Ivegotten that out of my system,its become clear that while we may or may not bedoomed,the robots are taking over.The latest example is the governments newguidelines for self-driving cars.Tesla,Google and Uber are already testing driverless cars in cities acrossAmerica.Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick is among those predicting that by 2021,self-driving cars will play a big part in urban settings.Nearly 40,000 people died last year in this nation in automobile-relatedaccidents,and we believe driverless cars can save tens of thousands of livesannually.It makes sense.Robot drivers are less likely to get drunk,drive without alicense,text while driving or feel agitated at the scene of a traffic jam.On theother hand,I wonder how these highly sensitive cars will react with walkersconstantly dashing into the street.Will they jam on the brakes every 10 seconds?But theres a bigger picture.Notonly are robots replacing humans behind the创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日

human?How aboutwriting songs?A robot can go through every combination of notes in record time andcome up with a pleasing melody.The lyrics might be a different story.Is aGrammy-winning song co-written by Hank Human and R-3071 in our future?Finally,its only a matter of time until we have robot politicians andpresidential candidates.Why not?They can be programmed to be experts in world anddomestic affairs and come up with the best solutions without corruption and badhumors.Actually,its too bad such technology isnt available in 2021.Pretty sure therobot would win in a landslide.24.What does the

played online games designed toimprove their cognitive(认知的)skills didnt get any smarter.More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain gamesdesigned by the researchers to improve their memory,reasoning and other skills,for at least 10 minutes a day,three times a week.They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didnt play any braingames,but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet.All participants were givenan“IQ test before and after the experiment.Researchers said the people who did the brain training didnt do any betteron the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet.“If youre(playing these games)because theyre fun,thats absolutelyfine,said Adrian Owen,assistant director at Britains Medical Research Council.“But if youre expecting these games to improve your IQ,our data suggests thisisnt the case.Computer games that are supposed to improve memory,reasoning and othercognitive skills are played by millions of people worldwide,though few studies have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examined if the games work.“There is precious little evidence to suggest the skills used in these gamestransfer to the real world,said Art Kramer,a professor of psychology at theUniversity of Illinois,US.Instead of playing brain games,Kramer saidpeople would be better offgettingsome exercise.He said physical activity can help produce new brain cells.Other experts said brain games might be useful,but only if they werent fun.“If you set the level for these games to a very high level where you dontget the answers very often and it really annoys you,then it may be useful,saidPhilip Adey,a professor of psychology at Kings College in London.If people are enjoying the braingames,Adey said they probably arent beingchallenged and might as well be playing a regular video game.He said people should considerlearning a new languageor sport if theyreallywant to improve their brain power.“To stimulate(激发)the intellect,you need areal challenge,Adey said,“Getting smart is hard work.28.According to the article,which of the following is NOT useful to develop brainpower?A.Learning a

be transferred to real lifeC.Participants took IQtest twice during the research on theeffectiveness ofbrain gamesD.Surfing the Internet is a more effective means of improving cognitive skillsthan video games31.Which is another way of summing up Adeys argument in the last paragraph?A.Practice makes perfectwayC.No pains,no gainsDFrom July to October every year,about a quarter of the worlds blue whalesfeed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California.But the whales currently facea major threat in theirfavorite feeding area.Ships carrying cargo(货物sail inthe same area at the same time.All too often,the whales paths and the shipstravel lines overlap(重叠),and a ship will hit a whale.According to a new study,these ship strikes have become a serious threat tothe overall population of the worlds blue whales.Only about 10,000 of thecreatures still existworldwide.Blue whales are the largest known animals ever tolive on Earth.Even so,if hit by a container ship,a blue whale will likely diefrom its injuries.In 2021 alone,large ships killed five blue whales in the waters off San FranciscoD.A bad beginning makes a bad endingB.Where there is a will,there is a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and Los Angeles,California.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA)says that because there are so few whales already,losing three to five fromthe California whale population every year is a significant loss.“The estimatedpopulation of blue whales in this part of the Pacific is 2,500”,says Sean Hastings,a NOAA analyst.“So every whale counts toward this species moving off theendangered-species list.Now,marine scientists must figure out how to protect the whales from the giantcontainer ships.One very simple program is already under way in the Santa BarbaraChannel,a waterway that separates mainland California from the nearby ChannelIslands.The Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary has asked large container shipspassing through the area to voluntarily slow down.Sailing slower will allow theships crew(船员more time to change course before hitting a whale.Several of the worlds largest shipping lines are set to participate in thenew program.For every ship that passes through the Santa Barbara Channel at or belowthe reduced speed of 12 knots(海里/小时,the company that owns the ship will bepaid$2,500.32.From Paragraph 1,we can know that_.A.people intend to illegally hunt blue whales for moneyB.large ships often carrying goods may pollute the seaC.the container ships may hit the blue whales frequentlyD.there is fewer fish in blue

the blue whales is so small.B.Because other blue whales will be scared away.C.Because blue whales are the largest animals in the world.D.Because many blue whales get killed throughout the year.34.According to Sean Hastings,its inferred that .A.the number of the blue whales is decreasing sharply.B.the blue whales are still on the endangered-species list.C.most of the worlds blue whales
