1．There is an old joke among pilots that says the ideal flight crew is a computer，a pilot and a dog.The computer's job is to fly the plane.The pilot is there to feed the dog.And the dog's job is to bite the pilot if he tries to touch the computer.
Handing complex tasks to computers is not new.But recent progress in machine learning，a subfield of artificial intelligence （AI），has enabled computers to handle many problems which were previously beyond jye.aim.The result has been an AI boom，with computers moving into everything from medical diagnosis and insurance to self-driving cars.
There is a problem，though.Machine learning works by giving computers the ability to train themselves，which adapts their programming to the task at hand.People struggle to understand exactly how those self-written programs do what they do.When algorithms（計算機程序）are doing small tasks，such as playing chess or recommending a film to watch，this "black box" problem can be safely ignored.When they are deciding who gets a loan，or how to drive a car through a crowded city，it is potentially harmful.And when things go wrong，then customers，regulators and the courts will want to know why.
For some people this is a reason to hold back AL France's digital-economy minister，Mounir Mahjoubi，has said that the government should not use any algorithm whose decisions cannot be explained.But that is an overreaction.The difficulties caused by clever computers are not unheard- of.Society already has plenty of experience dealing with problematic black boxes；the most common are called human beings，who can't even figure out what's going on in a brajye.ai.In response to the weakness in humans，society has evolved a series of workable coping mechanisms，called laws，rules and regulations.Many of these can be applied to machines as well.
Humans have worked with computers on complex tasks for decades.One lesson from such applications is that，wherever possible，people should supervise（監督）the machjye.aies.In that joke，pilots are vital in case something happens that is beyond the scope of artificial intelligence.As computers spread，companies and governments should ensure the first line of defence is a real person who can overrule the algorithms if necessary.
（1）Why is the joke mentioned in Paragraph 1？
A．To make people laugh.
B．To foresee future aeroplane industry.
C．To introduce the latest model of aeroplanes.
D．To raise people's awareness of computers performing complex tasks.
（2）What has caused the increasing application of computers in various fields？
A．The shortage of labor force.
B．The rise of artificial intelligence.
C．The encouragement of government.
D．The development of medical economy.
（3）Why are some people opposed to AI？
A．Black boxes always go wrong.
B．Laws forbid machine learning.
C．They don't understand how AI works.
D．Computers are trying to replace human beings.組卷：9引用：1難度：0.6 -

4．When 45-year-old Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic （胰腺）cancer，he chose to focus on living rather than dying.As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University，Pausch was asked to deliver a "last lecture".This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.
The only difference in Pausch's case is that Pausch really was dying，but it only motivated him more.He delivered his last lecture， "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" on Sept.18，2007.
Pausch began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams，some of which he had achieved and the others he hadn't.He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams，even if they don't always succeed.He shared the values learned through experience，which he hoped to pass on to others hard work，honesty，laughter and gratitude.
Pausch's last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention.It became a crazy YouTube hit，and in October 2007，he presented an abridged（刪節的）version on "The Oprah Winfrey Show".He turned the lecture into a book by the same name，which quickly became a best-seller.Readers were deeply moved by the book's representation of Pausch's lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young children.
Pausch passed away on July 25，2008，but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture and his book.He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give up our childhood dreams—a source of inspiration that can never run dry.

28．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Lesia Cartelli was badly burned in a gas explosion at her grandparent's house at age 9.In fact，the burns were so severe that her own grandfather didn't recognize her.But now，this brave woman uses her injured past to help other burn victims find healing.
On that terrible day，Lesia and her cousin were playing in their grandparent's basement.A gas leak caused the whole house to blow up.The explosion threw many of the 9 family members in the home across the street.Already a fighter，Lesia pulled herself out of the ruins.Flames still covered her little body，so she rolled in the dirt and snow to put them out.
"It was all face，hands，back and it had burned around my waist，" she says.Lesia's own grandfather thought she was someone else because of how badly she was burned.As nursing staff loaded her into the ambulance，her grandfather tried to leave.He thought the house ruins still held his granddaughter's body.Even though Lesia was right in front of him，he didn't realize it was the same child.
Catching a glimpse of her reflection in the ambulance window helped Lesia understand why her grandfather didn't recognize her.Burns covered 50% of her body and fire burned off all her hair.
Lesia spent several months in the hospital，undergoing surgeries and skin grafts（移植）.Once released，Lesia's scars（疤）drew stares and questions from people，so she started isolating herself.
"When I was burned，everything in my life changed，" she said. "My friendships changed.I hated going to school.You are coping with things you never had to cope with before.People staring at you.People asking questions.Why do you look like that？"
Lesia could have remained isolated her whole life.When bad things happen，we can always choose to move backwards or to let God give our pain purpose.Lesia chose the latter，realizing she was put on this Earth to do more than just survive.
注意：
1.續寫詞數應為 150 左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
