【解析】

试题分析:本文属于记叙文,中国女性对全球珠宝市场的贡献非常大,但是今年速度有所放缓。

【1】particularly 考查副词。在英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词,形容词通常做定语或表语修饰名词。本句中使用副词particularly做状语修饰整个句子。

【2】by 考查介词。介词by可以表示程度。句意:中国妇女,尤其是已婚女性,帮助全球的珠宝市场销售增加了百分之3.

【3】fastest 考查最高级。在最高级前面要加定冠词the表示特指,句意:来自中国的需求增加了百分之14,是全球最增加速度最快的。

【4】thirds 考查分数表达。在分数表达式中,分母要使用序数词的复数形式。“two thirds”意为“三分之二”。

【5】contributed 考查时态。本句中动词contribute和account构成并列关系,都使用一般过去时的时态,所以都用过去式contributed。

【6】It 考查强调句型。强调句型的基本结构为It is/was被强调成分that/who其它成分;其最大的特点就是去掉it is/was…that/who…句子仍然成立。本句强调主语wedding-purchase for many women in China。

【7】buying 考查进行时。本句使用进行时表示一直以来的状态,句意:很多单身女性也一直给自己买珠宝。

【8】Although/Though 考查连词。句意:尽管中国仍然是全球珠宝市场最大的贡献者,但是增加的速度开始放缓了。上下文之间是转折关系,所以使用although/though引导让步状语从句。

【9】growth 考查名词。横线前面有形容词最高级biggest修饰,说明应该使用名词形式growth。

【10】will be 考查时态。句意:现在这个比率正在下降,但是增长仍然很快,今年中国市场的需求将会在百分之10以下。本句介绍的是未来将要发生的事情,所以使用一般将来时will be。

【题目】The defeat of Lee Sedol, the world’s strongest Go (围棋) player, by a Google artificial intelligence (AI) program, looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can. It is not. There are uncountable things that only a human can do, and that no computer seems close to. The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone. The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic. But even the most powerful programs are not human, just as a shovel (铲车). They have no feelings. What they have is power, but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us all.

It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent, but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians (火星人). Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development, and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world. It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass (以金钱来衡量的) society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted.

One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is, at the same time, the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity. If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour, it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way. So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated (自动化). And robots will never need pensions(养老金). AI is slowly reducing skilled work, like some forms of medical diagnosis (诊断), at the same time, as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training. The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own.

But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers.

【1】By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol, the author intends to tell us that ______.

A. computers can completely replace humans in everything

B. humans are of no practical economic values to the society

C. the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate

D. AI programs can not compare with humans economically

【2】We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers will ______.

A. improve the quality of human life

B. widen the gap between the rich and the poor

C. make contributions to human development

D. promote equality at work places

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence?

A. Optimistic. B. Supportive.

C. Cautious. D. doubtful.

【题目】Pat O’Burke was a poor Irishman with a large family, and one morning, waking up very early from cold and hunger, he decided to go shooting in a wood near his cottage.

Suddenly he saw the owner, with a group of friends, coming towards him in the wood. There was a look of anger on Lord Northwood's face as he caught sight of the gun in Pat's hands.

Pat's heart sank with fear, but he saw there was no hope of escape, so he walked boldly(大胆) up to the group and said to Lord Northwood, “Good morning, sir, and what has brought you out so early this morning?”

Lord Northwood, rather surprised, said he and his friends were taking a little exercise to get an appetite(食欲) for their breakfast. Then, looking at Pat with suspicion(怀疑), he said, “but why are you out so early in the morning?”

“Well, sir” said Pat, “I just came out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.”

The whole crowd burst into laughter at Pat's ready wit, and with a smile Lord Northwood walked on, leaving Pat to try his luck with the rabbits.

D. Pat had not told him he would come.

【3】Why was Lord Northwood surprised?

A. He had not expected such a bold question from Pat.

B. He wondered why Pat didn't run away.
