An artificial intelligence, developed by Google-owned research firm DeepMind, can now pass an important psychological assessment that most children only develop the skills to pass at around age 4. The achievement in this key theory of mind test may lead to AIs that are more human-like.Most humans regularly think about other peoples desires, beliefs or intentions. For a long time, this was thought to be uniquely human, but an increasing body of evidence suggests that some other animals, such as orangutans(红毛猩猩) and ravens(乌鸦) may have theory of mind. However, the idea that machines could share these abilities is normally reserved for science fiction.DeepMind thinks otherwise. The firm created its latest AI with the intention of it developing a basic theory of mind. The AI is called Theory of Mind-net, or ToM-net for short. In a virtual world, ToM-net is able to not just predict what other AI agents will do, but also understand that they may hold false beliefs about the world.For humans, the idea that others can hold false beliefs seems very natural. However, humans dont actually understand that other people can hold false beliefs until around age 4. “Its a classic developmental stage for young children,” says Peter Stone at the University of Texas at Austin. One of the main reasons we know about this is a psychology experiment called the Sally-Anne test. In the test, Anne watches Sally leave an object somewhere, only for it to be moved without Sally seeing. Anne, who has seen everything, is then asked where Sally will first look for the object. To pass the test, Anne needs to be able to distinguish between where the object is and where Sally thinks it is. In other words, Anne needs to understand that Sally may hold a false belief about the objects location.To copy this set-up for AIs, ToM-net plays the role of Anne in a virtual world consisting of an 11-by-11 grid, some internal walls and four objects. Surprisingly, ToM-net basically passes this form of the Sally-Anne test and exhibit some basic theory of mind. This is a big step. Making computer programs that copy behaviors like theory of mind could improve our understanding of people and other animals, says Christopher Lucas at the University of Edinburgh, UK. But Alan Wagner at Georgia Tech Research Institute says the 11-by-11 grid set-up is too simplistic for the researchers to claim they have got the idea of theory of mind.Outside of the debate as to whether ToM-net truly exhibits theory of mind, there is a possibility that it might help make more human-like AIs. “The more our machines can learn to understand others, the better they can interpret requests, help find information, explain what they are doing, teach us new things and tailor their responses to individuals,” says Rabinowitz at DeepMind.24. According to the underlined sentence in Para 3, DeepMind thinks _. A. machines are likely to develop theory of mindB. only human beings can develop theory of mindC. some animals may know about peoples intentionsD. machines may know better about the world than humans25. By mentioning the Sally-Anne test, the author intends to prove _.A. Anne has theory of mind since she passes the testB. it is natural for humans to hold false beliefsC. age 4 is a classic developmental stage for childrenD. ToM-net possesses some basic theory of mind26. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. ToM-net failed the Sally-Anne test surprisingly.B. Alan Wagner and Christopher Lucas share similar views.C. Rabinowitz is optimistic about the future of ToM-net.D. Humans will largely depend upon human-like AIs.CTodays world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence(毅力), a characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence- which can be taught-are key to a childs life success.”Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed; children are given an appropriate level of autonomy (自主权).In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. A key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.27. What is special about the BYU professors study?A. It centered on fathers role in parenting.B. It was based on a number of large families.C. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.D. It aimed to improve kids achievement in school.28. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?A. Ignore their demands. B. Make decisions for them.C. Control their behaviors. D. Explain the rules to them.29. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?A. Single parents. B. Children aged from 11 to 14.C. Authoritarian fathers. D. Mothers in two-parent homes.30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Three Characteristics of Authoritative FathersB. Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in FutureC. Children Tend to Learn Determination from FatherD. Family Relationship Influences School Performance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。I work at a community library. Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet. Nothing could be further from the truth. 31 A simple Internet search for “cats” produces approximately 2. 98 billion results in less than one second. It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results? We hear so much about “false news”. 32 Librarians are there to help. They have been trained, through special classes and workshops, to sort through all of the results and find credible sources. Author Neil Gaiman said, “Google can bring you back 100, 000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.” 33 It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job, continue their education, and learn new skills. It helps seniors find the resources they need to keep up with the “modern” world. It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them. It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work. It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions. It allows people to meet and exchange ideas.Libraries are so much more than books and information. Yes, there are public computers, Internet access, movies, music, programs and a thousand other things. 34 They are places where people feel safe and welcomed. They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldnt otherwise be able to. They can, at times, be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study.Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood, they too have those same memories. They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren. 35 I dont see the Internet doing that.A. We dont know what sources to trust.B. The public library helps people better their lives.C. The importance of library staff comes to the surface.D. However, libraries meaning and relevance goes even beyond that.E. The public library brings people together to build a strong community. F. In fact, it is because of the Internet that public libraries are needed now more than ever. G. Every day children, students and adults use libraries to learn, grow and achieve their dreams.第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分25分)第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。I have the bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book to see how it ends while Im still in the middle of it.

Finally, one day my daughter told me with a little 38 . “Dad, please just read a book one page at a time like everyone else!”At times I didnt 39 this bad habit to just reading books either.

I knew that the book of my life wasnt done yet and that I had many 41 left to go. 42 , that didnt stop me from trying to write the 43 half-way through.

It loves to 46 us, and you never know what new problem or opportunity each new day will bring.Life has often had to 47 me to slow down. Recently, when I found myself returning to that bad habit of rushing ahead and living in the 48 again, I felt a special voice gently telling me, “ Live one day at a time.” Then I smiled, and turned the book of my life back to the 49 page. Each of us has to write it 50 and moment by moment. We have to trust that it will bring our story to its perfect end.36. A. impatience B. difficulty C. influence D. effort37.
