10．Who is smarter？A human being or artificial intelligence？
The question swept the world last week when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player，South Korean Lee Se-del，4-1．
So，what comes next？
Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence，or AI in short，will be a bad thing for humans．In an interview with the BBC in 2014，UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that"the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race．"
So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies？
"Not quite，"answered The Economist．After all，it's not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts．What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations．
"We think that，for the human being，things like sight and balance（视觉平衡），are natural and ordinary in our life．"Thomas Edison，founder of Motion Figures，a company that is bringing AI to boys，told the newspaper．"But for a robot，to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second，and it's really difficult to do．"
As The Economist put it，"We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain，even though the technology can be great．"
Meanwhile，John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective．
"Our fate is in our own hands，"he wrote．"Since technology depends on the values of its creators，we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world．"
32．What was the result of the match？D
A．Lee Se-del won AlphaGo 4-1．
B．Neither side won the match．
C．Google program beat AlphaGo．
D．Lee Se-del was defeated．
33．What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks？C
A．AI can make various decisions quickly．
B．AI would take the place of human beings．
C．It's very hard for AI to beat the human brain．
D．AI does better than humans in sight and balance．
34．Who believes much has to be done to improve AI？A
A．The Economist．
B．John Markoff．
C．The New York Times．
D．Stephen Hawking．
35．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply？C
A．AI will improve the world completely．
B．AI may bring disasters to human beings．
C．AI is in the control of human beings．
D．AI will make our future out of control．
1．People give gifts in almost all societies．Some gifts are expensive，as they may take months to create．Others are of less （48）D，such as birthday cards．In some cultures，there are certain rules about gift exchange．In Pakistan，for example，there is a tradition called"taking giving"．It （49）A this way：You give the newly-married couple a gift，and they"repay（回报）"you with a gift of higher value．Then you give the couple another gift．This one should be worth the difference between the first two gifts．
Today presidents usually bring gifts when they （50）D a foreign leader．Leaders bring gifts to strengthen relationships between （51）A．
Gifts can also send special messages．For example，gifts can tell people that we are thinking of them and that we want them to feel（52）B．Sometimes a gift makes us remember the giver．The gift keeps the
（53）C of a special person and a special relationship alive．
There is no doubt about the good side of gift giving．That is why some people don't （54）D the idea that modern gift giving is very wasteful．It is （55）A that there is an emotional benefit for people who exchange gifts．That is surely enough of a reason for the tradition to continue．

8．THE year of 2014has been jam-packed with events good，bad，and ugly．But no matter what has happened，smart people have always been busy inventing．
Here are some of the inventions of 2014that have helped to make the world better，smarter，and a little more fun．
‘Super banana'
Australian biogeneticist James Dale visited Uganda，a poor African country，in the early 2000s．There，he found that 15-30percent of children under 5were at risk of going blind because they did not get enough Vitamin A．Dale also learned that people there love bananas．They eat three to 11bananas a day．So he came up with the idea to plant bananas containing added nutrition in order to improve Ugandans'health．
With the help of Bill Gates'foundation，Dale developed the"super banana"．He added a gene to the fruit，making it rich in Vitamin A．In June，"super bananas"began human trials in the US．
Coaching basketball
Basketball is popular worldwide，partly because you only need a hoop and a ball to play the game．But this simple game has experienced a technology makeover this year with the development of a smart-sensor basketball．
The ball，called the 94Fifty Basketball，has nine sensors inside．They can tell you anything from how fast you are going to how accurate your shot angles are．
With a Bluetooth chip inside，the basketball can connect to your smartphone and tell you in the voice of a coach to"snap your wrist （传旋转球）"，or"go faster"，depending on the data．
The Hovercraft
Thanks to the California-based company Hendo，flying past your friends on a floating board could soon become a reality．
The Hovercraft has four small engines．These create a special magnetic field which generates （产生） enough force to lift the board off the ground，according to kickstarter．com．
At the moment，the hoverboard can only float an inch off the ground for 15minutes and must fly over a metallic material．It's expensive too，at $10，000 （61，810yuan），but the company hopes that one day the technology could be used to improve the world．
Wireless electricity
Most of us could not bear to live without wireless Internet．We use it every day for everything from our phones to our cars．But one company wants to go a step further，by combining wireless technology with electricity．
That's right，no more tangled （缠绕的） wires and no more having to sit and hold your cell phone near a power socket in the corner of the room．WiTricity，a US company，has invented technology that can power objects up to 2.4meters away．It uses a special plug-in coil （线圈） that creates a magnetic field．

