The Master of Arts Program in the Humanities（MAPH）at the University of Chicago is designed to allow you the freedom to either focus on one academic discipline or explore interdisciplinary（跨学科的）interests that may not fit well within a traditional MA program. This advantage, combined with our strong support, can help you take the next step in your professional and academic life in a short amount of time — more than 90% of our students graduate in 9 months.
The Value of This MA Program
Master’s degrees, obtained after finishing MA programs, have become increasingly common for admission to PhD programs and it is not unusual for an MA degree to serve as a requirement for entry into many professional fields. MAPH also allows students to complete intensive academic work and prepares them to continue into further graduate study or a career that much faster.
Academic Support
MAPH students are provided with academic guidance from the moment they arrive on campus. Most often this support comes from the following sources:
·All MAPH students take a required fall quarter course taught by the MAPH Director.
·Students are placed in groups of 10-12 and work closely with an assigned post-doctoral Instructional Professor or Teaching Fellow throughout the year.
·Over the winter and spring quarters, MAPH students work closely with a faculty member who has agreed to serve as their thesis advisor.
·Three MAPH Mentors, recent MAPH graduates who work as staff members, are available to meet with students to discuss course selection.
1．What is the highlight of the MAPH
A．Interest. B．Expertise. C．Discipline. D．Flexibility.
2．What is the potential use of obtaining the MAPH
A．Pursuing a profitable career.
B．Applying for a PhD program.
C．Publishing loads of paper work.
D．Choosing undergraduate study.
3．What kind of support is available for all MAPH students
A．Course by the director of the program.
B．Group work with the MAPH director.
C．Advice on thesis writing in fall quarter.
D．Help with course books from Mentors.

Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems is to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080．Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning.
Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know then no longer exist. The institution is abolished as it is widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit.
Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged（利用）as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shems y naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity.
We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve, and how does it transform our societies
4．What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A．There are different types of education.
B．The present education needs improvements.
C．Education and economy are closely associated.
D．The goal of future education is fundamentally different.
5．What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to
A．It accepts students of all ages. B．It promotes competition.
C．It discourages individualized learning. D．It is all about play-based learning.
6．What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Tough. B．Satisfactory. C．Optional. D．Required.
7．What is the suitable title for the text
A．An Example to All B．A Vision for Education
C．A Challenge for Education D．A Journey into the Future
C
The words “caring” and “empathetic”（共情的）aren’t ones normally associated with technology. Yearsley, an Australian enterpriser who is expert in artificial intelligence（AI）, is trying to change that.
Yearsley is the founder of Akin, a robotics startup that currently uses a tablet-based system to help users manage the tasks related to home life, whether that’s planning meals or reminding you to pay your cell phone bill. Current home devices made by Google or Amazon or Apple use predictive AI to track patterns, strengthen behaviors and manipulate（操控）buying decisions, some of which, she assumes, are questionable or just unhealthy.
In contrast, the AI that she is developing will be designed to run the human home, encouraging healthful decisions such as taking a nightly walk, refilling the fridge and supporting social interactions like lunches or birthday celebrations with friends. “It’s the hardest AI I have ever built for it’s a complex system,” Yearsley says.
Yearsley began developing the Akin technology in 2017, when she realized the need to better manage the home is hugely ignored. Besides, she realized that women unequally bear the burden of household work. A United Nations report estimates that women do 2.6 times the amount of unpaid care and domestic work that men do, or close to 30 hours per week in the U. S. alone.
While Yearsley pictures an army of robots someday helping with routine homemade tasks, the first display for Akin will take time and money. Akin has received some early seed money from a handful of investors, and was recently selected as a finalist for tech giant LG Nova’s Mission for the Future program, an annual challenge that seeks to identify businesses having potential to improve life and lead society into the future.
8．What might the Akin’s AI system suggest
A．Consuming more drinks to enjoy yourself.
B．Staying up late working to make more money.
C．Spending more time staying with your family.
D．Purchasing products that may attract you.
9．What made Yearsley develop the Akin’s AI system
A．The high cost of current home devices.
B．Akin’s becoming a finalist for a program.
C．Financial support from investors.
D．Heavy burden of housewives.
10．What can be used to describe the Akin’s AI system
A．Popular and promising. B．Stable and secure.
C．Thoughtful and innovative. D．Mature and ideal.
11．What’s the purpose of the text
A．To introduce a futuristic AI system.
B．To compare two companies’AI systems.
C．To call on people to care about housewives.
D．To seek support for an AI expert.
D
Would a person born blind, who has learned to distinguish objects by touch, be able to recognize them purely by sight if he regained the ability to see The question, known as Molyneux’s problem, is about whether the human mind has a built-in concept of shapes that is so inborn that a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored vision. Alternatively, the concepts of shapes are not in born but have to be learned by exploring an object through sight, touch and other senses.
After their attempt to test it in blind children failed, Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University of London and his team carried out another experiment on bumblebees. To test whether bumblebees can form an internal representation of objects, they first trained the insects to distinguish globes from cubes using a sugar reward. The bees were first trained in the light, where they could see but not touch the objects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they could touch but not see the items. The researchers found that the insects spent more time in contact with the shape they had been trained to associate with the sugar reward, even though they had to rely on touch rather than sight to distinguish the objects.
The researchers also did the opposite test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able to recognize the shape associated with the sugar reward, though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in the test. In short, bees have solved Molyneux’s problem because the fact suggests that they can picture object features and access them through sight or touch.
However, some experts express their warnings against the result. Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of science, cautions that the bees may have had prior experience association visual and tactile（触觉）information about straight edges and curved surfaces in their nests.
12．What is Molyneux’s problem about
A．Whether mankind’s sense of touch outweighs sight.
B．Whether mankind’s idea of shape is inborn or learned.
C．Whether blind people can identify the shape of an item.
D．Whether the blind can regain their sense of touch after recovery.
13．How did Lars Chittka and his colleagues try to figure out Molyneux’s problem
A．By experimenting on blind children.
B．By conducting controlled experiments.
C．By rewarding bumblebees with sugar.
D．By observing bumblebees in their nests.
14．What is Jonathan Birch’s attitude towards the conclusion of the bee experiments
A．Skeptical. B．Supportive. C．Dismissive. D．Ambiguous.
15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A．Scientists Found Senses Matter
B．Visual-Tactile Puzzle Has Been Solved
C．Experiments Will Help the Blind Regain Sight
D．Bumblebees May Help Solve Molyneux’s Problem

