An undated proof image shows the likeness of Asian American actress Anna May Wong, to be cast on the fifth 1 coin in the American Women Quarters (AWQ) Program to be issued by the US Mint. The news of Chinese American actress Anna May Wong becoming the first Asian American to appear on US currency has been met with excitement and hope from the Asian American community.
The US Mint began shipping quarters featuring Wong for circulation on Monday.
Anna May Wong was a descendent of Chinese immigrants who was born and grew up in the US in the early 20th century. Her 2 pursuit of ideals and hard work, as well as her unwavering belief enabled her to win achievements and recognition in the film and television industry, Cai Chenghua, president of the All- American Chinese Association, said.
Anna May Wong was born Wong Liu Tsong on Jan 3, 1905, in Los Angeles. She is considered the first Chinese American movie star in Hollywood. Despite having a substantial acting career that 3 silent film, sound film, television, radio and theater, Wong had to constantly battle the brazen 4 that dominated Hollywood in her time.
In announcing the decision to depict Wongs image on the quarter, the US Mint said Wong was chosen for being a courageous 5 who championed for increased representation and more multi-dimensional roles for Asian American actors .
This quarter is designed to reflect the 6 and depth of accomplishments by Anna May Wong, who overcame challenges and 7 she faced during her lifetime, Mint Director Ventris Gibson said in a statement on Oct 17.
Wong is one of five women being honored in the American Women Quarters Program, which seeks to highlight the accomplishments and contributions of American women. The other four honorees are: writer Maya Angelou; Sally Ride, an educator and the first American woman in space; Wilma Mankiller, the first woman elected principal chief ofthe Cherokee Nation; and Nina Otero-Warren, a key figure in New Mexicos womens suffrage movement.
As a 8 woman, Wong fought bravely against the odds in life, Cai said. He also commended Wongs solidarity with the Chinese, noting that she had deep feelings for China as a descendant of Chinese
immigrants. Wong donated her jewelry collection to help 9 the Chinese effort during the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he said.
We hope that more Wong Liu Tsongs will emerge in the US, who, while achieving success in their career, also care deeply about their hometown and contribute to the society, Cai said.
Wong was born to second-generation Taishanese Chinese American parents in Los Angeles, just one block north of 10. She fell in love with films and acting at a young age. At age 17, Wong got her first 11 role in The Toll of the Sea. However, despite her talents as an actress, Wong was often offered supporting roles of stereotypical Asian characters in films, such as an exotic slave girl or a dragon lady, a 12 depicting Asian women as strong, fierce and deceitful.
Throughout her career, Wong consistently pushed for greater representations of Asian American actors. Her hard work bore fruit. Wong was given the part of a prominent and sympathetic Chinese American doctor in The King of Chinatown in 1939. Her role in that film was considered a breakthrough for Wong and other Asian American actors. In 1960, Wong became the first Asian American actress to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, about a year before she died of a heart attack at age 56.
Bing Chen, co-founder of Gold House, a nonprofit focused on elevating Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to lead and succeed in culture and commerce, called the new quarter 13 and praised Wong as a star for generations in an interview with The Associated Press. However, Chen noted that anti-Asian hate incidents and lack of representation in the media persist now.
In a slate of years when Asian women have faced extensive challenges from being attacked to objectified on screen to being the least likely group to be promoted to corporate management this currency 14 what many of us have known all along: (theyre) here and worthy, Chen said in a statement to The Associated Press.
Its impossible to forget, though, as a 15 community, that Asian Americans constantly struggle between being successful and being seen, he added.
III. Reading comprehension
Two sections are included in this part. Section A consists of some multiple-choice questions and Section B consists of some short answer questions. Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET (30 points).
Section A Multiple Choice Questions
In this section there are three passages followed by thirteen multiple-choice questions. For each multiple choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.
Passage 1
The most important question in 21st-century economics may well be what to do with all the superfluous people. What will conscious humans do, once we have highly intelligent non-conscious algorithms(算法) that can do almost everything better?
Throughout history the job market was divided into three main sectors: agriculture, industry and services. Until about 1800, the vast majority of people worked in agriculture, and only a small minority worked in industry and services. During the Industrial Revolution people in developed countries left the fields and herds. Most began working in industry, but growing numbers also took up jobs in the services sector. In recent
decades developed countries underwent another revolution, as industrial jobs vanished, whereas the services sector expanded. In 2010 only 2 percent ofAmericans worked in agriculture, 20 percent worked in industry, 78 percent worked as teachers, doctors, webpage designers and so forth. When mindless algorithms are able to teach, diagnose and design better than humans, what will we do?
This is not an entirely new question. Ever since the Industrial Revolution erupted, people feared that mechanisation might cause mass unemployment. This never happened, because as old professions became obsolete, new professions evolved, and there was always something humans could do better than machines. Yet this is not a law of nature, and nothing guarantees it will continue to be like that in the future. Humans have two basic types of abilities: physical abilities and cognitive abilities. As long as machines competed with us merely in physical abilities, you could always find cognitive tasks that humans do better. So machines took over purely manual jobs, while humans focused on jobs requiring at least some cognitive skills. Yet what will happen once algorithms outperform us in remembering, analysing and recognising patterns?
The idea that humans will always have a unique ability beyond the reach of non-conscious algorithms is just wishful thinking. The current scientific answer to this pipe dream can be summarised in three simple principles:
1. Organisms are algorithms. Every animal including Homo sapiens is an assemblage of organic algorithms shaped by natural selection over millions of years of evolution.
2. Algorithmic calculations are not affected by the materials from which you build the calculator. Whether you build an abacus from wood, iron or plastic, two beads plus two beads equals four beads.
3. Hence there is no reason to think that organic algorithms can do things that non-organic algorithms will never be able to replicate or surpass. As long as the calculations remain valid, what does it matter whether the algorithms are manifested in carbon or silicon?
True, at present there are numerous things that organic algorithms do better than non-organic ones, and experts have repeatedly declared that something will forever remain beyond the reach of non-organic algorithms. But it turns out that forever often means no more than a decade or two. Until a short time ago, facial recognition was a favourite example of something which even babies accomplish easily but which escaped even the most powerful computers on earth. Today facial-recognition programs are able to recognise people far more efficiently and quickly than humans can.
In the 1980s when people discussed the unique nature ofhumanity, they habitually used chess as primary proof of human superiority. They believed that computers would never beat humans at chess. On 10 February 1996, IBMs Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov, laying to rest that particular claim for human pre-eminence. In February 2015 a program developed by Google DeepMind learned by itself how to play forty-nine classic Atari games.
In the nineteenth century the Industrial Revolution created a huge new class of urban proletariats. In the twenty-first century we might witness the creation of a new massive class: people devoid of any economic, political or even artistic value, who contribute nothing to the prosperity, power and glory of society.
In September 2013 two Oxford researchers, Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne, published The Future of Employment, in which they surveyed the likelihood of different professions being taken over by computer algorithms within the next twenty years. The algorithm developed by Frey and Osborne to do the calculations estimated that 47 percent of US jobs are at high risk. For example, there is a 99 percent probability that by 2033 human telemarketers and insurance underwriters will lose their jobs to algorithms.
