Imagine that you’ve got a robot that looks like a human, talks like a human, and even
interacts like a human. Although you know it’s just a machine, you can relate to it. But would you
consider it as a friend?
This is just one of the questions that you may find difficult to answer. Sooner or later
artificial intelligence (AI) will bring many moral challenges. But AI is here to stay and will have a
big impact on our future. As Li Fei- Fei, professor of computer science at Stanford University put it,
“If our era is the next industrial revolution, as many claim, AI is surely one of its major driving
forces.”
Merriam- Webster defines AI as “the capability of a machine to copy intelligent human
behavior”. But what makes us want to create “thinking machines”? After all, thinking and
consciousness are inimitable things of human beings – at least at present. They separate us from
all other creatures on Earth.
For one thing, humans constantly desire to develop new technology just because they can.
The desire to create AI is the ultimate expression of this: We want to test the limit of human
intelligence by building a brand new intelligence. For another, AI has all sorts of practical benefits
to offer us. It would free us from repetitive work and make our lives easier. Imagine getting to
your destination with an AI-guided self-driving car. Imagine having an AI tutor that could help
you with your homework.
However, as AI becomes more important in life the worries will begin. Will AI effectively
start to take over us? Today, with online shopping sites and social networking platforms, AI
already influences many of our choices. Algorithms (算法) determine the content we see on the
Internet, and make recommendations about everything from what we watch on TV to where we
travel. Some fear that machines will become better at making decisions than humans are, and that
therefore we will lose our control of AI.
But it’s not all doom and gloom(前景暗淡). Max Tegmark, author of Life 3.0: Being Human
in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, believes that with careful planning, AI can become a powerful
tool. “I’m optimistic that we can create an inspiring future with AI if we win the race between the
growing power of AI and the growing wisdom with which we manage it,” he told Motherboard.
But like it or not, AI is shaping the society and will dramatically change the way we live.

Scientists say they have discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a
hurricane or other powerful ocean storms. They are calling it a “stormquake”. Researchers came
up with this name after studying events connected with or caused by earthquakes on the sea floor
during such storms. They found that the shaking can feel as strong as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake.
Intense energy from hurricanes and other severe storms can create very large waves in the
ocean. These waves then “interact” in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause “intense
seismic (地震的) source activity,” said the leader researcher Fan, a seismologist and professor at
Florida State University. “We can have seismic sources in the ocean just like earthquakes within
the hard outer layer of the Earth,” he added. “The exciting part is seismic sources caused by
hurricanes can last for hours or even days.”
The researchers found evidence of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the
United States and Canada. Stormquakes were found to have happened around continental shelves
or sea floors containing flat land and at lower depths, the research showed. Even with evidence of
so many stromquakes happening, it was not known until recently that such events even existed.
This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused
seismic waves as “background noise”.
The research found that major U.S. hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes. One
example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean, which caused about 300 stormquakes
as it moved north, past New Jersey. Other examples of stormquakes were Hurricane Ike in 2008
and Hurricane Irene in 2011. But the study found no evidence of stormquakes off the coast of
Mexico. Also, no such activity was recorded in areas along the U.S. East Coast, starting in New
Jersey, and continuing all the way down to Georgia. The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy,
one of the most costly storms in U.S. history, did not cause a single stormquake. Fan says this
第 5 页 共 18 页
suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface
and seafloor conditions.
Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes. But he said discovering
them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding of seismic waves”. He hopes the
discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes, which in the past have mainly been
observed from satellites in the sky. “Now we are able to understand the phenomenon — or at least
track part of its passage — through the solid earth as well,” he said.
is the distinctive feature of a stormquake?
seasonal.
destructive.
interactive. long-lasting.
were stormquakes unknown to science previously?
e they were extremely rare on the Earth.
e they were once neglected by scientists.
e they generally happen in deep sea floors.
e they are quite similar to common earthquakes.
message is conveyed in Paragraph 4?
hurricanes don’t bring about stormquakes.
uakes happen more along the East Coast.
er hurricanes tend to produce stormquakes.
sea floor’s condition changes in stormquakes.
is the significance of the discovery?
ng an alternative angle to research hurricanes.
g to predict an earthquake more accurately.
ting the richness of the seismic wave field.
ting potential hurricanes and lessening losses.

The most intuitive(直观的) argument against immigration we come across is that immigrants
are causing higher unemployment rate or lower wages for low-skilled workers within the nation,
which is probably not true in the US. Statistics show that in the US, wages and unemployment rate
are rarely affected for the reason that immigrants move more flexibly for jobs than local workers.
Immigration boosts economy by driving up both demand and supply. Official data show that
immigrants have a far more diverse composition than the native-born. They have a higher
percentage of doctoral degree owners while also a higher percentage of worse-educated. The
effect is that companies actually adjust to the change in job market in the long-run and figure out
their way to deal with a mix of workers with different skills and levels, which at the end of the day
fits them into different jobs.

