Two of our grandchildren were able to join us. Having precelebrated my Father39。s Day and it being on our minds, my wife asked this question only this morning: Do you remember anything about your father? While this subject had e up before, however, the question had not been put so bluntly(直率的). I answered No. My only memory is of the few photos outside. You see, my father died when I was only four years old. Many people have lost their father early in life and it is easy to feel somewhat sorry for having to deal with such a situation, especially when the death has occurred when you are at an early age. On reflection, I think I do not remember anything because he passed away when he was a member of the Royal Australian Air Force. He was a Corporal(下士) doing land based duties, however, a medical condition took his life. It was 1942. The 2nd World War was in full battle and Australia was being attacked. My Mum and I with my younger brother, were living with my grandparents and I can only imagine the emotional circumstances that existed in the household at that time. Probably not something that would leave a memory. What I would like to say at this time, as the question is often asked, What did you learn from your father? The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life. What I do remember is growing up wondering if I would live to his age, and after I did, thinking each year the bonus(津貼) of life I had been blessed with when pared to my father. I have sometimes felt disappointment in not knowing my father but life has moved on. However, can I say to those who do have fathers, celebrate today with him and return him all the love and happiness he has given to you.（1）Why did the author answered No in Para 4? didn39。t want to talk about his father. father died when he was very young. was much disappointed in his father. was no photo of his father left.（2）What do we know about the author? is the only child of his parents. father died of a medical condition. remembered quite a lot about his father. lived with his parents during World War II.（3）The father39。s passing makes the author____. the love of his own life. to live longer than his father. very disappointed all the time. to get more bonus from life.（4）What is the author mainly talking about in this passage? father39。s life. Father39。s Day. fatherless childhood. father39。s influence.【答案】 （1）B（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者講述了父親的離世對自己的影響——讓他認識到了自己生命中的愛。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的You see, my father died when I was only four years old.可知，作者回答說不記得關于父親的事情了是因為父親在作者很小的時候就離世了，故選B。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的however, a medical condition took his life. It was 1942.可知，作者的父親于1942年死于疾病，故選B。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第七段中的The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life.可知，父親的離世讓作者認識到了自己生命中的愛，故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。通讀全文，特別是根據(jù)最后兩段內容可知，作者由父親節(jié)入手講述了父親的離世對自己的影響——讓他認識到了自己生命中的愛，故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Let us all raise a glass to AlphaGo and the advance of artificial intelligence. AlphaGo, DeepMind39。s Goplaying AI, just defeated the best Goplaying human, Lee Sedol. But as we drink to its success, we should also begin trying to understand what it means for the future. The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that in order to win against a player like Lee. AlphaGo was designed to adopt a human—like style of gameplay by using a relatively recent developmentdeep learning. Deep learning uses large data sets, machine learning algorithms （計算程序） and deep neural networks to teach the AI how to perform a particular set of tasks. Rather than programming plex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves. Then, AlphaGo played against itself, tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time. The results speak for themselves. Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations. It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour. Commenting after his first loss, Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made. Demis Hassabis, one of DeepMind39。s founders, echoed this ment:We39。re very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves. Unpredictability and surprises are—or can be—a good thing. They can indicate that a system is working well, perhaps better than the humans that came before it. Such is the case with AlphaGo. However, unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control. That Hassabis is surprised at his creation39。s behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design. And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go, it raises urgent questions elsewhere. How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? How much of a say sho
