Open AI researchers published a paper on the site ArXiv, org, detailing the possible secure threats that come with“malicious”AI. In fact, Musk has heard the “evil AI”alarm several times, On Aug.11，2017, he warned that artificial intelligence poses a bigger threat to humanity, and he told a gathering of state governors that the government needs to regulate Al before robots start “killing people. ”Musk’s departure from the Open AI board could mean big things for Tesla.

Traditional.35．What can we infer from Eton Goodbye’s comments?A. Level 5 autonomy is impossible.B. The rumors about Tesla is meaningless.C. He has no confidence in Open AI.D. Level 5 autonomy could set human drivers free.三、七选五How To Cultivate Your ConfidenceSelf-confidence, the combination of self-efficacy and self-esteem, is an essential part of humanity, A person with self confidence generally is willing to take risks to achieve his personal goals, Someone who lacks self confidence, however, is less likely to feel that he can achieve his goals, 36．Identify your negative thoughts,Your negative thoughts might sound like this: “I can’t do that,” “I will surely fail”. This inner voice is pessimistic and unhelpful and will hold you back from achieving high self-esteem and greater self confidence.Turn your negative thoughts to positive thoughts.37．This may take the form of positive affirmations, such as “I am going to try it,” “I can be successfu l if I work at it, ”or “people will listen to me.” Start with just a few positive thoughts a day.Refuse to allow negative thoughts to occur more often than positive thoughts.Eventually, your positive thoughts should be given more “brain space” than your negative thoughts, 38．39．Avoid spending time around things that can make you feel bad about yourself again. These might be reminders from the past, clothing that no longer fits, or places that don’t fit with your new goals of gaining confidence. Though you may not be able to get rid of every negative source in your life, you can certainly think about how to cut your losses. 40．A. Get away from your past.B. Rid reminders of your negativity.C. This will go a long way in building up your self-confidence.D. This means that you can have an abundance of self-confidence.E. The more your positive thoughts get ，the less your negative thoughts get.F. As you pay attention to your negative thoughts, turn them around to positive thoughtsG. The good news is that self-confidence is something that you can build on your own.第II卷（非选择题）四、短文改错41．假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

Emma BrofskyBEveryone smiles in the same language. But not everyone smiles in the same medium, and that might be hurting us.That’s according to a new study from researches at the University of Haifa and Ben-Gurion University, both in Israel, and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Inadvertently timed to the recent release of “The Emoji Movie,” scientists decided to study whether using smile emojis in text messages between work colleagues caused the same warm feelings as a face-to-face interaction that includes a smile.The results? For the first time, science was able to confirm that a smile emoji does not conjure those same feelings. Quite the opposite, in face: using a smile emoji in conversation actually decreases perception of the colleague’s competence and inserts a level of distance into the relationship.It’s a phenomenon study leader Arik Cheshin dubbed “virtual first-impression management.” He and his colleagues, including co-leader Ella Glikson, conducted several experiments analyzing the reactions to text messagesthat included smile emojis versus messages that don’t. They also measuredthese same interactions in social settings and found that the emojis actually improved perception.“I believe there is a greater gap in what the sender is hoping to convey and what the receiver interprets,” Cheshin, a professor, said, “This intention-interpretation gap can be damaging.”In addition, Cheshin and colleagues found that the effects of smileyuse on social perceptions occur regardless of the expresser’s perceived gender.So what’s the takeaway here “I don’t think that emoticons and emojis replace actual emotion.” Cheshin told us. “They are just different. The emotions are there and will always be when there are humans involved.”Before picking an emoji that fits your mood at the moment, it’s better to just use words at least when you’re at work. Or, better yet, just show up and talk face-to-face. You know, like the good old days.What is found in the study by Arik?A. Work colleagues use smile emojis moreB. A smile emoji leads to warm feelingsC. Smile emojis keep colleagues at a distanceD. Smiley use works better than face-to-face interactionBEveryone smiles in the same language.

The emotions are there and will always be when there are humans involved.”Before picking an emoji that fits your mood at the moment, it’s better to just use words at least when you’re at work. Or, better yet, just show up and talk face-to-face. You know, like the good old days.According to Cheshin, the emojis senders may not know____.A. how much virtual impression it leavesB. how it changes social settingsC. how it has improved perceptionD. how the receiver will understand itBEveryone smiles in the same language. But not everyone smiles in the same medium, and that might be hurting us.That’s according to a new study from researches at the University of Haifa and Ben-Gurion University, both in Israel, and the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Inadvertently timed to the recent release of“The Emoji Movie,” scientists decided to study whether using smile emojis in text messages between work colleagues caused the same warm feelings as a face-to-face interaction that includes a smile.The results? For the first time, science was able to confirm that a smile emoji does not conjure those same feelings. Quite the opposite, in face: using a smile emoji in conversation actually decreases perception of the colleague’s competence and inserts a level of distance into the relationship.It’s a phenomenon study leader Arik Cheshin dubbed “virtual first-impression management.” He and his colleagues, including co-leader Ella Glikson, conducted several experiments analyzing the reactions to text messages that included smile emojis versus messages that don’t.

What was happening in my brain when I was singing?”Today, Gordon studies how rhythm and music training might help children with atypical language development.“One thing that rhythm and grammar have in common is that they both unfold over time, and our brains form expectancies about what’s coming up based on what we just heard,” says Gordon.Consider the following sentence: The boy read the book that his mother gave to him. “When we hear ‘The boy read,’ then we’re expecting an object after that,” Gordon says. “Then when we hear ’The boy read the book? that we’re expecting an additional clause-something else about the book.’”sentences. But studies have shown that about 7 percent of children have what’s known as developmental language disorder, which prevents their language skills even though they have IQs in the normal range and don’t have autism or hearing impairment. Gordon says. “So expressing complex ideas, especially as theystart to go through school, is difficult.”Gordon studies children with and without language impairment in a training program called MILEStone, which involves weekly Suzuki violin lessons and a weekly movement class.“There may be something that music training can do to help boost things. Maybe we’re able to boost their auditory processing skills in the brain, or something about their rhythm sensitivity in their everyday listeningto language,” Gordon says. “We don’t know yet, so we actually have a whole series of questions to look at.”What did the questions that Reyna considered reflect?A.

Most of the houses were ping fang. I’m Zhang Shimin, from Sichuan Province. I get up at 5:30 every morning, then catch the bus to working site before 7:30. I go to the top of the building, get changed, and set up and check the safet y equipment. Then it’s time to start work. I work at most 200 days per year. Earning 400 yuan per day, no more than 80,000 yuan per year.Of course I was scared but the money was good. You only get about 200 yuan per day, working on a construction site. Tha t’s a big difference！I need to support three people back home, as well as my life here. It’s too hard to earn money, so I don’t want to go back home and waste my money on the trip. I have not been back to see my family for four years. Beijing has been through huge changes in the past 20 years. Now there are tall buildings all over the Third＆Fourth Ring Road. This business is fine for fearless young people, but as you grow older you start to loose your nerve. I will keep doing this until I’m exhausted, Windo w cleaner Zhang Shimin said.参考答案1-5BACBB 6-10AACAB 11-15CBABA 16-20BCABB21.A细节理解题。
