24、We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.

However，one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.

Hawking is a well-known British Physicist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came from a serious disease called ALS; he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.

This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or go beyond human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution(进化), couldn’t compete, ” said Hawking.

But not every scientist is pessimistic(悲观的)about AI technology. “I believe we will remain in charge of（掌控) the technology. “ The potential(潜力)of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is going? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about AI？

A. The technology is not very popular now.

B. Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.

C. It is now much smarter than humans.

D. It makes our lives easier.

【2】The writer took Hawking as an example to ____________.

A. explain how AI has helped us

B. show the great hidden use of AI

C. show AI has already become part of our life

D. suggest that AI become dangerous for humans

【3】What would be the best title for this passage?

A. AI: a friend or an enemy?

B. The development of AI

C. The future of human beings

D. The fight between humans and AI

INFO BITES

Fight to the finish

In a match that was called “one of the greatest fights I’ve ever seen in my life” by fight commentator (评论员) Joe Rogan, Chinese MMA (mixed martial arts, 综合格斗) fighter Zhang Weili beat Polish fighter Joanna Jedrzejczyk on March 7.

Zhang, 30, and Jedrzejczyk, 32, squared off (打斗) in Las Vegas, with Zhang successfully defending her strawweight (草量级) UFC (终极格斗冠军赛) title. The fight was highly anticipated, as both women are known as top fighters among their peers.

Zhang’s training was cut by the novel coronavirus outbreak. It forced her to travel from Beijing to Thailand and then to Abu Dhabi before arriving in Vegas about a week later than planned, according to China Daily. Worse still, Zhang was offended (激怒) by a post on social media in which Jedrzejczyk seemed to make fun of the outbreak. In a mock poster that Jedrzejczyk posted, she wears a gas mask (防毒面具) standing behind Zhang.

Although the post was later deleted, Zhang said that she was fired up to make Jedrzejczyk pay for the tasteless joke in the octagon(八角格斗场).

In the end, Zhang scored a narrow win over Jedrzejczyk, with both ending up in the hospital due to the intensity (激烈程度) of their fight.

“All fighters deserve respect from one another in the octagon. I don' t like people hitting each other with trash talk," said Zhang following her victory. “We go for the championship with our punches (拳头) but we shall never end up being remembered as only talking with violence (暴力)."

“Now the virus situation is not just affecting China, but the whole world. I hope everybody in the world can stand together to fight the virus with a united effort,” she said.

27、Few kids today are taught the value of sympathy（同情心）. It seems so hard for people to show their love and care towards others and to actually understand what others are going through.

As a child I was taught to go out of my way to make someone else happy. My mom told me to say at least one kind word to someone else every day. I admit（承认） that it wasn't very easy to do. But as soon as you see the look of happiness in that person's eyes, you just want to do as much as you can do.

I had an experience with a guy whom people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening, I knew in my heart that it was wrong. I decided I would try to be his friend. I started walking with him and introducing him to people around us. I was making him happy by just doing that. And I loved the fact that I was making a difference in his life.

After a while I realized that he wasn't the kind of person everybody thought he was. We are still good friends today. People have almost completely stopped making fun of him. But he is still what he was. What changed was the attitudes of others towards him.

From this experience I’ve learned to be more loving toward other people. What I did for my friend was so easy. And at the same time I had a lot of fun. So I hope that everyone can say a kind word to someone else at least once a day. I can promise you it will be the best feeling you can ever get.

One kind word can make someone’s day brighter.

28、   I was fourteen, a thin, red-headed, unimaginative little tomboy(假小子）, fond of baseball.

Rudely transplanted from the life I had known-- a happy-go-lucky life in the brown hills of California-- I was l【2】  beyond words. The house was strange, the neighboring children were strange. I felt dry and hard and empty inside m【3】  day after day. I used to take my bicycle and r【4】 out into the  country, but the country was strange, too, and ugly , all flat and dull.

And then, o【5】 day I found White Creek Row. It was the town’s Hooverville( 贫 民 窟 ）, a row of shanties（棚屋）between the creek(小溪） and the railroad, little huts(简陋的小房子）l 【6】the playhouse that I had built back in the hills with the children of our Mexican gardener. But to my e【7】,  it was  romantic and  delightful as my aunt’s house in Braeburn Heights was not.

It was in White Creek Row that I made my first real f【8】  in Kansas. The people l【9】 in the row were  shy of me at first, as I was shy of the people in Braeburn Weights. My smart clothes, my bicycle, made me alien. And still, somehow or other, I m【10】 to develop a friendship with Posy Moreno
