Imagine Dad and I are watching the Olympic Games in our media room someday in the future. The screen drops down to cover one wall. We give our robot Sylvia our orders for popcorn and juice for dinner. She is only a machine but she looks like a human and helps with the housework.
We are having popcorn for dinner tonight because something is wrong with our oven (烤箱). It is broken and keeps on repeating that it doesn’t remember how to cook. Dad thinks the shooting star passing by Earth has caused the problem.
“I did see a shooting star yesterday,” I said, “Maybe that’s why I had trouble getting Sylvia started this morning. She turned around and around, hardly stood when she tried to take a step, and almost fell backwards. She finally started moving towards me, but then suddenly turned, and went backwards. I thought she was going to knock into a wall. It was lucky that she got her balance in the end and successfully stood up.”
At last, Sylvia arrives with our popcorn and drinks. I look at the screen and watch the Olympic Games. Sylvia watches it too. Dad gives her coins as a tip. Sylvia thanks him for the coins and starts to leave the room. Then she turns back to where we are sitting. I hear some clicking sounds. The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins,” she says.
Dad and I just look at each other. Sylvia doesn’t seem to know that robots aren’t supposed to think. Then we burst out laughing and award Sylvia a gold medal.

A. Sylvia knocked into the wall. B. Sylvia was possibly out of order.

A. Worrying. B. Annoying. C. Amazing. D. Frightening.

Toni Morrison was an American writer who received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her novels, Beloved, Song of Solomon and others explored the way African-Americans search for freedom and identity in a country obsessed (受困扰的) with skin colour. Morrison was nearly 40 when she published her first novel The Bluest Eye in 1970. The Nobel Prize committee described her writing as “language itself, a language she wants to liberate from race”. Her novels discussed America’s past, focusing on black history and the effects of slavery and racism. She called her characters “the unfree at the heart of the democratic experiment”.
In 1988, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Beloved, the story of a mother who kills her baby daughter rather than permit her to return to slavery. It became a best-seller and was later made into a film. Many Americans admired her as the country’s greatest writer, including former President Barack Obama.
She was born in 1931. She attended Howard University, an all-black university in Washington, DC. At Howard, she read African, British and American literature, including writers William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf. After a short marriage, she became a single mother of two sons and worked as a book editor in New York.
Several publishers rejected her first book The Bluest Eye, but it impressed The New York Times’ book critic John Leonard, who believed Morrison was an important new voice. He said her writing was “so full of pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry”.
Morrison enjoyed her literary fame and was proud of her Nobel Prize
8. What are Toni Morrison’s books mainly about?
A Women’s equality and rights. B. The development of America.
C. The literature of America. D. Black history and racism.
9. Which of the following helped Toni Morrison receive the Pulitzer Prize?
A. Beloved. B. Song of Solomon.
C. The Bluest Eye. D. The New York Times.
10. Why is former President Barack Obama mentioned?
A. To show Barack Obama’s support in literature.
B. To prove Toni Morrison’s greatness as a writer.
C. To stress Toni Morrison’s contribution to America.
D. To remind readers of the skin colour of Barack Obama.
11. What can we infer from John Leonard’s words?
A. He thought highly of Morrison.
B. He rejected the book The Bluest Eye.
C. The book The Bluest Eye made him painful.
D. Toni Morrison’s book was hard to understand.
D
About 35,000 African elephants are killed every year. That’s one dead elephant every 15 minutes! And if that continues, they’ll be extinct in less than a decade. There are a few societies working to prevent this, and now some of them are getting some help from Big Tech.
Three such groups have teamed up with Intel to stop poachers (盗猎者).They’re doing this by using AI-based cameras in national parks across the globe. The Trail Guard AI camera makes use of Intel’s Movidius Myriad 2 VPU processors. “By pairing AI technology with human decision-makers, we can solve some of our greatest challenges,” says Anna Bethke, head of AI for Social Good at Intel. “With Trail Guard AI, Intel’s Movidius technology enables the camera to take pictures of suspected poachers and warns park rangers (巡护员) in almost real time, who will then decide the most appropriate response.”
Intel claims its system can show the exact position of people and cars among the wildlife with a high degree of accuracy. The first generation of the system involved cameras that were triggered (触发) by movement tracking which would then send photos to the rangers on duty. Inauspiciously, that just sent them a lot of photos they had to review when anything moved in a camera’s field of view. However, by adding AI on top of it, the cameras can act as a first-line check and work much better without wasting time.
The system is also designed to run at low power, allowing it to function in the wild for up to a year and a half on a single charge. “Edge computing technology has the power to revolutionize the way we understand and protect our wildlife,” said Dr. Fabien Laurier, vice president of National Geographic Labs. “It is really helpful for us to accelerate conservation and work toward our dream of achieving a planet in balance.”
12. What is mainly described in Paragraph 2?
A. Why AI-based cameras are popular. B. Why Intel works to prevent poachers.
C. How park rangers respond to poachers. D. How Trail Guard AI helps stop poachers.
13. What does the underlined word “Inauspiciously” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Impossibly. B. Unfortunately. C. Immediately. D. Unambiguously.
14. What does Dr. Fabien Laurierprobably think of AI-based cameras?
A. He has high hopes for them. B. He is worried about them.
C. He has doubts about them. D. He is dissatisfied with them.
15. From which website is the text probably taken?
A. www.culturextourism.com. B. www.humanhealthcentre.com.
C. www.earthharmonyhabitats.org. D. www.learnkoreanlanguage.com.

