The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean.The crew of the Nautilus, a private research
10、ship, recovered the rock particles.The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding some m
11、onths ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington. The scientis
12、ts examined what they believed were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion.The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles(ROVs),called Hercules and Argus. These robotic submarines help researchers find
13、and collect materials from the seafloor. The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied. For this reason, scientists decided to launch the first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean,until the latest research,
14、scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations.The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons. First，meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last lon

Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.4What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration Trust?A.To recover the rock particles. B.

BBusiness value of meteors.CPlenty of natural resources. DThe brainstorm of researchers.6Why do the scientists prefer to search for meteors in the
17、ocean?AThey can find meteors more easily. BThey may find bigger rock particles.CThey like to explore strange sea areas. DThey have better submarine equipment.7What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?AOffer clues for the search. BDescribe the process of the search.CStress the importan
18、ce of the event. DGive reasons to support a guess. CFairy tales perform many functions. They entertain, encourage imagination and teach problem-solving skills. They can also provide moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony
19、. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI (artificial intelligence) can take to its cold, mechanical heart.The collected stories of different cultures tea
20、ch children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fables, novels and other literature. We believe story comprehension in robots can prevent the intelligent robots from killing humanity which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in
21、technology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called “Quixote”. It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs
22、 to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line; it can interact with the storekeeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives, the robot will come to the conclusion that the most effici
23、ent means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.Quixote would work best on a robot that has a very lim
24、ited function. Its a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories m

D.The development of robots is still in a baby step.D The BBC recently released a new list detailing how much it pays its t
28、op talent. While the list suggested that there had been some progress, the reality remains somewhat depressing for women. Despite a narrowing of the BBCs gender pay gap, the revelation caused accusations that the British broadcaster was actually moving backward considering that last year only the se
29、ven highest paid were men, while this year only two women ranked among the 20 highest paid. The BBCs director general, Tony Hall, said the new figures showed that the broadcaster was taking positive steps, and he emphasized that the overall goal was to get to a 50-50 split on the list. That, he ackn
30、owledged, could “take some time”. The corporation, whose budget largely comes from fees paid annually by most British households, was required to reveal the salaries of its top celebrities as part of a negotiation with the British government. Several BBC hosts took pay cuts as the corporation closed
31、 the gender gap. Eight women joined the list of top-paid celebrities this year. Despite the apparent progress, some critics accused the BBC of slipping since the number of highest male earners has increased. Ms. Gracie resigned after learning that her male counterparts earned at least 50 percent mor

She remained at the BBC, however, saying that she would return to her post only when she was paid equally. “This report sets out a true reflection of everything weve heard from those whove contributed to the work,” said Donalda MacKinnon, the director of BBC Scotland. “We commit to takin
33、g forward the recommendations that will bring a step-change in gender equality at the BBC.” But womens rights advocates said that the broadcaster still had work to do. “The organization is clearly still a long way from valuing women as much as it values men,” said Sophie Walker, leader of the Womens

44、h is more important when designing a building: beauty or function?At the start of the twentieth century, Louise Sullivan, one of the creators of modern architecture, said that form follows function. Functionalism is used to describe the idea behind architect which primarily focuses on the 21 of a bu

In the modern world, it seems that most architects 23 both ideas: aiming to create buildings which are both functional and beautiful.The reason for creating a building in the first place is
46、clearly very important. 24 , when building an airport terminal, you need to think of the 25 of passengers as well as planes. Passengers want to get to their plane as quickly as they can, and planes need to be parked in the most efficient way. As such, many airport terminals have a circular shape wit

Living or working in a ugly place creates a(n) 28 and uninspiring environment. 29 , an attractive building can make people feel happier a
48、nd increase their motivation to work.There is also a wider responsibility to society which architects have to consider. Beautiful, well-constructed buildings are a 30 of a civilized society and reflect well on the business or reputation of the owner. Ugly public buildings, however, can project a neg
49、ative image of the organization.In theory, there seems to be no reason why architecture cannot be both functional and beautiful. Yet 31 , this can cause problems. The Modern International style of the 1920s and 1930s, an example of which is the Guggenheim Museum in New York, was supposed to combine

Also, the ramp is so narrow that it can become 33 . It seems that even this celebrated design has 34 with functionality.If arc
