One of China’s top technology companies is trying to push the artificial intelligence (人工智能,简称AI) by teaching computers to understand scenes from the 1990’s romance-disaster (灾难) Titanic.
The technology, from China company Sense Time, is supposed to distinguish (辨别) Titanic’s romantic scenes from disaster scenes. Although most humans would have no problem distinguishing Jack and Rose’s deep love from the Titantic’s sinking, the scene is highly complex for computers.
In a show at MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Digital meeting in San Francisco last Monday, the technology performed well and was able to sort the scenes correctly. It points out the progress of artificial intelligence, but also how far it still has to go before being able to understand more difficult movie scenes outside of public shows.
Dahua Lin, the director of a joint research lab between SenseTime and the Chinese University of Hong Kong where he’s also a professor, played a video of the scene from Titanic in which Jack gently holds Rose as she stands over the bow (船首) of the ship like she’s flying. Below the video was a small chart showing whether the company’s computers thought the scene was romantic or action – packed. After processing data, probably taken from thousands of videos and pictures stills in video clips (剪辑),the computer determined that the scene was more “romantic” than a “disaster”. Then later, when Lin showed the clip of the Titanic sinking, the computers quickly named the scene as more of a “disaster” than “romantic”.
【1】The underlined word “complex” in this passage probably means “_______”in Chinese.
A.高科技的 B.容易的 C.复杂的
【2】What’s the main idea of Paragraph Three?
A.The technology performed well in the show.
B.The technology can understand more difficult movie scenes outside of public shows.
C.Artificial intelligence has made great progress but still has a long way to go.
【3】Besides being a director, what other job does Dahua Lin have according to the passage?
A.A cleaner B.A professor C.An engineer
【4】How do the computers feel about the scene when Lin showed the clip of the Titanic sinking?
A.It is a romance. B.It is a disaster. C.It is neither a disaster nor a romance
【5】Where can you probably see this passage?
A.In a storybook. B.In a magazine about AI. C.In a travel magazine.

WeChat, China’s most popular mobile social app, used to be a place where people could connect with each other through sharing photos and texts, about their life in their friend circles, but now it is flooded with advertisements, showoffs, chicken-soup stories and even rumors (谣言).
In the age of social media, everyone is crazy about attention. When I first joined WeChat in 2011, like many people, I shared a lot of moments in my life. I felt like if I did not post something on my friend circle, I would feel less important in this world.
For years, I enjoyed it. It made me feel like I was more popular than I actually was in real life. However, when the number of my “friends” increased, it became a really bad dream.
WeChat’s friend circle has become such a sensitive (敏感的) place that it has started to make relationships among people become tense. One day when I called my high school friend and asked how she was doing, she was kind of upset that I did not pay much attention to her friend circle. “All my moments are listed there. You don’t even care about following me?” she questioned. Honestly, I had no interest in what everyone is doing every minute. But clearly, it is a big deal for some people.
“Why didn’t you like my post?” “Why can’t I see the moment you post? Did you keep me off?” “Why didn’t you reply to my comment?” “Can you please help me retweet (转发) this message?” These are the questions I always get.
I believe that the reason why WeChat is so widely used is that it shows the very Chinese way of social life —we are all connected in different social groups such as classmate groups, co-worker groups and neighborhood groups. In real life, many Chinese people are good at role playing in different groups, which is similar to WeChat. It is like the traditional face-changing in the Sichuan Opera. You have to say things differently in different groups.
It has been reported that more and more people are leaving the friend circle because they are annoyed. I finally left too. I need to start thinking of how to use social media by hiding myself just enough while my friends all stay interested in me at the same time.
【1】Which of the following is NOT what people used to do on WeChat?
A.Share photos. B.Share texts about life. C.Show off.
【2】What caused the writer to join WeChat in 2011?
A.The writer wanted to share something in his or her life.
B.The writer wanted to care about other people’s life.
C.The writer wanted to feel unimportant in this world.
【3】Why is WeChat so widely used according to the passage? Because ________.
A.the WeChat social groups can take the place of people’s real life.
B.it is a mini Chinese social life.
C.people feel happy all the time in WeChat.
【4】What does the writer think of the WeChat now?
A.Interesting B.Annoying C.Exciting
【5】What can you infer from the passage according to the writer?
A.WeChat is not very popular among people at all.
B.Some people are getting angry about the friend circle.
C.Many Chinese people are good at face-changing in Sichuan Opera.

阅读下面的短文,然后将画线部分的句子译成汉语或英语。
Making friends is a skill like many other skills. It improves with practice.45. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone. Join a club or a group. 46. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join some people in some activities. Many people are nervous when talking to strangers. After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown. 47. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. 48. 努力接受自己和让其他人感到舒适。You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person – friendship is developed on common liking and “give and take”. 49. 建立友谊需要时间和努力。
