From self-driving cars to deep sea explorers, more and more of humans’ tasks are being taken over by robots. But technology doesn’t stop there. In mid-August, reported the BBC, scientists from Cambridge University developed a robotic system that meant a robot could “build other robots, each one better than the previous(以前的) generation”.

The BBC noted that “those concerned about machines taking over the world shouldn’t worry”.

However, over 1,000 scientists and numerous artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) researchers－including UK astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak of the US-brought the danger of fully autonomous weapons(自主武器), known as “killer robots”, to our attention earlier this summer.

“If any major military(军事的) power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is inevitable(不可避免的),” warned an open letter released at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Unlike drones(无人机), which need a human hand, this kind of robot would have some decision-making abilities and the ability to act by itself. While what the BBC called these “solders that never sleep” could help reduce battlefield deaths, they might also make countries more likely to go into battle, which would lead to more deaths overall, noted the scientists. The risks, they said, could be far greater than those posed by nuclear weapons.

Scientists called for a “ban on offensive(攻击性的) autonomous weapons beyond meaningful human control”, reported The Huffington Post....

In fact, in an interview with the BBC in 2014, Hawking warned that the “development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”.

And according to the BBC, many leading thinkers have been thinking about the AI-powered killing machine of the not-too-distant future. “Killer robots could be here within years, not decades,” as Stuart Russell, professor of computer science at UC Berkeley, US, put it.

Authorities are gradually waking up to the risk of robot wars. Last May, for the first time, the United Nations brought governments together to begin talks on so-called killer robots in a hope of stopping such weapons while there is still time.

Meanwhile, there are scientists who are less worried. They believe all technologies have potential(潜力) for being used for good and evil ends, and argue that the ban called for by the open letter could close the door to developing AI technology that could save lives. “Technology can clearly do better than human beings in many cases,” Ronald Arkin, dean at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, US, told The Christian Science Monitor. “If we are willing to turn over some of our decision making to these machines, we may actually get better outcomes.”

C. Soldiers that never sleep.    D. Killing machines.

29. The underlined word “spell” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. Killer robots will visit UC Berkeley, US sooner than expected.

B. Killer robots will be produced and used sooner than expected.

C. Killer robots will speed up the development of AI in the near future.

D. Killer robots will kill these scientists in the near future.

31. What is the main idea of the text?

A. More and more of humans’ tasks are being taken over by robots.

B. Robots have decision-making abilities and the ability to act by itself.

The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It  41    me of how many people I've seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can't  42  why people don't move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those  43  situations in which someone doesn't even  44  that the light is red, and just keeps going. That is why so many accidents happen! All these situations make me  45_ about the purpose of traffic lights.

However, it's even more  46  to imagine letting people make their own  47  at crowded crossroads. Do the biggest cars get to go first? Who decides who goes next?  48  I guess I do like the idea of a system to  49  traffic. And I'll do my best to  50  the traffic rules: to go, to be  51 , and to stop when I'm supposed to.

It occurs to me that my  52  have done much the same for me in  53  teaching me how to live. They have given me many  54  lights: to get along well with others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to live with  55  and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my  56  doesn’t go astray (误入歧途): not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires. And there also have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to  57  school regularly and work hard.

If I obey these rules, my life will be as  58  as it can be. Just as I'm wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I'm walking  59  the street, I'm wise to pay attention to the "life  60 " given to me by my parents.

As I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!

Just imagine wearing short clothes or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!

Before the journey started, we met with something at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom (接待家庭的妈妈) and I were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt relaxed and happy. It was just because of the decorations on our clothes!

Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share bedrooms. I, fortunately or unfortunately, had to share a room with my four­year­old host sister. She was little compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking her up and hardly slept at all. Luckily, except for all that, everything went really well. My host family were really warm­hearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their words, I was “forced” to go boating, which turned out to be real fun. We boated fast and I saw manatees (海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!

When we finally landed in Wisconsin again, everyone looked sunburnt and full of energy!

You might think the key to losing weight is to stay out of the kitchen—but maybe you just need to clean it. According to A new study, the amount of clutter and chaos in your kitchen—and your life—may directly influence the amount of food you eat.

The study, conducted by researchers at the Cornell Food and Brand Lab and published in the Environment and Behavior journal, evaluated 98 female participants as they sat in a kitchen with bowls of carrots and cookies to eat. Half of the subjects sat in a cluttered kitchen with dishes in the sink, newspapers on the table, and a nearby phone ringing off the hook, while the other half sat in a quiet, tidy kitchen.

The women who sat in the cluttered kitchen ate twice as many cookies as the women in the clean kitchen, amounting to 53 more calories consumed over a 10-minute period. There was no effect on the amount of carrots that the women ate. What’s more, the researchers found that when the women felt chaotic (混乱的), the effect was

magnified (放大).

Before they stepped into the messy kitchen, some of the women were asked to write about a time in their

lives when they felt totally out-of-control; others were asked to write about a time that they felt completely in-control. The women who wrote about feeling chaotic ate 100 more calories than those who wrote about feeling cool and collected.

“Being in a chaotic environment and feeling out of control is bad for diets,” explained lead author Lenny Vartanian, PhD, in a press release. “It seems to lead people to think, “Everything else is out of control, so why shouldn’t I be?”

Bottom line: If you want to lose weight, you need to get control of your kitchen or your mind. You could try meditating (冥想), yoga and exercise to help relieve stress and give yourself a better mindset when you walk into the kitchen. Or you could just do those dishes in the sink.

A.  quiet.         B. untidy.              C. neat.          D. high-tech.

C. ate more cookies                     D. ate fewer cookies

26.  Why were some participants asked to write stories?

A.  To share with each other.         B. To test their writing skills.

C. To influence their emotions.     D. To keep them in order.

27.  In the last paragraph, readers are advised to clean their kitchens so that             .

A.  they will eat less                      B. they will feel relaxed

C. their food can be cleaner          D. their houses can look better
