Question

【题目】 【1】 Artificial Intelligence (人工智能), or AI in short, is the science of giving computers and machines ability to think and work like humans. AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies.

AI is getting close to the human ability to read faces. As a result, facial recognition (面部识别) is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to find criminals. They even caught six criminals on a famous singer’s concerts in six different cities. 【2】

AI is also used in self-driving cars. Carmakers are testing a light signal system to help them “speak” to humans. The system can tell passers-by (行人) that the car is about to speed up. It seemed that it can soon take the place of a real person. 【3】

【4】 Service Robots can show you how powerful AI is. Imagine this—you come back from school and your robot house keeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner, he teaches you to play the piano just like a real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real world. In the future, more and more service robots will become good home helpers.

AI is so powerful that it can help people and even replace us in many fields. 【5】

A. Do we still need to learn how to drive?

B. In a way it is helpful for the police to get bad guys.

C. Do you know what Artificial Intelligence is?

D. AI age is coming, are you ready for it?

E. Have you ever wished to have a robot?

【解析】

你知道什么是AI吗？人工智能现在已经在很多领域应用，例如面部识别、无人驾驶车。想象一下如果将来家里都有一个机器人，将会发生什么。不管怎么说，人工智能的时代已经来临，你准备好了吗？

【1】文章开头应起到引出下文的作用，第一段主要介绍什么是AI。C选项意为“你知道什么是AI？”，引出下文对AI的介绍。故选C。

【2】第二段介绍AI在面部识别中的应用，根据空前“They even caught six criminals on a famous singer’s concerts in six different cities.”可知此句与AI在抓罪犯上的应用，与B选项“在某种程度上，这对警察抓坏人是有帮助的”，相符合，并且是总结性的语句。故选B。

【3】根据“It seemed that it can soon take the place of a real person.”可知本段主要介绍AI在无人驾驶汽车方面的应用，A选项意为“我们仍需要学习怎么驾驶吗”，与本段相符合。故选A。

【4】根据“Imagine this—you come back from school and your robot house keeper is waiting for you at the door.”可知本段是想象如果家里有一个机器人会怎样，E选项意为“你曾经希望有一个机器人吗”，正好放到段首，引出下面对机器人的想象。故选E。

【5】根据“AI is so powerful that it can help people and even replace us in many fields.”可知最后一段起到总结全文的作用，D选项意为“AI时代就要来了，你准备好了吗”，放在全文最后，引起读者共鸣。故选D。
