歌謠和神話
遠在文字出現之前，歌謠跟口頭流傳的神話就已大量產生。中國的文學正是開始於此。不過，歌謠本是人們在生活中隨興而發的東西，上古時代也沒有保存和記載它們的方式，因此也就很快湮滅，不留痕跡。如今，我們只能從一些古書中推斷它們的存在。古書中記載了一些年代非常久遠的歌謠，但是大多出於後人的僞託，能夠斷定出處的歌謠要到《詩經》裏才能看見。從這點來看，古代神話對中國文學的影響更爲顯著。
歌謠 ballad
隨興而發 improvise
痕跡 trace
推斷 deduce
年代非常久遠的 time-honored
僞託 derivative
《詩經》 The Book of Songs
譯文：
Long before the emergence of the written word, ballads and myths, passed around by word of mouth, were widely popular. Chinese literature finds its origins in these traditions. However, ballads were what people improvised out of daily life, and due to lack of means to record and preserve them in ancient times, they quickly disappeared without leaving much of a trace. Today, we can only deduce their existence from ancient books, which recorded some time-honored ballads, though most of these are believed to be derivatives of later generations. Ballads in The Book of Songs are the earliest writings that can be dated. From this point of view, ancient mythology has had a greater influence on Chinese literature.
section 2The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability,but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon，in only 10 or 20 years perhaps，we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain,and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (軟件)or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.
I think- it certain that in decades not centuries*machines of silicon (桂)will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon's long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the knowledge.
As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost dec ines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers first on earth through their alnlity to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast,man-created world in space，home to thousands or millions of people， will be within our power.
It can be inferred from the passage that_.
A. after the installation of a great number of cells and connections robots will be capable of reproduction
B. with the rapid development of technology people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability
C. once we make a machine as complex as the human brain?it will possess intelligence
D. robot will have control of the vast,man-made world in space
【講解答案】
B推理題。全文反覆提到隨着科技的發展，人們能夠生產出人工智能型的機器。因此B項符合文本的含義。
