第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
There’s no doubt that water is vital to any life. About 3 percent of the average adult human body is made of water. This includes most of your brain, heart, lungs, muscles and skin, and even about 30 percent of your bones. Yet there’s little scientific agreement about the exact amount of the stuff an individual should consume each day. So how much water do you actually need to drink to be healthy?
You may have heard that you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Yet, the downside of this rule, researchers say, is that drinking water by the glass is not the only way that humans take in it. The “8 X 8” rule essentially overlooks two big sources of daily water consumption. One such source is food. Everything you eat contains some water. Watermelons, for example, are more than 90 percent water by weight. Different diets naturally contain different amounts of waters, and the counts. The other key water sources are other beverages. Non-alcoholic drinks such as coffee, and tea, contain mostly water and all contribute to your hydration（水量）.
So, between all the food, water and other fluids you consume in a day, how much water should you aim to take in?
The National Academics of Sciences suggests that woman consume a total of approximately 2.7 liters (91 ounces) of warm from all beverages and foods each day and men 3.7 liters (125 ounces). But these are just general guidelines.
The truth is, there is no magic standard for hydration—everyone’s need vary depending on their age, weight, level of physical activity, general health and even the climate they live in. The more water you lose, the more water you’ll need to replace with food and drink. If you are looking for concrete advice, though, the best place to look is within. Drink up when you’re thirsty.
1、How does the author support the underlined sentence in Para 1?
A．By providing facts.
B．By asking a question.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By putting forward suggestions.
2、According to the “8 X 8” rule, how much water should we take in a day?

A．8 ounces B．64 ounces
C．91 ounces D．125 ounces
3、What’s the disadvantage of the “8 X 8” rule?
A．The water from both food and other beverages is ignored.
B．It includes the amount of water from both food and beverages.
C．It does not take water from drinks into account.
D．It overlooks the fact that we take in 90% of the water from fruits.
4、What can we infer from the final suggestion?
A．A man doing tiring physical work drunks less than 3.7 liters a week.
B．A person in good health drinks whenever he feels thirsty.
C．An overweight male in a hot summer drinks 125 ounces every two days.
D．A female eating a lot of watermelons drinks more than 91 ounces daily.

B
In 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entire French Scrabble Dictionary in just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards’ impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works—real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.
The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data—it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.
But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs—executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.
Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy—which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.
So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.
1、What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To introduce the topic.
B．To mention Nigel’s feat.
C．To stress the importance of good memory.
D．To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.
2、Which of the following best explains “outperform” underlined in paragraph 2?
A．Be superior to B．Be equal to
C．Be similar to D．Be related to
3、Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?
A．The writer. B．The shop assistant.
C．The babysitter. D．The psychologist.
4、What does the text suggest people do about job replacement of AI?
A．Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.
B．Get more support from the government.
C．Apply for the donation from companies.
D．Upgrade themselves all the time.
