21、   Technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, GIS and Mapping, Location Technology and autonomous machines are playing a growing role in responding to COVID-19 pandemic.

An important policy for authorities across the globe right now is to prevent the spread of the virus. To ensure it, they are taking unprecedented （空前的） measures to reduce people-to-people contact. Most countries took measures like the closure of non-essential public places, ban of mass gatherings and ensuring a social distancing to limit physical contact.

However, in some areas where individuals are not obeying the restrictions knowingly or unknowingly, or do not know what the latest restrictions are, law enforcing authorities are using drones （无人机） to monitor people' s movement and break up social gatherings that could cause a risk to society. The introduction of drones at this time of crisis is reducing the risk of getting infected to police officials and other staff since it enables them to monitor a vast range of area without physical engagement.

In addition to street monitoring, authorities are also using drones to broadcast messages and information about lockdown measures, especially in rural area that lacks open communication channels for health information. Drones equipped with loudspeakers are used to make public announcements to keep people indoors, take necessary preventive measures, make social-distancing and wear a mask if stepping outside from home.

A Global Times video on Twitter shows a drone flying over a village in Inner Mongolia, warning an old lady with audio in Chinese, “Yes, Grandmother, it’s the drone who is talking to you. You should not go out without wearing a mask. You’d better go home and don' t forget to wash your hands.”

However, the use of drones raises a debate about privacy and individual rights on mainstream media as well as social media platforms.

【1】What role do drones play in responding to COVID-19 pandemic?

A．Helping us know how COVID-19 spreads.

B．Preventing the spread of the virus.

C．Monitoring medical staff and collecting infected cases.

D．Monitoring social activities and broadcasting lockdown measures.

【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A．Individuals are breaking the restrictions deliberately.

B．Authorities don't know what the latest restrictions are.

C．All people' s social gatherings could threaten society.

D．Police officials and other staff are at less risk with drones.

【3】Why is a Global Times video on Twitter mentioned in the text?

A．To show drones work well without physical engagement.

B．To show drones have positive effects but sometimes scary.

C．To show people in rural area are curious about drones.

D．To show people in rural area are resistant to drones.

【4】What might be discussed in the following paragraph?

A．The great demand for drones.

B．Different comments on the use of drones.

C．How to update drones.

D．How to protect people' s privacy and individual rights.

22、   Think of the many different ways you enjoy fish or other seafood: steaming fish ball soup, grilled salmon, boiled shrimp and more. Now think about not having this delicious food because of no more fish and seafood. You would likely miss them a lot, and not just you. Nearly half of the world’s population relies on seafood as a major source of protein.

Harvesting fish and other sea life isn’t bad for the ocean, but harvesting it faster than it can recover is. This is called overfishing, and the number of overfished wild stocks has tripled in the past 50 years. Overfishing affects not only a food source but many economies. Many businesses and jobs depend on fishing for their livelihoods. When fish stocks shrink, people lose their means of supporting themselves and their families. Worldwide, fishing is US $362 billion business. Over 4 million fishing boats sail the waters of the world. Many boats are becoming increasingly efficient, which increases overfishing.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, one third of the world’s fisheries are being pushed beyond their natural limits. Overfishing goes hand in hand with bycatch (误捕的鱼). This means unwanted sea life is captured along with the desired catch and is thrown away. Thus, billions of fish along with seabirds, sea turtles and millions of sharks are lost.

The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has been working with scientists, fisheries and seafood producers for over 20 years. They have developed standards promoting sustainable fishing. When fisheries meet MSC’s standards, the oceans and those who make a living from them are protected. Around 15 percent of wild-capture fisheries are now MSC certified. And Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPS) in many countries are working to increase that percentage.

What can you do? Look for MSC’s blue fish label, which appears on over 30,000 products and menus in almost 100 countries. Buying a product with this label means you’re supporting a fishery that is contributing to healthier oceans.

【1】Which of the following opinions will the author favor?

A．We need to develop more fish recipes.

B．Many people consider seafood as nutritious.

C．You can never eat fish and other seafood too much.

D．It’s great to treat your friends to tasty seafood.

【2】What can be inferred from paragraph 2?

A．Many people live by fishing.

B．Overfishing isn’t always bad for the ocean.

C．Fishing economies are picking up soon.

D．Many boats have no fish to catch.

【3】What measure has been taken concerning overfishing?

A．Bycatch is thrown back.

B．More investment is put in fisheries.

C．All the countries are called on to conserve the ocean.

D．Some requirements for green fishing are made.

【4】What's the author’s suggestion for readers?

A．Buying the seafood with MSC’s certification.

B．Looking for MSC’s blue fish label worldwide.

C．Making contributions to fishing in eco-friendly environment.

D．Predicting about the oceans and the fish for years to come.

