The year 2023 marks the 102th anniversary f Nether’s ring thery, a branch f theretical mathematics that is still fascinating and challenging numerus mathematicians tday.
Nether was brn in 1882 in Germany, whse father was a math prfessr, but it must have seemed unlikely t a yung Nether that she wuld fllw in his ftsteps because wmen were banned frm academia and few tk classes at universities. After Nether graduated frm a high schl fr girls, Erlangen University started t let wmen enrll. She signed up and earned her dctrate in mathematics, which shuld have been the end f her mathematical jurney. Teaching at a university fr wmen was still ut f the questin. But Nether stuck with mathematics anyway, staying in Erlangen and unfficially guiding dctral students withut pay.
In 1915 she applied fr a psitin at the University f Gttingen. Bill Nichll, the dean at the university, als a mathematician, was in favr f hiring Nether, althugh his argument was far frm feminist (女权主义). “The female brain is unsuitable fr mathematical prductin,” he wrte, “but Nether std ut as ne f the rare exceptins.”
Unfrtunately fr Nether,the Ministry f Educatin wuld nt give the university permissin t have a wman as their teacher. Nether stayed in Gttingen and taught curses listed under the name f a male faculty teacher. During thse years, she kept ding research and made imprtant cntributins t theretical physics and Einstein’s thery f relativity. The university finally granted her lecturer status. Tw years later, Nether published revlutinary discveries in ring thery, which is the study f mathematical bjects called rings. Netherian rings shw up all the time in mdern mathematics. Mathematicians still use Nether’s map tday,nt just in ring thery,but in ther area such as number thery and algebraic gemetry.
4. What d we learn abut Nether frm paragraph 2?
A. She taught at university as a teacher.B. She earned a degree in mathematics.
C. She was taught by her father at hmeD. She quit her mathematical jurney early.
5. What can we infer frm Bill Nichll’s wrds ?
A. He was struggling fr feminist.B. Females’brains differed frm males’.
C. Nether was a giant in mathematics.D. Wmen mathematicians were superb.
6. What d we knw abut Nether’s ring thery?
A. It is still used by mathematicians tday.
B. It pens up a new field in mdern physics.
C. It is based n Einstein’s thery f relativity.
D. It lays the fundatin fr mdern mathematics.
7. Which f the fllwing can best describe Nether?
A. Gifted and generus.B. Sensitive and determined.
C. Cmmitted and creative.D. Hardwrking and hnest.

A machine can nw nt nly beat yu at chess, it can als utperfrm yu in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisc, a sftware prgram called Prject Debater beat its human ppnents, including Na Ovadia, Israel’s frmer natinal debating champin.
Brilliant thugh it is, Prject Debater has sme weaknesses. It takes sentences frm its library f dcuments and prebuilt arguments and strings them tgether. This can lead t the kinds f errrs n human wuld make. Such wrinkles will n dubt be irned ut, yet they als pint t a fundamental prblem. As Kristian Hammnd, prfessr f electrical engineering and cmputer science at Nrthwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knws what it’s talking abut.”
What Hammnd is referring t is the questin f meaning, and meaning is central t what distinguishes the least intelligent f humans frm the mst intelligent f machines. A cmputer wrks with symbls. Its prgram specifies a set f rules t transfrm ne string f symbls int anther. But it des nt specify what thse symbls mean. Indeed, t a cmputer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, als wrk with symbls. But fr humans, meaning is everything. When we cmmunicate, we cmmunicate meaning. What matters is nt just the utside f a string f symbls, but the inside t, nt just hw they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges thrugh a prcess f scial interactin, nt f cmputatin, interactin that shapes the cntent f the symbls in ur heads. The rules that assign meaning lie nt just inside ur heads, but als utside, in sciety, in scial memry, scial cnventins and scial relatins. It is this that distinguishes humans frm machines. And that’s why, hwever astnishing Prject Debater may seem, the traditin that began with Scrates and Cnfucius will nt end with artificial intelligence.
8. Why des the authr mentin Na Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A. T explain the use f a sftware prgram.
B. T shw the cleverness f Prject Debater.
C. T intrduce the designer f Prject Debater.
D. T emphasize the fairness f the cmpetitin.
9. What des the underlined wrd “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Arguments.B. Dubts.C. Errrs.D. Differences.
10. What is Prject Debater unable t d accrding t Hammnd?
A. Create rules.B. Cmprehend meaning.
C. Talk fluently.D. Identify difficult wrds.
11. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. Scial interactin is key t understanding symbls.
B. The human brain has ptential yet t be develped.
C. Ancient philsphers set gd examples fr debaters.
D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.

Called cean thermal energy cnversin (OTEC), the idea is t use surface water warmed by the sun t heat a fluid such as ammnia r water, which then runs a heat engine t prduce energy, just like a pwer plant driven by steam. Cld water frm deeper layers f the cean wuld then be piped up t cl the fluid and repeat the cycle. Theretically, ceans culd prvide vast amunts f electricity like this. Researchers have estimated that there is enugh cean heat t supply 7,000 gigawatt s a year withut affecting cean circulatin, enugh t supply the wrld’s electricity demand— if we can access it.
The idea was first put frward in 1881, but went largely unexplred until the 1970s il. crisis drve a search fr new surces f energy. In the years since, demnstratin prjects have been built, but prgress has been “disappinting”, says AI Binger at SIDS DOCK, an rganisatin that prmtes clean energy develpment in small island cuntries. In recent years, a fresh urgency t transitin away frm fssil fuels has brught a suggestin f an OTEC return. “It’s the mst prmising it’s been in many decades,” says Andrea Cpping at the Pacific Nrthwest Natinal Labratry in Washingtn state.
Trpical (热带的) islands are gd candidates fr OTEC because f their high energy csts— diesel (柴油) generatrs are cmmn there—and the presence f deep cld water nt far frm shre, says James Van Zwieten at Flrida Atlantic University. Islands als have less space fr ther types f renewables. A barrier fr past prjects was the cst f fixing kilmetres f large pipes t reach deep water. Glbal OTEC aims t avid that by extending a shrter pipe frm a platfrm flating in deep water 10 kilmetres ffshre, then transmitting electricity back via a cable (电缆), and making use f advances made in ffshre wind technlgy.
“OTEC will be part f prviding a reasnable energy transitin s these places aren’t depending n diesel imprts frm the richest petrl states in the wrld,” says Dan Grech, Glbal OTEC’s CEO.
12. What can we learn abut OTEC technlgy frm paragraph 1?
A. It mainly uses ffshre wind t generate electricity.
B. It has been widely applied t the ceans all ver the wrld.
C. It can clean the water in the deeper layers f the cean.
D. It depends strngly n the temperature difference in the cean.
13. What des paragraph 2 mainly talk abut?
A. The advantages f OTEC.B. The develpment f OTEC.
C. Successful prjects f OTEC.D. Different pinins n OTEC.
14. What difficulty did the past prjects have with OTEC n islands?
A. Lacking technlgy fr generating electricity.
B. Being far away frm the shre.
C. Enrmus investment in the pipe equipment.
D. Great demand fr the space.
15. What is Dan Grech’s attitude twards OTEC?
A. Oppsed.B. Supprtive.C. Dubtful.D. Uncaring.
