8.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 sci-fi 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(漠然)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.They state 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!.

28.The author quoted Bill Gates'words in Paragraph 2in order to make the textB.
A.better-known  B.more persuasive    C.better-organized   D.more interesting
29.An intelligent paperclip machine would harm us becauseC.
A.it is much cleverer than us
B.it would take over the world
C.it would see us just as material
D.it has the strong feeling of destroying us
30.How does the author feel about Isaac Asimov's rules of robotics?A
A.Optimistic.    B.Sympathy.    C.Disappointed.D.Regretful.
31.What does the text mainly focus on?C
A.The benefits of future robots.
B.The new applications of robots.
C.The concern for super intelligence.
D.The popularity of robots in the future.

3.[1]When children go to camp,they are on their own,sometimes for the very first time in their lives.They have to decide what to wear,what to eat and which activities to participate in.As a result they develop confidence and independence.
[2]As self-respect develops from learning to be on their own,children continue to try new activities.Also it is possible that they will engage in what they are unfamiliar with.In school,children do not experience success in the same way.Camp can be a school without failure because just having fun makes them a success.
[3]One of the greatest benefits of a camp experience is that children develop social skills.In a camp setting,a good counselor will make sure that every camper is included in the activity and that each child interacts with the others in a positive way.They learn to give and take,and they learn how to work and cooperate.Something as simple as clean-up,is not only there to get the cabin clean,but to promote a team atmosphere of working together which in turn results in friendship.
[4]The obvious benefit of camp is that campers make long lasting friendships.These friendships can often be unique and special because campers are living with each other and see the true personalities.Children learn to see others from a different viewpoint.Children tend to be accepted for who they are and do not have to be concerned about what they wear,what they are good at and how they look.This is because in a camp setting,respect and caring finally win out over materialistic objectives.
[5]In a word,camp does give children fun,friends and fulfillment.
 
56.What is the passage mainly about?(No more than 8 words)The benefits(advantages) of camps to children./Reasons for children to go to camps.
57.What can the campers develop in the end based on the passage?(No more than 3 words)Confidence and independence
58.According to Paragraph 2,what makes camping different from a school?(No more than 7 words)Camping/Camp can be a school without fai1ure./No failure makes them a success./Having fun makes them a success./Being successful makes it different.
59.What do the campers gain according to Paragraph 3?(No more than 2 words)Social skills  
60.According to Paragraph 4,why can camping improve friendship?(No more than l0 words)Because campers are living together and see the true personalities./Because respect and caring finally win out over materialistic objectives..
13.Scientists from the United States say they have found fish and other creatures living under key waters in Antarctica.They made the announcement after completing three months of research at the Ross Ice Shelf,the world's largest floating ice sheet.
The researchers hoped to find clues to explain the force of the melting ice and its effect on sea level rise.Reed Scherer and Ross Powell are with Northern Illinois University in DeKalb,Illinois.They just finished up their research on our southernmost continent.Money for the project came from America's National Science Foundation.
"We chose a study site where,in the first year,We went into the subglacial (冰川下的)lake and tried to understand the environment in there,both ecologically and in terms of the ice dynamics about how the lake operates,and how the sediment(沉淀物) underneath the ice sheet operates,as well,because it's the water and the sediment underneath the ice that controls how fast the ice is flowing into the ocean"says Ross Powell,who led the investigation.The team included scientists,engineers,machinery and other supplies across the ice from the main U.S.scientific base at Mc Murdo Station to the researcher's camp.The camp  was near a subglacial lake,where an earlier study took place,
Ross Powell says the latest study may provide evidence that can help predict the effect of climate change on rising sea levels.
"What we have found is that these are very sensitive areas to the stability of how dynamic the ice is and how fast the ice may react to increases of melting both from the ocean and the atmosphere."
Among the new instruments built for the project was a powerful hot water drill.The researchers used the drill to dig down some 740meters.They collected water,sediment and other material from the grounding zone.
Working around the clock before the deep hole refroze,they sent a video camera down to the 400-square-meter undersea area.
Reed Scherer says the video images they saw in the Command Center were a total surprise.
"It's a very mobile environment.The bottom is changing constantly.And so the things that we saw were all very mobile organisms,things that swim and some things that crawl.And obviously they are getting enough nutrition that they can thrive,Some of the little crustacean-like creatures called amphipods that we saw swam quite quickly and were quite active."
This is the farthest south that fish have ever been seen.How did the creatures get here?What do they feed on?And what effect will the retreating ice have on them?
Ross Powell says the ice and sediment cores taken from the grounding zone can offer clues.
"We know that the ice is melting there at the moment and so by opening up the cores once they get back,we hope to be able to understand what the ice was doing in the past,relative to what it is doing now.And because it is melting so fast or seems to be melting fast at the moment,we anticipate that there will he some differences that we'll see in the history of the ice sheet from the sediment cores,once we open them up."But Ross Powell says the work raises more questions than it answers.

A.predicting how climate change influences rising sea levels.

C.proving the speed of ice flowing into the ocean is controlled by water.
