A
Many people think artificial intelligence(AI) is a thing from the future. But in fact, AI is already here — and many of us benefit from it every day without even knowing it. Probably the best example of this would be Siri, a virtual assistant created by Apple in 2011. It won over Apple fans with its ability to recognize a user’s voice and do certain things for the user. For example, you can tell Siri “call mom” and the software will dial your mom’s phone number. Another example of virtual assistants is Alexa, created by Amazon. It can be used to order food, schedule meetings, and even control the lights in your room.
But how will we use AI in our daily lives in the future The possibilities are endless. Perhaps the most exciting possibility is driverless cars. The first automated car was developed in 1977. It was able to track street markers using two cameras and a computer. Since then, dozens of companies have tried to develop their own cars, including Tesla, Google and Baidu. Developments like these are a sign that AI will become increasingly important in the future.
AI is set to benefit humans in many ways. And yet, like any other technology, AI will also bring risks. AI hackers(黑客) can get your information easily, such as your QQ number, phone number and even your bank card password. People are also losing jobs to AI. AI workers never get tired. While you relax, they keep working. Many companies want to hire AI instead of humans. AI may take over about 47% of jobs in the US, scientists say. Smart machines can easily become bank clerk, translators and dishwashers.
( )21. What do we know about Siri
A. It came out in 2001. B. It can recognize a user’s voice. C. It is a human assistant.
( )22. What can Alexa NOT do
A. It can order food. B. It can schedule meetings. C. It can track street markers.
( )23. The following companies are developing driverless cars EXCEPT _______.
A. Apple. B. Baidu. C. Google.
( )24. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. How companies develop AI
B. How AI benefits people’s lives.
C. What risks AI brings to people.
( )25. What is the writer’s opinion about AI
A. AI brings humans more worries than benefits.
B. AI will become more and more important.
C. AI will take over most of the humans’ jobs.

Mom and Dad—they’re two of the most important people in your life. You probably see at least one of them every day and, over your lifetime, they may influence you more than anyone else you will meet.
Moms and Dads need to care for their kids from the minute they’re born. It’s a parent’s job to love and help kids — and most parents will do this as possible as they can, even when the “kids” grow up and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad.
Here are some ways you can stay close, get along, and build a strong relationship(关系): Spend time together. Don’t play a computer game or watch TV by yourself. Ask your mom and dad to play with you, go outside together, or read a book out loudly. Try to spend more time together.
Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re unhappy. Tell them if you’re sad or have a problem. They’ll be happy to help you.
Be kind and caring. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten your parent’s day with a hug, a card or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. It’s important to show that you care for each other. Kids and parents show their love by respecting(尊重) each other, and being caring, polite and thoughtful.
Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you, re turning into a great kid. Why Because it lets them know you, re doing a good job.

Ⅳ. 任务型阅读 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
Most American families are smaller than the families in other countries. Most American families have one or two parents and one or two children each. Children in the USA will leave their parents’ home when they grow up. They usually live far from their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often write to their parents or telephone them. And they often go to visit their parents on holidays.
Parents usually let their children choose their own jobs. Americans think it is important for young people to decide on their lives by themselves. Children are asked to do some work around their house. And in many families, children are paid for doing some housework so that they can learn how to make money for their own use.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today my topic is Learning to get along with our parents.
These days, most of us feel it is hard to get along with our parents. We easily get angry for no reason and even don’t talk to them for days. I think the causes are as follows. Firstly, our parents only care about our marks and it makes us stressed. Secondly, we are unwilling to communicate with them.
It's time for us to change. First, we can communicate with them by sharing our joys and worries with them. Then, we can help do some housework to show our love for them. Finally, we should achieve a balance between our school work and hobbies so that they won't feel worried about us.
That's all for my speech. Thank you!
