21、Computers have beaten human world champions at chess and, earlier this year, the board game Go(围棋). So far, though, they have struggled at the card table. So we challenged one AI(artificial intelligence) to a game.

Why is poker so difficult? Chess and Go are “information complete” games where all players can see all the relevant information. In poker, other players’ cards are hidden, making it an “information incomplete” game. Players have to guess opponents’ hands from their actions----tricky for computers. Solving poker could lead to many breakthroughs, from cyber security to driverless cars.

Scientists believe it is only a matter of time before AI once again vanquishes humans, so our human-machine match comes up in a game of Texas Hold’s Em Limit Poker. The AI was developed by Johannes Heinrich, a researcher studying machine learning at UCL. It combines two techniques: neural(神经的)networks and reinforcement learning(强化学习).

Neural networks, to some degree, copy the structure of human brains: their processors are highly interconnected and work at the same time to solve problems. They are good at spotting patterns in huge amounts of data. Reinforcement learning is when a machine, given a task, carries it out, learning from mistakes it makes. In this case, it means playing poker against itself billions of times to get better.

Mr Heinrich told Sky News: “Today we are presenting a new procedure that has learned in a different way, more similar to how humans learn. In particular, it is able to learn abstract patterns, represented by its neural network, which allow it to deal with new and unseen situations.”

After two hours of quite defensive play, from the computer at least, we called it a draw.

【1】Why can’t the computer beat humans at the poker game?

A. Because humans are cleverer than the computer

B. Because humans practice playing the poker game every day

C. Because the computer can’t learn the regular rules of the poker game

D. Because the computer can’t know the other players’ cards completely

【2】What does the underlined word “vanquishes” in Paragraph 3mean?

A. Leaves   B. Defeats

C. Cheats   D. Serves

【3】What do we know about the reinforcement learning of AI?

A. It solves problems correctly every time

B. It is the same as the learning of humans

C. It learns from the mistakes appearing in a task

D. It is more developed than the studying ways of humans

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A. The new procedure of AI has some features of humans

B. Computers are stronger than humans in every aspect

C. Humans will beat computers at playing poker forever

D. Scientists feel unhappy about the result of the poker game

22、A wooden ship reaches the shore after crossing the Atlantic Ocean to this remote spot. The explorers aboard hope to establish a settlement here, in what is now Newfoundland, an island in eastern Canada. They’ll build homes and repair ships-perhaps preparing for more voyages farther into this unknown land. So who are these mysterious travelers? They are Vikings.

The word “Viking” means “pirate” (海盗) in their Old Norse language, and they lived up to the name. They were fierce invaders who lived between A. D. 750 and A. D. 1050, attacking lands outside their native Scandinavia (modern-day Denmark, Sweden, and Norway). Their voyages were recorded in stories called the Norse sagas (挪威传说).

The sagas tell of Vikings sailing west, likely toward Newfoundland. “Newfoundland has always been a focus in the search for Norse settlements,” Viking expert Neil Price says. “It’s one of the closest points to Greenland, where Vikings were known to trade.”

In 1960 archaeologists followed descriptions in the sagas to Newfoundland’s L’Anse aux Meadows. There they unearthed several artifacts, including foundations of longhouses, a type of building found in European Viking settlements. This made L’Anse aux Meadows the first confirmed Viking site in North America.

Archaeologist Sarah Parcak became interested in the search for North America Viking sites after the 1960 discovery. “If the sagas are true, then there must be other sites,” Parcak says. “But where are they?”

After studying the Canadian coastline, Parcak zeroed in on Point Rosee, some 400 miles south of L’Anse aux Meadows. Parcak’s team conducted a magnetic scan, or an X-ray of the ground. It showed high iron levels. Turns out that Vikings used iron to make their tools. Parcak’s team has done some digging, but they’re still waiting on test results to confirm what they’ve uncovered.

One thing they haven’t found is any flint (打火石) or pottery, which the Vikings did not use. Those items would’ve instead connected the site to Native American tribes or other European settlers.

If Parcak’s work confirms that Point Rosee was a Viking settlement, it helps fill in the map of where these explorers staked their claims. “A settlement there would suggest the Vikings explored more of North America,” Price says. “It might have served as a rest stop for trips farther south and west.”

【1】What can be learned from the passage about the Norse Sagas?

A．They were the first to refer to the Vikings as “pirates”.

B．They gave archaeologists clues about where the Vikings went.

C．They criticized the Vikings for their invasion into other countries.

D．They recorded the Vikings’ most voyages except those to America.

【2】What made Parcak’s team focus on Point Rosee?

A．Its being mentioned in the sagas.

B．Its unusual ground.

C．Its being close to the sea.

D．Its high iron levels.

【3】According to the Parcak, why is it important that they haven’t found flint or pottery?

A．It is evidence that Vikings may have lived there.

B．North America were not home to such advanced tools.

