IntelligenceAsArtificialIntelligence(AI)becomesincreasinglycomplicated,there are growing concerns that robots couldbecome a threat.This danger can be41,according tocomputer science professor Stuart Russell if we figure outhow to turn human42into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicatedtasks,its necessary totranslate ourmorals into AIlanguage.43,if a robot does chores around the house,you wouldnt want it to put the pet cat in the oven to makedinner for the44children.“You would want thatrobot45with a good set of values,”said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic humanvalues.For example,mobile robots have been programmed tokeep a46distance from humans.Obviously there arecultural differences,but if you were talking to another personand they came upclose in your personal space,you第 6 页wouldntthinkthatsthekindofthinga47brought-up person would do.It will be possible to48more complicated moralmachines,if only we can find a way to set out human valuesas clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawingpatterns from large sets of data on human behavior.They aredangerous only if programmers are49 .The biggest50with robots going against humanvalues is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing andtheyve produced a system that will51some kind oftaboo(禁忌).One simple check would be to program a robot tocheck the correct course of action with a human whenpresented with a(n)52situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for themicrowave,it has the opportunity to stop,send out beeps,and ask for53from a human.If we humans arentquite sure about a decision,we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will bedeciding exactly what we believe in54,and how tocreate a set ofethical（伦理的）rules.But if we55ananswer,robots could be good for humanity.41.A.avoided B.revised42.A.B.behaviorspersonalities43.A.Instead

connected with the larger world that can goanywhere with me.I also love my laptop，because it holds allof my writing and thoughts.In spite of this love of technology,I know that there are times when I need to move away fromthese devices and truly communicate with others.On occasion,I teach a course called History Matters for agroup of higher education managers.My goals for the classinclude a full discussion of historical themes and ideas.Because I want students to thoroughly study the materialsand exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom,Ihave a rule no laptop,iPads,phones,etc.When studentswere told my rule in advance of the class,some of them werenot happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this ruleinclude unpleasant experiences in the past with studentsmisusing technology.Theres a bit of truth to that.Somestudents assume that I am anti-technology.Theres notruth in that at all.I love technology and try to keep up with it,so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at第 8 页the door is that I think there are very few places in which wecan have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas.Interruptions by technology often break concentration andallow for too much dependence on outside information forideas.I want students to dig deep within themselves forinspiration and ideas.I want them to push each other tothink differently and make connections between the coursematerials and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for manyyears and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction withthe environment that I create.Students realize that with deepconversation and challenge,they learn at a level that helpsthem keep the course materials beyond the classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind abouttechnology use in my history class,but until I hear a reallygood reason for the change,Im sticking to my plan.A fewhours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.56.Some of the students in the history class were unhappywith_.A.thecourse B.theauthorsclassmaterialsregulationsC.discussion

students to get on well with each otherB.improve teaching and offer more helpC.help students to better understand complex themesD.prohibit students being involved in class59.What can we infer from the passage?第 9 页A.The author will carry on the success in the future.B.Some students will be punished according to the rule.C.More and more students will be absent in history class.D.The author will help students concentrate on what theylearn.（B B）Where to DrinkWhere to DrinkCafe San BernardoCafe San BernardoJoin table-tennis and pool-playing port.Cafe San Bernardohas been running since 1912.The Villa
