内蒙古包头市2018届高三第一次模拟考试及答案语文试题一、现代文阅读（35分）（一）论述类文本阅读（本题共3小题，9分）阅读下面的文字，完成1—3题。

中华美学精神是在中国传统文化土壤中生长发育的，中国古典艺术、古典美学是其根本，中国人的审美情趣和审美文化是其外化形式。

传统农耕文明及其文化系统，是中国古典美学的基础。

中国人对自然的亲和态度，对山水林木的深情凝望，对植物鸟虫细腻的审美，对四季规律的准确把握，对田园生活诗意的美化，对安土乐居落叶归根的期盼，无不体现出温带大陆性气候中农耕民族的自然审美偏向。

士人和僧道构筑的精神天地与世俗社会现实世界拉开了些许距离，但关注的焦灼目光从未移开，甚至是以退为进、以隐促出，以超脱之姿态求深度精神介入，无为而无不为。

先天下而忧后天下而乐，达则兼济天下，穷则独善其身，中国诗抒情言志不脱此道，诗意追求是所有艺术的共同点，因而古典美学精神贯穿于中国人的生活态度、情感世界和艺术创造及精神境界之中。

审美趣味随着时代的发展而发展，易学的简易变易不易三原则奠定了中国古代美标准的基本原则，先秦百家争鸣的开放性成为后世多元思想的出发点。

秦之峻厉，汉之雄浑，魏晋风流、南北朝之多元并存，隋之一统，唐之雍容、宋之清雅，元之粗放，明之世俗、清之古雅，各有面目气息不同，审美情趣嬗变轨迹可循。

一代之精神气质影响其艺术风格，每一朝代的不同阶段又有明显差异。

如唐代初期尚清新刚健，盛期尚华美开放，中期多元并举，晚期靡丽诡异。

传统文化是传而统之的文化，流传长久说明其有着历史合理性和时代适应性，在精神领域占统治地位，说明其理论形式的完善与精致，植根传统文化的中华美学精神不仅与意识形态的显性结构相合，也渗透到民族心理的潜意识层面，是集体无意识的共同倾向。

中国古典美学把中和之美、自然之美、素淡之美奉为至高标准，在世界美学之林独树一帜。

大俗大雅、雅俗共赏、雅俗转化，使高雅艺术和民间艺术内在沟通，村夫石匠可能在造园立石中有天机野趣，世外高人担水砍柴间也解悟土风妙道；艺术家则在曲水流觞、渔樵唱晚的生活嬉戏中感悟艺术真谛，经验形态的古典美学让人在各类艺术品评中品味生活。

So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind.“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her re search,” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density (密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.”“My design will ensure the safety of t he astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world,” Dobek says.Dobek’s design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or Self-Growing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek’s design. A simulator (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual (虚拟的) reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.“I want to tell other kids to follow their passions,” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.”24.What did Dobek tell other kids?A.Kids should stay in the comfort zone.B. Kids should follow their dreams .C. Kids should travel to Mars.D. Kids should care about others.25. Dobek first became interested in space when .A. she was still a seventh-graderB. she studied at junior high schoolC. she lived on the top of their houseD. she watched an eclipse of the moon26. Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because .A. she knew Dobek liked challenges in lifeB. she had no other students interested in MarsC. she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performanceD. Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts27. What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station?A. The environment on Mars.B. The supplies of foodC. The physical activities for astronauts.D. The safety and comfort of the astronauts.CWilliam I, who conquered England some 930 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, or riding lawn mower (除草机). How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldn’t buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, you’d think I’d be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howard’s new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. You’d think that simply not havingdisease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by today’s standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers’ fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby.I can’t keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait.28. What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mea n?A. Succeed as a king.B. Deal with complaints.C. Live in a satisfactory way. D Get the money needed.29. How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A. 4.B. 3.C. 5.D. 6.30.According to the passage, the author intends to .A. warn us to live in a simple way.B. tell us to be content with lifeC. teach us to learn lessons from lifeD. encourage us to struggle for wealth31.What’s the author’s attitude towards life?A. Doubtful.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Negative.DMarvin Minsky is often called the Father of Artificial Intelligence. His work helped inspire the creation of the personal computer and the Internet.Artificial IntelligenceBefore Minsky, computers were more like calculators, performing maths operations at speeds much faster than humans. Minsky was the first to say that computers can one day be as intelligent as human beings. He was so convinced about this, that in 1919, he and his friend John McCarthy invented the term “Artificial Intelligence” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Minsky wrote a book called Perceptrons, describing a particular type of “artificial neural (神经的) network”．Neural networks have made a comeback in a new field of Computer Science called Deep Learning. Deep Learning is used to recognize things and people in pictures (as seen in Facebook and Google Photos), languagetranslation (try Google Translate sometimes), and so on.Robotics, Microscopes and Virtual RealityHow many of you have done Robotics at school and loved it? You have Minsky to thank again, for his work on Robotics. One of his biggest inventions was the confocal scanning microscope, an instrument that is still widely used today in medical and scientific research.Minsky was really futuristic. He created one of the first head­mounted graphics displays (头戴式图形显示), which gave rise to the exciting area of Virtual Reality. This year, Facebook is releasing Oculus, a virtual reality headset, which you can use to play games with your friends in a 3­D environment.Minsky's major prediction that computers will one day become as intelligent as humans is now called the Theory of Singularity.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Minsky himself inven ted the term “Artificial Intelligence” in MIT.B．Minsky transformed computer into a machine more intelligent than human beings.C．Apart from Information Technology, Minsky's invention is also used in medical field.D．Minsky often play games in a 3­D enviro nment.33. Which is NOT the function of Deep Learning?A．Recognize people in Facebook.B．Spot items in Google Photos.C．Summarize main idea of a passage.D．Translate English into French.34. Which is one of Minsky's characteristics according to the passage?A．Foolish. B．Creative. C．Humourous. D．Considerate.35. In which section of a newspaper can you read this passage?A．Technology. B．Travel. C．Environment. D．Life.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could- he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nichola s went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show. Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life, In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.5. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A. He caught a coldB. He broke his skis.C. He hurt his eyesD. He got lost.6. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A. He built a snow cave.B. He lighted some branches.C. He kept on skiing.D. He found a shelter.7. On Tuesday, Nicholas _____.A. returned to his shelter safelyB. got stuck in the snowC. was saved by a searcherD. staved where he wasCRachel Louise Carson was born on May 27th, 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania.

