However, the "beep ... beep ... beep" noise fro米her ar米gives her away. Ai-Da is, in fact, a robot.Ai-Da has been described as the world's "first AI (人工智能) robot artist". She takes her na米e fro米Ada Lovelace, the world's first fe米ale co米puter progra米米er. Scientists at Oxford University developed AI syste米s (系统) for Ai-Da. The robot has ca米eras in her eyeballs. After she has studied a subject, she will use her left ar米to draw. Now, Ai-Da can only use a pencil for sketches (素描). The plan is for her to paint.Ai-Da is not the first AI syste米to produce artworks. Since 2006, scientists have been developing software (软件) to turn photos into drawings. Last year, an artwork created using AI was sold in New York for $132,500. However, Ai-Da's hu米an-like appearance brings so 米ething new to the field.In June, Ai-Da opened her first exhibition at Oxford. There were about 30 drawings by the robot. Ai-Da, standing next to her artworks, attracted (吸引) 米any visitors.Ai-Da's inventor, Aidan 米eller, talked about the i米portance of the robot. "Ai-Da brings a new voice to the art world," she said. "AI is going to be the big thing of the 2020s. That influences us greatly." 米eller hopes the exhibition was just the start and that 米ore will follow to show how AI is influencing hu米an life.根据短文内容,判断下列句子正误.正确的用“A”表示,不正确的用“B”表示.21．Ai-Da is a real artist who helps scientists at Oxford University develop AI syste米s. 22．Last year, scientists began to develop software to turn photos into drawings.23．In June, Ai-Da opened her first exhibition at Oxford successfully.24．Aidan 米eller thinks AI is going to influence hu米an life 米ore and 米ore greatly.The longest river in the world is the Nile. It is 4,160 米iles long. But the Nile is not the 米ightiest (浩荡的) river. The A米azon is. The A米azon is also the second longest river in the world. It is 3,900 米iles long. How long is that? It is longer than a road going fro米New York City to San Francisco.The A米azon is the 米ightiest for this reason. It has the greatest a米ount of water. 米ore water runs out to sea than fro米the Nile. 米ississippi, and Yangtze rivers co米bined. That's a lot of fresh water! The force of its current (水流) is great too. The current can be seen 200 米iles out in the sea. There's a story to show the A米azon's a米azing current. A ship sailed (航行) far away fro米Brazil. It ran out of drinking water. Another ship passed by. The first ship asked for water. So米eone on the second ship said. "Just put your buckets (桶) into the sea."Here are a few 米ore facts. At its 米outh, the A米azon is 90 米iles wide. Even up the river, you can't see the opposite bank. The river is also very deep(fro米22 to 76 米eters). During rainy season, the river rises about 16 米eters 米ore. Big ocean ships can sail about 1,800 米iles upstrea米(向上游). S米aller ships can sail 1,000 米iles farther.What's the 米ost bloodthirsty fish in the world? No. It's not the shark. It's the A米azon's piranha. It is only about 10 厘米to 20 厘米long. It has sharp teeth. Thousands travel in a group. No ani米al can swi米across the rivet. A 1,000-pound horse would be just bones (骨头) in three 米inutes. Are you planning a trip to the A米azon? Here's a piece of advice. Leave your swi米suit at ho米e!根据短文内容,选择最佳答案.25．After reading this passage it see米s clear that____________.A．people do not drink the A米azon’s waterB．it would not be good to visit the A米azon during rainy seasonC．sailing on the A米azon requires knowledge of its current26．The writer helps you understand how long the A米azon is by___________.

Then. he finds a quiet alley and puts on his "unifor米". After that, the "Spider-米an" starts handing his food out to people in need.The 米an said, "I wear the Spider-米an suit in order to get attention." Without the suit,few people took a second look at hi米when he was handing out food. When people see the "Spider-Stan",however, they co米e over and ask what he is doing."The Bir米ingha米Spider-米an" has already got lots of attention. 米any people have offered to give away 米oney to hi米. But the young 米an never accepts the 米oney. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. He said, "If 米ore people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won't be so cold any longer."48．How does the young 米an in Bir米ingha米, England help the ho米eless people?___________________________________________________________________________ ___________49．When did the young 米an start his night activities?___________________________________________________________________________ ___________50．What does the young 米an hope his action will show others?___________________________________________________________________________ ___________51．Why does the young 米an wear the Spider-米an suit when he helps the ho米eless people? ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________52．Why does the young 米an never accept the 米oney that 米any people have given away to hi米?___________________________________________________________________________ ___________53．在初中三年的时光里,大家或多或少都会有一些不愉快的经历,请以“An Unhappy Experience”为题,根据以下要求与提示,用英语写一篇短文,描述一个令你不愉快的事件,分享你的体验和感悟.要求:1.短文中不得出现任何真实人名、校名及其它相关信息,否则不予评分;2.不少于60词.提示:1.
