22、Some people will say that you can place a value on anything. We may know the price of milk. We can also find out the value of the most expensive building in the world. Do you think it is possible to put a price on the Earth or other planets?
You probably think this is impossible. Scientist Greg Laughlin thought differently. In March 2009, NASA sent the Kepler telescope (望远镜) into space to explore the Milky Way galaxy and to find Earth-sized planets orbiting (环绕) other stars. As there are billions of stars within the Milky Way, it could mean there were several thousand planets to discover. How could scientists decide which ones to study further and which ones to take no notice of?
Professor Laughlin used information received from the Kepler telescope to create a formula (公式) that puts a price on planets. The age and size of each planet, its temperature, and the energy (能量) it created were considered. Older planets were given a higher value. The most important consideration was whether or not it may be possible for life to live on the planet.
By using his formula, Professor Laughlin found that planet Earth was the most important. He gave it a value of five quadrillion (千的五次幂) dollars. Mars was given a value of US$16,500 and Venus was valued at zero. That’s because it’s impossible to support life on Venus because it is too close to the Sun. The professor said that any planet that had a value of more than US$100 million was worth studying further.
By November 2018, about 1,200 planets in total had been looked at. Most of them were worthless because of their unsatisfactory conditions. So should you run to the bank and borrow US$16,500 so you can buy Mars? Maybe not today. You should just enjoy the five quadrillion dollar planet you already live on — and learn how to look after it.
【1】What purpose does the first paragraph serve?
A．To describe the prices of different things.
B．To bring up the topic of values of planets.
C．To introduce a scientific question.
D．To show a research result.
【2】What part of Laughlin’s formula carries the most value?
A．A planet’s temperature.
B．A planet’s age and size.
C．The amount of energy a planet creates.
D．The possibility for life to live on a planet.
【3】What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Venus was valueless.
B．Venus is too close to the Sun.
C．Mars was much cheaper than Earth.
D．A planet was usually valued at over US$100 million.
【4】What does the writer expect people to do in the last paragraph?
A．To study space science.
B．To protect and love Earth.
C．To save money to travel in space.
D．To support scientific organizations.
23、Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists:
Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.
Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.
Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.
【1】What is Scientist B worried about?
A. AI technology will destroy the earth. B. Robots will take the place of humans.
C. Computers can’t think by themselves. D. Humans will be unhappy without machines.
【2】What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
B. We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.
C. “Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.
D. “Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves.
【3】Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?
A. The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.
B. Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.
C. “Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.
D. All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.
【4】Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?
A. Scientist A. B. Scientists B & C.
C. Scientist B. D. Scientists B & A.
24、Ask an art historian about 15th-century Italian art and they’ll probably bring up Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera, Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper or the early career works of Michelangelo. Meanwhile, assessments of the Florentine sculptor Donatello often pale in comparison with praise of his superstar contemporaries. Donatello deserves better, argues an ambitious new exhibition. On view through July 31 at two museums in Florence, Italy, “Donatello: The Renaissance” tries to place the sculptor at the center of the era, writes reporter Elisabetta Povoledo for The NewYork Times.
“This is an extremely unusual exhibit, since Donatello is a father of the Renaissance,” Donatello scholar Francesco Caglioti tells The Times. Arturo Galansino, director of the Palazzo Strozzi, takes the argument one step further, telling The Wall Street Journal’s J. S. Marcus that the exhibition identifies Donatello as “the inventor of the Renaissance.”
Donatello’s masterpieces we repaired with works by Filippo Brunelleschi, Giovanni Bellini, Michelangelo and Raphael to showcase his significant impact on generations of Italian artists. “Some exhibitions are once in a lifetime, but this show is the first time in history,” said Galansino earlier this month.
While some people think of Michelangelo’s marble (大理石) David (1501―1504) as an incomparable work, Donatello actually sculpted one of the statue’s key inspirations: a bronze (青铜) David. Created between 1435 and 1450, likely for the Medici family, the sculpture was conceived (构思) independently of any architectural surroundings. Scholars, therefore, consider Donatello’s David the first of such a style in Renaissance history.
Besides, Donatello’s Madonna influenced similar works by Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Just as Donatello has been relatively overlooked in favor of his contemporaries, Gentileschi and a handful of other Renaissance women artists are just starting to get their due—a trend evidenced by a recent exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
“Donatello: The Renaissanc” follows the artist’s life and work, moving through his early years in his native city and a long-term residency in Padua. By the end of his life, Donatello’s work was primarily financed by the powerful Medici family.
【1】What does the new exhibition intend to do?
A．Restress Leonardo da Vinci’s achievements.
B．Retell the stories of artists in the Renaissance.
C．Rediscover Italian art in the contemporary context.
D．Rethink the key role Donatello played in his time.
【2】What does Galansino say about the exhibition?
A．It is historically significant.
B．It is more comprehensive than others.
C．It has met with lots of criticism.
D．It has presented a completely new art form.
【3】What can be inferred about the bronze David?
A．It disappointed the Medici family.
B．It was a copy of the marble David
C．It was created two hundred years ago.
D．It inspired Michelangelo to some extent.
【4】What do the underlined words “get their due” mean in paragraph 5?
A．Fall into disfavor.
B．Receive recognition.
C．Reshape their styles.
D．Suffer discrimination.
