【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ssive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly. In parison, the tiger beetle(虎甲蟲)runs faster than its eyes can keep up, basically being blind, which requires it to stop periodically to reevaluate its prey39。s(獵物)position. Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension along which animals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail.（1）What is the research mentioned in the passage mainly about？ A.Pace of life of animals.B.Impressive abilities of animals.C.Lifetime of small animals.D.Time perception of animals.（2）What does Kevin Healy39。s ment mean in ？ A.The survival of fast moving animals relies on their ability to perceive time.B.Animals with quicker pace of life have better perception of time.C.The ability of animals to perceive time depends on their high moving speed.D.Animals with poor ability of time perception have a shorter life.（3）Why can houseflies avoid being hit? A.They can think very deeply before they act.B.They can process the information as quickly as they receive it.C.They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up.D.They can send information to brain more quickly than to their eyes.（4）What will a tiger beetle have to do to catch a moving prey? A.Slow down to gain its time perception.B.Prevent itself from being blind.C.Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.D.Try to run as fast as it can.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了對動物時(shí)間感知的研究。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“According to a team of researchers，an animal39。s ability to perceive（感知）time is linked to their pace of life.”可知，據(jù)一組研究人員稱，動物感知時(shí)間的能力與它們的生活節(jié)奏有關(guān)，由此可知，文中提到的這個(gè)研究是關(guān)于動物的時(shí)間感知的，故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures.”可知，對于能快速移動的動物而言，在極短的時(shí)間內(nèi)感知時(shí)間的能力可能是生與死的區(qū)別，由此可知，Kevin Healy說的意思是快速移動的動物的生存依賴于它們對時(shí)間的感知能力，故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“The research showed flies ‘observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve，’which allows them to avoid being hit.”可知，家蠅觀察物體運(yùn)動的時(shí)間比我們?nèi)搜鬯苓_(dá)到的時(shí)間要短，這使得它們能夠避免被擊中；再結(jié)合第五段中的“but they can make good decisions very quickly.”可知，它們可以很快做出好的決定，也就是說它們可以盡快處理收到的信息，故選B。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“the tiger beetle（虎甲蟲）runs faster than its eyes can keep up，basically being blind，which requires it to stop periodically to reevaluate its prey39。s（獵物）position”可知，虎甲蟲的移動比眼睛快，基本上是盲目的，這就要求它不時(shí)地停下來，重新評估獵物的位置，由此可知，為了抓住移動的獵物，虎甲蟲需要不時(shí)地停下來確定獵物的位置，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 The idea that puters have some amount of intelligence is not new, says Ralph Haupter, the president of Microsoft Asia, pointing as far back as 1950 when puter pioneer Alan Turing asked whether machines can think. So it has taken nearly 70 years for the right bination of factors to e together to move AI from concept to reality, says Haupter. It is predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will be the story of the ing generations, not just the ing year, but as 2019 gets underway, you39。ll find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers. Personal assistant AIs will keep getting smarter. As our personal assistants learn more about our daily routines, I can imagine the day I need not to worry about preparing dinner. My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for. Alecjandro Troccoli, senior research scientist, NVIDIA. Thanks to AI, the face will be the new credit card, the new driver39。s license and the new barcode (條形碼). Facial recognition is already pletely transforming security with biometric capabilities being adopted, and seeing how technology and business are connected, like Amazon is with Whole Foods, I can see a near future where people will no longer need to stand in line at the store. Georges Nahon, president, Orange Institute, a global research laboratory. 2019 will be the year AI bees real for medicine. By the end of the year we39。re seeing solutions for population health, hospital operations and a broad set of clinical specialties quickly follow behind. Mark Michalski, executive director, Massachusetts General Hospital.（1）What can we know about AI from the first two paragraphs? A.People didn39。t expect AI to develop so rapidly.B.The idea of AI just came up recently.C.The concept of AI was put forward by Ralph Haupter.D.It took more than 70 years to turn the concept into reality.（2）Who sees the future of AI doing housework instead of human being? A.Alan Turing.B.Georges Nahon.C.Mark Michalski.D.Alejandro Troccoli.（3）What is Georges Nahon39。s job?
