11．The defeat of Lee Sedol，the world's strongest Go （圍棋） player，by a Google artificial intelligence （AI） program，looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can．It is not．There are uncountable things that only a human can do，and that no computer seems close to．The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone．The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic．But even the most powerful programs are not human，just as a shovel （鏟車）．They have no feelings．What they have is power，but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us a ll．
It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent，but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians （火星人）．Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development，and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world．It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass （以金錢來衡量的） society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted．
One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is，at the same time，the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity．If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour，it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way．So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated （自動(dòng)化）．And robots will never need pensions．AI is slowly reducing skilled work，like some forms of medical diagnosis，at the same time，as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training．The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own．
But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers．
51．By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol，the author intends to tell us thatC．
A．computers can completely replace humans in everything
B．humans are of no practical economic values to the society
C．the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate
D．AI programs can not compare with humans economically 
52．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers willD．
A．improve the quality of human life
B．promote equality at work places
C．make contributions to human development
D．widen the gap between the rich and the poor
53．What does"artificial stupidity"in Paragraph 3 mean？B
A．Unskilled workers become stupid．
B．AI discourages skilled work．
C．Computers don't need pensions．
D．AI is ruining medical training．
54．What is the author's attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence？C
A．Optimistic．
B．Supportive．
C．Skeptical．
D．Disappointed．

16．Silence is unnatural to man．He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness．In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world，and he fears silence more than anything else．Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence．If he is introduced to another person，and a number of pauses occur in the conversation，he regards himself as a failure，a worthless person，and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox（喋喋不休嘮叨的人）．He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly，but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蠟像）．
The aim of conversation is not，for the most part，to communicate ideas；it is to keep up the buzzing sound．There are，it must be admitted，different qualities of buzz；there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito．But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person．Most buzzing，fortunately，is pleasant to the ear，and some of it is pleasant even to the mind．He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors．
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk．Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new．Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears，though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel．At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time，they just prove themselves to be successful conversationists．
56．According to the author，people make conversation toD．
A．exchange ideas
B．prove their value
C．a(chǎn)chieve success in life
D．overcome their fear of silence
57．By"the buzzing of a fly"（Para.1），the author meansC．
A．the noise of an insect
B．a(chǎn) low whispering sound
C．meaningless talks
D．the voice of a chatterbox
58．According to the passage，people usually talk to their neighborsB．
A．a(chǎn)bout whatever they have prepared
B．a(chǎn)bout whatever they want to
C．in the hope of learning something new
D．in the hope of getting on well．

10．When Luke went to university he thought he would be starting a new journey in life and getting his own place．In the UK，it's common to fly the nest at a fairly young age．Many choose a flatshare； others make plans to get on the property ladder．
But the current economic situation forced Luke back to his mum's house at the age of 27．And he's not alone：a quarter of young adults in the UK now live with their parents．The Office for National Statistics said more than 3.3million adults between the ages of 20and 34were living with their parents in 2013．
Lack of jobs and the high cost of renting accommodation made Luke change his plans．He's frustrated："There's something very difficult about being an adult living in an environment where you're still a child，"he says．"It limits me socially； sometimes I feel it limits me professionally．"
Indeed，many young people have no choice but to stay at‘the hotel of Mum and Dad'．
Krissy had to return home after a year away and now lives in rather cramped conditions，sharing the family's three-bedroom house with her siblings．She saysthey end up getting on each other's nerves  when it's time to use the bathroom in the morning．
Of course，residing with your parents is not unusual in some countries．Economic conditions，culture，or family traditions mean many young people stay at home until they get married．Even then，it can be too expensive to rent or buy a house and the married couple continue to live at one of their parents'homes．
But some parents seem to enjoy having their kids back at home．Janice's daughters are part of what's being called‘the boomerang generation'．She says："I get to share their lives with them，and I've got to know them all as adults．We have the sort of conversations that good friends do．"So for some it's a win-win situation-spending time with your families，and saving money．
24．How is the passage developed？B
A．By listing figures．
B．By offering examples．
C．By analyzing causes．
D．By making comparisons．
25．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．All the parents enjoy living with their children
B．Living with parents is common in some countries
C．The author approves of children's living with parents
D．Janice belongs to a group called"the boomerang generation"
26．What does the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph？C
A．They shout at each other angrily．
B．They get on very well with each other．
C．They finally make each other annoyed．
D．They are unwilling to sharing with each other．
27．What is the purpose of the passage？B
A．To persuade children into living on their own after getting married．
B．To show the present situation of young people living with their parents．
C．To compare the advantages and disadvantages of living with parents．
D．To solve the problems young adults may face after going to university．
