14、vs TigersBArjuns AppsOne stormy day, twelve-year-old Arjun Kumar was late getting home from school. It had been raining heavily near his school in Chennai, India. This delayed his school bus, and when he finally arrived, Arjuns parents were worried.His parents concern gave Arjun an ideahed create an
15、 app, which can tell parentsthe location of their childrens school bus. While researching different ways to write apps, Arjun located an online programming tool on the website of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT was making the tool, called App Inventor, available to anyone who wanted t
16、o use it. As the motto on MITs website states, Anyone Can Build Apps That Impact the World.Arjun got to work doing just that. Using App Inventor, he created an app called “Ez School Bus Locator.” If a school introduced this app into its bus system, parents could log on to see the locations and estim
17、ated arrival times of their childrens school bus. Like other mapping apps, Ez School Bus Locator relied on GPS. GPS helps users determine their location, based on signals from a set of twenty-four satellites that orbit Earth. GPS-based apps calculate the location of a device by measuring the distanc
18、es from three different GPS satellites. Thats how Arjuns app determined where the buses were located.The app could also confirm whether individual children were on the bus. Ez School Bus Locator used a specific bar code( 编 码 )to identify each student. Students checked in when they got on and off the
19、 bus by using bar codes on their phones. As the bus driver drove, the app sent automatic messages to parents.Does Ez School Bus Locator sound like a good idea? MIT thought so. In2012, MIT held a contest to honor the best apps that had been created using App Inventor. Arjuns app won first place in th
20、e K-8 division, and in 2013, the app was available for purchase online.Arjun didnt stop there. He continued developing new apps and he even started his own software development company. When asked for pointers for other young inventors, Arjun advised, “Look for problems around you, and get inspired
21、from them. Youll see a lot of opportunities to use your skills to make this world a better place to live!”24. What is the passage mainly about?A. The life of inventor Arjun Kumar.B. A students invention of a bus locator app.C. How App Inventor helped Arjun write an app.D. How the rainy weather in In
22、dia affected traffic.25. What do we know about Arjuns app from the passage?A. It could be downloaded online for free.B. It helped the children know where they were.C. It was introduced by Arjun into the school bus system.D. It used bar codes to track which children were on board.26. Why did Arjun co
23、ntinue to work on software development?A. To inspire more young inventors.B. To win many awards for his inventions.C. To solve problems that he saw in the world.D. To earn money to continue his education at MIT.27. What can we learn from Arjun Kumars story?A. Youth means limitless possibilities.B.A
24、man owes his success to his family support.C. If you dont aim high, you will never hit high.D. Good problem solvers are problem finders first.CA century ago, millions of Quino checkerspot butterflies flew above Southern California. Each about the size of a paperclip(回形针), the Quinos hatched in great
25、 numbers each spring.Toward the end of the twentieth century, however, the development of farms and cities dramatically reduced the butterflys habitat. By 1997, the population of the Quinos had declined to a tiny amount of its historical numbers.The Quinos situation continued to worsen. Wildfires bu
26、rned much of its habitat, and temperatures were getting warmer and drier, making the environment more difficult to the butterflys host plant called the dwarf plantain.Scientists knew that Quino caterpillars( 毛 虫 ) relied on the dwarf plantain as a foodsource. Each spring, the adult female butterflie
27、s laid eggs on dwarf plantains. When the caterpillars hatched, they fed on the plantain leaves. However, in the hot, dry summer, the plantains died off. The caterpillars responded by entering a state called diapause. Then, when normal winter rains came and the plantains flowers came out again, the c
28、aterpillars came back to life and started eating. Once theyd grown large enough, the caterpillars formed pupae( 蛹 ) and emerged as adult butterflies. This strategy worked well in most years, but as average temperatures rose and rainfall decreased, the caterpillars werent getting sufficient food, and
29、 fewer developed into butterflies.Because the area where they lived was surrounded by developed cities and desert landscapes, the Quinos had limited options. They took off anyway, flying eastward into the hills. They landed in mountainous open spaces east of Los Angeles and San Diego. They found no
30、dwarf plantains there. The females began laying their eggs on the leaves of other plants, primarily the Collinsia concolor. These plants remained green longer into the summer months. When the caterpillars Quinos survived, and their numbers grew in their new home.Scientists were surprised when they b
31、egan encounter innumerous Qunios in the eastern hills. They were cheered to learn that these small insects had adapted to changing conditions. The Quinos demonstrated the toughness needed to survive by finding not only a new habitat, but a new food source, too.Meanwhile, scientists had been raising
32、Quino caterpillars in a lab and released hundreds of caterpillars into protected areas around San Diego. Between the efforts of scientists and the butterflies own actions, more of those colorfully checkered wings may soon be seen fluttering above the Southern California skies.28. From the passage, w
33、e know Quino checkerspot butterflies in Southern California .A. were an endangered speciesB. couldnt survive the winter coldC. were very adaptable to environmental changesD. couldnt respond to the food shortage on their own29. How did Quino checkerspot butterflies adapt to changed conditions?A. They
34、 travelled to a new habitat.B. They found new dwarf plantains.C. They laid more eggs on host plants.D. They learned to fly high up in the mountains30. What does the underlined word “diapause” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Dying from hunger.B. Stopping bodily functions.C. Becoming more active.D. Su

Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Small, but StrongD. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Find a New HabitatDAs Artificial Intell
36、igence（AI） becomes increasingly sophisticated（复杂的）, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code. Russell argues that as robots take
37、 on more complicated tasks, its necessary to translate our morals into AI language. For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldnt want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values, ” said
38、Russell. Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you woul
39、dnt think thats the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do. It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules. Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior.
40、They are dangerous only if programmers are careless. The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficiently test and theyve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌）. One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct cou
41、rse of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation. If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps（嘟嘟声）, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans arent quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebod
42、y else. The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethica（l 道德的） rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.32. What does the author say about the threat of robots？ A）It may constitute a
43、challenge to computer progranmers. B）It accompanies all machinery involving high technology. C）It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language. D）It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.33. What would we think of a person who invades our personal
44、space according to the author？ A）They are aggressive.B）They are outgoing. C）They are ignorant（无知的）.D）They are ill-bred.34. How do robots learn human values？ A）By interacting with humans in everyday life situations. B）By following the daily routines of civilized human beings. C）By picking up patterns
45、 from massive data on human behavior. D）By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings. 35. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code？ A）Determine what is moral and ethical.B）Design some large-scale experiments. C）Set rules for man-machine interac

47、 that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school.Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities. 37 For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coi
48、l(线圈) and a magnet(磁铁) when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasnt clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world. 38 On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced th
49、at many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser? Where does you
50、r grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you?In addition to this, theres the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. 39 Then we feel we know enough about a person not t
51、o need to engage further with them.The finaland perhaps most worryingway in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, algorithms find out what we like and push more of the same back to
52、us. 40 Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.A. It is still not known why learning gives us such pleasure.B. We are always encouraged to challenge our pre-existing beliefs.C. Yet its widely agreed that curiosity actually
53、makes learning more effective.D. All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with.E. However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology.F. In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits.G. That means we
