16、It seems that a cat and a mouse just can’t get along well. Cats always like to catch mice. When a mouse meets a cat, the mouse will try to run away as fast as possible.
Once upon a time, on a sunny fall afternoon, a young mouse ran around for fun under a tall tree by himself. He
kicked up a small piece of rock. The rock went up to the air then dropped down hitting a baby cat. The baby cat was only a few weeks old. She looked at the mouse and said to herself, “He must have lots of power because he could kick up a piece of rock to hit me.” She felt scared.
It made the young mouse very proud. He told his friends, the ot her mice, “Everybody says that a mouse is afraid of a cat, but today a cat was afraid of me.” So the mouse said that he would not run away any more. His friends explained that it was just an accident. The baby cat was too young to know a mouse. When the baby cat grew up to become a big cat, it would be different. So the other mice advised the young mouse that he must still run away when he saw a cat. But the self-important mouse would not take the advice.
One year later, the baby cat grew up and became a big cat. One day, under the same tall tree, when the big cat showed up, all the mice ran away except the young mouse. He remained staying there without moving.

17、The Rise of Artificial Intelligence（AI:人工智能）discusses AI technology and how it might affect humans in the future, but the fut ure is already here. In 2011, America’s Favorite Quiz Show held a competition between two men and an IBM computer named “Watson”. IBM describes Watson as “a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns.” Both men thought they could beat Watson. Instead, the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly beat both of the human beings.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLE
Artificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human-like intelligence, such as problem-solving and learning. In order to be considered AI, the computer must pass the Turing test, named after Turing, a British
mathematician who worked with the first computer.
In the 1950s, Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting（互动）with an actual human being. He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a “machine”believed they were actually interacting with a human being, then the computer could be considered as AI.
A simple exam ple of AI is Apple’s Siri. Ask Siri to do anything, from calling a friend to booking a dinner table, and Siri can do them. Siri seems almost to be a human being. When you ask, “Are you a real person?” Siri answers, “That is a really personal question.”
But just because a system can behave like a human being, that does not mean it can think like humans, Or, does it?
JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINE
It seems that our devices（设备）will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it will take to drive to work.
Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being, like with Siri. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think. If it has not already happened, it will likely happen in the near future.
Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings? Although computers have the ability to make our life better, is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
It seems pretty clear that in the future, we’re going to see a human-machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger, live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil, a computer scientist, believes that within 50 years, the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will be a part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten（威胁到）humanity as we know it? If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimov’s 3 Laws of Robotics, humans won’t have a problem with machines; but for some, evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on Earth.
1．The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that ______.
A．the age of machines has come
B．humans make their own enemies
C．AI has actually come into our life
D．humans are playing a dangerous game
2．From the passage, we can learn that _____.
A．Turing test was designed to examine the first computer
B．machines interacting with humans can be called AI
C．Siri can volunteer to book a dinner table
D．AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter
3．What does the underlined expression “a human-machine hybrid” in the las t paragraph probably mean?
A．A machine with a human look.
B．A human created by machines.
C．A body part robotic part human.
D．A robot that can behave like humans.
4．The passage is mainly about _____.
A．the history and future of AI
B．the advantages and disadvantages of AI
C．the examples of AI
D．the competition between humans and AI

18、“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.”
After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer(播音员). I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I was refused every time. In one studio, a nice lady told me that big stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced persons. “Go to the countryside and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said.
I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I had played high school football in Dixon, I applied(申请). The job sounded just right for me. But I still failed in the interview. At that moment, mom’s words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me a car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer. As I left his office, I felt sad. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadca st an imaginary game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday’s game!
On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again: “Everything happens for the best if you carry on. One day
something good will happen.”

2．The writer couldn’t find a job in Dixon because.

B．he did not pass the interview
C．he had no working experience
D．he had no interest in the job
3．Which sentence below is TRUE?
A．In all, the writer went to three cities to look for the job.
B．The writer took the train to different places to look for the job.
C．The writer gave up finally when he was refused again and again.
D．MacArthur gave the writer a chance to broadcast Saturday’s game directly.
4．The passage mainly tells us that .
A．it is hard to find a job
B．mother’s help is necessary
C．we should hope for the best
D．life is full of disappointment
