artificial intelligence?The question swept the world last week when a Google-developed program calledAlphaGo defeated the world top player,South Korean Lee Se-dol,4-1.So,what comes next?Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence,or AI in short,will be a bad thing for humans.In an interview with the BBC in 2021,UK scientistStephen Hawking warned that“The development of full artificial intelligence couldmean the end of the human race.So are we really about to live in the world shown in theTerminator movies?“Not quite,answeredThe Economist.After all,it s not hard to get acomputer program to remember and produce facts.What is hard is getting computersto use their knowledge in everyday situations.“We think that,for the human being,things like sight and balance(视觉平衡),are natural and ordinary in our life.Thomas Edison,founder of MotionFigures,a company that is bringing AI to boys,told the newspaper.“But fora robot,to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions tobe made every second,and its really difficult to do.创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日AsThe Economist put it,“We have a long way to go before AI can truly beginto be similar to the human brain,even though the technology can be great.Meanwhile,John Markoff ofTheNewYorkTimessaid that researchers should buildartificial intelligence to make people more effective.“Our fate is in our own hands,he wrote.“Since technology depends onthe values of its creators,we can make human choices that use technology to improvethe world.21.What was the result of the match?A.Lee So-dol won AlphaGo 4-1.B.Lee So-dol was defeated.C.Google program beat AlphaGo.D.Neither side won the match.22.What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks?A.Its very hard for AI to beat the human brain.B.AI would take the placeof human beings.C.AI can make various decisions quickly.D.AI does better than humansin sight and balance.23.Who believes much has to be done to improve AI?A.Stephen Hawking.B.John Markoff.C.The New York Times.D.TheEconomist.24.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A.AI will improve the world completely.B.AI is in the control of humanbeings.C.AI may bring disasters to human beings.D.AI will make our future out创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日of control.B BNo one can deny that buttons are an important clothing device.But,can theyrise to the level of art?Organizers of an exhibit in New York City think so.Peter Souleo Wright organized“The Button Show at Rush Arts Gallery inthe Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.Eleven artists used the small,ordinaryobjects to create sculptures,portraits and wearable art.Some of the works arepolitical,some are personal and others are just fun.Wright said each artist reimagines and repurposes the buttons to make art.“What I tried to do with this show,he said,“was to look at artists whowere promoting that level of craft.He said he wanted the button art to be comparable to a painting“because ofthe amount of detail and precision in the work.Artist Beau McCall produced“A Harlem Hangover.It looks like a wine bottlethat fell over on a table.A stream of connected red buttons hand over the side,like wine flowing down.Similar red button form a small pool on the floor.McCall layers buttons of different shapes and sizes to createthe bottle.Thestitching that holds them together is also part of the artistic design.For San Francisco-based artist Lisa Kokin,buttons are highly personal.Afterher father died in 2021,she created a portrait of him using only buttons.Thatmemorial to her father led to other button portraits,including thoseof activistsRosa Parks and Cesar Chavez.创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日 Others use buttons for details.Artist Amalia Amaki of Tuscaloosa,Alabama,placed them on and around old photographs.Los Angeles artist Camilla Taylor attachedbuttons to three large sculptures that look like headless animals with long,narrowlegs.“The Button Show ends at March 12.The Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundationpaid for the exhibition.The foundation was created in 1995 by the Simmons brothers:artist Danny,hip-hop producer Russell and rapper Rev.Run.The foundation seeksto bring the arts to urban youth and to provide support for new artists.25.Why did Wright organize“The Button Show?A.To show the importance of buttons.B.To support the new artists.C.To raise the button show to the level of art.D.To create sculptures andportraits.26.Whose works are personal?A.Peter Souleo Wright.B.Beau McCall.C.Lisa Kokin.D.AmaliaAmaki.27.If you want to see“The Button Show,you should _.A.buy tickets before March 12 B.phone Peter Souleo Wright beforeMarch 12C.go to Rush Arts Gallery

on your passport.According to the results of an international passenger survey,Australiansare the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch,comparedto 35 percent of

off.They are also the first to reach for their credit card for somein-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming.Americans on the other hand liketo use their time in the air more productively-when not drinking-choosing towork while flying a 350000 feet.Meanwhile,Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers-spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality.Comparatively,Brazilians conduct their conversations online via e-mail,messaging apps or socialmedia.Despite plane food having a bad reputation,seven out of ten interviewees saidthey were happy to eat up on the selection in-flight snacks and meals.In-flightmagazines were also popular with four out of five passengers claiming to read them.The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flightentertainment.“The industry has greatly improved the comfort,entertainment and创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日onboard service,and passengers

newroadwayproject.Frenchofficialsannouncedplanstoconstructa1,000-kilometer-long solar roadway,with each kilometer capable of providing enoughcheap,renewable energy to power 5,000 homes.“The maximum effect of the program,if successful,could be to furnish 5million people with electricity,or about 8 percent of the French population,Segolence Royal,Frances minister of ecology and energy,said at a conference,reportsGlobal Construction Review.The street-or“Wattway-was made possible through the cooperationbetween the National Institute of Solar Energy and French civil engineering firmColas.Tests for the road will begin in the spring.The entire project will takean estimated five yearsto complete,but builders won t have to destroy existingroads in the meantime.Only about a quarter of an inch thick,the solar panelscan simply be glued on top of existing streets and are durable耐用的enough tobear heavy traffic and weather conditions.Despite the bad traffic Parisians associate with their journey to work everyday,the average French roadway is packed for only 10 percent of the day,accordingto Colas figures.That will leave the solar street with the majority of the dayto gather energy from the sun,which makes the project quite promising.The panels创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日collect solar power through a thin layer ofpolycrystalline silicon多晶硅andchange it into

room contents outside.Psychologically itseasier to sort and let go ifyoure one step removed.Its also less likely that the clutter will make it backinside.37 .Classify them as dump丢弃,donate and keep.Be
