9．In 2017，AlphaGo defeated Chinese player Ke Jie to become the world's No 1，ending thousands of years of human dominance（控制）in the game．AlphaGo is an artificial intelligence（AI）Go-playing program．（36）E
Artificial intelligence（AI）is usually defined as the science of marking computers do things that require intelligence when done by humans．（37）GThese include learning，reasoning，problem-solving，perception，and language-understanding．
（38）CIn fact we are increasingly depending．upon computer-based artificial intelligence．As Charlie Qrtiz said，head of AL at the Massachusetts-based software company Nuance Communication，"It has opened a window for us．"Smartphones，self-driving cars，intelligent robots，etc．are constantly coming into our life．According to a recent survey，half of the world's AI experts believe human level machine intelligence will be achieved by 2040．This will open up huge possibilities for the enrichment of mankind，from tackling climate change and treating disease to labour-saving devices．
（39）FPhysicist Stephen Hawking last year warned that unless we take care，board games might be the least of it．"The development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race．"（40）AThey believe AlphaGo's victory is a reminder of how fast the world is overcoming the obstacles in the way of AI，and its distribution in the world about us．Although there may yet be no evidence that computers will ever shake off their human masters，we should still treat these development with the humility and caution they deserve．

A．Other scientists have also expressed the concern．
B．Artificial intelligence has both advantages and disadvantages．
C．Defeating a human Go master is not the only thing AI can do．
D．Artificial intelligence will bring us disasters instead of benefits．
E．It was designed by an American Artificial intelligence company．
F．Not all experts hold the optimistic attitudes to the development of AI．
G．Research in AI has so far focused on some special fields of intelligence．

The message I get from the passage is that about the future people from Mainland China are most optimistic，which，as a good quality，is greatly emphasized in the picture．
I don't think this result is surprising．In my opinion，Chinese people have at least two reasons to be optimistic．Firstly，China has a most dynamic economy and her people's living conditions are constantly being improved，which increases their faith in the future．Secondly，compared to many other countries and regions，China enjoys a peaceful and stable social environment，the positive effects of which can never be overestimated．．
As a Chinese student，I feel proud of my country．At the same time，I have great faith in her future，too．I think I will learn to be an optimistic person because whatever situation we happen to be in，only positive outlooks can bring us hope and courage to meet challenges one after another．（157）．

6．1　My professor brother and I have an argument about head and heart，about whether he overvalues IQ while I lean more toward EQ．We typically have this debate about people-can you be friends with an animal？I'd love it if our dog could fetch the morning paper and then read it to me，but I actually care much more about her loyal and innocent heart．There's already enough thinking going on in our house，and we probably spend too much time in our heads．Where we need some role modeling is in instinct，and that's where a dog is a roving revelation．
2　I did not grow up with dogs，which meant that my older daughter's respectful but unyielding determination to get one required some adjustment on my part．I often felt she was training me：from age 6to 9，she gently schooled me in their personalities，whispered to the dogs we encountered so they would charm and persuade me，demonstrated by her self-discipline that she was ready for the responsibility．And thus came our dog Twist，whom I sometimes mistake for a third daughter．
3　At first I thought the challenge would be to train her to sit，to walk calmly beside us and not go wildly．But I soon discovered how much more we had to learn from her than she from us．
4　For example，that the secret to a child's success is less rare genius than persistence，Twist's ability to stay on task is a model for us all，especially if the task is trying to capture the sunbeam that flicks around the living room as the wind blows through the branches outside．She never succeeds，and never gives up．This includes when she runs square into walls．
5　Then there is her unfailing patience，which breaks down only when she senses that dinnertime was 15minutes ago and we have failed to notice．Even then she is more eager than indignant，and her refusal to whine shows a restraint of which I'm not always capable when hungry．
6　The lesson I value most is forgiveness．Twist first offered this when she was still very young，7months old．We took her to the vet to be spayed （切除卵巢）．We turned her over to a stranger，who performed a procedure that was probably not pleasant．But when the vet returned her to us，limp and tender，there was no blame．It was as though she already knew that we would not intentionally cause her pain．She forgave and curled up with her head on my daughter's lap．
7　I suppose we could have concluded that she was just blindly loyal and docile．But eventually we knew better．She will ignore us when there are more interesting things to look at，rebuke us when we are careless，bark when she has urgent messages to send．But her patience with our failings and her willingness to give us a second chance are a daily lesson in gratitude．
8　An age that is all about growth and risk needs some anchors and weights．Sometimes I think Twist's devotion keeps my girls on a benevolent leash，one that hangs quietly at their side as they trot（小跑） along but occasionally yanks them back to safety and solid ground．
9　We've weighed so many decisions so carefully in raising our daughters-what school to send them to and what church to attend，when to give them cell phones and with what precautions．But when it comes to what really shapes their character and binds our family，I never would have thought we would owe so much to its smallest member．

5．Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world，famous for its beautiful canals，top art museum，cycling culture，and Red Light District．It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the"Venice of the North"because of its expansive system of bridges and canals．Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam．

Peak Season	Population	Language（s）	Currency	January Climate	July Climate
May to October	813，562	Dutch	Euro	Average high：5.8°C	Average high：22.0°C

Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre，which is full of traditional architecture，shopping centers，and coffee shops．Don't miss the Dam Square and the areas around Spui and Nieuwmarkt．The infamous Red Light District is also in this area，and definitely worth a visit to see what the hype （炒作） is about．You'll also want to check out Amsterdam's Museum Quarter in the South District，which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark．The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem，the Ann Frank House，and the Van Gogh Museum．
If You Have Time
There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam，and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows．The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a hub for celebrity spotting and nightlife today．The Plantage area has most of the city's museums，including the Jewish Historical Museum，the Scheepvaart Museum，and the botanical gardens．
Free Things to Do
•Have a picnic and bring a bottle of wine to relax and people-watch in Vondelpark
•Soak up some sun at one of the city's beaches
•Take a stroll along the canals，smell the flowers，and browse markets along the way
•Hop on one of several free ferry services across the IJ River for lovely city views
Transportation
Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world．This airport is located about 15kilometers southwest of city center．You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station，which has many connecting routes．It's typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is congested and parking is difficult to find．Cycling is incredibly popular here，and it's easy to find cheap bike rentals around town．Amsterdam has a flat terrain and is a great city to explore on foot．
Money Saving Tips
•Unless you really want to see the tulips blooming，avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May．This is when hotel and flight prices surge．
•Look for accommodations in Amsterdam's South District，where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center．
•Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money
•Instead of hiring a tour guide，hop on a canal boat．They're inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city．
•Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights，hotels，and rental cars before you book．

A．Amsterdam's peak season is caused by tulip blooming．

4．A good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language．As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted，"There's more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar．"
Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an incredible ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers．"I always felt that humor was a ceiling that I could never break through，"Hannah Ashley，a public relations account manager in London，who once studied Spanish in Madrid．told The Guardian，"I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker．I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts．"
In fact，most of the time，jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way．Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand．He had achieved huge success in the US，but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing，he discovered that people didn't think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones．
In Australia，meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache．"The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby，"said Melody Cao，who was once a student in Australia．"When I heard jokes I didn't get，I just laughed along．"
In the other two major English-speaking countries，the sense of humor is also different．British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while Britons use irony-basically，saying something they don't mean to make a joke-every day，people in the US don't see the point of using it so often．"British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark，while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings，a bit like Americans themselves，"he wrote in The Guardian．

67．The writer quoted the sentence，"There's more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar．"to show thatD．
A．making jokes can help you make friends with native speakers
B．local jokes can help you to understand the local culture better．
C．understanding jokes requires a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar．
D．to understand its jokes，you'd better learn the culture．
68．What can we guess about Hannah Ashley？D
A．She feels confident in using Spanish．
B．She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language．
C．She thinks that Spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor．
D．She feels that not being able to share their humor makes her seem boring to Spanish people．
69．Joe Wong is used as an example toA．
A．show that there are cultural differences in humor
B．prove that it can be difficult to translate jokes
C．suggest that bilingual people have no problems in making people laugh
D．show that the expressing ability affects the sense of humor
70．From the article，we can learn thatC．
A．jokes about sports are the most difficult ones for foreign people who have different cultural backgrounds
B．Americans might not be able to enjoy British jokes
C．not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easily
D．British people's dark jokes often make people uncomfortable．

3．Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe．The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked （遭遇海难的）．He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela．The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe．He hopes someone will rescue him，but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued．
Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719．Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk，who was a Scottish sailor．On an expedition in 1704，Selkirk had an argument with his ship's captain．Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart．
When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water，Selkirk got off．He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him，but nobody would．The shop then sailed away without him．Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island，known as Aguas Buenas．
Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709．The ship's captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived．
Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirk's camp on Aguas Buenas．They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts．The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there．The post holes are near a fresh water stream．They are located quite high up，which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island．
The most interesting evidence，the archaeologists say，is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate．Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator，so the instrument could have belonged to him．
Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued．Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk，which inspired him to write the book．

63．Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island？D
A．Because he had quarrels with the crew members．
B．Because the captain ordered him to get fresh water．
C．Because he wanted to go on an adventure there．

A．lost its way while sailing
B．was running out of food upon arrival
C．was being navigated by Selkirk
D．lacked fresh water upon arrival
65．How could Selkirk see ships that might rescue him，according to archaeologists？C
A．By asking the crew members on the ships．
B．By sending messages to the ships'captains．
C．By watching from his shelter high on the island．
D．By using a piece of equipment used to navigate．
66．The author wrote the text toA．
A．explain the origin of Robinson Crusoe
B．promote sales to Robinson Crusoe

D．praise Daniel Defoe for his writing inspiration．

2．Have you ever lost your car on a parking lot？You don't have a clue where your car is after shopping．Then you start walking around clicking on your car keys so the alarm goes off．It can be annoying，especially on a hot sunny day．
No，you needn't install（安装）an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car．That's too expensive．You would need to pay a monthly fee to use it．
But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune？Yes，now there is!A California-based company has created a tiny device that works with your smartphone，which could be exactly what you're looki ng for!
What is it？

If you forget where you have parked your car，pull out your smartphone and open the TrackR app．Tap on the"find device"button on the screen and the app will tell you the exact spot of the last known location of the TrackR．
What else can I do with TrackR？
The device is small and unnoticeable enough that you can attach it to your pet．Put it on their collar，and the issue of searching for them when they run away to nearby places will be over!You'll never waste a minute searching the whole house for it．
TrackR even comes with a double-sided glue so you can stick it to your laptop or under your bike seat．Track down and punish the thieves who steal your expensive things!
