26、Explore the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, which offers a relaxing setting for you to enjoy works of modern sculpture.

Chair Transformation Number 20B, made in 1996-by Lucas Samaras

Here, Samaras explores the double meaning of "flight", referring to both the starlike form created by the stacked chairs, and the movement of a single chair moving through space. From different viewpoints, the sculpture appears to be upright, leaning back, or springing forward. From the side, it even appears like a zigzagging(之字形的)line.

Typewriter Eraser, Scale X, made in 1998-by Coosje van Bruggen

The artist chose the typewriter eraser as his model for this work based upon childhood memories of playing with the object in his father's office. Here the brush arcs(作弧形运动)back, conveying a sense of motion, as if the wheel-like eraser were rolling down the hill and making its way towards the gate of the garden.

Moondog, model 1974, made in 1998-1999-by Tony Smith

The title itself comes from two sources: Moondog was the name of a blind poet and folk musician who lived in New York City, and Smith has also compared this sculpture to Dog Barking at the Moon, a painting by Joan Miro. He first created Moondog in 1974 as a 33-inch cardboard model and cast it in bronze as a garden sculpture in 1980. This version was designed by Smith, but it was not completed until after his death.

Cheval Rouge (Red Horse), made in 1964-by Alexander Calder

During the last two decades of his life, Alexander Calder devoted his greatest efforts to large- scale mobiles and stabiles(立式抽象派雕塑), many of which have become popular public landmarks in cities around the world. Here the silky legs and tensile(张力的)up-thrust "neck" recall the power of a horse. This stabile reflects Calder’s statement: "I want to make things that are fun to look at."

27、   The city of San Francisco is home to some of the nation's largest technology companies, including Twitter and Uber. At the same time, it has one of the largest homeless populations in the country. Homelessness and unemployment for local people continue to rise. But one program is helping connect the two worlds for these poor job seekers. Del Seymour created the program. He was once homeless himself.

Seymour spent years in a neighborhood known as the Tenderloin, an area with an extremely high rate of homelessness and unemployment. However, in recent years, large companies like Twitter and Uber have moved in or near the Tenderloin area. They started importing people from other regions countries to work in the neighborhood.

Seymour started making phone calls to technology companies. He thought it was unfair for the companies to ignore local people, including homeless ones. "You're not going to come in my neighborhood and ignore my people, "he said. “You' re going to include us in your business.”

To everyone's surprise, the companies started answering. As a result, Seymour started Code Tenderloin, an organization that is giving the homeless and other needy people a path to employment, including jobs in technology companies. It offers classes in coding for computer languages. It also gives six-week training classes in job readiness. The class teaches students  public speaking, resume building, interviewing and other skills. Code Tenderloin’s students visit technology companies to meet people, ask questions and learn from employees. Although only a small number of students have found full-time technology jobs, many others have got internships(实习) through the program. And many others have found other full-time jobs.

28、Hanukkah is an eight-day winter holiday, which celebrates the successful struggle of the Jews against King Antiochus IV Epiphanes of Syria. There are many traditions to celebrate the day, such as lighting the menorah (多连灯烛台),frying potato pancakes and spinning the dreidel (四面陀螺).

One night in the 1990s, we tidied up wrapping paper and toys while the lighted menorah stood on the kitchen table. When we were not there, as the many-colored candles broke, our long-haired black-and-white cat, Ladybug, jumped onto the kitchen table and brushed past them.

"Do you smell something?" asked my husband, Donny. "Is something burning?" asked Molly, our oldest, age ten.

It was Ladybug! The fur on her left side had been burnt. She wasn't hurt, but she wore an upset expression all evening, and for the rest of the week she hid whenever we began chanting the Hebrew(希伯来语)blessings over the candles. "Though her fur grew out as thick as ever, Ladybug took a dim view of Hanukkah after that, clearly preferring less flammable holidays, like Labor Day.

The following year, for fifth-grade homework about family traditions, Molly wrote about Ladybug's story with the Hanukkah candles. The teacher, Lynn Fink, a sporty and funny woman, enjoyed Molly's story and gave it an A.

Three years later, Seth got Ms. Fink for fifth grade. He also worked the burnt cat fur into a writing assignment, and he, too, got an A.

Our son Lee, three years later: the same teacher, the same story, the same A. We had no idea these retellings were piling up.

