From her window she can see the Navys divers, and her soul leaps toward them she wants to dive.The novels second major character is Annas fathers boss Dexter Styles, a dashing
28、 nightclub owner. By his marriage and foresight he has managed to go mostly clean. When his path crosses Annas, though, that ambition comes into doubt.USA TODAY says out of four stars. “Egan has every gift a writer can possess.”The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine by Mark Twain and Philip; Doubled

It is intended for readers of all age groups.B. U is rated four stars by contributing reviewers.C. It is about the adventures of an unfortunate boy.D
32、. It is centred around Mark Twains sad childhood.BScientists have discovered how the “wiring” of in-built sat-navs in bees brains helps them plot the most direct route back to their hive.The researchers have found that a complex network of neurons integrates (整合) every detail of the outbound journey
33、s, helping bees to return directly home.While it has long been known that bees use their vision to navigate (导航), until now little is known about what happens inside their tiny brains as they perform this task. Now, researchers from the University of Edinburgh have discovered neurons (神经元) that dete
34、ct speed and direction to help guide bees home. The neurons are located in a part of the insect brain called the central complex. Scientists have found this region plays a key role in controlling the navigation system, which is used by many animals, including bees, ants and humans. These cells are u
35、sed to add up all elements of the outbound journey, creating a memory that bees use to fly home by the most direct route, researchers say.The researchers have discovered the complex workings of the system by studying the brains of nocturnal (夜间的) rainforest bees. They monitored nerve function by att
36、aching tiny electrodes (电极) to bees heads as the insects were shown virtual reality simulations (模拟) of what they see when flying forward or rotating.Their results, together with microscope studies of how the nerve cells are connected, were used to develop a detailed computer model of the bees brain
37、. The model was tested on a simulated bee and on a robot.The findings could lead to the development of new algorithms (算法) for navigation in autonomous robots that do not require GPS or expensive computer systems.Professor Barbara Webb, lead author of the study said: “The most exciting pan of this r
38、esearch was when computer modelling of connections between nerve cells revealed the elegant principle by which bees keep track of their position and steer back home. Understanding such a complex behaviour at the level of single neurons is an important step forward for the science of brain function.”
39、58. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 refers to “ ”.A. built-in satellite navigation fixed by scientistsB. built-in direct routes plotted by scientistsC. inborn complex network of bees neuronsD. inborn models of bees speed and position59. According to the passage, which of the following statements

42、stCGiven bow valuable intelligence and automation (自动化) are, we will continue to improve our technology if we are at all able to. At a certain point, we will build machines that are smarter than we are. Once we have machines that are smarter than we are, they will begin to improve themselves. And th
43、en we risk what the mathematician IJ Good called an intelligence explosion”. The process could get out of control.The concern is really that we will build machines that arc much more competent than we are. And the slightest divergence (分歧 ) between their goals and our own could destroy us.Just think
44、 about how we relate to ants. We dont hate them. We dont go out of our way to harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one of our goals, we will kill them without hesitation. The concern is t
45、hat we will one day build machines that, whether theyre conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard.The bare fact is that we will continue to improve our intelligent machines. We have problems that we desperately need to solve. So we will do this, if we can. The train is already out of t
46、he station, and theres no brake to pull. If we build machines that are more intelligent than we are, they will very likely develop in ways that we cant imagine, and exceed us in ways that we cant imagine.So imagine we hit upon a design of superintelligent AI that has no safety concerns. This machine
47、 would be the perfect labor-saving device. It can design the machine that can build the machine which can do any physical work, powered by sunlight, more or less for the cost of raw materials. So were talking about the end of human labour. Were also talking about the end of most intellectual work. S
48、o what would apes like ourselves do in this circumstance?What would some nations do if they heard that some company in Silicon Valley was about to deploy a superintelligent AI? This machine would be capable of starting war, whether terrestrial or cyber, with unbelievable power.Given that the compani
49、es and governments building superintelligent AI are likely to perceive themselves as being in a race against all others, and that to win this race is to win the world, it seems likely that whatever is easier to do will get done first unless it is destroyed in the next moment.But the moment we admit that information processing is the sou
