This course explores the concepts and algorithms(算法) at the foundation of modern artificial intelligence, diving into the ideas that give rise to technologies like game-playing engines,handwriting recognition, and machine translation. Through hands-on projects, students gain exposure to the theory behind graph search algorithms, classification, and other topics in artificial intelligence and machine learning as they incorporate them into their own Python programs. By course's end, students emerge with experience in libraries for machine learning as well as knowledge of artificial intelligence principles that enable them to design intelligent systems of their own.
Requirement
CS50x or at least one year of experience with Python.

B
For Mother's Day I asked for one thing: a house cleaning service. Bathrooms and floors specifically, windows if the extra expense was reasonable. The gift , for me, was not so much in the cleaning itself but the fact that for once I would not be in charge of the household office work. Iwould not have to make the calls, get multiple quotes, research and ve t each service, arrange
payment and schedule the appointment. The real gift I wanted was to be relieved of the emotional labor of a single task that had been ringing at the back of my mind. The clean house would simply be a bonus.
My husband waited for me to change my mind to an “easier”gift than housecleaning,something he could one-click order on Amazon. The day before Mother's Day, disappointed by my unwavering desire, he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and vowed to clean the bathrooms himself. He still gave me the choice, of course. He told me the high dollar amount of completing the cleaning services I requested and asked if I still wanted him to book it.
What I wanted was for him to ask friends on Facebook for a recommendation, call four or five more services, do the emotional labor I would have done if the job had fallen to me. I knew exactly how exhausting it was going to be. That's why I asked my husband to do it as a gift.
“In general, we classify gender emotions in our society by continuing to emphasize the false idea that women are always able to feel, express, and manage our emotions better than men,”says Dr.Lisa Huebner, a sociologist of gender.“This is not to say that some individuals do not manage emotion better than others as part of their own individual personality, but I would argue that we still have no firm evidence that this ability is biologically determined by sex. At the same time, we find all kinds of ways in society to ensure that girls and women are responsible for emotions and, then,men get a pass.”
24. What can we learn about the author's husband from the first two paragraphs
A. He was in charge of arranging housework.
B. He didn't know what the author really wanted.
C. He would buy a gift to the author from Amazon.
D. He thought housecleaning service cost-effective.
25. Why did the author ask her husband to call a house cleaning service
A. To complete her reservation service piled up.
B. To get a clean house without doing it herself.
C. To ease the guilt over not doing her housework.
D. To get away from the emotional labor involved.
26. What does the underlined word“unwavering”in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Natural. B. Secret. C. Firm. D. Humble.
27. What is the author's purpose in mentioning Dr. Lisa Huebner
A. To show it unfair to leave the emotional labor to women.
B. To show that some individuals can manage emotions better.
C. To show that naturally women are responsible for emotions.
D. To show that emotional ability is biologically determined by sex,
C
The existing coffee market is dominated by Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora.Unfortunately for them, coffee bushes grow best in a rather narrow range of temperatures, so their cultivation is threatened by a changing climate. But a chance discovery by Aaron Davis from Britain,published in Nature Plants, may offer a way out. Dr Davis and his colleagues report that they have tracked down a type of wild coffee which is both pleasant to taste and tolerant of higher temperatures.
Dr Davis, however, came across a paper written in 1834 by George Don, a Scottish scientist,which described a species from warmer areas. Don named it stenophylla, and wrote that it had a flavour superior to arabica’s, and it was farmed up until the 1920s, after which canephora, which had higher yields, took over. Stenophylla was then gradually forgotten.
The crucial question was, was Don's praise to its flavour justified To find out, Dr Davis arranged*a competition involving 18 professional coffee tasters who assessed, in a blind comparison,a set of samples that included stenophylla, two types of arabica and one of canephora.
