试题分析：考察让步状语从句。“No matter+特殊疑问句”只能引导让步状语从句；“特殊疑问句+ever”既可以引导让步状语从句，也可以引导名词性从句；本句中的whatever weather it is是一个让步状语从句。Whatever后面引导的是名词或者代词。However后面接的是形容词或者副词。句意：无论是什么天气，我们都会准时出发。B项不符合语法，CD两项与上下文的含义不相符。故A正确。
考点：考察让步状语从句
点评：本题的让步状语从句考察的是“No matter+特殊疑问句”的引导方式。该结构既可以引导让步状语从句，也可以引导名词性从句；要根据上下文的含义来选择合适的特殊疑问词的形式。

To what degree can a computer achieve intelligence？The answer to this question may lie in a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child and the Internet.

If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kid’s huge memory. It can recite many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season.

He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city areas across the US. However, if you ask Smarter Child other questions, you get strange answers. A question about Smarter Child’s age returns. “One year, 11 days, 16 hours, 7 minutes, and 47 seconds!” Asking where he lives gets, “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.”

Smarter Child uses the vast information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for instance, Smarter Child goes to American Heritage Dictionary online. For the weather, he visits www.intellicast.com.

Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet, an artificial being with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However, if Smarter Child wants to think and learn on his own like the boy-computer David in the movie A. I. Artificial Intelligence, he must overcome two problems.

The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are labeled in different ways. That’s why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.

Another problem is that while Smarter Child can process information more exactly and faster than any human, he lacks common sense—a basic grounding of knowledge that is obvious to any young child.

A．where we people can find Smarter Child

B．which is specially designed to help Smarter Child