60．Which of the following statements would James Dale agree with？C
A．Vitamin A is largely found in fruits like bananas．
B．Children in Uganda should eat fewer bananas．
C．Scientists could make use of people's eating habits to develop new food products．
D．"Super bananas"are definitely a safe biological product．
61．What is the biggest advantage of the 94Fifty Basketball？B
A．It allows players to connect to their smartphones while playing basketball．
B．It can help players to improve their shooting and ball handling skills．
C．The bluetooth chip inside allows its users to listen to music while playing basketball．
D．The sensors hidden inside can help players run faster in a game．
62．According to the article，the HovercraftD．
A．enables its users to fly in the sky          
B．could work on many different kinds of surfaces
C．is an affordable means of transportation for an average family
D．still needs to improve its power and efficiency
63．We can learn from the article that both the Hovercraft and WiTricityB．
A．are technologies that generate electricity
B．use magnetic fields to improve our daily lives
C．can apply their technologies to everything from our phones to our cars
D．use wireless technology to improve the performance of their products
64．The article is most likely to be taken fromB．
A．a newspaper advertisement                      
B．a fashion magazine
C．a supermarket catalogue （商品目录）

5．Having a dental fear（开科恐惧症 ）is a common problem．Learning to overcome your fear  of the dentist is possible with a Intle determination ancl guidance．It is worthwhile to overcome the issue as healthy teeth might help you be healthy physically and spiritually．
Admission
Aclnutting you have a fear is the first step in overcoming dental fear．When you acknowledge your fear，you can start the process．Dentistry has come a long way over the years．The anesthetics （麻醉） are improved，the t．echniques are of higher quality and dental offices have a better understanding of these issues you are concemed about and all these can help you overcome it．
Research
Speak to family and friends about your fear．Be open and honest about your issues and gel feedhack from them regarding their dental experiences．You can contact your local Dental Society and express your conc：erns．Another good approach is to simply call dental offices and get useful information f'rom the f'ront office staff．
First visit
Most dental ofiices schedule your first visit by a dental assistant．This gives you a chance to ease into the situation．Do not hesitate to express your fear and hesitation．Pay attention to what the assistant says．It can be very useful ancl it can gentl}r guide you to a new attitude towards dentists．
Relaxation techniques
There are many things you can do to relax yourself．Slow，steady，deep breathes are keys to relax properly．Another aid in relaxation is to bring your iPad to play some relaxing music while you are in the dental chair．Music is a wonderful tool to use and is a helpful  distraction（分心）．
Facing your fear and making the first dental appointment are necessary for your health．Ignoring your dental health because of your fear will only worsen the issues and cause you to have serious clental problems．

3．A few months ago as I wandered through my parents'house，the same house I grew up in，I had a sudden，scary realization．When my parents bought the house，in 1982，they were only two years older than I am now．I tried to imagine myself in two years，ready to settle down and buy the house I'd still be living in almost 30 years later．
   It seemed ridiculous．On a practical level，there's no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon．More importantly，I wouldn't want to．I'm not sure where I'll be living in two years，or what kind of job I'll have．And I don't think I'll be ready to settle down and stay in one place．
   So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents．When our parents were our age，they'd got their education，chosen a career，and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives．
   My friends and I--"Generation Y"--still aren't sure what we want to do with our lives．Whatever we end up doing，we want to make sure we're happy doing it．We'd rather take risks first，try out different jobs，and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place．We'd rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account．
   This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation"arrogant"，"impatient"，and"overprotected"．Some of these complaints have a point．As children，we were encouraged to succeed in school，but also to have fun．We grew up in a world full of technological innovation：cellphones，the Internet，instant messaging，and video games．
   Our parents looked to rise vertically（垂直的）--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top，on the same track，often for the same company．That doesn't apply to my generation．
Because of that，it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible，stable adulthood．But that's not necessarily a bad thing．In our desire to find satisfaction，we will work harder，strive for ways to keep life interesting，and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents'generation did．
