Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried about making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon,Va.—especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother,Divya Gupta had a suggestion:write an app.She was half-kidding,but Medha didn’t take the challenge lightly.So she set out to work.
The result was Safe Travel,an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when they are travelling alone.Using the iPhone,a person can program it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first iOS app that Medha had created.While she didn’t think much would come from the project,her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App Challenge,who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s 10th District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science,technology,engineering,and math by experimenting with coding and computer science.Winning students are invited to attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design,program and test the app.As for her next app Medha’s not certain.She temporarily has her app-development ambitions on hold because she’s busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on social media platforms.Yes,she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing.But she figures it can’t hurt her own part,too.
“If we see something wrong with the world,we should do something about it,” she said.“After all,the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves.”
1.Why did Medha Gupta feel worried
A.It took a long time to walk home.
B.It was difficult to write an app.
C.It was colder than ever in winter.
D.It was unsafe to walk home alone.
2.What is Medha’s attitude to the challenge of writing an app
A.Serious. B.Casual.
C.Uncertain. D.Indifferent.
3.What does the underlined phrase “on hold” in paragraph 6 mean
A.Developed. B.Delayed.
C.Achieved. D.Satisfied.

A couple of years ago,Ashok Goel was overwhelmed by the number of questions his students were asking in his course on artificial intelligence.Goel teaches computer science at Georgia Tech,sometimes to large classes,where students can ask thousands of questions online in a discussion forum.Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants,but that wasn’t enough to deal with the increasing number of daily questions from students.
When students feel confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered,their motivation to continue begins to fade.Professor Goel decided to do something to improve this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson,which is based on the IBM Watson platform.
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums.At first,the virtual assistant wasn’t too great.But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40,000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched.Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers.After some adjustments and enough time,Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time.The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer.The students,who were studying artificial intelligence,were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being.Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26.The students were actually very positive about the experience.
The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions presented by students on the online forum.The name Jill Watson will,of course,change to something else next semester.Professor Goel has a rosy outlook on the future of artificial intelligence,believing it will be widely applied.
4.What did Professor Goel find in the online course
A.The course was too difficult for students.
B.Most students dropped out of his course.
C.Students’ questions were too many to handle.
D.Assistants’ capacity made students unsatisfied.
5.What can be inferred about Jill Watson
A.She was easily identified as an AI.
B.She turned out to be a great success.
C.She was released online as the first version.
D.She could answer all the questions correctly.
6.Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “rosy” in paragraph 4
A.Hopeful. B.Sensitive.
C.Adventurous. D.Cautious.
7.What is the main idea of the text
A.An online computer course benefits students.
B.An AI team develops online discussion forums.
C.A knowledgeable AI assists in online education.
D.A new outlook promises online AI development.

Procrastination(拖延症) Tech Support
Choosing between immediate satisfaction and future benefit can easily lead to short-sighted decisions:Watching TV instead of going to the gym,for example,or going through social media rather than working on a challenging project. 1
To guide individuals towards greatest choices,Falk Lieder,a cognitive scientist,and his colleagues designed a digital tool called a “cognitive prosthesis”.It uses artificial intelligence to match a decision’s immediate reward with its long-term worth after making a to-do list.The researchers developed a set of models and algorithms(算法) that consider various elements such as a list of tasks,an individual’s unwillingness to each and the amount of time available. 2 It helps to encourage that person to complete them all.
The idea was to turn the challenging projects that people pursue in the real world into a game like environment.“The point system gives people achievable goals that signal that they’re making progress,” Lieder says.
3 The results,published online in August in Nature Human Behavior,revealed that the AI support system helped people make better,faster decisions and procrastinate less—and it made them more likely to complete all the assigned tasks.In one experiment,in which the researchers presented 120 participants with a list of several writing assignments, 4 However,the rate was only 56 percent for those not using it.
Lieder says one of the current tool’s limitations is that it can handle only short to-do lists. 5 At the same time,they are working with a company called Complice to integrate the tool into an existing to-do list app.The researchers also plan to run field experiments to see how well their cognitive prosthesis succeeds in the real world.
A.People often struggle to do what’s best for them in the long run.
B.The team tested this tool in a series of experiments with human subjects.
C.The system then assigns reward points to each task in a way that is customized.
D.And now,he and his team are trying to develop it up for a larger number of tasks.
E.they found that 85 percent of individuals who used the tool completed all their tasks.
F.A study was conducted to find a way to help people increase their decision-making ability.
G.this tool is a convincing demonstration that procrastination is something that this strategy can help with quite a lot.

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David,Mother May and elder brother Rob.The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature.The village was at the foot of a mountain,with beautiful views of the snowy mountain.The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees.Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life,Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village.She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life.She wanted to shop,move around the city,watch movies,and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes,etc.
However,there was hardly any chance that Carol’s family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day,Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep.Of course,she had a strange dream.She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish.Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol,but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol,“Baby,you cannot have access to fresh fruit and vegetables from plants as you have at your home.You cannot breathe fresh air.You cannot play with animals.You will not find peace as you see here!Do you still want to go to the city ”
Without hearing the concerns,Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish.Grandmother granted her wish,but with a condition.Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city.Later,she would return to the village.Carol agreed.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

Dear Mr Smith,
I am an exchange student from China,learning computer programming here in London.The reason why I’m writing is to apply to be a volunteer for the coming International Intelligent Robot Exhibition.
To begin with,I’m crazy about robots and I want to take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about them,as well as sharing my opinions with those who are interested in designing robots.What’s more,having passed the required English level tests,I believe I can communicate with visitors without any difficulty.In addition,I hope to enrich my social experience through this volunteer activity.
Do hope you can take my application into consideration.I would appreciate it very much if you could offer me the chance.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Carol’s brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up.She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life.Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life.She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruit and vegetables,and they laughed together.Carol also developed a love for plants,animals and beautiful nature.
