解析：本文首段提出作者观点：我们无需担心弗兰肯斯坦博士的科学怪人，因为人类会参与AI发展的每一步，并对其负责。随后介绍具体事例“谷歌将AI技术应用于战争领域的做法遭到了员工的联合抗议，谷歌因此宣布了AI道德六原则”，且作者指出这意义重大。末段作者展开评论：“AI道德问题”的本质是“A1创造者及其目的的道德问题”，人们真正要担心的不是“AI技术的失控（即文中monster）”，而是“AI创造者的善良（即文中Dr Frankenstein）”。A.体现全文核心观点，为正确项。[解题技巧]B.偏离全文论述主题，文中并未涉及AI技术的发展道路。C.偏离文章重心，文章重在借“谷歌秘密参与Maven项目，后被发现并逍员工抵制，随后做出调整、公布AI道德六原则”来论证“AI道德问题的本质”，而非重在探讨“Maven项目的本质”，且作者并未指出这是一个阴谋，Conspiracy贬义色彩过浓。D.违背作者态度：作者并非认为应该警惕AI威胁．而是认为“AI威胁论”是误导性的。

4 Hogg Products Company (HPC), based in a developing country, was recently wholly acquired by American OverseasInvestments (AOI), a North American holding company. The new owners took the opportunity to completely reviewHPC’s management, culture and systems. One of the first things that AOI questioned was HPC’s longstandingcorporate code of ethics.The board of AOI said that it had a general code of ethics that HPC, as an AOI subsidiary, should adopt. Simon Hogg,the chief executive of HPC, disagreed however, and explained why HPC should retain its existing code. He said thatHPC had adopted its code of ethics in its home country which was often criticised for its unethical business behaviour.Some other companies in the country were criticised for their ‘sweat shop’ conditions. HPC’s adoption of its code ofethics, however, meant that it could always obtain orders from European customers on the guarantee that productswere made ethically and in compliance with its own highly regarded code of ethics. Mr Hogg explained that HPC hadan outstanding ethical reputation both locally and internationally and that reputation could be threatened if it wasforced to replace its existing code of ethics with AOI’s more general code.When Ed Tanner, a senior director from AOI’s head office, visited Mr Hogg after the acquisition, he was shown HPC’soperation in action. Mr Hogg pointed out that unlike some other employers in the industry, HPC didn’t employ childlabour. Mr Hogg explained that although it was allowed by law in the country, it was forbidden by HPC’s code ofethics. Mr Hogg also explained that in his view, employing child labour was always ethically wrong. Mr Tanner askedwhether the money that children earned by working in the relatively safe conditions at HPC was an important sourceof income for their families. Mr Hogg said that the money was important to them but even so, it was still wrong toemploy children, as it was exploitative and interfered with their education. He also said that it would alienate theEuropean customers who bought from HPC partly on the basis of the terms of its code of ethics.Required:(a) Describe the purposes and typical contents of a corporate code of ethics.

Part A 2 BBC ‘s Casualty programme on Saturday evening gave viewers a vote as to which of two patients should benefit from a donation. But it failed to tell us that we would not need to make so many life-and-death decisions if we got to grip with the chronic organ shortage. Being pussyfooting around in its approach to dead bodies, the Government is giving a kicking to some of the most vulnerable in our society. One depressing consequence of this is that a significant number of those on the waiting list take off to foreign countries to purchase an organ from a living third-world donor, something that is forbidden in the United Kingdom. The poor have no option but to wait in vain.The Human Tissue Authority’s position on the retention of body parts for medical research after a post-mortem examination is equally flawed. The new consent forms could have been drafted by some evil person seeking to stop the precious flow of human tissue into the pathological laboratory. The forms are so lengthy that doctors rarely have time to complete them and, even if they try, the wording is so graphic that relatives tend to leg it before signing. In consequence, the number of post mortems has fallen quickly.The wider worry is that the moral shortsightedness evident in the Human Tissue Act seems to infect every facet of the contemporary debate on medical ethics. Take the timid approach to embryonic stem cell research. The United States, for example, refuses government funding to scientists who wish to carry out potentially ground-breaking research on the surplus embryos created by IVF treatment.Senators profess to be worried that embryonic research fails to respect the dignity of “potential persons”. Rarely can such a vacuous concept have found its way into a debate claming to provide enlightenment. When is this “potential” supposed to kick in? In case you were wondering, these supposedly precious embryos are at the same stage of development as those that are routinely terminated by the Pill without anyone crying. Thankfully, the British Government has refused the position of the United States and operates one of the most liberal regimes in Europe, in which licences have been awarded to researchers to create embryos for medical research. It is possible that, in years to come, scientists will be able to grow organs in the lab and find cures for a range of debilitating diseases.The fundamental problem with our approach to ethics is our inability to separate emotion from policy. The only factor that should enter our moral and legal deliberations is that of welfare, a concept that is meaningless when applied to entities that lack self-consciousness. Never forget that the research that we are so reluctant to conduct upon embryos and dead bodies is routinely carried out on living, pain-sensitive animals.第6题：Which of the following is true of Sony’s acquisition of Columbia Pictures?［A］ It was motivated by Morita’s desire to project an image of success.［B］ Sony’s top executives were quite convinced of its benefits for the company.［C］ Entertainment industry insiders believed it was the failure of Hollywood.［D］ It was the expensive expansion from electronics into entertainment.

