【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 : 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?xí)悦瘸蔀槭澜缟系谝晃慌匀斯ぶ悄苄侣勚鞑?，作者介紹了人工智能背后的技術(shù)，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(jù)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(dān)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?xí)悦瘸蔀槭澜缟系谝晃慌匀斯ぶ悄苄侣勚鞑?，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(jù)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?xí)悦茸x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(yīng)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(jù)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(shù)，使辛?xí)悦鹊拿娌勘砬楦鶕?jù)新聞報道的內(nèi)容而變化，事實上，辛?xí)悦鹊谋砬椴豢偸请S著內(nèi)容而變化，她的表情一點也不像人類，由此可知，第三技術(shù)還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠成熟，故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)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(zhì)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(zhǔn)確掌握細(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。5．犇犇閱讀理解 Acting is the least mysterious of all crafts, Marion Brando once said. But for scientists, working out what is going on in an actor39。s head has always been something of a puzzle. Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not. Dr Steven Brown, from McMaster University in Canada, said, It looks like when you are acting, you are suppressing (壓制) yourself。 almost like the character is possessing you. Brown and colleagues report how 15 actors, mainly theatre students, were trained to take on a Shakespeare role — either Romeo or Juliet — in a theatre workshop. They were then invited into the laboratory, where their brains were scanned in a series of experiments. Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party? And would they tell their parents that they had fallen in love? Each actor was asked to respond to different questions, based on two different premises (前提). In one, they were asked for their own perspective, while in the other, they were asked to respond as though they were either Romeo or Juliet. The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character. The team said they also found additional reduction in activity in two regions of the prefrontal cortex (前額皮質(zhì)) linked to the sense of self, pared with when the
