17、isfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Websters Dictionary and read the definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, its an object existing since or belonging to earlier times.a work of art. a piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the

18、dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable.

21、it can become.” I believed this was important for my own self-worth.Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time.

23、“l dont have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened,“Could I take you to school for show and tell?”“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered.

27、e bank holidays. In the UK, we only get eight bank holidays in one year, and at least five of those occur around Christmas time and Easter time! A bank holiday is a British English term.

28、hough its a weekdayusually a Monday, and a lot of people have a day off work.Bank holidays are different in Colombiafirstly, they are called “festivos”. There are twenty festivos for the whole country in one year! In Britain, people get more holiday allowances(津贴)than Colombians but fewer bank holid

29、ays. There can be even more festivos in Colombia, depending on which region of Colombia you live in. This is because different regions have their own holidays. For example, some regions have a patron saint (守护神), so they have an extra festivo to celebrate that saint.However, there are some days that

30、 are national holidays for historical reasons. There is an Independence Day celebration on July 20 every year.

31、 October 12. Columbus Day is a historical bank holiday that almost every county on the continent of America celebrates. This includes Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Mexico and the United States. It is memorialization of the day when the Italian sailor, Christopher Columbus, first reached land on

32、the continent in the year 1492.

Different bank holidays in the world.DMany leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades, artificial intelligence will be able to d

36、o not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs, forever transforming life on Earth.The reason why many regard this as science fiction is that weve traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is uns

37、cientific.From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind of information-processing performed by elementary particles (基本粒子) moving around, and there is no law of physics that says one cant build machines more intelligent than us in all ways. This sugges

38、ts that weve only seen the tip of the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that is potential in nature and use it to help humanity.If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence

39、, amplifying (扩大) our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrows toughest problems. For example, why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for? Why not increase productivity through

40、automation and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable energy?Im optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our technology and the knowledge with which we manage it. But this requires giving up o

41、ur outdated concept of learning form mistakes. That helped us win the race with less powerful technology: We messed up with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器), and we messed up with cars and then invented seat belts. However, its an awful idea for more powerful technologies, such as nuc

42、lear weapons or super-intelligent AIwhere even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right the first time.32. How do many people feel about leading AI researchers predictions?A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.33. What does the author think of intelligence?A. W

43、e know little about it. B. It belongs to human beings.C. It is too difficult to understand. D. We have nothing more to discover.34. What does the underlined word “upside” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Cost. B. Advantage. C. Risk. D. Quantity.35. Whats important for us in the race between people an

44、d more powerful technology?A. Learning from failure. B. Being more optimistic.C. Increasing our intelligence. D.
