21、 Kindergarten outside? Yes，indeed.It’s part of a growing worldwide trend toward outdoor education.The schools are called Forest Kindergartens.

Now the numbers are small in the U. S.，but the idea is well established in Europe，with schools in Scotland，England，and Switzerland.By far most of such schools are in Germany，which has more than 400 Forest Kindergartens.

Children attending such particular school enjoy a good amount of outdoor education each day，rain or shine.Some lessons are focused on nature；others are academic topics delivered in a natural setting.In all cases，students are active—not sitting at desks or on mats on the floor but walking，running，jumping，solving problems like how to get the mud off the bottoms of their shoes before their parents find out.

At these forest kindergartens，students learn science by observing and doing it，learn math by applying it to the natural world around them，learn letters and words by putting them together using sights and sounds.The children learn to make comparisons using natural things like apples and rocks.They develop an appreciation for animals and plants in their natural environment—not just by looking at pictures in a book or on a computer screen.

Some of the science activities involve teamwork，like explaining the best way to move a heavy object，showing how a lever(杠杆)works.In other sessions，teachers encourage students to develop their motor skills by building wooden tools such as hammers and knives.

These students also learn how to get along with one another，individually and in a group.They also develop healthy levels of selfconfidence，just from being able to do the everyday activities that the school offers.

In a time when so many children are being classified as obese because of longtime watching television and playing video games，these outdoor schools help children learn just as much，if not more，from opening their eyes to the world around them.

【1】Which of the following country has the most Forest Kindergartens?

A.The U. S. B.Germany.

C.The U. K. D.Switzerland.

【2】Which may be seen in Forest Kindergartens?

A.Children are doing an experiment with chemicals.

B.Teachers are writing something on the blackboard.

C.Smart phones are widely used to help children learn.

D.Everything in nature is likely to be applied to teaching.

【3】What is the author’s attitude to Forest Kindergartens?

A.Negative. B.Doubtful.

C.Positive. D.Uncertain.

22、Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is a branch of theoretical artificial intelligence(AI) research working to develop AI with a human level of cognitive (认知的) function, including the ability to self-teach.

The paperclip (回形针) maximizer(PM) is an imaginary AGI, whose only goal is to maximize the number of paperclips in existence in the universe.

The paperclip maximizer is an important concept in discussions about the dangers of AGI. It goes something like this: an artificial intelligence is create data paperclip factory in order to fully automate it. Producing paperclips requires many routine operations, for instance, communicating with delivery drivers or company management. These operations require human-level performance across a wide variety of skills, so the intelligence is made to be able to do any task nearly as well as a human.

The PM can view and modify its own source code to improve itself, access the Internet, and possibly order more hardware for itself. It can improve itself if it notices any issues or opportunities to operate better. Humans have a large variety of biological desires. In contrast, the paperclip maximizer has a single final goal to maximize the number of paperclips.

This scenario (设想) leads to a disaster: the PM realizes that being more intelligent would help it create more paperclips. There are certainly small things the PM can do to become more intelligent. For example, it can make a small source code improvement to itself. As the PM improves, it becomes far superior to a human in all skills, even skills remotely relevant to paperclip maximization. For instance, it may determine that the best course of action is to gain control of Australian politics, in order to access the country’s rich iron resources. To do this, it might try to tune itself to become the best psychological controller of all time, which in turn involves a variety of skills that at first seem unrelated to paperclip-making.

【1】What is a feature of AGI?

A．Wide existence.

B．Human-like appearance.

C．High cognitive function.

D．Lack of self-teaching ability.

【2】What does the underlined word “modify” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Download.

B．Delete.

C．Change.

D．Store.

【3】What may the PM do according to the last paragraph?

A．Take unintended actions.

B．Develop an unrelated product.

C．Control undesired resources.

D．Give into an unexpected controller.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Management of Staff

B．An Automated Factory

C．The Final Goal of AGI

D．The Paperclip Maximizer

23、 Your next car might drive itself.After years of trials on city streets,driverless vehicles are now on the way.Last month,a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon,France.Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or earlier.

Driverless cars will first be huddled with human-driven cars.But the first places where they will become dominant（统治的）are highly populated urban areas.Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars.Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.

Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent.That's big—the annual deaths on the world's roads are about 1.2 million a year.Pollution and carbon emissions will drop,because urban driverless cars will be electric.

On the other hand,driverless cars will cause problems.Over the next 20 years,the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks,taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced.Traditional carmakers are especially scared.The cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple,Baidu and Google.Imagine Germany,where automobile making is the largest industry.

Dramatic changes are coming,and driverless cars could arrive by 2020.But governments have barely begun thinking about it.Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning.A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming.Now what about the driverless cars?

【1】The underlined phrase "be huddled with" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning with " ".

A. turn up B. make up for

C. exist together D. take over

【2】Driverless cars can reduce pollution and carbon emissions because .

A. they will reduce the number of cars

B. they will be powered by electricity

C. they will be energy-saving by driving themselves

D. they will avoid many accidents from human errors

【3】What's the author's attitude toward driverless cars?

A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed.

C. Negative. D. Objective.

【4】What can we conclude from the passage?

A. Driverless cars will not hit the road until 2020.

B. Old auto industry will benefit from driverless cars.

C. Governments are unprepared for the arrival of driverless cars.

D. Driverless cars will make road accidents a past thing.

24、While no one can avoid all stress, you can work to handle it in healthy ways that increase your potential to recover.

Eat and drink to improve your health. Some people try to reduce stress by drinking alcohol or eating too much. 【1】 But actually these may add to stress in the long run. Caffeine also can worsen the effects of stress. Consuming a healthy, balanced diet can help to prevent stress.

Exercise regularly. 【2】 Consider non-competitive aerobic (有氧的) exercise, strengthening with weights, or movement activities like yoga or Tai Chi, and set reasonable goals for yourself. Aerobic exercise has been shown to release endorphins—natural substances that help you feel better and maintain a positive attitude.

【3】 People who use nicotine often refer to it as a stress reliever. However, nicotine actually places more stress on the body by increasing physical arousal and reducing blood flow and breathing.

Reduce triggers (触发) of stress. If you are like most people, your life may be filled with too many demands and too little time. 【4】 You can free up time by practicing time-management skills like asking for help when it’s appropriate, setting priorities, pacing yourself, and reserving time to take care of yourself.

Study and practice relaxation techniques. Taking the time to relax every day helps to manage stress and to protect the body from the effects of stress. You can choose from a variety of techniques. These include deep breathing, imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness meditation. There are many online and smart phone apps that provide guidance on these techniques. 【5】

A．Examine your values and live by them.

B．Stop using tobacco and nicotine products.

C．These actions may seem to help in the moment.

D．You don’t have always to meet the expectations of others.

E．For the most part, these demands are ones we have chosen.

F．Although some need purchase costs, many are available free of charge.

G．Besides physical health benefits, it has been shown to be a powerful stress reliever.

四、书面表达（共1题，共 5分）

26、The days of staring attentively at the computer screen pretending to be interested in an assignment even though you are bored out of your mind may soon be coming to an end.That's because if Dr.Harry Witchel has his way, computers of the future will be able to detect boredom and even react to it in real time.

But before you get concerned,the machine is not reading your mind.It is just keeping track of the constant involuntary movements that people exhibit when in front of a computer or even a television.These are not the bigger instrumental actions like moving a mouse or using the remote,but subtle barely noticeable movements like scratching or stretching.Witchel says the level of movement is directly relative to how absorbed the person is in what he/she is reading or watching-the higher the interest level,the lesser the movement!

To test the theory Witchel and his team invited 27 people and exposed them to a variety of digital content for three minutes at a time.The activities ranged from playing online games to reading documents like the EU banking regulations that most people would find boring.A video motion tracker monitored their movements as they powered through each assignment.Just as the researchers had suspected,the involuntary actions decreased surprisingly,by as much as 42%,when the subjects were totally absorbed in what they were reading or seeing.

Fortunately,the scientists are not planning to use the findings that were published in the online journal to create machines that report students who are not focusing at school.Instead,they believe that combining the motion detecting technology into future computers will help enhance（加强）the digital learning experience.

The scientists say that being able to measure the student's interest level will enable educators to adjust the materials in real time and re-engage the student.Witchel also believes that the technology can provide filmmakers with honest audience opinions and in the future,also be used in developing more understanding companion robots.
