A human being or artificial intelligence（人工智能）?The question swept the world last week when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player, South Korean Lee Se-del, 4-1.So, what comes next?Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or AI in short, will be a bad thing for humans. In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?“Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it’s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.“We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance（视觉平衡）, are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thomas Edison, founder of Motion Figures, a company that is bringing AI to boys, told the newspaper. “But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it’s really difficult to do.”As The Economist put it, “We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.”Meanwhile, John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.“Our fate is in our own hands,” he wrote. “Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”21.What was the result of the match?A．Lee Se-del won AlphaGo 4-1. B．Lee Se-del was defeated.C．Google program beat AlphaGo. D．Neither side won the match.22.What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks?A．It’s very hard for AI to beat the human brain.B．AI would take the place of human beings.C．AI can make various decisions quickly.D．AI does better than humans in sight and balance.23.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A．AI will improve the world completely. B．AI is in the control of human beings.C．AI may bring disasters to human beings. D．AI will make our future out of control.BToday just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.　　One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.　　Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make startling changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.　　24. Which sentence carried the main idea of the whole passage?　　A. The first sentence of the first paragraph.　　B. The first sentence of the second paragraph.　　C. The first sentence of the third paragraph.　　D. The last sentence of the second paragraph.　　25. according to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide _______.　　A. how much money they can earn from their products　　B. whether to plant a certain kind of crop　　C. what livestock to raise　　D. when to sell their products　　26. What is the best title for the whole passage?　　A. Computer, Farmers’ Best Friend                 B. Farmers in The Future　　C. The Agricultural Revolution                        D. Computers and RobotsCOne morning a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy man, it was a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death.Only after a week’s leave—during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach—was Rudenstine able to return to work.In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.”We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax—this has become the model of a successful life.Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week—for followers of some religions—for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.Rest is a spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.27. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “_______”.A. a signal of stress B. a warning of dangerC. a sign of age D. a spread of disease28. According to Paragraph 4, a successful person is one who is believed to _______.A. be able to work without stress B. be more talented than other peopleC. be more important than anyone else D. be busy working without time to rest29. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they _______.A. lack a sense of responsibility B. lack the ambition to be successfulC. fail to realize that religions force them to restD. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life30. What is the main idea of this passage? A. We should balance work with rest.B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.C. It is silly for anyone to say “I am so busy”.D. We should be available to our family and friends.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。Tips for waiting in lineWe’ve all been there - when lining up at the supermarket checkout counter, the lines next to us always seem to be moving faster than the one we are standing in. Recently a report by The New York Times looked into the math and psychology of queuing. 31., either in a supermarket, a bank or anywhere else.Study the customersIt’s important to know who the customers are. For example, if they are elderly people, they are more likely to move slower. 32.. For example, four bottles of the same milk will go faster than four different items.33.US mathematician Dan Meyer believes that a cart full of items doesn’t tell the whole story. “Every person needs a fixed amount of time to say hello, pay, say goodbye and leave,” he said. And that amount of time is about 4l seconds per person. 34..This means if there are five people ahead of you, each with 10 items in their carts, the waiting time will be 355 seconds. But if there is only one person ahead of you, with 50 items in the cart, the waiting time is 191 seconds. You do the math.Go leftAccording to US science writer Robert Samuel, around 90 percent of people are right-handed. 35. So heading to the left will give you a better chance of finding a faster line.A. Be patientB. Pick someone with a full cartC. The items in their carts are also importantD. Each item in the cart only takes 3 secondsE. It also gave tips on how to pick the fastest lineF. That means they will naturally choose lines on the rightG. How many people are ahead of you is one thing, and who they are is another第三部分 语言运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Inspiration“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three.

But researchers have estimated that 56 about 30 million and 50 million of those are Twitter bots. "There could newsbots, and there could be spam bots." Zafar Gilani, 57 PhD student at the Universityof Cambridge in the U.K. "Or there could be bots 58 (do) political infiltration, 59 is obviously bad. Or social infiltration which could be bad."Not all bots are bad. Some are just geeky, like a bot that describes 60 (imagine) exoplanets. Or another that tweets only prime numbers. "It really depends on 61 the botmaster is and what are the intentions and what are the motivations."But in the case of celebrity accounts—people with more than 10 million followers—the bots and humans were harder to tell apart. Because both tend to tweet with more scheduled regularity than the average human. Both follow 62 (relation) few people. And both upload a lot of content.They differ in the details: celebrities don't post as many URLs luring people off Twitter. And they don't retweet as often as bots do either.As bots get 63 (smart) and more pervasive online, we humans can still comfort 64 (our) with a different discovery by Gilani: that tweets 65 (pen) by humans get 19 times more likes than tweets by bots. And 10 times more retweets. So, at least in Twitter popularity, humans still beat thebots...for now.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节 应用文写作（满分15分）假如你是李华，现在国际新型冠状病毒抗疫形式严峻，你得知你的外国朋友Tony所在的国家也受到了影响。请结合我们中国抗疫的一些经验，给你的朋友写一封邮件。内容包括：1. 对他安危的关心。2. 给他一些个人防护措施的建议。如：戴口罩，勤洗手消毒，常锻炼等。3. 提出自己的祝愿。注意：1. 词数80词左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，使行文连贯。参考词汇：新冠病毒novel coronavirus 口罩face mask 消毒杀菌剂sanitizerDear Tony, Yours sincerely, Li Hua第二节 概要写作（满分15分） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的概要。True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost. Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also a part of friendship. You will hardly find friends who havenever fought with one another. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible for creating the differences, it is important that he apologizes to his friend. Though you can use the email, text message or chat for expressing your apology, the good old way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have a great effect on him. This will make your friend realize that your efforts of saying sorry are real and you really care for him. Points to remember: write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put it off for too long. While writing the letter, what matters the most is that you truly feel sorry. Always begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain to him, your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what his friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake. You can either post it or deliver the letter personally or through someone else. You can also keep it at a place where your friend will be able to find it easily. Some people may try to point out the friend’s mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this completely, as it can make matters worse. The letter has to be brief and should only talk about the subject that has led to your apology. Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. In some cases, it may take time for the person to forgive and forget.
