【题目】Robots make me nervous—especially the ones which seem to think for themselves.I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates，the founder of Microsoft，felt the same way.

Gates said in an interview with the social networking and news website Reddit：“I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence.First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent.That should be positive if we manage well.A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.”

Well，maybe I don’t have to worry about my computer and kitchen equipment yet.After I use them I can always pull the plug.But in the future，machines might find a way to prevent us from switching them off.There’s a terrible thought!

Maybe the problem with computers too clever for us is not that they are evil like some we’ve seen in scifi movies.What could put us in danger is that they might be too efficient.That’s what philosopher Nick Bostrom from Oxford University believes.He says that machines are indifferent to humans and in pursuit of their own goals，the destruction of people might be just additional damage.Bostrom gives us an example：A machine which might have as its only goal to produce as many paperclips as possible might look at human bodies as extra material for paperclips and go after you.Because it is，well，a machine，it would not take pity on you.

It’s a good thing that American writer Isaac Asimov thought about how far robots can go and left us his three rules of robotics.He states that a robot may not hurt a human being or allow the human being to come to harm.

I’m glad my machines at home are “dumb”．All my cleaner wants to take over is the carpet in my living room.Let’s hope they don’t create an appliance which wants to take over the world!

【名师点拨】

细节题的破解一般采用寻读法，即先看试题，再读文章。对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。寻读法还特别适用于对图形表格类题材的理解。做此类型的题目还要特别注意句子的逻辑关系。英语中有许多功能词，如：表因果关系的because, since, as等；表转折关系的but, however ,on the contrary, on the other hand等等。1小题B细节理解题。根据第一段第二句I was embarrassed to admit this till I heard that Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, felt the same way.（我很尴尬地承认这个直到我听说微软的创始人比尔盖茨也有同样的感受。）故可知引用比尔盖茨的话是为了更具有说服力。故选B。

【题目】Home on the Way

People need homes: children assume their 【1】 (parent) place as home; boarders call school "home" on weekdays; and【2】(marry) couples work together to build new homes.

So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time? Don't they have the right【3】(own)a home? Of course they do.

Some regular 【4】(travel) take their own belongings: like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel【5】at home no matter where they are. Some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as 【6】 result become very familiar with service and attend- ants. Others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely.

Furthermore, driving a camping car during one's travels and【7】(sleep) in the vehicle at night are just like home.

Nowadays, fewer people 【8】(work) in their local towns, so【9】do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home" waiting to 【10】 (find). Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and imagination, we can make the place where we stay "home".

【题目】New research brings some good news for lovers of spicy(辛辣的) foods, after finding that eating hot red chili peppers might help to extend lifespan（寿命）.

Consuming hot red chili peppers might reduce death risk, say Chopan and Littenberg from the research team. In hot peppers, such as Mexico peppers, the strong flavor comes from a compound(复合物), which does not exist in sweet peppers or onions. Studies have suggested that this compound can offer a welth of health benefits.

A study of more than 16,000 people in the United States revealed that individuals who consumed red chili peppers had a lower risk of death from all causes over an average of 18 years than those who did not eat the spicy food. Compared with participants who did not consume hot red chili peppers, those who did were found to be at 13 percent reduced risk of all-cause death.

For example, a recent study reported by Medical News Today, found that the compound might have the potential to stop breast cancer, while an earlier study linked the compound to a reduced risk of digest system cancers. Still, the available data suggested that hot red chili pepper consumption was most strongly associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease.

While the researchers are unable to identify the concrete compound by which red chili peppers might extend lifepan, the team says that it is likely due to the compound that is effectively against obesity(肥胖症).

Overall, the team says that these latest findings support those of the 2015 study, linking spicy food intake to reduced risk of death by showing “a significant decrease in death associated with hot red chili pepper consumption.” However, Chopan and Littenberg note that the earlier study was only conducted in Chinese adults, so the now research makes these findings more credible.

【1】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The study only goes for American people.

B. Red chili pepper can all-cause disease.

C. The compound protects people against obesity.

D. Onion consuming can reduce death risk.

【2】What is the finding of the new research mainly about?

A. Hot red chili pepper lovers develop no cancers.

B. Hot red chili peppers help control breast illness.

C. Hot red chili peppers decrease heart disease.

D. Hot red chili pepper intake may increase lifespan.

【题目】根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.
He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him, “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”
He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”
Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God's love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.
The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from room to room until they fall to pieces!”
No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.
