二、阅读理解
A robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.
According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the world’s first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable.” The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.
Before becoming a student, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry s classes for several years. One day when addressing Barry’s class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesn’t understand，said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his
students to teach Bina48 what love is.
“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is “fairly simple — it’s a feeling,” said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry，highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working artificial intelligence in future.
Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point. Bina48’s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.
In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely.
21．What was Bina48’s performance like in class? A. Extraordinary. B. Insignificant. C. Far-reaching. D. Unattractive.
22．What does the underlined word “addressing” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Dealing with. B. Consulting with. C. Giving a speech to. D. Sending a letter to. 23．What can we learn from the passage? A. It was interesting for Bina48 to learn about love. B. It was quite tough for Bina48 to learn about love. C. Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man. D. Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence. 24．What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48? A. It will surely be able to serve as a teacher. B. It will be able to promote learning and teaching. C. It will completely take the place of instructors. D. It will be smart enough to control human beings.
There’s no doubt that water is vital to any life. About 60 percent of the average adult human body is made of water. This includes most of your brain, heart, lungs, muscles and skin, and even about 30 percent of your bones. Yet there’s little scientific agreement about the exact amount of the stuff an individual should consume each day. So how much water do you actually need to drink to be healthy?
You may have heard that you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Yet, the downside of this rule, researchers say, is that drinking water by the glass is not the only way that humans take in it. The “8 X 8” rule essentially overlooks two big sources of daily water consumption. One such source is food. Everything you eat contains some water. Watermelons, for example, are more than 90 percent water by weight. Different diets naturally contain different amounts of waters, and the counts. The other key water sources are other beverages. Non-alcoholic drinks such as coffee, and tea, contain mostly water and all contribute to your hydration（水量）.
[]So, between all the food, water and other fluids you consume in a day, how much water should you aim to take in?
The National Academics of Sciences suggests that woman consume a total of approximately 2.7 liters (91 ounces) of warm from all beverages and foods each day and men 3.7 liters (125 ounces). But these are just general guidelines.
The truth is, there is no magic standard for hydration—everyone’s need vary depending on their age, weight, level of physical activity, general health and even the climate they live in. The more water you lose, the more water you’ll need to replace with food and drink. If you are looking for concrete advice, though, the best place to look is within. Drink up when you’re thirsty.
25．How does the author support the underlined sentence in Para 1? A. By providing facts. B. By asking a question. C. By making a comparison. D. By putting forward suggestions.
26．According to the “8 X 8” rule, how much water should we take in a day? A. 8 ounces B. 64 ounces C. 91 ounces D. 125 ounces
