【正文】 介紹了神話故事將應(yīng)用于人工智能以指導(dǎo)機(jī)器人的行為方式，使其行為更加道德。Training robots to be socially acceptable is necessary.D.Robots with human39。s opinion? A.D.To finish the task most efficiently.C.A software educating robots.（3）What does the designer expect robot to do in the experiment? A.A big name in technologyB.A punishment systemD.They make robots more intelligent.B.s a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots. We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society, and in doing so, it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior. Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means.（1）What function do fairy tales perform in the robots? A. or it can steal the medicine and escape. Without any further directives (指令), the robot will e to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it. But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it. In this way, the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion. The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible. The robot has three options. It can wait in line。 Fairy tales perform many functions. They entertain, encourage imagination and teach problem—solving skills. They can also provide moral lessons, highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot, but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI (artificial intelligence) can take to its cold, mechanical heart.8．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。故選B。因此一些研究人員決定弄清楚”；文章第四段再次介紹了他們的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)：城市里的樹木比森林中的樹木長(zhǎng)得更快，但死得更早；文章最后一段介紹了城市里的樹木比森林中的樹木生長(zhǎng)得更快的幾個(gè)原因。 （4）考查推理判斷。由此可以推斷，城市里的樹木比森林中的樹木更可能獲得生長(zhǎng)促進(jìn)劑。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen (氮）in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gasburning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground.”可知，與生長(zhǎng)在森林中的樹木相比，城市里的樹木長(zhǎng)得更快是因?yàn)樗鼈儫o(wú)需與鄰近的樹木爭(zhēng)奪光照，也能得到更多的氮量，還更容易得到水。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。可以推斷，二氧化碳可以防止地球變得不適合居住。 （1）考查推理判斷。Why fastergrowing trees absorb more C02.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。Why city living makes trees die young.C.How urban trees can live longer.They can enjoy more shade from neighbors.D.They are more likely to access growth promoters.B.D.To check whether they were healthy.B.To know about their growth rates.It results from the widespread burning of fossil fuels.D.It is one of the side effects of greenhouses.B. tracking, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2.s diameter increases as it grows, just as a person39。 t been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2 at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out. As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as/heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burningof fossil(化石)fuels, have been sending extra greenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe. 7．閱讀理解 縱觀全文可知，本文主要講述了一只鯨魚因吞食大量的塑料而死亡，這引發(fā)了人們對(duì)塑料污染的擔(dān)憂，故選A。根據(jù)最后一段中的“If we keep going this way, it will be more unmon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic,”可知，布拉奇利說(shuō)如果我們繼續(xù)這樣下去，動(dòng)物因吃塑料死亡的情況比自然死亡更為常見，由此可知，他對(duì)菲律賓的塑料污染很擔(dān)憂，故選B。s system.”可知，在鯨魚體內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)的東西將在這座自然博物館中展出，故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“he was not prepared for the amount of plastic they found in the whale39。Natural Death or Merciless Murder【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，一只鯨魚因吞食大量的塑料而死亡，這引發(fā)了人們對(duì)海洋塑料污染的擔(dān)憂。Stand Up for Protecting WhalesC.Mild.（4）What is the best title for the text? A.C.Worrying.Many different tools of whaling.（3）What does Blatchley think of plastic pollution in the Philippines? A.Things found in the whale39。B.Bone Collector Museum? A.Blatchley didn39。Blatchley was shocked at what he found.C.Blatchley said he hoped that the latest incident would launch the issue of plastic pollution in the Philippines and across the globe. If we keep going this way, it will be more unmon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic, he said.（1）What can he inferred from the second paragraph? A. s system. Blatchley and his team work with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and other organizations to assist in rescue and recovery of marine animals.Blatchley is the founder and owner of the D39。When the necropsy (尸檢) was performed, Blatchley told NPR, he was not prepared for the amount of plastic they found in the whale39。 6．閱讀理解 進(jìn)行培訓(xùn)是為了得到專業(yè)技能,由此推斷作者會(huì)給出一直提升人們的專業(yè)技能的建議,故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。排除A；再根據(jù)第四段中的“as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors.”可知需要情感的工作,例如老師,保姆和醫(yī)生也不大可能被取代,因此排除C和D。人工智能不可能像科學(xué)家,小說(shuō)家和藝術(shù)家那樣進(jìn)行發(fā)明創(chuàng)造。根據(jù)第三段中的“First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can.”可知四種類型的工作完全沒有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。結(jié)合下文推斷人工智能能夠具有取代人類的工作是因?yàn)锳I在日常任務(wù)中表現(xiàn)超過(guò)了人類,劃線詞的意思是勝過(guò),超過(guò),故選A。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。而后文主要與人工智能有關(guān),由此推斷作者寫第一段的目的是引出人工智能這個(gè)話題。但是,他不會(huì)說(shuō)法語(yǔ)。根據(jù)第一段可知一個(gè)名叫奈杰爾因此,在人工智能時(shí)代人類仍然會(huì)有
