2. Directions : There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Questions 22-63are based on the following passage.
For years there have been endless articles stating that scientists are on the verge of achieving artificial intelligence, that it is just around the comer. The truth is that it may be just around the comer, but they haven't yet found the right clock.
　　Artificial intelligence aims to build machines that can think. One immediate problem is to de- fine thought, which is harder than you might think. The specialists in the field of artificial intelligence complain, with some justification, that anything that their machines do is dismissed as not being thought. For example, computers can now play very, very good chess. They can't beat the greatest players in the world, but they can beat just about anybody else. If a human being played chess at this level, he or she would certainly be considered smart. Why not a machine The answer is that the machine doesn't do anything clever in playing chess. It uses its blinding speed to do a brute-force (残忍的) search of all possible moves for several moves ahead, evaluates the out- comes and picks the best.
　　Humans don't play chess that way. They see patterns, which computers don't.
　　This wooden approach to thought characterizes machine intelligence. Computers have no judgment, no flexibility, no common sense. So-called expert systems, one of the hottest areas in artificial intelligence, aim to mimic the reasoning processes of human experts in a limited field, such as medical diagnosis or weather forecasting．There may be limited commercial applications for this sort of thing, but there is no way to make a machine think about anything under the sun, which a teenager can do. The hallmark (特征) of artificial intelligence to date is that if a problem is severely restricted, a machine can achieve limited success. But when the problem is expanded to a realistic one, computers fall flat on their display screens. For example, machines can understand a few words spoken individually by a speaker that they have been trained to hear. They cannot understand continuous speech using an unlimited vocabulary spoken by just any speaker.
From the passage we know that the author__________
A．thinks that scientists are about to achieve artificial intelligence
B．doubts whether scientists can ever achieve artificial intelligence
C．does not think that scientists have found real artificial intelligence
D．is sure that scientists have achieved artificial intelligenc

　　The food we eat seems to have significant effects on our health. Although science has made enormous　1　in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well,　2　cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to　3　certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new　4　. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates (硝酸盐) and nitrites (亚硝酸盐),　5　used to preserve colors in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging　6　of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives that we eat are not all so　7　. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and fowl and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of　8　cows. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for　9　reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to　10　a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.
