21、   Robots are increasingly being developed to think and act like humans. But one common human quality that has been difficult for engineers to recreate in machines is humor.

Most robots are powered by artificial intelligence, or AI. Some have performed better than humans in tests designed to measure machine intelligence.

Computer scientists have also hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed.

Kiki Hempelmann is a computational language expert who studies humor at Texas A&M University. “Artificial intelligence will never get jokes like humans do,” he told the Associated Press. The main problem, Hempelmann says, is that robots completely miss the context of humor.

Tristan Miller is a computer scientist and linguist at Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany. In one research project, he studied more than 10,000 puns(双关语).

Puns are a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music; or, “pop” can be the sound a balloon makes when it explodes.

But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand.

Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm(讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another.

But Texas A&M’s Kiki Hempelmann is not sure such attempts are a good idea. “Teaching AI systems humor is dangerous because they may find it where it isn’t, and they may use it where it’s inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks it is funny,” he added.

【1】Which is difficult for robots to gain according to the passage?

A.Thinking. B.Humor.

C.Intelligence. D.Action.

【2】What does Kiki mean by saying robots’ missing the context of humor?

a. They lack creativity and skills.

b. They have no sense of humor at all.

c. They don’t understand the situation.

d. They have no related ideas that make a joke funny.

A.ab B.ac

C.bd D.cd

【3】What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.The risk of teaching humor to AI.

B.The necessity of making AI smart.

C.The reason to keep robots humorous.

D.The possibility of robot understanding humor.

【4】Which is the best title of the passage?

A.To Be Smarter, Be Humorous.

B.AI can Get Jokes Like Humans.

C.How to Help Robots Learn Humor?

D.Why Robot Humor Mostly Falls Flat.

22、Heritage on the Edge

In an effort to preserve some of the world’s most famous landmarks，Google has announced a new project to transform a few of the most endangered by climate change into interactive 3D models，just in case one or all is irreparably(不能恢复地)damaged in the coming decades.

Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle comprises 27 buildings on top of an extinct volcano. It was home to many kings and queens. But old roofs and rainwater management systems will become insufficient as they will be unable to deal with the level of storm water associated with extreme weather events. Besides，if temperatures continue to rise，the rate of decay(腐烂)will increase further.

Kilwa Kisiwani

Kilwa Kisiwani was a regional center of the medieval trading civilization along the East African Coast. Its permanent architecture included ports，Muslim buildings，and the unique“stone houses”. However，the drier weather and subsequently heavy rainfall is threatening the stability of the ruins，causing the worsening of this exposed heritage site.

Mosque City of Bagherat

The Mosque City of Bagherat was once a lost city. It has many Muslim buildings，bridges，roads and palaces. A recent report stressed the increasing impacts of sea level rise and changes in salinity(盐度)on this community. Increased salinity not only makes much of the water undrinkable but damages structures.

Chan Chan       

Chan Chan was the capital city of Chimu empire，stretching for nearly a thousand kilometers along the coastline. The city planning reflects a strict political and social strategy. But site managers today face challenges in rainfall and droughts due to El Nino events and climate change that threaten to gradually wash the ancient city away.

【1】What do we know about Edinburgh Castle?

A．It was built along the coast.

B．It is the largest castle in the world.

C．It is in danger of being washed away.

D．It used to be the home of royal families.

【2】Which of the following phenomena is happening in the Mosque City of Bagherat?

A．Water pollution.

B．Water’s becoming salty.

C．Water shortage.

D．Water’s being overused.

【3】What is probably the biggest threat to the above sites?

A．Temperature rises.

B．Volcanic eruptions.

C．Sea water.

D．Environmental damage.

23、Located within the beautiful landscape of Wisconsin’s Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that poses a unique challenge for the local community. This hidden wonder is none other than a giant floating island. The island, composed of plants and trees, occasionally floats around the lake, causing a significant inconvenience by blocking a vital bridge. Later, the local people proposed a solution to this problem. Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.

Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog (沼泽) was transformed through flooding. Soon after that, many of the peat bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing spots for plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place. Over the years, these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands. As time goes by, plants take root, and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails when the wind blows, moving the entire floating mass around the lake.

