He put a few of his own coins in the hat. Without asking for permission,he took the sign,turned it around and wrote a new message. Then he put the sign by the feet of the blind man,and left.Later that afternoon the publicist returned to the blind man and noticed that his hat was almost full of bills and coins.

Welcome to Mcity, a fake “city” built by resear chers who are testing out the driverless cars of the future.The controlled test environment, which opened today (July 20, 2020) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, covers 32 acres (the size of about 24 football fields) and contains all the trappings of a real suburb or small city. There is an entire network of roads lined with sidewalks, streetlights, stop signs and traffic signals. Theres even a “downtown” area complete with fake buildings and outdoor dining areas.The idea behind Mcity is simple: test out new driverless car innovations in a human-free environment before these technologies are unleashed in the real world.Mcity is a safe, controlled, and realistic environment where we are going to figure out how the incredible potential of connected and automated vehicles can be realized quickly, efficiently and safely, Peter Sweat man, director of the Mobility Transformation Center at U-M, said in a statement.The roads of Mcity are built to stand up to “rigorous, repeatable” testing, according to MTC officials. While Mcity d rivers dont have to compete with real pedestrians, there will be one mechanical foot-traveler (a robot-like machine named Sebastian) that steps out into traffic to see whether the automated cars can hit the brakes in time. The fake city also features a traffic circle, a bridge, a tunnel, some unpaved roads, and even a four-lane highway with entrance and exit ramps, according to a report by Bloomberg Business.In addition to evaluating fully automated, or driverless cars, the researchers also hope to test out so-called connected vehicles within Mcitys limits. Connected cars can either communicate with one another (vehicle-to-vehicle control, or V2V) or with pieces of equipment, such as traffic lights, that are located near roadways (vehicle-to-infrastructure control, or V2I).Even the smallest details of Mcity have been planned out in advance to copy the conditions that connected and automated vehicles could face in the real world. For example, there are street signs covered up with graffiti, and faded yellow and white lane markings line the streets.Mcity is just one part of a much larger project that MTC and its partner organizations are establishing in an effort to get a whole fleet of connected and driverless cars on the road in Ann Arbor by 2021. In addition to the fake city, MTC is also continuing to launch connected and semi-autonomous(半自动) cars on real roadways. Eventually, the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Transportation said they hope to put 20,000 connected cars on the roads of southern Michigan.28.According to the passage, Mcity _.A.is a real town used to evaluate the function of future carsB.is a fake city with transportation system but no pedestriansC.covers an area of 32 acres with as many as 24 football fieldsD.owns a downtown area with a bridge and some unpaved roads29.Why did researchers build Mcity?A.To test new driverless cars.B.To make a real suburb or small city.C.To control road environment.D.To build an entire network of roads.30.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.some connected and semi-autonomous cars have been put into useB.the researchers plans to create a robot-like machine to direct th e trafficC.the widespread use of driverless cars will soon come into reality in AmericaD.MTC is attempting to make connected and driverless cars available on real roads31.How does the passage mainly develop?A.By presenting descriptions of the d esign.B.By describing a cause and its effects.C.By providing the time order.D.By comparing the opinions.DMany leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades, artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs, forever changing life on Earth.The reason why many reject this as science fiction is that weve traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.From my point of view, as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind of information-processing performed by elementary particles (基本粒子) moving around, and there is no law of physics that says one cant build machines more intelligent than us in all ways. This suggests that weve only seen the tip of the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that is potential in nature and use it to help humanity.If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence, amplifying (扩大) our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrows toughest problems. For example, why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for? Why not grow productivity and prosperity(繁荣) through automation and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable (可持续的) energy?Im optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our technology and the wisdom with which we manage it. But this requires giving up our outdated strategy of learning from mistakes. That helped us win the race with less powerful technology: We messed up with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器), and we messed up with cars and then invented seat belts. However, its an awful strategy for more powerful technologies, such as nuclear weapons or superintelligent AI where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right the first time.32.How do many people feel about leading AI researchers predictions?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Curious.D.Disappointed.33.What can we infer about intelligence according to the writer?A.It is too difficult to understand.B.It only belongs to human beings.C.We know little about it.D.We have a good command of it.34.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “upside” in Paragraph 4?A.Intelligence.B.Advantage.C.Potential.D.Cost.35.How can we win the race between people and technology?A.By increasing our intelligence.B.By learning from mistakes.C.By making accurate predictions.D.By avoiding making mistakes.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。Learning another language isnt easy, but most people can learn a second language well if theyre willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.36_Language learning is cumulative(积累): you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark.Distribute(分配)your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day.Study a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during half an hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing conversations, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar 37_About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation(背诵) or practice.Take part in every class - even if you arent well prepared38_Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. Spend a few minutes “warming up” before each class by speaking or reading the language.Make yourself comfortable in the classroomGet to know your classmates, so youll feel youre among friends. 39_For example: you explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.Learn grammar if you dont already know itGrammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.Practice for tests by doing what youll have to do on the testIf the test will require you to write, then study by writing-including spelling and accents. 40_Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms. Over learning is also required in tests preparation: study beyond the paints of recognition to mastery.Develop a good attitudeHave a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.A.Have more practice in listening.B.Study every day.C.If youre asked to listen, practice listening.D.Class time is your best opportunity to practice.E.So youll at least have looked at it all.F.Visit your teacher during office hours to get acquainted (熟悉的).G.The more you study, the higher mark you will get.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。William Weaver was one of 14 black students integrating(使融合进入) the allwhite West High School.
