Street Art Camp.BThis little South American Magellanic penguin swims 5,000 miles, to a beach in Brazil, every year in order to be reunited with the man who saved its

16、 life. It sounds like something out of a fairy tale, but its true!The 71-year-old retired bricklayer Joao, who lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, found the small Magellanic penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in 2011.The penguin was covered in oil and running out o

17、f time fast. Joao rescued the penguin, naming it Din Din, cleaned the oil off its feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to rebuild its strength. After a week of recovery, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the wild. However, Din Din had already formed a family bond with his rescuer

18、and wouldnt leave.“He stayed with me for 11 months and then, just after he changed his coat with new feathers, he disappeared, ”Joao recalls.“I love the penguin like its my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,” Joao told Globo. “No one else is allowed to touch him. He pecks (啄) them if they

19、 do. He lies on my lap, lets me give him showers, and allows me to feed him.”Professor Krajewski, a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo, told The Independent, “I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as

20、 well.”However, environmentalists warn that, while hundreds of the Magellanic species are known to naturally migrate thousands of miles north in search of food, there has been a worrying rise in the phenomenon of oceanic creatures washed up on Brazils beaches. Professor David Zee, from Rio de Janeir

21、os State University, said the increase is due in part to global climatic changes. Professor Zee added that sea animals face increased danger from leaked tanker oil.Luckily the ending for Joao and Din Din has been a happy one, even though it is illegal in Brazil to keep wild animals as pets.Professor

22、 Krajewski said, “Professionals who work with animals try to avoid relationships like this occurring so they are able to reintroduce the animals into the wild. But in this single case the authorities allowed Din Din to stay with Joao because of his kindness.”24. Every year Din Din swims a long dista

25、 environmental impact on wildlifeB. the love between humans and wildlifeC. the tendency of wildlife to bond with humansD. the protection of threatened wildlife by mankindCHave you ever got stuck with unwanted courses or a class schedule that cannot be changed? If so, thats because you dont know how

26、to select the perfect schedule. But by following a few simple steps, you can begin any term with the right courses at the most convenient times.First, you must find the right courses. These are the ones that have the least amount of work, the fewest tests and the kindest professors. Ask your friends

27、 about courses in which they received As after attending only 70 percent of the classes. Ask around, too, to see which instructors have given the same tests for the last fifteen years. Photocopies of these tests are usually cheap and can be easily found in school. Then, pick up a copy of the master

28、schedule and study it carefully. Find the course titles that mean an easy pass for a painless subject. Look for titles like “Arts and Crafts for Beginners,” and “Rock Music of the 1950s.”Next, when you have got lists of easy instructors and subjects, you can begin to select your time periods. If you

29、 stay up late in order to watch old movies, you may want a daily schedule that begins no sooner than noon. You should schedule only afternoon courses, too, if youre one of those people who hate to leave a warm bed in the morning. On the other hand, if you are a person who gets out of bed at dawn, yo

30、u may want to get your classes out of the way as early as possible. That way you have the rest of the day free. Morning classes are also necessary if you are a soap opera（肥皂剧）fan.Finally, you want your schedule to pass through registration successfully. The main way to do this is to register （注册） ea

31、rly. If a course does happen to be closed because you simply couldnt register at 7 00 a.m., you may still be able to get in. Talk to the professor and tell him or her that a serious and hardworking student like yourself would be a shining example to other students. Be sure to carry a list of backup

32、courses to registration, though, just in case one of your chosen classes changes professors or time periods.By following these suggestions, any student can pick the perfect class schedule. College can thus be an almost pleasant activity. 28. Which of the following statements is true?A. You can get c

33、opies of tests if you are willing to pay the price.B. “Rock Music of the 1950s” may be an easy course.C. It is difficult to pick the perfect class schedule.D. Attendance is required in all classes.29. You should _.A. register for classes in the morning if you get up earlyB. have classes late in the

34、morning if you stay up lateC. sign up for afternoon classes if you want to see soap operasD. choose classes in the evening if you want to watch old films30. If a course happens to be closed, you should _.A. register at 7:00 a.m.B. sit in on the class anywayC. register for a back-up courseD. get help

35、 from the professor31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Course Registration Made EasyB. How to Find the Right CoursesC. Classes and After-class ActivitiesD. How to Pick the Perfect Schedule DThe AlphaGo programs victory is an example of how smart computers have becom

36、e. But can artificial intelligence (AI) machines act ethically (合乎道德地), meaning can they be honest and fair?One example of AI is driverless cars. They are already on California roads, so it is not too soon to ask whether we can program a machine to act ethically. As driverless cars improve, they wil

37、l save lives. They will make fewer mistakes than human drivers do. Sometimes, however, they will face a choice between lives. Should the cars be programmed to make a sudden turn to avoid hitting a child ? What if the only risk is damage to the car itself, not to the passengers?Perhaps there will be

38、lessons to learn from driverless cars, but they are not super-intelligent beings.Teaching ethics to a machine even more intelligent than we are will be the bigger challenge.About the same time as AlphaGos victory, Microsofts chatbot took a bad turn. The software, named Taylor, was designed to answer

39、 messages from people aged 18-24. Taylor was supposed to be able to learn from the messages she received. She was designed to slowly improve her ability to handle conversations, but some people were teaching Taylor racist ideas. When she started saying nice things about Hitler, Microsoft turned her

40、off and deleted her ugliest messages.AlphaGos victory and Taylors defeat happened at about the same time. This should be a warning to us. It is one thing to use AI within a game with clear rules and clear goals. It is something very different to use AI in the real world.Eric Schmidt is one of the bo

41、sses of Google, which owns AlphoGo. He said people will be the winner, whatever the outcome. Advances in AI will make human beings smarter, more able and “just better human beings.”32. Whats the second paragraph mainly about ?A. Whether AI machines are capable to predict possible risks.B. What AI ma

42、chines will do to save human lives.C. Whether AI machines can make ethical decisions.D.

43、ent on AI machines.C. How to ensure that super-intelligent AI machines act ethically.D. How to make super-intelligent AI machines share human feelings.34.

44、t made to handle new situations. D. She was good at performing routine tasks.35. What is Eric Schmidts attitude towards artificial intelligence?A. negative.B.unconcerned.C. positive.D. doubtful. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。World Wildlife DayCelebrated annually o
