Elizabeth Spelke, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the world’s most complex learning system-the mind of a baby. Babies might seem like no match for artificial intelligence (AI). They are terrible at labeling images, hopeless at mining text, and awful at video games. Then again, babies can do things beyond the reach of any AI. By just a few months old, they’ve begun to grasp the foundations of language, such as grammar. They’ve started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.
Yet even experts like Spelke don’t understand precisely how babies or adults learn. Consider one of the most impressive examples of AI, Alpha Zero, a programme that plays board games with superhuman skill. After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones. It certainly seems like a machineeclipsinghuman cognitive abilities. But Alpha Zero needs to play millions more games than a person during practice to learn a game. Most importantly, it cannot take what it has learned from the game and apply it to another area.
To some AI experts, that calls for a new approach. In a November research paper, Francois Chollet, a well-known AI engineer, argued that it’s misguided to measure machine intelligence just according to its skills at specific tasks. “Humans don’t start out with skills; they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills,” he says. “What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess, but the potential to fulfill any task of a similar difficulty.”
4. Compared to an advanced AI programme, a baby might be better at ________.
A playing games B. identifying locations C. labeling pictures D. making adjustments
5. What does the underlined word “eclipsing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Imitating. B. Beating. C. Limiting. D. Promoting. 6. According to the text, Francois Chollet may agree that ________. A. AI is good at completing certain assignments.
B. AI is likely to gain abilities with less training. C. AI lacks the ability of acquiring specific skills. D. AI performs better than humans in cognitive ability. 7. Whichwould be the best title for this passage?
A. What is exactly intelligence? B. Why is modern AI advanced?
C. Where is human intelligence going? D. How do humans face the challenge of AI?

In Colombia a group, named WebConserva, is carrying out a project in the San Lucas Mountains with the help of coffee growers.
The San Lucas area is one of the most unexplored places in Colombia, which is home to many thousands of species of animals and plants. Yet gold mining and coca farming have dealt a blow to its ecosystem. To limit additional development in the San Lucas area, the group helps coffee growers by linking them with processors from around the country.
Colombia has more different kinds of living things than any other country except neighboring Brazil. In 2016, the Colombian government signed a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ending years of civil war. As a result, more land became accessible for use, with deforestation(毁林) coming along. Government information shows that in 2017, almost 220,000 hectares of forest were destroyed compared to around 124,000 hectares in 2015.
To date, the project includes 10 families who farm 400 hectares of coffee plants, which costs about $77,000 dollars a year. WebConserva hopes that, in time, 200 families will be included. At that level, 20,000 hectares of untouched forest could be protected. In San Lucas, the families promise not to cut down trees to expand their crops or to hunt wild animals from the forests. In return, they receive $ 250 to $ 300 per 125 kilograms of coffee, an enviable amount there. Arcadio Barajas is among those taking part. His new coffee plantation(种植园) makes a barrier between cattle farms and forests where wild animals like the jaguar live and hunt. In this way, he doesn't have to kill wild animals to protect his cattle.
Barajas said that pulling down the forest to plant coca and killing wildlife were against his will. Now he feels that growing coffee lets him be astewardof the land. \"I'm taking care of the environment, the forest and the animals,\" he said.
8. Why does WebConserva set up the project? A. To help local farmers make money.
B. To expand areas of coffee growing. C. To link processors with coffee growers. D. To conserve biodiversity in the Mountains. 9. What happened after Colombia’s civil war was over? A. Colombia helped many needy families. B. Colombia lost lots of areas of forests. C. Colombia started to save damaged forests. D. Colombia became more peaceful than Brazil.
10. Which is probably a function of Barajas's coffee plantation? A. A method of protecting cattle and wildlife. B. A substitute for hunting of wild animals. C. A barrier between man and wild animals. D. A shelter for cattle against human hunters.
11. What does the underlined word \"steward\" mean in the last paragraph? A. Farmer. B. Master. C. Guardian. D. Explorer.
D
If you go into the forest with friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them findyou. You can help them find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. You can shout or whistle three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help.
Keep up shouting or whistling. Always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making a noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They will give you two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house with branches(树枝). Make yourself a bed with leaves and grass.
When you need some water, you have to leave your little branch house to look for it. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk in order to go back again easily. When you are lost, the most important thing to do is to stay in one place.
12. If you get lost in the forest, you should _________.
A. try to find your friends in no time B. stay in one place and give signals C. walk around the forest D. shout as loudly as possible 13. Which signal is a call for help?
A. Crying twice. B. Shouting here and there.
C. Whistling everywhere in the forest. D. Shouting or whistling three times together. 14. When you hear two shouts or two whistles, you know that _________. A. someone needs your help B. something terrible will happen C. people will come to help you D. someone is afraid of an animal 15. What’s the meaning of the last paragraph?
A. Use branches to make a bed. B. Drop branches to look for water.
C. Pick off branches to build another house. D. Leave branches to help you find your way back. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
