Monday was Nov. 11, known in China as Singles Day. This year, nearly $ billion worth of stuff was sold on Alibaba39。s platforms (平臺) that day, beating last year39。s $ billion and making Black Friday look, yet again, like a yard sale. China has grown richer and more digitally connected. Alibaba has bee a technology powerhouse. Along the way, the pany has made a few famous friends. This year the singer Taylor Swift performed in its livestreamed evening gala (慶典) in Shanghai on Sunday. In previous years the model Miranda Kerr and the actors Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig also showed on the Singles Day stage. Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese manufacturers with big buyers across the world. Its businesstobusiness site, allowed people to buy almost everything. Alibaba39。s advantage wasn39。t hard to see: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Alibaba now calls itself a data and technology pany, one that provides digital tools to help the businesses on its platforms. That, in turn, leads consumers to look to those platforms for their every need, from shopping and services to entertainment and travel. Today, Alibaba is itself a gigantic pany, and it wants to grow bigger still.（1）Where is this passage probably from? textbook. newspaper. science news report. advertisement.（2）How many famous people showed on the Singles Day stage? ....（3）What does Alibaba39。s advantage mainly lie in? platform. service. price. size.（4）Which word can replace the underlined word gigantic in the last paragraph ? ....【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了引領(lǐng)了中國雙十一購物節(jié)的阿里巴巴公司。每年購物節(jié)前夕都會(huì)找明星預(yù)熱。同時(shí)介紹了阿里巴巴的相關(guān)信息。 （1）考查推理判斷。本文介紹了中國雙十一購物節(jié)相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)和阿里巴巴公司的情況，可以從報(bào)紙了解到相關(guān)信息。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的Taylor Swift ，Miranda Kerr，Nicole Kidman，Daniel Craig等人都參加了雙十一晚會(huì)慶典，共4人，故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Alibaba39。s advantage wasn39。t hard to see: size.

But these attempts have mostly failed. AI experts say that in many cases, attempts to make robots understand humor end up producing funny results, but not in the way they were supposed to. Tristan Miller studied more than 10,000 puns in one research project. The pun is a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music. The word pop can be a way of saying popular music。 or can mean the sound a balloon makes when it explodes. But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for puter intelligence to understand. Allison Bishop is a puter scientist and she also performs standup edy. She explained that machines are trained to look for patterns. Comedy, on the other hand, relies on things that stay close to a pattern, but not pletely within it. To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said. This is a great challenge for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny. Bishop says since robots have great difficulty understanding humor, she feels like it gives her better job safety as a edy performer. It even made her parents happy when her brother decided to bee a fulltime edy writer because it meant he wouldn39。t be replaced by a machine, she added. Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University39。s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable (敘述的), especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (諷刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another. But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn39。t, and they may use it where it39。s not suitable, he said. Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny, he added.（1）What does the author most probably want to show in Paragraph 1? 39。 influence on the scientific development.39。 challenges of making sense of humor. scientists39。 devotion to technical skills. scientists39。 concern about AI39。s development.（2）What are examples mentioned in Paragraphs 2 and 3 intended to do? robots do poorly in funny work robots aren39。t as intelligent as humans language is plex and changeable language can39。t be taught in a set pattern（3）What can we infer about teaching AI system humor from the last paragraph? will make no diffe
