Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the enormous number of student questions in the online class,Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence.This online course is a core requirement of Georgia Tech's online Master of Science in Computer Science program.Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants,but that wasn't enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students. Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support.When students feel confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered,their motivation to continue begins to fade.Professor Goel decided to do something to remedy (改进) this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson,which is based on the IBM Watson platform. Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums.At first,the virtual assistant wasn't too great.But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40,000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched.Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers.After some adjustments and sufficient time,Jill was able to answer the students' questions correctly 97% of the time.The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn't know she was a computer.The students,who were studying artificial intelligence,were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn't tell it apart from a real human being.Goel didn't inform them about Jill's true identity until April 26.The students were actually very positive about the experience. The goal of Professor Goel's virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum.The name Jill Watson will,of course,change to something else next semester.Professor Goel has a much more hopeful outlook on the future of artificial intelligence than,say,Elon Musk,Stephen Hawking,Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak.(1)What do we learn about Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence? ____ A.It is a robot that can answer students' questions.B.It is a course designed for students to learn online.C.It is a high-tech device that revolutionizes teaching.D.It is a computer program that aids student learning.(2)What problem did Professor Goel meet with? ____ A.His students were unsatisfied with the assistants.B.His course was too difficult for the students.C.Students' questions were too many to handle.D.Too many students dropped out of his course.(3)What do we learn about Jill Watson? ____ A.She turned out to be a great success.B.She got along pretty well with students.C.She was unwelcome to students at first.D.She was released online as an experiment.(4)How did the students feel about Jill Watson? ____ A.They thought she was a bit too artificial.B.They found her not as capable as expected.C.They could not but admire her knowledge.D.They could not tell her from a real person.

Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts.However,only a few would make it.But does that mean you'll never get the chance to work in space?Not necessarily. In fact,some of the space jobs are not only for astronauts and they all sound just cool.One of the most interesting space jobs is "chief sniffer (嗅探员)".NASA has already had a sniffer named George Aldrich,whose job is to smell materials before they are used in spaceships. Using your nose at work might sound a little strange,but the job is actually important.A spaceship is of small size and high temperature,which makes smells inside stronger.And once a spaceship is sent,astronauts have no ways to run away from unpleasant smells.More importantly,smelling objects can help find things that could do harm to astronauts' health. Another job,the "space tour guide",may seem a little ahead of its time—after all,there aren't any tourists there.But now,many companies are starting to provide space trips and some rich space lovers have ordered the tours.It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations (目的地). Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge to help passengers get the most out of their journey.Space tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true beauty of the space travel. Astronauts often spend long time in space with the same group of people,which is why a "space psychologist (心理学家)" is also needed to help astronauts overcome bad feelings. "We're crossing the boundaries (界限) between science fiction and reality," said Rohit Talwar,director of the US company Fast Future Research, "Things we've seen in movies are now becoming reality!"根据材料内容选择最佳答案。(1)How many space jobs are mentioned in the text? ____ A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.(2)What's George Aldrich's job at NASA mainly about? ____ A.Cheering astronauts up with excellent stories.B.Cleaning up dangerous things found in spaceships.C.Checking the size and temperature of the spaceship.D.Keeping astronauts safe from things of unpleasant smells.(3)A space tour guide needs to be ____ .A.helpful in relaxing and full of energyB.rich in money and interested in spaceC.excellent in knowledge and good at storytellingD.successful in research and active in communicating(4)What does Rohit Talwar think of future research in space? ____ A.It's relaxing.B.It's moving.C.It's exciting.D.It's worrying.(5)What is the best title for the text? ____ A.True beauty of space travelB.Bright future of space researchC.Dangerous life of being a snifferD.More choices of working in space

If you have ever walkedpast math teacher Mr. Kelley's room, you may have noticed how cheerful it is throughout the year.One thing that makes his classroom so much fun is the celebrity(名人)pictures on his front wall.Kelley's students have been writing to celebrities from across the nation asking for a photo and afew words of advice."It really takes a lot of time and money,"Kelley said.First,Kelley and hisstudents make a list of all the celebrities to whom they want to write.Once a student picks a star.Kelley looks it up in his book of address to see if he can write to that person.Writing to the stars takes a lot of time because he has to personalize each letter, print themout, and address them. In the letter, Kelley asks the celebrity to send his classes a picture withsome advice he or she would give to today's youth.Kelley takes up a collection in all of his classes and asks each students to contribute(捐)adollar pay for the postage. Once Kelley mails off all the letters, the fun really begins. So far he hasgotten back about 20 letters and pictures."The only thing that isn't cool is when the celebritysends the picture back with no advice on it, which is my entire purpose in doing this,"said Kelley.When he gets at least three pictures returned, he lets classes guess who the three stars are, Hekeeps score of how many celebrities each class has guessed.Jason Bryant, a student, said,"It'sbecome a contest(竞赛)between the classes to see who can guess the most stars, and it's reallyfun."(1) (单选题)What is the test about?A.celebrities spending photos to Kelley.B.celebrities giving advice to students.C.Kelley and his classes writing to celebrities.D.Kelley inviting celebrities to his classes.(2) (单选题)The expression"personalize each letter"(Linel,Para. 2) means"____"A.to print out cach otherB.to personally send out each otherC.to find the address of each celebrityD.to make the letter suitable for a particular star(3) (单选题)Who pays to send out letters?A.Kelley himself.B.Kelley's Students.C.The contest organizer.D.Jason Bryant.(4) (单选题)What is Kelley's main purpose of writing the letters?A.To educate his students.B.To have pictures for his office wall.C.To improve his students' letter writing skills.D.To help his students know more about the celebrities.(5) (单选题)According to Jason Bryant, they find a lot of fun in____.A.studying mathB.reading repliesC.the name-guessing gameD.receiving pictures from celebrities

You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩2、考生可能带来的副作用3、我对考试的看法In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject. Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?七、最难忘的人Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The most unforgettable Person I ever Know. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、我生活中最难忘的人是······2、为什么他(或她)令我难以忘怀3、结论In my life I have met many people who are really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever know is my English teacher.What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in explorating something deeper in this field. Second, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.八、表作文Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Statistics in People’s Daily Expenses in Xi’an. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、Describe the changes indicated in the table.2、The reasons for the change.3、Make predictions about the future tendency.(表死活贴不上去,只能贴文章了,^_^)What is shown in the table above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the daily expenses in Xi’an from 1995 to 1999. The expenses on food have declined by 30% while those on clothing and recreation have increased respectively by 9% and 7%.There are two factors accounting for these changes. In the first place, the risen income resulting from economic growth plays a vital role in the less expense on food. In the second place, when food presents no worry to the average, people begin to focus more of their interest on handsome appearance and happy leisure time. As a result of such a shift, spending on clothing and recreation increases year by year.From the analyses made above, with the further growth in economy and more changes in life style, the tendency indicated in the table will continue in the better direction.九、压力Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Is Stress a Bad Thing? You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、有人害怕压力2、有人认为压力并不是坏事3、我的看法In the past few years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive. They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally.In fact, however, stress isn’t the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Above all, unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. Furthermore, people under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth—the very aim of a human life.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.十、就业Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Jobs for Graduates. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:1、大学生难找工作2、原因很多3、决的办法Job hunting has always been a headache for college students. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various. On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market. On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures. First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to small cities and country. There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. In a word, if we pay much attention, the situation can be improved.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
