[1]Artificial Intelligence：A REAL THREAT?
In the wrds f①Prfessr Stephen Hawking，artificial intelligence will be [2]“either the best，r the wrst thing，ever t happen t②humanity③”．Technlgy f Tmrrw Frum wants t hear yur thughts n AI．Is it ur greatest human achievement s far？Or is it the biggest threat t ur existence④？
[1][标题赏析]本文以疑问句“Artificial Intelligence：A REAL THREAT？”作为标题，有两个意图：一是反映出不同人对人工智能持有不同的态度；二是以疑问句形式激发读者思考，引起读者的兴趣和关注。
[2]该句中的“t happen t humanity”是动词不定式短语作定语，修饰前面由最高级“the best”和“the wrst”修饰的名词thing。
Millenniumbutterfly
Thanks t AI，I've gt my wn super-smart persnal assistant⑤built int⑥my phne．She always has an immediate answer fr any questin I put t her⑦，and even uses my answers t learn mre abut my preferences．[3]It used t feel like 50 per cent f my time was spent researching new restaurants．In cntrast⑧，my PA nly needs a few secnds t find the right place．[4]Every recmmendatin⑨she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant．
[3]“It feels like...”为固定句式，意为“感觉像……”，与“It seems that...”意思相近。
[4]本句中的she指代“my wn super-smart persnal assistant”，运用了拟人的修辞手法。本句是复合句，“she gives me”是定语从句，修饰recmmendatin；since引导原因状语从句；if引导宾语从句，呈现智能助手能够预测的内容。
And speaking f⑩hanging ut⑪，I'm hping that self-driving cars are available sn．[5]I've been taking driving lessns fr ver a year，and still haven't gt my licence．Self-driving cars can learn t drive in the same way that we d，and can make judgements [6]based n infrmatin．And [7]as they wn't be susceptible t⑫human errr，they'll certainly be [8]a lt safer．[9]The nly thing is that there might be a few machine-learning prblems when the first cars hit the market⑬，s perhaps I'd better learn t drive first．Still，I [10]d think that develpments in AI will n the whle⑭[11]make ding day-t-day⑮things a lt easier．
[5]此处是现在完成进行时，表示从过去某一时间开始，一直延续到现在的动作，并有可能继续延续下去。
[6]过去分词短语作后置定语。
[7]as引导原因状语从句。
[8]“a lt＋比较级”，表示“……得多”。
[9]“The nly thing is that...”是常用句型，意为“唯有一点是……”，用于提出问题或缺点。其中that引导表语从句。句中的when引导时间状语从句。
[10]“d＋动词原形”用于强调谓语，表示“的确/务必……”。
[11]“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构。其中动词-ing形式短语“ding day-t-day things”为宾语。

[12]形容词短语作后置定语。
[13]that引导定语从句，其中“that's”通常写作“that is”。
Even if that desn't happen，there are ther risks．Millenniumbutterfly，yu say hw great it wuld be t have self-driving cars，but [14]what abut all the taxi drivers wh wuld lse their jbs？They wuld just be amng the first victims㉒f AI．Nearly every jb is ptentially㉓at risk㉔in the lng run㉕．Even jurnalists are nw being replaced with technlgy that can write basic news reprts．[15]As it is，almst 50 per cent f US jbs are at risk frm autmatin in the next 20 years．
[14]“what abut...？”在此处用于引出作者的观点和态度。
[15]as it is意为“事实上”，表示对目前的情况作出的判断，尤其强调目前的情况与原来料想的不一样。
[16]The truth is that nne f us is prepared fr the challenges f AI．
[16]“The truth is that...”中that引导表语从句。该句式常用来引出真相以引起读者的关注。
Pink haze
Machine learning is smething we have cme t accept㉖as a part f ur mdern wrld．I believe mst f the value f AI lies in㉗its capacity㉘t analyse㉙and interpret vast amunts f data，which means it can even slve prblems that are t challenging fr human experts．
But [17]while super-intelligent AI culd be the biggest leap㉚frward in human histry，[18]if it ges wrng r falls int the wrng hands㉛，it culd als be the mst dangerus．Hwever，AI is nt ging t g away．We [19]have n chice but t embrace㉜it and regulate㉝it．[20]One thing I think we all agree n，thugh，is that saying“My AI did it！”wn't be any excuse fr illegal㉞r immral㉟behaviur!
[17]while引导让步状语从句。while为连词，相当于althugh，一般用于句首。
[18]if引导条件状语从句。
[19]have n chice but t d sth．意为“除了做某事别无选择”。
[20]
人工智能：真正的威胁？
用斯蒂芬·霍金教授的话说，人工智能将是“人类有史以来最好或最坏的事情”。明日科技论坛希望听到您对人工智能的想法。到目前为止，人工智能算是我们人类最伟大的成就还是对我们生存的最大威胁呢？
千禧蝶
多亏了人工智能，我才可以在手机中内置个人超级智能私人助手。我向她提任何问题，她总能立即答复，甚至可以通过我的答案了解更多关于我的个人偏好。过去，我觉得自己有50%的时间花在了研究新餐厅上，相比之下，有了私人助手，只需数秒就能找到正确的餐厅了。因为她可以预测我是否会喜欢某一个餐厅，所以她给我的每一个建议都很棒。
说到出去玩，我希望自动驾驶汽车能很快面世。我已经上驾驶课一年多了，但仍然没有拿到驾照。自动驾驶汽车可以学习与我们相同的驾驶模式，并且可以根据信息做出判断。而且由于它们不会受到人为错误的影响，肯定会安全得多。唯一的问题是，当第一批汽车上市时，可能会有一些机器学习问题，所以也许我最好先学会驾驶。不过，我确实认为，总体而言，人工智能的发展将使日常工作变得更加容易。
小破孩儿
你今天正在使用和享受的技术是人工智能的基本形式，没有程序它就无法独立思考。当然，拥有更先进的人工智能形式非常有用，这种更先进的人工智能形式是一种真正独立的人工智能形式，能够运用自己的判断力，可以帮助我们解决世界上的许多问题。但是你是否考虑过风险？毕竟，为什么独立的人工智能形式需要考虑人类的选择和欲望？我们可能会被视为解决更大问题道路上的一个 “小”麻烦。如果幸运的话，人工智能可能会认为我们足够有价值，可以留下来。否则，它可能会扫清我们所有人！
尽管还没有发生什么，但确实存在其他的风险。千禧蝶，你说拥有自动驾驶汽车会很棒，但出租车司机失业这个问题呢？他们将会是人工智能的第一批受害者。长此以往，几乎所有工作都可能处于潜在的危险之中。甚至现在的新闻工作者也正在被可以撰写简单的新闻报道的技术所取代。实际上，在未来20年中，美国有将近50%的工作会受到自动化的威胁。
事实上，我们中没有人做好了面对人工智能的挑战的准备。
粉红 烟雾
机器学习作为现代世界的一部分，已经成为我们接受的东西。我认为人工智能的大部分价值在于它分析和解析庞大数据的能力，也就是说它甚至能够解决对于人类专家来说具有挑战性的问题。
虽然超智能AI可能是人类有史以来的最大飞跃，但如果出错或者落入坏人手中，它同时可能是最危险的。但是，人工智能不会消失。我们别无选择，只能接受它并加以规范。不过，我想大家都认可的一点就是，“这是我的AI做的！”这句话不会成为非法或不道德行为的任何借口。

