【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 for the donation from panies.D.Upgrade people39。s professional skills all the time.【答案】 （1）A（2）A（3）B（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，人工智能有取代人類工作的潛力,但是,并非所有工作都會被人工智能取代,有四種類型的工作完全沒有風險。因此,在人工智能時代人類仍然會有工作,關(guān)鍵必須是對勞動力進行再培訓,這樣人們才能從事這些工作。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段可知一個名叫奈杰爾理查茲（Nigel Richards）的人在短短九周內(nèi)記住了《法國拼字游戲詞典》中的386,000個單詞。但是,他不會說法語。其展示了人工智能是如何工作的。而后文主要與人工智能有關(guān),由此推斷作者寫第一段的目的是引出人工智能這個話題。故選A。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data”可知AI可以在日常任務中outperform人類（前提是該任務在一個涉及到大量數(shù)據(jù)的領(lǐng)域中；以及“it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.”可知從技術(shù)上講,人工智能具有在未來大約15年里取代成千上萬的白領(lǐng)和藍領(lǐng)工作的能力。結(jié)合下文推斷人工智能能夠具有取代人類的工作是因為AI在日常任務中表現(xiàn)超過了人類,劃線詞的意思是勝過,超過,故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can.”可知四種類型的工作完全沒有風險。首先,有創(chuàng)造性的工作。人工智能不可能像科學家,小說家和藝術(shù)家那樣進行發(fā)明創(chuàng)造。也就是作家和科學家不會被取代。排除A；再根據(jù)第四段中的“as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors.”可知需要情感的工作,例如老師,保姆和醫(yī)生也不大可能被取代,因此排除C和D。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them.” 可知作者認為在AI時代仍然會有工作,關(guān)鍵必須是對勞動力進行再培訓,這樣人們才能從事這些工作。進行培訓是為了得到專業(yè)技能,由此推斷作者會給出一直提升人們的專業(yè)技能的建議,故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon. The British pany Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds. Mr. Stapleton says safety was the pany39。s main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors to power the vehicle. The pany is testing a fullsize prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams. In New Zealand, Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a fullsize prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour. Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack is built around safety from the start. In his words, Reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car. The Jetpack uses a gasolinepowered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute that would be used, if there should be an emergency. It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot, he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon.（1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike ________. A.can hardly get in and out of small spaces quicklyB.can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1, 000 meters highC.has been used by the police and emergency rescue teamsD.can be transported quickly after being folded and packed（2）Peter Coker uses the example of Formula One racing car to show that ________. A.the Jetpack is very safe and reliableB.the engine of the Jetpack is powerfulC.the actual structure of the Jetpack is uniqueD.the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height（3）The underlined word It in the last paragraph refers to ________. A.the jet streamB.the engineC.the JetpackD.the parachute（4）What is the author39。s main purpose of writing the passage? A.To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles.B.To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles.C.To show the differences between two flying vehicles.D.To advertise the two personal flying vehicles.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，講述一種個人飛行工具很快就會應用于現(xiàn)實，然而安全性和強度一直是個大問題，文中介紹了兩家研發(fā)飛行器的公司的最新的產(chǎn)品，新產(chǎn)品把安全放在首位，并對產(chǎn)品進行了改進。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed.” 可知，Hoverbike能夠很快地進出小空間。它可快速地在大陸上移動，因為它可以折疊和包裝。可知，選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第六段Peter Coker說Jetpack從一開始就圍繞安全進行的，安全可靠性是最重要的因素。我們在車的現(xiàn)行結(jié)構(gòu)中植入了安全性，非常類似于Formula One賽車。，故選A。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落傘) that can be used should there be an emergency. It starts to work at very low altitude …., ”Coker先生說Jetpack上也有降落傘，可以在緊急情況下使用?！霸诤０畏浅５偷那闆r下開始用它…”。可知，Jetpack上的降落傘（它）是在海拔低時才用。由此可知it指的是parachute (降落傘)。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段可知，許多人一直夢想能像騎自行車一樣簡單的飛來飛去，科技的發(fā)展讓這個夢想很快實現(xiàn)。然而飛行自行車的安全性和強度一直是個大問題。接著下面敘述了兩家研發(fā)飛行器的公司的最新的產(chǎn)品，新產(chǎn)品把安全放在首位。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Our mother earth is going through a very tough situation and we, the entire human race, are destroying our environment or unconsciously without even realizing its consequences. Now we have to act very smartly and plan something to sustain what we still have, getting all necessary support from nature to lead healthy lives. Gardening is always an excellent and environmentally friendly idea. If you can go for sustainable gardening, then it will be even more useful for all. Gardening is a favorite hobby for many. It is time to channelize your hobby towards a more meaningful motivation. When we do gardening we need to use different ingredients to grow plants. Some of them are natural resources like water, soil, sunshine, and many things like this. Using these resources smartly is a part of sustainable gardening. Some simple techniques include: use less water and organic things to grow plants。 try to store rainwater so that you can use them for gardening。 try using less energy to drive devices。 avoid using plastics in any form while gardening。 reuse the leaves from yo
