Position is key to language, she says. If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear.39。 A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(萬億)connections in the brain of a threeyearold child. 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，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。根據(jù)最后一段中的“So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them.” 可知作者認為在AI時代仍然會有工作,關(guān)鍵必須是對勞動力進行再培訓(xùn),這樣人們才能從事這些工作。故選B。也就是作家和科學(xué)家不會被取代。首先,有創(chuàng)造性的工作。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data”可知AI可以在日常任務(wù)中outperform人類（前提是該任務(wù)在一個涉及到大量數(shù)據(jù)的領(lǐng)域中；以及“it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.”可知從技術(shù)上講,人工智能具有在未來大約15年里取代成千上萬的白領(lǐng)和藍領(lǐng)工作的能力。故選A。其展示了人工智能是如何工作的。理查茲（Nigel Richards）的人在短短九周內(nèi)記住了《法國拼字游戲詞典》中的386,000個單詞。 （1）考查推理判斷。s professional skills all the time.【答案】 （1）A（2）A（3）B（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，人工智能有取代人類工作的潛力,但是,并非所有工作都會被人工智能取代,有四種類型的工作完全沒有風(fēng)險。Apply for the donation from panies.D.Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.B.D.The babysitter.B.The writer.D.C.B.To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.（2）Which of the following best explains outperform underlined in paragraph 2? A.s feat.C.To introduce the topic.B.t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require passion, trust and sympathy—which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the plex, strategic jobs—executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond the AI limitation of singlefield and Big Data. Then there are the asyetunknown jobs that will be created by AI. The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data—it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.