For those who have a bachelor or a doctoral degree, they are the driving engines whose
innovation largely boosts the US economy. Immigrants to the United States tend to generate more
patentable technologies than natives: though they constitute only 18 percent of the 25 and older
workforce, immigrants obtain 28 percent of high-quality patents. Immigrants are also more likely
to become Nobel winners in physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine. These innovations
can increase productivity and job supplies in the long run.
For those badly-educated, even though they did cause a negative impact to net financial
contribution to the US government, the impact is rather small compared to those undereducated
native people. It is because as immigrants who come to seek for a change for their life, it is more
likely for them to take a job rather than accepting the basic living standard provided by
government subsidy (补贴) like those desperate native-born Americans who have lost faith in the
so-called “American Dream”. In the long run, it eases the burden of government and brings in
more tax income. In this sense, their stable income also brings about more domestic demand in the
US.
All in all, immigrants are actually beneficial for the US economy, largely owing to the values
created by those highly- educated. The expulsions (驱逐) of unauthorized immigrants may bring
about negative impact to the economy.
does the author write this passage?
appeal to more foreigners to immigrate to America.
urge the US to treat unauthorized immigrants equally.
confirm what’s long been believed about immigration.
argue for the positive economic effects of immigration.
are immigrants different from the natives?
contribute less to government finances.
have less access to government subsidy.
’re more confident of the American Dream.
’re more likely to go where jobs are available.
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Companies are more willing to employ immigrants.
B. Immigrants are more adaptable than native Americans.
C. Most Americans with a doctor’s degree are immigrants.
D. Immigration creates more job opportunities for America.
is the passage mainly developed?
listing specific statistics.
making a detailed analysis.
comparing different opinions. presenting typical examples.

A popular Yale University psychology course now available for free online. I decided to see
what it was all about. 36 After taking the course, I’m convinced that anyone who adopts and
practices the strategies provided can truly become happier.
Reconnecting with a friend can boost happiness, but so can a meaningful encounter with a
stranger. One of the most complex things we can engage with is another person’s mind. 37 In
fact, many studies have found that the more you use social media, the less happy you are. This is
because social media—especially picture-heavy platforms—present things others have that you
don’t, making you want more and appreciate less.
38 However, varying your approach is key. If you perform the same act of kindness over
and over, it may begin to feel like an obligation or a boring task. The reactions you got made you
feel better about yourselves. Kindness brings other happiness benefits, too. Helping others takes
the focus away from our own worries and problems, which can boost happiness. And being
generous won’t increase levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Perhaps surprisingly, kindness
improves overall physical health.
Taking exercise causes hormonal changes in the body that make you feel good and help
interrupt negative thoughts. Clinically depressed people who exercised regularly improved just as
much as those who took antidepressants. 39 But anecdotally, most people who exercise will
tell you they feel better.
Shortchanging your sleep can make you bad-tempered. 40 A lot of people know that sleep
is good but some are forced to sacrifice sleep because they have other things taking up their time.
A. I was curious to see what the course was recommending.
B. Volunteering to help someone can make you happier than doing self-centered things.
C. Getting enough shut-eye can boost your mood.
D. Ways of our minds trick us into being less happy.
E. After all, I’ve been writing about happiness for years.
F. Online friends don’t count.
G. Getting out of a depression is not exactly the same as happiness.

When Mike Mushaw joined the national bone marrow(骨髓) registry three years ago, he
never really gave it a second thought.
About six months after the sign-up, Mushaw did get a call that his bone marrow 41 a
patient in Virginia. Mushaw didn’t know it at the time his donation would go to a five-month-old
girl named Eleanor. Neither did he know whether his donation would 42 . Eleanor, sick with
a rare immuno deficiency disease, had seldom left her house 43 to travel to the hospital or
the doctor. Her immune system was far too weak to risk even the most 44 human contact.
Her mother, Jessica, told NBC. “The 45 were to either get a transplant or face death.” Still,
there was no 46 of success.
Instead, after a few weeks, the doctors came back with 47 news: Eleanor’s condition
hadn’t just improved — Mushaw’s bone marrow had 48 her. Mushaw says: it was more of
a 49 and happy feeling than anything.”
About six months after the procedure , Eleanor’s parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for
saving her life. “When I was told it was a little girl, I 50 ,” Mushaw says.
But their surprising 51 was only beginning. Mushaw and Eleanor FaceTime 52 to
check on her progress. In August, about a year after Eleanor’s 53 transplant, Mushaw invited
her family to one of his games. Tiny shouts of “Mike! Mike!” could be heard as the little girl
cheered on her very own hero: a six-foot-two, 225-pound football player with a very 54 heart.
In January, Mushaw 55 with Eleanor to celebrate her birthday. Two complete strangers
