题目内容
18.We often praise the world of science.It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology.One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能 AI).This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.
However,one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.
"The development of artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,"said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.
Hawking is a well-known British scientist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time.This warning came after he used the machine particularly made for him.As Hawking suffers from a serious disease called ALS,he needs an AI computer to communicate.The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.
This is a basic type of AI,which is very useful,yet Hawking is frightened of the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass human intelligence.And it's easy to imagine how terrible things may be.Many TV shows and films display big,killer machines that are far cleverer than us."Humans can't compete because they are limited by slow biological evolution (生物进化),"said Hawking.
In what direction do you think AI is heading?Should we be hopeful or fearful?
42.According the passage,AI machines canA nowadays.
A.make our lives easier
B.think like human beings
C.be much smarter than humans now

D.suggest that AI might become dangerous for humans
45.Which of the following can be the title for this article?B

分析 我们经常赞美科学的世界.
它用科技解释了世界,使我们的生活更便利.在科学界最令人兴奋的领域之一是人工智能.在这个领域科学家正在创造能够像人类一样思考的机器.
然而,最著名的科学家之一对我们的这类技术有一个非常负面的警告.
"人工智能的发展可能会造成人类的终结"斯蒂芬•霍金教授对BBC说.
霍金是著名的英国科学家,是畅销科学书《时间简史》的作者.当他使用特别为他制造的机器后说出这样的警告.由于霍金患有一种称为肌萎缩侧索硬化的严重疾病,他需要一台智能计算机的帮助来进行沟通,智能计算机能够知道霍金的想法并对他接下来可能要说的话给出建议.
这是一个基本的却非常有价值的人工智能,但霍金害怕创造的这些技术具有匹配或超越人类智能的可能性.很容易想象这种事情发生后会多么的可怕.许多电视节目和电影展示了庞大的、比我们更加聪明的杀人机器."人类不能同这些机器抗衡,因为人类受到生物进化的限制,而生物进化是很缓慢的过程."霍金说.
你认为人工智能在朝哪个方向发展?我们应该充满希望还是感到恐惧?
解答 42.A.细节理解题.根据It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology.One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能 AI).可知,科技帮助我们更好的理解这个世界,使我们的生活变得更加的便利,而AI属于这种科技之一,因此AI能够使我们的生活变得更加的便利,答案为A.
43.C.词义猜测题.This的前面一段,提到As Hawking suffers from a serious disease called ALS,he needs an AI computer to communicate.The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.也就是霍金需要这样一台计算机进行交流,且这台计算机具有人工智能,能够知道霍金的思想,并为其将要说的话提出建议,而下文紧接着是This is a basic type of AI,which is very useful,因此这里的this起到承上启下的作用,也就是指代的是霍金使用的这台计算机,它属于人工智能,且非常的实用.所以答案为C;
44.D.细节理解题.根据As Hawking suffers from a serious disease called ALS,he needs an AI computer to communicate.The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.可知,这台计算机具有人工智能,而且能够知道霍金的想法并对他接下来可能要说的话给出建议,从而引出霍金的话"Hawking is frightened of the possibility of creating technology that can match or surpass human intelligence.",即人工智能可能会与人类的智慧相匹敌甚至超越人类,从而引出人工智能可能会对我们造成威胁,因此答案为D.
45.B.文章主旨题.根据文章的开头,作者叙述了人工智能的优点,随后就介绍了霍金对人工智能的担忧,从而因此人们对于人工智能的担忧,会不会造成人类的终结因为整篇文章并没有对两种说法给出明确的支持与否定,而是陈述事实,也就是提出人工智能是人类的朋友还是敌人的两面.所以该题的答案为B.
点评 本文是一篇科普类文章.做题时要在理解好文意的基础上,与题目有机的结合,从文章中找到相关细节性的句子与选项细细比对,进行选择或推理判断,选出符合文章内容的正确选项.做题注意灵活,有时可采用排除法或直选法确定出最终答案.
