Oracle bone script (甲骨文) is the oldest kind of Chinese writing. AI is the newest technology we use today. But right now, in Anyang, Henan, a group of engineers is using AI to study this old writing type.
Li Bang, 33, is an AI scientist at Anyang Normal University. He and his team are building a special online library. They put pictures of oracle bones and lots of books into this library. They write programs to help AI learn to look at the shapes of characters (文字) and find information about them in the “library”.
When people want to study an oracle bone character, they show it to the computer. AI will find similar characters and books about it in a few seconds. In the past, this took people a few hours or even a few days.
AI is good at doing “puzzles (字谜)”. Usually oracle bones are found broken into pieces. To study them, we need to piece them together first. But there are about 160, 000 pieces in the world. It’s hard to find the correct pieces. So far (目前) we have only put together seven thousand sets. But AI makes this problem simple.
Engineers made a program to help AI learn to look at the shapes and characters of the bone pieces. It can quickly find matching pieces in its memory. This way AI can easily help us put the puzzles together.
“AI is a great helper for people who study oracle bones. But it can’t take their place.” Li said. AI remembers things very well but it isn’t good at thinking things through. So far it can help us look for information about the characters but it can hardly tell us what the characters mean.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

A．To save the space of the university’s library. B．To help people study oracle bone script.
C．To prove (证明) that AI is a good helper. D．To teach AI to write programs.
12．What does the underlined word “this” refer to
A．Putting pictures of oracle bones into the online library.
B．Knowing the meaning of an oracle bone character.
C．Writing programs to help AI find information.
D．Finding similar characters and books about an oracle bone character.
13．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．How AI finds oracle bones underground. B．How AI puts seven thousand sets together.
C．How AI helps to piece oracle bone pieces together. D．How AI tells us what the characters mean.
14．Which of the following may Li Bang agree with
A．It’s possible for AI to think like people.
B．AI can tell us the characters’ meanings.
C．AI can’t do everything for people.

The English you learn through textbooks or classes is not what you’ll hear people say on the street. The English used in movies is very natural. I’ll show you how to learn English from movies.
Choose movies you know.
16 Since you know the story, you can focus (聚焦) on the language learning. Or, watch the movie of an English book you’ve read.
17
If you’re bored, paying attention for more than one and a half hours will be difficult. I remember when I was a child, I had to watch old movies like Singin’ in the Rain and Mary Poppins to learn English. I didn’t hate them, but I didn’t feel excited when watching them.
Start small.
Start with a short movie which is easy to watch. Avoid any movie that needs a deeper level of understanding of history or culture. 18 You will find it harder to focus on the language.
Break it up.
Watching a full movie may be too much for you. Sometimes it’s better to watch it in smaller bits. You can set a small goal to study a 10-minute part of your movie per day. 19
Watch the same movie more than once.
Try watching a movie twice or more. Pick your favorite actors, directors or writers and let yourself fall in love with their works. 20 And good movies make learning English fun.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A．Choose an interesting movie.
B．Or, translate 15 lines from the movie.
C．That’s likely to make you think too much.
D．Usually, movies you want to watch twice are good.
E．Choosing a movie you’ve watched is good for a beginner.
