Writing and creativity may be traditionally thought of as the abilities of humans, but artificial intelligence (AI) systems are making progress in this area. Now, there's an AI named Shelley who can write pretty incredible horror stories.
Shelley is a deep learning AI system that was developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and named after Victorian novelist Mary Shelley, who penned Frankenstein. Like most AI robots, Shelley gains its “intelligence” by data fed to it, which, in this case, is a website devoted to sharing original horror tales. The team from the lab used the stories to teach the AI how to tell a horror story that a human would find understandable and scary. Shelley can now create short paragraphs of horror stories by itself.
Shelley starts new stories every hour on her Twitter account, and any time a follower continues with a new sentence, it uses that contribution to determine a logical next sentence, steadily building a story connected with her follower's. Users can reply with up to three tweets and end their additions to the story with “your turn”. Shelley will then pick up where they left off. It's important to note that Shelley won't continue every story that's tweeted by her.
Programmers, film−makers, movie authors and novelists have long been facing the creative challenge by the popularity of horror shows, movies and games, and have judged how much people love being scared while knowing they are not in a real danger. Shelley is just a product of the creative challenge. “Creating an emotion such as fear remains one of the cornerstones of human creativity. We wonder what the limits of artificial intelligence are: Can machines learn to scare us?” said one researcher.
While scientists consider the AI capable of creating its own literature seems to have a long way to go, it's an interesting example of AI and humans working together to create something entirely new.
1. What enables Shelley to work?
A. A website set up by writing teachers.
B. The ideas provided by horror authors.
C. A system controlled by online readers.
D. The data collected from horror stories.
2. How does Shelley continue her story?
A. Relying on users' responses.
B. Following her own storyline.
C. Guided by certain key words.
D. Inspired by users' questions.
3. Why is Shelley produced according to paragraph 4?
A. To save human authors' time.
B. To improve people's reading skills.
C. To study human emotions through AI.
D. To bring inspirations to human authors.
4. What's the author's attitude towards Shelley?
A. Objective.
B. Worried.
C. Doubtful.
D. Positive.

While e−books are on the rise, most people, especially young kids still prefer printed versions that they can think over for hours on end. Though that is an excellent habit, it also means cutting down precious trees. But what if the book could turn into a tree? Now thanks to a Brazilian children's book publisher, that is possible, at least for one book!
The “Tree Book Tree” programme is the thought of Argentina's Pequeno Editor and FCB Buenos Aires. Their first creation Mi Papa Estuvo en la Selva (My Father Was in the Jungle), has been around in a regular format for many years. In the book, a young boy takes the readers on an exciting journey of his father's adventures inside an Ecuadorian jungle.
The book that is made from acid−free paper, printed with natural ink and hand−stitch (手工缝合), is completely recyclable. Jacaranda (蓝花楹) seeds are carefully sown into the pages to help it transform into a tree.
After a kid finishes reading the book (over and over again), he or she waters the cover and places it in a sunny area inside the house. Once the seeds sprout, the book can be planted in the dirt in any location the owner decides. From then on, the book just has to be nurtured like any other plant. Franco says they picked the Jacaranda, because “It's a tree that provides excellent shade and offers oxygen to the environment.”
The only unfortunate part is that the publishers are not planning to transform their other books or even make more copies of this “tree book”. This non−commercial project was just a one−time project to make everyone aware of the resources used when producing something even as common as a book.
5. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. Reading e−books is an excellent habit.
B. Printed books should be thrown away.
C. Printed books have consumed too many trees.
D. Young kids have a special preference for e−books.
6. What is special about the book Mi Papa Estuvo en la Selva?
A. It can be read again and again.
B. It can be easily stored for future use.
C. It can be transformed into a tree if planted.
D. It is about an exciting journey in the jungle.
7. What can a kid do after finishing reading the book?
A. Nurture the book in the dirt.
B. Put the book away on a shelf.
C. Use the book to protect flowers.
D. Sow Jacaranda seeds into the book.

答案： 【语篇解读】本文介绍了一种用特殊材料制作成的新型环保书。孩子在看完这本书以后，可以将这本书栽种起来，通过培养和照顾，让它长成一棵树。
5. C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Though that is an excellent habit，it also means cutting down precious trees.（尽管这是一个非常好的习惯，但这种习惯也意味着要砍掉很多珍贵的树木。）”可知，纸质书籍需要耗费大量的树木。故选C项。
6. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But what if the book could turn into a tree? Now thanks to a Brazilian children's book publisher，that is possible，at least for one book!”和第二段的前两句可知，这本书的特殊之处在于：如果将这本书种植，它可以长成一棵树。
7. A 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Jacaranda seeds are carefully sown into the pages to help it transform into a tree.”及第四段中的“After a kid finishes reading the book（over and over again），he or she waters the cover and places it in a sunny area inside the house. Once the seeds sprout，the book can be planted in the dirt in any location the owner decides.”可知，孩子读完书后可以将书种在土里。
