二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

26、The AI research arm of Alibaba created a machine learning model that received a higher score on the Stanford Question Answering Dataset than humans. The database consists of more than 100,000 questions to test reading comprehension.

In early January this year the Alibaba AI software machine scored 82.44 on the test while humans scored 82.304. Besides, computers and AI have already defeated humans, for example in games such as chess. However, it seemed that language skills were superior in humans as machines find languages hard to master.

A large number of call center employees, often in developing countries, may be out of work soon if the AI robots are cheaper and as effective as human labor. Soon when you phone a company for information the conversation will go like this: “ We are sorry but all our robots are busy right now. We value your call. Please stay on the line until a robot is free to serve you. There are just 12 callers ahead of you.” A robot will serve you some popular tunes while you wait.

Si Luo, who is a chief scientist of natural language processing at Alibaba’s AI research group noted that questions such as “What causes rain?” can now be answered with a high degree of accuracy by robots. Si Luo said, “ We believe the foundational technology can be gradually applied to a lot of applications such as customer service, museum tutorials, and online responses to inquiries from patients, freeing human efforts in a new way.”

Si Luo’s team is working closely with Ali Xiaomi, a mobile customer service chatbot. Ali Xiaomi can be customized to be used on Alibaba’s platforms such as Taobao and Tmall. The new AI robots could answer consumers’ questions as they did the Stanford questions. The robots would look for the answers from prepared information. However, there are limits to what the system will be able to do. If questions do not have clear-cut answers, or the questions asked are too unclear or ungrammatical, the robot may not be able to deal with them.

【1】What can we learn about the Alibaba AI software machine?

A．It has been tested in some areas.

B．It has become popular since January.

C．It has offered a special learning style.

D．It has made people interested in reading.

【2】What does the example in paragraph 3 show about the AI robots?

A．They should have better language skills.

B．They may replace humans in some fields.

C．They need to be customized to serve customers.

D．They will be widely used in developing countries.

【3】How does Si Luo feel about the foundational technology?

A．Doubtful.

B．Worried.

C．Curious.

D．Confident.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph about Ali Xiaomi?

A．It needs to improve in some ways.

B．It is connected with another system.

C．It is a platform to show good service.

D．It can answer any questions accordingly.

27、There's something classy about having a piano in your home. It seems a sense of luxury to have one in your establishment. Depending on the piano you have, you need to follow some maintenance practices to make sure your piano stays in the best shape for the longest time possible.【1】

28、 Australia and New Zealand’s health organizations have given their advice on when to use sunscreen (防晒霜), suggesting Australians apply it every day to avoid bad health effects.

A Sunscreen Summit took place in the Australian State of Queensland. During the summit, representatives from some of Australia’s leading research, medical and public health organizations examined the evidence on sunscreen use and determined that in most parts of the country it is beneficial to apply sunscreen every day.

“Up until now, public health organizations have recommended applying sunscreen ahead of planned outdoor activities but haven t recommended applying it every day as part of a morning routine (惯例),” professor Rachel Neale from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute said. “In recent years, it has become clear that the DNA damage causes skin cancer and melanoma(黑色素瘤), which is caused by repeated small exposure to sunlight over a period of time,” Neale said. “In Australia, we get a lot of sun exposure from everyday activities such as alking to the bus stop or train station,” Neale said.

A study showed that one in two Australians believed it was unhealthy and potentially dangerous to use sunscreen every day. However, Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia says it is wrong. “There is consistent and compelling evidence that sunscreens are safe,” Slevin said. “Importantly, medical trials have found that people who use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin d as those who don’t,” Slevin added.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world which is made worse by the country’s close to Antarctica where there is a hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层), letting in higher numbers of UV rays.

【1】What made Australian health organizations advise Australians to use sunscreen?

A.The makers of sunscreen.

B.Australian government.

C.The Sunscreen Summit.

D.New Zealand’s researchers.

【2】What is not recommended before the Sunscreen Summit?

A.Using sunscreen before outdoor activities.

B.Using sunscreen as a morning routine.

C.Reducing the use of sunscreen.

D.Reducing outdoor activities.

【3】What is the misunderstanding of many Australians?

A.People using sunscreen won’t have skin cancer.

B.Sunscreen will never take effect.

C.People using sunscreen have the same levels of vitamin

D.D. Sunscreen is bad for people’s health.

【4】Which of the following best explains “compelling” underlined in paragraph 4?

A.Interesting. B.Disappointing.

C.Boring. D.Convincing.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I did not know why I had chosen to be here. It felt as though my mind were at home, sitting and watching television, feeling relaxed and having fun, and yet my body was standing here in absolute fear. I looked in the mirror again. My face had been washed clean before applying the heavy make-up. My skin looked deathly white and powdered so that there was no shininess. My eyes looked dark and I was wearing lipstick. I should have been thrilled that I was allowed to wear make-up, but somehow, this didn’t feel like a treat.

Now I had to wait. How easy it should be to simply wait but this felt like a never-ending suffering. I stared at my white shoes as I stretched my feet, trying to distract myself from the way I felt. This dressing room was not small, but there were lots of girls in here. Mum and Dad were sitting in the audience but I was missing them so much. I wished they had been here with me. They were only on the other side of the stage, but that felt like a world away. The speaker asked for the black swans (天鹅) to get ready and as a sudden rush of girls danced into line and headed off towards the stage, I knew that I would be called next. My hands felt wet and sticky. I did not want to go on stage. I did not want the audience staring at me as I performed.

I tried to sit down but it was difficult when you were wearing a tutu (芭蕾舞裙). I wanted to rest my forehead on the mirror, but I knew that I would ruin my make-up and that wouldn’t do. The speaker was asking again, “Calling for white swans, will all white swans make their way to the stage?” I shook my arms, and joined the queue of other white swans. I felt really faint now and I wanted to be sick. I looked around in desperation, waiting to catch the eye of someone, anyone, who could get me out and save me.

注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

2. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。

The music started and a girl beside me caught my hand with a comforting smile.
