Question

【题目】 Artificial intelligence（AI）（人工智能）is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with（提出）the name "artificial intelligence" over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.

An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically（逻辑地）. At present, we use the term AI for successfully understanding human speech, recognizing（识别）human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game systems like playing Chess. However, some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking（霍金）, a famous British scientist was not for this kind of technology.

Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers（设计者）in the future. We need not only bright students, but also average（普通的）students. As for（对于）average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.

Scientists hope to create creative and emotional（有感情的）AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】D

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】

人工智能是电脑程序或者机器可以学习和思考的一种能力，这方面的研究目的在于创造出能学习、解决问题和思考的电脑程序。本文简单介绍了人工智能，并表示科学家们正在这个领域努力研究。

【1】细节理解题。根据“Artificial intelligence（AI）（人工智能）is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn.”人工智能是计算机程序或机器的能力。计算机或具有人工智能的机器可以思考和学习。由此可知拥有人工智能的机器可以思考和学习。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据“At present, AI can successfully understanding human speech, recognize （识别）human faces, operate self-driving cars and compete in some game systems like playing Chess.”目前，人工智能能够成功地理解人类的语言，人脸识别，操作自动驾驶的汽车，并在一些如下棋那样的游戏系统中进行比赛。可知，人工智能不能理解人类的感受。故选D。

【3】词义猜测题。根据原文“Some people also consider（认为）AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly.”，意思是如果AI发展过快，人们认为可能会是一种危险，这里的“it”指前半句中的“AI”，故选D。

【4】推理判断题。根据文中“We need not only bright students, but also average（普通的）students. As for（对于）average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.”我们不仅需要聪明的学生，也需要普通的学生。至于普通的学生，如果他们有足够的数学技能，他们也可以成为成功的人工智能设计师。此外，对于人工智能设计来说，良好的计算机科学知识也是必不可少的。可知 要学好数学与计算机科学。故选C。

【5】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Scientists hope to create creative and emotional（有感情的）AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.”科学家们希望创造出有创造力和情感的人工智能。人工智能可能理解人类的感受或创造艺术。许多方法和工具都试图发现这个广阔而令人兴奋的领域。可知，本段告诉我们“科学家的愿望”。故选A。
