【原文】

W: Did you see the news today? China has introduced a robot newsreader on TV.

M: That sounds strange! Who will believe it? All the viewers’ attention will be focused on the robot but not on the news.

W: It’s not an actual robot. It doesn’t have a physical presence. It’s a computer picture, based on a real person and brought to life through artificial intelligence. I think it’s funny.

M: You won’t think it’s funny when cheap robots start taking over your job…and my job. At the speed progress is going, everything will be done by reliable robots soon, and everything will be produced by robots. Where will we humans earn the money to buy the things the robots produce?

W: Don’t be so desperate. Perhaps it will be a lovely world in the future, with robots doing all the hard work so people can do the things they really want to do.

M: Or maybe it will go the way it is already going, where a few smart business people gradually control more and more.

W: Try to look on the bright side. Robots can’t think original thoughts. They can’t produce original art. Creativity — that is where value will be found in the future.

练习册系列答案

Google’s software has already driven 5 million miles in U.S. cities, including an “early rider” test in Phoenix last April. Since then Google has grown confident enough to remove the “auxiliary wheel”: a human “safety driver”. Powering the vehicle’s self-driving functions is a series of cameras, radars and sensors on the car’s roof, which detect everything nearby from other vehicles and passers-by to cyclists.

Kraft stressed that Google’s cars aren’t connected—they don’t need a 5G wireless link to go anywhere. “The car has everything it needs to drive on the car itself.” He said, “There are no signals coming from outer space or something telling it to turn right.” The resulting ride may not be too exciting but safe. Kraft added. “We can see three football fields down the road, we would come to a stop before we ran into these crowds.”

Google’s system has a major advantage over the semi-autonomous（半自主的）systems of Tesla and Cadillac, both of which need continued human attention. Kraft said Google plans to have service in every major city by 2028 with thousands of cars driving themselves.

【1】What does the underlined words “auxiliary wheels” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A car that is very old.

B. A driver who has been trained well.

C. A part of a car used to sound the alarm.

D. A condition where a driver doesn’t know his role.

【2】Why is Google’s car thought to be safe in the text?

A. Because it can get away from danger easily.

B. Because it is equipped with 5G wireless link.

C. Because it can stop before the crowds occasionally.

D. Because it can keep a safe distance from everything nearby.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A. Google’s software has not been tested.

B. Google’s cars have not been put into the market.

C. Driving the Google’s car may not be too exciting.

D. Google’s cars still need driver’s attention all the way.

【4】What does the author think of the Google’s car?

A. It’s affordable.

B. It’s still a theory.

C. It has a bright future.

D. It’s the most advanced by now.

【题目】阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

We already know that the underwater world is anything but silent. It is full of natural sounds produced by animals and by the motion of the atmosphere and water. But today’s researchers are increasingly concerned about the man-made noises under the water. They are confusing whales and other marine animals

Although hearing is important to all animals, the special qualities of the undersea world emphasize the use of sound. Underwater sound allows marine animals to gather information and communicate at great distances and from all directions. Loud underwater noises can cause damage to their hearing. And nowadays it's becoming too much for marine wildlife. Evidence shows that whales will swim hundreds of miles, rapidly change their depth, and even beach themselves to get away from the sounds of sonar.

You might think lower noises, typically caused by shipping or construction, do not pose a threat to marine animals. In fact, while they may not kill the animals directly, they can disturb their ability to locate food, find mates and avoid predators (掠食动物)).Scientists looked at the effects of noise from small motorboats on coral-reef fish at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. In the lab, the fish had been trained to recognize the smell of three common predators as a threat. Some fish were trained in the presence of boat noise, while the others had training with the natural sounds of the ocean. It turned out that the first group showed no fright reactions when exposed to the predator. However, the other group was scared. And under the influence of underwater noise on this group, only 20 percent of fish survived, compared to almost 70 percent of unexposed fish.

Humans rely on the ocean for its natural resources and biodiversity. The ocean also plays an important role in regulating( 调节)temperatures, As Cousteau said, "For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.

Last Friday, I was playing in the park while I saw a wallet on a bench. Clearly, someone has left it there by accident. I picked up and saw what was in it. I found out some money and a card with a phone number. Believing that the owner would be worrying, I immediately dialed the number. A man answered it in a anxious voice. Heard I had his wallet, he said he would come over right away. Ten minutes later, the man arrived. After making sure he was the owner, I handed the wallet back for him. With his thumbs up, he expressed his thank to me repeatedly. I felt happily that I was able to help.

【题目】Islands in the world are famous for different things. But Hawaii is special for its variety of features. Beautiful sandy beaches, active volcanoes (火山), a great canyon (溪谷) and special history and culture add up to create its famously romantic atmosphere.

Formed by volcanoes at the bottom of the sea, the Hawaii islands are like a necklace in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 6,000 kilometres off the west coast of Mexico. There are eight main islands in the group, including Hawaii (or Big Island), Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai，and Niihau.

The youngest and biggest island, also called Hawaii was formed 430,000 years ago and is still growing. Kauai, the oldest was formed 5.1 million years ago. For tourists, the sight of the lava(熔岩) that still flows from some of the volcanoes down to the sea, is a major attraction.

Hawaii is the newest and smallest state in the US. In 1900, the islands joined the US. In modern history, it will always be remembered for the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese air force in 1941.

About 1,000 years ago, the islands were settled by Polynesians (波利尼西亚人), Captain James Cook led the first group of Westerners there in 1778.

Native Hawaiians have a special culture and language. Although nowadays English is the official language of Hawaii, folk music and dancing are still widely practiced. The traditional dance of the islands is the hula, a Hawaiian word that means dance.

Hawaii's reputation for romance was spread when Hollywood started to use its typical music in movies in the 1960's.

Today, Hawaii is famous for its mix of cultures. Chinese, Japanese and Filipinos all live there.

Chinese arrived in the islands as early as the late 18th century. Dr. Sun Yatsen, the famous Chinese revolutionary, grew up there.

Everyone in Hawaii is a member of an ethnic minority (少数民族) and generally they exist in a pleasant harmony (和谐) of races and cultures.
