8、 purchases 15% off2、 Every day, we are moving closer to some kind of artificial intelligence(人工智能). Progress in big data, machine learning and robotics are going to give us a world where computers are effectively intelligent in terms of how we deal with them. Should you be scared by this? Absolutely

9、, but not in the usual “robot overlords” (机器人帝国) kind of way. Instead, the real fear should be about getting human beings wrong, not getting AI right. The key to the technology is the ability of computers to recognize human emotions based on the activation” of muscles in the face. A computer can ide

10、ntify the positions of facial muscles and use them to infer the emotional state of its user. Then the machine responds in ways that take that emotional state into account. One potential application of it is to provide “emotional robots” for the elderly. Having a machine that could speak in a kind wa

11、y would comfort a lonely older person. That is a good thing, right? But that wont also relieve us from questioning how we ended up in a society that takes care of the elderly because we dont know what else to do with them? Cant we have more humane solutions than robots? “Emotion data” arent the same

12、 thing as the real and vivid emotional experiences we human beings have. Our emotions are more than our faces or voices. How can they be pulled out like a thread, one by one, from the fabric(组织) of our being? Research programs can come with much philosophical(哲学的) concern, too. From the computers po

13、int of view, what the computing technology captures are emotions, but at its root is a reduction of human experience whose outward expressions can be captured algorithmically (计算上). As the technology is used in the world, it can reframe the world in ways that can be hard to escape from. The technolo

14、gy will clearly have useful applications, but once it treats emotions as data, we may find that it is the only aspect of emotion we come to recognize or value. Once billions of dollars floods into this field, we will find ourselves trapped in a technology that is reducing our lives. Even worse, our

15、“emotion data” will be used against us to make money for someone else. And that is what scares me about AI.1.Why does the author feel scared of the development of artificial intelligence?A.The technology is developing much too slowly.B.Computers cant recognize human emotions.C.Robots would get contr

16、ol of human beings.D.People may use artificial intelligence improperly.2.Why does the author dislike the idea of providing “emotional robots” for the elderly?A.The aged people will find it hard to live with them.B.What elderly people need is much more than that.C.It cani relieve us of the pressure i

19、y forward.3、There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman . There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the in

20、ner self of the consumer, so that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell

21、between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers feeling for packaging, noticed. Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human atte

22、ntion quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.我Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peaceful

23、ness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. Thats why the round yellow M signs of McDonalds are inviting to both young and old. This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.

24、1.According to the passage, _ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.A.the pleasing color of the packageB.the special taste of the productC.the strange shape of the packageD.the belief in the product2.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can _.A.bring excitement to the

25、 consumersB.attract the consumers attentionC.catch the eye movement of the consumersD.produce a happy and peaceful feeling3.“And the word green today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are _.A.starting to notice the importance of new foodB.enjoying the beauty

26、 of nature more than beforeC.beginning to like green vegetablesD.paying more attention to their health4.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of _.A.vegetable dishB.healthy juiceC.iced drinkD.red vegetable4、 The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conf

27、lict and uncertainty. Since the 1980s, some have spoken out against coffee as its harmful to health, while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health. According to a scientific report, mild coffee consumption, three to five cups per day, can be taken as a healthy dietary pattern

28、, along with other healthful behavior. The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinsons disease. According to Dr. Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic, high consumption of coffee has health risks. Dr. Hensrud mentions the dangers of high

29、 coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people. According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr. Gregory Ma

30、rcus, a doctor from the University of California, San Francisco, daily moderate consumption of caffeine, less than 4 cups, is not associated with these issues. Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health, it will be up to the indivi

31、dual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks. When informed of these possible health benefits and harm of drinking coffee, Harwood, a high school student stated,“Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee, for the most part, coffee drinking sounds good for health. Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake.”1.What is the peoples attitude towards the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?A.Disapproving.B.Tolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Mixed.2.What does the underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Personal.B.
