四个选项中 选出最佳选项 How Much Can We Afford to Forget In 2018 Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools should teach students Most said students should spend less time memorizing facts and have more space for creative activities As the Internet grows more powerful students can access 获得 knowledge easily Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads Civilizations 文明 develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary In the Agricultural 农业的 Age a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills When societies industrialized the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget Nowadays smart machines give us access to most human knowledge It seems that we no longer need to remember most things Does it matter Researchers have recognized several problems that may happen For one human beings have biases 偏见 and smart machines are likely to increase our biases Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process In the process human beings still decide on the correct answers Another problem relates to the ease of accessing information When there were no computers efforts were required to get knowledge from other people or go to the library We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books and what lies in our heads But today the Internet gives us the information we need quickly This can lead to the mistaken belief the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along 第 8 页 共 19 页 In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence we have easy access to smart memory networks where information is stored But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily The collapse of any of the networks of relations our well being 健康 depends upon such as food and energy would produce terrible results Without food we get hungry without energy we feel cold And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks and can be found when we need them perhaps they re not really forgotten Still as time goes on we gradually but unquestionably become strangers to future people 1 Why are smart machines likely to increase our biases A Because they go off course in testing and scoring B Because we control the training process on them C Because we offer them too much information D Because they overuse the provided answers 2 The ease of accessing information from the Internet A frees us from making efforts to learn new skills B prevents civilizations from being lost at a high speed C misleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledge D separates the facts we have from those in the smart machines 3 The word collapse in Paragraph 5 probably means A a sudden failure B the basic rule C a disappointing start 第 9 页 共 19 页 D the gradual development 4 What is the writer s main purpose in writing this passage A To question about the standards of information storage B To discuss our problems of communication with machines C To stress the importance of improving our memorizing ability D To remind us of the risk of depending on machines to remember 18 10 分 根据短文内容 选择正确答案 It s time to plant potatoes but I can t do

front of the other An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly correctly and without thinking Educators call it automaticity 自动性 A child learns to read by sounding the letters and finding the meaning of the words With practice he stumbles less and less reading by the phrase 短语 With automaticity he doesn t have to think about the meaning of words so he can give all his attention

grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others but also got better results in exams According to Rossman the key to automaticity is the amount 数量 of time a child spends reading not his IQ Any child who spends at least 3 5 to 4 hours a week reading books magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity It can happen if a child turns off TV just one 第 11 页 共 19 页 night for
