On a cold winter day in Denver, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.
During his talk, Jack took out his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this ”
Hands shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would choose. But I ran up the stairs to the stage and grabbed the bill from his hand. He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want!”
After this week, I asked for his personal e-mail address and sent him e-mail sharing my views and dreams. He kindly e-mailed back simple encouragement such as “Keep thinking and playing bigger; it’s much more fun that way. Love, Jack.” Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mail Jack.
A year later, my dream gradually faded. I had this idea if I got back in touch with Jack. I e-mailed him again and again but got no response. As I sat down at my computer to check my e-mail for the fifth time in 15 minutes, an inspiration came like lighting: What was I doing Was I waiting for the prize of life I knew I needed to do something about all this waiting. I was going to write a book, which I would call “Waiting for Jack”!
It all sounded good, but then reality hit. Some nights I cried and wanted to give up. I wrote and rewrote. Even though I could feel the fear, I did it anyway. Fortunately, three years later, Waiting for Jack turns out a best-seller on Amazon!
We all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. Now I would like to ask you: what are you waiting for
41.From the first paragraph we can learn that the author _________.

First the robots came for our jobs. Now they’re coming for our hobbies. Google’s DeepMind AI lab has been busy the past few years, creating programs to take on human players across a variety of games. In 2016 its AlphaGo beat the best Go player in the world. Earlier this year, its Alpha Star defeated two middle-tier players at the popular online game StarCraft II. Now it’s learning to win at multiplayer games.
“Artificially intelligent agents are getting better and better at two-player games, but most real-world endeavors require teamwork,” DeepMind’s researchers wrote in a paper published in Science in June.
To be sure, computers have been proving their dominance (优越) over humans in one-on-one turn-based games such as chess ever since IBM’s Deep Blue beat Russian chess master Garry Kasparov in 1997.
However, successfully using teamwork to win in multiplayer games with complex environments was difficult to achieve.
For this purpose, DeepMind’s researchers designed AI agents that taught themselves how to play first-person
game Quake III Arena. The team, led by Max Jaderberg, worked on a modified (修改的) version of Quake III Arena.
The game mode they chose was “Capture (抢) the Flag”. All the players must work together to steal the other team’s flag while safeguarding their own.
The AI agents “trained” with 12 hours of game data, then matched up against professional game testers. The AI won 75 percent of the time, even when its reaction time artificially slowed down to human levels and when their aiming ability was similarly reduced.
And in order to make improvements, the programmers used various kinds of “rewards” to help the AI players weigh their goals and actions to help them cooperate in the teamwork. They also used randomized maps for each new match.
“That meant the solutions that the agents find have to be general –– they cannot just memorize a sequence (系列) of actions,” said co-author Wojciech Czarnecki.
The only time humans were able to beat the AI agents was when they teamed up together. A team consisting of one human and one AI agent had a five percent greater win probability than a team of just AI agents.
Ethan Gach said at the video game news website Kotaku, “It suggests that the AI program is able to adapt to playing with non-AI teammates.” In the near future, AI may cooperate with human beings in some other fields, such as medicine and other branches of science.
46.What might be the most difficult task for AI agents in multiplayer games
A.Understanding the rules.
B.Cooperating with other players.
C.Memorizing complex actions.
D.Increasing reaction speed.
47.How did the researchers of Google’s DeepMind train AI agents
A.They gave various “punishments” when AI agents lost the games.
B.They made AI agents team up with non-professional human players.
C.They limited the time for AI agents to complete difficult tasks.
D.They put them through thousands of games with different situations.
48.What does Gach mean in the last paragraph
A.AI players perform better than humans in a team game.
B.AI programs should be offered more game data.
C.AI players are able to do well with human players.
D.AI programs have been successfully applied in the field of medicine.
49.The underlined word “randomized” in Paragraph 8 can be understood as________.
A.generalized B.specialized C.updated D.memorized
50.What’s the best title of this passage
A.Researches on DeepMind AI B.Training AI Agents
C.Teaming up with AI D.AI Competing with Human Beings
D
Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study you role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server you. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.”
