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
We’ve heard of robots and AI（Artificial Intelligence）taking human jobs, but I bet mayors（市长）don’t really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were wrong, and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.
AI can’t legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campaign （竞选运动） as “AI Mayor”. Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having them collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.
“For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election,” human candidate Michihito Matsuda announced on Twitter. “Artificial Intelligence will change Toma City. With the birth of an AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics.”
The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out（大声鸣响）promises of an AI utopia （乌托邦）and asking for support.
Some people called Michihito Matsuda’s campaign a stunt （噱头）, as a human would still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background, adding that it had to be a better choice.
1、What’s the advantage of the AI mayor according to Michihito Matsuda?
A．Maximizing the use of AI. B．Replacing human officials.
C．Creating balanced policies. D．Bringing him beneficial effects.
2、How will AI run for the mayor?
A．It will abolish many old policies.
B．It will ask for support on the Internet.
C．It will make public speeches, dressed like a human.
D．It will compete similarly to human competitors.
3、What’s the citizens’ attitude toward Michihito Matsuda’s campaign?
A．They believe AI will win. B．All consider it to be tricky.
C．It is supposed to be a failure definitely. D．Some think it’s worthy of expectation.
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．AI Runs for the Mayor. B．The Advantages of AI.
C．AI Replaces Human in Management. D．The Patterns of AI Management.

B
I have been watching my daughters play sports since they were four, and have been shocked at how some parents in the crowd behave.
At soccer games, when my girls were very young, parents would be screaming at their children to get their heads into the game, to charge, to “get” an opposing player, or to “kill it.” I understand parents want to encourage their children and their team—but at some point it becomes too much.
My daughter Grace is a high school and AAU (Association of American Universities) basketball player and a very good one at that. During a recent game, a parent sitting near me was shouting loudly to her daughter, standing up, expressing displeasure about the way her team was playing and, during halftime, speaking loudly about her personal life. After having her in my ear for more than half of the game, I was so put off that I had to move.
Admittedly, I am the quiet parent at games. I clap for the schoolgirls when they make wonderful plays. For the most part, however, I remain silent. Shouting out makes them nervous.
I asked Grace to weigh in on this, and she tells me: “Some parents become extremely emotionally invested in sports games, which can become a problem for the players. The worst thing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent,’ and they don’t know that’s your parent.”
I am all for parent spectators cheering on their children and the rest of the team. But I hope you can cheer your children on in a positive way. Shouting things like, “Where’s your head?” “Go after her!” is not, in my view, the way to cheer on high school students or younger children.
If you have nothing positive to say, hold your tongue. If you find yourself struggling to keep it together, get some fresh air during halftime.
1、Unable to stand the mother nearby, the author .
A．told her to shut up B．found another seat
C．asked Grace for help D．refused to talk to her
2、In Grace’s opinion, crazy parents in the audience will make players feel .
A．helpless B．impatient C．scared D．ashamed
3、The author is against parent spectators .
A．keeping silent all the time B．saying unpleasant words
C．cheering on the players D．leaving during halftime
4、Who are the intended readers of the text?
A．Parents. B．Teenage players. C．Soccer spectators. D．Coaches.
