AI is a double-edged sword. It can help us, but also cause us harm. Who is using AI Is AI replacing humans What should we do to avoid the risks and dangers that AI might bring
Artificial intelligence is set to benefit mankind in many ways. It will make everyday tasks easier and bring efficiency to various industries. It might just prove to be one of man's greatest inventions.
And yet, like any other technology, ▲ . In February 2018, a group of AI experts got together to discuss the possible misuse of AI. What they found was that "Every AI advance by the good guys is an advance for the bad guys, too," according to Quartz.
Their biggest concern was that criminals (罪犯) could use AI for wrongful purposes. One of the areas they looked at was the use of AI to create websites that could be used to steal people's personal information. Another possibility is that AI programs could be taught to hack software and break into computer secure systems.
There are some other concerns as well. It is possible that AI could be used to create fake images and videos. Chinese tech giant Baidu, in fact, has developed a program called Deep Voice that can "clone" anyone's voice by studying a 3.7-second audio sample.
Many leading figures in the tech world have expressed concern about AI. People like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have called for the industry to be more strictly regulated, as there are few laws right now on the use of AI.
However, this is set to change. In March 2018, the European Union plans to set up a group that will discuss the moral and ethical dangers of advanced AI – and hopefully, suggest some regulations that will help us keep it safe for mankind.
16．Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 3
A．AI makes our life easier B．AI will also bring risks
C．AI is around us everyday D．AI beats human in many ways
17．Some experts have concerns about AI because ________.
A．it makes people lazier B．it is developing too fast
C．it will replace workers in the future D．some people may use it to do bad things
18．Deep Voice is mentioned to show ________.
A．how AI is developed B．what AI can do in the future
C．why Baidu is a tech giant D．how AI can copy voices
19．We can infer from the passage that _______.
A．there may be new laws to regulate the use of AI.
B．AI will bring more harm than benefit to mankind.
C．many AI programmers will become criminals.
D．there will only be fake news and videos online.
20．This passage is written mainly to ________.

Do you like the number 13 26 In the past, a lot of tall buildings didn’t have the 13th floor. 27 For example, the number “4” is said to be unlucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for “death”. But that’s just one example about numbers in China.
When I first came here, I was surprised to see that many websites had numbers in their names instead of letters. I soon found that this is actually convenient, as Chinese characters (汉字) cannot be used for website addresses.

In pinyin, the telecom company China Unicom is called Zhongguo Liantong. If the company used their pinyin name for their website address, it would be quite long. _29_
In addition, the pronunciations of some numbers sound similar to other words in Chinese. This is wordplay (双关语). For example, the numbers “5-2-0” in Chinese sound similar to the pronunciation of the Chinese phrase “I love you”. _30_

参考范文：
Technological inventions play an important role in our daily life. We benefit from them a lot and they are changing our life greatly.
Of hundreds of technological inventions, I like the high-speed train best.
The speed of the high-speed train is from 250km/h to 350 km/h. It means it only takes about 4 hours from Guangzhou to Wuhan, and we can arrive in Tianjin half an hour later from Beijing. It helps people spend less time on journey.
Moreover, it's comfortable to take the high-speed train because it moves smoothly, and passengers can do some reading and watch movies without any problem. We can not only enjoy the view out of the windows but also have a relaxing time on the train.
Many people choose to take the high-speed train because of the lower price than the plane. And it is very convenient. What a great creative product!
As a student, I will study harder to improve myself and make some contributions to our society in the future.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has a history of 2,000 years. During these 2,000 years lots of Mid-Autumn traditions have been thought up by Chinese people. All the celebrations show the happiness and excitement of people.
The main celebrations during the Mid-Autumn Festival are appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes together and making Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns. These three celebrations have been passed from generation to generation. Chinese people may think the Mid-Autumn Festival is not coming if they don't do these three things.
In some places in China people celebrate the festival in different ways. In Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, people eat taro(芋头) to celebrate the festival, because the taro harvest occurs at the same time as the festival. They eat taro and hope the harvest is good in the next year. In Nanjing, people cook duck with sweet-scented osmanthus (桂花) , because Nanjing people think sweet-scented osmanthus is a symbol of peace. In some places people make fires inside towers to celebrate the festival, because they think the fire is a symbol of good business.
In the literary history of China, many poets penned praise to the pure moon of mid-autumn night and gave words to their delicate feelings. The following is one of the best of those poems.
Thoughts in the Silent Night
-Li Bai
The moonlight is shining through the window,
And it makes me wonder if it is the frost on the ground,
Looking up to see the moon,
Looking down I miss so much about my hometown.
Li Bai used his lines to express his homesickness at the Moon Festival.
