Question

【题目】阅读短文，从所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。

Artificial intelligence( 人工智能) is the ability of a computer or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence " over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.

An unusual goal of AI research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems and think logically( 合乎逻辑地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize( 识别) human faces, operate self-driving cars and compete in some game systems like playing chess. However, some people consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.

Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We need not only bright students but average(普通的) students. As for average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.

Scientists hope to create creative and emotional(有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.

【2】C

【3】C

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】

本文主要谈论人工智能。

【1】细节题。根据第1段第2句“The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn.”可知“有人工智能的机器可以思考和学习。”故选B。

【2】细节题。根据第4段第1句“Scientists hope to create creative and emotional(有情感的) AI.” 根据这篇文章，人工智能现在还不能理解人类的感情；故选C。

【3】词意猜测题。此句“However, some people consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly.”句意是：然而，有些人认为如果人工智能发展得太快，它对人类是一种危险。根据句意可知it指代的是人工智能；故选C。

【4】细节题。根据第3段第1句“If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. ”和最后1句“Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.”可知如果学生想成为成功的人工智能设计师，他们应该学好数学和计算机科学；故选C。

【5】细节题。根据第4段第1句“Scientists hope to create creative and emotional(有情感的) AI.”也是本段的主题句，可知第四段主要讲述了科学家们对人工智能的愿望。故选A。

词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，所猜测词汇可以是生词，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是人称代词的指代内容。词义猜测题主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。常见的猜词法有：(1)利用上下文语境。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。 (2)利用定义或解释性的线索。阅读文章中的有些生词往往在其后会有对该词进行解释说明的短语或句子，利用它们猜词义较容易 (3)利用文章的逻辑关系答题。如并列、对比、因果、转折关系等。这些逻辑关系往往通过一些相应的词或短语表达出来，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用构词法知识答题。熟记一些前缀、后缀所表达的意思，不仅可以扩大词汇量，而且帮助我们猜测词义。第3小题的词义猜测题就是利用第1种解题方法。
