Where is the passage most probably taken from a news paper?A. economy B. entertainment C. sports D. scienceCWhen I was a young girl living in Ireland, I was always pleased when

28、it rained, because that meant I could go treasure hunting. As all of Ireland knows, treasure is hidden at the end of the rainbow. If you can discover the end of the rainbow, gold will be brought to you. So whenever it rained, I would look up in the sky and follow the curve of the rainbow to see wher

29、e it ended. I never did unearth any treasure.As I got older, and started working, rainy days came to be just another hateful thing and my childhood dreams of finding treasure faded. But for a fortunate few, the dream even comes true! Such is the case of Mel Fisher. His dream of finding treasure also

30、 began in childhood, while reading the great literature classics “Treasure Island” and “Moby Dick”. However, unlike me, he chased his dream and eventually managed to become one of the most famous professional treasure hunters of all time, and for good reason.

31、s of the sunken Spanish ship Atocha, which brought him an unbelievable $400 million dollars!After the ship sank in 1622 off the coast of Florida, Fisher, who ran a commercial rescue operation, was trying to locate the underwater treasure for over 16 years when he finally hit the jackpot! But finding

32、 and keeping the treasure wasnt all plain sailing. After battling with terrible conditions at sea, Fisher then had to battle in the courts. In fact, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his yearly findings

33、for public display, and so now there is a museum in Florida which displays hundreds of the objects which were saved from the Atocha.Archaeologists(考古学家) object to the fact that with commercial rescue operations like Fishers, the objects are sold and dispersed and UNESCO are worried about protecting

34、our underwater treasure from what it describes as “robbery”. The counter-argument is that in professional, well-run operations such as Fishers, each piece is accurately and minutely recorded and that it is this information which is more important than the actual object, and that such operations help

35、 increase our wealth of archaeological knowledge. Indeed, as in Fishers case, they make history more accessible to people through museum donations and information on websites.29.

Of those, 139 were selected for the collection, titled “Sunshine Misses Windows.” The book has 10 chapters, each highlighting a human emotion such as loneliness, anticipation or joy.

40、 The AI previously studied all the modern poems of some 519 poets dating as far back as the 1920s. For a human writer to go through such intensive preparation and study, it would take about 100 years.Since February, the AI has been publishing its poems on several online forums under 27 aliases(化名).

41、Few people have guessed that the words were written by a robot.“Every time it sees a picture, it gets inspired and creates modern poems. The process is basically the same as for a real poet,” said Dong Huan, chief producer of the book. Dong added that the collection kept all the original wording, in

42、cluding small errors produced by Xiaoice, Yangtze Evening News reported.“It may lag behind in some ways, the same as any inexperienced poet. Some poems may even sound repetitive.

83、 living room. I listened carefully. I could hear two men speaking quietly.I believed two burglars had broken into my house and I was really frightened, so I went back upstairs, and immediately phoned the police from my bedroom. The police arrived quickly. They opened the front door with a special key and went into the living room. You can imagine how embarrassed I was when they came upstairs and told me they had turned the television off for me and everything was all right.
