Robots may seem smart，but they cannot even pick up a chess piece.Let's take a look at some tasks that are easy for kids but not for robots. Pick things up Picking things up is not easy.If we drop our pencil on the floor，our brains work hard.First，we must find the pencil.Then we move our hands to it.A robot cannot always move its "hand" to the right place.When we touch the pencil，it might roll（滚动） a little bit.Robots cannot easily understand this either.So，if you drop a pencil on the floor，a robot will probably roll it around the room. Get around in large space If someone drops us in a building we've never been to，we might feel a bit lost.But we can look around，find a door and get out quickly.But a robot will look everywhere for a door，even on ceilings（天花板） and floors.This is because it's hard for them to understand spaces，especially large，blank things such as walls or ceilings. Understand the world made by people "Common sense" is what we don't need to think or talk about.Because of common sense，we do not look for doors on the ceiling.We pick up a coffee cup by its handle（把手）.We feel whether it has coffee inside，and whether it's hot. A robot？It may turn the cup upside down.It may hold the hot part of the cup.Scientists have tried teaching robots common-sense rules.But even huge databases（数据库） don't help much.Maybe they need more time to learn.（1）What may happen when a robot tries to pick up a pencil？ ____ A.It may break the pencil.B.It may roll the pencil.C.It may not find the pencil.D.It may watch the pencil roll.（2）What will a robot do in order to find a door？ ____ A.Dig a big hole in the wall.B.Only look for large and blank things.C.Search everywhere even the ceilings.D.rop itself in a corner in the building.（3）What can we learn about common sense from the last two paragraphs？ ____ A.Robots can teach themselves common sense.B.Robots have the same common sense as humans.C.Scientists tried teaching robots common-sense rules.D.Huge databases help much for robots to learn common sense.（4）What can we learn from the passage？ ____ A.Robots are not helpful to humans at all.B.Robots are good at picking up small things.C.It is easy for robots to understand large spaces.D.Robots have trouble understanding our world.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries，almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States．Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power，women were not considered an important force in history．Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century，Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution，and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband，John，the second President of the United States．But little or no notice was taken of these contributions．During these centuries，women remained invisible in history books． Throughout the nineteenth century，this lack of visibility continued，despite the efforts of female authors writing about women．These writers，like most of their male counterparts，were amateur historians．Their writings were celebratory in nature，and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources．During the nineteenth century，however，certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged．National，regional，and local women's organizations compiled accounts of their doings．Personal correspondence，newspaper clippings，and souvenirs were saved and stored．These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffé College，and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College．Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians． Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century，most of the writing about women conformed to the"great women"theory of history，just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on"great men．"To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life，female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies，or else important women produced their autobiographies．Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers，activists working for women's right to vote，or authors，and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman．The lives of ordinary people continued，generally，to be untold in the American histories being published． 28．What does the passage mainly discuss？ A．The role of literature in early American histories B．The place of American women in written histories C．The keen sense of history shown by American women D．The"great women"approach to history used by American historians 29．The word"they"in line 12 refers to ． A．efforts B．sources C．writings D．authors 30．In the second paragraph，what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out？ A．They put too much emphasis on daily activities B．They left out discussion of the influence on money or politics． C．The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate． D．They were printed on poor quality paper． 31．What use was made of the nineteenth-century women's history materials in the Schlesinger Library and the Sophia Smith Collection？ A．They were combined and published in a series of books about women． B．They formed the basis of college courses in the nineteenth century． C．They provided valuable information for twentieth-century historical researchers． D．They were shared among women's colleges throughout the United States．

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.
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.
