　　We are not who we think we are.

　　The American self-image is spread with the golden glow of opportunity. We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility, not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutable—a place where brains, energy and ambition are what count, not the circumstances of one’s birth.

　　The Economic Mobility Project, an ambitious research led by Pew Charitable Trusts, looked at the economic fortunes of a large group of families over time, comparing the income of parents in the late 1960s with the income of their children in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here is the finding: The “rags to riches” story is much more common in Hollywood than on Main Street. Only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income at the very bottom move to the top.

　　That is right, just 6 percent of children born to parents who ranked in the bottom of the study sample, in terms of income, were able to bootstrap their way into the top . Meanwhile, an incredible 42 percent of children born into that lowest are still stuck at the bottom, having been unable to climb a single rung of the income ladder.

　　It is noted that even in Britain—a nation we think of as burdened with a hidebound(守舊的) class system—children who are born poor have a better chance of moving up. When the studies were released, most reporters focused on the finding that African-Americans born to middle-class or upper middle-class families are earning slightly less, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than did their parents.

　　One of the studies indicates, in fact, that most of the financial gains white families have made in the past three decades can be attributed to(歸功于) the entry of white women into the labor force. This is much less true for African-Americans.

　　The picture that emerges from all the quintiles, correlations and percentages is of a nation in which, over all, “the current generation of adults is better off than the previous one”, as one of the studies notes.

　　The median income of the families in the sample group was ,600 in the late 1960s; their children’s median family income was measured at ,900. However, this rising tide has not lifted all boats equally. The rich have seen far greater income gains than have the poor.

　　Even more troubling is that our nation of America as the land of opportunity gets little support from the data. Americans move fairly easily up and down the middle rungs of the ladder, but there is “stickiness at the ends”—four out of ten children who are born poor will remain poor, and four out of ten who are born rich will stay rich.

　　32. What did the Economic Mobility Project find in its research?

　　A. Children from low-income families are unable to bootstrap their way to the top.

　　B. Hollywood actors and actresses are upwardly mobile from rags to riches.

　　C. The rags to riches story is more fiction than reality.

　　D. The rags to riches story is only true for a small minority of whites.

　　33. It can be inferred from the undertone(潛臺詞) of the writer that America, as a classless society, should________.

　　A. perfect its self-image as a land of opportunity

　　B. have a higher level of upward mobility than Britain

　　C. enable African-Americans to have exclusive access to well-paid employment

　　D. encourage the current generation to work as hard as the previous generation

　　34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. The US is a land where brains, energy and ambition are what count

　　B. Inequality persists between whites and blacks in financial gains.

　　C. Middle-class families earn slightly less with inflation considered.

　　D. Children in lowest-income families manage to climb a single rung of the ladder.

　　35. What might be the best title for this passage?

　　A. Social Upward Mobility. B. Incredible Income Gains.

　　C. Inequality in Wealth. D. America Not Land of Opportunity.

　　根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

　　The ancient Chinese game Go is considered one of the most complicated strategy games. Winning the game was seen as a test of human creativity. That is, until a machine found a way to do it better. AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence (AI) machine built by Google, won its first match against South Korean Lee Sedol on March 9. Still digesting his loss, Lee said during the post-game press conference, “ 36 ”

　　But that was just the beginning. In the following week, AlphaGo outperformed Lee in another three matches. 37

　　Some people have been arguing that AI is harmful to the human race. 38 Similarly, UK scientist Stephen Hawking once warned that the “development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”.

　　So are we really on the verge(邊緣)of living in the world shown in the Terminator(終結者)scifimovies? “Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it’s hard to get computers to apply their knowledge to everyday situations. “ 39 ” Thomas Johnson said, founder of an AI toy company. “But for a robot, to walk up and down hills requires so many complicated decisions to be made in real time, and it’s really difficult to do.”

　　As The Economist put it: “We have a long way to go before AI’s abilities truly begin to approach the human brain, despite how powerful the technology can be when focusing on a single task.”

　　Meanwhile, John Mark off of The New York Times argued that researchers should build artificial intelligence that aims for “intelligence augmentation (增加)” (IA) in which computers make people more effective.

　　He wrote: “ 40 Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make choices using technology to improve the world.”

　　A. Many robots fell over like little kids learning to walk.

　　B. We take for granted things like balance and vision.

　　C. Eventually, our fate is in our own hands.

　　D. So what is next for AI and humanity?

　　E. That made the five-match score 4-1 in favor of AlphaGo.

　　F. In 2014, US businessman Elon Musk said at an MIT conference that developing the technology is calling up a “demon(魔鬼)”.

　　G. I am in shock; I admit that.

　　第二節 (共10小題;每小題1.5分，滿分15分)

　　閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當的內容(1個單詞)或括號內單詞的正確形式。

　　Legs are the base of the body, providing support and balance. Besides 61 (be) a part of the body, legs have walked themselves right into many English expressions.

　　For example, on the first leg of a trip, you might feel fresh and energetic. 62 by the last leg, you might be tired and sleepy. Here, “leg” means a part of 63 journey or trip. If something has legs, it means people have interest in it. This expression often describes a story, issue or scandal(丑聞), which is commonly heard in newsrooms and 64 (political). If you are involved in a scandal that has legs, you will unfortunately hear about it for a long time. On the other hand, you can say that something does not have legs, meaning nobody is65 (interest).

　　To have a leg up means that you are ahead 66 others in some competition. For example, if you are studying rocket science in college and your mother is a rocket 67 (science), you have a leg up on other students. Not having a leg to stand on means that a person has no proof or evidence 68 (support) their actions or opinions. Now, imagine you are on a boat that 69 (rock) back and forth in rough ocean waters. You are unable to walk 70 (steady) and feel sick because you haven’t found your sea leg.

　　Dear editor,

　　I’m sorry to occupy your precious time, and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays. I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make too much noise that trouble residents a lot. What’s more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention. Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.

　　Yours truly,

　　Wang Lin
