11、t we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the worlds problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intel
12、ligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us. Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond hum
13、an intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an everincreasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the
14、short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean largescale poverty and social unrest. In the long term, machines might decide the world would be better without humans. Scientist C: Im a member of the
15、 Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls(头骨) and think of whats happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be auto
16、nomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be completely unethical and dangerous for humans.

19、 B When French students go to school, they have to leave one of their most prized possessions at home their smartphones. French lawmakers passed a law on July 31, 2018, banning students 15 and under from bringing smartphones and tablets to school, or at least requiring they be turned off at school.
20、Officials in support of the new rule described the policy as a way to protect children from addictive habits and to safeguard the sanctity of the classroom. “We know there is a phenomenon of screen addiction， ” education minister JeanMichel Blanquer said. “Our main role is to protect students. It is
21、 a fundamental role of education, and this law allows it.” The law, however, makes exceptions for educational use, afterschool activities and for students with disabilities. French high schools can choose to force a lessstrict ban on Internetconnected devices. Even before the new policy was voted in
22、, French law carried out in 2010 prohibited students from using their phones while class was in session. But during the 2017 French presidential election, Emmanuel Macron promised to force a school ban on phones entirely. This isnt the first French law designed to beat back the influences of digital
23、 technology in everyday life. In 2017 the government passed a law requiring French companies to draft rules that limited work emails and workrelated technology outside the office. Referred to as the “right to disconnect”， French officials said the law aimed to reduce jobrelated stress and prevent em
24、ployee burnout. “ Employees physically leave the office, but they do not leave their work. They remain attached by a kind of electronic tie， ” said Benot Hamon, former French education minister. “The texts, the messages, the emails: they control the life of the individual to the point where he or sh
25、e eventually breaks down.” ()24. Whats the purpose of the law passed on July 31, 2018? A. To improve the eyesight of school students. B. To reduce the heavy burden of primary school students. C. To prevent students getting addicted to electronic devices. D. To help students use the mobile phones pro
26、perly at schools. ()25. What can we learn from the passage? A. Disabled students have no ability to use electronic devices. B. President Macron is in favour of smartphone use in school. C. The “right to disconnect” aims to help employees with their work. D. Primary students are facing stricter banni
27、ng than high school students. ()26. The French government passed a law in 2017 because _ A. workrelated technology occupied too much of individual life B. some officials found it was a waste of time to use digital technology C. employees had no time to use their electronic devices after work D. empl
28、oyees had the ability to finish their work entirely in the office ()27. Which column of a newspaper may the passage come from? A. Science.B. Law. C. Health.D. Human and society. C A number of companies have used the wind and sun to produce energy. Now, one company is using the force of flowing river
29、s and ocean currents. The company is based in the US state of Maine. It is called the Ocean Renewable Power Company, or ORPC. The company recently presented the new technology at an energy conference near Washington DC Christopher Sauer, CEO and cocreator of ORPC, says the technology was designed fo
30、r small, rural communities that do not have easy access to power sources. The ORPC technology is an energy generator(发电机) which can be put under water, called RivGen. It works in a series of steps. First, the generator is put in the middle of a steel cage. The cage goes on top of a wide boat with a
31、flat bottom called a pontoon. Wheelsor turbinesare attached to each side of the generator. Once the pontoon boat is fixed to one place, it is flooded with water. The pontoon, cage, and generator all sink to the bottom of the river. There, the river current twirls the wheels and creates as much as 50
32、 kilowatts of power. CEO Christopher Sauer says the generator is not very tall, so it can work in water areas that are not very deep. Other companies are not able to do so, he adds. And, Sauer says, the turbines are safe for the animals that live in the river. “At the peak of salmon season, we had a
33、lmost two million fish pass by this thing but at the end of all of that, we did not have a single fish injury as we knew.” Sauer notes that another feature of the technology is “crossflow turbines”. The turbines can move in the same direction, no matter what way the water is flowing. Sauer says the
34、turbines shape permits the generator to harvest power from tidal(潮汐的) currents in the ocean. The companys ocean turbine is called TidGen. It can create up to 600 kilowatts of electricity, enough to power a small settlement. Right now, the amount of power TidGen can harvest changes as the strength of
35、 the tide goes up and down. But ORPC workers are trying to make the power output steady. In time, they want TidGen power to be part of the main energy grid(输 电网) CEO Christopher Sauer says ORPCs current price is about 50 cents per kilowatthour. That price does not make the ORPC system competitive wi
36、th natural gas. However, for small, rural communities, diesel(柴油) energy can cost more than $1 per hour. In these situations, energy from flowing water could be more economical. ()28. What does the underlined word “twirls” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Strikes.B. Turns.C. Pulls.D. Supports. ()29. How is t
37、he ORPC technology unique? A. It can work in shallow water. B. It is comparatively cheaper. C. It does no harm to animals living in the water. D. It can change the direction of water flowing. ()30. What are ORPC workers trying to do with TidGen? A. Reduce its operating costs.B. Stabilise its energy
38、output. C. Improve its working efficiency.D. Widen its range of applications. ()31. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A.Advantages of Getting Electricity from River and Tidal Currents B. Steps to Produce Energy from Flowing Rivers and Ocean Currents C.ANew Solution to Energy Shortage
39、 in Small and Rural Communities D. New Technology to Harvest Energy from River and Tidal Movement D Professional courses, such as Masters in International Business or MIB, have been taken by many students in the last two decades. They are choosing newage nonconventional courses that guarantee a bett
40、er future. MIB is a specialised course that teaches the international business. There are valid reasons for so much popularity of MIB course. The course content and teaching methods of MIB are quite different from a normal MBA or Master of Business Administration. It has been designed with the sole
41、objective of developing professionals with an indepth understanding and knowledge of the international trade. The course offers various advantages over the conventional MBAdegree course. The massive increase in the international business and foreign trade gives excellent job prospects to the new gen
42、eration. Acquiring a degree of MIB offers outstanding growth of job opportunities. Those who want to pursue in the field of marketing also have a good future after completing the degree from a reputed MIB college. Big multinational organisations look for talented people who can handle the job profil
43、e of International Marketing Management, and people with MIB degrees are preferred. The profile needs an indepth understanding of the overseas markets, because it is the strategic post from the perspective of companys international business growth. Since business finance and economics are covered at
44、 length in the curriculum of MIB, students have great job offers in the field of finance as well. Typically, organisations offer the profile of international finance controllers to those who complete MIB with the specialisation of finance. The specialisation covers aspects of international taxes, ac
45、counts, budgeting and so on. People in this field are wellpaid, and growth prospects are unlimited. After completing degree course from a reputed MIB college, there is a good scope in the banking and finance sector as well. International banks appoint people who have an excellent grasp over the inte
46、rnational banking policies, currency exchange, and international policies. Thus, MIB is the golden key to success with brilliant job opportunities in national and multinational sectors. ()32.
