In 2018, Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools should teach students. Most said students should spend less time memorizing facts and have more space for creative activities. As the Internet grows more powerful, students can access (獲得) knowledge easily. Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads? Civilizations (文明) develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary. In the Agricultural (農(nóng)業(yè)的) Age, a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills. When societies industrialized, the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget. Nowadays, smart machines give us access to most human knowledge. It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter? Researchers have recognized several problems that may happen. For one, human beings have biases (偏見), and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective, but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers. Another problem relates to the ease of accessing information. When there were no puters, efforts were required to get knowledge from other people, or go to the library. We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books, and what lies in our heads. But today, the Internet gives us the information we need quickly. This can lead to the mistaken belief—the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along. In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence, we have easy access to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily. The collapse of any of the networks of relations our wellbeing (健康) depends upon, such as food and energy, would produce terrible results. Without food we get hungry。 without energy we feel cold. And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age. We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills. As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks, and can be found when we need them, perhaps they39。re not really forgotten. Still, as time goes on, we gradually but unquestionably bee strangers to future people.(1)Why are smart machines likely to increase our biases? A.Because they go off course in testing and scoring.B.Because we control the training process on them.C.Because we offer them too much information.D.Because they overuse the provided answers.(2)The ease of accessing information from the Internet ________. A.frees us from making efforts to learn new skillsB.prevents civilizations from being lost at a high speedC.misleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledgeD.separates the facts we have from those in the smart machines(3)The word collapse in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. A.a sudden failureB.the basic ruleC.a disappointing startD.the gradual development(4)What is the writer39。s main purpose in writing this passage? A.To question about the standards of information storage.B.To discuss our problems of munication with machines.C.To stress the importance of improving our memorizing ability.D.To remind us of the risk of depending on machines to remember.【答案】 (1)B(2)C(3)A(4)D 【解析】【分析】大意:作者主要講的是用機(jī)器記信息可能會(huì)產(chǎn)生的不良影響或后果。 (1)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù) Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective, but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers. 機(jī)器人的程序是由人類編程的,人類控制它們的訓(xùn)練程序,故選B。 (2)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù) This can lead to the mistaken belief—the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all ,故選C。 (3)詞義猜測(cè)題。 根據(jù)The collapse of any of the networks of relations our wellbeing (健康) depends upon, produce terrible results. 可知,此處指我們健康所依靠的網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的任何一個(gè)突然崩潰或垮掉了,都會(huì)產(chǎn)生很糟糕的后果。collapse意為崩潰,垮掉,故選A。 (4)主旨題。通讀全文可知,作者主要講的是用機(jī)器記信息可能會(huì)產(chǎn)生的不良影響或后果,故D項(xiàng)符合題意,故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】詞義猜測(cè)題和主旨題是閱讀理解題中??碱}型。詞句猜測(cè)題需要聯(lián)系上下文,推出詞句的意思;主旨題需要通讀全文,了解大意之后找出中心思想。5.閱讀理解 Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You tum around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists(R y3)say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a six sense really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist(心理學(xué)家) at
