(2020河北保定高二期末,)
Americans are afraid that rbts are ging t take ur jbs.Tireless and immune t disease, rbts can drive cars, make cffee and even write shrt and humrus newspaper clumns faster and mre efficiently than humans.
Rbts d nt need health insurance r salary, and they d nt need t take sick days r vacatins.They d nt waste time n meetings and d nt need t knw ffice plitics. They dn't make the PwerPint. This being the case, it is reasnable t believe that mre emplyees will be dismissed and rbts will sn take the place f humans in mst fields.
But all f these thughts may nt be true. If artificial intelligence achieves its full ptential, machines culd easily becme as smart as humans—maybe smarter. They will certainly becme smarter than a lt f human beings.
S ne day the rbts will realize that wrk is nt a happy thing. S befre lng they will start behaving exactly like humans.They will play cmputer games fr hurs when they shuld be wrking hard.They will secretly watch new mvies just like humans.
Emplyers will never need t be afraid f the rbts' strikes r slwdwns, because rbts will never ask fr mre mney.And they dn't need t earn sme mney t raise their family.But precisely (正是) because rbts will nt be afraid f lsing their jbs, they will nt wrk hard. Emplyers will finally have n chice but t recall the humans.Humans will always be willing t d sme wrk in rder t make mney, but rbts wn't.
I think that rbts will nly be n the jb fr abut six mnths befre they start t becme even less prductive than the humans they were designed t replace.Thus mankind needs nt be afraid f rbts.Analysing the prs and cns, I think humans still have advantages.

News anchrs(主持人) must have been reluctant and felt it was like reading science fictin t read ut the fllwing news: Xin Xiameng began wrking as the wrld's first female artificial intelligence news anchr at the Xinhua News Agency n Sunday, three mnths after a male rbt jined the prfessin.
Unlike previus news rbts thugh, Xin des nt read news like a cld machine; she reads it mre like a human being.The muscles n her face stretch and relax—and her reactins change—as she cntinues reading. That's why many news anchrs are wrried: Will AI replace us in the near future?
T find the answer, we have t analyse the technlgies that supprt Xin at her jb.Three key technlgies are used t supprt Xin. First, samples f human vices are cllected and synthesized (合成). This is fllwed by the cllectin and synthesis f human muscle mvement samples. Third, the vices and mvements are married(相结合) in a way that when the AI news anchr reads, the micr electric mtrs behind her face mve t make her expressins seem mre human.
Yet we need a thrugh knwledge f deep learning technlgy t make a rbt imitate a persn's vice.The develper needs t cllect tens f thusands f prnunciatins, input them int the machine and match them with the text fr the AI news anchr t learn and read.The prcess f imitating facial mvements is similar.The develper has t analyse the mvements f the 42 muscles in the human face, make a mdel set frm the cllected data fr the AI news anchr t learn, and make it imitate the mvements f facial muscles via prgrams.
Bth the technlgies used t make Xin's perfrmance impressive are mature,whereas the real difficulty lies in the third—the technlgy t match the prnunciatins with facial mvements s that Xin's expressins vary accrding t the cntent f the news reprt.In fact, Xin's expressins dn't always change accrding t the cntent.As a result, her expressins lk anything but human.Actually, AI is still n match fr human qualities.
4.What des the underlined wrd “reluctant” in the first paragraph mean?
A.Delighted.B.Unwilling.
C.Cnfused.D.Optimistic.
5.What can we learn abut previus news rbts?
A.They read news withut expressins.
B.They lked like human beings.
C.They culd interview sprts stars.
D.They culd interact with the audience.
6.What d we knw abut the third technlgy?
A.This technlgy is very perfect s far.
B.This technlgy is quite ppular nw.
C.This technlgy remains at the theretical stage.
D.This technlgy is far frm mature.
7.What cnclusin can we draw frm the last paragraph?
