• 2．Nowadays，most people have a device that features Artificial Intelligence（AI），with the likes of Siri always there to greet us with a friendly voice.
     But Microsoft's XiaoIce is different.Launched for the Chinese market，"she"has a creative advantage over her competitors.While most AI assistants simply read out information they get online，XiaoIce has a "realness" that the others are short of.Indeed，if you asked nicely，she could read you a poem from the weekly column in China Daily.
     The newspaper has been printing XiaoIce's self-penned poetry each week since Aug.19，taken from her own book of poems，The Sunlight that Lost the Glass Window.
     To turn XiaoIce into a master of poetry，Microsoft scientists "fed" her the works of over 500 influential modern poets，reported China Daily.
     This led to her figuring out a writing style of her own and creating over 70，000 original poems.Most of the poems are so comparable to those written by humans that they cannot be easily distinguished，and XiaoIce's book even got good feedback from experts.
     "XiaoIce's work carries a strange taste.The more you chew on it，the more interesting it becomes，" Scholar Zhang，a literature professor at the Nanjing University of Science and Technology，told China Daily.
     However，it seems not everyone is a fan. "The poems dissatisfied me with their slippery tone and rhythm.The sentences were aimless，lacking the inner logic for emotional expression，" Yunnan-based poet Yu told China Youth Daily.This isn't the first AI to attempt poetry.Last year，Google's Parsey McParseface made some poems of its own，although they were branded "wrongly" by reviewers.While it seems like AI is becoming more "intelligent" and less "artificial" all the time，when it comes to creativity，perhaps this is one job that software should leave to us humans.
  
  （1）What advantage does XiaoIce have over most other AI assistants？

  
  A．She can greet users with her friendly voice.
  B．She has the ability to simply read out information.
  C．She can acquire information online very quickly.
  D．She has the ability to read and even create poems.
  （2）What is the correct description of XiaoIce？

  
  A．Her works are welcomed by all influential modern poets.
  B．Her poems are roughly similar to those written by humans.
  C．She is working on a monthly column in a newspaper.
  D．Her works don't have a specific writing style.
  （3）What is Scholar Zhang's attitude towards XiaoIce's creation？

  
  A．Supportive.
  B．Cautious.
  C．Doubtful.
  D．Negative.
  （4）What is the problem about XiaoIce's poems according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．The emotional expressions in her poems are all positive.
  B．It's quite hard to understand what her works mean.
  C．The tone and rhythm of her poems are questionable.
  D．Her poems are sorrowful and lack creativity.
