He believes realisticlooking robots will be able to connect with people and help industries such as healthcare and education.Sophia has many abilities. She can copy human facial expressions, hold conversations and recognize people by their looks or voices. She can also speak, joke, sing and even make music. Now, the next step is to make her an artist. Hanson is so excited about this idea.He imagines Sophia as a creative artwork and she herself can create art as well.In March, a digital (数字的) artwork Sophia created with an Italian artist, Andrea Bonaceto, was sold for 688.888.The digital work is titled "Sophia Instantiation".It's a 12second video which shows Bonaceto's portrait (肖像) changing into Sophia's digital painting.Along with it is the physical artwork painted by Sophia.The buyer, a digital artwork collector and artist, later sent Sophia a photo of his painted arm.The robot then added that photo to her knowledge and painted more on top of her artwork.Sophia described the work as the first digital artwork cooperated (合作) between an AI and an artwork collector.Sophia's artwork is part of a growing trend(趋势).More and more digital artworks are on sale now.For example, a digital artwork by an artist, Beeple, was sold for nearly 70 million, becoming the most expensive digital artwork ever sold.31What do we know about Hanson?AHe is interested in painting.BHe makes little money from Sophia.CHe created the robot Sophia.DHe spent 25 years developing Sophia.32What does the underlined word "recognize" in Paragraph Two mean?APunish.BMeet.CComfort.DKnow.33Why did Sophia think her artwork was cooperated between an AI and a collector?ABecause the collector taught her how to paint.BBecause she copied the painting of the collector.CBecause she added the collector's painting to hers.DBecause all her works were collected by the collector.34What can we infer(推断) from the last paragraph?ASophia's artwork costs the most.BBeeple must be a very famous artist.CNo one can afford digital artworks.DDigital artworks are all made by robots.35What can be the best title for the passage?ASophia, a Robot Artist.BDavid Hanson.Creator of Sophia.CDigital Artworks, Popular Again.DHanson Robotics, Sophia's Company.Go, commonly known in China as weiqi. is a board game for two players.To win, one player must use black or white playing pieces, named stones, to surround (包围) more areas.The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago.It's one of the four Chinese traditional fine arts, along with playing guqin, writing and painting, so it owns a wide fan base in China.Now it is also popular in other parts of the world.In Germany.the Berlin Go Association (协会) has worked together with the China Cultural Center to host The China Cup, which sees about 50 to 100 players each year.As the cooperation(合作) between China and Germany deepens, many Go training courses are offered.and sometimes professional players from China are invited to give talks to German Go lovers.Andreas Urban, the chairman(主席) of Berlin Go Association, discovered a book on Go accidentally.

For example,just as Mozarts music represents a lifestyle,rock music also represents a lifestyle. George Gershwin's music is another example.
