18、 the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat.And I havedis

19、covered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They dont get to see this soft side of others. Often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which inclu

20、des a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with s

21、ome speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me.At the moment , I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights,I was sayin

22、g to the other drivers,I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can. And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldnt get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in f

23、ront of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we dont feel that way.But those are few and far between. More often,it would be better if we dont pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.24.The autho

26、rength.D.A Driving Experience.3.Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva? Chances are that you would prefer Watson, right? But why?“Easy na

27、mes are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ” Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found

28、in their recent study.In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles are deaf” and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot

29、jump” and asked volunteers whether they thought the claims were true.The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our

30、judgments about products can be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food additive (添加劑) with an easier name as safer and a stock (股票)with an easier name as more lucrative (利潤豐厚的),according to Medical Daily.But researchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on w

31、here someone comes from. For example, a native British man may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort. Newman hopes that this finding can make us better see our biases (偏見). Its not just unfair to people that we make judgments based on gut feeli

32、ngs (直覺) rather than facts, and it can sometimes have serious consequences.For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply because their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may let go of qualified job candidates due to their“difficult”names

33、.Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharva?28.What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment?A.Volunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.B.A difficult name doesnt influence the way the volunteers v

34、iewed the claims.C.Volunteers trusted claims paired with easy names more often.D.Volunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.29.The underlined words“this effect”in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect _.A.names have on peoples judgmentsB.gut feelings have on people from different placesC.of

35、decisions made based on factsD.of peoples biases against certain types of people30.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A.We should think twice before we make a decision.B.The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likely it is you will get a job.C.Judging people based on their names may

36、 cause serious problems.D.Russians have less bias against peoples names than the British.31.What is probably the best title for the text?A.Names Affect ProductsB.Employers Prefer Shobha BhattacharvaC.Difficult Names are TrustworthyD.Easy Names Win Out4.Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo da Vin

37、ci. the art world has never lacked talent.And now, a new painter is ready to join the list, although this one isnt even human.Next month, the auction house Christies Prints and Multiples will make history by offering the first piece of art created by artificial intelligence (AI) for sale. The painti

38、ng is a portrait of a man called Edmond De Belamy, and is expected to be sold for up to $ 10,000.The work, which features a man with a mysterious look on his face, was created by software developed by the French art group Obvious. Laugero-Lasserre, an art collector, called the work grotesque and ama

39、zing at the same time. This isnt the first example of AI-produced artwork, as AI has already been used to write poems and compose songs. However, many people doubt whether it should be called art at all.According to Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) , art is about creating emotion(情感). Itsa mea

40、ns of. joining people together in the same feelings, he once said.So, if the emotion behind art is what makes it, the ability to create and use tools is what makes human beings different from other species. And as a tool itself, the AI technology used to create the portrait is the result of a lot of

41、 effort made by several designers. Together, they fed the AI a huge collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, until it was able to work out how to make similar paintings of its own.The introduction of AI art could be the beginning of a new artistic movement. However, not everyone

42、is ready to welcome these high-tech artists just yet.The human mind is whats behind the AI technology. And the human mind is not a cold, hard fact, said Oscar Schwartz, a professor of AI. Rather, it is something thats created with our opinions and something that changes over time. 32.Why does the au

43、thor mention the artists in Paragraph l?A.To introduce their works.B.To make an advertisement.C.To present a piece of news.D.To focus the topic on AI.33.What does the underlined word grotesque in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Strange.B.Simple.C.Messy.D.Understandable.34.What can we learn about the AI-produced

44、artwork according to Paragraph 5?A.It comes from human works.B.It shows the human ability to create.C.It expresses human feelings effectively.D.It is beyond the imagination of humans.35.Oscar Schwartz thinks the human mind is _compared with AI.A.limitedB.DecisiveC.uselessD.meaningful二、七選五5.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短