A.Human news anchrs shuld learn frm AI anchrs t save their jbs.
B.AI news anchrs perfrm much better than human news anchrs at present.
C.AI news anchrs wn't replace human news anchrs in the near future.
D.Xin Xiameng's expressins vary s naturally that they are true t life.
Ⅱ.七选五
(2019山东临沂模拟,)
The man wh culd see the future
The ability t predict the future is a rare talent. American authr Isaac Asimv (1920—1992), ne f the greatest science fictin writers f his age, had such a talent. 1 Nw that we're here, let's see what he gt right.
2 Asimv presumed cmputers wuld cause a revlutin cmparable t the industrial revlutins. Specifically, he said that “mbile cmputerized bjects” wuld be an imprtant part f everyday life.Here, he clearly predicted ur wrld f smartphnes, tablets and ther devices.He als had a great deal t say abut space explratin. 3
Hw did Asimv develp his special sense f future develpments? 4 He read the newspapers and magazines sld in his parents' candy stre. His scientific interest gained sharper fcus at Clumbia University in New Yrk.Asimv went t study chemistry, but became bred with the pure labratry science.Instead, he thught hard abut the scial implicatins(作用)f science.He wanted t cmmunicate his ideas t the public.
5 Asimv had his finger n the pulse f bth scientific and scial change.He had a clear visin f what was arund the crner fr humanity in his wrks like the Galactic Empire series. “His predictins are abslutely fascinating,” Calum Chase, an English writer, tld BBC News.“He is a genius.”
A.As a smart by, Asimv taught himself t read at the age f five.
B.Space explratin can really make ur life mre cnvenient and cmfrtable.
C.Back in 1983, he was asked t predict what the wrld wuld lk like in 2019.
D.On the rle that cmputers wuld play in the future, his predictin was amazingly accurate.
E.Asimv had develped a great interest in cmputer prgramming since childhd.
F.As an authr, his bks wuld feature the theme f scial change caused by technlgy.
G.The Internatinal Space Statin prves his predictin that we wuld nt simply visit space but seek t stay there.

UNIT 1 SCIENCE FICTION
Part 1 Reading and Thinking
基础过关练
Ⅰ 2.appintment 3.declared 4.dismiss 5.salary
Ⅱ cntrast 2.r rather 3.test ut 4.mre like
Ⅲ 考查固定搭配。句意: 有81.40%的中国学生参加课外班。相比之下,美国学生(在这方面)的数据只有18.37%。in cmparisn意为“相比之下”。
2.guilty 考查形容词。句意:编辑为没有在最新一期上发表你的文章而感到内疚。系动词feels后接形容词作表语。故填guilty。
3.was;g 考查suggest的用法。句意:他脸上的表情表明他不高兴,所以我建议他和我们一起去野营。第一个suggested意为“表明;显示”,后面的宾语从句用陈述语气,所以从句时态受主句时态的影响,故填was。第二个suggested意为“建议”,后面的宾语从句应该用虚拟语气,即谓语动词用“shuld+动词原形”结构,其中shuld可以省略,故填g。
