Now an AI system （系統(tǒng)）has been tasked with passing a multiple-choice （多項選擇） exam. The goal is to improve machines' language understanding and logic（邏輯）with so-called computer vision（視覺）.

A system named Aristo was developed by the Allen Institute for AI, a lab in the United States city of Seattle. It recently passed an eighth-grade science exam taken by many US students. The New York Times reported. It correctly answered more than 90 percent of the questions. Then it was given a twelfth-grade exam, it scored more than 80 percent.

It's an example of the progress in AI development. Four years ago, 700 computer scientists tried to develop AI systems that could pass these kinds of exams. None scored higher than 60 percent.

Aristo was able to pass the exams because it can not only understand language but also use logical thinking to solve difficult problems. For example, it can understand what a forest fire is and how it could endanger animals like squirrels or make the food supply they need less.

The system used BERT, a kind of neural （神經(jīng)的）network technology developed by Google, to answer the questions. BERT has "read" thousands of English articles. If it looks at a sentence with a missing word, it can correctly guess what the word is. With BERT’ s help. Aristo "read" many multiple-choice questions and answers. Over time, it was able to find logical patterns on its own.

It may still be in the earliest stages, said Jingjing Liu, a Microsoft researcher who has been working on similar technologies. “We can't compare this technology to real human students and their ability to reason."

However, Aristo's success means that Al systems are getting better at understanding users, and we might see improved search engines and hospital databases （數(shù)據(jù)庫）in the near future.

【1】Why did scientists develop Aristo?

A.To make better multiple-choice exams.

B.To improve AI's ability to teach itself.

C.To shorten the time AI needs to "read" information.

D.To improve the language understanding and logic of AI.

【2】What can we know about Aristo from its exam results?

A.It was smarter than most US students.

B.It could only deal with science questions.

C.It was best at understanding English.

D.It did better than other AI systems in similar tasks.

【3】The sixth paragraph mainly talks about how__________ .

A.Aristo teaches itselfB.Aristo reads English articles

C.Google developed BERTD.difficult it was to design Aristo

【4】What can be learned from Jingjing Liu's words?

A.AI will soon take the place of humans in many tasks.

B.Aristo still cannot compare to human reasoning skills.

C.Humans can't live without Al in the future.

D.Aristo can score more than 80 percent in a twelfth-grade exam.

The program started in 2010, and nobody expected it to be so popular. People really enjoyed watching the baking and the good atmosphere（氣氛） on the show. The competitors were all very friendly to each other, and even helped their opponents（對手）. This was very different from other reality TV shows. Some people think the show is typically British, with a good sense of humour and friendly people.

Since the show started, baking has become very popular in the UK. and many young people have started baking at home. Shops have sold lots of products for baking, like bowls and food mixers. More than 19 percent of British people bake at least once a week at home now.

Unfortunately for tans, the show is going to change next year and there will be new judges. Nobody knows if the new Great British Bake Off will be as popular as the original program. But, making cakes （and eating them!）will definitely continue to be popular with British people.

【1】The Great British Bake Off is a TV program that__________.

A.teaches people how to cookB.shows famous cooks

C.looks for good bakersD.describes British food

【2】On the TV program, the competitors_________.

Schoolwork can be stressful sometimes.【1】（especial）in the final year of junior school. Daily messes can pile up（堆積）and influence our health, so【2】（find）a good way to deal with pressure is important. I just discovered my new favorite method—the trampoline（蹦床）！

The door opens and you are【3】（amaze）to see people jumping and flying around like superheroes. The trampoline park is full of colorful inflatables（氣墊）. For【4】（begin）, it is the best area to start.

It was a little bit scary【5】the beginning, as we could hardly walk on the trampolines. But when I started to jump. I fell all the stresses leave my body. After jumping for a while, I【6】（lie） down and closed my eyes, imagining I had become a bird【7】could touch the sky.

There【8】（be）some other bouncing （彈跳）activities. My favorite one was the basketball dunking （扣籃）area. It included a full-height basketball hoop（圈）above runway trampolines. With the power of bouncing. I could dunk like【9】NBA superstar. It was not only relaxing, but also fun!

【10】outdoor activities are largely up to the weather, indoor trampoline parks are really good places to go whenever you want to have a good time.

A. Have relaxed side-by-side conversations.

B. Open up and show your human side.

C. Kid around.

D. Include them in decisions.

E. Encourage your child to take on challenges and find independence.

F. Review rules and increase privilege as your children get older.

The relationship between a parent and a child is among the most important in a person’s life. Do you know how to develop a good parent and child relationship.

【1】Let your kids know that things don't always have to be so serious between you. Of course, you want them to have your authority （權(quán)威），but you also want to laugh with them and join in their activities. A sense of fun can live up their lives and build fond memories.

【2】As your children age, it's important to review your rules and guidelines and change them as needed. Children need to see that you trust them with more responsibility as they age. However, this also may translate to more serious results when they break the rules.

【3】When your child has a strong relationship with you. they feel strong and proud to go out into the world and take on challenges. Be a supporter for your child, pushing them to develop greater independence over time.

【4】As your children mature, it’s okay to relax the parent hat a little and lei them have a look at the person underneath. In feet, showing your kids your human side can actually make lessons stronger. Use personal, age-proper stories to drive home ways your kids can learn and grow.

【5】Teens can easily become close with too much face-to-face communication. Make the pressure less by planning some of your talks in a similar position. Try asking your son about bullying （霸凌）at school when driving him to soccer practice. Ask your daughter about her new love interest when you are baking in the kitchen.

【1】As a saying goes, "Don't put all your eggs in one b____________.”

【2】Chinese people t___________their guests with a great meal.

【3】Sally is such a careful girl that she s___________makes spelling mistakes.

【4】Tea is p___________in many different areas in China.

【5】Nowadays it is c___________and cheap for us to ride a shared bike when going out.

【6】Tony is a quiet student, but he is always a___________in English classes.

【7】I don't think it necessary to k___________teenagers away from the Internet.

【8】The trade war between the two countries might last for a long p___________of time.

【9】Philip s___________her eyes and fell asleep soon.

【10】Mr. Smith showed the boys how to behave p___________ like a gentleman at the dinner table.