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Being the youngest in my family has had its advantages, of course. But being the youngest also came with its fair share of troubles. I was often told what I couldn’t do and why. I knew that my family loved me. They always tried to protect me, help me and take care of me, but I couldn’t wait to show them I could do things by myself.
It was a hot day in Florida. The school year had just ended and it was time for summer vacation. We had just gotten a little black dog who we named One-Eyed.
Everybody wanted to do something for the dog: feed him, teach him tricks and take long walks with him. Everybody was so happy to have this little active, playful new addition to our family. I was so desperate to pet One-Eyed myself, too.
Every time I asked my brother or my sister if I could do that, they would shout, “No!” or tell me that I had germs（细菌）. Once, they even convinced me that I had so many germs and that if I touched One-Eyed he would die! I really believed them and was scared that something terrible would happen to the dog. Once I even confessed to my mom that I touched the dog when no one noticed. At first, my mom seemed very confused about what I was telling her, but then she realized that they were playing a joke on me to keep me away from the dog. My mom criticized my brother and sister, “You’d better stop teasing your little brother!” Little brother! That’s exactly what I was. That really got my blood boiling.
The depression built up inside me as I watched them enjoy their time with One-Eyed, excluding me from the joyous moments. I knew I was capable of taking care of myself and forming my own connection with our new lovely friend. Determination filled my heart, fueling a newfound sense of independence.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was to prove to everyone I could pet and play with One-Eyed.Seeing this, my brother and sister couldn’t believe their eyes.

I was to prove to everyone I could pet and play with One-Eyed. Determined, I approached One-Eyed slowly, extending my hand towards him. As I got closer, the dog wagged his tail and looked up at me, as if he knew I was about to do something brave. Taking a deep breath, I gently placed my hand on his furry head. The moment our skin touched, I felt an incredible rush of joy and excitement. One-Eyed didn’t seem bothered at all; in fact, he seemed to enjoy the attention. It was as if a bond had instantly formed between us.
Seeing this, my brother and sister couldn’t believe their eyes. Their jaws dropped in astonishment. “You did it!” My sister exclaimed, her voice filled with awe. My brother, still in disbelief, stammered, “But…but we told you all those things!” I smiled triumphantly, realizing that I had proven them wrong. “You see,” I said confidently, “I am capable of doing things on my own. And just because I’m the youngest doesn’t mean I can’t take care of myself and be responsible.” Being the youngest had its challenges, but it also shaped me into the resilient, determined person I am today. And I will forever be grateful to One-Eyed for showing me that age and size don’t define one’s abilities.
