A machine can nw nt nly beat yu at chess, it can als utperfrm yu in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisc, a sftware prgram called Prject Debater beat its human ppnents, including Na Ovadia, Israel’s frmer natinal debating champin.
Brilliant thugh it is, Prject Debater has sme weaknesses. It takes sentences frm its library f dcuments and prebuilt arguments and strings them tgether. This can lead t the kinds f errrs n human wuld make. Such wrinkles will n dubt be irned ut, yet they als pint t a fundamental prblem. As Kristian Hammnd, prfessr f electrical engineering and cmputer science at Nrthwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knws what it’s talking abut.”
What Hammnd is referring t is the questin f meaning, and meaning is central t what distinguishes the least intelligent f humans frm the mst intelligent f machines. A cmputer wrks with symbls. Its prgram specifies a set f rules t transfrm ne string f symbls int anther. But it des nt specify what thse symbls mean. Indeed, t a cmputer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, als wrk with symbls. But fr humans, meaning is everything. When we cmmunicate, we cmmunicate meaning. What matters is nt just the utside f a string f symbls, but the inside t, nt just hw they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges thrugh a prcess f scial interactin, nt f cmputatin, interactin that shapes the cntent f the symbls in ur heads. The rules that assign meaning lie nt just inside ur heads, but als utside, in sciety, in scial memry, scial cnventins and scial relatins. It is this that distinguishes humans frm machines. And that’s why, hwever astnishing Prject Debater may seem, the traditin that began with Scrates and Cnfucius will nt end with artificial intelligence.

A. T explain the use f a sftware prgram.
B. T shw the cleverness f Prject Debater.

When "Rise f the Planet f the Apes" was first shwn t the public last mnth, a grup f excited animal activists gathered n Hllywd Bulevard. But they weren’t there t thrw red paint n fur-cat-wearing film stars. Instead, ne activist, dressed in a full-bdy mnkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers: "Thanks fr nt using real apes (猿)!"

One nnprfit rganizatin, which mnitrs the treatment r animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs n mre than 2,000 prductins this year. Already, a number f films, including "Water fr Elephants," "The Hangver Part Ⅱ" and "Zkeeper," have drawn the anger f activists wh say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated prperly.
In sme cases, it’s nt s much the treatment f the animals n set in the studi that has activists wrried; it’s the ff-set training and living cnditins that are raising cncerns.

（2023·浙江·统考模拟预测）A relatinship between the amunt f adult speech children are expsed t and the cncentratin f myelin, a substance in the brain, has been fund, researchers say.
“I think the take-hme message is, abslutely talking t yur kids. It’s literally shaping the structure f the brain,” says the lead authr, Prf. Jhn P. Spencer f the University f East Anglia.
The team find, fr the 30-mnth-lds, larger amunts f adult speech are assciated with higher quantities f myelin in language-related pathways in the brain; hwever, fr the 6-mnth-lds, it ges the ppsite way.
While the latter (后者) is unexpected, Spencer pints ut ne pssible factr: the brain’s stage f develpment.
“When babies are six mnths ld, they experience massive grwth f new nerve cells,” he says. “S the input cmes in and may help extend the perid f brain grwth.” “While at 30 mnths, the brain starts t cut back sme f the cell grwth, and frm specific cnnectins. That’s where myelin cmes in. S nw the input starts t help structure the myelin,” he adds.
The researchers cnclude adult speech is significant fr bth age grups and that the mre adult speech children g thrugh, the mre sensitive they will be t language. The next step fr them is t figure ut whether the 6-mnth-ld babies shwing that negative cnnectin will surely turn int 30-mnth-ld kids wh shw psitive relatinship.
Dr. Salni Krishnan, Reader in cgnitive neurscience (认知神经科学) at Ryal Hllway, University f Lndn, wh is nt invlved in the wrk, hwever, ntes individual differences in language ability are linked t genetics. “Children wh are expsed t mre language at hme and have higher myelinatin will als have inherited genes (经遗传获得的基因) frm parents wh are mre excellent in languages,” she said. “N final cnclusin culd be made befre this ptential genetic effect are tested. And yet there being currently n standard arund the amunt f input children shuld receive, caregivers shuld nt necessarily feel pressure t talk mre t their children.”

My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember n judging day, walking the exhibit hall and lking at the peple gathered utside waiting t get in. My teacher turned t me and said, “That’s the future right there.” It was s amazing t spend time with all f these participants wh are ging t d amazing things in the future.