Passage 1
It's one of our common beliefs that mice are afraid of cats. Scientists have long known that even if a mouse has never seen a cat before, it is still able to detect chemical signals released from it and run away in fear. This has always been thought to be something that is hard-wired into a mouse s brain.
But now Wendy Ingram, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, has challenged this common sense. She has found a way to"cure" mice of their inborn fear of cats by infecting them with a parasite, reported the science journal Nature.
The parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, might sound unfamiliar to you, but the shocking fact is that up to one-third of people around the world are infected by it. This parasite can cause different diseases among humans, especially pregnant women--it is linked to blindness and the death of unborn babies.
However, the parasite's effects on mice are unique. Ingram and her team measured how mice reacted to a cat's urine(尿) before and after it was infected by the parasite. They noted that normal mice stayed far away from the urine while mice that were infected with the parasite walked freely around the test area.
But that's not all. The parasite was found to be more powerful than originally thought—even after researchers cured the mice of the infection. They no longer reacted with fear to a cat's smell,which could indicate that the infection has caused a permanent change in mice's brains.
Why does a parasite change a mouse's brain instead of making it sick like it does to humans?
The answer lies in evolution.
"It's exciting scary to know how a parasite can manipulate a mouse's brain this way," Ingram said. But she also finds it inspiring."Typically if you have a bacterial infection, you go to a doctor and take antibiotics and the infection is cleared and you expect all the symptoms to also go away."
She said, but this study has proven that wrong."This may have huge implications for infectious disease medicine."
The passage is mainly about__________.

It’s one of our common beliefs that mice are afraid of cats. Scientists have long known that even if a mouse has never seen a cat before, it is still able to detect chemical signals released from it and run away in fear. This has always been thought to be something that is hard-wired into a mouse’ s brain.
But now Wendy Ingram, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, has challenged this common sense. She has found a way to “cure” mice of their inborn fear of cats by infecting them with a parasite, reported the science journal Nature.
The parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, might sound unfamiliar to you, but the shocking fact is that up to one-third of people around the world are infected by it. This parasite can cause different diseases among humans, especially pregnant women—it is linked to blindness and the death of unborn babies.
However, the parasite’s effects on mice are unique. Ingram and her team measured how mice reacted to a cat's urine (尿) before and after it was infected by the parasite. They noted that normal mice stayed far away from the urine while mice that were infected with the parasite walked freely around the test area.
But that's not all. The parasite was found to be more powerful than originally thought—even after researchers cured the mice of the infection. They no longer reacted with fear to a cat's smell, which could indicate that the infection has caused a permanent change in mice's brains.
Why does a parasite change a mouse's brain instead of making it sick like it does to humans The answer lies in evolution.
“It’s exciting scary to know how a parasite can manipulate a mouse's brain this way,"Ingram said. But she also finds it inspiring. "Typically if you have a bacterial infection, you go to a doctor and take antibiotics and the infection is cleared and you expect all the symptoms to also go away,” she said, but this study has proven that wrong. “This may have huge implications for infectious disease medicine."
