阅读理解

Artificial intelligence(人工智能) is set to benefit mankind in many ways. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency to many industries. It might be one of man's greatest inventions.

And yet, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks. In February 2018, a group of Al experts got together to discuss the possible disadvantages of Al. What they found was that "Every Al developed by the good guys is also helpful for the bad guys, too." according to Quartz.

Their biggest worry was that the bad guys could use Al for bad things. One of the areas they looked at was the use of Al to create websites that could be used to steal people's personal information. Another possibility is that Al programs could be used tohack software and break into computer secure systems(安全系统).

There are some other worries as well. It is possible that Al could be used to create fake imagines and videos. Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can "clone(克隆)" anyone's voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample(音频样本).

Many leading people have expressed worries about Al. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly controlled, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI.

However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical(伦理道德的) dangers of Al, which will help to keep it safe for mankind.

Nowadays, it's very usual for people {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(order) takeout, but did people eat takeout in ancient times?

Maybe you don't think so. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} fact, there was take out in the Song Dynasty (960 – 1279).  According to history books,  Emperor Xiaozong (1127–1194) liked ordering takeout late at night. His servants{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(go) out to pick up the dishes and bring them back to the palace.

Common people also ordered takeout. The owners of restaurants got their waiters to go out into the streets and ask loudly which dishes could {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(send) that day. People could then place an order. Delivery(快递)  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(work) would bring food to their homes later. In the famous Song Dynasty painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival(《清明上河图》).  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}takeout worker is doing delivery work.  We can easily see the man {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(walk) with food in his hand in a hurry.

People at that time even had boxes for takeout dishes. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they weren't like normal boxes. They were long{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(wood) boxes with several layers(层).  People also used plates made of two layers of porcelain(瓷). Hot water could be put between the first layer and the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(two). In this way, they could keep the dishes warm.

 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Rain(谷雨), at the last term in spring, generally starts on April 20th and ends on May 4th.

Grain Rain comes from an old saying, "Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grain", which shows that this period of rainfall is very important for the growth of crops. Here's something that you may not know about the Grain Rain.

Seasonal characteristics

When the Grain Rain ends, the summer starts And the temperature rises much higher than it does in March, With dry soil and heavy winds, sandstorms may happen more often.

Customs in southern China

There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is good for the eyes.

Traditions in northern China

People in northern China have the tradition to cat the vegetable toona sinensis(香椿) during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes "toona sinensis before the rain is just like silk". The vegetable is good for the stomach and skin.

Grain Rain Festival

The Grain Rain Festival is celebrated by fishing villagers in northern China. Grain Rain marks the start of the fisherman's first voyage(航行) of the year. The custom dates back to(追溯到) more than 2000 years ago.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中, 选出最佳选项。

 Confucianism(儒家思想) has been followed by Chinese people for more than two thousand years. 

To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants : ren,yi,li,zhiand xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li.

 Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could be best understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people" Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you". It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule( treat others as you wish to be treated). 

 While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be considered as a kind of duty. Generally, liis the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about liinclude the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors(祖先). While renis mostly about our opinions and feelings, liis about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us. 

 Besides the Five Constants, xiao is perhaps the most well- known Confucian virtue. This is the duty children should have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one's parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious society. Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess.