51.Imitation proves useful when you .
A.know you are unique B.lose the balance of life
C.begin to learn something new D.get tired of routine practice
52.To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should .
A.forget daily fear and pain B.choose the right example
C.ask others for decisions D.stay away from stars
53.According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are .
A.desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B.ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C.eager to discover what their ancestors did
D.willing to accept others' ideas
54.The trouble a creator faces is .
A.the lack of strong motivation
B.the absence of practical ideas
C.how to search for more materials
D.how to use imagination creatively
55.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage
A.To highlight the importance of creatively.
B.To criticize the characters of role models.
C.To compare imitation with creation.
D.To explain the meaning of success.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey, works at nursing homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often goes with her in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at ” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again.
Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that the nursing home didn’t allow residents to have
dogs and Pearl couldn’t afford to pay anyone to look after hers. The Chitseys also learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.
She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. “That’s a lot simpler than going, ‘Hey, what do you want ’” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, pants that fit properly, and even just a prayer.
“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.” Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months.
Then they started asking for donations, set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, and raised more than $250,000 in five months. One of their new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state.Ruby Kate doesn’t plan to stop there. “I consider kindness to be my hobby,” she says, “and I’m very good at it.”
56.What makes Ruby Kate have a close relationship with older people (No more than 10 words)
57.Why was Pearl’s dog taken away from her (No more than 15 words)

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者与心目中的英雄 Jack Canfield 建立了联系,
后来作者因忙于其他事情,与杰克中断了联络,作者试图再次与杰克取得联系,等待杰克回复电子邮件的过程中,有了一个灵感,开始写一本名为《等待杰克》的书,最终获得了成功的故事。
41. 细节理解题。由文章第一段“On a cold winter day in Denver, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the co-author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series and the author of The Success Principles. What Jack had become was a version of what I wanted to be.(在丹佛一个寒冷的冬日,我排队等着看我的英雄杰克·坎菲尔德,他是畅销书《灵魂鸡汤》系列的合著者,也是《成功原则》的作者。杰克变成了我想成为的样子)”可知,作者想要变得和杰克一样成功。故选B项。
42.推理判断题。由文章第三段“He turned to me and said, “Yes, that’s it! Instead of waiting around for opportunities, simply take the initiative and create what we want!”(他转向我说:“是的,就是这样!与其等待机会,不如采取主动,创造我们想要的!”)”可知,杰克喜欢主动去面对、创造生活,他是一个喜欢迎接生活挑战的人。故选A项。
43.细节理解题。由文章第四段“Then I got occupied with other things in life and I stopped e-mail Jack.(然后我忙于生活中的其他事情,我停止给杰克发电子邮件)”可知,后来作者忙于其它事情,所以不再给杰克发邮件了。故选B项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能在团队合作上的发展,人工智能可以通过训练与人类在不同的领域进行团队合作。
