relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someones guns.And if they do,they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.To be sure,the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation.Under the law,open-carry citizens have to be licensed,a process that includes safety and shooting tests.They also have to show no prior psychological problems,and they have to be at least 21 years old.It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia.However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they convey,despite gun control groups concern over the increase of violence.Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004.Black Friday this year saw the biggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.Considering those trends,theres a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble.As the law doesnt provide any punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer,critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations.After all,armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious,even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight.Most police in Texas have been told to not engage gun carriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.For sure,New Years Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners.Whats not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.4.All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPT A.age limit B.mental condition C.online registration D.gun-operating skills 5.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A.The reason for putting forward the new Texas law.B.The present situation of gun possession in America.C.The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004.D.The inaction of the US government as to gun control.6.What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to?A.Heavier workload for policemen.B.Disrespect for officers.C.Lack of trust among citizens.D.Difficulty in crime prevention.7.What is the authors attitude towards the new Texas law?A.Negative.B.Cautious.C.Indifferent.D.Approving.C The idea came to him when he least expected it.Alvin Irby was at a barbershop when he saw one of his former students sitting in the shop with a bored look on his face.Thats when Irby realized that by pairing barbershops and books,he might be able to inspire young boys to read.Alvin Irby,a former kindergarten and first-grade teacher,knows how important it is for young children to read.He also knows that young boys in particular often dont have adult male role models who inspire them to read.“Many young boys may literally never see a man reading in school during the years when theyre learning to read because there are so few male elementary school teachers,”Irby toldMashable.Thats where the barbershops come in.Four years ago,Irby launched Barbershop Books as a way to not just get books into the hands of young boys,but also to create community reading spaces in a place where kids go frequently.Since itsinceptionin 2013,the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states throughout the United States.Irby isnt the first person to see the connection between barbershops and books and boys.Hair stylist Courtney Holmes,launched a program a few years ago offering free haircuts to kids as long as they read to him while he cuts their hair.Thats the kind of environment that Irby wants to promote with his program.The reading spaces created by Barbershop Books help to spark an interest in books by showing kids that reading is about more than just spelling and vocabulary skills,its about making reading a low-stress activity that can help them relax,laugh and have fun.“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading experiences early and often for young boys,then they will choose to read for fun,”Irby noted,adding,“This is really what Barbershop Books is about,getting young boys to say three words:Im a reader.”8.What happened to Alvin when he was at a barbershop?A.He found it easy for young people to get bored.B.He offered a barbershop to his former student.C.He thought of a way to encourage young readers.D.He realized the importance of reading for young boys.9.What is the function of Barbershop Books?A.To attract more customers who love films.B.To provide free haircuts to book lovers.C.To show the influence of reading on children.D.To create a reading environment fbr children.10.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.reading is a low-stress activity that is relaxing B.Barbershop Books is only suitable for young boys C.Irby attaches great importance to school education D.Barbershop Books can arouse(引起)young peoples interest in reading 11.What does the underlined word“inception”in the 3rdparagraph mean?A.discovery.B.success.C.popularity.D.beginning.D The AI research arm of Alibaba created a machine learning model that received a higher score on the Stanford Question Answering Dataset than humans.The database consists of more than 100,000 questions to test reading comprehension.In early January this year the Alibaba AI software machine scored 82.44 on the test while humans scored 82.304.Besides,computers and AI have already defeated humans,for example in games such as chess.However,it seemed that language skills were superior in humans as machines find languages hard to master.A large number of call center employees,often in developing countries,may be out of work soon if the AI robots are cheaper and as effective as human labor.Soon when you phone a company for information the conversation will go like this:“We are sorry but all our robots are busy right now.We value your call.Please stay on the line until a robot is free to serve you.There are just 12 callers ahead of you.”A robot will serve you some popular tunes while you wait.Si Luo,who is a chief scientist of natural language processing at Alibabas AI research group noted that questions such as“What causes rain?”can now be answered with a high degree of accuracy by robots.Si Luo said,“We believe the foundational technology can be gradually applied to a lot of applications such as customer service,museum tutorials,and online responses to inquiries from patients,freeing human efforts in a new way.”Si Luos team is working closely with Ali Xiaomi,a mobile customer service chatbot.Ali Xiaomi can be customized to be used on Alibabas platforms such as Taobao and Tmall.The new AI robots could answer consumers questions as they did the Stanford questions.The robots would look for the answers from prepared information.However,there are limits to what the system will be able to do.If questions do not have clear-cut answers,or the questions asked are too unclear or ungrammatical,the robot may not be able to deal with them.12.What can we learn about the Alibaba AI software machine?A.It has been tested in some areas.B.It has become popular since January.C.It has offered a special learning style.D.It has made people interested in reading.13.What does the example in paragraph 3 show about the AI robots?A.They should have better language skills.B.They may replace humans in some fields.C.They need to be customized to serve customers.D.They will be widely used in developing countries.14.How does Si Luo feel about the foundational technology?A.Doubtful.B.Worried.C.Curious.D.Confident.15.What can we infer from the lastparagraph about Ali Xiaomi?A.It needs to improve in some ways.B.It is connected with another system.C.It is a platform to show good service.D.It can answer any questions accordingly.第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10
