The Rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI 人工智能)discusses AI technology and how it might affect humans in the future, but the future is already here. In 2011,Americas Favorite 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 bested both of the human beings. Artificial 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 Alan Turing, a British mathematician who worked with the first computers. In the 1950s,Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting(互動(dòng)) with an actual human being. He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a “machine” believed they were actually interacting with a human being, then the computer could be considered as AI. A simple example of AI is Apple’s Siri. Ask Siri to do anything, from calling a friend to booking a dinner table, and Siri can do it. Siri seems almost human. When you ask, “Are you a real person?” Siri answers, “That is a really personal question.” But, just because a system can behave like humans does not mean it can think like humans. Or, does it? It seems that our devices(設(shè)備)will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They 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 already happened, it likely will 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? It seems 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 technology that humans create. Will it turn out to be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten(威脅到) humanity as we know it? If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimovs 3 Laws of Robotics, humans won’t have a problem with machines; but for some, evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on earth. 21 . The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that . A．the age of machines has come B．humans make their own enemies C．AI has actually come into our life D．humans are playing a dangerous game 22 . From the passage we can learn that . A．Turing test was designed to examine the first computers B．machines interacting with humans can be called AI C．Siri can volunteer to book a dinner table D．AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter 23 . What does the underlined expression “a human machine hybrid” probably mean? A．a(chǎn) human with a robot look B．a(chǎn) human created by machines C．a(chǎn) body part robotic part human D．a(chǎn) human that can behave like robots 24 . The passage is mainly about. A．the history and future of AI B．the advantages of AI C．the examples of AI D．the competition between humans and AI Expert(專家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指)with his eyes still closed, begging(請(qǐng)求) for one more minute to sleep. like thousands of students “ early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning. A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虛弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night. Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study last, they are able to work well in class. 25 . The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because__________ A．he didn’t have enough sleep B．it wasn’t time for him to get up C．he didn’t want to go to school D．he wanted his mother to wake him up 26 . In this passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may________ A．become too weak to sleep B．not work well in class C．go to bed early D．be weak in English 27 .

According to the passage, which of the following is right?_________ A．If you want to study better, you must work hard at night. B．Sleeping less means working hard. C．Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits. D．Students don’t have enough sleep because they have lots of homework to do.
