21、The AI research arm of Alibaba created a machine learning model that received a higher score on the Stanford Question Answering Dataset than humans. The database consists of more than 100,000 questions to test reading comprehension.
In early January this year the Alibaba AI software machine scored 82.44 on the test while humans scored 82.304. Besides, computers and AI have already defeated humans, for example in games such as chess. However, it seemed that language skills were superior in humans as machines find languages hard to master.
A large number of call center employees, often in developing countries, may be out of work soon if the AI robots are cheaper and as effective as human labor. Soon when you phone a company for information the conversation will go like this: “ We are sorry but all our robots are busy right now. We value your call. Please stay on the line until a robot is free to serve you. There are just 12 callers ahead of you.” A robot will serve you some popular tunes while you wait.
Si Luo, who is a chief scientist of natural language processing at Alibaba’s AI research group noted that questions such as “What causes rain?” can now be answered with a high degree of accuracy by robots. Si Luo said, “ We believe the foundational technology can be gradually applied to a lot of applications such as customer service, museum tutorials, and online responses to inquiries from patients, freeing human efforts in a new way.”
Si Luo’s team is working closely with Ali Xiaomi, a mobile customer service chatbot. Ali Xiaomi can be customized to be used on Alibaba’s platforms such as Taobao and Tmall. The new AI robots could answer consumers’ questions as they did the Stanford questions. The robots would look for the answers from prepared information. However, there are limits to what the system will be able to do. If questions do not have clear-cut answers, or the questions asked are too unclear or ungrammatical, the robot may not be able to deal with them.
【1】What can we learn about the Alibaba AI software machine?
A．It has been tested in some areas.
B．It has become popular since January.
C．It has offered a special learning style.
D．It has made people interested in reading.
【2】What does the example in paragraph 3 show about the AI robots?
A．They should have better language skills.
B．They may replace humans in some fields.
C．They need to be customized to serve customers.
D．They will be widely used in developing countries.
【3】How does Si Luo feel about the foundational technology?
A．Doubtful.
B．Worried.
C．Curious.
D．Confident.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph about Ali Xiaomi?
A．It needs to improve in some ways.
B．It is connected with another system.
C．It is a platform to show good service.
D．It can answer any questions accordingly.

23、 It’s said that today more than $ 400 billion a year is spent on advertising worldwide. Beyond that the economic influence of advertising touches just about every consumer-product industry, from No wonder, it is widely recognized that the global economy is heavily being driven by advertisements.
A successful advertisement involves at least three things. The advertisers will first of all single out the market. That is, they need to determine who will buy the product. Then, they will work out the best way to appeal to this market. So they will take into consideration a number of desires or worries the market may have. Finally, they will design the advertising programme. That is, they will study what words and images their advertisement contains and what slogans（广告语）they plan to make use of. They will also consider employing famous people and using scientific data to support e product.
While in everyday life consumers have seen lots of successful examples of advertising like Nike, Coca-Cola, and McDonald’s, there are still some examples that do not reach the expected goal. One soap company had all its advertisements show dirty clothes on the left, its box of soap in the middle, and clean clothes on the right. Then it started its advertising programme in the Middle East. Unfortunately, since Arabic speakers read Arabic from the right to the left, many viewers when seeing the ad, thought to themselves, “Why, this soap makes clothes dirty!”
Therefore, advertisers have to be aware of cultural differences when they want to carry out international advertising programme in a foreign country. Study the cultural background of the customers, or ruin the advertising programme!

She is a teacher and principal of Huaping Girls High School in Lijiang City. The school, the first free high school in China, helps young girls from poverty-stricken families who are unable to continue their studies. In the past 12 years, Zhang has helped more than 1,600 girls achieve their university dreams.
Zhang moved to Lijiang at the age of 17 to teach in the middle school at Huaping county. A year later, she was diagnosed with a severe illness and had no money to pay for the surgery.

"I am very grateful to her. It was her persistence that gives us girls from the mountain the chance to go and see the word outside," said Yang Qian, a current college student who graduated from Zhang's school.

Paul and I met as medical students at Yale. I fell in love with him as I watched the ________he took with his patients. He later told me he fell in love with me when he saw me ________ over an EKG(心电图) of a heart that had ________ beating. We didn’t know it yet, but we were learning how to ________ suffering together.
