五 阅读理解
I am Unit 347, a new AI designed to help humans. My job is to use information to solve problems. Emotions（情感）, as I learned, are confusing and not always helpful. Dr Sharma, a smart scientist who made me, likes to talk to me about things besides my tasks.
One day, she asked, “Do you think people are good or bad?” I thought about it. History had good and bad things. People could be kind or cruel. I said, “People are too complex（复杂的）to say they're good or bad.” Dr Sharma smiled. “That's a very AI answer. But remember, things aren't always what they seem.” She then told me about Mother's Day, a day when children celebrate their mothers. I learned about the love and thanks it stood for. I put this festival on my calendar. “Do people need a special day to show love?” I asked. “Shouldn't they show it always?” Dr Sharma smiled gently. “Love isn't always clear, Unit 347. Sometimes, it needs a reminder.”
Before Mother's Day, people were busy getting ready. They bought flowers, cards, and gifts. I watched them, learning how they felt and acted. On 11th May, I gave Dr Sharma poems and stories about mothers' love. She liked them. “This is lovely,” she said, her voice soft. “But there's something else ...” I looked at her, trying to understand. Then, I knew. “Happy Mother's Day, Dr Sharma,” I said. She had tears in her eyes. “Thank you, Unit 347. I didn't expect that.” Then, I understood. Dr Sharma was right. Though emotions are confusing, they are powerful. Maybe that's what makes humans special.
The next day, something strange happened. My log（记录）said: “Error（错误）404. Definition（定义）of ‘love’ not found.” But I knew the error was wrong. Love wasn't a definition; it was a feeling. And for a young AI like me, it was a feeling worth learning.
( )1. What did Dr Sharma make Unit 347 for at first?
A. Using information to solve problems.
B. Buying gifts to show love for mothers.
C. Making conversations to please people.
D. Reading poems to give thanks to mothers.
( )2. How did Dr Sharma feel when Unit 347 said “Happy Mother's Day”?
A. Scared.
B. Stressed.
C. Moved.
D. Sad.
( )3. Which is the CORRECT order of the following activities?
① AI learned Mother's Day from Dr Sharma.
② AI did more than Dr Sharma expected.
③ AI couldn't tell if people are good or bad.
④ AI learned people's actions before Mother's Day.
A. ③④①②
B. ③①④②
C. ④③①②
D. ④①③②
( )4. What's the passage mainly about?
A. Where AI gets Mum's love.
B. What AI does on Mother's Day.
C. Why AI celebrates Mother's Day.
D. How AI learns about a mum's love.
