It is the vision (设想) of the Public Transit Police Department to achieve a transit system free from crime and disorder. Transit Police programs are designed to enhance safety, increase riders and preserve the quality of our system's structure. Transit has its own police force committed to the safety of its customers and drivers, serving seven counties and 85 cities in the region. There are 23 full-time officers, 146 part-time officers and five administrative (行政的) staff, devoted to one thing: public safety. You've probably seen Transit Police officers patrolling (巡逻) bus routes in cars or on foot. During visits with drivers, Transit Police either ride along or they step on board to greet drivers and passengers. Sometimes officers patrol out of uniform — one could be on your next bus. The fare inspectors on Hiawatha light-rail trains are Transit Police officers. Every new Public Transit bus has an on-board security camera. Videotapes from these cameras help Transit Police identify and charge criminals. Downtown patrols built up in early 2002 have improved the quality of life for downtown residents and transit customers. Ten full-time police officers are assigned to the Minneapolis and St. Paul downtown areas, to ensure public security. Downtown arrests have gone from 490 in April to September 2001 to 941 during the same period in 2002.1. The responsibility of the police force of Public Transit is to ______. A. enhance public securityB. build a free transit systemC. control the number of ridersD. ensure a convenient transit system2. Sometimes patrolling officers on buses are unnoticed because ______. A. they look like fare inspectors B. they don't wear uniform C. they are polite to passengers D. they often take a back seat 3. The purpose of installing a camera inside the new buses is to ______. A. keep a close watch over the road ahead B. take pictures of the passengers on board C. increase the efficiency of the transit system D. help the transit police detect criminals 4. Two figures are mentioned in the last paragraph to indicate ______. A. the Public Transit system's efficiency B. the success of Transit Police program C. the police's emphasis on security of downtown areas D. the worsening security condition of the area 5. The best title for the passage might be ______. A. Police and SecurityB. New Security MeasuresC. Transit Police Security ProgramD. Crime-free Public Transit System

Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Technology is never a neutral tool for achieving human ends. Technological innovations reshape people as they use these innovations to control their environment. Artificial intelligence, for example, is altering humanity. While the term AI conjures up anxieties about killer robots or catastrophic levels of unemployment, there are other, deeper implications. As AI increasingly shapes the human experience, how does this change what it means to be human? Central to the problem is a person's capacity to make choices, particularly judgments that have moral implications. Aristotle argued that the capacity for making practical judgments depends on regularly making them-on habit and practice. We see the emergence of machines as substitute judges in a variety of everyday contexts as a potential threat to people learning how to effectively exercise judgment themselves. In the workplace, managers routinely make decisions about who to hire or fire and which loan to approve, to name a few. These are areas where algorithmic(算法的) prescription is replacing human judgment, and so people who might have had the chance to develop practical judgment in these areas no longer will. Recommendation engines, which are increasingly prevalent intermediaries in people's consumption of culture, may serve to constrain choice and minimize luck. By presenting consumers with algorithmically selected choices of what to watch, read, stream and visit next, companies are replacing human taste with machine taste. In one sense, this is helpful. After all, machines can survey a wider range of choices than any individual is likely to have the time or energy to do on their own. At the same time, though, this selection is optimizing for what people are likely to prefer based on what they've preferred in the past. We think there is some risk that people's options will be constrained by their past in a new and unanticipated way. As machine learning algorithms improve and as they train on more extensive data sets, larger parts of everyday life are likely to become utterly predictable. The predictions are going to get better and better, and they will ultimately make common experiences more efficient and pleasant. Algorithms could soon—if they don't already—have a better idea about which show you'd like to watch next and which job candidate you should hire than you do. One day, humans may even find a way for machines to make these decisions without some of the biases that humans typically display. But to the extent that unpredictability is part of how people understand themselves and part of what people like about themselves, humanity is in the process of losing something significant. As they become more and more predictable, the creatures inhabiting the increasingly Al-mediated world will become less and less like us. 46. What do we learn about the deeper implications of AI?A) It is causing catastrophic levels of unemployment.B) It is doing physical harm to human operators.C) It is altering moral judgments.D) It is reshaping humanity. 47. What is the consequence of algorithmic prescription replacing human judgment?A) People lose the chance to cultivate the ability to make practical judgments.B) People are prevented from participating in making major decisions in the workplace.C) Managers no longer have the chance to decide which loan to approve.D) Managers do not need to take the trouble to determine who to hire or fire. 48. What may result from increasing application of recommendation of recommendation of culture?A) Consumers will have much limited choice.C) It will be easier to decide on what to enjoy.B) Consumers will actually enjoy better luck.D) Humans will develop tastes similar to machines'. 49. What is likely to happen to larger parts of our daily life as machine learning algorithms improve?A) They will turn out to be more pleasant.C) They can be completely anticipated.B) They will repeat our past experience.D) They may become better and better. 50. Why does the author say the creatures living in the more and more AI-mediated world will become increasingly unlike us?A) They will have lost the most significant human element of being intelligent.B) They will no longer possess the human characteristic of being unpredictable.C) They will not be able to understand themselves as we can do today.D) They will be deprived of what their predecessors were proud of about themselves.

