17．If a friend does a big favor for us，it's a good idea to write them a thank-you note．But how many of us actually sit down to do this？
"People don't seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often，" Amit Kumar from University of Texas said．Why are people hesitant （猶豫的） about sending thank-you notes？And how do people feel when they receive one？
Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person via email．Then，they asked both the writer and the recipient （接受者） how sending or receiving these notes made them feel．
They found that the students didn't like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much about them．They worried about what to say and how to say it．The recipients，however，enjoyed the notes． "When you are a recipient，you focus on the warmth of the note，" Kumar says． "How heartfelt was it？How friendly and warm？"
The writers also thought it might be awkward （尷尬的） for the recipient to receive a thank-you note．But this was not the case． "They （recipients） feel quite happy，" Kumar says． "They don't really feel awkward at all．"
If people knew that writing a thank-you note could have such a big impact （影響） on others，they would do it more often，Kumar says．"Simple，small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference in how we treat other people and how we feel，" he says．

18．How are humans different from other animals on Earth？We have always thought of ourselves as being smarter and more advanced （先進(jìn)的）．But with the development of AI，this question becomes more complicated （復(fù)雜的）．
In October 2017，a robot called Sophia was made a Saudi Arabian citizen and became the first robot to have a nationality．Sophia can talk with humans．This has led to some questions，such as whether intelligent robots should have the same rights as humans．
Of course，AI is still a long way from being able to have feelings the way humans do．The question of whether AI should have rights or not might be a bit silly right now．But we should keep in mind that AI can learn both the good and bad things that humans teach it．
For example，in 2016，Microsoft introduced Tay- a computer program that could talk to people on social media （社交媒體）．Tay learned how to talk with humans by reading the things they wrote online．Within 24 hours，Tay went from writing polite replies to making rude comments．It learned to "say" these rude things from real humans．
In the future，we may need to program AI with a sense of morality （道德）．Morals are what make us different from other animals．AI can do many of the same things we do，such as drive cars or order food．But it cannot tell the difference between right and wrong．It cannot feel sadness or joy．It cannot tell beauty．And that is the difference between us and the machines．
（1）The robot Sophia is different from other robots because．
A．it is more advanced
B．it has a nationality
C．it is the first AI robot
D．it can talk to humans
（2）The author doesn't think intelligent robots should have the same rights as humans，because．
A．AI can learn better and faster than humans
B．AI will never become a powerful form of life on Earth
C．AI can't have feelings the way humans do at present
D．Some intelligent robots made rude comments on humans
（3）The author wanted to show thatby mentioning Tay．
A．AI can make friends on social media
B．AI can learn how to talk with the help of humans
C．intelligent robots have the same rights as humans
D．AI can learn bad things that humans teach it
（4）In what ways humans are different from intelligent robots？
A．Human beings can tell good from evil．
B．Humans can think and value．
C．Humans are smarter and more advanced
D．Humans all have a high sense of morality．
（5）What is the main idea of Paragraph 5？
A．AI can feel emotions the way humans do．
B．AI is still quite different from humans．
C．AI technology is good enough now．
D．People can benefit a lot from AI．組卷：15引用：1難度：0.4

56．AI is already common in our daily lives．We are already using it on our smart phones，tablets and other digital devices．（1）
The best example of this would be voice-activated assistants．（2）For example，you can tell Siri "call mom" or "set a timer for 10 minutes"，and the software will do these things for you．
Over time，virtual assistants like Siri have become more advanced．Alexa，a virtual assistant created by Amazon，can be used to order food，schedule （安排） meetings，and even control （控制） the lights in your home．
（3）The possibilities are quite endless．Perhaps the most exciting possibility is driverless cars．
Researchers have been working on self-driving cars for quite some time now，in fact．The first automated car was developed in 1977． （4）Since then，many companies have tried to develop their own cars，including Tesla，Google and Baidu．
（5）A．But how will we use AI in our daily lives in the future？
B．Self-driving cars are expected to change the way we get around．
C．It was able to track street markers using two cameras and a computer．
D．Developments like these are a sign that AI will become increasingly important in our daily lives in the future．
E．It might not be as exciting as the AI of science fiction，but it is more useful in our daily life．
F．Siri，a voice assistant created by Apple，was released in 2011．It won over Apple fans with its ability to recognize a user's voice and complete actions．
G．Apple has Siri，Google has Google Assistant，and Microsoft has Cortana．Amazon's Alexa now dominates the market as the most popular voice assistant．組卷：10引用：1難度：0.4
