So-called simple or narrow Al systems are already everywhere・ From Apple Siri to Facebook's friend recommendations, its in our cars, our homes, and air traffic control. A narrow Al has been around for years, doing one specific task better than any human. The computer Deep Blue, beat the world chess champion, way back in 1997. But ask it to play draughts, and it wouldn't know where to start・ It couldn't learn the game for itself. It couldrft think as a human. And so we come back to the challenge. Some say the danger of creating a hu man or general Al, a computer mind that thinks like a human, that learns, that improves, but could even become superhuman. Experts predict 2050 is the year we could see it If it Isn't impossible. It is a risk worth billions. Some say it will save humanity・ Others say it could destroy us. Either way, if and when it happens, the world will be changed forever.fieactinj & InteractingI.Understanding the Text1.Text Organizationprehension Check2.1Digging into detail1)Because we have already encountered a lot of threats, such as the possibility of a bioterrorist creating a new virus for which humankind has no defense.2)Because technology can affect our life both positively and negatively.3)He wants to tell us that violence is declining and we can take comfort from it.4)To assess the potential dangers of recombinant DNA and devise a strategy to keep the field safe.5)Isaac Asimov・6)He is more optimistic than other scientists and predicts that we will achieve human-level Al by 2029.7)The most important approach is to work on our human governanee and social institutions・8)He concludes that we should nol fear Al and we will be able to use it in a safe way.2.2Understanding difficult sentencesI.

Some people take/draw comfort from the hope that sufficient safeguards can be integrated into the design of the super-intelligent robots of the future.4.2TranslationAlthough some scientists have voiced their fears that artificial Intelligence may posa a threat to the existenu of the human race, efforts to create thinking machines have never stopped. Similar to Google, Apple and others, Baidu — "the Google of China" — is exploring computer systems that can learn in much the same way people do. It set up a research lab in Silicon Valley in 2013 where it could have access to a huge talent pool of top engineers and scientists. The lab was dedicated to "deep learning7' — an emerging computer science field that seeks to mimic the hurran brain with hardware and software・ In November of the same year, Baidu released its first voice search service based on deep learning, and it claims the tool had decreased errors by about 30 percent. Since then Baidu has madw great stedws in exploring deep learning・ However, the technology still has a long way to go.Rgddtns Q CompYhwndtns1. Comprehension Check for Reading 1A. (8) B・(l) C.(13) D.

英语翻译Unit one Nine to fivepassage1 大学毕业找工作的第一要义：别躺在沙发上做梦今年夏天，超过65 万的大学生毕业离校，其中有许多人根本不知道怎么找工作。

在当今金融危机的背景下，做父母的该如何激励他们？1 七月，你看着英俊的21岁的儿子穿上学士袍，戴上四方帽，骄傲地握着大学荣誉学位证书，拍毕业照。

这时，记忆中每年支付几千英镑，好让儿子吃好、并能偶尔参加聚会的记忆开始消退。

但现在，你又不得不再考虑钱的问题。

2 等到暑假快要结束，全国各地的学生正在为新学期做准备的时候，你却发现大学毕业的儿子还歪躺在沙发上看电视。

除此之外，他只是偶尔发发短信，浏览社交网站Facebook，或者去酒吧喝酒。

这位属于“千禧一代”的年轻人一夜之间变成了“抱怨一代”的成员。

他能找到工作吗？3 这就是成千上万家庭所面临的状况：今年夏天，超过65万的大学生毕业，在当今金融危机的背景下，他们中的大多数人不知道自己下一步该做什么。

父母只会唠叨，而儿女们则毫无缘由地变成了叛逆者。

他们知道自己该找份工作，但却不知道如何去找。

4 来自米德尔塞克斯郡的杰克·古德温今年夏天从诺丁汉大学政治学系毕业，获得二级一等荣誉学士学位。

他走进大学就业服务中心，但又径直走了出来，因为他看见很多人在那里排长队。

跟他一起住的另外5个男孩子也都跟他一样，进去又出来了。

找工作的压力不大，虽然他所认识的大多数女生都有更明确的计划。

5 他说：“我申请政治学研究工作，但被拒绝了。

他们给的年薪是1.8万镑，交完房租后所剩无几，也就够买一罐豆子，可他们还要有工作经历或硕士学位的人。

然后我又申请参加快速晋升人才培养计划，并通过了笔试。

但在面试时，他们说我‘太冷漠’了，谈吐‘太像专家政治论者’。

我觉得自己不可能那样，但我显然就是那样的。

”6 打那以后，他整个夏天都在“隐身”。

他能够轻松地复述出电视剧《交通警察》中的若干片段。

他白天看电视的时间太长，已经到了影响健康的地步。

Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle.

At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions.

He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones.

But for those who have lost their loved ones in the event, will time fill up the void in their hearts?Today, long after the earthquake shook // hit my tome-town, I can still recall, in crystal detail, what I saw as I ran out of my home with my parents. The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun.Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming.Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one. In the town square, a memorial has been build to remember those killed in the disaster. It seems the wounds in people’s hearts have healed, but the memory will linger.。
