19、here lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements.He told the BBCwhat he had observed.第 4 页 共 8 页He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift,you can do whatever you want itsyour own little box.If there are two of you,you go into different corners,standing diagonally(对角

20、线地)acrossfrom each other to create distance.When a third person enters,you will unconsciously form a triangle.And when there is a fourthperson it becomes a square,with someone in every corner.A fifth person is probably going to haveto stand in the middle.New entrants to the lift will need to judge t

21、he situation when the doors slide open and then actdecisively.Once in,for most people the rule is simple look down,or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You dont have enough space,”Professor Babette Renneberg,a clinical psychologist at theFree University of Berlin,told the BBC.“Usual

22、ly when we meet other people we have about anarms length of distance between us.And thats not possible in most elevators.”In such a small,enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot berecognized as threatening or odd.“The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,”24.Wh

27、er bin bags,the shops were emptied of their umbrellas and raincoats within seconds,and I found myselfsoaked(浸透)from head to feet,my poorly-chosen skirt and T-shirt now totally see-through.This would never have happened in Britain.For one thing,during my year in Beijing,it only really rained about 10

28、 times.But althoughwe never get a Beijing-style washout in London,the drizzle(毛毛雨)that does fall is all but第 5 页 共 8 页constant.Even when the sky is perfectly blue,you can be sure its going to cloud over and startdrizzling again within an hour.And when it does,there is chaos.Trains stop,drains block,

29、and buses break down as if thiswas the first time the local authorities have seen this wet stuff coming out of the clouds.So as with so many things in the UK its up to ordinary people to sort themselves out.Noself-respecting Briton will ever leave home without his“brolly”as the umbrella is lovely kn

35、he top human players.Now an AI system has been tasked with passing a multiple-choice(多项选择)exam.Thegoal is to improve machines language understanding and logic(逻辑).A system named Aristowas developed by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence,a lab in the United States city ofSeattle.It recent

36、ly passed an eighth-grade science exam taken by many US students,The NewYork Times reported.It correctly answered more than 90 percent of the questions.Then it wasgiven a twelfth-grade exam.It scored more than 80 percent.Its an example of the progress in AI development.Four years ago,700 computer sc

37、ientiststried to develop AI systems that could pass these kinds of exams.None scored higher than 60percent.Aristo was able to pass the exams because it can not only understand language but also uselogical thinking to solve difficult problems.For example,it can understand what a forest fire isand how

38、 it could endanger animals like squirrels decrease the food supply they need.The system uses BERT,a kind of neural(神经的)network technology developed by Google,to answer the questions.BERT has“read”thousands of English articles.If it looks at a sentencewith a missing word,it can correctly guess what t

39、he word is.With BERTs help,Aristo“read”many multiple-choice questions and answers.Over time,it was able to find logical patterns on itsown.第 6 页 共 8 页It may still be in the earliest stages,said Jingjing Liu,a Microsoft researcher who has beenworking on similar technologies.“We cant compare this tech

40、nology to real human students andtheir ability to reason.”However,Aristos success means that AI systems are getting better at understanding users,and we might see improved search engines and hospital databases in the near future.32.What can we know about Aristo from its exam result?A.It was smarter

41、than most US students.B.It could only deal with science questions.C.It was best at understanding English.D.It did better than other AIs in similar tasks.33.What does the third-to-last paragraphs talk about?A.How Aristo teaches itself.B.How Aristo reads English articles.C.How Google developed BERT.D.

44、ounced that the country will move its capital from Jakarta,on the island of Java,toKalimantan,on the island of Borneo.This is a big new for Indonesia.Indeed,it would be for anycountry.The word“capital”comes from the Latin word“caput”,means“head”.Government institutions(机构),such as legislative(立法)and

45、 judicial(司法)bodies,are located in capital cities.37In English-language news reports,when you read“relations between Beijing and Moscow”,itactually means“relations between the Chinese and Russian governments”.38In manycountries,the capital is the richest city.This is because when a city becomes a ma

46、jor business center,it takes a more important place on the world stage.London,for example,has been the economiccenter of Britain for nearly 2,000 years,so its naturally been the capital for much of that time.39Brazils capital used to be Rio de Janeiro,a coastal city.Later the capital moved tothe inl
