The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells，and each of these may have a thousand connections．Such large numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability，but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure．Quite soon，maybe in only 10or 20years perhaps，we will be able to create a machine as complex as the human brain，and if we can we will．It may then take us a long time to make it intelligent by loading in the right software or by changing the architecture but that too will happen．As the intelligence of robots increases to rival that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale，we may use them to expand our frontiers（前沿），first on earth through their ability to remain unharmed in the environments which are harmful to us．Thus，deserts may bloom and the ocean beds may be mined．Further ahead，by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide，the construction of a vast，man-created world in space，home to thousands or millions of people，will be within our power．28．In what way can we make a machine intelligent？ ____ A．By collecting its 10 thousand million cells．B．By working hard for 10 or 20 years．C．By properly programming it or changing its structure．D．By moving forward at a pace as fast as possible．29．The underlined word"rival"means" ____ "．A．confirm B．anchor C．betray D．match30．What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability？ ____ A．He believes they will be useful to human beings．B．He believes that they will control us in the future．C．He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us．D．He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible．31．What can be the best title of the article？ ____ A．What is the future world like？B．Will future machines replace humans？C．Future intelligent machines for humansD．Future intelligent machines out of control．

D Some radio signals were heard in 1967. They were coming from a point in the sky where there was unknown star. They were coming very regularly, too — about once a second, as if they were controlled by clock. The scientists who heard the signals did not tell anybody else. They were rather afraid to tell in case they frightened people. The signals were coming from a very small body—no bigger, perhaps than the earth. Was that why no light could be seen from it? Or were the signals coming from a planet that belonged to some other star? There was no end to the questions, but the scientists kept the news secret. "Perhaps there are intelligent beings out there." they thought, "who are trying to send messages to other planets, or to us?" So the news was not given to the newspaper. Instead, the scientists studied the signals and searched for others like them. Well, all that happened in 1967 and 1968. Since then scientists have learnt more about those strange, regular, radio signals. And they have told the story, of course. The signals do not come from a planet; they come from a new kind of star called a "pulsar"(脉冲星). Pulsars are strong radio stars. They are the smallest but the heaviest stars we know at present. And we can be sure of this: no intelligent beings are living on them. Until now over a hundred other pulsars have been found, and most of them are very like the first one. Recently, Chinese researchers have discovered six pulsars, which are super heavy remains of massive stars, using its Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, known as FAST, thus opening a "new era of Chinese original space discovery". Li Di, the telescope's deputy chief engineer, said FAST is set to be fully operational by the end of 2019. Meanwhile, scientists there will continue to test FAST and cooperate with foreign scientists on space exploration.The radio signals discussed in this passage _____.A. were regularB. were controlled by a clockC. were heard in 1967 onlyD. were secret messagesThe scientists did not tell people about the signals because _____.A. the signals stood for secret messagesB. people might be frightenedC. the signals stood for unimportant messagesD. people would ask them too many questionsA pulsar _____.A. is a well-known satelliteB. is a small and light starC. has intelligent beings that were known at that timeD. is a small heavy star sending out strong radio signalsWhich of the following is TRUE?A. The radio signals were sent by a sky body which was known at that time.B. Scientists have searched for pulsars for many years but found none.C. Chinese researchers have discovered six pulsars using FAST.D. Now is the new era of Chinese space discovery with perfect FAST.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

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.

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. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
