• 2．"Charlieeeeeeee，do your homework now!" his mother was shouting.
     Charlie thought，"Well she doesn't have to do it."and he spent hours with his books，hoping that time would pass and it would soon be time for supper.As usual，he was lying on his bed，busy staring at the ceiling，daydreaming.Suddenly some little elves（精灵），no more than a centimetre tall，appeared by the window.
     One of the elves asked Charlie politely to give them his homework so they can play with it.
     Charlie agreed and watched his guests，and was so surprised to see what they did.In less than a minute，they had formed teams and were busy playing with the pen，the eraser，the book，and the pad of paper.Very strange stuff they were getting up to.Like with the sums，instead of moving the pen across the paper，they would hold the pen still and move the paper instead.Or like how they had races to see who could do the sums fastest.They also used well-known songs to learn the words to them.When they had done that they put on a big concert to sing those songs
     Charlie really enjoyed watching those little students.He even joined in with the singing.
     "Aww，this is so much fun...
     "Of course it's fun!Why don't you try it for a few days yourself？We'll all come back to see you again from time to time.
     "Deal!" agreed Charlie.
     So，every evening，Charlie started playing with his homework，inventing new and crazier ways to make it more fun.He would sing loads of songs and do all manner of other things too.Now and again，his elf friends would turn up.
     Neither Charlie's parents，nor his teachers，nor anyone in the whole school could understand the great change in him.From that day on，not only did he spend a lot more time doing homework，he did it perfectly.He was very happy，and was always singing.His mother told him how proud she was at seeing him work so hard.
     But Charlie said to himself，"Well，she doesn't have to do jye.ai.It's fun!"

• 3．At a large forest park in eastern Beijing，11 birds on the state -level protection list were recently released，which owed to Beijing's big step in wildlife protection.
     These birds had recovered after the Beijing Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center rescued and took care of them. "We will speed up our efforts to push the establishment of district-level wildlife rescue centers to guard the health of wildlife，" said Mr.Du，director of the center.The center was set up in 2001 and built a wildlife rescue base in the capital's Shunyi District in 2005.Staff at the base have rescued and rehabilitated over 30，000 wild animals in total.
     Wildlife protection has been strengthened in Beijing in recent years.On June 1，the city's newly adopted regulation （法规） on wildlife protection took effect，introducing stricter and more concrete measures to protect the environment and wildlife.For example，the regulation states clearly that Beijing bans hunting throughout the year，compared with the previous regulation which bans hunting during the periods of March to May and September to November each year.The new regulation also gives more serious punishment for illegal hunters.
     After years of monitoring，the species and quantity of wild animals in Beijing are continuously increasing，with the number of terrestrial spinal wild animals（陆地脊椎野生动物） growing from 461 species in 1994 to more than 500.The habitat of the endangered bird has expanded from Fangsh District to the whole city.
     "The enforcement of the new regulation marked a new stage in Beijing's wildlife protection work，" said Mr.Du."We will step up the publicity of the regulation and raise citizens' awareness of wildlife protection，"Du said."In our protection of mountains，rivers，forests，farmlands，lakes and grasslands.jye.ai take into full consideration the requirements of ecological corridor construction （生态走廊建设），food- chain construction and wildlife and their habitat protection."
  
  （1）What has the wildlife rescue base done？

  
  A．It has sped up its efforts to recover the birds.
  B．It has built a large forest park in eastern Beijing.
  C．It has saved lots of wild animals in need of help.
  D．It has established district-level wildlife rescue centers.
  （2）What is the effect of the new regulation？

  
  A．It bans hunting in Beijing all the year round.
  B．It sets up nationwide wildlife rescue centers.
  C．It raises people's awareness of wildlife protection.
  D．It monitors the wildlife protection for a long time.
  （3）Which of the following statements did Mr.Du agree with？

  
  A．Beijing will enter a new stage after taking the regulation.
  B．Beijing citizens need to know more of the new regulation.
  C．Food-chain construction needs the whole society's attention.
  D．The natural environmental conditions are not considered yet.
  （4）What could be the best tile of the passage？

  
  A．Wildlife and Their Habitat Protection in Beijing
  B．Beijing's Newly Adopted Regulation on Wildlife Protection
  C．Beijing's Big Progress in Wildlife Protection with New Regulation
  D．The Establishment of Beijing Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center

• 4．Never play games with a robot.It will find a way to cheat if it can.A team from Open AI，an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco，has developed artificially intelligent robots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek.The robots also learned how to use basic tools and learned to play against the laws of physics in order to win.
     In April，2019，a team of robots known as the Open AI Five beat the human world champions at the team-based video game Dota 2.The hide-and-seek robots use similar laws to learn，but the simpler game allows for more creative play.
     Bowen Bakerat Open AI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based learning ability of the Open AI Five could be used to create skills that could one day be useful to humans.The researchers set their robots in an environment filled with fixed walls and movable boxes and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek millions of times.The robots 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 if to climb over walls.The robots 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.jye.ai 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 the Open AI Five？

  
  A．It is a science team that managed to win Dota 2.
  B．It is an AI lab designed to play hide-and-seek.
  C．It is a science lab founded to do creative play.
  D．It is a team of AI robots at the game Dota 2.
  （2）What can be learned from the game hide and seek in the passage？

  
  A．The robots solve fewer problems than humans.
  B．The robots are able to create tools in the game.
  C．The robots learned new ways to solve problems.
  D．The robots are quick to discover game winners.
  （3）What does the underlined word "sabotage" mean in paragraph 4？

  
  A．To prevent on purpose.
  B．To shoot at once.
  C．To win at last.
  D．To adapt on time.
  （4）What is the author's opinion in the last paragraph？

  
  A．AI will improve themselves and it won't take long.
  B．There are ways for AI to solve real problems.
  C．There are still limitation of AI applications.
  D．AI finds more solutions than humans do.
