问答题 1. 
【正确答案】我们知道我们面临诸多全球挑战:气候变化、核扩散、恐怖主义、令人羞愧的贫穷,要解决所有这些问题,离不开繁荣富强的中国的积极参与。正如30年前中国决定在世界舞台上占有一席之地那样,拥抱数字化对今日中国至关重要。今日之中国有机会开启数字化的大门。媒体如何改变?中国媒体如何利用这样的变革?
   中国的媒体和娱乐公司拥有绝佳机会提升他们的国际影响和营收。中国政府最近也认识到了这种可能性。我真诚期待这样的竞争。但我担心的是,那些有创造力的公司在全球的竞争能力可能会因国内知识产权保护不利而受损。有些很棒的媒体公司正在中国崛起,但盗版却使它们很难/无法在国内牟利/取得足够的利润。
【答案解析】[听力原文]
   We understand that none of the big global challenges we face—climate change, nuclear proliferation, terrorism, humiliating poverty—can be solved without the active engagement of a prosperous and successful China. And the embrace of the digital is as vital to China today as its decision thirty years ago to take its place in the global economy. China now has a chance to open its digital door. How is media being transformed? And how can the Chinese media take advantage of that transformation?
   Chinese media and entertainment companies have a remarkable opportunity to expand their international influence and revenues. That possibility was recognized in recent days by the Chinese government. I genuinely look forward to that competition, but I fear the ability of creative companies to prosper globally could be undermined by a lack of intellectual property protection domestically. There are impressive media companies emerging in China, but piracy will make it difficult for them to generate the profits at home.
问答题 2. 
【正确答案】我所担心的并不是人工智能能够像人一样思考,我更担心的是人们像计算机一样思考,没有价值观,没有同情心,没有对结果的敬畏之心。这就是为什么我们需要你们这样的毕业生,来帮助我们预防这种情况发生。因为科学就像在黑暗中的探索一样,人性就像是烛光,照亮我们走过的地方和前路的艰险。
   乔布斯曾经说过,技术本身是不够的,一定要让技术与充满人性的人文结合起来,才可以让我们充满欢乐。当你将人处于核心位置的时候,就会产生巨大影响力,比如说使用iPhone手机,可以使盲人跑马拉松,使用苹果手表可以发现心脏异常,从而预防心脏病发作。简而言之,这意味着与价值观相融合的技术,可以惠及所有人。
【答案解析】[听力原文]
   I'm not worried about artificial intelligence giving computers the ability to think like humans. I'm more concerned about people thinking like computers without values or compassion, without concern for consequences. That is what we need you graduates to help us guard against. Because if science is a search in the darkness, then the humanities are a candle that shows us where we've been and the danger that lies ahead.
   As Steve once said, technology alone is not enough. It is technology married with the liberal arts married with the humanities that make our hearts sing. When you keep people at the center of what you do, it can have an enormous impact. It means an iPhone that allows the blind person to run a marathon. It means an Apple Watch that catches a heart condition before it becomes a heart attack. In short, it means technology infused with your values, making progress possible for everyone.
