Winning the game was seen as a test of human creativity. That is, until a machine found a way to do it better. AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence (AI) machine built by Googles DeepMind, won its first match against South Korean Go grandmaster Lee Sedol on March 9.So what is next for AI and humanity? DARPA challenges competitions run by the US Department of Defense are an example of robots and AI being put to the test in the real world. Past DARPA challenges forced researchers to build robots that could walk up and down hills. Some people have been arguing that AI is harmful to the human race. In an interview with the BBC, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”. So are we really on the edge of living in the world shown in the Terminator sci-fi movies? “Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, its not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to apply their knowledge to everyday situations. In the DARPA challenges, the Los Angeles Times noted, many robots “fell over like kids learning to walk”. “We take for granted things like balance and vision,” Thomas Johnson, founder of a robotic company told the newspaper. “But for a robot, to walk up and down hills requires so many complicated decisions to be made in real time, and its really difficult to do.” Or as The Economist put it: “We have a long way to go before AIs capabilities truly begin to approach the human brain.” “Ultimately, our fate is in our own hands,” he wrote. “Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.” 21. Who defeated Go grandmaster?A. AlphaGo B. Stephen Hawking C. Lee Sedol D. Terminator22. How can an example of robots and AI win DARPA challenges?A. They can walk like kids.B. They can deal with things like balance and vision.C. They can remember and produce facts.D. They can walk in the real world.23. According to the Economist, what can we conclude about AI?A. It can beat human easily like AlphaGo.B. Proper use of AI will help human to improve the world. C. AIs capabilities began to approach the human brain.D. The development of AI could spell the end of the human race.BLawrence Public Schools High School Uniform StandardsShirts: All students will be required to wear a polo or oxford shirt.

I attended a legal class at Wuthering Heights University. The instructor said, “ Today were going to take an assumed case. A man named Hatfield is charging his surgeon with improper treatment because his doctor cut off the wrong leg.”“Tina, youre the lawyer for Hatfield. Tommy, you are the insurance companys defense lawyer. Tina, you go first.” Tina said, “ Well, first I have to prove the doctor didnt know one leg from the other. I use charts, X-rays and slides to show the leg the surgeon removed was a healthy one. To do this, I have to call expert witnesses to testify to this effect and I will put my client on the stand and he will testify he could not find work as a dancer after his leg was removed.”“Tommy, you object because that fact is irrelevant.”Tommy said, “ I object.”The professor continued, “ I will be the judge in this case,” and said, “ objection ineffective.” “I will tell the jury(陪审团)to ignore the defense objection. As soon as the defense lawyer says it, the jury will remember his statement despite the judges instructions . Now, Tommy, its the defenses turn.”“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Hatfield signed a contract giving permission to cut off his leg and did not specify which one. Once he signed the paper it was no longer the surgeons responsibility.”Tommy said, “ I would like to show proof A.”“What is it?” The professor asked. “When Hatfield went to college, he failed history and was kicked off the football team.”Tina said, “ Objection. His school grades have nothing to do with his leg.”The professor said, “ Now class, pay attention. This is very important for anyone who is defending a client in this kind of case. You have to destroy the reputation of your opponents(对手) every chance you can. I hope you have learned something today. As the great lawyer O. J. Simpson once said, Winning is everything.”28.

What can be concluded from the passage?A. In order to win the cases, lawyers will often use some tricks.B. Ineffective objection of the defense will be ignored by the jury.C. It is necessary to ruin others reputation as possible as you can.D.Winning is everything in law.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. An assumed court B. An efficient way to winC. An improper treatment D. A tricky professorD Chinese consumers appetite for luxury goods and services appears unstoppable, with just 2 percent of the Chinese population responsible for one-third of the worlds luxury items. Luxury consumption in China now spreads way beyond well-known car, clothing and jewelry brands. For example, the luxury jet market in China is the fastest-growing in the world, with a market share of 25 percent. This trend appears to continue, with 20 to 30 percent growth expected in China, compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US. Chinas luxury jet market growth represents a major development in the private consumption of luxury items. Chinas high-quality red wine market also provides definite evidence of the growth in private consumption of luxury goods. In 2013, China became the largest market for red wine in the world, even overtaking the French, with 1.86 billion bottles drunk in China last year. Over the past five years, Chinas red wine consumption has grown 136 percent.But far more attention is still paid to the visible signs of Chinese consumers luxury shopping. Public consumption of such expensive global luxury brands such as Prada and Armani is easily explained by the desire to “gain face” and publicly display social climbing through material possessions.Private consumption of luxury items is, however, less well-understood. According to my consumer research in this area, it is “self-reward” that lies behind consumer motivation in this area. Chinese consumers who have experienced rapid financial and economic gains appear particularly tend to the need to reward themselves for their success. But this has little to do with “gaining face” and impressing others and much more to do with the need for personal contentment.Private consumption of luxury items is often a far more rational（合理的）, planned and, therefore, deliberate process. The amazing growth of high-quality red wine consumption by the Chinese probably has a lot to do with health benefits. Luxury jets are also probably acquired for their immediate, rational rewards such as convenience and speed. Private consumption of luxury items in China is also likely to represent a more calm and reflective experience.Finally, the growth in private luxury consumption in China is set to continue in part due to the maturity of the Chinese consumer and advancement of Chinese consumer culture generally. 32.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. 2% of the Chinese population consume one-third of the worlds luxury items every year.B. The luxury jet market in China took up 25 percent, compared with only 2 to 3 percent in the US.C. Chinas red wine consumption has grown 136 percent, reaching 1.86 billion bottles in 2013.D. Luxury consumption in China includes cars, clothing, jewelry, jet ,wine etc.33.What is the reason for Chinese consumers to buy the private luxury items?A. They have a strong desire to “gain face”.B. They tend to reward themselves for their success.C. They want to show off through material possessions.D. They have experienced rapid financial and economic gains.34. What can be concluded from the passage? A. The private jets in China are far more than those in the US.B. The growth in luxury consumption in China will slow down in the future.C. The luxury brands such as Prada and Armani can help gain face in Chinese consumer culture.D.The maturity of the Chinese markets will guarantee the growth the luxury consumption.35.What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To prove Chinese consumers appetite for luxury goods appears unstoppable.B. To offer some statistics about the growth in private luxury consumption.C. To show the growth of luxury goods in China and analyse the reasons.D. To persuade Chinese consumers to be more rational, planned and deliberate.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。How to have a sense of humorA sense of humor can be a persons greatest virtue.
