But these attempts have mostly failed.”可知，計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)家希望賦予機(jī)器人技術(shù)技能，幫助它們識(shí)別、處理和應(yīng)對(duì)幽默。但這些嘗試大多以失敗告終。通過第一段作者想要展示的是讓機(jī)器人理解幽默是有挑戰(zhàn)性的。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for puter intelligence to understand.”特里斯坦米勒說，這是因?yàn)橛哪且环N創(chuàng)造性的語言，對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)智能來說是非常難以理解的；第三段中的“This is a great challenge for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny.”對(duì)于機(jī)器來說，識(shí)別和理解什么是有趣的是一個(gè)巨大的挑戰(zhàn)，可推斷，這兩個(gè)例子是用來說明語言不能用固定的模式來教授的。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“‘Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn39。t, and they may use it where it39。s not suitable,39。 he said. ‘Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,39。 he added.“教人工智能系統(tǒng)幽默可能會(huì)讓它們?cè)诓贿m合的地方找到幽默，也可能在不適合的地方使用它”，他說?！耙苍S壞的人工智能會(huì)開始?xì)⑷?，因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為有些東西很有趣”他補(bǔ)充說道，可推斷出，教授人工智能系統(tǒng)幽默可能是一把雙刃劍。故選B。 （4）考查推理判題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Computer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor.”計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)家希望給機(jī)器人技術(shù)技能，以幫助他們識(shí)別，處理和反應(yīng)幽默，可知，本文講述了教授機(jī)器人幽默，因此推斷這篇文章很可能選自科學(xué)雜志。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Beltana Station —— Stay with a difference Beltana Station is a fully working sheep and cattle station, and a great place for a holiday with a real difference in Australia.

Keeping the mind occupied with tasks no matter how meaningless—keeps off (避開) negative emotions (情緒)，the study found . However , the bad news is that humans are seemingly born to be lazy in order to save energy , according to Professor Christopher Hsee, a behavioral(行為的)scientist at Chicago University . In a study , 98 students were asked to plete two surveys(調(diào)查). After they had pleted the first, they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever option they chose, they received a chocolate bar. It turned out that approximately(大約) two – thirds (68 students ) chose the lazy option(選項(xiàng)). Those who had taken the walk reported feeling happier than those who had stayed put(呆在原處). Prof. Hsee concluded that keeping busy helped keep people happy. He said the findings , reported in the journal Psychological Science , had policy implications (政策意義). Governments may increase the happiness of idle (閑散的) citizens by having them build bridges that are actually useless, he proposed (建議). At the individual(個(gè)人的)level, he advised, Get up and do something . Anything. Even if there really is no point to what you are doing, you will feel better for it. He added , Incidentally , thinking deeply or engaging in selfreflection(反省)counts as keeping busy, too. You do not need to be running around. You just need to be engaged, either physically or mentally.（1）Why can keeping busy make people happy ? can help people get rid of laziness. can make people sleep better. can help get rid of negative emotions(負(fù)面情緒) can give people a sense of achievement（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? finding may contribute to politics. officials have taken Prof. Hsee39。s advice. the study half students handed in the first survey nearby. can increase citizens39。 happiness by building bridges.（3）What can we infer（推斷）from the passage? by keeping working all the time can you gain happiness. .Hsee39。s finding