23、   During the day, this 20-year-old man from Birmingham, England, who wishes to remain anonymous (匿名的), is a waiter. But by night, he is a real-life superhero, doing heroic things, like feeding the homeless. Wearing a Spider-Man suit to anonymously deliver sandwiches to those in need, he is well-known as the Birmingham SpiderMan, and hopes that his work will show others that everyone deserves a helping hand--no matter their situation.

The young man began doing charitable work years ago, but started his nighttime routine about 3 months ago. At about 9 p. m. every evening, he purchases sandwiches with his own money and then walks--like a comic book hero-to an alley where he can quietly slip into his “uniform.” He then continues to walk 6 streets handing out sandwiches to the hungry and homeless.

While wearing a superhero costume might just seem like a “fun” idea, he says that it actually draws attention to the cause. “Before when I was handing out food, no one would take a second look,” he said. “But when they see SpiderMan handing out the food they come over and ask what I'm doing and are really interested. Most importantly they become inspired to get involved themselves and start to do the charitable work.”

The anonymous man's deeds have already gained support from around the Birmingham community, inspiring some of its members to offer money. But the do-gooder does not accept cash donations--instead he urges them to get out and get involved as well. He is certainly an inspiring example of how one can “Be the Change” they wish to see in the world.

【1】Which is true about this young man?

A．He is well-known for being a waiter.

B．He plays the role of Spider-Man for a show.

C．He devotes himself to helping needy people.

D．He makes a living by delivering sandwiches.

【2】How is paragraph 2 developed?

A．By comparison.

B．By offering data.

C．By giving examples.

D．By giving descriptions.

【3】Why is this young man dressed as a SpiderMan?

A．To look like a real-life superhero.

B．To entertain the homeless people.

C．To attract people's attention to charity.

D．To get himself involved in charitable work.

【4】Which words can best describe this young man?

A．Greedy and funny.

B．Caring and selfless.

C．Devoted and wealthy.

D．Positive and objective.

24、This year marks exactly two centuries since the publication of “Frankenstein; or, The Modem Prometheus,” by Mary Shelley. Even before the invention of the electric light bulb, the author produced a remarkable work of speculative fiction that would foreshadow (预示) many ethical questions to be raised by technologies yet to come.

Today the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (Al) raises fundamental questions: “What is intelligence, identity, or consciousness? What makes humans humans?” What is being called artificial general intelligence, machines that would imitate the way humans think, continue to puzzle scientists. Yet humans remain fascinated by the idea of robots that would look, move and respond like humans, similar to those depicted on sci-fi TV series such as “Humans”. Just how people think is still far too complex to be understood, let alone reproduced, says David Eagleman, a Stanford University neuroscientist. “We are just in a situation where there are no good theories explaining what consciousness actually is and how you could ever build a machine to get there.”

But that doesn’t mean crucial ethical issues involving AI aren’t at hand. The coming use of autonomous vehicles, for example, poses thorny (棘手的) ethical questions. Human drivers sometimes must make split-second decisions. Their reactions may be a complex combination of instant reflexes, input from past driving experiences, and what their eyes and ears tell them in that moment. AI “vision” today is not nearly as sophisticated as that of humans. And to anticipate every imaginable driving situation is a difficult programming problem.   

Whenever decisions are based on masses of data, “you quickly get into a lot of ethical questions,” notes Tan Kiat How, chief executive of a Singapore-based agency that is helping the government develop a voluntary code for the ethical use of Al. Along with Singapore, other governments and mega-corporations are beginning to establish their own guidelines. Britain is setting up a data ethics center India released its Al ethics strategy this spring.

On June 7 Google promised not to design or employ Al that would cause “overall harm,” or to develop Al-directed weapons or use AI for surveillance (监视) that would break international norms (规则). It also promised not to employ AI whose use would violate international laws or human rights.

While the statement is vague, it represents one starting point. So does the idea that decisions made by Al systems should be explainable, transparent, and fair.

To put it another way: How can we make sure that the thinking of intelligent machines reflects humanity’s highest values? Only then will they be useful servants and not Frankenstein’s out-of-control monster.

【1】Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein is mentioned because it________.

A．fascinates AI scientists all over the world

B．has remained popular for as long as 200 years

C．involves some concerns raised by Al today

D．has sparked serious ethical controversies

【2】In David Eagleman’s opinion, our current knowledge of consciousness________.

A．helps explain artificial intelligence

B．can be misleading to robot making

C．inspires popular sci-fi TV series

D．is too limited for us to reproduce it

【3】The solution to the ethical issues brought by autonomous vehicles________.

A．can hardly ever be found

B．is still beyond our capacity

C．causes little public concern

D．has aroused much curiosity

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．AI’s Future: In the Hands of Tech Giants

B．Frankenstein, the Novel Predicting the Age of AI

C．The Conscience of AI: Complex but Inevitable

D．AI Shall Be Killers Once Out of Control