C．Flint or pottery turned out to be what the Vikings looked for.

D．The Vikings arrived long before flint or pottery came to be used.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Vikings turn out to be better explorers than we used to think.

B．New discoveries concerning Vikings throw light on their origin.

C．Archaeologists find a possible lost settlement of Vikings in Canada.

D．Stories about Vikings have been unearthed somewhere in North America.

23、   The seabird population on a small British island off the coast Devon and South Wales has increased quickly following the removal of rats.

There has been a growth in the numbers of Manx shearwater, puffins and guillemots on Lundy Island 15 years after a conservation project to remove its rats ended. The project was launched ‘in 2003 by the Landmark Trust, the National Trust and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds ((RSPB)) ), and aimed to kill the rats because they were the biggest threat to the survival of the birds. A cull (选择性宰杀)costing 50,000 pounds was used to get rid of 40,000 rats on the island when puffin numbers fell to fewer than 10 pairs.

Helen Booker, senior conservation officer for RSPB in south-west England, said the organization is delighted with the results. This study clearly shows how quickly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators (捕猎者)，" she said. "Of course, we had expected major population increases when the project was launched, but the scale of this recovery has far beyond our expectations. "

Dean Jones, the inspector on Lundy, which is managed by the Landmark Trust, said the recovery of the seabirds was a positive, but that it is important to remain cautious."It is exciting to see this level of recovery in Manx shearwaters, one of our most important seabirds. In spring the island comes alive at night with the sound of these amazing birds. The increases in puffins, guillemots and razorbills are also very encouraging for the future of seabirds on Lundy and we are maintaining our attention to ensure rats cannot return to the island. "

A recent study found that nearly 10 percent of endangered bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile species could be saved by culling invasive (入侵的)mammals such as cats and rats on 169 islands. But rat removal programs have been controversial with some animal rights activists, who have argued that the black rat is one of the country’s most endangered mammals.

【1】Why did British carry out the project to remove rats?

A. To kill invasive species. B. To save seabirds in danger.

C. To keep balance in nature. D. To decrease the rat’s number.

【2】What can we infer about the rat removal project?

A. It is favored by animal rights groups.

B. It started when guillemot is nearly dying out.

C. It has protected 10% of species on UK’s 169 islands.

D. It contributes to more increases in seabirds than expected.

【3】What will be done next according to Dean Jones?

A. Plan the future of seabirds. B. Speed up the recovery of seabirds.

C. Keep a careful watch for rats. D. Continue to drive away rats and cats.

【4】Where is the text most likely from?

A. A news report. B. A research paper.

C. A biology textbook. D. A medical magazine.

24、The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the woman to sit on the high court, felt like a personal loss to generations of American women, as well as young girls.

“For women, she was the most important legal advocate in American history. She changed the way the law sees gender,” said Abbe Gluck, a Yale Law School professor and former clerk of Justice Ginsburg. “The United States Supreme Court did not even recognize that the constitution prohibits discrimination based on gender until 1971-and that’s Justice Ginsburg’s case.” Young Ginsburg spoke out loud her dissent (异议) in the face of all the honorable judges in the court, “The court takes away women’s right to make an autonomous choice, even at the expense of their safety. This way of thinking reflects ancient ideas about women’s place in the family and under the constitution.”

In the 1950s, Ginsburg went to Harvard Law School, where she was one of nine women in a class of 500 students. There she became the first female member of the Harvard Law Review. Despite finishing top of her class when she graduated, she struggled to find employment. Eventually, in 1963, she became a law professor at Rutgers Law School, where she turned her attention to gender discrimination.

In the 1970s, the young Ginsburg convinced the entire nation, through her arguments at the Supreme Court, to adopt the view of gender equality where equal means the same--not special accommodations for either gender. She argued six cases before the Supreme Court as a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, winning five.

Gluck said, “Ginsburg cared deeply about our work lives and our personal lives. She got to know our children. She taught me what it means to lead a life committed to the causes of social justice. She demanded a lot from us, but she demands more from herself. I think it is absolutely extraordinary that Justice Ginsburg was both a hero to the women of the 1970s and then an icon to the little girls of today.”

【1】What probably turned Ginsburg’s focus to unfair gender treatment?

A．Her own experience in seeking a job.

B．Her knowledge acquired in law classes.

C．Her work as a lawyer in Supreme Court.

D．Her struggle in learning in Harvard Law School.

【2】What did Ginsburg voice fur in the 1970s?

A．Social stability.

B．Gender difference.

C．Better quality of life.

D．Equal rights for women.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Ginsburg?

A．Generous and modest.

B．Brave and demanding.

C．Ambitious and tolerant.

D．Considerate and humorous.

【4】What is the suitable title for the text?

A．The Most Important Legal Advocate

B．Ruth Bader Ginsburg: An Influential Figure

C．Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Hero for Gender Equality

D．An Outstanding Graduate From Harvard Law School