One of Rachel’s favorite subjects was oceanology.Rachel attended college at the Pennsylvania College for Women where she majored in biology. She later got her master’s degree in zoology from John’s Hopkins University. After graduation, Rachel taught for a while and then got a job at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. At first, she wrote for a weekly radio program that educated people on marine biology. Later, she became a marine biologist and chief editor of publications for the Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition to her workat the Fish and Wildlife Service, Rachel wrote articles for magazines about the ocean. In 1941, she published her first book called Under the Sea Wind.

She named it Silent Spring referring to bird death due to pesticides and the spring being silent without their songs.

In this challenge, young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand. To prepare for the competition, the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries.Perhaps the show’s populari ty should not be a surprise. Along with gunpowder and paper, many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy(书法)to be one of their primary contributions to civilization. Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet. The correct character is chosen from a list. The result? It’s possible to recogniz e characters without remembering how to write them.But there’s still hope for the paint brush. China’s Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher’s examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition an d culture,” she reasons. “Students must learn now so they don’t forget when they grow up.” says the teacher.12. Which of the following is closest in meaning with the underlined sentence is paragraph 2?A. Ever Chinese can write Chinese characters easily, especially with computersB. Only with the help of computers can some Chinese people write Chinese charactersC. Despite the help of computers, Chinese people have forgotten how to writeD.

It’s the most-viewed TV programs in China.C .It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world.D .It draws great public attention across the country.14. Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters?A. Chinese people don’t refer to dictionaries very often.B. Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy.C. Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters.D. Chinese people needn’t write by hand as often with the help of technology.35.According to Shen Bin, being able to write characters by hand is__________.A. necessary for adults to survive in ChinaB. a requirement made by the Education MinistryC .helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture aliveD. an ability to be developed only when you are students第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

