1．Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the enormous number of student questions in the online class，Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence.This online course is a core requirement of Georgia Tech's online Master of Science in Computer Science program.Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants，but that wasn't enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students.
Goel and his team developed several versions of a virtual assistant named Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums.At first，the virtual assistant wasn't too great.Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers.After some adjustments and sufficient time，Jill was able to answer the students' questions correctly 97% of the time.The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn't know she was a computer.The students，who were studying artificial intelligence，were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn't tell it apart from a real human being.Goel didn't inform them about Jill's true identity until April 26.The students were actually very positive about the experience.
The goal of Professor Goel's virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum.The name Jill Watson will，of course，change to something else next semester.Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on the future of artificial intelligence than，say，Elon Musk，Stephen Hawking，Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak.

2．When we think of animals and plants，we have a pretty good way of dividing them into two distinct groups：one converts sunlight into energy and the other has to eat food to make its energy.Well，those dividing lines come crashing down with the discovery of a sea slug（海蛞蝓）that's truly half animal and half plant.It's pretty incredible how it has managed to hijack the genes of the algae（藻類）on which it feeds.
And so far，this green sea slug is the only known animal that can be truly considered solar-powered，although some animals do exhibit some plant-like behaviors.Many scientists have studied the green sea slugs to confirm that they are actually able to create energy from sunlight.
In fact，the slugs use the genetic material so well that they pass it on to their future generations.Their babies retain the ability to manufacture their own chlorophyll，though they can't generate energy from sunlight until they've eaten enough algae to steal the necessary genes，which they can't yet produce on their own.
"There's no way on earth that genes from an alga should work inside an animal cell，" says Sidney Pierce from the University of South Florida.
The sea slugs are so good at gathering energy from the sun that they can live up to nine months without having to eat any food.They get all their nutritional needs met by the genes that they've hijacked from the algae.
（1）What is the distinctive feature of a sea slug？
A．It gets energy from both food and sunlight.
B．It lives half on animals and half on plants.
C．It converts some sea animals into plants.
D．It looks like both a plant and an animal.
（2）What does the underlined word "manufacture" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．invent
B．capture
C．manipulate
D．produce
（3）What does Sidney Pierce say about genes from an alga？
A．They are stolen from animals like the sea slug.
B．They don't usually function inside animal cells.
C．They can readily be converted to sea slug genes.
D．They can't function unless exposed to sunlight.
（4）What do we learn about sea slugs from the passage？
A．They will starve to death without sunlight.
B．They behave the way most plant species do.
C．They can survive for months without eating.
D．They will turn into plants when they mature.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5

5．When（1）
（approve）to be volunteer for American Peace Corps（中美友好志愿者項目），I was excited but also anxious.
My task was to introduce traditional Chinese painting to Americans who came to China by using PowerPoint.
When I was making my PPT，I discovered that there were many differences between Chinese and Western art cultures，so the most difficult problem（2）（face）me was to translate painting terms from Chinese to English.
For example，when I tried to translate "意境"，which is a very common word in traditional Chinese painting，I found the phrase "artistic conception" on the Internet However，I asked my American friend Dino，a volunteer I met at work，and he said the translation was strange and unreasonable and couldn't（3）（understand）at all.
So how could I solve this translation problem？We-had a heated discussion that evening，but we（4）（eventual）found a phrase in the spirit of traditional Chinese painting.We decided that "意境" means the use of abstraction（出神）to arouse a viewer's imagination.Therefore，we could translate it as "poetic imagery" I understood that the secret to translation is to interpret the（5）（origin）meaning of the words in a certain context rather than invent a concept that does not exist in American culture.
But that wasn't the end of the challenge.When I was doing my detailed（6）（present）on stage，there was a power cut，as a consequence of（7）I could not use PPT!What could I do？I frowned and thought about it.Finally，I took a deep breath to calm myself What I said was based on my memory.
I showed brushes，ink（8）xuan paper to begin introducing the tools of Chinese painting.I thought I would be very nervous，but as I went on，I forgot all my（9）（tense）and became fluent.When I finished my speech，everyone clapped（10）me.I was so proud of myself.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
6．"Take good care of yourself，my darling，not just for your own sake，but for mine also，" wrote（1）
unknown serviceman stationed in the Waziristan region.
The letter is one of the 717 that were never delivered by the ship，the SS Gairsoppa，which（2）（destroy） off the coast of Ireland by a German U-boat on February 16th，1941.Of the 86 crew members（3）board，only one survived.
With a（4）（hand） of the more complete letters displayed in an exhibition at the Postal Museum in London in 2018，the museum has been working on the more damaged letters intending（5）（expose） wartime lives.
Two other letters are from a father to his children in Torquay，（6）the museum believes they may have escaped.The father wrote， "Mummy will send you back to Wycombe sooner or later.Meanwhile we all have to make the （7）（good） of things as they are：the war has upset most people's dreams and （8）（mode） of living including mine!"
"It feels somewhat mournful and appropriate to unite these letters on the（9）（eighty）anniversary of the ship's sinking，" said conservator Jackie Coppen. "It is inevitable that while（10）（piece） the letters together I have come to form a close relationship with them."組卷：6引用：2難度：0.5
