A.boring（4）It can be inferred from the last paragraph that C.D.It attracts rock stars to practice.C.s top universities. Earning one takes years and requires a personality suited to academia, which is rare among more normal folk. Over the past five years researchers in artificial intelligence have bee the rock stars of the technology world. A branch of AI known as deep learning, which uses neural(神經(jīng)的) networks to scan through large volumes of data looking for patterns, has proven so useful that skilled practitioners can mand high sixfigure salaries to build software for Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google. 【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，是一篇科技類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。主要介紹安德魯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。 6．閱讀理解 故選B。根據(jù)第四段中的 “But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets)... Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.”可知現(xiàn)金消失的一個重要原因就是諸如銀行和科技公司（在發(fā)達市場）和電信公司（在新興市場）之類的供應(yīng)商正在開發(fā)快速,易于使用的支付技術(shù),他們可以從中提取數(shù)據(jù)和小費。根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”可知在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80％；再根據(jù)“In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.”可知在中國,數(shù)字支付從2012年占所有支付的4％上升到2017年的34％。根據(jù)第一段中的“Rich countries are racing to dematerialise payments.”可知, 富裕國家正競相將支付非物質(zhì)化；再根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80％。D.B.the infrastructure is developing at a high speed in developed marketsD.China is developing faster that those developed countries in digital payment（3）Cash is disappearing largely because . A.promote payment without paper money or coins（2）In paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show . A. Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand— younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and teles panies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easytouse payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.5．閱讀理解 該劃線句子的字面意思是：機器人保姆可能會覺得自己已經(jīng)獲得了未來的工作，但事實上，他們的位置可能會更好。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。也就是說，Starship Technologies公司創(chuàng)造的是一款配送物品的機器人。本文以對相關(guān)信息進行了介紹說明。Robot carers will have a petitive advantage in the future.B.Autonomous vehicles will bee much cheaper.B.are in relation ofare in the category ofA restaurant robot.B. Mckinsey estimates that millions of jobs globally could be lost to automation by 2030. A huge number of jobs will be produced as autonomous vehicles are released into the environment, Ramsey said. In 2016, Bosch started training students from Schoolcraft College, a munity college in Michigan, in autonomousvehicle repair。s digital eyes will roll depending on its mood. Rodriguez, who heads business development for the startup, was tasked, early on, with monitoring the KiwiBot for problems – even carrying it, should the motors fail. Since April 2018, though, the KiwiBot has largely been left unattended, and the majority of human interactions involve technical checks and loading food into the robot. To eliminate the boring work, the team is developing a restaurant robot to collect and load orders – which could happen in 2020. However, Rodriguez assured me that his staff won39。 During the winter of 2017, an 18year old college student named Canon Reeves spent much of his time trailing a kneehigh robot around Fayetteville, Arkansas, as it delivered Amazon packages to students. The robot, created by a startup called Starship Technologies in 2014, is basically a cooler on wheels。 【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，是一篇環(huán)保類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。 ”可知，咖啡種植者可以通過咖啡樹上方的the wood and fruit trees增加收入，故選B。Coffee experts say shadegrown coffees taste better, because the beans ripen slower than coffee grown in the full sun, resulting in a richer, more plex flavor. ”咖啡專家說，陰涼處種植的咖啡味道更好，因為豆子比太陽下的咖啡成熟得慢，會產(chǎn)生更豐富，更復雜的味道。 （1）考查推理判斷。B.By serving as stewards of coffee consumers.（4）What does the text suggest coffee consumers do? A.By cutting down trees and selling wood.D.They take less time to ripen.They may have a better taste.Pesticides and chemicals used on them poisoned many birds.C.s coffee farms destroy forest habitat to grow coffee in the sun and typically use harmful pesticides (殺蟲劑) and chemicals that poison the environment. When forests disappear, migratory (遷徙的) songbirds disappear, too. In order to deal with severe population and habitat loss, Smithsonian scientists created the Bird Friendly cer
