【文章內容簡介】
變化密切相關的,感到非常興奮和意外。故選C。 (4)考查細節(jié)理解。根據最后一段中的“By using these big data approaches, we can direct our attention towards the difficult questions in modern conservation: which species and areas are changing, and where are the people who care the most and can do the most to help.”可知Richard認為通過使用這些大數據方法,我們可以將我們的注意力轉向現代保護中的難題:哪些物種和地區(qū)正在發(fā)生變化,哪些人最關心這些問題,哪些人能夠提供最多的幫助。即他認為這些搜索數據可以有助于設定保護目標。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上,根據上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。4.犇犇閱讀理解 News anchors(主播) must have been reluctant to read out the following news: Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world39。s first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession. Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine。 she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relaxand her reactions changeas she continues reading. That39。s why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future? To find the answer, we have to analyse the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the Al news anchor reads, the micro electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human. Yet we need a thorough knowledge of deep leaning technology to make a robot imitate a person39。s voice. The developer needs to collect tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them into the machine and match them with the text or the Al to lean and read. The process for imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyse the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data for the AI news anchor to lean, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programs Both the technologies used to make Xin39。s performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don39。t always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human. Actually. AI is still no match for human qualities.(1)What does the underlined word reluctant in the first paragraph mean? A.Delighted.B.Unwilling.C.Confused.D.Optimistic.(2)What can we infer about previous news robots? A.They read news without expressions.B.They looked like a human beingC.They could interview sports starsD.They could interact with audience.(3)What do we know about the third technology? A.This technology is very perfect so farB.This technology is quite popular nowC.This technology remains at the theoretical stageD.This technology is far from mature.(4)From the last paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that____. A.human news anchors should learn from AT anchors to save their jobsB.Al anchors perform much better than human news anchors at presentC.Al news anchors won39。t replace human news anchors in the near futureD.Xin Xiaomeng s expressions vary so naturally that they are true to life【答案】 (1)B(2)A(3)D(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,上周日,新華社新聞主播辛曉萌成為世界上第一位女性人工智能新聞主播,作者介紹了人工智能背后的技術,并指出在不久的將來,人工智能新聞主播不會取代人類新聞主播。 (1)考查詞義猜測。根據第一段中的Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world39。s first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday及第二段中的That39。s why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?可知,擔心將來自己的工作會被人工智能取代的新聞主播一定不愿意透露下面這個消息:上周日,新華社新聞主播辛曉萌成為世界上第一位女性人工智能新聞主播,由此可知畫線詞詞義為不愿意的,故選B。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據第二段中的Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine。 she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relaxand her reactions changeas she continues reading.可知,與以前的機器人主播不同的是,辛曉萌讀起來不像一臺冷冰冰的機器,就像是一個活生生的人,她讀新聞的時候臉上的肌肉能夠伸展和放松,面部反應也發(fā)生了變化,由此可知,以前的機器人主播讀新聞時面無表情,故選A。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don39。 t always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human.可知,真正的難點在于第三技術,使辛曉萌的面部表情根據新聞報道的內容而變化,事實上,辛曉萌的表情不總是隨著內容而變化,她的表情一點也不像人類,由此可知,第三技術還遠遠不夠成熟,故選D。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據最后一段中的Actually. AI is still no match for human qualities.可知,人工智能仍無法與人類素質相匹敵,由此可知,在不久的將來,人工智能新聞主播不會取代人類新聞主播,故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇科普類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,并根據上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。5.犇犇Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. Stocky, slowmoving whale, rarely grows beyond 15 metres in length Flippers are a third of body length。 variable dorsal fin size and shape。 sawtoothed trailing edge on flukes, often raised when diving Bumpy tubercles on top of head Body colour is dark brown to black。 often extensive white on flippers and underside of body and flukes。 such patterns enable individual recognition Bushy blow, occasionally Vshaped 270400 olive baleen plates Humpback whales belong to the rorqual (groovethroated) family, which includes fin, sei, Bryde39。s, minke and blue whales. The big family migrate between winter tropical breeding areas (North West Shelf, Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiii, Tonga) and summer Antarctic feeding areas. Once mon in New Zealand waters, humpbacks are now rarely seen and may migrate further offshore. Males pete for mates either by physical fight or by son