The year Lily got Ms. Fink for fifth grade, she also felt inspired to write down what happened that night. By now, we were very fond of Ms. Fink. We invited her to join us for a night of Hanukkah. It was her first time to experience the Jewish holiday. Happily, she ate her potato pancakes. Gamely, she spun the dreidel. Delightedly, she opened the small gift of home-made cookies the children had prepared for her. As the evening seemed to be winding down, she clapped her hands, rubbed them together as if before a big dinner, and said excitedly," So! When do we torch the cat?"

【1】What happened to Ladybug when the family celebrated Hanukkah that year?

A. She was seriously hurt that night.

B. She broke the candles on the menorah.

C. She had some of her fur burnt.

D. She got a surprising present from the family.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Hanukkah lasts for only one night.

B. The writer has at least four children.

C. The family saw Ladybug jump onto the kitchen table that night.

D. Frying potato pancakes is not a tradition to celebrate Hanukkah.

【3】Which proverb can best describe the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?

A. It's easy to be wise after the event.

B. Where there is a will, there is a way.

C. He that falls today may be up again tomorrow.

D. Once bitten, twice shy.

B. came to the writer's home unexpectedly

C. knew all the traditions of Hanukkah well

D.  thought people would torch the cat to celebrate Hanukkah

29、   Artificial intelligence has passed a classic theory of mind test used with chimpanzees.The test examines the ability to perceive the world from the point of view of another individual and so AIs with this skill could be better at cooperating and communicating with humans and each other.

To create their AI,Raul Vicente at the University of Tartu in Estonia and his colleagues were inspired by an animal study that looked at the feeding habits of dominant and subordinate chimpanzees."Chimpanzees have these hierarchical(等级制的)structures in their society and,in principle,the dominant one almost always gets the food,"says Vicente.

The chimp study showed that the subordinate(下属的)animal would only go for food that it knew the dominant animal couldn't see,suggesting an ability to place itself in another’s position.

To replicate this set-up,Vicente and his colleagues created a virtual 11-by-11 Grid in which they placed two AIs - one dominant and one subordinate – and a single piece of food in different orientations and locations.The subordinate AI was able to move within the grid,and was given points if it ate food that the dominant agent couldn't see, but lost points if it ate food in the dominant agent's sight. It learned via trial and error, in a process called reinforcement learning, whether or not to move towards the food.

A key difference between apes and the AI is that the AI required several thousand trials before it learned the task,while chimpanzees understood it intuitively.

Being able to understand the perspective of other individuals enables communication, cooperation and competition, says Vicente."It is absolutely essential for survival for any social species.”

AIs with theory of mind are key to building machines that can understand the world around them. In recent years,the skill has been developed in a robot whose memories are modelled on human brains and in DeepMind's ToM-net,which understands that others can have false beliefs.

The ultimate goal of this kind of research is for machines to become better at communicating with people,but it will be a long time before AIs develop theory of mind at a level comparable to humans,says Vicente.“It will be fun and effective to interact with these agents when they are able to put themselves in our perspective,”says Vicente,because AIs with theory of mind would be able to communicate things that we don't know or can't see.

But Joanna Bryson at the University of Bath in the UK says that AIs that develop the ability to see from other perspectives won't necessarily lead to machines that are more like humans, as there are other aspects of theory of mind that aren't yet well-captured in virtual tests.

【1】Which of the following statements about the chimp study is true?

A．The subordinate chimp failed to get the food due to their poor eyesight.

B．The inequality among chimps deserves our careful consideration

C．AIs can learn a lot from chimps so that they can become more user-friendly.

D．The chimp study offers a clue to developing Al's capacity to follow social patterns.

【2】The word "replicate"(Paragraph 3)is closest in meaning to“________”.

A．copy

B．publish

C．discover

D．review

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The subordinate AI could identify whether to eat the food from the very beginning

B．Creating AIs with a thinking pattern similar to that of humans is not a walk in the park.

C．It won't be long before we can develop AIs that can recognize others' false beliefs.

D．AIs can't match humans in theory of mind mainly because they have poor memories

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．AI can communicate well with humans as apes do.

B．There is a long way to go before AI thinks like humans.

C．AI learns how to imagine itself in another's shoes.

D．Chimpanzees are able to think from others' perspectives.
