• 4．Never play games with a bot（机器人）- it will find a way to cheat if it can.A team from OpenAI，an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco co-founded by Elon Musk，has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek.The bots also learned how to use basic tools and that disobeying the laws of physics can help to win.
     In April，2019，a team of bots known as the OpenAI Five beat the human world champions at the team-based video game Dota 2.The hide-and-seek bots use similar principles to learn but the simpler game allows for more inventive play.
     Bowen Baker at OpenAI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to create skills that could one day be useful to humans.The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated（模拟的）environment filled with fixed walls and movable boxes and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek millions of times.The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn't communicate with each other directly.At first，the hiders simply ran away.However，they soon worked out that they could find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view.For example，they learned that boxes could be used to block doorways and build simple hiding places.The seekers learned that they could move a ramp（斜坡）around and use it to climb over walls.The bots then discovered that being a team player was the quickest way to win.
     The hiders also learned to sabotage the other team，such as hiding the ramp before hiding themselves so that the other team can't make use of the ramp. "Once one team learns a new strategy，it creates this pressure for the other team to adapt，" says Baker.
     Such tricks show that AIs are able to find solutions that humans miss，says Baker. "Maybe they'll even be able to solve problems that humans don't yet know how to，" However，there's still a long way to go from online hide-and-seek to real problem-solving.
  
  （1）What is OpenAI？

  
  A．It's a video game.
  B．It's an AI system.
  C．It's a science lab.
  D．It's a team of AI bots.
  （2）What did the AI bots do at hide-and-seek？

  
  A．They worked together to win.
  B．They created objects as their tools.
  C．They learned the laws of physics.
  D．They communicated with each other directly.
  （3）Which of the following can replace the underlined word "sabotage" in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．Help.
  B．Prevent.
  C．Take charge of.
  D．Keep up with.
  （4）What may the author tell in the following paragraph？

  
  A．Advantages of AI bots over humans.
  B．Lessons from online hide-and-seek.
  C．possibilities of AI in real problem-solving.
  D．Limitations of such AI technology's applications.

• 5．Education has always been a hot topic.How to educate children can be a sweet but painstaking task for parents，many of whom try to offer their children the best environment.Competition between parents over children's education may start from the kind of animated（动画）series children watch.（1）

  By watching the former，children can learn English at the same time.However，this does not mean those watching foreign shows perform better than those watching Chinese ones.（2）

  They can help children learn traditional Chinese culture and history.Take Journey to the West for example. （3）

  
     By watching this show，children can learn more about the history of the Tang Dynasty and the development of Buddhist culture in China.Foreign shows can open a window for children to gain a better understanding of the outside world.So，children ought to be encouraged to watch both as long as the content of the show is beneficial.
     This can also be applied to other things beyond animated series.（4）

  However，some parents fail to do this.Their incorrect view can more or less leave an influence on their children.Innocent（天真的）children，influenced by their parents，slowly hold the view that watching foreign shows is better than watching Chinese shows. （5）

  
  
  A.Chinese shows have their own advantages.
  B.Foreign animated series are always the first choice for parents.
  C.Children often follow their parents' advice when choosing animated series.
  D.For example，children can be encouraged to read folk tales at home and abroad.
  E.Once the view is formed in children's minds，parents' education proves a failure.
  F.This show is based on one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature.
  G.For some parents，watching foreign animated shows is better than watching Chinese ones.
