19．If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It's nothing personal．Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art，history and philosophy（哲學(xué)）．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well．
Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is．
25．The opening paragraph is mainly intended toA．
A．a(chǎn)ttract the readers'interest in the subject
B．provide some key facts about Confucius
C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
26．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American studentsC．
A．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
B．take an active part in Chinese competitions
C．have a great interest in studying Chinese
D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
27．What is the best title for the passage？D
A．Forgotten Wisdom in America
B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C．Chinese Culture for Westerners
D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
28．The passage is likely to appear inC．
A．a(chǎn) biography               B．a(chǎn) history paper
C．a(chǎn) newspaper               D．a(chǎn) philosophy textbook．

分析 本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道．本文主要講述了外國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)文化的興趣越來(lái)越濃，對(duì)于孔子的思想也越來(lái)越感興趣這一社會(huì)現(xiàn)象．孔子思想已經(jīng)深入西方，成為西方人深入了解中國(guó)人的一座橋梁．美國(guó)學(xué)生對(duì)漢語(yǔ)產(chǎn)生了濃厚興趣，這就需要更多的老師傳播孔子思想和中國(guó)文化．

解答 ACDC
25  A  作者意圖題．根據(jù)文章第一段"If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．He'd need a fan or a b wind to help him put them out．"可知文章開篇做了一個(gè)有趣的設(shè)想，假如孔子活到現(xiàn)在，給他過(guò)生日，需用扇子或大風(fēng)幫他熄滅生日蛋糕上的蠟燭，目的是吸引讀者，引起讀者興趣．引起本文要討論的真正話題，故答案A正確．
26  C  推理判斷題．根據(jù)"Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．"說(shuō)明中國(guó)對(duì)每個(gè)人有很強(qiáng)的吸引力，很多美國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)都很感興趣，故答案C正確．
27  D．主旨大意題．本文主要講述的正是中國(guó)越來(lái)越引起世界的關(guān)注，同樣，中國(guó)的文化也引起了世界人民的興趣，很多人都開始了解中國(guó)的文化，這給孔子這位中國(guó)的思想家?guī)?lái)了新生，A項(xiàng)與文章內(nèi)容矛盾；C和D項(xiàng)太片面．故答案D正確．
28  C．推理判斷題．本文主要講述了外國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)文化的興趣越來(lái)越濃，對(duì)于孔子的思想也越來(lái)越感興趣這一社會(huì)現(xiàn)象，那么很有可能是新聞報(bào)道的內(nèi)容，文章新穎有時(shí)效性，所以選C．A項(xiàng)指?jìng)饔�，詳�?xì)描述人物的生平；B項(xiàng)指歷史論文，用詞要術(shù)語(yǔ)化；D項(xiàng)指哲學(xué)課本，應(yīng)著重哲學(xué)概念和思想．故答案C正確．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問(wèn)題回到原文，尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案，最后要理清作者寫作思路．

3．"There are many ways of being smart that aren't smart like us．"These are the words of Patrick Winston，a leading voice in the field of artificial intelligence．Although his idea is simple，its significance has been lost on most people thinking about the future of work．Yet this is the feature of Al that ought to preoccupy us the most．
   From the 1950s to the 1980s．it was generally thought that the best way to build systems capable of performing tasks to the level of human experts or higher was to copy the way that experts worked．But there was a problem：human experts often struggled to explain how they performed many tasks．Chess-playing was a good example．When asked to explain how they played chess well，some grandmasters appealed to"intuition"（真愛(ài)），others to"experience"．Many said they did not really know at all．How could researchers build a chess-playing system to beat a grandmaster if the best players themselves could not explain how they were so good？
  A turning point came in 1997．Deep Blue，IBM's supercomputer，beat Garry Kasparov，the ihen world chess champion，in a six-game match．What was most remarkable was how the system did it．Deep Blue did not share Mr Kasparov's"intuition"or"experience"．It won by means of absolute processing power and massive data storage ability．
  Consider the legal world．Daniel Martin Katz，a law professor，has designed a system to predict the voting behaviour of the US Supreme Court．It can perform as well as most specialists，but it does not mirror the judgement of a human being．Instead it draws on data that capture six decades of Court behaviour．
  We see similiar developments in other parts of life．Surely，all these point to a future that is very different from the one most experts are predicting．It is often said that there are many tasks that will always require human beings to perform because machines cannot"think"，"reason"or"feel"like human beings．But this is to fail to grasp that tomorrow's systems will handle many tasks not by copying us but by working in entirely different，unhuman ways．The set of tasks reserved particularly for human beings is likely to be much smaller than many expect．

46．The example of chess-playing mainly shows thatC．
A．it's important for a chess-playing system to beat a grandmaster
B．human experts nave various responses for their good performance
C．it's difficult to build systems by copying the way human experts work
D．the way human experts work can be of great benefit to building systems
47．According to the passage，what's the reason for Deep Blue's success over Garry？D
A．It shared Garry's intuition and experience．
B．It's designed to think like a human expert．
C．Garry was not able enough lo beat supercomputer．
D．It was equipped with a powerful data processing system．
4S．What's ihe author's purpose of writing Paragraph 4？B
A．To present more details．
B．To offer another example．
C．To give further explanation．
D．To share deeper understanding．
49．Which of the following best shows ihe structure of the passage？C
A．①②③--④⑤
B．①②--③④--⑤
C．①--②③④--⑤
D．①--②③--④⑤
50．What can we infer from the last paragraph？B
A．Systems are expected to be more humanlike．
B．More tasks are likely to be handled by systems．
C．Human beings are certain to be replaced by systems．
D．Tasks tomorrow are supposed to be more demanding．

11．How to be a good tourist
We travel for work but also for fun and learning．New restaurants，galleries，temples and new architecture…These places are homes for people like us who live and work there．How would you want visitors to behave in your own home？Think about it．（36）DThere are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday．
Do your homework．（37）AGuides will help you when you get to site，but is that the best place to go？Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit？You'd better check it out．

Help preserve the sites．Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year，so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well．Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows．（39）FThis way，you don't encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites．
And here's the big one-good manners are nearly universal．（40）C If that doesn't sound like you，then give the world a break and stay home．

B．We've cleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories．
