    Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.
    AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.
    According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries, AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配) cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.
    On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmers for AI systems (系统) and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取代) by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.
    AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.

 阅读下面语言材料,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Have you heard of depression(抑郁症)? It's a mental illness. People who have it may feel轮sad all the time or do something to hurt themselves. Now, doctors can put a"happy switch(开关)" in their heads to help them. The "happy switch" is a kind of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI, 脑机接口). It works like a bridge— it connects your brain to a computer. Some BCIs can influence people's brain activities. Some can let people control the computer with their thoughts.

Doctors at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital helped a patient called Wu Xiaotian. Wu, 31, has had depression since he was 15years old.

The doctors did a surgery on Wu. They put two long lines of electrodes(电极) inside his brain. The 16 electrodes are used to let out electricity on different parts of the brain, which can change the patient's feelings. The electrodes are connected to a small "box"—the power source(电源)—inside Wu's body.

Wu can control the"happy switch"remotely via an app on his phone. When feeling down,Wu turns on the switch and the electrodes start working. He is soon cheered up. "It feels like there is power rising from the inside of my body," Wu said.

"The hospital has tested the switch on 26 patients since 2020. Up to now , it has helped cut down a patient's sad feelings by 60 percent," said the hospital.

But is the switch safe enough? Although patients like Wu feel great using it, the implant surgery is actually a dangerous one. Also, doctors have to make sure that patients don't rely on it. Healthy people shouldn't use it, or it may be like a kind of addiction(瘾) for them.

 完形填空

Do you know the Dragon Boat Festival? As a traditional festival, it 1  takes place on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. One of the best 2  of the festival is eating zongzi. 

 People also call zongzi sticky rice dumplings. It is a traditional food eaten 3  the Dragon Boat Festival. They are delicious to eat but not that easy to make. It's 4  difficult for our Chinese, let alone(更不用说) foreigners. 

In Jiaxing, Zhejiang, around 20 foreigners had a(n)5  Dragon Boat Festival. They joined a zongzi-making competition. They each had 8 minutes to 6  zongzi and then the judges(评委) chose the best one. They can't ask for help. They must finish the competition 7 . Some of them have lived in Jiaxing for many years. However, they never made zongzi before. 

In the 8 , all the foreigners were trying really hard. "I knew 9  about zongzi because I saw my Chinese friends make it. So I thought it might be easy. 10  today I found it really difficult," one said. "It's easy to 11  the leaves with rice, sugar or meat, but really difficult to wrap(包),"another also said. 

Other 12  were also amazing. This was the 18th time that the city, Jiaxing, had these activities to 13  the festival. For about ten days, visitors would watch dragon boat races and enjoy folk dances and the delicious 14  of all kinds of food across the city. 

More and more foreigners are becoming interested in Chinese 15 . The celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival in Jiaxi ng is a great example.

 Scientists have found a connection between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} They had to think of as many ways as they could. Then, before solving the difficult problem again, they chose to do one of the following things: work out a difficult problem, work out an easy one, or take a 12-minute break.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Many students reported that they were daydreaming when doing the easy task. So the scientists believed that daydreaming might help them become more creative.

 not actively working on a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about it, but you are unaware of it.

 Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

A. Surprisingly, the best group was the one that chose the easy problem.

B. Just do what you want and let your mind feel free.