46.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, successfully using teamwork to win in multiplayer games with complex environments was difficult to achieve.(然而,在复杂环境的多人游戏中成功利用团队合作获胜是很困难的。)”可知,很难实现使现需要团队合作来赢得环境复杂的多人游戏,也就是说团队合作可能是很困难的任务。故选B项。
47.细节理解题。根据第七段中的“The AI agents “trained” with 12 hours of game data, then matched up against professional game testers.(AI代理使用12小时的游戏数据 进行“训练”,然后与专业游戏测试人员进行匹配。)”以及第八段中的“And in order to make improvements, the programmers used various kinds of “rewards” to help the AI players weigh their goals and actions to help them cooperate in the teamwork.(而为了做出改进,程序员们用各种“奖励”来帮助AI玩家权衡他们的目标和行动,帮助他们在团队合作中合作。)”可知,研究者利用12小时的游戏数据以及与专业游戏玩家对抗来训练人工智能,甚至通过各种奖励手段来帮助玩家权衡目标和行动来实现团队合作,由此可知,研究者通过将人工智能置于各种不同的情况下进行训练。故选D项。
48.推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Ethan Gach said at the video game news website Kotaku,“It suggests that the AI program is able to adapt to playing with non-AI teammates.”(Ethan Gach在视频游戏新闻网站Kotaku上说,“这表明AI程序能够适应与非AI队友一起玩。”)”可知,Ethan Gach认为人工智能能够适应与非人工智能团队合作,即可以与人类团队合作,所以他认为人工智能在与人类玩家合作中表现很好。故选C项。
49.词句猜测题。根据倒数第四段中的“And in order to make improvements, the programmers used various kinds of “rewards” to help the AI players weigh their goals and actions to help them cooperate in the teamwork.(而为了做出改进,程序员们用各种“奖励”来帮助AI玩家权衡他们的目标和行动,帮助他们在团队合作中合作。)”可知,为了训练人工智能的团队合作能力,程序设计师利用各种方式去帮助实现团队合作,结合划线单词所在的句子“They also used…maps for each new match.(他们为每一款新游戏使用……地形图。)”可知,他们也使用新比赛的各种地形图来训练人工智能的团队合作,再根据第四段“However, successfully using teamwork to win in multiplayer games with complex environments was difficult to achieve.(然而,在复杂环境的多人游戏中成功利用团队合作获胜是很困难的。)”可知,多玩家游戏相对来说环境是很复杂的,所以在训练过程中的地图也不应该是固定的,而是随机的,由此可猜测该
单词的意思是“随机化的”,generalized的意思是“广泛的”,词义最为接近。故选A项。
50.主旨大意题。根据第二段““Artificially intelligent agents are getting better and better at two-player games, but most real-world endeavors require teamwork,” DeepMind’s researchers wrote in a paper published in Science in June.(“人工智能代理在双人游戏中越来越好,但大多数现实世界的努力都需要团队合作,”DeepMind的研究人员在六月发表在《科学》杂志上的一篇论文中写道。)”可知,人工智能在双人游戏对战中表现越来越好,但是大多数的现实世界中需要的是团队合作,由此引出下文的介绍,研究者通过训练来培养人工智能的团队合作能力,结合尾段“In the near future, AI may cooperate with human beings in some other fields, such as medicine and other branches of science.(在不久的将来,人工智能可能会在其他一些领域与人类合作,例如医学和其他科学分支。)”可知,在未来,人工智能能在某些领域与人类合作,所以该文主要介绍的是人工智能的团队合作。故选C项。

【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了要创新,不要盲目模仿。
51.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful.(在技能或性格发展的早期阶段,模仿是有帮助的)”以及所举的例子可知,当你开始学习新东西时,模仿被证明是有用的。故选C。
52.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.(作为一个孩子,如果你观察那些生活很糟糕的人,你可能会接受他们的恐惧和痛苦,并继续追随他们的所作所为。如果你不为自己做出强有力的选择,你将会得到别人软弱选择的结果。在娱乐领域,我们的文化美化名人。那些明星在银幕上看起来很棒。但当他们走出屏幕,他们的个人生活可能是灾难性的。如果你要追随某人,关注他们的才能,而不是他们的坏性格或不可接受的行为)”可知,人们选择不好的榜样时,就会使模仿的结果变坏。由此推知,为了避免模仿的不良后果,我们应该选择正确的榜样。故选B。
53.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to
create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration not desperation. (有福的人是愿意按照他们突然的渴望去创造一些独特的东西。想想那些对你影响最深的电影、书籍、老师和朋友。他们之所以能够打动你是因为他们的创作是基于灵感而不是绝望)”可知,根据作者的观点,世界因为那些准备把他们的原始想法变成现实的人而前进。故选B。
54.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.(有创造力的人有无穷无尽的想法。创作者面临的问题不是没有素材;它是关于如何处理敲着想象之门的材料)”可知,创造者面临的问题是如何创造性地运用想象力。故选D。
55.推理判断题。根据第一段“Blind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.(盲目模仿是自我毁灭。对于那些认不出自己独特价值的人来说,模仿显得很有吸引力;对于那些知道自己实力的人来说,模仿是不可接受的)”及下文论述可知,文章的主要目的是强调要创新,不要盲目模仿。故选A。
