三、 阅读理解
21. At the end of the spring semester in May,students taking Georgia Tech’s online Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence course received some surprising news.Jill Watson,one of the nine teaching assistants (TAs) that had helped them finish the challenging course for the past five months was not a “she” but an “it”—an intelligent robot!
Watson is the brainchild of Ashok Goel,who teaches the popular online course.The Professor of Computer and Cognitive Science in the School of Interactive Computing came up with the idea as a way to deal with the number of questions posed by students in the online forums(论坛).According to Goel,every time the course is offered,the 300 or so students that enroll post over 10,000 questions.The questions are often repetitive.This led Goel to wonder if a smart robot would handle the questions which require standard responses—things like dates when assignments are due.
Having worked with IBM’s Watson technology platform in the past,the professor knew it would be ideal for his artificial TA:Jill Watson.The artificial intelligence system that uses natural language processing and machine learning to analyze large amounts of data has even been cleverer than human competitors on the television show.It would therefore easily be able to handle routine questions that required little “thinking”.
The professor and his team of graduate students began by populating Jill’s memory with 40,000 questions and answers from past terms.Then came the testing stage.At first,Jill was not very good and often gave strange answers.It often got stuck on certain keywords.By the end of the semester,Jill had attained enough knowledge and skills to participate in forums without any management from Goel,or the other assistants.
28.What surprised the students who take the online course?
A.The course was interesting but challenging.
B.A teaching assistant wasn’t a real person.
C.Jill Watson is a hard-working TA.
D.They all failed to pass their course.
29.What’s the best title for the text?
A.A Robot of Georgia gives an online course
B.Ashok Goel Came up with the Idea of Jill Watson
C.Jill Watson—One of the Nine Teaching Assistants
D.Georgia Tech’s Teaching Assistant Turn Out to Be a Robot
30.Why did Goel decide to invent a smart robot?
A.A number of students took his online course.
B.A smart robot is cleverer than a human being.
C.Too many similar questions are to be dealt with.
D.A smart robot could be easily controlled by him.
31.What can we infer from the text?
A.Students should deal with routine questions.
B.Jill is mainly in charge of posting surprising news.
C.The TAs give students homework at a certain time.
D.Goel is satisfied with Jill’s present performance.

22. Career building is an ongoing activity. Planning and goal setting are part of career building, but so is adjusting and taking advantage of things that happen in an unplanned way. Our dreams and desires, as well as the opportunities open to us, are changing all the time. Sometimes, they can change dramatically over a short period of time.
Dealing with change often requires taking your career in a different direction. Therefore, most people’s career paths wind up looking more like a forest path or the course of a river than a straight flight path from point A to Point B. Career paths tend to meander. Just as a river must take an indirect path to get round hills and other obstacles（障碍）, we often have to do a little meandering to get round barries. We also meander simply to explore various career posibilities.
This doesn’t mean that you should wander aimlessly for the rest of your life! It doesn’t mean that, although career building gives you an overall sense of direction, it is responsible to expect that you’ll have to take some meandering along the way.
Career building involves maneuvering as well as meandering. To maneuver is to be focused and strategic（策略的）, to decide what you want and how you are going to get there. Believe it or not, you can maneuver and meander at the same time. In fact, you have probably already done so. For example, if you have ever sent in an application form for an education program or job before you are really sure you want your application to be accepted, you have taken action on a plan while you are still exploring other posibilities. In other words, you are maneuvering and meandering at the same time.

45. This passage is mainly to ______________.
A. tell you how to gain more control over your life
B. give you a better understanding of yourself
C. show you how to take an active role in planning your career
D. help you to deal with things that happen in an unplanned way
46. The underlined word “meaander” in paragraph 2 most probably means ________.
A. move away           B. go round                  C. get through        D. run over
47. What can we learn from the passage?
A. There are seldom straight lines in the course of career building.
B. Career path is like a flight path from point A to point B.
C. Most of our dreams and desires change in a short time.
D. More than half of us have to change our career directions.
48. When you are hunting for a job, you are supposed to _________.
A. take your career in different directions
B. avoid exploring various career posibilities
C. change your dreams and desires now and then
D. know your goal and try all possible ways to achieve it
