A

“The Road Not Taken” is one of Robert Frosts most familiar and popular poems. It is made up of four stanzas （节） of five lines each. The popularity of the poem is largely a result of the simplicity of its symbolism： the speaker must choose between diverging （分叉的） paths in a wood， and he thinks that choice is like choosing between different directions in life. Though it is a simple poem， different people have different interpretations of how the speaker feels about his situation and how the readers view the speaker.

Frost wrote the poem in the first person， which raises the question of whether the speaker is the poet himself or a persona， a character created for the purposes of the poem. According to a biography， Robert Frost： The Years of Triumph by Lawrence Thompson， Frost would often introduce that the speaker was based on his friend Edward Thomas， “A person who， whichever road he went， would be sorry he didn’t go the other.”

In the first stanza， the speaker must choose between two paths in different directions. He regrets that he cannot follow both roads， so he pauses for a long while to consider his choice. In this stanza and the next， one road seems preferable; however， in the third stanza he has decided that the two paths are roughly equivalent （相同的）. And then he tries to cheer himself up by comforting himself that he will return someday and walk the other road.

In the last part of the poem， however， the speaker realizes that he probably will never return to walk another path. He believes that when he looks back years later， he will see that he had actually chosen the “less traveled” road， which may make a big difference to his life. The poem is entitled “The Road Not Taken”， which implies that he will never stop thinking about the other path he might have followed.

This doesn’t count the families I’ve stayed with for free in Canada， USA， Spain， Ireland， Germany， Italy， New Zealand， England， France， and many， many more countries. In addition to saving money， you can obtain much more than staying in a hotel， most of all， struggling to get a true feel for the local culture.

Machines might one day replace human laborers in a number of professions， but surely they won’t ever replace human artists. Right？

Think again. Not even our artists will be safe from the inevitable machine takeover， if a new development in artificial intelligence （AI） by a team of researchers from Rutgers University and Facebook’s AI lab offers a clue of what’s to come. They have designed an AI capable of not only producing art， but actually inventing whole new aesthetic （美学的） styles similar to movements like impressionism or abstract expressionism. The idea， according to researcher Marian Manzoni， was to make art that is “novel， but not too novel.”

The model used in this project involves a generator network， which produces the images， and a discriminator network， which “judges” whether its art. Once the generator learns how to produce work that the distributor recognizes as art， it’s given an additional directive： to produce art that doesn’t match any known aesthetic styles.

“You want to have something really creative and striking—but at the same time not to go too far and make something that isn’t aesthetically pleasing，” explained Ahmed Elgammal.

The art that was generated by the system was then presented to human judges alongside human-produced art without showing which was which. To the researchers surprise， the machine-made art scored slightly higher overall than the human-produced art.

Of course， machines can’t yet replace the meaning that’s infused （注入） in works by human artists， but this project shows that artist skill sets certainly seem duplicable （可复制的） by machines.

What will it take for machines to produce content that’s infused with meaning？ That might be the last AI frontier. Human artists can at least hang their hats in that field... for now.

“Imagine having people over for a dinner party and they ask， ‘Who is that by？ And you say， ‘Well， it’s a machine actually. That would be an interesting conversation starter，” said Kevin Walker.

9 What can we infer about AI from Paragraph 2？

A. It may replace artists.

B. It can produce new styles of art.

C. It is totally at a loss about impressionism.

D. It fails to reflect abstract expressionism.

10. Marian find in his study that AI can ___ .

A. create high quality arts

B. combines content with meaning

C. makes art aesthetically unpleasant

D. please human judges with its art

11. What does the underlined phrase “hang their hats” mean？

A. Discover.   B. Hold.

C. Struggle.   D. Survive.

12. The last paragraph suggests that Kevin ___ .

A. uses machines to cook for a party

B. likes to join in a dinner party

C. expects the arrival of AI

D. cares about the starter of a chat

In Canada and the United States， there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”， who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.

Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia， especially in China， Japan， and Korea， it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However， in Canada and the United States， it is easy to go to university， and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result， Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.

The problem is that when Asians arrive， they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also， they find that they are very lonely， and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons， most Asian parents decide to go back to work in Asia while their children study in the West. Therefore， these children become “satellite kids”， and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.

Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem. Because these children do not speak English and their parents are not there to take care of them， they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also， it means to grow up alone， because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.

13. The underlined words “satellite kids” in Paragraph 1 refer to Asian kids ___ .

A. with no job B. living abroad alone

C. without parents D. not speaking English

14. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because the kids ___ .

A. can easily find a job there

B. wants to improve their English

C. will have no national exams abroad

D. may be accepted by universities abroad

15. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ___ .

A. wants them to be independent

B. wants them to go to university

C. need to go back home to work

D. fined it’s hard to get a job abroad

16. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that “satellite kids” .

A. will attend school every day

B. grow well in a foreign country

C. may be lonely in a foreign country

D. speaks fluent English and has friends abroad

Do you know how to be realistic？ It is important to be realistic. In order to be realistic， you must understand yourself and the world around you.   1                              You still need to challenge yourself， but if you have tried something several times， then you need to accept that maybe you can’t do it.
