26、 U.K. astronomer Martin Rees says that in future, some people may decide to leave Earth in order to live on other worlds. Finally, he added, they might use high technologies to change themselves to adapt to their new environment.
“They will find themselves ill-adapted to conditions there, so they will redesign themselves using powerful genetic engineering (基因工程) technologies,” Rees says. “These techniques will, I hope, be kept under control on Earth; but those on other planets will be freer to try.”
“We should surely wish them luck in changing their children to adapt to outer planets. This may be the first step towards the development of a new species,” says Rees. He says that these “post-humans” could one day turn into “fully inorganic intelligences” which may not even need an atmosphere to live and may grow well in zero-gravity environments, which ordinary people are not adapted to. “So it is in deep space, not on Earth, that ‘brains’ may develop powers that humans can’t even imagine,” says Rees.
Rees also warns that human beings shouldn’t fall back on the idea that they can avoid disaster on Earth by heading deeper into space. “It’s dangerous to think that space offers an escape from Earth’s problems,” he says. “We must solve them here. Dealing with climate change is a doddle compared with changing other planets; there’s no environment in our solar system as mild as even the top of Qomolangma.”
This isn't the first time Rees has made interesting predictions. Last year, Rees predicted possible dangers of nuclear physics (核物理学) tests taking place on Earth. “Maybe a black hole could form, and then take in everything around it,” he said. However, some scientists were not worried about this prediction. Stefan, a physicist, said he wouldn't be “losing any sleep” over that prediction.
【1】What might be Rees’s prediction?
A.People might live on other planets soon.
B.Space technologies might be improved greatly.
C.People might avoid using genetic technology in outer space.
D.Space exploration might lead to genetically-changed humans.
【2】Which of the following might be a description of “post-humans” ?
A.They have better survivability.
B.They are sensitive to zero gravity.
C.They are as smart as ordinary people.
D.They cannot adapt to the global environment.
【3】What might the underlined part “a doddle” Paragraph 4 mean?
A.The top dog. B.A hot potato.
C.A piece of cake. D.A white elephant.
【4】What did Stefan think of Rees’s prediction?
A.It was doubtful.
B.It made great sense.
C.It required special attention.
D.It questioned many popular beliefs.

29、 The effect of artificial intelligence(AI)will be felt across various industries,and advertising is no different.From programmatic buying to e﹣commerce,AI is already changing how brands connect with consumers.The real future of AI in advertising will rely on people working together to create experiences which bring real value to consumers.
"Brands don't just exist because of what they say but because of what they do.They must create new customer interactions(互动),"says Ogilvy Consulting Senior Partner Pierre Robinet."These interactions have to be useful,sharable and personal,providing an essential service at the right moment and in the right place."
It is predicted that by 2020,85 per cent of customer interactions will be managed without the need for a human being.This presents a fantastic opportunity to rethink customer strategy(策略).How do we connect with an AI﹣empowered customer who speaks more than he writes,who uses his face and fingers to interact with his devices,who prizes a hassle﹣free experience?
"AI is going to influence the revenue(收益)structure of any company,"says Robinet."Sellers are always trying to be more exact in predicting which product you want to get from their platform.Amazon is already moving goods into their warehouses(仓库)based entirely on predictive demand,moving the model from'shopping then delivery'to'delivery then shopping.'"We are presently in an exciting period of experimentation,where brands and marketers are exploring the different possibilities and applications of AI.Decision﹣makers now must figure out how AI can influence business models and be a driver of growth.
In order to overcome fear and mistrust of issues like the mishandling of data,Robinet believes that each and every consumer should be equipped to understand these technologies so they can make a wise decision."On one side,we need more fairness and ethics(道德标准)in AI,as well as specific frameworks and rules to do so,"he says."While on the other,we need to give people the right tools,services and education,and motivate them to share their data."
【1】What is the author's attitude towards using AI in advertising?
A.Cautious.
B.Favourable.
C.Doubtful.
D.Worried.
【2】What does the underlined word"hassle﹣free"in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?

B.First﹣hand.
C.Convenient.
D.Professional.
【3】Why is Amazon mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To show AI can help entirely reshape business models.
B.To explain sellers always know customers better.
C.To prove consumers are likely to interact with machines.
D.To show AI can free people from tough jobs.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.People's fear of AI is increasing.
B.AI can help people make decisions.
C.More and more people are unwilling to share their data.
D.People must know AI well before they accept it.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.
We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
