Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2020福建厦门一中月考,)

Many leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades, artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs, forever transforming life on the earth.

The reason why many people regard this as science fiction is that we've traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.

From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher,intelligence is simply a certain kind of information processing performed by elementary particles(基本粒子) moving around,and there is no law of physics that says one can't build more intelligent machines than us in all ways. This suggests that we've only seen the tip of the iceberg and that there is the amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that exists in nature and use it to help humanity.

If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence, amplifying our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow's toughest problems. For example, why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for? Why not increase productivity through automation and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable(可持续的) energy?

I'm optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our technology and the knowledge with which we manage it.But this requires giving up our outdated concept of learning from mistakes.That helped us win the race with less powerful technology. We met with fire and then invented fire extinguishers(灭火器), and we met with cars and then invented seat belts. However, it's an awful idea for more powerful technologies, such as nuclear weapons or super intelligent AI—where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right from the first.

1.How do many people feel about leading AI researchers' predictions?

A.Worried. B.Curious.

C.Doubtful. D.Disappointed.

2.What does the author think of intelligence?

A.We know little about it.

B.It belongs to human beings.

C.It is too difficult to understand.

D.We have a good command of it.

3.What does the underlined word “upside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Cost. B.Potential.

C.Quantity. D.Advantage.

4.What's important for us in the race between people and technology?

A.Learning from failure.

B.Increasing our intelligence.

C.Avoiding making mistakes.

D.Making accurate predictions.

Apps are becoming increasingly popular nowadays for good reason.They can help you out in almost every area of your life, whether it's keeping fit, communicating with friends, or even learning a language. 　1　 Here's what you should think about before downloading an app for language learning. 

·Learn from diverse sources(not just apps)

Any seasoned language learner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you.This is a world of diverse sources(来源) of information, from newspapers and books to TV, radio, music and even real people.Would you limit yourself to one medium in your native language?　2　 

·Establish your purpose and plan your habits

Do you want to be fluent in weeks or are you in it for the brain training? The good apps are designed to help you fit your studies around your timetable. 　3　 These apps encourage habit building, because the successful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return. 

·Make it social

　4　 I mean real social contact. I owe the speed of progress I made in Italian to the support from Jim, my partner in study time. Find a friend to accompany you.Take an evening class.Borrow a book.Buy a book. Attend a language school.Just don't forget your phone! 

If I may speak sincerely, the combination of the app, the language school, Jim, the evening class, and a book or two proved extremely effective. 　5　 

A.I recommend it.

B.Remember that an app is just a tool.

C.No, I don't mean posting your progress online.

D.I encourage you to use apps as often as you can.

E.Probably not, so why do so in your new language?

F.The best apps adapt themselves based upon your behavior.

G.However, you need to know how to use them properly to really benefit.

Alex was very excited because New Year's Eve was approaching.Suddenly, he saw his grandfather sitting alone looking very unhappy.

Alex went to him and asked, “Grandpa, why are you sitting alone? Is there anything wrong with you?”

His grandfather replied, “No, I am fine.I just feel like sitting alone.”

“Grandpa, you know New Year is near, so are you preparing for it?” asked Alex excitedly.

“No dear, I am not.With the passage of time, the world has completely changed and I don't see any point of celebrating in the world I see today,” answered his grandfather disappointedly.

“I know something is wrong with you and you are not telling me.Please tell me what the problem is,” Alex said.

“I feel I am a stranger in the world I am living in.It is not the same as I have known.Now everyone is busy with their own work.Your father is busy with business, your brother is busy with the computer, your sister is busy studying abroad and your mum is busy with household work.I don't know how to pass my days,” said his grandfather sadly.

“Grandpa, you have me!” said Alex.

His grandfather smiled and said, “Yeah, you are here, but what about others? In our days, we had a fixed time each day when the whole family sat together and talked, shared problems and laughed together.”

