Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能）is the ability of a computer program or a machine to thin and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to mae computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence" in 1955. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as we do.
An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn, solve problems, and thin logically(逻辑地）. At present we use the term Al for successfully understanding human speech, recogniing(识别）human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game
systems lie Chess and AlphGo（阿尔法狗）. Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quicly. Professor Stephen Hawing (霍金), a well-nown British scientist, was not for this ind of technology.
Math is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more liely to become successful AI designers in the future. We not only want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them the math sills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides, a good nowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.
Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.
23. From Paragraph 1, we now that .
A. all problems can be solved by AI
B. machines with AI can thin and learn
C. AI has been around for only 60 years
D. AI wors in the same way as humans

(D)
In our culture, the ability to mae one's own decisions is important. John F. ennedy's quote(引语）"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." shows an unpleasant truth.
Much of what we now and believe has been taught to us by others, and we often accept this information without spending much time thining it over for ourselves.
In today's world, we are being presented with information, ideas and beliefs, but many of them are against each other. Psychology(心理学）tells us that if we hear an idea enough times, or 心t comes from someone we respect(尊敬), we will probably believe that idea. In these cases, we base our opinions on the opinions of others. If each of us does not thin about this information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions , we will become nothing more than parrots（鹦鹉）quoting the opinions of others.
Eamples of spreading fae news without thought can be seen on the Internet. Some people believe whatever they read and then share the story without thining about the facts. All it taes is one quic clic(点击）of the "share" button, and the story travels on its way to influence even more unthining readers. This can cause serious problems.
If we just stop for a moment to thin about what we read and hear, and form our own opinions, we will be more thoughtful, more independent, and more creative people, but few tae that time. Yet we need not lose heart over this bad habit. In fact, simply becoming aware (意识到）of it is the first step towards correcting it. Once we become aware that we tend(趋向）to hold opinions and beliefs without thining them through, we can change that pattern of behavior. Hopefully, we can learn to eperience and enjoy the "discomfort of thought" and form our own opinions.
27. What's the purpose of this passage?
A. To describe how Internet news spreads.
B. To eplain why people don't have their own opinions.
C. To tell people that they should have their own thoughts.
D. To warn people not to believe other people's ideas.
28. The underlined word "fae" in Paragraph 4 probably means .
A. untrue
B. unhappy
C. unfair
D. unusual
29. How can we have our own opinions according to the passage?
A. By spreading the information we receive.
B. By learning more about psychology.
C. By quoting others' opinions lie parrots.
D. By thining about what we read and hear.
30. We can probably find this passage in a boo about .
A. history
B. education
C. sports
D. languages
