Artificial intelligence: Google’s AlphaGo beats Go master Lee Se-dol
A computer program has beaten a master Go player 3-0 in a best-of-five competition, in what is seen as a landmark moment for artificial intelligence (人工智能).
Google‟s AlphaGo program was playing against Lee Se-dol in Seoul, in South Korea.
Mr Lee had been confident he would win before the competition started.
“AlphaGo played consistently (稳定地) from beginning to the end while Lee, as he is only human, showed some mental weakness,” one of Lee‟s coaches, Kwon Kap-Yong, told the AFP news agency.
Mr Lee is considered as a successful Go player, having won many competitions in his career.
Go is a game of two players who take turns putting black or white stones on a 19-by-19 grid (棋格). Players win by
surrounding their competitors pieces with their own.
In the first game of the series (系列赛), AlphaGo won by a very small chance – Mr Lee had led for most of the match, but AlphaGo managed to build up a strong lead in its closing stages.
After losing the second match to DeepMind, Lee Se-dol said he was “speechless” adding that the AlphaGo machine played a “nearly perfect game”.
Experts said that Lee Se-dol had brought his “top game” but that AlphaGo had won “in great style”.
The AlphaGo system was developed by British computer company DeepMind which was bought by Google in 2014. It has built up its special skills by studying older games and teasing out so many kinds of ways of play. And, according to DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, it has also spent a lot of time just playing the game.
“It played itself, millions and millions of times and each time got a little better – it lea rns from its mistakes,” he told the BBC before the matches started.
This good circle of continuous improvement meant the super computer went into the five-match series stronger than when it beat the European player late last year.
Does this mean artificial intelligence i s now smarter than us and will kill us humans? Certainly not. AlphaGo doesn‟t care if it wins or loses. Does it mean that artificial intelligence will soon take your job? Possibly you should be more worried about that.
1．What had Lee Se-dol thought about the competition before it started?
A．He would beat AlphaGo.
B．AlphaGo would lead the match.
C．It was hard to tell who would win.
D．AlphaGo would have some weakness.
2．What happened in the first game of the series?
A．Mr Lee won by a very small chance.
B．AlphaGo had led for most of the match.
C．Mr Lee was beaten by AlphaGo finally.
D．AlphaGo built up a strong lead at the beginning.
3．What does the underlined phrase “teasing out” probably mean?
A．Giving out. B．Working out.
C．Running out. D．Pointing out.
4．The writer may agree that ______ in the future.
A．human will be killed by artificial intelligence
B．artificial intelligence will do everyt hing for human
C．people might lose jobs because of artificial intelligence
D．artificial intelligence will be much smarter than human

16、Everyone knows that chickens lay eggs(产卵). Most people know that all the other birds do as well. But have you ever thought about other animals that lay eggs? They include bees, snakes and some sea animals. When a mother lays eggs, many more babies can be born at once, or in a few days, because there is very little development inside the parent. Animals that do not lay eggs often have fewer babies. Animals lay many eggs because other animals may eat the babies. However, even though some of their babies are eaten, they will still have some more to continue their family.
Some animals that lay eggs do not take care of their young. Turtles come onto the beach and dig holes. Then they put
their eggs in the sand and leave. A turtle mother can lay as many as 150 eggs. When the babies come out of the eggs, they must find their own way to the ocean. They must learn how to live on their own. Many young turtles get eaten by other animals.
Most eggs have an outside shell that keeps the growing animal inside safe. The egg shell also keeps the young animal from drying out. After the animal is fully developed, it comes out of the egg.
The animal grows bigger and bigger. Then it can have its own young.
1．Why do animals lay many eggs?
A．Because other animals may eat their babies.
B．Because they use their eggs for food.
C．Because they want to have fewer babies.
D．Because they want to eat their babies.
2．What do we know about turtles?
A．They don’t look afte r their babies.
B．Baby turtles hate their mother.
C．Other animals can’t eat turtle babies
D．Turtle babies can’t take care of themselves.
3．Egg shells can be used to______.
A．make eggs more beautiful
B．make eggs more tasty
C．let the young animals dry
D．protect the young animals

17、“Everything happens for the best.” Whenever I faced disappointment, my mother would say this to me.
After I graduated from college in 1932, I decided to find a job in a radio station as a sports announcer (广播员). I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But unluckily, I was refused every time.
At one station, a kind lady told me that big stations wou ldn’t hire (雇佣) an inexperienced person and suggested that I try my luck at smaller stations. Following her advice, I went back to Dixon, where I had grown up. There were no
radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, and my father said a newly-opened store wanted a local athlete to work for it. I applied
for the job, but I was refused again.
“Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office, my frustration(失意、挫败)______“How can I become a sports announcer if I can’t get a job in a radio station?” I asked aloud.
While I was waiting for the elevator, I heard someone calling. It was MacArt hur. “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to broadcast (广播) an imaginary(想象出来的) game. He was pleased with my performance, he offered me a chance to work there.
On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words: “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous(先前的) disappointment”.

My name is Jackson. I'm a great reader with good memory. I rememberalmost everything I read. But I don't like to speak in class. When Mr.Knoll announced an oral book report, the idea of going up and having myclassmates staring at me while I talked filled me with anxiety.
As for the date, if the book report was due in two weeks, I would do itright then. Mr. Knoll, though, gave us a month to get the report ready, so Ithought I had plenty of time.
Finally, I chose Fire-Hunter by Jim Kjelgaard. It looked really interesting. I read the first few pagesand then I set it aside. I wasn't worried. I had plenty of time. Then the book got buried in the clutter(杂物）in my room.
Before I knew it, the date of the book report was a week away. Some kids had already finished. Iwas in a panic. I raced home and found the book. Trembling（颤抖），I turned to the back and discoveredthere were 218 pages! I read like crazy
The last day came. When Mr. Knoll called on me to give my report, I still had eighty pages to go.
The class looked sorry for me when I pulled myself forward. They could see my fear.
"My book is Fire-Hunter, by Jim Kjelgaard," I began slowly. Then I started to tell the story and theclass seemed interested. To my surprise, I discovered I was enjoying myself. However, I had no ideahow the book ended. I really
didn't know what came over me. I made up the rest of the story on the spot.The class loved it, and applauded as I finished.
At break time, Mr. Knoll called me over. "You know, Jackson, I don't really remember the book
ending that way."
I gulped（倒吸气）．
"You told a pretty good story，”he continued. "The assignment was an oral book report. You did a great job on the oral part’
"Uh, thanks," I said.
"When you actually finish Fire-Hunter, please come to me and give me the book report’
"Yes, I definitely will," I said. I knew I would never make that mistake again.
1．How long did Mr. Knoll give students to prepare the book report?
A．One week. B．Two weeks. C．Three weeks. D．A month.
2．We know from the passage that＿＿·
A．Jackson's classmates didn't like his story
B．Jackson was the first to finish his book report
C．Jackson had to give Mr. Knoll his book report later
D．Jackson was criticized for his bad oral book report
3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

19、例文Hello!
Dear Amy, thank you for caring.
Now I am working hard for the senior high school entrance examination. I have got good results in most of my subjects, but I am not happy with myself. I think I must spend more time on my studies.
My parents are really strict with me. However, they care for me as well. Once upon a time, I failed in my physics exam and felt stressed and sad. They had a close communication with me and helped me solve my problems and cheer up again.
My teachers are also ready to help us. They hope that we can realize our dreams. They tell us to try our best and not to give up. Life is always full of ups and downs. It's important not to be afraid of any kind of difficulty.
How about you? I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours
Li Ming。
