Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能）is the ability of a computer program or a machine to
think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers smart. John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name artificial intelligence in 1955. Many things such as learning
and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as we do.
An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn, solve problems,
and think logically(逻辑地）. At present we use the term Al for successfully understanding human speech, recognizing(识别）human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game systems like Chess and AlphGo（阿尔法狗）. Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking (霍金), a well-known British scientist, was not for this kind of technology.
Math is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We not only want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them the math skills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for A I designing.
Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.
23. From Paragraph 1, we know that
A. all problems can be solved by AI
B. machines with AI can think and learn
C. AI has been around for only 60 years.

about AI. 26. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists' A. wishes

Kennedy's In our culture, the John decisions is important. F. own make ability to one's thought. of of the opinion without discomfort comfort enjoy often 引语）quote(Too we the shows an unpleasant truth.
Much of what we know and believe has been taught to us by others, and we often accept this information without spending much time thinking it over for ourselves.
of today's In world, but beliefs, ideas information, with being are we presented and many
tells us that if we hear an idea enough times, orthem are against each other. Psychology(心理学）6
心t comes from someone we respect(尊敬), we will probably believe that idea. In these cases, we base our opinions on the opinions of others. If each of us does not think about this information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions , we will become nothing more than parrots（鹦鹉）quoting the opinions of others.
Examples of spreading fake news without thought can be seen on the Internet. Some people believe whatever they read and then share the story without thinking about the facts. All it takes is one quick click(点击）of the share button, and the story travels on its way to influence even more unthinking readers. This can cause serious problems.
If we just stop for a moment to think about what we read and hear, and form our own opinions, we will be more thoughtful, more independent, and more creative people, but few take that time. Yet we need not lose heart over this bad habit. In fact, simply becoming aware (意识到）of it is the first step towards correcting it. Once we become aware that we tend(趋向）to hold opinions and beliefs without thinking them through, we can change that pattern of behavior. Hopefully, we can learn to experience and enjoy the discomfort of thought and form our own opinions.
27. What's the purpose of this passage?
A. To describe how Internet news spreads.
B. To explain why people don't have their own opinions.
C. To tell people that they should have their own thoughts.
D. To warn people not to believe other people's ideas.

ake in Paragraph 4 probably means
A. untrue
B. unhappy

29. How can we have our own opinions according to the passage?
A. By spreading the information we receive.
B. By learning more about psychology.
C. By quoting others' opinions like parrots.
D. By thinking about what we read and hear.
