After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence (AI) AlphaGo, we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain. And in October, when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia, another privilege of being human was taken away. It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk right now.But we keep hoping that instead of “everything”, theres still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable.To Hao Jingfang, winner of the 2020 Hugo Award for Best Novelette, that “something” is our consciousness. “AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way, but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions Do I like playing Go? Do I want to play Go today? Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to?” she once said. In other words, computer programs dont have a choice to say “no”. They probably dont even know what a “choice” is all they ever do is calculate.And to He Huaihong, a philosophy (哲学) professor at Peking University, imagination and creativity are also what make us special. “A machine couldnt have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple”, he said. “Its human imagination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts, something that a machinewhich works by fixed rules onlycant do, at least for now.”This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans, we should probably “consider our quality at a different end of the spectrum (光谱)：creativity, originality (原创性), even plain illogical craziness, instead of hard-nosed (顽固的) logic”, he wrote.So maybe in the future, as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent, humans and A1 will learn to use each others talents for good. If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us, well have more time to create, think, and be busy with “being human”.29. What can we learn about AlphaGo, according to Hao Jingfang?A. It will be taught to say no in the future.B. It will be more intelligent than humans one day.C. It has difficulty answering personal questions.D. It is unable to think independently as humans do.30. What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans?A. Intelligence. B. Originality.C. The ability to make rules. D. The ability to make choices.31. What does the underlined word “overshadowed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Competed with B. Taken control ofC. Been more successful than D. Influenced32. What could be the future of AI according to the author?A. It will be used to help humans, rather than compete with us.B. It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking.C. It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields.D. It will be applied to provide driving service for humans.BShortly after my fourth birthday, my parents and I arrived from China in Sydney, Australia. It was 1991 and my mother had left behind everything she knewfamily, friends and career.Yet within two years, my parents marriage had broken down. After one particularly unpleasant fight, my mother left my father, taking me with her. With no family or friends, and in a country where she couldnt even communicate, she took me to Chinatown, the only area of Sydney she was familiar with. That night she laid me on a bench in Dixon Street, packing suitcases around us for security(安全). I will never forget the despair in her face that night.At around 4 a.m., a group of four young Chinese men noisily exited a club nearby. I remember them falling silent as they saw us. They approached and asked my mother why she was sleeping on the streets with such a young child. My mum burst into tears as she told them our story. Without hesitating, they warmed me up, took our suitcases, and drove us to their students housing.In the weeks that followed, the men looked after us with a youthful enthusiasm. Being poor students living on their own for the first time, they simply knew how to cook in a stupid way. However, they insisted that a child should have homemade meals. They quickly adjusted their lives around us, buying fresh food, cooking, teasing me to make me laugh, and advising my mum on how to sort out her life.Eventually, Mum reconciled (和解) with Dad and we moved back in with him, although they continued to split and make up several times.Gradually we lost touch with the men as we all moved on. But at every milestone of my lifegraduations, entering university, getting a good jobI never forget that all of this was made possible because 22 years ago, a group of complete strangers took us in and shared everything they had to save us from life on the street.33. Why did Mom and I stay in Dixon Street that night?A. We were waiting for the Chinese men.B. Mom was unfamiliar with Australia at all.C. It was safe to stay there for night.D. We had no other place to go.34. How did the students feel the moment they saw us in the street?A. Ashamed. B. Shocked.C. Amused. D. Nervous.35. What message is conveyed in the passage?A. There is no perfect husband or wife in marriage.B. Its the timely help to someone in need that matters.C. Its a great challenge for the Chinese to study abroad.D. Childhood memory contributes to guiding present behavior.第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20分）阅读下面一篇短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was the fool at school, regarded as a special needs student.
