One weekend, I finally checkmated(将杀) my father on a ferry ride, which made me feel 25 .Two years later, I became the second board on my school chess team, with our top board being the best high school player in the state.

My most 28 game came in the final round. Our team was facing a high school which only excellent students attended. It was 29 a match between a special needs student and a smart soul. My opponent(对手) was playing well and kept 30 while I kept defending to keep my king safe. He spent long trying to break down my defenses, but could not find the final push. I 31 with more defensive moves, trying to make it as difficult for him as possible. With little 32 left, he started to make rapid moves. 33 he could make the final decision, he ran out of time.

She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute (聋哑) school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied to his mail sincerely. They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, Are you willing to be my girlfriend? Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100% better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should have a perfect and wonderful love.Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, Im going to tell your parents Ill be looking after you well with all my life! Galaxy was deeply moved.As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, This is Kazrim. Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.He said, YOU CAN TALK? It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.The four people were shocked all of a sudden.

AlphaGo，DeepMinds Go-playing AI，just defeated the best Go-playing human，Lee Sedol. But as we drink to its success. we should also begin trying to understand what it means for the future.The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that. in order to win against a player like Lee. AlphaGo was designed to adopt a humanlike style of gameplay by using a relatively recent development-deep learning. Deep learning uses large data sets，“machine learning”algorithms （计算程序） and deep neural networks to teach the AI how to perform a particular set of tasks. Rather than programming complex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo，DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves. Then，AlphaGo played against itself, tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time. The results speak for themselves.Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations. It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour. Commenting after his first loss，Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made. Demis Hassabis. one of DeepMinds founders，echoed this comment：“Were very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves. ”Unpredictability and surprises areor can bea good thing. They can indicate that a system is working well，perhaps better than the humans that came before it. Such is the case with AlphaGo. However，unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control. That Hassabis is surprised at his creations behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design. And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go，it raises urgent questions elsewhere.How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? How much of a say should corporations，governments，experts or citizens have in these matters? These important questions, and many others like them，have emerged in response，but remain unanswered. They require human，not human - like，solutions.So as we drink to the milestone in AI, lets also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now.43What contributes most to the unconventional move of AlphaGo in the game?AThe capability of self-improvement.BThe constant input of large data sets.CThe installation of deep neutral networks.DThe knowledge of Go rules and strategies.44A potential danger of Al is _.Athe loss of human control Bthe friendly relationshipCthe fierce competition Dthe lack of challenge45How should we deal with the unpredictability of AI?AWe should stop AI machines from developing even further.BWe should call on the government to solve these problems for us.CWe should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions.DWe should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything.46Whats the authors attitude towards this remarkable advance in AI?ASupportive. BOptimistic.CDoubtful. DCautious.Seeds on IceClose to the North Pole，remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago ofSvalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment，no grains，no gardens，no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanitys most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collectionmore than a half-billion seeds.A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change-will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity （多样性） of crops around the world，the Svalbard Global Seed Vault （地窖） represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation （贮藏） of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds：the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot，dry weather.Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed boxes，behind multiple locked doors，monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in belowzero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining （保留） their ability to grow for thousands of years.Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back in 2020, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy，impractical, and expensive idea.We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired，fed up，and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.The Seed Vault is about hope and commitrnent - about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant，long-lasting，and worthy of who we are and wish to be.47According to the passage, the Seed Vault is _.Aa tunnel where the collected seeds are displayedBa stone room that contains the seeds of endangered cropsCa seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agricultureDa lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops48The underlined word“viable”in Paragraph 3 probably means _.Amature BcleanCalive Dvaluable49Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _.Ahow the seeds are preserved Bwhere people keep the seedsCwhy the seeds are protected Dwhat people do to study the seeds50We can know from the passage that _.Athe Seed Vault offers a solution to climate changeBmost countries took part in rescuing the seed varietiesCthe Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversityDmany
