"Sorry, but I don't agree with you..."This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend. I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego（自尊心）ishurt.
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be," If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either." But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, "I don't agree with the way things are done." She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth. That's when need to listen to what she says.
I've learned that one way to help my friend is for me to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback（反馈）from others,knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.

According to Oxford Dictionaries, morality means: “Principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.” Though morality is a rather subjective subject, there are some principles that are universal across all cultures found by an Oxford University study: “help your family, help your group, return favors, be brave, obey superiors, divide resources fairly, and respect others’ property”. The fact that these morals are found across 60 cultures from around the world demonstrates that morality, though subjective, is the cornerstone of keeping our societies together. Here are some reasons to be moral: without morality, a social life is almost impossible to maintain; having a good reputation and having a clear conscience is psychologically healthy; and most philosophies regard unselfish and principled behavior as important.
There is no doubt that without morals, a society cannot function effectively. A confused situation would appear, According to the Society of Morality, “We are social animals, and the actions we take-the things we do and the things we don’t do-have consequences on our environments and on the others around us. As a result, we need to be able to govern our behavior in the near term so as not to injure ourselves or our community in the long term. This system of controlling our actions and our thoughts in order to operate in a community is what we often refer to as morality”. Therefore, we need a set of morals in order to operate within a social circle and a social environment. Acting immoral usually results in being excluded from social activities or being avoided by a society based on laws and cultural standards. Besides acting moral having a sociological need, it also has a psychological basis. Most people are concerned to some extent about their reputation. According to PsyPost, “A lot of economic models of human behavior assume that people are only rational (理性的) when they narrowly pursue their own self-interest, but history shows us that people are also tremendously concerned with being and appearing moral”. So, the fear of one’s reputation being damaged is often a strong motivator to be moral. And if someonehas been immoral,most people go out of their way to make sure no one finds out, or to correct the behavior in order to not be caught. This goes in line with conscience as well. People generally feel in a better psychological state if they feel that their conscience is clean. A dirty conscience can result in a lack of sleep, anxiety, internal stress, and even illness.
On the side of philosophy, the study of ethics (伦理) comes into play. Most philosophers agree that one should rationally choose a set of standards of behavior in order to function. Though there is moral relativism, there are universal anthropological (人类学的) morals, as mentioned in the introduction. By the nature of our societies and cultures, we choose what we believe is right and wrong. But surprising, this rational behavior comes
to a general agreement on morals. So, there is a fine line between moral relativism and moral absolutism. But the main thing to take away from this discussion is that philosophers generally believe that each individual has the right to rationally come up with a set of ethics to live by, and that it is healthy to do so.
8. The author discusses morality (paragraph 1) in order to ________.
A. explain the relationship between morality and culture
B. describe the moral rules found all around the world
C. contrast the distinction between right and wrong
D. introduce the definition, principles and reasons of morality
9. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. acting moral allows us to fit into group better
B. morality brings the system of controlling behavior
C. contrast the distinction between right and wrong
D. introduce the definition, principles and reasons of morality
10. Which of the following is the psychological basis for acting moral?
A pursuit of self-interest. B. a clean conscience.
C. The concern about reputation.
D. a dirty conscience.
11. What does the author advise us to do according to the last paragraph?
A. To reach a general agreement on morals based on ethics.
B. to carve one’s own sense of ethics to operate in this world.
C. To choose between moral relativism and moral absolutism.
D. To exclude philosophers’ beliefs and solution as well.
D
Elizabeth Spelke, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the world’s most complex learning system-the mind of a baby. Babies might seem like no match for artificial intelligence (AI). They are terrible at labeling images, hopeless at mining text, and awful at video games. Then again, babies can do things beyond the reach of any AI. By just a few months old, they’ve begun to grasp the foundations of language, such as grammar. They’ve started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.
Yet even experts like Spelke don’t understand precisely how babies or adults learn. Consider one of the most impressive examples of AI, Alpha Zero, a programme that plays board games with superhuman skill. After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently
discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones. It certainly seems like a machineeclipsinghuman cognitive abilities. But Alpha Zero needs to play millions more games than a person during practice to learn a game. Most importantly, it cannot take what it has learned from the game and apply it to another area.
To some AI experts, that calls for a new approach. In a November research paper, Francois Chollet, a well-known AI engineer, argued that it’s misguided to measure machine intelligence just according to its skills at specific tasks. “Humans don’t start out with skills; they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills,” he says. “What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess, but the potential to fulfill any task of a similar difficulty.”
12. Compared to an advanced AI programme, a baby might be better at ________.
A playing games B. identifying locations C. labeling pictures D. making adjustments
13. What does the underlined word “eclipsing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Imitating.
B. Beating.
C. Limiting.
D. Promoting.
14. According to the text, Francois Chollet may agree that ________.
A. AI is good at completing certain assignments.
B. AI is likely to gain abilities with less training.
C. AI lacks the ability of acquiring specific skills.
D. AI performs better than humans in cognitive ability.
15. Whichwould be the best title for this passage?
A. What is exactly intelligence?
B. Why is modern AI advanced?
C. Where is human intelligence going?
D. How do humans face the challenge of AI?
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them.____16____: there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity.
Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, I said, “Now that we've finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating
leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”____17____.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer,____18____. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.
Thirdly,____19____. Once you have a child in a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Lastly,____20____. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.
A. show; don't tell
B. watch your language
C. no time for a child to think
D. Never push a child to wait
E. Helping them enjoy science can be easy
F. children are always thinking withoutyour telling them to
G. This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours

I'm worried that you've been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sorts of photo in your daily life. Of course，WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more color1 ful，which is very convenient for us to communicate with. However，there exists some potential risks if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy，that may cause economic losses. Besides，oversharing can make others uncomfortably，for they think you are showing off.
Thus，never should we post our personal information，or should we blindly add strangers to a list of fiends. It's much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful，such as reading books and taking exercise.