I thought she was going to knock into a wall. It was lucky that she got her balance in the end and successfully stood up.”
At last, Sylvia arrives with our popcorn and drinks. I look at the screen and watch the Olympic Games. Sylvia watches it too. Dad gives her coins as a tip. Sylvia thanks him for the coins and starts to leave the room. Then she turns back to where we are sitting. I hear some clicking sounds. The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins,” she says.
Dad and I just look at each other. Sylvia doesn’t seem to know that robots aren’t supposed to think. Then we burst out laughing and award Sylvia a gold medal.

Toni Morrison was an American writer who received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her novels, Beloved, Song of Solomon and others explored the way African-Americans search for freedom and identity in a country obsessed (受困扰的) with skin colour. Morrison was nearly 40 when she published her first novel The Bluest Eye in 1970. The Nobel Prize committee described her writing as “language itself, a language she wants to liberate from race”. Her novels discussed America’s past, focusing on black history and the effects of slavery and racism. She called her characters “the unfree at the heart of the democratic experiment”.
In 1988, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Beloved, the story of a mother who kills her baby daughter rather than permit her to return to slavery. It became a best-seller and was later made into a film. Many Americans admired her as the country’s greatest writer, including former President Barack Obama.
She was born in 1931. She attended Howard University, an all-black university in Washington, DC. At Howard, she read African, British and American literature, including writers William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf. After a short marriage, she became a single mother of two sons and worked as a book editor in New York.
Several publishers rejected her first book The Bluest Eye, but it impressed The New York Times’ book critic John Leonard, who believed Morrison was an important new voice. He said her writing was “so full of pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry”.
Morrison enjoyed her literary fame and was proud of her Nobel Prize.

About 35,000 African elephants are killed every year. That’s one dead elephant every 15 minutes! And if that continues, they’ll be extinct in less than a decade. There are a few societies working to prevent this, and now some of them are getting some help from Big Tech.
Three such groups have teamed up with Intel to stop poachers (盗猎者).They’re doing this by using AI-based cameras in national parks across the globe. The Trail Guard AI camera makes use of Intel’s Movidius Myriad 2 VPU processors. “By pairing AI technology with human decision-makers, we can solve some of our greatest challenges,” says Anna Bethke, head of AI for Social Good at Intel. “With Trail Guard AI, Intel’s Movidius technology enables the camera to take pictures of suspected poachers and warns park rangers (巡护员) in almost real time, who will then decide the most appropriate response.”
Intel claims its system can show the exact position of people and cars among the wildlife with a high degree of accuracy. The first generation of the system involved cameras that were triggered (触发) by movement tracking which would then send photos to the rangers on duty. Inauspiciously, that just sent them a lot of photos they had to review when anything moved in a camera’s field of view. However, by adding AI on top of it, the cameras can act as a first-line check and work much better without wasting time.
The system is also designed to run at low power, allowing it to function in the wild for up to a year and a half on a single charge. “Edge computing technology has the power to revolutionize the way we understand and protect our wildlife,” said Dr. Fabien Laurier, vice president of National Geographic Labs. “It is really helpful for us to accelerate conservation and work toward our dream of achieving a planet in balance.”
12. What is mainly described in Paragraph 2?
A. Why AI-based cameras are popular. B. Why Intel works to prevent poachers.
C. How park rangers respond to poachers. D. How Trail Guard AI helps stop poachers.
13. What does the underlined word “Inauspiciously” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Impossibly. B. Unfortunately. C. Immediately. D. Unambiguously.
14. What does Dr. Fabien Laurierprobably think of AI-based cameras?
A. He has high hopes for them. B. He is worried about them.
C. He has doubts about them. D. He is dissatisfied with them.
15. From which website is the text probably taken?
A. www.culturextourism.com. B. www.humanhealthcentre.com.
C. www.earthharmonyhabitats.org. D. www.learnkoreanlanguage.com.