Farms in the Future
Skyscrapers (摩天大楼) are the ultimate symbl f urban life．By 2050，almst 80 percent f the earth's ppulatin culd live in cities．The human ppulatin culd increase t 9.1 billin yet the amunt f land available fr farming wn't be the same． 1
Vertical farms，where farmers culd grw crps in envirnmentally friendly skyscrapers，culd be the slutin．In spite f cncerns ver high csts，experts want t make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers t grw crps． 2
Vertical farms wuld have many advantages，experts say．The fd wuld be grwn with minimal effects n the envirnment．Unlike traditinal farming，vertical farming wuld nt frce animals ut f their habitats by ccupying large areas f land，nr wuld it pllute the air with the use f heavy farming equipment． 3 These have been well recgnized．
Grwing prsperity has led t many peple demanding that all fds be available all year rund．Indr farming culd prduce crps cnstantly and crps wuld nt suffer frm weather-related prblems like drught r flding．In additin，the use f agricultural chemicals fr regulating insects wuld be minimal．
4 They pint ut that althugh crps grwing in a tall glass building wuld get natural sunlight during the day，it wuldn't be enugh．The plants clsest t the windws wuld grw much mre quickly than the plants further inside．The plants grwing away frm the windws may nt prduce as many r as high-quality vegetables． 5 They wuld need additinal light surces．
Experts agree that the new farming practices are needed t supprt the planet's need fr mre and mre fd at affrdable csts，bth t the farmer and t the cnsumer．Vertical farms may be a small-scale answer，but the best ideas culd be yet t cme．

F．Thse farms wuld als reduce the csts and negative effects f transprting fd ver the distance．
G．They believe that we can increase the fd prductin by changing ur thinking frm ut t up．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来城市里的垂直农场。
1．C [上文“The human ppulatin culd increase t 9.1 billin yet the amunt f land available fr farming wn't be the same．”说明人口增加，但耕地面积不会增加，分析选项可知C项(因此，如何满足我们星球不断增长的粮食需求可能是一个大问题。)承接上文，说明这种趋势带来的影响，符合语境。C项中的“increasing fd needs”与上文“human ppulatin”和“the amunt f land available fr farming”对应，故选C。]
2．G [上文“In spite f cncerns ver high csts，experts want t make these urban farms a reality and use these skyscrapers t grw crps．”说明专家希望转变思路，用这些摩天大楼来种粮食，分析选项可知G项“他们相信我们可以通过从向外到向上的思维方式转变来增加粮食产量。”概括上文内容，符合语境。G项中的“They”指的是上文中的“experts”，G项中的“changing ur thinking frm ut t up”与上文中的“use these skyscrapers t grw crps”一致，故选G。]
3．F [根据本段首句“Vertical farms wuld have many advantages，experts say．”及后边内容可知，本段讲的是垂直农场的优点。设空处上文“Unlike traditinal equipment．”说明了垂直农场的一个优点，结合空后的“These have been well recgnized．”可推知，垂直农场不止一个优点，设空处讲的是其他优点。分析选项可知F项(那些农场还会减少长距离运输食物的成本和负面影响。)符合语境，说明垂直农场的另一个优点，与上文是并列关系，也符合下文中的“These”，F项中的“als”是关键词。故选F。]
4．A [根据本段内容可知，本段讲的是垂直农场的一个缺点是光照问题，光照不足且不均匀。上文提到了垂直农场的优点，本段讲的是其缺点，A项(尽管如此，有一些人对垂直农场持批判的态度。)表示转折并引出本段对垂直农场的缺点的介绍，承上启下，符合语境。故选A。]
5．D [空前列举了垂直农场的光照问题，D项(出于这些原因，自然光不能成为垂直农场的有效解决方法。)总结了上文，给出由上文问题得出的结论，且与下文“They wuld need additinal light surces”衔接，符合语境。D项中的“natural light cannt be a wrkable slutin”与下文“need additinal light surces”对应，故选D。]
