robots is just silly.the real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(ai) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want.in 1960 a well-known mathematician norbert wiener,who founded the field of cybernetics(控制论),put it this way:“if we use,to achieve our purposes,a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预),we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”a machine with a specific purpose has another quality,one that we usually associate with living things:a wish to preserve its own existence.for the machine,this quality is not in-born,nor is it something introduced by humans;it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead.so if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee,it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task.if we are not careful,then,we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined,super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own,with the real world as the chessboard.the possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists.some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall,using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world.unfortunately,that plan seems unlikely to work:we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans,let alone super intelligent machines.solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in ai seems to be possible but not easy.there are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines.but the problem should not be dismissed out of hand,as it has been by some ai researchers.some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teamsyet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans.others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility.still others think that super intelligent ai will never happen.on september 11,1933,famous physicist ernest rutherford stated,with confidence,“anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” however,on september 12,1933,physicist leo szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.32.paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .a.run out of human controlb.satisfy humans real desiresc.command armies of killer robotsd.work faster than a mathematician答案:a解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容,尤其是第二句可推断出,人工智能产品的发展很可能将会超出人类的控制范围。33.machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to .a.prevent themselves from being destroyedb achieve their original goals independentlyc.do anything successfully with given ordersd.beat humans in international chess matches答案:a解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,有特殊用途的机器和生物一样,也会防止自身遭到毁灭。34.according to some researchers,we can use firewalls to .a.help super intelligent machines work betterb.be secure against evil human beingsc.keep machines from being harmedd.avoid robots affecting the world答案:d解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知,一些研究人员认为,我们可以使用防火墙把机器人封闭起来,避免它们影响我们生活的现实世界。35.what does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?a.it will disappear with the development of ai.b.it will get worse with human interference.c.it will be solved but with difficulty.d.it will stay for a decade.答案:c解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知作者认为,超智能机器的安全问题不是不可以解决,但解决难度很大。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to develop individuality(个性) in kidsknowing how to help kids develop