Although the decades-old floating island does not relocate constantly, when it does, it causes trouble for the community by blocking the vital bridge that serves as the sole passage between the lake’s East and West sides. The only solution is to gather a fleet of boats, and not just one or two,but dozens of boats working together to push the island away. “It takes a community’s effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in,” said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision, as merely relocating (重新迁移) it a short distance may result in its return within days.

Some people have suggested blowing up the floating islands to get rid of the problem. However, the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for decades, and in that time a wealth of animal and plant species have made it their home. Therefore, local authorities prefer they be dealt with in a way that won’t negatively impact wildlife, highlighting the delicate balance between human convenience and environmental conservation. The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa’s floating island is evidence to the coexistence of humanity and nature, a heartwarming display of community unity, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique habitats that enrich our world.

【1】What does the underlined word “solution” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Building a new bridge.

B．Transforming the vast bog.

C．Moving the floating island away.

D．Reconstructing the local community.

【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The form action of the floating island.

B．The history of flooding in Lake Chippewa.

C．The abundance of species in Lake Chippewa.

D．The impact of the wind on the floating island.

【3】What do we know about the relocation work from paragraph 3?

A．It is usually finished within days.

B．It can only be carried out during windless days.

C．It is demanding in cooperation and precision.

D．It greatly disturbs the community residents’ lives.

【4】Why have the local authorities refused to blow up the island?

A．To save costs for local people.

B．To ensure the safety of residents.

C．To increase the bond between communities.

D．To protect the wildlife species on the island.

24、   In the middle of winter, when snow is falling in many parts of the United States，scientists have sounded a warning to people who plan to spend many hours in the sun this summer. The warming is: The sun's summertime rays are more dangerous than once thought.

A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of ozone in the atmosphere，which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach Earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.

Scientists first became concerned about the ozone layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter. The hole was caused by chemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they produce gases that destroy the ozone.

Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data from satellites and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctica. Low ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other populated areas in the world.

Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone destroying chemicals, the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban of the chemicals.

【1】What do we know about the hole in the ozone layer?

A．It was first discovered in the 19th century.

B．It only appears in winters of a year.

C．It can protect human from ultraviolet rays.

D．It was caused by particular chemicals.

【2】Which can best describe scientists' attitude to the condition of ozone layer?

A．Worried.

B．Scared.

C．Favorable.

D．Surprised.

【3】Why do people become more concerned about ozone layer?

A．Because the weather became worse and worse.

B．Because they knew ozone levels were dropping.

C．Because air pollution caused more cancer cases.

D．Because ozone destroying chemicals were banned.

【4】We can infer that ________.

A．people may not get skin cancer in winters

B．it is unnecessary to totally ban the chemicals

C．many countries have realized the damage of the chemicals

D．the situation become less serious in the past few years

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My son and I like to go to my parents’ home in the countryside. There are my warm memories, in which I was brought up with my parents caring and loving me without asking for anything in return. It’s also a paradise (乐园) for my son, whose curiosity, observation and exploration are met greatly. Everything in his grandparents’ yard, either from tiny flowers to big trees, or from tiny ants to big dogs attracts Tom.

Last month I took my son Tom to see his grandparents. When we arrived, my father and mother were so happy to see us. Tom’s grandma hugged and kissed Tom excitedly. Then his grandpa took him to the yard to play. My mom went to her kitchen to prepare our meal.

At lunch table, Tom told me, proudly, “Dad, I saw a hen flying.”

“You’re kidding me!” I said without thinking, “How can a hen fly?”

“Dad, to see is to believe. In the yard, the dog ran after the hen. Finally the hen was forced to a corner. When the panicked hen found no other way out, her wings suddenly beat wildly. She flew off the ground and screamed up to the roof. The hen escaped successfully. Dad, I didn’t know a hen could fly before. Why can a hen fly?”

I thought for a while and said, “Maybe because of love. The hen loves her own life. Although she was scared by the dog, she was still aware that she must spare no effort to save herself from the big enemy. It is the love for herself that stirs (激起) her inner power and she flies!”

Tom nodded. He seemed to have understood.

Last weekend we visited Tom’s grandparents again. This time I heard Tom shouting from the yard, “Dad! The dog is chasing (追赶) the hen again! Come to see!”

I ran out of the house quickly.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Being chased by the dog, the hen was running to a group of chickens.
