17、ughter of John Ross，the longestserving chief of the Cherokee Nation。Her work is considered important to the early stages of the age of space travel.Ross showed special abilities in math and science from an early age。As a student，she developed an interest in aviation，or the practice of flying aircraf

18、t。She went on to earn a masters degree in mathematics from Colorado State Teachers College，now called the University of Northern Colorado。During World War II，Ross began working for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation as a mathematician。She earned a special certification in the field from the Universit

19、y of California in1949.Ross was later chosen to join Lockheeds topsecret Skunk Works team that worked on aircraft designs。The name refers to a group that is permitted to work independently on advanced projects.She was the only female engineer among the teams 40 members。Early on，she researched defens

20、e systems。By the late 1950s，her work centered on satellites and a series of space rockets called Agenda。The rockets were extremely important in the 1960s during the Apollo moon program。Ross also helped develop early design ideas for space travel between planets，including flyby space flights to study

21、 Venus and Mars.Ross retired from Lockheed in 1973。But she continued to give talks at high schools and colleges to encourage more women and Native Americans to study engineering.She died in 2008，a few months before her 100th birthday.Many celebrated Rosslife on social media.Twitter user Aaron Perez，

25、ention should be paid to women engineers。D. Man has made greater progress in space technology.CEvery country has certain cultural patterns making it unique。 Of course， habits and customs between cultures and countries tend to overlap（重疊）. The popularity of social media， for instance， ignores borders

26、 and breaks down cultural differences。 Technology has made the world a much smaller and culturally similar place. However, when looking at a foreign country， we will always find differences between our traditions and theirs。 Young Italians and young Americans, for example, though alike in many respe

27、cts， have also some pronounced differences， especially when it comes to work, pastimes and sports.Most American teens have part-time jobs through high school and college. Youths in Italy tend not to。 The reasons behind this are multifaceted. It is， to begin with， rather hard in Italy to find the typ

28、e of part-time jobs students usually take up。 Moreover， there is also a different cultural attitude to take into consideration， especially when thinking of certain parts of Italy。 Young Italians like to enjoy life to the full and feel there will be time to work once they become adults, hence the lac

29、k of interest in finding odd jobs while still in school. Like the old saying goes, some Italians work to Live， while some Americans often live to work.In a lot of ways， young Italians and Americans spend their free time in a similar fashion. Listening to music， watching movies, hanging out， practici

30、ng sports and surfing the Internet are all common ways to pass some free time. Italians, especially， make a point of going out and being social, often choosing between pizzeria or birrerie (place for pizza or beer）， which stay open late. Italians often pile into a couple of cars and go out in a big

31、group。 In general, American teens participate in a lot of extracurricular(課外的) activities， many often through school, while Italians may not take part in so many。When going out, Italian teens tend to meet and gather on the streets of their cities or towns, something not as common in the United State

32、s， especially in highly populated areas. This very Italian habit can be linked to the urban arrangement of Italian towns。 Many of them date back thousands of years and feature central piazzas(廣場) and areas built around historical sites that have now become gathering places for the young。 If youre in

33、 Italy， dont be surprised by the sight of hundreds gathered in a piazza or on the street， laughing and drinking the night away。28. The passage is mainly about _.A. the unique lifestyles shared by American and Italian teensB。 the relationship between young people of America and ItalyC. some customs a

34、nd habits of the Americans and ItaliansD。 some differences in tradition between young Americans and Italians29. By saying some Italians work to live， while some Americans often live to work”， the author most probably wants to tell us that _。A。 Italians have a better life attitude toward workingB. Am

35、ericans are more diligent and thus live a better lifeC。 Americans and Italians both find it hard to locate a satisfying jobD。 Italians and Americans have different choices regarding work30. According to paragraph 3, which of the following statements is true？A。 American teens practice sports and surf

36、 the Internet to pass time。B。 Italian youth take an active part in extracurricular activities。C. American teens like to drive out and social together in big groups。D。 Italian youth enjoy pizza and beer because they are cheap.31. If there is one more paragraph in this passage, what will it most proba

37、bly be about？A. The working conditions of the young Americans and Italians.B。 The differences in practicing sports between teens of the two nations。C。 The central piazzas and areas built around historical sites in Italy。D。 The urban arrangement of the highly populated American cities。DLet us all rai

38、se a glass to AlphaGo and the advance of artificial intelligence。 AlphaGo，DeepMinds Goplaying AI，just defeated the best Go-playing human，Lee Sedol. But as we drink to its success。 we should also begin trying to understand what it means for the future。The number of possible moves in a game of Go is s

39、o huge that。 in order to win against a player like Lee。 AlphaGo was designed to adopt a humanlike style of gameplay by using a relatively recent development-deep learning。 Deep learning uses large data sets,“machine learningalgorithms (計(jì)算程序) and deep neural networks to teach the AI how to perform a

40、particular set of tasks。 Rather than programming complex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo，DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves。 Then,AlphaGo played against itself， tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over

41、 time。 The results speak for themselves。Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations. It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour. Commenting after his first loss,Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he

42、 claimed no human would ever have made。 Demis Hassabis。 one of DeepMinds founders，echoed this comment:“Were very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves。 ”Unpredictability and surprises areor can be-a good thing. They can indicate that a system is working well，perhaps b

43、etter than the humans that came before it. Such is the case with AlphaGo。 However，unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control. That Hassabis is surprised at his creations behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design。 And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a

44、 game such as Go，it raises urgent questions elsewhere.How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any los

45、s of human control? How much of a say should corporations，governments,experts or citizens have in these matters? These important questions， and many others like them，have emerged in response，but remain unanswered。 They require human,not human - like，solutions。So as we drink to the milestone in AI， l

46、ets also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now.32. What contributes most to the unconventional move of AlphaGo in the game？A. The capability of self-improvement。 B。 The constant input of large data setsC. The installation of deep

47、neutral networks. D。 The knowledge of Go rules and strategies.33。 A potential danger of Al is _.A. the loss of human controlB. the friendly relationshipC. the fierce competitionD。 the lack of challenge34. How should we deal with the unpredictability of AI？A。 We should stop AI machines from developin

48、g even further。B. We should call on the government to solve these problems for us.C. We should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions.D. We should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything。35。 Whats the authors attitude towards this remarkable advance in AI？A. Support

49、ive.B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D。 Cautious。第二節(jié)(共5小題；每題2分,滿分10分)七選五Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. _36_ In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men。 One reason for this is biological。One important biological factor that helps wome
