Modern scientists have mad great development in building computers that can imitate logical thought. There are two schools of thought on artificial intelligence(人工智能)。 Supporters of “Strong AI” consider that all human thought can be broken down into a set of mathematical operations. They expect that they will one day be able to copy the human mind and create a robot able to both think and feel, with a sense of self---the stuff of classic science fiction. Supporters of “Weak AI” think a computer might seem intelligent, but it is not aware of what it is doing, with no sense of self or consciousness.

Now the development of life---like robots may be closer to reality than you think. Engineers have created robotic soccer players, and bees that act like the real thing.

Powered by a small battery on her back, humanoid robot Lola is a soccer champion. “The idea of the robot is that it can walk and see things because it has a video camera on top.” Raul Rojas, Ph.D., professor of artificial intelligence at Freie University in Berlin, Germany, told Ivanhoe. Using the camera on her head, Lola recognizes objects by color.

“Using this camera, Lola can locate objects on the floor, such as a red ball, go after the ball and try to score a goal,” said Dr. Rojas. German engineers have also created a bee robot. It can imitate the bee’s “waggle” dance which communicates the location of food and water.

“Later what we want to prove is that the robot can send the bees in any decided direction using the waggle dance,” said Dr. Rojas.

Robots like this could one day become high-tech surveillance(侦察) tools that secretly fly and record data.

64. Robotic soccer players mentioned in the text reach the level of        .

A. “Strong AI” technology         B. “Weak AI” technology

C. being able to think themselves  D. having a sense of consciousness

65. How does Lola tell different objects according to the text?

A. By microwave   B. By sound    C. By smell.   D. By color

66. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to “      ”.

A. a bee robot                        B. a robotic soccer player

C. a bee that can use the waggle dance  D. a surveillance tool

67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A. A robot able to both think and feel only exists in science fiction now.

B. Scientists have created the robots that can play soccer better than men.

C. Engineers have created robotic soccer players and bees that can replace the real thing,

D. Scientists have made great development in recording data in the past few years.

　 Apple’s logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标)around the world．

But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious，because that’s the name of the company．What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing．He was the father of computer science．He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能)and unlocked German wartime codes(密码)．However，after the war，he was put into prison，because of his beliefs．He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison．

　 However，Rob Janoff，who designed the famous Apple logo，said，“It’s not the truth, but only a legend．The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple．I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry．When I go to markets to buy apples，I always mistake apples for cherries．It really has nothing to do with the scientist．”

　 Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo, some people may mistake it for a cherry.

36. Both the apple and the cherry are almost the same actually in________．

　 A·shape　 B．size　 C．colour　 D．weight

37. According to the passage，Alan Turing________.

A．died in the prison

B．used an apple to design a logo

C．was put into prison during the war

D．was the father of a computer company

38. What’s the purpose of writing the passage about the apple logo?

A．To introduce its designer．

B．To tell us a legend about it．

C．To try to find the truth of it．

D．TO explain its market research．
