发无人驾驶概念飞机，他们的合作将无人驾驶概念提升到新的高度。

A.Thelackofairfieldsinholidaydestinations.

B.Theconcernaboutthesafetyofairtravel.

C.Theshortageofpilotsinthenearfuture.

D.Thedifficultyintrainingnewpilots.

解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段中的“about650,000shortofnewpilotsinthe

world...doubleduringthatsameperiod”可知，未来20年飞行员数量将会有650,000的缺口，

与此同时航空公司客流量将翻倍，更突显了飞行员的短缺。

A.Theymaybewelcomedbypilots.

B.Theymayhaveapromisingfuture.

C.Theymayberejectedbysomepeople.

D.Theymaychangeourunderstandingofplanes.

解析：选C推理判断题。根据末段可知，若无人驾驶技术用于民航，则会违背航空公

司的规则——驾驶室至少需要两名飞行员，并且举例说明了只有一名飞行员驾驶飞机的危险

性极高，同时，乘客和保险公司对此的态度也不明朗。故可推断：无人驾驶概念飞机会受到

一些人的反对。

7.Whatisthemainideaofthetext?

A.Scientists*effortsincreatingpilotlessplanes.

C.Developers*successinmakingpilotlessplanesareality.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款能够帮助人们学会穿搭的人工智能

系统。

8.WhyaremagazinesandInstagrammentionedatthebeginningofthetext?

A.Tointroducethetopic.

B.Toexplainwhattheyare.

C.Topresentanargument.

D.Toclarifythewritingpurpose.

提至Umagazines和Instagram是为了引出话题。

9.ThetoolFashion++isusedfor.

A.helpingpeopleknowthelatestfashiontrend

B.introducingpeopletothemeaningoffashion

C.accompanyingpeopleduringtheirshopping

D.givingpeopleadviceonproperdressing

解析：选D推理判断题。根据第二段中的"anartificialintelligencesystemthatcan...

10.WhatchallengingproblemdidHsiaosolve?

A.Attractingusers.

B.Findingenoughimages.

C.Keepingupwithfashiontrends.

D.Remindingusersofunsuitableexamples.

解析：选D细节理解题。根据第五段中的“findingunfashionableimagesproved

challenging...createless-fashionableexamplesandtrainedthesystemonwhatnottowear.“可

11.Whatisthelastparagraphmainlyabout?

A.ThepopularityofFashion++.

B.ThelimitationofFashion++.

C.Researchers*concernsabouttheAL

D.People'sexpectationtowardsAIsystems.

解析：选B段落大意题。根据最后一段可知，网络是从上世纪90年代才开始普及的，

所以复古衣服穿搭的数据就会偏少，同时使用者上传的数据也大多来自北美，另外很多样本

也都是按照模特为参照，这些都说明Fashion++是有局限性的。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明性议论文。在法国，书店里的书只能按定价出售，但随着电