4.t imagine 考查非谓语动词。句意:由于目前的危机,认为(情况)复苏会快速且容易是荒谬的。此处是“it is+adj.+t d sth.”句型,其中it作形式主语,不定式短语是真正的主语。故填t imagine。
5.was appinted 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:前年他因他丰富的经验和极好的教育背景被任命为总经理。根据时间状语the year befre last判断事情发生在过去,而且主语He和动词appint之间是被动关系,故填was appinted。
Ⅳ std a stranger 2.that;and that
Ⅴ 考查副词。句意:一个叫托尼的家庭机器人将要在拉里的家里进行测试。test ut意为“测试”。故填ut。
2.the 考查冠词。句意:虽然拉里的妻子克莱尔一开始不喜欢这个主意,但她还是被说服在她的丈夫出差期间让这个机器人陪伴她。这个主意在上文出现了,是克莱尔和拉里都知道的,表特指,应使用定冠词the。
3.accmpany 考查动词。句意同上。let sb./sth. d sth.意为“让某人/某物做某事”,此处应填动词,所给词cmpany为名词,意为“陪伴”,其动词形式为accmpany。故填accmpany。
4.expressin 考查名词。句意:虽然它的面部表情从未改变,但这个机器人可以用低沉的声音说话。从句缺少主语,且设空处被形容词facial修饰,所以填名词expressin。
5.mre 考查比较级。句意:克莱尔一看到托尼就感到恐慌,因为它看起来更像是一个人而不是一台机器。根据than判断设空处填比较级形式。mre like意为“更像是”。
6.embarrassed 考查形容词。句意:所以当托尼主动帮她穿衣服时,克莱尔感到非常尴尬。系动词felt后接形容词作表语,形容人的内心感受,所以填embarrassed。
7.making 考查动名词。介词by后面接动名词作宾语,表示“通过做某事”。
8.were invited 考查主谓一致以及动词的时态和语态。句意:他建议她举办一个聚会,期待所有被邀请的客人看到她的房子被彻底改变时都充满羡慕。根据句意可知此处应该用被动语态,wh代替guests在从句中作主语,为复数概念,且此处介绍过去发生的事情,所以填were invited。
9.cmpletely 考查副词。句意同上。修饰was changed应该用副词形式。
10.t 考查介词。句意:托尼说它非常喜欢她,以至于它不愿意离开她。be attached t意为“喜欢……;依恋……”。故填t。

Ⅰ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。随着人工智能在越来越多的工作中的使用,有人担心在许多领域机器人会取代人类。本篇文章以幽默的语气分析了这一问题。
1.D 主旨大意题。通览全文可知本文首先提出有人担心在工作中机器人会取代人类,然后作者以幽默的语气分析了这一问题。由此可知D项“机器人终将取代人类吗?”最适合作为文章标题。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,当机器人意识到工作没有乐趣的时候,它们会打游戏或偷偷看电影。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第五段的叙述可知,雇主不用担心机器人罢工,因为机器人不会要求加薪。但正是因为机器人不会害怕失去工作,他们才不会努力工作。雇主们最终不得不让人重返工作岗位,为了挣钱,人总是愿意工作的,但机器人不会。故选C。
【高频词汇】 1.immune adj.不受影响的;免疫的 2.efficiently adv.高效地 3.reasnable adj.合理的 4.strike n.罢工 5.prductive adj.多产的;有效益的
长难句分析
原句 I think that rbts will nly be n the jb fr abut six mnths befre they start t becme even less prductive than the humans they were designed t replace.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。that引导宾语从句,其中rbts will nly be n the jb fr abut six mnths是主句,befre引导时间状语从句。在时间状语从句中,they were designed t replace是省略了关系词的定语从句,修饰先行词humans。
句意 我认为机器人只工作大约6个月的时间就会开始变得甚至比它们原本被设计出来要取代的人类产生的效益还低。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了世界上第一位女性人工智能新闻主播辛晓萌背后的人工智能技术,同时作者指出,人工智能仍不及人类。
