B．Tolerant.C．Doubtful. D．Approving.解析：选C推理判断题。根据最后一段查利说的话“Idon'tseeanyreasontothinkthatasmachinesbecomemoreintelligent...theywouldwanttodestroyusordoharm”可知，查利的观点是：没有理由认为，当机器变得更加智能时，它们就会毁灭或伤害人类。因此，查利对人工智能会对人类造成潜在威胁是持怀疑态度的。故选C项。11．Whatisthebesttitleofthepassage?A．AI,FriendorCompetitor?B．AI,FriendlyorFrightening?C．AIVS.HumanBeings!D．AI,FrighteningorWorrying?解析：选B标题归纳题。通过文中不同专家对于人工智能的态度可知，有些人担忧人工智能会对人类造成潜在的威胁，而有些人却比较乐观。因此，B项作为文章标题最佳。DAfterthesummerbreak,Delhi'schildrenreturnedtoschoolandfoundanewclass:happiness.Itwasn'tawelcome­backjoke.Inacountrywheretopuniversitiesrequireaveragetestscoresabove9%,theDelhigovernment'sdecisionmarksashiftofemphasis(强调)fromexamstostudentwell­being.ManishSisodiaisDelhi'seducationminister.Underhis“happinessclasses”program,100,000Delhistudentsspendthefirsthalf­hourofeachschooldaywithoutopeningatextbook,learninginsteadthroughinspirational(启发性的)storiesandactivities.Childrenappearedinterested.“Weshouldworkhappily，”saidAayushJha,an11­year­oldfreshoutofhisfirsthappinessclass.“Whenyouworksadly,yourworkwillnotbegood.”MathteacherSonuGuptatoldhisclassaboutwhatscientistStephenHawkinghadachieved.Upstairs,SantoshBhatnagar,anotherteacher,toldtheclasstoclosetheireyesandimaginedoingsomethingthatmadethemhappy.“Ilearnedthatyoushouldlearntobelieveyourselfandthatthosewhotryneverfail，”saidDipanshuKumar,a12­year­oldinGupta'sclass.Someteachers,though,remaindoubtful.Theysaythepublicschoolsaretoocrowdedforclassesbasedsoheavilyonclassroominteraction(互动)．“Ifwehave80studentsinourclass,howcanwefolloweverykidinjust35minutes？”saidEnglishteacherBhartiDabas.Othersdoubtthatthehappinessclassescanchangethelong­lastingemphasisonexams.GeetaGandhiKingdon,chairofeducation,economicsandinternationaldevelopmentatUniversityCollegeLondon,saidthattherehaven'tbeenanystudiestoprovetheirworkability.Sisodia,however,believesthatchangesneedtobemade.Heasked,“Ifapersonisgoingthroughoureducationsystem(体系)for18yearsofhislifeandisbecominganengineer,butisstillthrowinglitterontheground,thencanwereallysaythattheeducationsystemisworking？”Thepurposeoftheexperimenttoteachhappiness,ManishSisodiasays,isforschoolstodevelop“goodhumanbeings”．语篇解读：本文是议论文。印度德里的学校新增了一门课程——“幸福课”。对此，人们看法各异。12．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“shift”inParagraph2mean?A．Plan.
