15、 been gradually disappearing from this nice scenery during the past several years. What has happened to them?Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more serious than people expected.

19、Butterfly Conservation, said, “A great number of butterflies around us is a signal that all is well with nature. But when they decline, its a warning that other wildlife will be soon heading the same way.”The survey is still going on. The public is also encouraged to focus on the UKs butterfly popul

32、da think about these situations a lot. They have been running into black bears more and more often. This is frightening and dangerous for both bears and people.The number of cases of people and bears running into each other has gone up. In 1978, just one case was reported. In 2002, 1,340 cases were

33、reported. These cases are called “conflicts”. Studies show that the number of conflicts in Florida is going up.Some people think that human-bear conflicts are going up in Florida because there are more bears. Actually, its just the opposite. The number of bears is going down. In the early 1900s, the

34、re were about 12,000 black bears in Florida. Today, no one is really sure how many black bears are left. People think the number is from 1,500 to 3,000.

In 2011, Americas Fa

45、vorite Quiz Show held a competition between two men and an IBM computer named “Watson”. IBM describes Watson as “a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns.” Both men thought they could beat Watson. Instead, the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly beat b

46、oth of the human beings.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human-like intelligence, such as problem-solving and learning. In order to be considered AI, the computer must pass the Turing test, named after Turing, a British mathematician who wo

47、rked with the first computer.In the 1950s, Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting（互动） with an actual human being. He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a “machine”believed they were actually interacting

48、with a human being, then the computer could be considered as AI.A simple example of AI is Apples Siri. Ask Siri to do anything, from calling a friend to booking a dinner table, and Siri can do them. Siri seems almost to be a human being. When you ask, “Are you a real person?” Siri answers, “That is

49、a really personal question.”But just because a system can behave like a human being, that does not mean it can think like humans, Or, does it?JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINEIt seems that our devices（设备）will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They

50、 volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it will take to drive to work.Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being, like with Siri. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think. If it has not al

51、ready happened, it will likely happen in the near future.Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings? Although computers have the ability to make our life better, is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems

52、pretty clear that in the future, were going to see a human-machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger, live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, believes that within 50 years, the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will be a part of every

53、 technology that humans create. Will it turn out be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten（威胁到） humanity as we know it? If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimovs 3 Laws of Robotics, humans wont have a problem with machines; but for some, evil AI still stands in the way

54、 of a peaceful and safe life on Earth.1The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that _.Athe age of machines has comeBhumans make their own enemiesCAI has actually come into our lifeDhumans are playing a dangerous game2From the passage, we can learn that _.ATuring test was designed t

T

57、his also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 BCto the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to

58、 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is

59、because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that mor

60、e artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed becau
