填空题
Will humans always be superior to machines?
This statement actually consists of a series of three related claims: (1)
machines are tools of human minds; (2) human minds will always be superior to
machines; and (3) it is because machines are human 'tools that human minds will
always be superior to machines. While I concede the first claim, whether I agree
with the other two claims depends partly on how one defines "superiority," and
partly on how willing one is to humble oneself to the unknown future
scenarios. (41) After all, would any machine even exist unless a
human being invented it? Of course not. Moreover, I would be hard-pressed to
think of any machine that cannot be described as a tool. Even machines designed
to entertain or amuse us—for example, toy robots, cars and video games, and
novelty items—are in fact tools, which their inventors and promoters use for
engaging in commerce and the business of entertainment and amusement.
(42) And, the claim that a machine can be an end in itself, without
purpose or utilitarian function for humans whatsoever, is dubious at best, since
I cannot conjure up even a single example of any such machine.
(43) As for the statement's second claim, in certain respects machines are
superior. We have devised machines that perform number-crunching and other rote
cerebral tasks with greater accuracy and speed than human minds ever could.
However, if one defines superiority not in terms of competence in performing
rote tasks but rather in other ways, human minds are superior. Machines have no
capacity for independent thought, for making judgments based on normative
considerations, or for developing emotional responses to intellectual
problems. (44)Up until now, the notion of human-made machines
that develop the ability to think on their own, and to develop so-called
"emotional intelligence," has been pure fiction. Besides, even in fiction we
humans ultimately prevail over such machines—as in the cases of Frankenstein's
monster and Hat, the computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Yet it seems
presumptuous to assert with confidence that humans will always maintain their
superior status over their machines. In other words, machines will soon exhibit
the traits to which we humans attribute our own superiority.
(45) And insofar as humans have the unique capacity for independent
thought, subjective judgment, and emotional response, it also seems fair to
claim superiority over our machines. Besides, should we ever become so clever a
species as to devise machines that can truly think for themselves and look out
for their own well-being, then query whether these machines of the future would
be "machines" anymore.[A] Recent advances in biotechnology, particularly in
the area of human genome research, suggest that within the twenty-first century
we'll witness machines that can learn to think on their own, to repair and
nurture themselves, to experience Visceral sensations, and so
forth.[B] The statement is clearly accurate insofar as machines are tools of
human minds.[C] In sum, because we devise machines in order that they may
serve us, it is fair to characterize machines as "tools of human minds."[D]
It's hardly surprising that human-made machine can do the most works that belong
to human before.[E] In fact, it is because we can devise machines that are
superior in these respects that we devise them--as our tools—to begin
with.[F] When we develop any sort of machine we always have some sort of end
in mind—a purpose for that machine.

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}You are going to read a text about the state of
college students' mental health, followed by a list of examples. Choose the best
example from the list A—F for each numbered subheading (41—45). There is one
extra example which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
The state of college students' mental health continues to
decline. What's the solution? In the months before Massachusetts
Institute of technology sophomore Elizabeth Shin died, she spoke with seven
psychiatrists and one social worker. The psychiatrists diagnosed major
depression; the therapist recommended hospitalization. Shin told a dean that she
was cutting herself and let a professor know that she wanted to commit suicide.
The housemaster of her dorm and two of her friends stayed up nights to watch
her. But it wasn't enough. On April 10, 2000, Elizabeth Shin locked her dorm
room door and set her clothes on fire. Four days later, she was dead.
{{B}}41. Many colleges are running into thorny situation.{{/B}}
Her parents, Kisuk and Cho Hyun Shin, filed suit against MIT, charging its
employees with gross negligence and wrongful death. It's an extreme case, but it
illustrates a problem facing many other schools, as more and more students line
up at counseling centers requiring increasingly intensive therapy or
medication—or both. {{B}}42. Students with substantial personality
problems.{{/B}} The number of freshmen reporting less than average
emotional health has been steadily rising since 1985, according to the newest
data from an annual nationwide survey by the University of California-Los
Angeles. {{B}}Reasons for the decline of college students' mental
health{{/B}} College therapists cite several reasons for the
apparent deterioration in student mental health. Not only has this generation
grown up in the much-maligned era of the disintegrating American family, it is
also more used to therapy and so more likely to seek help. As competition to get
into college gets tougher, students burn out before they even get there. And
kids with severe psychological problems, who in the past wouldn't even have made
it to college, now take psychotropic drugs that help them succeed.
{{B}}43. The soaring number of visitors to college
psychiatrists.{{/B}} Colleges first created counseling centers for
students who needed career and academic advice, says Robert Gallagher, author of
the counseling center survey and former director of the University of
Pittsburghs' services. As psychological counseling took over, the centers' other
advising functions were packed off to other parts of the campus.
{{B}}44. Inadequacies of college therapy services.{{/B}} The
ballooning caseloads mean there isn't the time or the staff to offer long-term
therapy to any but the most troubled. "You can't just load up with the first 100
students and see them regularly without having openings for new people," says
Gallagher. Instead, colleges focus on getting students over immediate
crises. {{B}}45. What's the solution?{{/B}} Some
schools have tried filling the gap by getting more involved in students' lives.
The University of South Carolina, the University of Nevada-Reno, and Texas
A 30 percent
reported at least one student suicide on their campus last year.[C] "If a
student tells you she took five extra pills over the weekend," says Gertrude
Carter, director of psychological services at Bennington College in Vermont,
"it's hard to tell if that's a grab for attention or an actual threat."[D]
New statistics show that many freshmen arrive on campus depressed and anxious
and feel worse as the year progresses. At the same time, colleges must also
negotiate the legal and emotional pitfalls of caring for their charges, not
children but not yet fully adults.[E] In response to the task force report,
MIT is putting together support teams of physicians, other health-care
professionals, and experienced counselors to spend time in the dorms,
socializing with the students and keeping an eye on them.[F] One Yale
student suffering from anxiety during his sophomore year rarely saw the same
counselor twice. "It felt like the person I was talking to wasn't really there,"
he says. After five sessions, he stopped going. "I wouldn't want to go there
again," he says, "but what else is there?"

填空题Translate the following passage into English. 余杭县一个姓贺的书生,素有才华,很有名气,只是家境不太富裕。他一向倾慕瑞云,本不敢梦想同效鸳鸯,听得她见客了,也竭力筹措了一份薄礼,希望能一睹芳容。他暗自担心瑞云看的人多了,不把穷书生放在眼里;等到见面一谈,她却接待得很殷勤,坐着说了好久话,眉目之中含情脉脉。还作了一首诗送给他,诗中写道:“何事求浆者,蓝桥叩晓关?有心寻玉杵(jade pestle),端只在人间。”诗里用了唐传奇“裴航遇仙”的典故:裴航在蓝桥驿讨茶水喝,看上了美丽的少女云英,向她祖母求亲,老妇人非要他找到玉杵臼为聘不可;裴航最后找到了玉杵臼,娶了云英。贺生得到这首诗,高兴得发狂,再想说些话,忽然小丫头来告诉“客到”,贺生匆忙之中就告别了。