4.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的内容及第二段中的That?s why many news anchrs are wrried: Will AI replace us in the near future?可知,担心将来自己的工作会被人工智能取代的新闻主播一定不愿意看到人工智能新闻主播将在电视台开始工作的消息,由此可知画线词意为“不愿意的”。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Unlike previus news rbts thugh, Xin des nt read news like a cld machine; she reads it mre like a human being.The muscles n her face stretch and relax—and her reactins change—as she cntinues reading.可知,与以前的新闻机器人不同的是,辛晓萌播报新闻时不像一台冷冰冰的机器,更像是一个活生生的人,“她”脸上的肌肉伸展和放松,反应也会发生变化,由此可知,以前的新闻机器人播报新闻时面无表情。
6.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的the real difficulty lies in the third—the a result, her expressins lk anything but human可知,真正的难点在于第三项技术,它使辛晓萌的面部表情根据新闻报道的内容的变化而变化。事实上,辛晓萌的表情不总是随着内容的变化而变化,它的表情也不像人类,由此可知,第三项技术还远远不够成熟。
7.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Actually, AI is still n match fr human qualities.可知,人工智能仍无法匹敌人类的特质,由此可知,人工智能新闻主播在不久的将来不会取代人类新闻主播。
【高频词汇】 1.artificial adj.人工的 2.prfessin n.行业,职业
3.imitate v.模仿 4.prnunciatin n.发音 5.mature adj.成熟的
长难句分析
原句 Third, the vices and mvements are married(相结合) in a way that when the AI news anchr reads, the micr electric mtrs behind her face mve t make her expressins seem mre human.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。其中the vices and mvements are married in a way是主句,way后面是that引导的定语从句。在定语从句中,when引导时间状语从句,the micr electric mre human是其对应的主句,其中不定式短语作目的状语。
句意 第三,声音和动作以一种方式结合在一起,当人工智能新闻主播播报时,它脸部后面的微型电动机就会动,让它的表情看起来更像人类。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了科幻大师阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。
1.C 考查过渡句。由空前句可知,美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫是他所处时代最伟大的科幻作家之一,他有预测未来的天赋;再根据后一句可推知,空处在本段中起到承上启下的作用。故C项“早在1983年,他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”切题。
2.D 考查主旨句。由空后句可知,阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场可与工业革命相比的革命,根据第一段可知,下文叙述阿西莫夫预测的事情,故D项“对计算机在未来所扮演的角色方面,他的预测极其准确”与本段内容符合,故选D。
3.G 考查细节句。由空前句可知,他对太空探索进行了很多预测,所以空处要继续谈论他预言的结果。G项“国际空间站印证了他的预言——我们不仅要进入太空,还要设法留在那里”与太空探索话题相关,而且是预测的事情。故选G。
4.A 考查细节句。由下一句“He read the newspapers and magazines sld in his parents? candy stre.”可知,他读了父母的糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。A项“阿西莫夫是一个聪明的孩子,在五岁时就开始自学阅读”与下面一句都在讲阅读,衔接紧密。这两句共同解释上面的问题,即首句内容“阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的?”。故选A。
5.F 考查主旨句。由该空所在位置判断此处应填入本段的主旨句。由下文可知,阿西莫夫能把握科学和社会变革的脉搏。他在《银河帝国》系列等作品中清楚地预见了人类即将面临的事情。故F项“作为一名作家,他的书的特色是以科技引起的社会变革为主题”作为本段主旨句最为合适。
【高频词汇】 1.a great deal 大量;很多 2.sharp adj.清楚明确的;敏锐的 3.becme bred with...对……变得厌烦 4.arund the crner即将来临 5.abslutely adv.极其;绝对地,完全地

Part 1 Reading and Thinking
基础过关练
Ⅰ 2.appintment 3.declared 4.dismiss 5.salary
Ⅱ cntrast 2.r rather 3.test ut 4.mre like
Ⅲ 考查固定搭配。句意: 有81.40%的中国学生参加课外班。相比之下,美国学生(在这方面)的数据只有18.37%。in cmparisn意为“相比之下”。