Stenophylla performed well. It was rated as having higher fruitlike qualities than a Brazilian arabica and an Indonesian canephora, and also a more favourable acid ity and more complex flavour profile, though slightly less desired than an Ethiopian arabica. It had nearly the same body as the others, and lacked an unpleasant, earthy bitterness found in the Brazilian arabica and the Indonesian canephora. When asked if what they were tasting was arabica, the judges said“yes”81% of the time for samples of stenophylla, compared with 98% for the arabica from Ethiopia. They identified the Brazilian arabica as such only 44% of the time, and misidentified the canephora as arabica on7% of occasions.
Stenophylla does taste like arabica and tolerates higher temperatures than either arabica or canephora. That opens two possible courses of action. One is to cultivate it directly, though this might run into the yield problem which led to its abandonment in the first place. The other is to crossbreed it with existing species, to provide those high-yielding varieties with its heat tolerance.
28. What is the purpose of the research into a type of wild. coffee
A. To promote the habit of drinking coffee.
B. To deal with global warming problems.
C. To help coffee farmers make more profits.
D. To save coffee production from global warming.
29. According to 18 professional coffee tasters, what can we learn about the four types of coffee
A. Ethiopian arabica is more appealing than Brazilian arabica.
B. Indonesian canephora tasted best among four types of coffee.
C. Stenophylla has less taste of bitterness than two types of arabica.
D. Stenophylla has a more favourable acidity than Ethiopian arabica.
30. What are presented in the last paragraph
A. Historical factors. B. Theoretical bases.
C. Statistical analyses. D. Practical solutions.
31. Which section of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from
A. Business. B. Agriculture.
C. Finance and economics. D. Science and technology.
D
Of the many memorable things about Stephen Hawking, perhaps the most memorable of all was his conversation. The disease that confined him to a wheelchair also stopped him talking, so instead a computer produced what became a world-famous voice.
It was, though, a laborious process. Hawking had to move a muscle in his cheek to control a computer that helped him build up sentences, word by word, struggling to produce about ten words a minute. A better way to communicate would be to read the brain of a paralyzed(瘫痪的) person directly and then translate those readings into speech. And a study published in Nature this week, byEdward Chang, a neurosurgeon at the University of California, San Francisco, describes just such a technique. Speaking requires the precise control of almost 100 muscles in the lips, jaw, tongue and throat to produce the characteristic breaths and sounds that make up sentences. By measuring the brain signals that control these throat muscles, Dr Chang has been able to use a computer to produce speech accurately.
The volunteers for Dr Chang's study were five people with epilepsy(癫 痫 ) who had electrodes(电极) put into their brains as part of their treatment. He and his colleagues used these electrodes to record the volunteers’ brain activity while those volunteers spoke several hundred sentences out loud. Specifically, the researchers tracked activity in parts of the brain responsible for controlling the muscles of the throat.
To transform those signals into speech they did two things. First, they trained a computer program to recognize what the signals meant. They did this by feeding the program with output from the electrodes and with representations of the shapes the throat adopts when speaking the test sentences——data known from decades of study of voices. Then, when the program had learned the relevant associations, they used it to translate electrode signals into throat movements, and thus into sound.
Restoring speech is a more complex task than moving bodies——but sufficiently similar in
principle to give hope to those now in a position similar to that once endured by the late Dr Hawking.
32. What is the problem of the traditional method for the speechless to produce sentences
A. It is incredible. B. It is time-consuming.
C. It is impractical. D. It is unrecognizable.
33. How could the brain signals be interpreted into speech
A. By learning representation of the test sentences.
B. By translating electrode signals into sound directly.
C. By feeding the program with output from the electrodes.
D. By integrating brain signals, throat movement, and sound.
34. What is the author's attitude towards Dr Chang's studies
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Dismissive.
35. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. How to produce artificial speech. B. How to interpret brain signals.
