of artificial intelligence.alphago,deepminds go-playing ai,just defeated the best go-playing human,lee sedol.but as we drink to its success,we should also begin trying to understand what it means for the future.the number of possible moves in a game of go is so huge that,in order to win against a player like lee,alphago was designed to adopt a human-like style of gameplay by using a relatively recent developmentdeep learning.deep learning uses large data sets,“machine learning” algorithms (计算程序) and deep neural (神经的) networks to teach the ai how to perform a particular set of tasks.rather than programming complex go rules and strategies into alphago,deepmind designers taught alphago to play the game by feeding it data based on typical go moves.then,alphago played against itself,tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time.the results speak for themselves.deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations.it results in ai that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour.commenting after his first loss,lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made.demis hassabis,one of deepminds founders,echoed this comment: “were very pleased that alphago played some quite surprising and beautiful moves.”unpredictability and surprises areor can bea good thing.they can indicate that a system is working well,perhaps better than the humans that came before it.such is the case with alphago.however,unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control.that hassabis is surprised at his creations behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design.and though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as go,it raises urgent questions elsewhere.how much and what kind of control should we give up to ai machines? how should we design appropriate human control into ai that requires us to give up some of that very control? is there some ai that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? how much of a say should corporations,governments,experts or citizens have in these matters? these important questions,and many others like them,have emerged in response,but remain unanswered.they require human,not human-like,solutions.so as we drink to the milestone in ai,lets also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and ai is now.21.what contributes most to the unconventional move of alphago in the game?a.the capability of self-improvement.b.the constant input of large data sets.c.the installation of deep neutral networks.d.the knowledge of go rules and strategies.22.a potential danger of ai is .a.the loss of human controlb.the friendly relationshipc.the fierce competitiond.the lack of challenge23.how should we deal with the unpredictability of ai? a.we should stop ai machines from developing even further.b.we should call on the government to solve these problems for us.c.we should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions.d.we should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything.24.whats the authors attitude towards this remarkable advance in ai? a.supportive.b.optimistic.c.doubtful.d.cautious.语篇解读:本篇阅读结合最近比较热的alphago战胜韩国棋手李世石的围棋比赛展开,阐述了ai的运作原理以及作者的思考。答案及剖析:21.a推理判断题。根据第二段中的alphago played against itself,tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time可知,ai可以通过不断和自己比赛吸取经验获得自我提高。可知选项a正确。22.a细节理解题。根据第四段中的“however,unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control”可知,其危险在于可能会摆脱人类对其控制,故答案选a。23.c推理判断题。根据第五段中的“they require human,not human-like,solutions”可知,我们应该依靠人类自己来解决问题。故答案c正确。24.d推理判断题。根据最后一段可知作者对于ai的先进性持谨慎态度。故答案d正确。bmy wife and i have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store.i dont think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have.they work for a little over minimum wage and i often wonder how they make ends meet.one of the clerks,charlie,was always wearing his glasses but he didnt one day.i asked him about it and he said theyd been out of order and that he couldnt afford a new pair.his family needed money.it was obvious that he was having a difficult time.we wanted to help him,so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan.we had his secretary contact him,asking him to come in for an eye exam for free.we told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them.although charlie questioned what was going on,the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses.when we went in to pay the bill,the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!it was so wonderful to see charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about.im sure that upon hearing his story,ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.25.why didnt the clerk charlie wear glasses one day?a.it was very warm and fine.b.his old glasses were broken.c.his glasses were missing.d.he forgot to wear his glasses.26.from the passage,we can infer that .a.charlie was a young man with skillsb.charlie knew who paid the money for the new glassesc.charlie didnt support his family with enough moneyd.charlie entirely accepted the money for the new glasses27.the underlined word “waived” in the third paragraph can be replaced by .a.gave upb.took upc.cut downd.put off28.which of the following could be the best title for the passage?a.the wonderful feeling of helping othersb.customers gift to an employeec.a friendly clerk-charlied.a new pair of glasses语篇解读:本文是关于爱的故事。