2．It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son，Tenyson.As we were leaving，we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete.Her husband was with her，but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.
Walking towards the scene，Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.He said to me，"Mum，it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone."
At the front of the supermarket a charity（慈善） group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower."It will make her feel better，"he said.I was amazed that he'd come up with such a sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up."Just take it，"she replied."I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture."
By now paramedics（救援人員）had arrived，and were attending the injured woman.As we walked up to her，my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment.He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him，"My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better."
At that，the old man started crying and said，"Thank you so much，you have a wonderful son.Happy Mother's Day to you."The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower，telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken，the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

3．Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the enormous number of student questions in the online class，Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence.This online course is a core requirement of Georgia Tech's online Master of Science in Computer Science program.Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants，but that wasn't enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students.
Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support.When students feel confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered，their motivation to continue begins to fade.Professor Goel decided to do something to remedy （改進(jìn)） this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson，which is based on the IBM Watson platform.
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums.At first，the virtual assistant wasn't too great.But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40，000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched.Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers.After some adjustments and sufficient time，Jill was able to answer the students' questions correctly 97% of the time.The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn't know she was a computer.The students，who were studying artificial intelligence，were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn't tell it apart from a real human being.Goel didn't inform them about Jill's true identity until April 26.The students were actually very positive about the experience.
The goal of Professor Goel's virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum.The name Jill Watson will，of course，change to something else next semester.Professor Goel has a much more hopeful outlook on the future of artificial intelligence than，say，Elon Musk，Stephen Hawking，Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak.
（1）Professor Goel created a virtual teaching assistant because.
A．his course was not interesting enough
B．he felt confused about how to teach online

（2）What do we learn about.Jill Watson？
A．She turned out to be a great success.
B．She was unwelcome to students at first.
C．Her true identity was still a secret to students.
D．Her name will be kept for the next virtual assistant.
（3）What does Professor Goel plan to do next with Jill Watson？
A．Replace her with different versions.
B．Enable her to answer more questions.
C．Recommend her to some famous people.
D．Equip her with new questions and answers.
（4）What's the main idea of the text？

I handed the card from my school's help-wanted board to the man behind the counter of Mort's Deli（熟食店）at the Farmers Market in Los Angeles.Even before opened my mouth，he was shaking his head.
It was September 1957，and my family had just arrived in California.My father only got work two or three days week.Our poor savings were gone，and as the eldest boy of the family，I was the only one able to help.
"Let me work the rest of the week，and if you don't like the way I do the job，don't pay me." I said.The tall man stared at me，and then nodded， "I'm Mort Robin.What's your name？"
At Mort's，I worked very hard.Near the end of the day he called me up to him. "How much did that card at school say this job paid？" he asked. "One dollar an hour，" I whispered.Actually I was willing to take less.
"That's not enough for someone who works as hard as you，" Mort said. "You start at ﹩1.25." Over the next few weeks learned lot about Mort.A few years older than my dad，he was from Chicago and had a daughter of my age.When things were slow，he often shared stories from his army days.Our store was closed on Sundays，so every Saturday evening Mort urged me to take home the leftover soup.It was a meal in itself，but a treat for my struggling family.
One Saturday after work，I was about to step in my house when saw a large bald man in my father's chair.He was cursing at my father.I quietly walked into the kitchen and listened through the door.The man wanted to take our car I had been in Los Angeles just long enough to understand how essential a car was.Dad offered to make the three payments that were due，but the man demanded the entire sum-﹩325-or the car.
I slipped out of the door，thinking：Who might have﹩325？Who would even consider lending me so much money？
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式作答。
The only person I could think of was Mort.______________________
I calmly handed the man the money.______________________組卷：3引用：1難度：0.6
