18、 my friends did not understand. I left Iowa，where I had friends and stability，to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco. At school，I had found a job driving a school bus so people asked， “Why on earth are you leaving？”Well，at graduation I was presented with two things a degree in psychology an
19、d a question. It was the same one that many in my generation got: “What do I do now？” It was as difficult as it was common. Thats because many people at my age were raised with the same words，repeated over and over by parents， teachers and TV，that you “can be whatever you want to be.” As a young boy
20、， every time when I was puzzled about my future，they would say that they would be happy if I was happy. However，what I needed was concrete advice but not a vague idea，for example， “be a doctor，or be a bus driver.”My experience was by no means universal. Many Americans are taught by their parents tha
21、t the only purpose in life is to attain money and power. As a goal， this seems much easier and clearer than finding “happiness” or “gentleness”. The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill，rather assuming that something would magically happe
22、n to overcome their problems. They often get a real shock when they enter the“real world”and find that their options are very limited. Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating，or have moved back in with their parents.My life on the boat is hard at times，especially duri
23、ng storms. But this is my small attempt to be happy on my own. Im not buying into my nations idea of limitless possibilities because I feel that stops the growth of many of todays youth.25.Why were the friends confused about the writers leaving?A.

26、ities.CWhen a mathematics student was examined in the hospital，Dr. John Lorber discovered that he had almost no brain at all. Normally，the condition is quite severe in the first months of childhood. Even when someone survives he or she is usually seriously disabled. Somehow， though， the student had
27、lived a perfectly normal life and went on to gain a degree in mathematics. This case is by no means as rare as it seems.Professor Lorber has identified (确认）several hundred people who have very small brains but who appear to be normal intelligent people. Some of them he describes as having “no detect
28、able brain”，yet they have scored up to 120 on IQ tests.No one knows how people with “no detectable brain” are able to function at all，let alonegraduate in mathematics. One suggestion is the old idea that we only use a small percentage of our brains anyway perhaps as little as 10 per cent. But more r
29、ecent research shows this idea is a misunderstanding dating from research in the 1930s in which the functions of large areas of the brain could not be determined and were named “silent”，while in fact they are linked with important functions like speech and abstract thinking.The other interesting thi
30、ng about Lorbers findings is that they remind us of the secret of memory. At first it was thought that there is a part in the brain for memory， like the memory chips in a PC. But further research of the brain has turned up the surprising fact that memory does not depend on any particular area in the
31、 brain. As one scientist put it， “Memory is everywhere in the brain and nowhere. ”But if the brain is not a place for classifying and storing experiences and analyzing them to enable us to live our lives，then what on earth is the brain for？ And where is the seat of human intelligence？ Where is the m
32、ind？29.What will usually happen to a very young baby without brain？A. It will die. B. It will survive.C. It will be intelligent. D. It will become disabled.30.What is the new finding of the functions of brain？A. Much of the brain is useful. B. The brain is in fact of no use.C. The brain determines o
33、nes IQ. D. Only a small part of the brain is used.31.What do we know about the existence of memory？A. We use all of our brain. B. We have memory chips.C. We are fully aware of it. D. We are still confused about it.DCompanies that have invested (投资）heavily in big data want to know how to make smart i
34、nvestments that will distinguish them from the competition and enable the best possible return before making the decision to go all in. In the past，not all enterprisesbig data plans went as planned. These failures are not usually published， but the big data failure rate is unusually high.According t
35、o Gartner，only 15% of businesses make it past the experimental stage of these projects. Our fear，as leaders of technology companies，is that with so much attention surrounding AI，the pressure is on to apply the technology without first setting clear business goals and understanding the differences be
36、tween AI and ML (machine learning) and how they should be applied，thus risking falling behind the many decision makers who are adopting the technology.Its easy to get caught up in the great expectations of artificial intelligence as its promoted，including breakthroughs like deep learning，but those l
37、ooking to make an outsized influence should instead focus on good old-fashioned machine learning or “cheap learning”.The distinction is simple: Cheap learning is about using basic machine learning techniques on straightforward data sets in different parts of a company to produce a large number of sm
38、all， gradual improvements. Deep learning，on the other hand，is a specific part of machine learning. Deep learning is a collection of advanced machine learning approaches that make business decisions based on highly complex data sets possible.For tasks of analyzing raw data，such as images and voice re
39、cordings，deep learning is best. But when it comes to working on simplified，structured types of data，weve found cheap machine learning will do the trick. When you consider that the majority of data flowing through enterprises falls into this second category，its clear which tool makes the most sense.
40、32. What do we know about investment in big data from the first paragraph?A. Is secret. B. Is safe. C. Is risky. D. Is fruitful.33. Which of the following adds to the pressure on the leading technology companies?A. Understanding AI and ML. B. Wasting too much time on AI.C. Falling behind other compa

What does the underlined phrase “do the trick” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Invest. B. Cheat. C. Function. D. S

But this was the first time a computer had ever had a bug. 40 Some people think Hopper was the first person to use the word “
