9.In 2017,AlphaGo defeated Chinese player Ke Jie to become the world's No 1,ending thousands of years of human dominance(控制)in the game.AlphaGo is an artificial intelligence(AI)Go-playing program.(36)E
Artificial intelligence(AI)is usually defined as the science of marking computers do things that require intelligence when done by humans.(37)GThese include learning,reasoning,problem-solving,perception,and language-understanding.
(38)CIn fact we are increasingly depending.upon computer-based artificial intelligence.As Charlie Qrtiz said,head of AL at the Massachusetts-based software company Nuance Communication,"It has opened a window for us."Smartphones,self-driving cars,intelligent robots,etc.are constantly coming into our life.According to a recent survey,half of the world's AI experts believe human level machine intelligence will be achieved by 2040.This will open up huge possibilities for the enrichment of mankind,from tackling climate change and treating disease to labour-saving devices.
(39)FPhysicist Stephen Hawking last year warned that unless we take care,board games might be the least of it."The development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race."(40)AThey believe AlphaGo's victory is a reminder of how fast the world is overcoming the obstacles in the way of AI,and its distribution in the world about us.Although there may yet be no evidence that computers will ever shake off their human masters,we should still treat these development with the humility and caution they deserve.

A.Other scientists have also expressed the concern.
B.Artificial intelligence has both advantages and disadvantages.
C.Defeating a human Go master is not the only thing AI can do.

E.It was designed by an American Artificial intelligence company.
F.Not all experts hold the optimistic attitudes to the development of AI.
G.Research in AI has so far focused on some special fields of intelligence.

13.If you watched the 2016 Rio Olympic Games,you might have noticed that several athletes,including US swimmer Michael Phelps,had circular bruises on their bodies.These bruises were the results of"cupping therapy"(拔罐疗法)a traditional Chinese medical practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.Cupping therapy involves attaching circular cups to the skin using suction.(吸出)The suction is created either by heating the cup inside or by using a handheld pump.This suction pulls the skin upward into the cup.Sometimes it can leave dark red bruises,other times there is no mark at all.
Many athletes say that they have benefited from the therapy.Phelps used the therapy in the fall of 2014 and has used it about twice a week since,reported ABC News.Another US swimmer,Dana Vollmer,also believes that"it really helps with blood flow,and helps pull swelling out of different areas."
To figure out whether cupping has many physical effects,last year researchers from Germany carried out a test in which a sham treatment was provided.In the study,the same type of cups was used in the real treatment and the sham treatment.But in the sham treatment,the cups had a hole at the top so that they cou ldn't create the proper suction.
The tested patients,who suffered from a disorder that causes a lot of pain,were told that they would receive either a traditional cupping of"soft cupping".But they were not informed that the so-called"soft cupping"was a sham treatment.
It turned out that most patients correctly guessed which kind of cupping they had received.In both groups,patients also experienced about the same reductions in pain.The results suggest the effects of cupping therapy might come from factors that are not necessarily part of the treatment itself,probably resulting from people feeling that the treatment works,the researchers told the LiveScience Website.
The question of whether cupping therapy works still needs to be answered.But because the treatment is relatively safe and it could be helpful for some people,"The therapy can be used as a part of a comprehensive treatment program involving other exercises,nutritional choices and life-style interventions",Dr Brent Bauer,director of the US'Mayo Clinic Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program,told LiveScience.

A.He is the greatest US swimmer.
B.He competed in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
C.He has no circular bruises on their bodies.
D.He finds cupping therapy helpful.
29.What's the meaning of the underlined word"sham"in Paragraph 3?B
A.painful
B.false
C.exciting
D.shameful
30.According to the German research,what's the effect of cupping therapy?C
A.It is totally useless.
B.It is satisfactory when it comes to the physical effects.
C.It may depend on patients'belief.
D.It just makes the pain worse.
31.According to the last paragraph,which statement is true?B
A.Cupping therapy is recommended for all people.
B.Cupping therapy can be used with other treatments.
C.Cupping therapy must be used under a doctor's guidance.
D.Cupping therapy is only effective when combined with lifestyle interventions.
