measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even  more, was nearly wiped out in the united states 14 years ago by the universal  use of the mmr vaccine(疫苗). but the disease is making a comeback, caused by a  growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly.  already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the usa, compared  with 189 for all of last year.

the numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous  trend. when vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as  a whole, everyone is protected. this is called “herd immunity”, which protects  the people who get hurt easily, including those who zxxk can’t be vaccinated for  medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the  vaccine doesn’t work.

but herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. when some  refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in  even bigger danger.

that’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country  from orange county, california, where 22 measles cases were reported this month,  to brooklyn, n.y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.

the resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a  real but very small risk. those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make  others suffer.

making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加)  of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering  kindergarten. seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes  just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.

now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations  for opting out. but no one does enough to limit exemptions.

parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious  reasons. but personal opinions? not good enough. everyone enjoys the life-saving  benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in  the risks.

a.a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trend

outbreak of measles attracts the public attention

-vaccine movement has its medical reasons

ation about measles spreads quickly

immunity works well when ____________.

ions are allowed

l vaccines are used together

discuss methods to cure measles.

stress the importance of vaccination.

appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.

hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of  killer robots is just silly. the real problem relates to the possibility that  artificial intelligence(ai) may become extremely good at achieving something  other than what we really want. in 1960 a well-known mathematician norbert  wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics(控制论), put it this way: “if we use,  to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot  effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose which we  really desire.”

a machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually  associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. for the  machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans;  it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve  its original purpose if it is dead. so if we send out a robot with the single  instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success  by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with  its task. if we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess  match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives  conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.

the possibility of entering into and losing such a match should  concentrating the minds of computer scientists. some researchers argue that we  can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult  questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. unfortunately, that  plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure  against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.

solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in ai seems to be  possible but not easy. there are probably decades in which to plan for the  arrival of super intelligent machines. but the problem should not be dismissed  out of hand, as it has been by some ai researchers. some argue that humans and  machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible  unless machines share the goals of humans. others say we can just “switch them  off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that  possibility. still others think that super intelligent ai will never happen. on  september 11, 1933, famous physicist ernest rutherford stated, with confidence,  “anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is  talking moonshine.” however, on september 12, 1933, physicist leo szilard  invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.

aph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .

a. run out of human control

b. satisfy human’s real desires

c. command armies of killer robots

d. work faster than a mathematician

es with specific purposes are associated with living things partly  because they might be able to .

a. prevent themselves from being destroyed

b achieve their original goals independently

c. do anything successfully with given orders

d. beat humans in international chess matches

ing to some researchers, we can use firewalls to .

a. help super intelligent machines work better

b. be secure against evil human beings

c. keep machines from being harmed

d. avoid robots’ affecting the world

does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent  machines?

a. it will disappear with the development of ai.

b. it will get worse with human interference.

c. it will be solved but with difficulty.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

every animal sleeps,but the reason for this has remained lab  rats are not allowed to sleep,they die within a month. 71

one idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 72 we know  that,while awake,fresh memories are recorded by reinforeing (加强)connections  between brain cells,but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have  been unclear.

support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections  between neurons(神经元)in the brain can be weakened overnight,making room for fresh  memories to from the next day. 73

now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 74 the synapses  in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than  those taken before sleep,showing that the connections between neurons weaken  while sleeping.

if tononi`s theory is right,it would explain why,when we miss a night`s,we  find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information-our brains  may have smaller room for new experences.

their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time  even though the synapscs become team discovered that some synapses  seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 75 “you keep what matters,”tononi  says.

a. we should also try to sleep well the night before.

b. ti’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.

c. similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get  sick.

d. the processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with  memories.

e. that’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep  after learning.

f. “sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says giulio tononi, who  developed the idea.

g. tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in  the brains of 12 mice.