内蒙古包头市2018届高三第一次模拟考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择These days I am on my very best behavior whenever I leave the house. If I am wearing pantyhose(连裤袜), I double-check to ensure there is no hole on it. I drive thoughtfully as if I’m being tested for a license. I won’t even allow myself to frown when another driver is blocking my path.My kids have noticed my fear in public. “Why are you looking all around, Mum?” they asked.“You can’t be too careful,” I said. “E very single person around us is hiding one of cell phone cameras. They are glad to catch somebody doing something stupid or embarrassing. Then they’ll put it on YouTube and a million people will see. I’m not taking any chances.”“But I don't think anyone i s interested in filming you putting on your lipstick for a YouTube video.” answered one kid.“Oh, really? Don't count me out so quickly.” I said.Actually, in some cases, I am all for public shaming. For example, I admire the cleverness of the man who put up a website where he posts photos of cars and license numbers of people who occupy two parking spots. And I take secret pleasure in photos of politicians with their fingers in their noses. Throwing light on bad behavior can awake the sleepy conscience(良知).But what about the poor guy who has already had a bad day at work and then loses his temper at a rude store clerk? What about the woman whose only crime is a terrible judgment error at the hairdresser? Do they deserve to have their images uploaded onto the Internet for all the world to see?None of this is new, of course. Allen Funt pioneered the art of catching people during unguarded moments back in the 1940s with “Candid Camera”. But there’s a difference. On “Candid Camera”, people are set up in staged situations, such as riding in an elevator that goes sideways. And they must give permission before they enjoy their fifteen minutes of fame. Now we are a nation of Allen Funts. This can’t be a good thing.1．What is the author like?A．She is poor at driving.B．She is a very fashionable dresser.C．She is very cautious about her behavior.D．She is sick to death of others’ rudeness.2．What is the author truly afraid of?A．Making mistakes before her kids.B．Being filmed while doing something stupid.C．Getting involved in a quarrel with others.D．Watching videos on YouTube.3．From the text, the author thinks it good________.A．to keep the poor’s mistakes secret.B．to download images from the Internet.C．to take pleasure in making funny videos.D．to make the public aware of bad behavior.4．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggest?A．People can be easily caught in embarrassing moments.B．We are permitted to upload images onto the Internet.C．It was once a fashion to film people in unguarded moments.D．Cell phones make it convenient to catch illegal behavior.Wearing a red nose for a day may seem like a strange way to raise money for charity. However, it seems to work in Britain. Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the series “Blackadder” as well as the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill’’. Richard’s idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia. It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas: treating malaria, education,maternal health and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised £ 74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND． If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a certain amount of money for your actions. Here are some ways that people raise money: wear their pyjamas (睡衣) all day at work or in school, or grow a moustache or beard for a month.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It is all for a good cause!5．The purpose of Comic Relief is .A．to celebrate Red Nose DayB．to help those in need in Africa and BritainC．to warn people against some diseasesD．to raise mone y for Mr. Curtis’s films6．Red Nose Day got its name mainly from its .A．creator B．birthplaceC．aid receivers D．products for sale7．Which of the following is TRUE about Red Nose Day?A．It is celebrated in the spring every other year.B．People celebrate this day to bring happiness to others.C．Richard Curtis, the famous writer, started Red Nose Day.D．Some people raise money by growing a beard for a week.8．Paragraph 4 is mainly to show that in Britain RND .A．is considered an official holiday B．lasts for a long timeC．is popular with people D．is well designed for TVVinegar is great. It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even clean your windows with it. And now, according to scientists, it may even help the pla net’s population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan proved that. They found growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower.The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate (醋酸盐)—the main component of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help fanners in dry countries keep their c rops alive. “In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize… and proved successful” Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to companies and amateur gardeners. “Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make a method to apply this system, and make the process as simple as possible,” h e said. Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future.9．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．Vinegar may help creatures survive bad weather.B．Vinegar is found in plants by Japanese scientists.C．Vinegar is very useful for cooking a good meal.D．Vinegar is mainly used by people to clean houses.10．Scientists in Japan find from their studies that .A．the Arabidopsis could survive in dry weather because of the shapeB．soil condition could be changed by pouring vinegar continuallyC．the acetate can be used by farmers to replace the soilD．the plants treated with acetate could survive dry conditions11．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．It’s too difficult for farmers to accept the method.B．How to decrease the cost is the main issue.C．The method is promising especially in agriculture.D．Keeping plants alive means a lot for scientists.12．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Japanese Scientists Find a PlantB．Vinegar Could End HungerC．Vinegar and FoodD．Plants Need Water二、七选五Encouraging friends to discuss their problems can be difficult. Some people think it hard to open up to others because they don’t think other people care about their problems. 13．The best help you can offer to a friend going through a difficult time is your ears. There are many things you can do to get a friend to talk about his problems.14．Your friend will be more likely to open up to you if he feels that you care about him. Let him know that you are there for him and that he can share anything with you, regardless, of how bad it is.Don’t offer your answer to every problem your friend shares.15．Refer your friend to a medical expert if his problem is serious or life-threatening. Don’t try to handle it by yourself.Do not be judgmental.16．A critical attitude will make your friend not want to share his problems with you. If he tells you something horrible, don’t overreact. Be understanding and sympathetic.Let your friend know it is OK to feel bad.

