B.Supportive.C.Skeptical. D.Indifferent.【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Feedbackismixed...ecosystemwewant?(SakanaAI的输出反馈是混合的。一些人将其描述为产生‘无尽的科学垃圾’。即使是系统自己对其产出的审查,也会判断这些论文充其量是薄弱的。随着技术的发展,这种情况可能会有所改善,但自动化的科学论文是否有价值的问题仍然存在。这就是我们想要的科学生态系统吗)”可知,作者认为自动化的科学论文价值问题有待判断,因此,作者对于人工智能科学生态系统持有怀疑态度。故选C。B(2025·武汉模拟)YoumightnotthinkthatanAIcapableofmakingmusicwouldstimulateyouremotion,butothersthinkdifferently,particularlythosewhogatheredatMexicoCity’sSymphonyHallin2019forSchubert’s

第二段是关于观众对人工智能交响曲的反应。这道题目考查读者对观众对交响乐反应的理解6.Whatmighttheauthoragreewith?第四段是关于音乐和情感的主观性。这道题目考查读者对作者观点的理解7.Whatdoestheword“maneuvered”underlinedinParagraph6mostprobablymean?第六段是关于人们对人工智能和情绪操纵的真正的担心。这道题目考查读者对文中画线单词的理解8.Whichwouldbethebesttitleforthepassage?全文尤其是第三段论述了作者对于音乐中情感的看法。这道题目考查读者对整篇文章主旨的理解5.Theaudiencereactedstronglytothesymphonymainlydueto

.

A.theirdoubtsaboutAI’scapabilitiesB.theiruneasinessaboutAI’sinfluenceC.theorchestra’sbrilliantpresentationofAImusicD.thelikenessbetweenAImusicandtheoriginalwork【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第二段(当管弦乐队演奏完舒伯特的原创作品,开始演奏人工智能和我共同创作的音乐时,我能感觉到观众的情绪从惊讶转变为愤怒和恐惧。他们似乎担心人工智能可能会创作出充满情感的交响乐。你可以看到他们的观点:一个制作情感音乐的人工智能可以以一种微小但深刻的方式影响数千甚至数百万人的情感生活,就像一个人类音乐家一样。)可知,观众对交响曲反应强烈主要是因为对人工智能的影响感到不安。故选B。6.Whatmighttheauthoragreewith?A.AIposeslittleimpactonpeople’semotions.B.Musicbearsnointendedemotionalmeaning.C.AImusicwilloutperformhuman-mademusic.D.Thecontextreflectspeople’sinterpretationofmusic.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第四段“AI,asofyet,hasnoemotions...whatitmeans.(到目前为止,人工智能还没有情感。那么,没有情感作曲家的音乐有什么意义呢?令人不满意的答案是,音乐没有客观意义。作曲家可以决定一段音乐的声音,但听众可以决定它的意义。)”可知,作者可能会同意音乐没有预期的情感含义。故选B。7.Whatdoestheword“maneuvered”underlinedinParagraph6mostprobablymean?A.Refreshed.

B.Challenged.C.Revealed. D.Directed.【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据第二段“Youcanseetheirpoint:anAIthatmakesemotionalmusiccouldaffecttheemotionallivesofthousandsorevenmillionsofpeopleinasmall,butprofoundway,justlikeahumanmusiciandoes.(你可以看到他们的观点:一个制作情感音乐的人工智能可以以一种微小但深刻的方式影响数千甚至数百万人的情感生活,就像一个人类音乐家一样。)”以及画线词上文“Aremyemotionssosimplethattheycanbe”和后文“byamachine”可知,人工智能制作的音乐可以影响数千甚至数百万人的情感生活,所以大多数人不敢问的问题是:我的情绪是否简单到可以被机器操纵?故画线词意思是“操纵”,与D选项Directed“指示,指导”意思最接近。故选D。8.Whichwouldbethebesttitleforthepassage?A.AreComposersToBeReplaced?B.WouldAIMusicBeaRisingTrend?C.CouldAIMakeMusicThatMovesYou?D.WastheUnfinishedSymphonySuccessful?【解析】选C。主旨大意题。根据第三段“Positiveandnegative,peoplereacted...theUnfinished

Symphony.(不管是正面还是负面,人们对AI的交响乐首演反应非常强烈。尽管大多数人不相信人工智能可以创造出令人愉快的东西,但他们(至少在一定程度上)确实喜欢《未完成的交响曲》)”并结合文章主要讨论了人工智能是否能创作出富含情感的音乐的问题,论述了作者对于音乐中情感的看法。可知,C选项“人工智能能做出打动你的音乐吗?”最符合文章标题。故选C。Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)(2024·湖南模拟)Floodscancomefrommultiplesources.Itcanbeahurricane,faileddam,oroverflowingriver.Thedisasterscanmovequickly.