C. How to give voice to the speechless. D. How to ease human conversation.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The majority of New Year's resolutions are abandoned after three months. It is human nature to pursue the path of least resistance, especially when you are tired. If you do not intentionally and consistently develop healthy habits, you will automatically fall for unhealthy ones. Obtaining the benefit of healthy habits requires some willpower, which is the ability to resist short-term temptations for long-term benefits. However, willpower is not enough. 36
Say goodbye to perfection. We often have a hard time sticking with new habits because we set unrealistic expectations. As high-achievers, we expect a workout to last an entire hour and include a set of workouts. 37 The truth is that some exercise is better than none. Even a 15-minute walk, or some light stretching is better than zero physical activity. Don't let perfectionism get in the way of making progress.
Increase your support system. Establishing a new behavior is easier when loved ones are supporting you. Having a support system can help you stay the course even when you are lower on willpo wer because others can remind you of the progress you have made. It is also harder to be lazy when someone is watching. 38
Keep it light. It is hard to stick with a new habit if it is too painful. As an example, many people struggle to keep up with an exercise program because it requires great effort and energy. The idea of showing up day after day for more muscle soreness can be discouraging. Try to keep your new habit light. 3 This makes it more likely you will look forward to it.
Give yourself some grace. 40 Be patient and realistic with yourself. Practice self-kindness when you experience shortcomings along the way. Beating yourself up leads to emotional pain that makes it more likely that you fall for old unhealthy habits.
A. Building a new habit can take months.
B. You also need systems to help healthy habits stick.
C. Anything less does not count as exercise in our minds.
D. Healthy habits can serve as an anchor to navigate life's challenges.
E. Instead of focusing on results, focus on enjoying the new behavior.
F. We deeply care about what others think of us and don't want to let them down.
G. It is the consistent practice of healthy habits over time that leads to positive results.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was an unpleasant, cold Sunday evening. The sun was on its way home and so was Sara. Sara was a health inspector, so she had to check people's houses to see if they were living a health y life.
Sundays were the only days she got a holiday, so she had been out trying to relax and enjoy the day. She was almost home when a small old house caught her eye. Her curiosity didn't allow her to pass by without checking it.
Hesitantly, she approached the house and knocked. She did not think anyone would be living in such an old, shabby cabin, but, to her surprise, an old couple answered the door. The house and the couple were quite similar, both old, ragged and very easily broken.
She greeted them and asked if she could come in. Their house was empty, just like their empty stomachs that growled(低吼) aloud. It was a heartbreaking scene to witness the condition they were in.
She gathered her courage and asked the reason behind their condition. The couple were a bit nervous at first, but eventually opened up about their life. The couple, named Razia and Shahid,were going through tough times. Shahid was not educated, so he couldn't get a decent job and only worked as a laborer, but that also for a short time because he would often fall il l due to old age. Rizia would work as a maid at people's homes when she was young, but when age caught up with her, she also could not work properly and fell sick.
They had no children, so there was no one to look after them in their old age. Some nights, they slept hungry, while on other nights, they received a meal from some kind people. They explained how hunger was like an unwanted companion, always present, making their stomachs growl.
Sara felt saddened by their tough situation and tried to comfort them. She thought about making some arrangements for their care.
注意：
1. 写作词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly her eyes li t up with, an idea.
The couple were delighted, and prayed for Sara's health and long life.

参考范文：
Suddenly her eyes lit up with an idea. Instead of sticking strictly to her job responsibilities and simply reporting their living conditions to the authorities, she decided to help them by buying the necessary groceries and some readymade food that they could eat at once. She also talked to a welfare center that promised to provide them with meals every day, because the couple was too old and weak to go and get it themselves. Sara bought some household items for them as well, which made it convenient for the old couple to fulfill their basic requirement for life.
The couple were delighted, and prayed for Sara's health and long life. From time to time Sara paid a visit to them and shared meals, hoping for a positive change in their lives. Their empty house came to life because of her frequent visit s and these necessities. The echoes of empty stomachs were now replaced with the warmth of shared meals. They lived a life in the loving support from a stranger, who showed care like no other. It was because of Sara's generosity and kindness that the old couple stayed away from the unwanted companion---hunger.
