OctobersBAs Artificial Intelligence bees increasingly plicated, there are growing concerns that robots could bee a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to puter science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more plicated tasks, it's necessary to translate our morals into AI language.For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn't want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. nYou would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values/1 said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a fortable distance from humans. Obviously, there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn*t think that's the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more plex moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do enough testing and they've produced a system that will break some kind of taboo （禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren't quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we e up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.4. What does the author say about the threat of robots?A. It may be a challenge to puter programmers.B. It acpanies all machinery involving high technology.C. It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D. It has bee an inevitable danger as technology gets more sophisticated.5. How do robots learn human values?A. By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B. By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.C. By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.D. By imitating the behavior of properly brought-up human beings.6. What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A. Keep a distance from possible dangers.B. Do enough testing before taking action.C. Set off its built-in alarm system at once.D. Stop to seek advice from a human being.7. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A. Determine what is moral and ethical.B. Design some large-scale experiments.C. Set rules for man-machine interaction.D. Develop a more sophisticated program.CIn summer the extreme heat often makes people sweaty and restless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge （排放）your body's toxins （毒素）and recover your energy.One popular option is hot-stone massage （按摩）.Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or place them on key points of the body. The warmth of the hot stones will improve blood circulation and also help relax muscles, while sweating is also believed to be good for discharging the body's toxins.Another popular option is hot-stone baths. The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and humidity that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something fortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will e out quickly. The sweat is smooth and fresh, not smelly like that released after sports activities. Such baths bring a number of health benefits, such as anti-aging, improved blood circulation and stress relief. The slimming effect of dieting can even be promoted.Using hot stones for healing dates back to ancient times, but the modern renewal of hot-stone massage is generally credited to Mary Nelson, a native of Tucson, Arizona, America, whose trademark is "LaStone Therapy”.The therapy is gaining wide popularity with many people, especially those who have jobs in cool air-conditioned rooms. The hot-stone therapy can help cure many diseases, including back pain.8. What do people use to release toxins in our body according to the text?A. Washing the body with cold water.B. Discharging lots of sweat.C. Relaxing musclesLying on the warm beds.9. What can we know from the text?A. Sports have greater effects on the health than hot-stone massage.B. There are no toxins and humidity in the body in summer.C. Using water of about 45oC to wash the body is good for the health.D. People should take advantage of summer to improve their health.10. What can be learned about the hot-stone therapy?A. It was invented by Mary Nelson, an American.B. It successfully cured many people of cancer.C. It is popular with people with its excellent effects.D. It can help people avoid sweating too much in hot summer.11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. The origin and development of the hot-stone therapyThe amazing functions of the hot-stone therapyB. A healthy and fortable lifestyleHow to live fortably in summer DEvery year billions of pounds are spent on hair loss treatment. If we succeed in curing hair loss with 3D printed hair follicles （毛囊）,it will be a huge revolution.UOreal （欧莱雅）,the cosmetics firm is partnering with a French bio-printing pany called Poietis, which has developed a form of laser printing for cell-based objects. Poietis, technique begins with the creation of a digital map that determines where living cells and other tissue ponents should be placed to create the desired biological structure. This involves how the cells are expected to growover time. The file based on the digital map is then turned into instructions for the printing equipment, so that it can lay down tiny droplets （小滴）made out of the cell-based "bio inkn one layer at a time. The printing process involves bouncing （使反弓单）a pulsing laser （脉7中激光器）off a mirror and through a lens, so that when it hits a ribbon （色带）containing the bio ink, a droplet of the matter falls into place. About 10,000 of these micro-droplets are created every second.It typically takes about 10 minutes to print a piece of skin 1cm wide by 0.5mm thick. However, since hair follicles are plex and consist of 15 different cells in a structure, they may take longer.Poietis is not the only pany working on bio-printing, but most others use another way, which involves pushing a bio-ink through a nozzle （口贲11霜）,rather than lasers to build their tissue. Poietis suggests its technique puts less stress on the biological matter, meaning there is less risk of causing it damage.Alopecia UK-a charity that provides support and advice about hair loss-has mixed feelings about the development. "It is encouraging to know that panies such as UOreal are investing in technology that may help those with hair loss in the future/9 said spokeswoman Amy Johnson.“However, we would suggest it's still very early to be getting excited about what this potentially could mean for those with medical hair loss. At this point it is unclear as to whether this technology could benefit those with all types of hair loss.”Paragraph 4“Also, if this new technology does lead to a treatment option, given the high costs of existing hair transplant procedures, how many people will be able to realistically afford any new technological advances that may bee available? As with any other research and development into processes that may be able to help those with hair loss, we watch with great interest/9 12. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. How the printing process is carried out. B. Where the living cells should be placed. C. How long the cells are expected to grow. D. What the printing equipment is made up of. 13. What does the underlined word “it” in refer to?A. hair follicle B. biological matterD. bio-ink14. The passage implies that the new technology maymeet some practical challengesA. help people with hair loss at presentoffer solutions to all problems of hair lossB. cost a large sum of money to transplant hairWhat is Amy Johnson's attitude towards the new technology?A. Disapproving. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Negative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中 有两项为多余选项。Asking for a raise can be a discouraging prospect for any employee. 16 If you9re a female employee seeking a raise, it matters to approach that conversation strategically. Here are a few tips for pulling it off successfully.Do your research.17 So if you're making a case for a pay increase, you'll need to gather some data on whatothers in similar positions are earning. To that end, do some research on sites like Salary.18 Remember to collect the average earnings for all workers in your position and make your case for why you deserve to be paid similarly.Don't get emotional.Women are often accused of getting emotional on the job. In fact, it's that so-called sensitive nature that causes some people to claim they're unfbrtable working with and promoting female employees. That's why it's extremely important to keep you cool during a salary negotiation. Be specific and present hard evidence of your value to the pany. Try to focus on your positive contributions, rather than the negative feelings. And although the discussion might get heated, be sure not to yell or, worse yet, cry while it's going down.19 20Given many news stories about how men out-earn women, you may tend to draw on some of that data as a reason for getting a raise. But be very careful about using that argument, because unless you have definitive proof that your male colleagues - with the same exact titles, experience, and responsibilities are making more money than you, you're better off avoiding that angle.A. Don't accuse your employer.B. Staying calm will only help your case.C. Take advantage of how much men colleagues earn.D. It's never a good idea to go into a salary negotiation blindly.E. You are often paid less salary than your workmates in similar positions.F. But women face unique challenges when it es to requesting more money.G. They allow you to search for pensation info based on industry and geographic region.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后备题所给的和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Tim, my seven-year-old son, is learning to play the drums.
