They say drivers who use phones while driving greatly increase their chances of being involved in an accident.”可知道路安全專家對越來越多的司機在州內(nèi)道路上使用智能手機的事故表示關(guān)注。 （2）考查推理判斷。所以判斷出，新南威爾士設(shè)置攝像頭的真正目的是迫使司機更專注于駕駛。根據(jù)第一段“New South Wales, Australia, is setting up cameras as part of an effort to reduce the number of people preoccupied with wireless devices while they drive. It will be the first area in the world to use the technology to punish drivers distracted （分心） with telephone calls, social media or text messages.”澳大利亞新南威爾士州正在設(shè)置攝像頭，以減少開車時全神貫注于無線設(shè)備的人數(shù)。用這項技術(shù)懲罰那些因電話、社交媒體或短信分心的司機，將是世界上第一個。 wrong behavior. has two cameras to record the plates. sends a notice to the legal diver autonomously. bines artificial intelligence with human39。Two fixed cameras took photographs of million vehicles as part of a sixmonth test earlier this year.

Another driver had a passenger guide the vehicle while they both held phones, the state government said.（1）What is the real purpose to set up cameras in New South Wale? keep records of the accidents. promote the latest technology. find illegal behavior of the drivers. force drivers to focus more on driving.（2）What can we infer from the road safety experts? are main killers on the road. accidents result from drivers39。The units use artificial intelligence to set aside drivers who are not touching their phones.

Each phone detection unit contains two cameras. One camera takes pictures of a vehicle39。Road Safety experts are concerned about the growing number of accidents involving drivers using smart phones on the state39。 3．閱讀理解 技術(shù)方面領(lǐng)先其他競爭對手，故選D。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第七段中的“China aims to use its vast troves （寶庫）of data, collected from its billion population including 730 million who are online, and deep pockets to overtake the US in creating a $150 billion industry that is seen as the next industrial revolution.”可知中國力求利用來自其14億人口（）的海量數(shù)據(jù)和雄厚財力，在創(chuàng)建被視為下一場工業(yè)革命的1500億美元產(chǎn)業(yè)方面超越美國。 answers were pared against average human responses and ranked.”可知通過問問題，回答問題來檢測人工智能，所以選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 globally.”可知司羅把機器取得的這個勝利稱為一個里程碑，稱該技術(shù)有很多用途，從客戶服務(wù)、博物館講解，到醫(yī)療查詢，其中一些在全球范圍已經(jīng)由聊天機器人處理。根據(jù)第三段“Luo Si referred to the machines39。s performance in reading prehension? feels frightened at it. has some doubts about it. thinks highly of it. considers it worth a try.（2）How did the reading test carry on for Al? allowing them to interact with humans. asking them to answer questions. giving them questions to analyze. making them pete with chatbots.（3）What does China depend on to lead in Al? new industrial revolution. huge market of $150 billion industry investment. data from its billion population and huge amounts of treasure. cooperation between Chinese government and Microsoft.（4）In which field does
