Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf

I have seen many cartoons, but Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf is my favourite cartoon. It is the famous cartoon writer Huang Weijian's work. I like it because it's more modern than other cartoons. The hero in the story is a clever and brave goat on the Qingqing Grassland. It always finds ways to help other goats run away from Big Big Wolf. It leads other goats to fight against Big Big Wolf. They work hard together and protect each other. They are always successful. The cartoon is so interesting that I can't help laughing. If you haven't seen it yet, please don't miss it.

点评：作者运用“四W一H法”对卡通片《喜羊羊与灰太狼》进行了简述。作者讲述了在青青草原上的喜羊羊带领其他羊勇斗灰太狼的故事，并表达了自己的看法。

添彩点：①作者运用几个短语在一个句子中表达丰富内涵：It always finds ways to help other goats run away from Big Big Wolf.(它总是能找到办法帮助其他的羊逃离灰太狼。)

②作者运用高级句式进行表达，增添了文章的语言色彩，增强了故事的可读性：I like it because...(我喜欢它是因为……)；The cartoon is so interesting that I can't help laughing.( 动画片太有趣了以至于我禁不住笑了起来。)

A

For people, it's not surprising that we can open a door, lift a heavy box and control ourselves while walking in the snow. But can a robot do this? Well, Google's new robot, Atlas, can not only do these things, but it can also stand up if it falls down. Although the robot may be slow and clumsy, it was created mainly to work in dangerous places for humans.

Now, robots are much smarter than you might imagine. On March 9 this year, AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) program made by Google's DeepMind, challenged top professional Go player Lee Se-dol from South Korea. And AlphaGo beat Lee at last.

AI is when computers or computer software is able to have intelligent behavior, such as thinking or acting like a human. In our daily lives, we already use AI in many ways, like Apple's Siri and search engines like Baidu and Google.

Some people may worry whether computers are now smart enough to beat us at everything. But experts say that is not the case. Real life problems can be more difficult than the Go game. For example, humans can watch a person throw down a cup of coffee and know that the result will be a mess on the floor. A computer program would have to know the size of the cup, the height of the cup from the floor and many other things to find out the result. But we never know what will happen in the future.

46. The underlined word “clumsy” in the first paragraph means ________. A. 敏捷的 B. 结实的 C. 笨拙的 D. 呆傻的

47. Atlas was created mainly to ________. A. help the disabled people

B. show the development of technology
