The Cornell system for taking notes, created by Professor Walter Pauk of Cornell University during the 1950s. It is mainly used to help students save time and make their note taking the most effective. The system consists of the following steps.
Divide your paper into two columns.
Use a large loose-leaf* notebook for your note taking. And only use one side of each leaf of paper in the notebook. Draw a vertical line two and a half inches* from the left side of your paper. This is the recall column of your notes and key words or phrases can be written in the recall column.
Take notes in the note-taking column.
All your lecture* notes will be taken to the right of this paper and try to use abbreviations. You don't need to write down the complete words or phrases, for example, just write the first letter of each word.
Think of your notes as an outline of the lecture and focus on getting just the main points down. The main points can help you to review your notes easily in the future.
Review your notes within 24 hours.
After each lecture, read through your notes and make them clearer if necessary. Now use the two-and-a-half-inch column to the left of your notes. Write down the main ideas of the lecture. You will have to reread the lecturer's ideas, think them over, and put them in your own words if you can. Cover up the right-hand part of your notes and recite* the general ideas and thoughts of the lecture from memory.
Using the Cornell system can help organize your notes, actively involve you in the creation of knowledge, improve your study skills, and lead to academic success.

To many people, art is a human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence（AI）creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. Some people worry that AI might someday replace（替代）artists.
But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now. Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention. AI was used to create the music based on the protein（蛋白质）structure of COVID-19. The music lasted nearly two hours. The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician and MIT professor（教授）of engineering. He assigned (指定) a unique note (独特的音符) to each amino acid (氨基酸) is the protein. The AI then translated these notes into music.
Listeners found the project “mind-blowing”. “It allows me to see the virus in a new way,” said one listener. This surprising combination (结合) between science and art could not be achieved without AI. As The Verge wrote, “AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways, creating things beyond (超过) what they have ever thought was possible before.”
Apart from creating imaginative works, AI can also take care of repetitive (重复乏味的) tasks for artists. For example, in the comic and cartoon industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动) color in black-and-white line drawings. Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup. it can give artists room to experiment (实验) by cutting down the time it takes to color each picture.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip. “Art of every kind has always been influenced by technological developments.” AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world if it’s welcomed and not unfairly feared.
1.According to the passage, AI can’t ________ now.
A.write poems B.paint C.replace artists D.create music
2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the third and fourth paragraphs?
A.AI created a piece of music about COVID-19.
B.Many of AI’s art creations are beyond artists’ imagination.
C.Science and art can be combined with the help of AI.
D.Markus Buehler was not a professor of engineering, but a musician.
3.The underlined phrase “Apart from” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A.Besides B.Instead of C.Because of D.According to
4.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Technological developments have greatly influenced people’s daily life.
B.AI has been widely used in science research.
C.AI is bringing more help to the art world as a useful tool.
D.AI’s creativity has caused more and mare worries.

Wearing a white blouse, Ai-Da studies her subject and begins to draw. She looks like any artist at work. However, the "beep ... beep ... beep" noise from her arm gives her away. Ai-Da is, in fact, a robot.
Ai-Da has been described as the world's "first AI (人工智能) robot artist". She takes her name from Ada Lovelace, the world's first female computer programmer. Scientists at Oxford University developed AI systems (系统) for Ai-Da. The robot has cameras in her eyeballs. After she has studied a subject, she will use her left arm to draw. Now, Ai-Da can only use a pencil for sketches (素描). The plan is for her to paint.
Ai-Da is not the first AI system to produce artworks. Since 2006, scientists have been developing software (软件) to turn photos into drawings. Last year, an artwork created using AI was sold in New York for $132,500. However, Ai-Da's human-like appearance brings something new to the field.
In June, Ai-Da opened her first exhibition at Oxford. There were about 30 drawings by the robot. Ai-Da, standing next to her artworks, attracted (吸引) many visitors.
Ai-Da's inventor, Aidan Meller, talked about the importance of the robot. "Ai-Da brings a new voice to the art world," she said. "AI is going to be the big thing of the 2020s. That influences us greatly." Meller hopes the exhibition was just the start and that more will follow to show how AI is influencing human life.

The rockets take astronauts and man-made satellites(卫星)into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather checking and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down?
There are two opposite forces influencing the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation(地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth and is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away. The other force is created by the turning of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round.
Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by, the satellite loses its speed, which makes the force pulling it towards the earth stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite fall down to the earth.
1.Two same forces have an influence on the satellite.
2.The force created by the turning keeps the satellite from flying away.
3.Two opposite forces make the satellite turn round and round.
4.The satellite will stay in space forever.
