24、 Zheng He was an amazing man. He was born in 1371. Eleven years later, he was caught by the army of a rich young man called Zhu Di and made to work for him. Over time the rich man saw that Zheng He was very clever and strong and they became close friends. In 1403, Zhu Di was made the King of China and he asked Zheng He to join his government.
The King wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. A few people think his ships have even reached South America and Australia.
Each trip lasted between two and four years and it is believed that he sailed more than 50 000 kilometers during the years of his travels. Zheng He led a fleet with 28 000 men and over 300 ships, such as boats for food, water and even soldiers’ horses.
On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and treasures, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.
lt is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He’s travels. Zheng He died in 1433. After that, the new king, had these trips stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He’s travels, because he believed the trips were unlucky and too expensive. However, more and more historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of great Zheng He.

27、 Do you think robots could pass an eighth-grade test? Guess what—they can.
The artificial intelligence (AI) system Aristo recently passed the same eighth-grade science test that some US students take. The New York Times reported. Aristo correctly(正确地) answered 90 percent of the questions on the test.
This is an example of the progress that is being made in AI development. Four years ago, 700 computer scientists tried to develop AI systems that could pass these kinds of exams. None scored higher than 60 percent.
Scientists at the Allen Institute in the US developed the system. Aristo was able to pass the exam because it can not only understand language, but also use logical thinking(逻辑思维)to solve difficult problems. For example, it can understand what a forest fire is and how it could affect(影响) animals.
The system used BERT, a kind of neural(神经的) network technology developed by Google, to answer the questions. BERT has "read" thousands of articles and can understand English. If it looks at a sentence with a missing word, it can correctly guess what the word is. With BERT's help, Aristo "read" many multiple-choice(多选的) questions. Over time, it was able to find logical patterns(逻辑模式).
Aristo’s success means that we might see new AI-based products(人工智能产品), such as search engines(搜索引擎) and databases(数据库) for hospitals. AI systems might be able to better understand users in the future.
【1】What did the AI system Aristo do?
A.Help students study. B.Pass a school test.
C.Talk like a human does. D.Develop other AI systems.
【2】What was Aristo's biggest success?
A.It passed several kinds of tests. B.It passed the test with a full score.
C.It scored 90 percent on the test. D.It worked out a set of test questions.
【3】How did Aristo answer questions in the test?
A.By using BERT. B.By asking Google for help.
C.By working with scientists. D.By copying the students' answers.
【4】Paragraph 5 is written to________.
A.explain how Aristo worked B.show what else Aristo can do
C.show how Aristo was created D.describe another AI breakthrough
【5】From the story, we can learn that________.
A.AI-based products are not useful B.AI systems might be used in many fields
C.robots can't think logically D.Aristo will be used to help teach students
28、 Fill in the blanks with the first letter given from the context.
Since last year, city streets around China have seen colorful shared bikes, which people can r【1】 with a smartphone app and park wherever they choose. To r【2】 traffic jams and air pollution, many cities have offered bike-sharing, but sometimes dreams can turn sour.
As shared bikes become more popular, problems keep showing up. According to news reports, shared bikes are b【3】 treated(对待)by users. When people are using the bike, some of them just throw it onto streets and even into ditches. Recently, a man in Shanghai was f【4】 1,000 yuan for stealing a shared bike.
At the same time, the d【5】 to the QR codes on bikes has brought huge losses to bike-sharing companies, like Mobikes. If the QR-code is damaged, the bike cannot be used any more. It can cost several hundred yuan for the company workers to find a lost bike and get it r【6】.
Mobike has credit(信用) scores for each u【7】. Punishment(处罚) will be taken in case of users' bad behavior. Bike rental will go up to five yuan per minute if the score f【8】 to below 80.
However, punishment may not be the b【9】 way to stop shared bikes from being stolen or damaged. Bike-sharing services will work well only if people follow the rules and show r【10】 for the bikes and others.
