However, he does not speak French. Richards39。 impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works—real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field. The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data—it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so. But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the plex, strategic jobs—executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond the AI limitation of singlefield and Big Data. Then there are the asyetunknown jobs that will be created by AI. Are you worried that these three types of jobs won39。t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require passion, trust and sympathy—which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children. So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.(1)What is the main purpose of paragraph 1? A.To introduce the topic.B.To mention Nigel39。s feat.C.To stress the importance of good memory.D.To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.(2)Which of the following best explains outperform underlined in paragraph 2? A.Be superior toB.Be inferior toC.Be similar toD.Be related to(3)Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced? A.The writer.B.The shop assistant.C.The babysitter.D.The psychologist.(4)Which of the following suggestions can the author give about job replacement of AI? A.Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.B.Get more support from the government.C.Apply 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(wù)中outperform人類(前提是該任務(wù)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(wù)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。5.閱讀理解 160
