阅读理解

    Many people thought a computer wasn't supposed to be able to beat a top master at the ancient Chinese game, Weiqi, for at least another 10 years. But AlphaGo, an artificially intelligent system (人工智能系统) designed by Google, made it. It easily beat Lee Sedol last year, one of the best players in the world. It challenged the world's top players to show how much progress it had made over the past few years.

    In late May, 2017, AlphaGo appeared in China and played against 19-year-old Ke Jie in Wuzhen, China. He is No. 1 player now in the world. However, the result wasn't out of people's expectation. He lost the match. Though Ke Jie tried his best and he once saw the victory just a step away, he lost his best chance when he became excited.

    At the press conference (新闻发布会) after the match, Ke Jie was interviewed by the reporters. He said he had realized how powerful AlphaGo was, and it was getting perfect. When a Chinese reporter asked him in English, the reporter spoke so fast that the interpreter (口译员) couldn't catch him. Ke Jie got kind of angry and told him that it was unnecessary for two Chinese to speak in English. The reporter apologized to him and offered to ask him for a coffee.

    The cat and mouse game is over, but the challenge between man and robots will still go on.

(1)、Which was the most probable date when Ke Jie played against AlphaGo?
A、May 5. B、May 23. C、May 18. D、May Day.
(2)、Why did Ke jie get angry at the press conference?
A、Because he lost the game. B、Because the reporter couldn't catch the interpreter. C、Because the reporter asked him in English. D、Because the reporter wasn't able to speak Chinese well.
(3)、According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A、People thought a computer could beat humans many years ago. B、Ke Jie was expected to lose the match. C、Ke Jie asked the reporter for a coffee. D、AlphaGo had great trouble winning the game last year.
(4)、AlphaGo is ______.
A、Ke Jie B、Lee Sedol C、a Weiqi match D、an artificially intelligent system

    If you had billions of dollars, would you donate almost all of it to charity? Well, that's what Mark Zuckerburg, CEO and founder of Facebook, just said he would do.
    Zuckerburg and his wife Priscilla Chan promised to give 90% of their Facebook shares to society. Right now that is about $45 billion, and they plan to donate the money to things like science and education.
    Many billionaires have done similar things. Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft, made The Giving Pledge, an activity in which billionaires promise donate more than half of their wealth to charities. This started in 2010, and now 139 people from 15 countries joined it.
    But giving back and helping others isn't just for big billionaires. People like Zuckerberg, and Gates may have more to give, but people with less are doing it, too.
    Especially around the holidays, people want to do their part and give back to people who are less lucky than them. Schools may have food collections where people bring a few food items, and together they can make a big donation to places like homeless people's homes.
    People also host special events like concerts of runs to be creative while raising money. Regular people donate whatever they can to US charities like the United Way and the American Red Cross.
    Then these charities are able to help US communities in different ways like education, health and improving the lives of the poor. These individual donations come together to make a big difference.

58-year-old Zhang Xiping , a build farmer, was chosen to be one of the 2022 Chinese Filial Piety figures (中华慈孝人物) during the 8th Chinese Filial Piety Cultural Festival held in Hangzhou.

Zhang was born in 1964 in a small village in Shanxi province. His father passed away early and it was hard for his mother to raise him by herself. He wanted to make big money so that his mother could live comfortably. In 1984, Zhang heard sister in-law was raising chickens and selling eggs, so he decided to learn and do it himself.

Every night, he spends about three hours picking eggs for sale, putting each one carefully on top of another inside two baskets. And every morning, he wakes up at 5 o'clock, carries the two baskets weighing over 90 kilograms, and goes to a market street over 30 kilometers away from home. He walks more than 30,000 steps and passes by hundreds of streets per day.

For the past 38 years , he has been raising chickens and selling eggs to support____ his adopted (领养) daughter and now 87-year-old mother. Through his efforts, he has made a good living and even built a new house for his family to live in.

Although his physical disability has made him experience more difficulties in life than normal people, Zhang feels kindness from those around him. " As a disable person, I don't have much to give back to others. When I die, I will donate(捐献) my body to the hospital for scientific research," said Zhang.

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.

A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It's like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.

Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.

Some animals can sense the earth's magnetic field (磁场), while humans can't. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.

However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
