II、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题3分，满分45分）

   阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

A

In the fictional worlds of film and TV, artificial intelligence（AI） has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans. But what if we’re actually getting closer to a world where Al is capable of thinking and feeling?

Tech company UneeQ is heading for its "digital humans", which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language, but also because of facial movements: raised eyebrows, a smile, even a nod. They look close to a human, but not quite.

What lies beneath UneeQ9 s digital humans? Their 3D faces are modeled on actual human features. Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying, and natural language processing is used to work out a response. Meanwhile, another Al company, Soul Machines, is taking a more biological approach, with a "digital brain", that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions "fblt" and "expressed" by its "digital people".

Shiwali Mohan, an Al scientist at the Palo Research Center, is skeptical of these digital beings. "They’re humanlike in their looks and the way they sound, but that in itself is not being human," she says. "Human qualities also involve how you think, how you approach problems, and how you break them down; and that takes a lot of algorithmic(算法) design. Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans." She then continues, “If something looks like a human, we have high expectations of them, but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively(直觉地) know how other humans react.

Yet the demand is there, with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial, health care, and commercial sectors（行业）. "Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally, they might be left behind," says Chetan Dube, UneeQ9s CEO.

Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further, enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide. "The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize Al," Dube says.

Mohan is cautious about this approach, yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed. "As we develop more advanced Al technology, we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology, she says. "‘Hopefully, all of that is designed to support humans in their goals."

6. According to Para. 2, in what respect（s） do UneeQ9s "digital humans" resemble human beings?

A. In the way they move around.          B. In the way they act and react.

C. In observation and analysis.            D. In speech and facial expressions.

7. Soul Machines’digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it __________.

A. learns to make proper emotional responses

B. tends to imitate human beings’ tone vividly

C. recognizes the speech sounds it receives

D. processes the natural language it hears

8. In Mohan’s opinion, what human quality is lacking in digital beings?

A. Calculating brain.                   B. Language skills.

C. Instinctive judgements.               D. Problem-solving ability.

9. What makes many sectors employ digital humans?

A. The fear of falling behind in efficiency.     B. The urgency to promote e-commerce.

C. The wish to spread digital technology.     D. The need to upgrade the health care system.

10. What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings?

A. It’s well planned.   B. It is promising.     C. It is uncertain.     D. It’s quite hopeless.

B

China landed a spacecraft on Mars for the first time last Saturday. This makes China the first country to make a successful landing on Mars on its first mission to Mars. China’s Zhurong rover （探测车），named after a traditional Chinese fire god, has touched down on the martian surface, the China National Space Administration confirmed on the morning of Saturday, May 15,

The rover is part of the Tian wen-1 mission, which consists of an orbiter, a probe, and a lander. The mission was launched in summer last year, and took seven months to complete its journey to the red planet. It arrived at Mars in February this year, and since then the spacecraft has been performing operations such as capturing images of Mars.

Believe it or not, traveling to Mars is actually the easy part of such a mission. The truly hard part is landing on the planet’s surface, as landers must contend with factors like the planet’s thin atmosphere, its variable dust storms, and a communication delay between Mars and Earth. This delay makes it impossible for people in mission control on Earth to control a craft in real time as it approaches the planet, so the landing must be performed autonomously.

To slow its speed as the lander approached the surface, it used both a parachute （降落伞）and a retrorocket (减速火箭）in its own "seven minutes of terror" as it moved through the atmosphere. It then landed in the Utopia Planitia area, a large impact basin, part of which was exploded by NASA’s Viking 2 lander in the 1970s.

According to China’s slate news agency Xinhua, President Xi Jinping said he was sending "warm congratulations and sincere greetings to all members who have participated in the Mars exploration mission.’

The rover will now begin its three- month mission to explore the Utopia Planitia area, where it will be searching for surface and subsurface ice. The mission will involve both the rover and the orbiter working in concert to create a map of water ice, with the orbiter focusing on the planet’s polar regions.

11. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Tianwen-1 mission includes four space missions.

B. Zhurong was known as a great astronomer in ancient China.

C. The spacecraft has carried out a series of experiments in advance.

D. China achieved success in landing on Mars creating a new record.

12. What should be carefully considered on landing on Mars?

a. Mars’s atmosphere. b. Mars’s bad weather

c. The landing instructions. d. The communication delay.

A. abc B. bed C. abd D. abcd

13. What does the author imply in Paragraph 4?

A. The landing way is quite different. B. The landing process is full of danger.

C. The landing site is unknown to NASA.  D. The landing time is calculate precisely.

14. Which of the following missions will be launched in three months?

A. The analysis of ice samples.

B. The mapping of the Mars’s polar regions.

C. The exploration of the Utopia Planitia area.

D. The collection of surface and subsurface ice.

15. Which column does the passage come from?

A. Space B. Fiction C. Medical D. Nature

C

Bad drivers in the District could soon get a serious warning sent straight to their cellphones. The city is working to identify drivers with a history of traffic violations, such as speeding and red-light carnet tickets, to send messages alerting them of their history of infractions （违规） while warning of their risks of getting into a fatal crash.

City officials say they hope the pointed messages （定制信息） will deter dangerous road behaviors. "Wu know that there is a subset of drivers that are putting others at serious risk with excessive speeding and red-light running," said Jeff Marootian, director of the city’s Department of Transportation, one of the agencies leading the effort. "We’re hoping that this creative approach can ultimately reduce serious injury and fatality crashes.”

"This is a creative approach that we haven’t tried before, and we think that it is worth the effort,"  Marootian said. The concept, which D. C. officials say is a first among cities nationwide, is the latest effort to target dangerous drivers in a city where serious and fatal crashes are on the rise. City leaders said evidence shows drivers with multiple traffic violations are more likely to be involved in crashes.

Researchers have studied the relationship between repeat traffic offenders and serious collisions （碰撞）,with some data suggesting a strong connection between the two. But some researchers also have pointed to other factors at play, such as the amount of time the driver spends on the road and exposure to traffic enforcement （强制性）systems.

A team from The Lab led by Muriel E. Bowser, is examining data from the District’s automated traffic enforcement program to predict a driver’s likelihood of being involved in a serious crash. It will create a campaign that could include text messages and mail sent to a sample of high-risk drivers. "We will evaluate whether drivers who receive these messages have fewer red-light violations, speeding violations, and Ultimately, clashes, compared to the group of high-risk drivers who do not receive the messages,"  according to The Lab.

The program is among the latest road-safety measures with the purpose of cutting the  growing number of traffic injuries and fatalities. Although the new messages appear as a warning to higher-risk drivers city officials said the intent is to educate the recipient, Marootian said there is no violation or fine attached to the message and that the campaign is to use data to directly communicate with individual drivers. Some questioned whether the message will work.

16. What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Prevent. B. Change.

C. Control. D. Handle.

17. What do we know about the approach to sending pointed messages?

A. It may put the drivers at serious risk of crashing.

B. It can identify drivers with records of traffic accidents.

C. It will completely reduce serious injury and fatality crashes.

D. It is the newest attempt in response to the rising crashes.

18. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A. Traffic offenders always cause serious accidents.

B. New drivers bear less blame for serious collisions.

C. Different elements may contribute to serious accidents.

D. Traffic offenders should spend too much time on the road.

19. How do the team from The Lab know whether the approach works?

A. By sending messages to the drivers.

B. By comparing the impact of the approach on two groups.

C. By predicting the possibility of a driver’s involvement in a crash.

D. By checking the response of the receivers who get the messages.

20. What is the text mainly about?

A. A traffic report. B. A scientific method.

C. A professional survey. D. A teaching program.