2.guilty 考查形容词。句意:编辑为没有在最新一期上发表你的文章而感到内疚。系动词feels后接形容词作表语。故填guilty。
3.was;g 考查suggest的用法。句意:他脸上的表情表明他不高兴,所以我建议他和我们一起去野营。第一个suggested意为“表明;显示”,后面的宾语从句用陈述语气,所以从句时态受主句时态的影响,故填was。第二个suggested意为“建议”,后面的宾语从句应该用虚拟语气,即谓语动词用“shuld+动词原形”结构,其中shuld可以省略,故填g。
4.t imagine 考查非谓语动词。句意:由于目前的危机,认为(情况)复苏会快速且容易是荒谬的。此处是“it is+adj.+t d sth.”句型,其中it作形式主语,不定式短语是真正的主语。故填t imagine。
5.was appinted 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:前年他因他丰富的经验和极好的教育背景被任命为总经理。根据时间状语the year befre last判断事情发生在过去,而且主语He和动词appint之间是被动关系,故填was appinted。
Ⅳ std a stranger 2.that;and that
Ⅴ 考查副词。句意:一个叫托尼的家庭机器人将要在拉里的家里进行测试。test ut意为“测试”。故填ut。
2.the 考查冠词。句意:虽然拉里的妻子克莱尔一开始不喜欢这个主意,但她还是被说服在她的丈夫出差期间让这个机器人陪伴她。这个主意在上文出现了,是克莱尔和拉里都知道的,表特指,应使用定冠词the。
3.accmpany 考查动词。句意同上。let sb./sth. d sth.意为“让某人/某物做某事”,此处应填动词,所给词cmpany为名词,意为“陪伴”,其动词形式为accmpany。故填accmpany。
4.expressin 考查名词。句意:虽然它的面部表情从未改变,但这个机器人可以用低沉的声音说话。从句缺少主语,且设空处被形容词facial修饰,所以填名词expressin。
5.mre 考查比较级。句意:克莱尔一看到托尼就感到恐慌,因为它看起来更像是一个人而不是一台机器。根据than判断设空处填比较级形式。mre like意为“更像是”。
6.embarrassed 考查形容词。句意:所以当托尼主动帮她穿衣服时,克莱尔感到非常尴尬。系动词felt后接形容词作表语,形容人的内心感受,所以填embarrassed。
7.making 考查动名词。介词by后面接动名词作宾语,表示“通过做某事”。
8.were invited 考查主谓一致以及动词的时态和语态。句意:他建议她举办一个聚会,期待所有被邀请的客人看到她的房子被彻底改变时都充满羡慕。根据句意可知此处应该用被动语态,wh代替guests在从句中作主语,为复数概念,且此处介绍过去发生的事情,所以填were invited。
9.cmpletely 考查副词。句意同上。修饰was changed应该用副词形式。
10.t 考查介词。句意:托尼说它非常喜欢她,以至于它不愿意离开她。be attached t意为“喜欢……;依恋……”。故填t。

Ⅰ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。随着人工智能在越来越多的工作中的使用,有人担心在许多领域机器人会取代人类。本篇文章以幽默的语气分析了这一问题。
1.D 主旨大意题。通览全文可知本文首先提出有人担心在工作中机器人会取代人类,然后作者以幽默的语气分析了这一问题。由此可知D项“机器人终将取代人类吗?”最适合作为文章标题。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,当机器人意识到工作没有乐趣的时候,它们会打游戏或偷偷看电影。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第五段的叙述可知,雇主不用担心机器人罢工,因为机器人不会要求加薪。但正是因为机器人不会害怕失去工作,他们才不会努力工作。雇主们最终不得不让人重返工作岗位,为了挣钱,人总是愿意工作的,但机器人不会。故选C。
【高频词汇】 1.immune adj.不受影响的;免疫的 2.efficiently adv.高效地 3.reasnable adj.合理的 4.strike n.罢工 5.prductive adj.多产的;有效益的
长难句分析
原句 I think that rbts will nly be n the jb fr abut six mnths befre they start t becme even less prductive than the humans they were designed t replace.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。that引导宾语从句,其中rbts will nly be n the jb fr abut six mnths是主句,befre引导时间状语从句。在时间状语从句中,they were designed t replace是省略了关系词的定语从句,修饰先行词humans。
句意 我认为机器人只工作大约6个月的时间就会开始变得甚至比它们原本被设计出来要取代的人类产生的效益还低。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了世界上第一位女性人工智能新闻主播辛晓萌背后的人工智能技术,同时作者指出,人工智能仍不及人类。
