the one place where people can speak their original（独创的） human mind To know the special ability of poetry to catch the human spirit， World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21each year

friend Benjamin Laird created a website called bot or not， where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer During a recent speech at TedX Sydney， Schwartz said that all over the years， some of the websites poems were able to fool 65percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human By creating the website， Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines and be able to tell what makes us human The human mind is not a cold， hard fact， Schwartz said during his speech A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style， but it wouldnt be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could In fact， now AI software creates poems based on ones

cant show feelings as well as humansD only know how to follow humans poems（4）Which of the following is true according to the passage ？A World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations every two yearsB The magic of poetry lies in the ability of the writerC Nowadays， computers are able to create different kinds of textsD Some poems created by computers are incorrect in style四、词汇运用21（1分）In order to

into direct contact with the local people Independent travel isnt as comfortable or convenient， but its the most meaningful way to travelMOVING AROUND Despite its discomforts， we take public transportation whenever possible Traveling in a car is easier， but also scarier In much of the world roads are poor and driving behaviors are not fixed Luckily， even the less developed countries often have good public transportation systems， riding buses and trains brings us into close contact with the local peopleCARRYING STUFF（东西） Backpacks work better for longterm travel than the wheeled luggage（轮式行李箱） most middleaged travelers use Using luggage is fine with a car， but backpacks are easier for bus and train travel Best of all， wearing backpacks bridge the gap between age groups
