Now the silver haired 78year old has realized he would like his loved ones to have access to those stories, even when he is no longer alive to share them. Kaplan has agreed to bee AndyBot a virtual person who will be: immortalized(T F5)in the cloud for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years If all goes according to plan future generations will be able to interact with him using voice puting platforms of mobile devices, asking him questions, letting him tell stories and drawing upon a lifetime39。s worth of advice long after his physical body is gone. Someday, Kaplan, who playfully refers to himself as a pig, may be remembered as one of the world39。s first digital humans. For decades, Silicon Valley futurists have sought to free humanity from the life cycle. Today, a new generation of panies is selling some approximation(近似) of virtual immortality, which gives people the opportunity to preserve one39。s legacy(遺產(chǎn)) online forever. Kaplan is eager to bee one of the world39。s first virtual residents, partly because he considers the effort a way to extend closed family bonds over multiple generations. If technology succeeds in creating emotionally intelligent digital humans, experts say, it may forever change the way living people cooperate with puters and experience loss. AndyBot may bee one of the world39。s first: meaningful examples, raising plex philosophical questions about the nature of immortality and the purpose of existence itself.(1)What is the purpose of the first paragraph? highlight Kaplan39。s achievements. introduce the topic AndyBot. arouse readers interest in Kaplan. introduce Kaplan39。s life.(2)Why did Andrew Kaplan agree to bee AndyBot? wanted to share his life experience as long as possible. wanted to make his loved one remember him. believed this action will help with his novels. could live in the cloud to continue his life.(3)What might the AndyBot do for future generations? may use voice puting platforms. may use a new body to go on living. may offer some guidance. may ask them questions.(4)What can we infer from the last paragraph? problems can be worked out by modern science. can talk with their late family members freely. have made great progress in puter science. is still a long way for digital humans to go.【答案】 (1)B(2)A(3)C(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了科技新動態(tài)數(shù)字人。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段可知,當安德魯卡普蘭回憶往昔的時候,他的故事讓人感覺他活出了各種各樣的人生:20多歲的時候是戰(zhàn)地記者,還是一名軍人,一位成功的商人,隨后又是很多間諜小說和好萊塢劇本的作者。主要介紹安德魯卡普蘭豐富多彩的人生;在根據(jù)第二段中的“Now the silver haired 78year old has realized he would like his loved ones to have access to those stories, even when he is no longer alive to share them.