4.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的内容及第二段中的That?s why many news anchrs are wrried: Will AI replace us in the near future?可知,担心将来自己的工作会被人工智能取代的新闻主播一定不愿意看到人工智能新闻主播将在电视台开始工作的消息,由此可知画线词意为“不愿意的”。
5.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Unlike previus news rbts thugh, Xin des nt read news like a cld machine; she reads it mre like a human being.The muscles n her face stretch and relax—and her reactins change—as she cntinues reading.可知,与以前的新闻机器人不同的是,辛晓萌播报新闻时不像一台冷冰冰的机器,更像是一个活生生的人,“她”脸上的肌肉伸展和放松,反应也会发生变化,由此可知,以前的新闻机器人播报新闻时面无表情。
6.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的the real difficulty lies in the third—the a result, her expressins lk anything but human可知,真正的难点在于第三项技术,它使辛晓萌的面部表情根据新闻报道的内容的变化而变化。事实上,辛晓萌的表情不总是随着内容的变化而变化,它的表情也不像人类,由此可知,第三项技术还远远不够成熟。
7.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Actually, AI is still n match fr human qualities.可知,人工智能仍无法匹敌人类的特质,由此可知,人工智能新闻主播在不久的将来不会取代人类新闻主播。
【高频词汇】 1.artificial adj.人工的 2.prfessin n.行业,职业
3.imitate v.模仿 4.prnunciatin n.发音 5.mature adj.成熟的
长难句分析
原句 Third, the vices and mvements are married(相结合) in a way that when the AI news anchr reads, the micr electric mtrs behind her face mve t make her expressins seem mre human.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。其中the vices and mvements are married in a way是主句,way后面是that引导的定语从句。在定语从句中,when引导时间状语从句,the micr electric mre human是其对应的主句,其中不定式短语作目的状语。
句意 第三,声音和动作以一种方式结合在一起,当人工智能新闻主播播报时,它脸部后面的微型电动机就会动,让它的表情看起来更像人类。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了科幻大师阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。
1.C 考查过渡句。由空前句可知,美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫是他所处时代最伟大的科幻作家之一,他有预测未来的天赋;再根据后一句可推知,空处在本段中起到承上启下的作用。故C项“早在1983年,他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”切题。
2.D 考查主旨句。由空后句可知,阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场可与工业革命相比的革命,根据第一段可知,下文叙述阿西莫夫预测的事情,故D项“对计算机在未来所扮演的角色方面,他的预测极其准确”与本段内容符合,故选D。
3.G 考查细节句。由空前句可知,他对太空探索进行了很多预测,所以空处要继续谈论他预言的结果。G项“国际空间站印证了他的预言——我们不仅要进入太空,还要设法留在那里”与太空探索话题相关,而且是预测的事情。故选G。
4.A 考查细节句。由下一句“He read the newspapers and magazines sld in his parents? candy stre.”可知,他读了父母的糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。A项“阿西莫夫是一个聪明的孩子,在五岁时就开始自学阅读”与下面一句都在讲阅读,衔接紧密。这两句共同解释上面的问题,即首句内容“阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的?”。故选A。
5.F 考查主旨句。由该空所在位置判断此处应填入本段的主旨句。由下文可知,阿西莫夫能把握科学和社会变革的脉搏。他在《银河帝国》系列等作品中清楚地预见了人类即将面临的事情。故F项“作为一名作家,他的书的特色是以科技引起的社会变革为主题”作为本段主旨句最为合适。
【高频词汇】 1.a great deal 大量;很多 2.sharp adj.清楚明确的;敏锐的 3.becme bred with...对……变得厌烦 4.arund the crner即将来临 5.abslutely adv.极其;绝对地,完全地
