Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There's never a stage at which the system knows what it's talking about.”What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that's why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.21. Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?A. To explain the use of a software program.       B. To show the cleverness of Project Debater.C. To introduce the designer of Project Debater.    D. To emphasize the fairness of the competition.22. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Arguments.      B. Doubts.       C. Errors.       D. Differences.23. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?A. Create rules.    B. Comprehend meaning.    C. Talk fluently.      D. Identify difficult words.24. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed.C. Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.BAfter years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.    Together, these deep human urges（驱策力） count for much more than ambition.Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?” Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.“The great man,” said Mencius（孟子）, “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied. Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake. How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.     One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.25. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to          .A. propose a definition               B. make a comparison  C. reach a conclusion               D. present an argument26. What does the example of Galileo tell us?A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.   B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.C. Creativity results from challenging authority.   D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.27. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?A. Observe the unknown around you.          B. Develop a questioning mind.C. Lead a life of adventure.                  D. Follow the fashion.28. What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7?A. Gaining success helps you become an expert.B. The genius tends to get things done creatively.C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.D. You should remain modest when approaching perfection.29. What could be the best title or the passage?A. Curious Minds Never Feel Contented         B. Reflections on Human NatureC. The Keys to Achievement                  D. Never Too Late to Learn第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Albert Einstein held a small, round instrument with a glass cover and a shaking needle in his palm.   30   Albert’s father called it a compass. Albert called it a mystery. No matter how he moved the compass, the needle always pointed to the north.Something was in the room with him, Albert realized — something he couldn’t see or feel, but that acted on the compass just the same. Puzzled and attracted, Albert listened to his father explain magnetism (磁力), the strange force that made the compass needle point north.   31   To many children the compass would have been just another toy. To Albert the compass was a miracle he would never forget.  32   Born on March 14, 1879, Albert hadn’t looked like other babies. As she cradled her new son in her arms, Pauline Einstein thought the back of his head looked strange. Was something wrong with Albert? Although the doctor told Pauline everything was fine, several weeks passed before the shape of Albert’s head began to look right to her. When Albert was one, his family moved to Munich, where his sister, Maja, was born a year later.   33   Where were the baby’s wheels? The disappointed two-year-old wanted to know. Albert had expected a baby sister to be something like a toy, and most of his toys had wheels.At an age when many children have lots to say, Albert seemed strangely backward. The nine-year-old still had trouble putting his thoughts into words.But Albert was a good listener and a good thinker. When he went hiking with his parents and Maja, he thought about his father’s compass and what it had revealed to him. The clear, open grasslands were filled with more than the wind or the pleasant smell of flowers.   34   The very thought of it quickened his pulse.A. They were also filled with magnetism.B. Albert had always been different from other children.C. The five-year-old stared at his hand as if it held magic.D. The invisible force makes the compass more than a toy to all.E. Looking down at the tiny sleeping parcel, Albert was puzzled.F. Somewhere, the wind, soft and magic, clicked through tree branches.G. But nothing he said made the invisible power less mysterious or wonderful. 第三部分　完形填空  (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The Nobel Prize is considered one of the most recognizable and admirable awards possible,   35   people of the world for their outstanding achievements in different fields.Alfred Nobel was born in 1833 to a family of engineers in Sweden.
