Artificial intelligence has passed a classic theory of mind test used with chimpanzees.The test examines the ability to perceive the world from the point of view of another individual and so Ais with this skill could be better at cooperating and communicating with humans and each other.To create their AL Raul Vicente at the University of Tartu in Estonia and his colleagues were inspired by an animal study that looked at the feeding habits of dominant and subordinate chimpanzees.nChimpanzees have these hierarchical (等级制的)structures in their society and, in principle, the dominant one almost always gets the food, " says Vicente.The chimp study showed that the subordinate(下属的)animal would only go for food that it knew the dominant animal couldn't see, suggesting an ability to place itself in another's position.To replicate this set - up, Vicente and his colleagues created a virtual 11 - by - 11 Grid in which they placed two Ais - one dominant and one subordinate - and a single piece of food in different orientations and locations.The subordinate AI was able to move within thegrid, and was given points if it ate food that the dominant agent couldn't see, but lost points if it ate food in the dominant agent's sight.lt learned via trial and error, in a process called reinforcement learning, whether or not to move towards the food.A key difference between apes and the AI is that the AI required several thousand trials before it learned the task, while chimpanzees understood it intuitively.Being able to understand the perspective of other individuals enables communication, cooperation and competition, says Vicente/'It is absolutely essential for survival for any social species.'1Ais with theory of mind are key to building machines that can understand the world around them.In recent years, the skill has been developed in a robot whose memories are modelled on human brains and in DeepMind's ToM - net, which understands that others can have false beliefs.The ultimate goal of this kind of research is for machines to become better at communicating with people, but it will be a long time before Ais develop theory of mind at a level comparable to humans, says Vicente.nIt will be fun and effective to interact with these agents when they are able to put themselves in our perspective, ” says Vicente, because Ais with theory of mind would be able to communicate things that we don't know or can't see.But Joanna Bryson at the University of Bath in the UK says that Ais that develop the ability to see from other perspectives won*t necessarily lead to machines that are more like humans, as there are other aspects of theory of mind that aren't yet well - captured in virtual tests. Which of the following statements about the chimp study is true? A.The subordinate chimp failed to get the food due to their poor eyesight.B.The inequality among chimps deserves our careful considerationC.AIs can learn a lot from chimps so that they can become more user - friendly.D.The chimp study offers a clue to developing AFs capacity to follow social patterns. The word nreplicaten (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to'1 A.copyB.publishC.discoverD.review(3) what can be inferred from the passage? A.The subordinate AI could identify whether to eat the food from the very beginning.B.Creating Ais with a thinking pattern similar to that of humans is not a walk in the park.C.It won't be long before we can develop Ais that can recognize others* false beliefs.D.AIs can't match humans in theory of mind mainly because they have poor memories(4) What does the passage mainly talk about? A.AT can communicate well with humans as apes do.B.There is a long way to go before AI thinks like humans.C.AI learns how to imagine itself in another*s shoes.D.Chimpanzees are able to think from others' perspectives.Section CDirections： Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there two more sentences than you need.20 . A.Its quicker and easier than using the right question tag.B.But how long will it be before text speak is standard English?C.The word is a variation on "fishing”.D.Even the grammar of English is changing slowly.E.Some people believe Globish will be the most commonly spoken language in the world one day.F.Some people are taking a stand against teen text speak and slang.English is changing, INNIT (isn*t it) ?Millions of people around the world are learning English but how many of them realize that the English they are learning is constantly changing ? New words are entering the language, existing words are developing new meanings and other words are tailing out of use.(1) So what drives these changes and should we try to stop them?Not surprisingly, technology is responsible for a lot of new words.Twenty years ago, no one knew what a nblog" was but when people began writing web logs online, the phrase was quickly shortened to "blog" and the writer was called a HbloggerH.And nowadays, Internet users are constantly warned about the dangers of "phishing”, where criminals try to get your credit card and bank details by sending dishonest mails. (2) Criminals use emails to catch victims just like fishermen use worms to catch fish.The arrival of texting on mobile phones created a quick and easy way to stay in touch with friends.lt also created the need for a very short form of English - a text message is only 160 characters long.Instead of writing "see you later"，teenagers started to write ncu 18 rn and when they found something funny, they wrote nloln instead of nlaugh out loudn.At the moment it is still wrong to use this language in essays, job applications and so on.(3)It will change soon, I think, lol!Globalization has been an effective way of spreading English around the world.But now many people believe that non - native speakers of English are creating their own form of the language, which has been named Globish.With its limited vocabulary and simple sentences, this form of English enables a Spanish businessman to communicate easily with a Chinese student, for example. (4) Perhaps it already is!So if we could travel into the future, would we find people all over the world speaking a common language? Probably not but at least communication might be simpler one day .innit?IV.Summary Writing21 . Directions： Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.Where Are the Bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat.Bees make honey, but they also pollinate (给授花粉)large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples, and onions.Abouta third of the food we eat is a result of pollination by bees.Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006, beekeepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD) .The - main sign of CCD is the disappearance of adult honey bees from a hive (蜂 巢).In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of bees, but the most convincing one has to do with pesticides (杀虫剂)and the lifestyle of the bees today.Nowadays, beekeepers get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants.This means that the life of a typical bee now consists of traveling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change.That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees.It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress.In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on.Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.No one knows for sure what causes bees to disappear, but losing bees is very costly for the economy.Bee pollination services are worth over $ 8 billion a year.With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand which would affect the quality of food and increase food prices.We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day.But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.V.TranslationDirections： Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.22 .据说，袁隆平大学一毕业就投身于农业教学与研究。(upon) 23 .这位导演完全有理由相信他的这部影片将是一部经得起时间考验的经典之作。(stand)24 .毋庸置疑，正是爱因斯坦的相对论才使得我们对空间、时间和引力有更深入的理解。(it)25 .在任何情况下，我们都不要嘲笑别人，因为过往的经历教导我们，嘲笑别人的结果就是 自己被嘲笑。(end) VLGuided Writing26 .
