The defeat of Lee Sedol, the world’s strongest Go (围棋) 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 (铲车). They have no feelings. What they have is power, but this power is growing at a rate that should frighten us all.
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 (以金钱来衡量的) 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 (自动化). And robots will never need pensions. AI is slowly reducing skilled work, like some forms of medical diagnosis (诊断), 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.
1.By mentioning the defeat of Lee Sedol, the author intends to tell us that ______.
A. computers 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
D. AI programs can not compare with humans economically
2. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the power of computers will ______.
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
3.What does “artificial stupidity” in Paragragh 3 mean?
A. Unskilled workers become stupid.
B. AI discourages skilled work.
C. Computers don’t need pensions.
D. AI is ruining medical training.
4. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of artificial intelligence?
A. Optimistic. B. Supportive. C. Sceptical. D. Cautious.

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Your smart phone may have hurt you before you realize it. Don’t be addicted to it. Put your phone away, OK?
Cyber(网络) Sickness
Also called “digital motion sickness”, symptoms that range from headaches to woozy(头昏眼花的) feelings can occur when you quickly scroll on your smart phone or watch action-packed video on your screen.1.Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness.
Text Claw
It is the unofficial term for soreness and muscle contraction(收缩) felt in the fingers, wrist and forearm after heavy smart phone use. 2.So if you’re always on your phone, it makes sense to feel discomfort in your hands and forearms.
Eye Strain(疲劳)
Do you stare at a screen for hours on end? If you’re reading this, you very well might. 3.Staring at your digital devices for a long time can lead to dry eyes, headaches and tiredness, which can decrease your productivity. Experts suggest taking screen breaks every 20 minutes.
Text Neck
Similar to the claw, text neck—discomfort in the neck and spine—happens when you spend a long time looking down at your smart phone. 4.Being mindful of how far your neck bends when you’re on your phone—and bending it back to an upright position—can help reduce the risk of text neck.
Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrian deaths are on the rise because too many smart phone users engage in distracted walking. While focused on the cyber world, many of us can lose reality of the physical one. Elemental pedestrian safety knowledge is compromised by technology, and the risks are scary. 5.
A. We should taking breaks for a walk.
B. The sensation results from a mismatch between sensory inputs.
C. Remember that pedestrian(行人) safety is more important than smart phone.