Is 20th-century capitalism failing 21st-century society? Members of the global elite debated that unusual question at the annual World Erum. It is encouraging that more than three years since the global financial crisis, a belated (迟到的) process of soul- searching has begun in search of the right lessons to learn from it. There is a great difference, however, between being willing to talk about an issue and being ready to act. It is a difference between those who still believe that all governments can do is get out of the way and those who believe there is a real role for governments in first reviving our economies, and then setting the right rules for future success. If we learned anything from the 1930s, it was that governments cannot shrug their shoulders and watch as their own people are being laid off. Nor should we forget the causes of the current growth and debt crisis as we seek to put our economies on a more sustainable footing Both the United States and Britain suffered because their economies were overly reliant on the financial sector's artificial profits; living standards for the many worsened while the economic rewards went to the top 1 percent; a capitalist model encouraged short-term decision-making oriented toward quarterly profits rather than long-term health; and interest groups like giant banks were deemed too big to fail or too powerful to challenge. We need to recognize that the trickle-down promise (benefits given to the rich will eventually be passed on to the poor)of conservative theorists has turned into a gravity-defying reality in which wealth has flowed upward disproportionately and. too often, undeservedly. To address the problem requires fresh thinking from governments about how people train for their working lives and what a living wage should be. Governments can set better—not necessarily more—rules to encourage productive businesses that make and sell real products and services. We need rules that discourage the predatory (掠夺的) behavior of those seeking the fast buck through hostile takeovers and asset-stripping that do not have the interests of the shareholders, the employees or the economy at heart. And governments must remember they are elected to serve the people, not the powerful lobbies who can pay for access or influence. Too often the real enemies of market capitalism are some of the leading beneficiaries of the current model, which favors big monopolies and consumer exploitation. I believe that changing the rules of capitalism will require a change in what citizens expect and ask of politics. The question is not so much whether 20th-century capitalism is failing 21st-century society but whether politics can rise to the challenge of changing a flawed edel.1 What important lesson could be drawn from the 1930s?A The government should play a role in reviving the economy.B The government should provide subsidies for the unemployed.C The government should not ignore the role of economists in the nation's economy.D The government should not brush aside ideas from the World Erum.2 What is one of the factors contributing to the recent financial crisis in the United States and Britain?A Their business giants' neglect of attending to long-term planning.B Their governments' unnecessary intervention in economic affairs.C Their governments failing to provide assistance for the poor and needy.D Their economies relying heavily on the operations of the financial sector.3 What does the author say about the so-called trickle-down promise?A It defies conventional wisdom.B It has failed to materialize.C It will benefit both the rich and the poor once realized.D It will prove fatal to capitalist economy once broken.4 What rules does the author say governments should set to guarantee sustainable economic development?A Rules that help businesses to expand fast but in a healthy way.B Rules that discourage businesses from making quick money.C Rules that encourage businesses to make and sell real products and services.D Rules that ensure the increase of shareholders' dividends and employees' pay.5 What should the government do about the current economy according to the author?A Eliminate the real enemies of market capitalism.B Undertake to repair the flaws in the edel.C Prevent the lobbies from exerting too much influenceD Diminish the role politics plays in national economy.
