10、ery country may have to consider what, if anything, to do about “global warming”. We should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true.Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for

11、 well over 10 years now. This is known to the warming establishment, as one can see from the 2009 “Climategate” email of climate scientist Kevin Trenberth: “The fact is that we cant account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is an irony that we cant.” But the warming is only missing if one

12、 believes computer models where so-called feedback involving water vapor and clouds greatly amplifies the small effect of CO2. The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant and it is a key component of the biosphere ( 生物圈)s life cycle. Plants get better growth with more of it and part of the increase of a

13、gricultural yields in the past century certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere.Although the number of the scientists who are publicly opposed to the claim is growing, many young scientists secretly say that while they also have serious doubts about the global-warming message, they are a

14、fraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted or worse.Why is there so much passion about global warming? There are several reasons, but a good place to start is the old question “Cui bono?”, or the modern update, “Follow the money”. Alarmism (危言耸听) over climate is of great benefit to many, provi

15、ding government funding for academic research, and thus those people who benefit from this fiercely defended their dogma (信条) and the privileges it brought them.Every country should support rational ( 合理 的) measures to protect and improve our environment, but it makes no sense at all to back expensi

16、ve programs that turn away resources from real needs and are based on alarming but shaky claims of “incontrovertible” evidence.1、What can we infer about the authors opinion on global warming?AGlobal warming hasnt happened in the latest 10 years.BGlobal warming has become an urgent problem these year

17、s.CGlobal warming has worsened a little bit in the recent years.DGlobal warming has never happened since measures were taken.2、Which of the following statements about CO2 does the writer probably agree with?ACO2 greatly affects the global warming.BCO2 makes crops more productive.CCO2 involves water

18、vapor and clouds.DCO2 is the most important part of the biosphere.3、Why is there so much passion for global warming?ABecause t is a good chance for young scientists to be promoted.BBecause the scientists want to have an insight into the problem.CBecause the government values the problem and tries to

19、 solve it.DBecause some people can greatly benefit from the research about it.4、Whats the writers attitude toward the programs to protect and improve our environment?ATo support all the programs as long as they are beneficial.BTo support cheap programs instead of expensive ones.CTo support the progr

20、ams that are necessary and reliable.DTo support those programs that use less money and resources.22（8分） Over the years Lisa urged her sister Helen to prepare for her old age.

21、to grow up and buy herself everything. What Helen wanted was to go outside and play.When anyone would hire her, Lisa put herself to work. She never touched a penny of her money though her young mouth watered for ice cream and candy. When the dimes (一角硬币) added up to dollars， she lost her taste for s

22、weets. And her bankbook became her most precious possession.Helen had a boyfriend Harry whose only ambition was to play a horn. That Helen married Harry straight out of high school was not surprising. Two or three times Lisa was halfway persuaded, but to give up a job that paid well for a homemaking

23、 job that paid nothing was a risk she was unable to take.Helens married life was nothing for Lisa to envy. She and Harry played in second-rate bands.

29、ccount23（8分）Shortly after my fourth birthday, my parents and I arrived from China in Sydney, Australia. It was 1991 and my mother had left behind everything she knew-family, friends and career.Yet within two years, my parents marriage had broken down. After one particularly unpleasant fight, my moth

30、er left my father, taking me with her. With no family or friends, and in a country where she couldnt even communicate, she took me to Chinatown, the only area of Sydney she was familiar with. That night she laid me on a bench in Dixon Street, packing suitcases around us for security. I will never fo

31、rget the despair in her face that night.At around 4 am, a group of four young Chinese men noisily exited a club nearby. I remember them falling silent as they saw us. They approached and asked my mother why she was sleeping on the streets with such a young child. My mum burst into tears as she told

32、them our story. Without hesitating, they bundled me up, took our suitcases, and drove us to their students housing.In the weeks that followed, the men looked after us with a youthful enthusiasm. Being poor students living on their own for the first time, they simply knew how to cook in a clumsy way.

33、 However, they insisted that a child should have homemade meals. They quickly adjusted their lives around us, buying fresh food, cooking, teasing me to make me laugh, and advising my mum on how to sort out her life.Eventually, Mum reconciled (和解) with Dad and we moved back in with him, although they

34、 continued to split and make up several times.Gradually we lost touch with the men as we all moved on. But at every milestone of my life-graduations, entering university, getting a good job-I never forget that all of this was made possible because 22 years ago, a group of complete strangers took us

35、in and shared everything they had to save us from life on the street.1、Why did Mom and I stay in Dixon Street that night?AWe were waiting for the Chinese men.BMom knew nobody in Australia at all.CIt was safe to slay there for night.DWe had no other place to go.2、How did the students feel the moment

37、esent behavior.24（8分）Every day, we are inching closer to some kind of artificial intelligence. Advances in big data, machine learning and robotics are going to give us a world where computers are effectively intelligent in terms of how we deal with them. Should you be scared by this? Absolutely, but

38、 not in the usual “robot overlords” (机器人帝国) kind of way. Instead, the real fear should be about getting human beings wrong, not getting AI right.The key to the technology is the ability of computers to recognize human emotions based on the activation” of muscles in the face. A computer can identify

39、the positions of facial muscles and use them to infer the emotional state of its user. Then the machine responds in ways that take that emotional state into account.One potential application of it is to provide “emotional robots” for the elderly. Having a machine that could speak in a kind way would

40、 comfort a lonely older person. That is a good thing, right? But that wont also relieve us from questioning how we ended up in a society that takes care of the elderly because we dont know what else to do with them? Cant we have more humane solutions than robots?“Emotion data” arent the same thing a

41、s the real and vivid emotional experiences we human beings have. Our emotions are more than our faces or voices. How can they be pulled out like a thread, one by one, from the fabric of our being?Research programs can come with much philosophical concern, too. From the computers point of view, what

42、the computing technology captures are emotions, but at its root is a reduction of human experience whose outward expressions can be captured algorithmically (计算上). As the technology is used in the world, it can reframe the world in ways that can be hard to escape from.The technology will clearly hav

43、e useful applications, but once it treats emotions as data, we may find that it is the only aspect of emotion we come to recognize or value. Once billions of dollars floods into this field, we will find ourselves trapped in a technology that is reducing our lives. Even worse, our “emotion data” will

44、 be used against us to make money for someone else. And that is what scares me about AI.1、Why does the author feel scared of the development of artificial intelligence?AThe technology is developing much too slowly.BComputers cant recognize human emotions.CRobots would get control of human beings.DPe

45、ople may use artificial intelligence improperly.2、Why does the author dislike the idea of providing “emotional robots” for the elderly?AThe aged people will find it hard to live with them.BWhat elderly people need is much more than that.CIt cant relieve us of the pressure from modern society.DIts im

46、possible to use them to keep the elderly healthy.3、What does the author intend to conclude in Paragraphs 4 and 5?AEmotional data cant be equal to human emotions.BAI technology itself has fewer and fewer faults.CAI-built-in robots wont have the ability to understand human beings.DThe information comp

47、uters get can reframe human emotions.4、How does the author think about emotion data” according to the last paragraph?AIt can arouse peoples sense of value.BIt can improve peoples human experience.CIt may be misused as a tool to make profits.DIt may push the AI technology forward.25（10分）Discovering T
