Question

16．The defeat of Lee Sedol，the world's strongest Go （圍棋） player，by a Google artificial intelligence （AI） program，looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can．It is not．There are uncountable things that only a human can do，and that no computer seems close to．The problem is that the purely human things are not economically useful to anyone．The things that computers can be taught to do are by contrast economically fantastic．But even the most powerful programs are not human，just as a shovel （鏟車）．They have no feelings．What they have is power，but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us a ll．
It might be less frightening if computers were truly intelligent，but even the most powerful networks are less human than monstrous Martians （火星人）．Their power will be used to make money for the firms that finance their development，and then for others quick and clever enough to take advantage of the new world．It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass （以金錢來衡量的） society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted．
One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is，at the same time，the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity．If AI is employed largely to replace unskilled labour，it is most productive when labour is kept unskilled or redefined that way．So much of the work in service industries is now simplified until it might be automated （自動化）．And robots will never need pensions．AI is slowly reducing skilled work，like some forms of medical diagnosis （診斷），at the same time，as older doctors complain that the traditional human skills of diagnosis are falling out of medical training．The belief that everything worthwhile can be measured and then managed is far more damaging to humanity than the threat of artificial intelligence on its own．
But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers．

A．comput ers can completely replace humans in everything
B．humans are of no practical economic values to the society
C．the power of computers is growing at a frightening rate

63．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers willD．
A．improve the quality of human life
B．promote equality at work places
C．make contributions to human development
D．widen the gap between the rich and the poor
64．What does"artificial stupidity"in Paragragh 3 mean？B
A．Unskilled workers become stupid．
B．AI discourages skilled work．
C．Computers don't need pensions．
D．AI is ruining medical training．
65．What is the author's attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence？C

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于科技文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了人工智能，人們認為世界上的電腦幾乎可以做任何事，但事實卻不是這樣，因此作者告訴我們要正確的看待人工智能．

解答 62．C  細節(jié)理解題，根據第一段The defeat of Lee Sedol，the world's strongest Go （圍棋） player，by a Google artificial intelligence （AI） program，looks like another milestone towards a world where computers can do almost anything a human can．It is not．可知作者提到Lee Sedol的失敗是要告訴我們計算機的力量正以驚人的速度增長著，故選C．
63．D  推理判斷題，根據第二段It is far more likely that they will increase inequality and still further remove the middle classes as we move towards an hourglass （以金錢來衡量的） society in which everyone is either very rich or very poor and likely indebted．可知學習計算機的力量會擴大富人和窮人之間的差距，故選D．
64．B  詞義猜測題，根據第三段One of the ill effects of the spread of more intelligent computer networks is，at the same time，the spread of what might be called artificial stupidity．可知更智能的計算機網絡的傳播的不良影響之一是在同一時間傳播可能被稱為人工愚蠢，故選B．
65．C  細節(jié)理解題，根據最后一段But no victory in complicated Go games can bring us closer to truly human-like computers．可知作者對人工智能的未來的態(tài)度是保持懷疑的，故選C．

點評 考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
