the rivals physical reactions. D. The designer of AlphaGo was a talent who couldnt be defeated. 27. This article is mainly about _. A. The differences between playing chess and Go B. The difficulties Lee met in the match with AlphaGo C. The introduction of a match between Lee and AlphaGo D. The development of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) CHey, ladies! Its summer again and its time for a new you! No more make-up, no more pretending! Yes, thats right! Its time to stop making ourselves beautiful for the camera, and start posting confident pictures without all the make-up and extra tricks we add onto ourselves in the hope of appearing more attractive and beautiful. Because believe it or not, we already are!After we wash our face and go to bed, it is not so perfect. You know its the face we should confidently be showing to the world! Who cares if you have pimples（面痕）or your eyes look small, or if you have crows feet? Guess what? Those are actually what make you such a beautifully grown woman. And any person who doesnt think so is just not as strong as you.Nowadays we are so prone to do anything and everything to make us look as young and perfect as possible. Yet the truth is, by doing this, we are actually making our tree skin get worse and badly affected by all the junk we put on. We are making ourselves believe that by changing our appearance we will be more accepted and seem more attractive to other people. And yet, our final goal is to find that without all of the make-up. What kind of twisted（扭曲的）game are we really playing with ourselves?So I would like to make a suggestion for all women out there to give yourself a break at least this summer. Take a couple of pictures without all of that make-up on. You dont need it every single day, especially not this hot summer! Youll be surprised that the more confident you are about showing the real side of you, the more attractive you will be to everyone else.Yes, the saying, “Beauty comes from within” is an old one, definitely still holds some troth today. So be brave, carefree, and make-up free! Let the world see you for who you really are!28.

Research found that the 13 volunteers experienced inattentional deafness to the normal-volume sounds playing in the background astheirvisual tasks became increasingly difficult. We found that when volunteers were performing the demanding visual task, they were unable to hear sounds that they would normally hear, study co-author Maria Chait said in a statement. The brain scans showed thatpeople were not only ignoring or filtering out the sounds, they were not actually hearing them in the first place.The findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggest that the visual and auditory processing centers that make sense of the sights and sounds that surround us share limited resources.Inattentional deafness is a common everyday experience and the study explains why, according to UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience Professor Nilli Lavie, a co-author of the study. This could also explain why you might not hear your bus or train stop being announced if youre concentrating on your phone, book, or newspaper. If you try to talk to someone focusing on a book, game, or television program and dont receive a response, they are not necessarily ignoring you, they simply might not hear you! she said.Loud soundslike ambulance sirenswill still be able to break through, but some situations could becomepotentially dangerous when the quieter ones go unheard, according to Medical Daily. This has more serious implications in situations such as the operating theater, when a surgeon concentrating on their work might not hear the equipment beeping, Lavie said. It also applies to drivers concentrating on complex directions as well as cyclists and motorists who are focusing intently on something such as an advertisement or even simply an interesting-looking passerby. 32. The 13 volunteers studied in the study_A. experienced deafness due to their inattentionB. were deaf to the normal sounds intentionallyC. can hear the normal-volume sounds when performing the demanding visual taskD. didnt choose to ignore the normal sounds on purpose33. If a person concentrates on a book_A. you cannot expect him to respond to youB. he doesnt want to give you a replyC. he wants you to be away from himD. he may get angry because of your disturbance34. How doesthe inattentional deafness affect our lifeaccording to the last paragraph?A. It may lead to people losing friends.B. It may cause danger in some fields.C. It may make something more complex.D. It may increase ones attraction.35. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?A. The benefit of the inattentional deafnessB. The expectation from young teenagers.C. Concentrating on something visual can cause short deaf earsD. Inattentional deafness is not a good thing 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。There are so many Confucian Temples (孔庙) around the world, especially in China. If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. 36 While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. 37 In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. 38 The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the disadvantages of Westerners philosophy. 39 So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. 40 Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.A. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.B. So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well.C. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.D. Why do Americans have no knowledge about Confucius?E. Students in the United States, in the meantime, are racing to learn Chinese.F. But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius.G. This is because China is becoming increasing powerful.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，从短文后各题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Many times we do something positive or say something kind, but we dont see the influence it has on other people.
