16. Jack ________ (work) in the lab when the power cut happened. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】was working
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:停电发生时,杰克正在实验室工作。此空考查谓语动词,主语Jack与work为主动关系,句中“when the power cut happened”是明确的“过去时间点”,这里强调“在过去某个瞬间,另一个动作正在进行”,符合过去进行时的用法;主语Jack是单数。故填was working。
17. I ________ (read) half of the English novel, and I'll try to finish it at the weekend. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】have read
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意:这本英文小说我读了一半了,我将要努力在周末把它读完。由句意可知,到目前小说读到一半已经完成了,表示过去的动作对现在的影响,因此使用现在完成时,注意主谓一致。故填have read。
18. You’d better keep this card at hand ________ (make) it easier to get in touch with us. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to make
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:你最好把这张卡片放在手边,以便更容易与我们联系。“make it easier to get in touch with us”是“keep this card at hand”的目的,所以用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to make。
19. We all felt ________ (inspire) by the scientist’s spirit of never giving up. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】inspired
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:科学家永不放弃的精神让我们所有人都深受鼓舞。分析句子结构可知,空格处需填形容词作表语;inspired,意为“感到鼓舞的”,为形容词,通常修饰人,符合语境。故填inspired。
20. The Amazon valley is very important to the natural balance of the earth. Forty percent of the world’s oxygen ________ (produce) there. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】is produced
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:亚马逊河谷对地球的自然平衡非常重要。世界上40%的氧气都是在那里产生的。设空处为句子的谓语,结合is可知,此处陈述客观事实,时态应用一般现在时,主语Forty percent of the world’s oxygen和produce“生产”之间为被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为不可数名词,be动词用is。故填is produced。
21. If your T-shirt is ready, we ________ (deliver) it to you as soon as possible. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】will deliver
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:如果你的T恤准备好了,我们会尽快把它寄给你。本句为“If”引导的条件状语从句,遵循“主将从现”原则(从句用一般现在时表将来,主句用一般将来时)。故填will deliver。
22. Storytelling is one of the oldest and most powerful ways ________ (share) culture and values. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to share
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意:讲故事是分享文化与价值观最古老、最有力的方式之一。已有谓语动词is,share为非谓语动词,根据空前ways可知,此处是固定搭配“the way to do sth.”,意为“做某事的方式”。动词不定式to share作后置定语,修饰名词ways。故填to share。
23. Many young people find attending music festivals ________ (excite), with the loud music and energetic atmosphere. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】exciting
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:许多年轻人觉得参加音乐节令人兴奋,因为那里有喧闹的音乐和充满活力的氛围。设空处作宾语补足语,说明宾语attending music festivals的性质,结合“with the loud music and energetic atmosphere”可知,形容词exciting“令人兴奋的”符合语境。故填exciting。
24. My grandma was the last person ________ (know) about our family trip. We wanted to surprise her. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to know
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式。句意:我奶奶是最后一个知道我们家庭旅行的人。我们想给她一个惊喜。know在句中为非谓语动词,修饰名词短语the last person,名词前有“the first/last/only/best”等限定词时,常用不定式(to do)作后置定语,修饰该名词,此处“the last person to know ...”表示 “最后一个知道……的人”。故填to know。
25. I have to go to school by bus today because my bike ________ (repair). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】is being repaired
【解析】
【详解】考查动词语态。句意:今天我不得不乘公共汽车去上学,因为我的自行车正在修理。设空为because引导的原因状语从句的谓语,结合“I have to go to school by bus today”可知,此处表示自行车“正在被修理”,所以从句时态应用现在进行时,主语my bike与repair“修理”为被动关系,用现在进行时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,be动词用is。故填is being repaired。

The Boy Made It!
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.
Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Gxrylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
26. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?
A. He got lost. B. He broke his skis.
C. He hurt his eyes. D. He caught a cold.
27. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?
A. He found a shelter. B. He lighted some branches.
C. He kept on skiing. D. He built a snow cave.
28 On Tuesday’ Nicholas .
A. returned to his shelter safely B. was saved by a searcher
C. got stuck in the snow D. stayed where he was
29. Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he .
A. did the right things in the dangerous situation
B. watched Grylls’ TV program regularly
C. created some tips for survival
D. was very hard-working
【答案】26. A 27. D 28. B 29. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲的是一个小男孩在暴风雪中迷路,他不畏艰难,利用在电视中学到的野外生存知识逃脱困境的故事。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone!可知,还没等他明白过来,尼古拉就迷路了,孤独一人。所以Nicholas迷路了。故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段Nicholas built a snow cave. 尼古拉斯建造了一个雪洞。和第四段Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. 然后他把树枝堆在自己身上,像毯子一样,尽可能地保暖。可知,Nicholas保持温暖的方式是建了一个雪洞。故选D项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him.可知,周二,尼古拉斯再次外出寻求帮助。他已经走了大约一英里,这时一个志愿者找到了他。所以星期二的时候,Nicholas被一名志愿搜索者救了。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.可知,尼古拉成功了,这给他留下了深刻的印象,因为他比任何人都清楚尼古拉是如何努力来维持生命的 。由此判断出,尼古拉斯给格里尔留下了深刻的印象,因为他在危险的情况下做了正确的事情。故选A。

Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet---as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It s trickier than you might think.
The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter (散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.
But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it you see the things behind it.
To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments (色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.
Animals are built of many different materials---skin, fat, and more---and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like (果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it.
Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章解释了生活在海洋的透明生物的特点,透明原理,以及形成机制。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三行“Mostof them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch”可知,透明动物是很容易受伤的。故选B。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。该词出现在文章第三段第三行。前文提到了:你能看到的物体一种是对光线进行了散射;而另外一种是对光线的吸收。既然吸收了,那在光的传播过程中就完全阻止了,因此这里dead是完全的意思。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.”可知,想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线,因此其中的一个方法是C选项,避免光线的吸收。故选C。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. ”可知,体型较大的透明动物面临的挑战最大,因为它们必须让体内所有不同的组织减缓光线的速度,就像减缓水的速度一样。由此判断出,他在最后一段告诉我们,更大的透明动物会采取有效的行动来减少光的扩散。故选D。
D
Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics(控制论), put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.
37. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .
A. run out of human control
B. satisfy human’s real desires
C command armies of killer robots
D. work faster than a mathematician
38. Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to .
A. prevent themselves from being destroyed
B. achieve their original goals independently
C. do anything successfully with given orders
D. beat humans in international chess matches
39. According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to .
A. help super intelligent machines work better
B. be secure against evil human beings
C. keep machines from being harmed
D. avoid robots’ affecting the world
40. What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?
A. It will disappear with the development of AI.
B. It will get worse with human interference.
C. It will be solved but with difficulty.
D. It will stay for a decade.
【答案】37. A 38. A 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了人工智能,随着科技的发展,机器人可能会超出人类的控制,所以短文对人与机器人之间的关系进行了探讨。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want.可知人工智能可能会出现的真正问题是AI会非常擅长取得某个成就而不是我们真正想要的东西,也就是说AI可能会超出人的控制去做一些事情,故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence.可知,一台具有特定用途的机器还有另外一个特性,这个特性我们通常与生物联系在一起: 一种希望保持自身存在的愿望,也就是说,它具有有生命的物体的一种品质是因为它要保护自己不被破坏,继续存在下去,故选A。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world.可知可以用防火墙来回答那些困难的问题但是却永远不要让他们影响这个真正的现实世界,故选D。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy.可知作者认为解决人工智能机器的安全问题是可能的,但是并不容易,也就是很困难,故选C。

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. ____41____ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work?
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____42____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___43___
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____44____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
___45___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
【答案】41. F 42. C 43. A 44. E 45. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们喜欢冒险的来源和科学依据,人们都喜欢冒险,因为风险也意味着回报,生活中人们喜欢做一些让别人意外和害怕的事,这和人的大脑有关.
【41题详解】
根据前文because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking.当我们衡量风险和回报时,风险值得去冒。根据后文Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.有些人喜欢做一些让别人意外和害怕的事。也就是说衡量风险的标准每个人都可能不一样.故F选项 “然而,我们并不是都使用相同的参考标准来衡量风险和回报”与上文为转折关系,且承接下文。故选F。
【42题详解】
根据前文Risk-takers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring.喜欢冒险的人表现更优秀,这意味着他们有更大的机会生存下去。故C选项“这意味着他们有更大的机会生存下去”承接上文。故选C。
【43题详解】
根据前文So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it.也许你喜欢赛车,也许你不喜欢,这要依据你的性格。故A选项“这要依据你的性格”承接上文。故选A。
【44题详解】
根据前文scientists say that your Willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.科学家们指出冒险的意愿在年轻时会不断强烈。根据下文To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.为了帮你实现那些,大脑会不断增加你对新的经历的渴望。而这些是在你离开家庭,走进一个更大的世界的时候。故E选项“这些是在你离开家庭,走进一个更大的世界的时候”承接上下文。故选E。
【45题详解】
根据下文For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.不同的人的大脑在处理快乐和恐惧时表现也会不一样。故前面应该是说大脑的不同反应。故G选项“新的大脑研究表明,当我们面对紧张的情况时,我们的大脑会以不同的方式工作” 承接下文。故选G。

The Boy Made It!
One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.
Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.
The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目) of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Gxrylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window. These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet---as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It s trickier than you might think.
The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter (散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily.
But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much. Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it you see the things behind it.
To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments (色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.
Animals are built of many different materials---skin, fat, and more---and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see-through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-like (果冻状的) material and spread themselves over it.
Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear: for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white.
33. According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals .
A. stay in groups B. can be easily damaged
C. appear only in deep ocean D. are beautiful creatures
34. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means .
A. silently B. gradually
C. regularly D. completely
35. One way for an animal to become transparent is to .
A change the direction of light travel B. gather materials to scatter light
C. avoid the absorption of light D. grow bigger to stop light
36. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals .
A move more slowly in deep water
B. stay see-through even after death
C. produce more tissues for their survival
D. take effective action to reduce light spreading
D
Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics(控制论), put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.
37. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .
A. run out of human control
B. satisfy human’s real desires
C. command armies of killer robots
D. work faster than a mathematician
38. Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to .
A. prevent themselves from being destroyed
B. achieve their original goals independently
C. do anything successfully with given orders
D. beat humans in international chess matches
39. According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to .
A. help super intelligent machines work better
B. be secure against evil human beings
C. keep machines from being harmed
D. avoid robots’ affecting the world
40. What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?
A. It will disappear with the development of AI.
B. It will get worse with human interference.
C. It will be solved but with difficulty.
D. It will stay for a decade.

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. ____41____ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work?
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____42____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___43___
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____44____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
___45___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
