You use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot(虚拟聊天机器人).Xiaoice, Microsoft’s latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, the New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.“Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice, ” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis(表情符号)in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming s marter and more common. For instance, IBM’s latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia’s Deakin University, answering students’ questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa ha ve been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms, the New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a “Samantha”, the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha has a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates.【文章大意】本文讲述的是人工智能程序的发展情况, 列举了微信上的聊天程序大受欢迎, IBM的人工智能程序能成为顾问, 但是目前这种程序主要应用在智能手机上, 人们期待它将来可以在手机以外的地方使用。

April 23 marks the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. Organizations in Britain have planned numerous events to honor him.In Stratford-upon-Avon, his birthplace, the tourism organization has a great number of free events, including performances of Shakespeare’s plays, and a dazzling fireworks display. And the BBC is broadcasting a live show from Stratfore-upon-Avon, celebrating Shakespeare’s widespread influence on the world. In England’s capital, the London Shakespeare Centre and King’s College London are holding a series of public performances, exhibitions and activities. It isn’t just England that honors the anniversary of the death of this extraordinary writer. In Washington, D. C., the Folger Shakespeare Library, which houses the world’s largest collection of documents relating to William Shakespeare, is displaying a series of exhibitions.Shakespeare is probably the most famous author who ever lived and is considered a genius by most. He wrote around 37 plays and 154 sonnets(十四行诗), and his work has been translated into over one hundred languages! He penned beautiful metaphors(暗喻), serious dramas and amusing tales.Shakespeare also invented many new terms and phrases. If someone’s behavior suggested they were not being honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called their actions suspicious. If someone was being silly and perhaps looking like a fool, Shakespeare found their actions laughable. And Shakespeare called people who offered their opinions on the quality of something critics. Today, for instance, food critics andfilm critics give audiences their opinions of food and film. The familiar phrase ＂break the ice＂ comes from Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. The ＂ice is broken＂ when a difficult conversation or meeting is calmed by some basic introduction, such as a simple game. More common words coined by Shakespeare include road, gossip, lonely, bump and hurry.Four hundred years after his death, Shakespeare surely lives on, in everyday speech, as the most famous writer of all time!1.

Under the sea李仕才一、阅读理解When I was in the sixth grade, I became a big K-pop (Korean pop) fan. Almost half the students at my middle school were Korean and almost all of them listened to Korean music, especially K-pop. I had never been interested in it. It sounded too strange to me, but all changed in the sixth grade when the huge hit Gee came out. All my friends were singing the chorus and imitating the dance. Gee fever sucked me into K-pop. It became my life. I listened to K-pop non-stop and filled my iPod with it. In a month, I had memorized the names of countless members of boy and girl bands and stuck pictures of my singer ＂boyfriends＂ on my walls. I would ditch my weekend art and math classes and go to concerts with my friends. This would always result in my mom shouting that I was wasting my life. My mom thought K-pop was trash and wanted me to like classical music as she did. But classical music made me sleepy.Every day during middle school I went to a K-pop gossip and news site called . On this site I learned that I could audition(试音) to become a singer in a K-pop band. The shining clothes, thousands of screaming fans and hearing them chant my name seemed much more exciting than being a middle school student. Becoming a K-pop star was all I wanted.I started watching the audition videos of current stars and reading blog posts from people who had auditioned. They explained much about the audition. This made me want to audition even more. After watching those videos, I saw that most of the current stars weren’t that amazing in their auditions and that each singer had improved so much through training. I had never had vocal lessons(声乐课) and didn’t think of myself as a good singer. ＂But if they could do it, I could do that too,＂ I thought.1.What caused the author to fall in love with K-pop?A.

She prefers K-pop to classical music.4.After visiting , the author ________.A. dreamed of becoming a pop singerB. called the manager of the news siteC. contacted people who had auditionedD. knew she would never become a singer【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

Grandparents who help out occasionally with childcare in their community tend to live longer than seniors who do not care for other people，according to a study from Berlin，Germany.“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impact grandparents' health.This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species，”said Sonja Hilbrand，one of the researchers.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70.Overall，after accounting for grandparents' age and general state of health，the risk of dying over a 20­year period was one­third lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren，compared with grandparents who provided no childcare.Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn't a relative.Half of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began，while non­helpers lived for four years on average.“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society.Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，”said Professor Bruno Arpino.Arpino noted，however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working，being in social clubs，or volunteering.“Children should take_into_account their parents' needs，willingness，and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，”he suggested.“It is very important that every individual decides forhimself/herself, what ‘proper amounts of help' means，”Hilbrand said，adding，“As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity (强度)of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”1．What is the caregiving study based on?A．Human evolutionary history.B．Demand of modern society.C．Social contact between relatives.D．Data on many elderly people.2．In Arpino's opinion，childcare ________.A．is sure to keep old people away from illnessesB．allows old people to live a more meaningful lifeC．creates more job opportunities for old peopleD．makes social activities inaccessible to old people3．What does the underlined part“take into account”in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A．Limit. B．Ignore.C．Favor. D．Consider.4．What does the last paragraph tell us?A．Grandparents can do anything in their own interests.B．Grandparents should share more social responsibilities.C．Proper amounts of childcare do good to grandparents.D．Caregiving guarantees every grandparent a longer life.【解题导语】德国柏林一项研究发现，祖父母适当地帮忙照顾孙辈比不照顾孙辈的老年人寿命长。

选修7 Unit 3 Under the sea李仕才一、阅读理解A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children。

Although rather shocking， it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlours(客厅） where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English， too， pay more attention to their pets.This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods，which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much。
