Such enormous numbers used t
29、o discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain,
30、and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machine of silicon will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancest
31、ors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbons long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robo
32、ts increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale, we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined; further ahead, by a combinat
33、ion of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.（分数：10.00）(1).In what way can we make a machine intelligent?A. By making it work in such envir
34、onments as deserts, oceans or space.B. By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C. By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D. By reproduce it.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?A. He believes they will be useful to human beings.B. He
35、believes that they will control us in the future.C. He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D. He doesnt consider the construction of such machines possible.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The word “carbon“ in Para. 2 stands for _.A. intelligent robots B. a chemical elementC. an organic substanc
36、e D. human beings（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when _.A. its intelligence and cost are beyond questionB. it is able to bear the rough environmentC. it is made as complex as the human brainD. its architecture is different from that of the present ones（分数：2.00）A.B.C.
37、D.(5).It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproductionB. with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC. onc
38、e we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will possess intelligenceD. robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would arg
39、ue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do
40、not remain “ivory towers“ (象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in uni
41、versity in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man
42、“, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.“ Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justific
43、ation for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.（分数：10.00）(1).We can know from the first paragraph that the author _.A. believes traditio
44、nal universities have done a good job serving the communityB. believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of societyC. thinks some experts require too much of universitiesD. thinks universities should do more than just research and teach（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It can be i
45、nferred from the second paragraph that _.A. society is not satisfied with the present college educationB. interference from the government is unwelcomeC. teachers are forced to do what they dont like to doD. its a mistake for universities to teach courses of no commercial use（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The
46、 example of Aristotle indicates that _.A. universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduatesB. universities should stop teaching philosophyC. high technology is now valued more than other courses in universitiesD. universities should put more stress on computer science（分数：2.00）
47、A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, literature, music and the arts _.A. contribute directly to economic growthB. are as necessary to man as medical and social servicesC. are justified since they bring profitsD. are a good way of earning money（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The author implies that _.A. econom
48、y should always be a nations first considerationB. universities should take cost into account when they decide what courses they will offerC. successful musical plays are part of national economyD. economic growth is not the only need of mankind（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage There(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Televis
49、ion has changed the life style of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most peoples lives. It alters peoples ways of seeing the world; in