作者夫妇发现百货店的员工charlie的眼镜坏了,因为没钱而无法配眼镜,作者夫妇悄悄为他配上了新眼镜。这种爱感动了charlie,而他也在传播着这份爱。答案及剖析:25.b细节理解题。根据题干关键词the clerk charlie wear glasses one day找到文章第二段的he said theyd been out of order and that he couldnt afford a new pair。故选b。26.c推理判断题。根据文章第二段的his family needed money.it was obvious that he was having a difficult time推断出charlie没有足够的钱养活家人。故选c。27.a词义猜测题。gave up放弃;took up开始做某事,从事;cut down砍下,缩减;put off推迟。根据文章第三段最后一句话中的the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses和前文的the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea推断应是医生被作者夫妇的主意所感动,免去了检查费并且眼镜的价钱也只收了一半。故选a。28.b主旨大意题。a.the wonderful feeling of helping others帮助别人的美妙感觉;b.customers gift to an employee顾客给雇工的礼物;c.a friendly clerk-charlie一个友好的员工charlie;a new pair of glasses一副新眼镜。通读全文,并根据文章最后一段中的关键词gift判断选b。cits the ending of 2016,but as usa today says,“its never too late to plan your 2016 travels”.with so many hot destinations around the globe,“where should i go?” can be difficult to answer.according to lonely planet,though,brazil is a fine choice-on aug.29,the travel guide named that country the top one to visit in 2016.“as if endless strands of coast and mountains,splashed with rainforest didnt already add up to an unfair share of heaven (天堂),brazil will hold two of the greatest sporting events in the world,beginning with the 2014 fifa world cup and followed by the 2016 summer olympics,”explained lonely planet.brazil is the largest and most populous country in south america.it boasts(自豪地拥有) the amazon,the worlds largest jungle,which is home to a variety of plants and animals.but the great landscape is not the only thing brazilians take pride in.the colors green and yellow might make most people think of brazils soccer team even more than its national flag.soccer is more than a sport in brazil;its a way of life.in fact,the world cup brings brazilians together.it is interesting to note,that the general elections(大选) in brazil are usually held during the same year as the world cup.political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm created by soccer to inspire political energy.alongside soccer,samba is another symbol of brazil.the countrys most traditional dance is highlighted every february at the rio carnival,which is one of the worlds biggest.“brazil has left its second-class nation status,” said former brazilian president luiz inacio lula da silva in 2009 after rio de janeiro was awarded the 2016 olympics.brazils growing economy,fueled (刺激) by oil and aircraft factories,has made it more than just a nation of samba,soccer and beaches.these days,it might just be the best tourist destination in the world.29.which is true about brazil?a.it will hold the fifa world cup and the summer olympics in 2016.b.soccer and samba are two symbols of the country.c.it is the largest country with the longest history in south america.d.its amazon is the worlds largest jungle,which brazilians take pride in only.30.we can tell from the words of luiz inacio lula da silva that a.his country will be the first class nation status after the 2016 olympics.b.his country has been left behind by other second-class nations.c.he is confident that his country has developed very fast.d.the 2016 olympics ,not samba or soccer,has made his country the first class31.the authors purpose in writing the article is to .a.prove that lonely planets recommendation is rightb.give an introduction of brazil as a tourist destinationc.give an objective review of brazil as a nationd.explain why brazil will be holding the two sporting events语篇解读: 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了巴西是一个理想的旅游胜地。答案及剖析:29.b细节理解题。根据第四段中的“the colors green and yellow might make most people think of brazils soccer team even more than its national flag.soccer is more than a sport in brazil”及第五段首句“alongside soccer,samba is another symbol of brazil.”可知,足球和桑巴是巴西的两大象征,故b项正确。30.c推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中luiz inacio lula da silva的话“brazil has left its second-class nation status”可知,他认为巴西已经摆脱了二等国家的地位,言外之意,他认为巴西发展得很快,故c项正确。31.b推理判断题。根据第一段中的“brazil is a fine choice-on aug.29,the travel guide named that country the top one to visit in 2016.”及最后一段中的“it might just be the best tourist destination in the world.”可知,作者写这篇文章主要是说明巴西是一个理想的旅游胜地,故b项正确。dspeed-reading is a necessary skill in the internet age.we skim over articles,e-mails and wechat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text.surrounded