His father stopped, breathing heavily. “this is hard on you, but you’ve got to come through with courage!”He gently placed his hand on the boy’s shoulder. “Now. I don’t know if I can make it without stopping every so often. You’re young. but you are strong and fast. Do you remember the way back from here to the road, if you had to go alone?”Jeff flashed back to the painful scene of Mark, his seventeen-year-old brother at their campsite. He was bitten by a snake yesterday. This morning he couldn’t move, and the pain got worse. He needed medical attention right away. They had left their phone in the car, and it must have been out of power by then. Leaving Mark at the campsite and seeking help was their only choice. “Jeff, could you do it?”Jeff looked to the end of the canyon, several miles away, He nodded and a plan began to take hold in his mind. “What is the name of that little town we stopped, Dad?” there must be a hospital there.“Flint. We parked at the side of the road a few miles out of Flint.”Jeff nodded.Then they continued climbing. Stone by stone, they made their way up the canyon. Gradually, Jeff’s father grew smaller and smaller in the distance. Jeff waved to him and then climbed toward the road. Two hours later, he finally reached the road and struggled toward the town, almost exhausted.“Can’t stop,” he though. Mark’s in big trouble. Keep going.” Suddenly, he saw a truck heading toward him. “Hey, mister!” he shouted, waving both arms. He began to jog toward the truck, and then broke into a full-speed run.His chest was burning with every breath when the truck driver stopped by him. Jeff explained breathlessly. The driver reached for his cellphone as soon as he heard about Mark. “Better get the helicopter in there,” he said immediately. But Jeff wasn’t sure about that because everything got unclear and then went black and quiet.Hours later, Jeff opened his eyes to find his father on a chair nearby. “Y ou’re a hero, son,” his father said with a smile. “You had the helicopter sent into the canyon after Mark. I can’t tell you how happy I was when I saw it overhead. They got him to the hospital. He’s going to be fine soon. I’m so proud of you!”24. Why did Jeff and his father climb up the canyon?A.

Jeff preferred going by himself27. What can be the best words to describe Jeff?A. Determined and caringB. Cautious and sensitiveC. Humorous and ambitiousD. Generous and kindCWhy do you go to the library? For books, yes—but you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else’s life. At one type of library you can do just that—even though there’s not a single book.At a Human Library, instead of books. you can “borrow” people. People with unique life stories volunteer to be the “books.” For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating as any you can find in a book. (If you attend, make sure to review the habits that make you a good listener. ) Many of the stories have to do with some kind of depressing topic. You can speak with a refugee, a soldier suffering from PISD(创伤后遗症), a homeless person and a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to take time to truly get to know and learn from someone they might otherwise make a snap judgement about. According to its website, the Human Library is“a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.”The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Romni Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, hoping to raise awareness among youth about depression, which has been growing ever since.Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio. Check out the organization’s Facebook page to see whenthe Human Library might be arriving near you.28. What shall we do before going to the Human Library?A. Bring a book.B. Get a library card.C. Go over some listening habits.D. Make an appointment.29. What does the underlined word “snap” in paragraph 2 mean?A. True.B. Obvious.C. WrongD. Quick.30. Why did Rormi Abergel found the Human Library Organization?A. He expected to answer different question.B. He wanted young people to pay attention to depression.C. He successfully held an event in Northern Europe.D. He had set up the Human Libraries all over the world.31. What is the best title of the text?A. A Library in DenmarkB. Human Library OrganizationC. Human Library Is Near YouD. “Borrow” People Instead of BooksDGoogle’s new artificial intelligence can defeat both humans and other AIs. Fortunately, the only war zone where it fights and wins is the ancient board game Go(围棋).AlphaGo Zero, developed by Google—owned DeepMind, is the latest AI program. The original AlphaGo defeated Go master Lee Sedol last year, and Alphago Master, an updated version, went on to win 60 games against top human players. What’s different about AlphaGo Zero is that it became potentially the world’s best Go player with any help from humans.The program AlphaGo Zero started off knowing only the basic rules and then played millions of games against itself in just a few days. After almost five million games played against itself, AlphaGo Zero could outplay humans and the original AlphaGo. After 40 days, it was capable of beating AlphaGo Master.The program learned the strategies humans accumulated over thousands of years in a matter of weeks and also developed nontraditional strategies and moves that beat the techniques of the human masters, leaving them astonished. “At each stage of the game, it seems to gain a bit here and lose a bit there, but somehow it ends up slightly ahead, as if by magic,” said Andrew Jackson of the American G o Association DeepMind says it has plans for the technology behind AlphaGo Zero beyond just defeating all over an ancient game board. “In the end, we want to apply these breakthroughs to helping solve all sorts of pressing real world problems like designing new materials,” said Demis Hassabis, co-founder and CEO of DeepMind, in a statement.real worldThat sounds great, but just as a precaution, let’s take the advice of Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking and keep any super—fast learning AI away from the nuclear launch codes for now.32. Which was probably the earliest Al program to play Go according to the text’?A. DeepMind.B. AlphaGo Zero.C. AlphaGo Master.D. AlphaGo.33. What makes AlphaGo Zero different from its other versions?A. It beats AlphaGo Master.B. It teaches itself.C. It knows the basic rules of Go.D. It plays against itself for a long time.34, What’s DeepMind’s plan for the A I technology?A. To design a new version.B. To win all the ancient board games.C. To inspire the world with solutions to global issues.D. To beat human beings all over the world.35. How does the author feel about AI?A. Cautious.B. Supportive.C. Negative.D. Encouraging.第二节(共5小题;每题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
