Bias towards the present helps reduce near-term desires.What is life? Like most great questions, this one is easy to ask but difficult to answer. The r
5、eason is simple: we know of just one type of life and it s challenging to do science with a sample size of one. The field of artificial life-called ALife for short 一 is the systematic attempt to spell out life s fundamental principles. Many of these practitioners, so-called ALifers, think that someh
6、ow making life is the surest way to really understand what life is.So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field, s doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such comp
7、laints. Asking about “the pointv of ALife might be, well, missing the point entirely, he says. The existence of a living system is not about the use of anything. Alan says. Some people ask me, So what s the worth of artificial life? Do you ever think, What is the worth of your grandmother? ”As much
8、as many ALifers hate emphasizing their research s applications, the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs. Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife s cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamoredby a concept called open-ended evolution (演化).This is the capac
9、ity for a system to create essentially endless complexity, to be a sort of unovelty generatorv . The only system known to exhibit this is Earth, s biosphere. If the field of ALife manages to reproduce life s endless “creativity” in some virtual model, those same principles could give rise to truly i
10、nventive machines.Compared with the developments of Al, advances in ALife are harder to recognize. One reason is that ALife is a field in which the central concept 一 life itself 一 is undefined. The lack of agreement among ALifers doesn, t help either. The result is a diverse line of projects that ea
11、ch advance along their unique paths. For better or worse, ALife mirrors the very subject it studies. Its muddled (混舌L的)progression is a striking parallel (平行线)to the evolutionary struggles that have shaped Earth biosphere.Undefined and uncontrolled, ALife drives its followers to repurpose old ideas
12、and generated novelty. It may be, of course, that these characteristics aren t in any way surprising or singular. They may apply universally to all acts of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal suggests something: perhaps, just like life itself throughout the un

16、s as they make decisions about where to attendcollege. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision.35When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. 36Emerging research suggests that courses in
17、 lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. 37 The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predicto
18、rs of a wide range of college outcomes.Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册)or funding. 38 Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teachi
19、ng, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates.39 Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments.
20、In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools
21、 may be ranked lower.A. Higher education has achieved its true potential.B. Therefore, it s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.C. Quality teaching has been an important reputation-bui1ding factor.D. However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.E. Efforts to improve t
22、eaching at the university level have recently emerged.F. They re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.G. In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to otherranking factors.第三部分书面表达(共两节,32分)第一节(共4题;第(1)、(2)题各2分,第题3分,第题5分,共12分) 阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域
23、作答。Habit formation is the process by which behaviours become automatic. People develop countless habits as they explore the world, whether they are aware of them or not. Understanding how habits take shape may be helpful in changing bad habits.Habits are built through learning and repetition. A pers
24、on is thought to develop a habit in the course of pursuing goals by beginning to associate certain cues (刺激) with behavioural responses that help meet the goal. Over time, thoughts of the behaviour and ultimately the behaviour itself are likely to be triggered(触发)by these cues.A “habit loop(环)“ is a
25、 way of describing several related elements that produce habits. These elements are called the cue, the routine, and the reward. For example, stress could serve as a cue that one responds to by eating, which produces the reward - the reduction of stress. While a routine involves repeated behaviour,
26、it s not necessarily performed in response to a deep - rooted urge, as a habit is.Old habits can be difficult to shake, and healthy habits are often harder to develop. But through repetition, it s possible to form new habits. The amount of time needed to build a habit will depend on multiple factors
27、, including the individual and the intended behaviour. While youare able to pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many months to build a healthy habit. Take some time to think about what leads to bad habits and re - evaluate what you get out of them (or don t). Consider and keep in mind why yo
