How much do you know about Earth-the planet that we live on? Our knowledge of Earth has been developing since ancient times. However, many puzzles about Earth remain unsolved. Live Science has published a list of the eight biggest mysteries about Earth. Let's look at some of them.

Where did water come from?

When it first came into being 4.5 billion years ago, Earth was a dry rock. So where did all of our water come from? Scientists think that it might have arrived in the form of ice by an asteroid(小行星) from outer space that hit our planet. But this theory has not been confirmed because there is very little related evidence(相关证据)to be studied.

What's in the core(地核)?

Scientists used to study meteorites(陨石)as small examples of Earth, believing that Earth's core was made of iron and nickel(镍). However, a later study in the 1950s proved this way to be wrong because it found that Earth would be too light to provide gravity if its core contained only iron and nickel. Today, scientists continue to bring forward different theories, but none have been confirmed.

How was the Moon born?

Scientists have found that the chemical compositions(成分)of Earth and the Moon are very similar. That suggests that the Moon actually came from Earth. For example, it could be a piece of Earth that separated when Earth hit another planet. It is also possible that when Earth first came into being, it spun(旋转)very fast and threw off enough molten(熔化的)rock to later from the Moon.

1.What's the story mainly about?

A.How Earth came into being. B.Where Earth's water came from.

C.How the Moon was formed. D.Unexplained mysteries about Earth.

2.What do we know about where water may come from?

A.Earth's water may come from ice that melted 4.5 billion years ago.

B.Earth's water may come from a small planet that hit Earth.

C.We don't know where water came from.

D.There is lots of evidence that tells us where water came from.

3.What does the underlined phrase "bring forward" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Check. B.Raise. C.Improve. D.Receive.

4.Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?

A.Scientists believed Earth's core was made of meteorites.

B.A study in the 1950s proved that Earth's core is made of iron and nickel.

C.The Moon and Earth are made of similar materials.

D.Three possibilities of where the Moon came from are mentioned.

US poet Allen Ginsberg once said, "Poetry is the one place where people can speak their original human mind."

In celebrating World Poetry Day, March 21, UNESCO discovers the special ability of poetry to express the human spirit.

The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the author and the reader. When we read a poem, we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it, or what they were doing at the time. These thoughts let us connect with the words better.

But in the age of AI(人工智能), would a poem still mean as much if it wasn't written by a human at all? Today, computers can create all kinds of texts, even poems included.

In 2013, Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called "bot or not", where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer. During a recent speech at TedX Sydney, Schwartz said that throughout the years, some of the website's poems were able to fool 65 percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human.

By starting the website, Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would question the difference between humans and machines and be able to find out what makes us human.

Unstableness(不稳定性)is part of the answer. "The human is not a cold, hard fact," Schwartz said. "Rather, it is something that's constructed(构成)with our ideas and something that changes over time."

A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style, but it wouldn't be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could. In fact, today's AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans. As Schwartz noted, "The computer works like a mirror that reflects(反映)any idea of a human that developers teach it."

So a new challenge arises: What kind of human mind do we want the computer to reflect back at us?

1.What's the purpose of the first three paragraphs?

A.To introduce how World Poetry Day was started.

B.To show the popularity of poetry around the world.

C.To show the importance and beauty of poetry.

D.To give some tips on appreciating(欣赏).

2.What do the data(数据)from "bot or not" show?

A.Computers are better than humans at writing poetry.

B.Computers can also produce poems of high quality.

C.Readers don't really care whether the poems were written by humans.

D.Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans.

3.According to Schwartz, what makes humans different from machines?

A.We have changing ideas. B.We often make mistakes.

C.We are stable in what we do. D.We value feelings over facts.

4.Why can't computers match humans in creating poems according to the article?

A.They can't express feelings as well as humans.

B.They can't create poems that make sense(说得通)at all.

C.They fail to use the correct grammar and style.

D.They only know how to copy poems written by humans.
