10、search ship, recovered the rock particles.The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding

11、 some months ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington. The s

12、cientists examined what they believed were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion.The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles(ROVs),called Hercules and Argus. These robotic submarines help researcher

13、s find and collect materials from the seafloor. The fact that the particles landed in the ocean, instead of on land, means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied. For this reason, scientists decided to launch the first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean,until the latest res

14、earch, scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations.The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons. First，meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to l

18、portance of the event. DGive reasons to support a guess. CFairy tales perform many functions. They entertain, encourage imagination and teach problem-solving skills. They can also provide moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in h

19、armony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI (artificial intelligence) can take to its cold, mechanical heart.The collected stories of different cultur

20、es teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fables, novels and other literature. We believe story comprehension in robots can prevent the intelligent robots from killing humanity which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest na

21、mes intechnology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called “Quixote”. It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who

22、 needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line; it can interact with the storekeeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives, the robot will come to the conclusion that the most

23、efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.Quixote would work best on a robot that has a ve

24、ry limited function. Its a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our sto

D.The development of robots is still in a baby step.D The BBC recently released a new list detailing how much it pays

28、 its top talent. While the list suggested that there had been some progress, the reality remains somewhat depressing for women. Despite a narrowing of the BBCs gender pay gap, the revelation caused accusations that the British broadcaster was actually moving backward considering that last year only

29、the seven highest paid were men, while this year only two women ranked among the 20 highest paid. The BBCs director general, Tony Hall, said the new figures showed that the broadcaster was taking positive steps, and he emphasized that the overall goal was to get to a 50-50 split on the list. That, h

30、e acknowledged, could “take some time”. The corporation, whose budget largely comes from fees paid annually by most British households, was required to reveal the salaries of its top celebrities as part of a negotiation with the British government. Several BBC hosts took pay cuts as the corporation

31、closed the gender gap. Eight women joined the list of top-paid celebrities this year. Despite the apparent progress, some critics accused the BBC of slipping since the number of highest male earners has increased. Ms. Gracie resigned after learning that her male counterparts earned at least 50 perce

32、nt more than her. She remained at the BBC, however, saying that she would return to her post only when she was paid equally. “This report sets out a true reflection of everything weve heard from those whove contributed to the work,” said Donalda MacKinnon, the director of BBC Scotland. “We commit to

33、 taking forward the recommendations that will bring a step-change in gender equality at the BBC.” But womens rights advocates said that the broadcaster still had work to do. “The organization is clearly still a long way from valuing women as much as it values men,” said Sophie Walker, leader of the

34、Womens Equality Party. “Handling pay inequality means not just equal pay for equal work and talent, but also understanding the barriers that stop women from equally accessing work.”12.What was the list the BBC released about?

Functionalism is used to describe the idea behind a

45、rchitect which primarily focuses on the 21 of a building. However, many people 22 this and feel that beauty is a more important factor in architectural design. In the modern world, it seems that most architects 23 both ideas: aiming to create buildings which are both functional and beautiful.The rea

46、son for creating a building in the first place is clearly very important. 24 , when building an airport terminal, you need to think of the 25 of passengers as well as planes. Passengers want to get to their plane as quickly as they can, and planes need to be parked in the most efficient way. As such

47、, many airport terminals have a circular shape with satellite areas. Each type of building has a different function and hence a different 26 . 27 , however, is also clearly important when constructing a building. Living or working in a ugly place creates a(n) 28 and uninspiring environment. 29 , an

48、attractive building can make people feel happier and increase their motivation to work.There is also a wider responsibility to society which architects have to consider. Beautiful, well-constructed buildings are a 30 of a civilized society and reflect well on the business or reputation of the owner.
