This tasting was a side event to the first ever Puer International Specialty Coffee Expo in Chinas southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados(酷爱者) from across the globe.Coffee has

12、huge potential in China, says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private-equity（私人股权） investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Puer five years ago. The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea. Still, Puer remains synonymous with tea.This bustling （喧闹的）tow

But the regions mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as Chinas fast-living millennials move away

14、 from traditional tea in favor of the invigorating coffee, Puers farmers are catering to the demand.Yunnan accounts for 98% of Chinas coffee harvest, with half coming from the misty landscape around Puer.

22、d to do fess well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It Look children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them su

23、cceed in school. But the results have been disappointing because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to t

24、he same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the childs first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possibl

25、e start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave t

26、he parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advance

27、d in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the childs development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That i

28、nteraction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus of parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educat

29、ion unfairness.1、What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program?AThe large number of poor families.BThe disapproval from children.CThe late start of the program.DThe long period of time.2、What do we know about the “Missouri” program?AIt focused on the childrens first school teachers.BIt helped t

But add up all of the com

32、plex species that ever lived and some biologists think the grand total would be about five billion. The estimate leads to an astonishing conclusion: a staggering 99% of species are not around any more. They have been driven to extinction.More species are joining the ranks of the extinct every year.

33、Many scientists believe we are living through an episode of remarkably rapid extinction, on a scale that has been seen only five times in the last half a billion years.They call this current episode the sixth mass extinction a large, global decline in a wide variety of species over a relatively shor

34、t period of time. And they tend to agree that humans are the main cause.Over-hunting, overfishing, and human-driven habitat loss are pushing many species to the brink. In fact, we have changed the planet so much that some geologists are now suggesting that we have entered a new phase in Earths histo

35、ry; an epoch they call the Anthropocene. By 2100, it is expected that humans will have caused the extinction of up to half of the worlds current species.Because we are living through this extinction, it is relatively easy for us to study the driving forces behind it. But how do we determine what cau

36、sed other mass die-offs that happened long ago? To do so we have to look at what archaeologists, palaeontologists, geologists and other scientists have concluded from the evidence they have gathered.The trouble is, those scientists do not always agree with one another even about the most recent exti

37、nction event. As well as the five-or six- mass extinctions, there have also been many smaller extinctions.One of these mini extinction events happened towards the end of the Pleistocene, a few tens of thousands of years ago. It is sometimes called the megafaunal extinction because many of the specie

38、s it claimed were particularly large animals, weighing more than 97lb (44kg). However, its cause remains a debate amongst scientists.1、What can we learn about the sixth mass extinction？AHumans are the main cause of it.BIt means a global decline over a long time.CIt occurred towards the end of the Pl

39、eistocene.DScientists still disagree about the cause of it.2、What can be inferred from the text about species？A99% of species will not be around any more by 2100.BBy the 22nd century, there will probably be about five million on this planet.CAbout eight years later we will enter what is called the A

40、nthropocene.DIt is not easy for us to figure out causes behind theAnthropocene.3、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph ?ALand animals. BMarine life.CHuge animals. DFlesh-eating creatures.24（8分） Fairy tales perform many functions. They entertain, en

41、courage imagination and teach problemsolving skills. They can also provide moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Techno

42、logy 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 cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fabl

43、es, 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 names in technology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates. This system is called “Quixote” (堂吉诃德). It collects s

44、tory 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 needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line; it can interact w

45、ith the store keeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives(指令), the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in

46、 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 very limited function. Its a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We

47、 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 stories may be the most efficient means.1、What function do fairy tales perform in the robots?AThey ente

48、rtain robots.BThey highlight dangers.CThey make robots more intelligent.DThey enable robots to behave morally.2、What is “Quixote” in the text?AA punishment systemBA character in literatureCA big name in technologyDA software educating robots.3、What does the designer expect robot to do in the experim

49、ent?ATo take advantage of its privilege.BTo finish the task most efficiently.CTo perform in a good mannered way.DTo be rewarded by the storekeeper14、Which of the follow can best express the authors opinion?ARobots will definitely have more functions.BRobots with humans emotions are perfect.CTraining