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了正确认识并恰当利用人工智能以使其造福人类的问题。

4.potential n.潜力;可能性　5.optimistic adj.乐观的

Ⅱ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。如今,应用程序正变得越来越流行,这是有原因的。它们可以在你生活的方方面面帮助你,无论是保持健康,还是与朋友交流,甚至是学习一门语言。文章主要介绍了一些在下载一款语言学习应用程序之前应该考虑的事情。

1.G　上文提到了应用程序的好处,后文则提到在下载之前应该考虑一些事情,故本句与上文构成转折,说明需要知道如何正确使用应用程序才能真正受益。G选项中them指代上文中的Apps。故G选项“然而,你需要知道如何正确地使用它们才能真正受益”符合语境,故选G。

2.E　上文提到了学习语言有各种不同的渠道可供选择,且空前句是一个疑问句“学习母语时你会把自己限制在一种媒介上吗?”,本句位于本段最后一句,应当承接上文回答这一问题,故E项“也许并不会,那么为什么在你的新语言学习中这么做呢?”符合语境,故选E。

3.F　上文提到好的应用程序被设计来帮助你适应你的学习时间表,即好的应用程序可以自我调整,来适应使用者的习惯,F选项中The best apps对应后文中These apps。故F选项“最好的应用程序会根据你的行为进行自我调整”符合语境,故选F。

4.C　根据小标题“Make it social(使其具有社交性)”以及后文“我的意思是真实的社交”可知,本句应当是在说明与后文意思相反的情况,C选项中I don't mean与后文I mean相对应。故C选项“不,我不是说在网上公布你的进步”符合语境,故选C。

5.A　上文提到了一种有效的方法,言下之意,作者推荐这种做法,A选项中it指代上文中the combination of...。A选项“我推荐它”符合语境,故选A。

7.sincerely adv.诚挚地;真诚地　8.recommend v.推荐

长难句分析

原句　Any seasoned language learner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you.

分析　本句为主从复合句。that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you 为宾语从句,作tell的宾语,其中, which it opens up to you为定语从句,修饰先行词the world。

句意　任何经验丰富的语言学习者都会告诉你,掌握一门外语的魅力在于它为你打开的世界。

Ⅲ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国首个人工智能主题公园在北京海淀公园进行试点运行。

1.applied　考查过去分词。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语can record且中间无连词,故此处应用非谓语动词形式,主语driverless shuttle buses and smart lamp posts和动词apply是逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词作状语。故填applied。

2.instantly　考查副词。句意:此外,位于四环路附近占地约34公顷的海淀公园里还安装了能够即时响应人类指令的智能扬声器。此处用副词instantly(立即)作状语修饰动词respond。故填instantly。

3.which　考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Haidian Park,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,用关系代词which引导该从句,that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。

4.an　考查冠词。句意:1月,海淀区政府与互联网公司百度签署了一项协议,共同探索“智慧城市”的建设。此处泛指“一个协议”,且agreement以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。故填an。

5.building　考查名词。动词explore后接名词作宾语,“smart city”是定语,修饰名词building(建设)。故填building。

6.to run　考查动词不定式。句意:去年接待游客约120万人次的海淀公园被选中运行这次试点计划。be chosen to do sth.被选中做某事。故填to run。

7.departments　考查名词的数。此处指过去10个月,共有10个政府部门和公司参与了公园的重建工作。department是可数名词,前面由数词10修饰,应用复数形式。故填departments。

8.of　考查介词。此处指公园的重建工作。此处是所有格,故填of。

9.have set　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:近年来,中国高科技企业纷纷涉足人工智能产业,而(中国)政府也在10月份强调,这将推动国家新一代人工智能的发展。此处缺少谓语,由时间状语In recent years可知,时态用现在完成时,“Chinese high-tech companies”和“set foot in”之间是主动关系,用主动语态,主语Chinese high-tech companies是复数,谓语也用复数形式。故填have set。

10.country's　考查名词所有格。句意同上。此处缺少定语,指“国家的”,用“'s”名词所有格,即“country's”,修饰名词短语new generation of artificial intelligence。故填country's。

【高频词汇】　1.intelligent adj.智能的;有才智的　2.respond to回答;回应;作出反应　3.instruction n.指令;命令;说明

4.install v.安装　5.pilot adj.试点的　6.participate in 参加;参与
