A taxi driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to give training to company executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride.

I had flown into Dallas for the purpose of calling on a customer. Time was limited and my plan included a quick turn-around trip from and back to the airport. A spotless taxi pulled up. The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver’s seat, he mentioned that the neatly-folded Wall Street Journal next to me was for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy. I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, “Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell.”

“You bet,” he replied, “I used to be in Microsoft. But I got tired of it, thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my position in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be. I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, helping people and feeling like I have done a full day’s work and done it well. I thought about my personal strengths and ... wham! I became a taxi driver. One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to go above the customer’s expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being ‘great’ better than just getting by being ‘average’.”

24．What does the writer really want to say in Paragraph 1?

A．The writer thought the driver motivational.

C．Don’t expect too much in life. D．Every one of us has strengths.

C

Who is smarter? A human being or artificial intelligence（人工智能）?

The question swept the world last week when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player, South Korean Lee Se-del, 4-1.

So, what comes next?

Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or AI in short, will be a bad thing for humans. In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”

So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?

“Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it’s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.

“We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance（视觉平衡）, are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thomas Edison, founder of Motion Figures, a company that is bringing AI to boys, told the newspaper. “But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it’s really difficult to do.”

As The Economist put it, “We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.”

Meanwhile, John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.

“Our fate is in our own hands,” he wrote. “Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”

28．What was the result of the match?

A．Lee Se-del won AlphaGo 4-1. B．Lee Se-del was defeated.

C．Google program beat AlphaGo. D．Neither side won the match.

29．What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks?

A．It’s very hard for AI to beat the human brain.

B．AI would take the place of human beings.

C．AI can make various decisions quickly.

D．AI does better than humans in sight and balance.

30．Who believes much has to be done to improve AI?

A．Stephen Hawking. B．John Markoff.

C．The New York Times. D．The Economist.

31．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?

A．AI will improve the world completely. B．AI is in the control of human beings.

C．AI may bring disasters to human beings. D．AI will make our future out of control.

D

Humans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperatures（核心体温）in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity（湿度）.

In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia（低体温）, which is a life threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0°C. However, differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6°C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4°C. Below 29.4°C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6°C. This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7°C.

In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia. Life threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6-41.7°C. Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.

32．Why can humans keep stable body temperatures in different seasons?

A．Because their bodies are unusually efficient.

B．Because they experience different climates.

C．Because they can adjust to cultural patterns and technologies.

D．Because they have internal temperature regulating systems.

33．What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss?

A．The dangerous effects of hypothermia.

B．The change of body temperature.

C．The survival of the Swedish woman.

D．The regulating systems of natural temperature.

34．People are unlikely to survive under the body temperature .

A．higher than 34.4°C B．lower than 29.4°C

C．between 40.6-41.7°C D．between 34.4-37°C

35．What is the best title for
