A strange object was found in a small city called Carlos Spegazzini, just a short drive from the capital city of Buenos Aires.
When farmer Jose first found an odd scene in his farmland, he began to dig at the object. However, he quickly found himself running to tell his wife. Jose needed more support if he was going to investigate this strange thing.
Even the dog was hesitant to investigate. Unfamiliar with the object, man’s best friend was not about to jump at it with little concern. Therefore, they chose to call in somebody who has a better idea of what to do.
When the police first showed up, they were just as stumped as Jose. They knew this object was something out of the ordinary. It might even be something extraordinary, so more questions appeared.
It quickly became apparent, it was time to call in the big guys. That’s right; when you find something that appears to be out-of-this-world, it’s time to call in those who study the mysteries of the old world.
Authorities called in archaeologists who jumped at the chance to study the object. They quickly determined one thing was for certain: the ancient big one that left this behind was absolutely massive!

Once upon a time there was an exhibition on fine sculptures in the open air. Before it was open to the public, several well-known sculptors were invited to visit and show their opinions. There was a tent covering each sculpture. When they were approaching the first sculpture, a top assistant went over in advance to draw the first tent away. A big cluster (团) of beautiful peach blossoms appeared in front of them. The sculpture was really true to life. At the moment some bees flew over and then
stopped on the flowers on seeing them to gather honey. All the sculptors thought highly of the first sculpture.
Then the assistant uncovered the second tent, and they saw a big piece of meat standing there. A dog nearby began to bark slavering (流口水). All the sculptors cheered. They all said that it was more excellent, because it confused the dog, to put it another way, the dog also took the sculpture for a real one and was dying to eat it.
Then they would come to the third sculpture. Walking ahead, the assistant was going to draw the tent as he did before. As soon as he touched the tent, he cried all of a sudden, “Wonderful! It’s the best sculpture indeed I have ever seen.”

AI is like the Wild West right now. No company wants to be left behind, and whether it’s by optimizing (优化) their hardware for AI processing or using machine learning to speed up tasks, every major brand has invested heavily in artificial intelligence. AI spread to all aspects of our lives in 2017, but the revolution is only just beginning.
This year, AI got so smart that computers beat humans at Poker and Go, earned a perfect Ms. Pac Man score and even kept up with experienced Super Smash Bros, players. People started using
AI in medicine to predict diseases and other medical conditions, as well as spot suicidal users on social networks. AI also began to compose music and write movie scripts.
Everywhere you look, there’s someone trying to add AI to something.
Eventually, every industry and every aspect of our lives — from shopping in a mall to riding a self-driving car — will be transformed through AI.
Stores will know our tastes, sizes and habits and use that information to serve us deals or show us where to find what we might be looking for. Cars will be smart enough to avoid obstructions and use machine-learning to better recognize dangers and drive around them. Even your doctors will soon rely on AI to classify X-rays, MRI scans and other medical images, cutting down the time involved in diagnosing (诊断) a patient.
AI is already prevalent in image-recognition, and it will soon become even more available. Home-security cameras are already getting better at distinguishing between individual humans, dogs, cats and cars. Don’t be surprised if this is ultimately used in law enforcement to look for potential criminals or missing persons.
In 2017, the AI took over gained momentum (推动力).Next year, we’ll start to see more powerful AI that might actually change the way we live. It might not happen right away, but soon AI will run our lives.
32. From the first paragraph, we know that ________.
A. The Wild West means that there is no chance.
B. Optimizing the hardware is the only way 〇f speeding up tasks.
C. Every big company has poured lots of money into AI industry.
D. The development of AI will be less and less.
33. Which could not show that AI got so smart this year?
A. AI could treat diseases and other medical conditions.
B. Computers beat humans in every competition.
C. AI also began to compose music and write movie scripts.
D. AI could spot suicidal users on social networks.
34. What do you think will be transformed possibly through AI in the future?
A. Stores will collect their guests’ information and sell them.
B. Care will be smart enough to avoid dangers.
C. Doctors will rely on AI to do the operations.
D. AI will tell humans from dogs, cats and rats.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

Dear Peter,
I’m very glad to receive your letter. You said your dream is to design and build the most advanced smart house. Now, let me show you what my dream is.
Since I was a little boy, I have learned to sing and practiced hard. And I’m going to combine different styles of music together to create a new one. So, I’m always dreaming of holding my own unique concert to show my music talent. What’s more, during the concert, I will make use of the high-tech methods to acquire fantastic special effects on stage and make the stage design extremely extraordinary, which will make a deep impression on the audience. Of course, I know it is my brilliant music and quite good songs that will show I am a real performer.
What do you think of my dream?
Yours,
Li Hua
