2 . We are encountering real-world examples of how AI can harm human relations. As digital assistants such as Alexa or Siri become popular, we become accustomed to talking to them as though they were alive. Writing in these pages several years ago, Judith Shulevitz described how some of us are starting to treat them as friends and therapists. Shulevitz herself says she confesses (忏悔) things to Google Assistant that she wouldn’t tell her husband. If we grow more comfortable talking to our devices about our secrets, what happens to our human marriages and friend ships? Designers and programmers typically create devices whose responses make us feel better — but may not help us be self-reflective or think over painful truths. As AI goes deeper into our lives, we must face the possibility that it will prevent our emotions and deep human connections.

Besides, we will fight with some other challenges. The age of driverless cars, after all, is upon us. These vehicles promise to considerably reduce the exhaustion and distraction that put human drivers in danger, thus preventing accidents. But what other effects might they have on people? Driving is a very modern kind of social interaction, requiring high levels of cooperation. I worry that driverless cars by taking away from us an occasion to exercise this ability, could contribute to its decline.

Not only will these vehicles be programmed to takeover driving du tics and hence to remove from humans the power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is unavoidable), they will also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact. For instance, drivers who have driven awhile alongside an autonomous (有自主能力的) vehicle traveling at a steady, changeless speed might drive less attentively, thus increasing their likelihood of accidents once they’ve moved to apart of the highway occupied only by human drivers. Alternatively, experience may reveal that driving alongside autonomous vehicles travelling in perfect accordance with (按照) traffic laws actually improves human performance.

Either way, we should be cautious about launching new forms of AI without first taking such unexpected social effects into account. We must apply the same effort that we apply to the hardware and software that make self-driving cars possible to managing AI’s potential effects on those outside the car. After all, we install brake lights on the back of your car not just, or even primarily, for your benefit, but for the sake of the people behind you.

8 . As the coronavirus（冠状病毒）outbreak continues，many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that . the pandemic（疫情）has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.

In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.

The rise in bicycle . sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.

Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.

Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we'll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.”

9 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Yang Liwei was 38 years old when he went to space on the Shenzhou V,     1    (make) China the third country to master manned space capabilities.

In his article, Yang recalled several breathtaking moments. He said, “When the rocket lifted to a height of about 30-40 kilometers, I felt it began to vibrate (振动) violently, and it was     2    (extreme) painful.” Vibrations in the spacecraft below 10 Hz can damage internal organs, and even threaten a person’s life. The near-deadly moment lasted for 26     3    (second). When it was finally over, Yang felt like he had been reborn.

Yang also described mysterious knocking sounds from outside the craft. He still doesn’t know where they came from. He also described     4     his city looked like from space. “I flew over Beijing and saw the mountains in the daytime and sparkling (闪烁的) lights at night. And there live my friends and my     5    (love) ones.”

After his return, Yang reported the abnormal vibrations to scientists,     6     solved the issue right before     7     Shenzhou VI’s launch. So far, a number of new technologies     8    (apply) to the core cabin (核心舱). Eighteen years after his first trip to space, Yang said with a smile he even “envied”     9    （he) fellow spacemen who now have such     10    (comfort) space accommodations, which show how China’s space program has grown.
