【题目】Directions：Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述人工智能领域刚刚达到了一个巨大的里程碑：由谷歌旗下DeepMind开发的程序AlphaGo在韩国首尔举行的五场历史性比赛中的第一场中击败了传奇围棋选手Lee Se-dol。

【1】考查动词。句意：Lee在大约三个半小时后认输，此时他的时间还剩28分28秒。空中缺少的是谓语，应用动词，根据下文可知，空中缺少的意思为“认输”，故填B项。

【2】考查动词。句意：这是职业9段围棋选手第一次在电脑上进行比赛，Lee正在争夺100万美元的奖金。空中缺少的是谓语的一部分，应用动词，根据上文所说的比赛，可推断为“竞争，争夺”，故填D项。

【3】考查名词。句意：DeepMind创始人Demis Hassabis表达了“对李及其惊人技能的巨大敬意”，称这款游戏“非常刺激”和“非常紧张”。空中缺少的词做expressed的宾语，应用名词，根据上下文的语境，可推断为“尊重”，故填A项。

【4】考查名词。句意：领队David Silver表示，这是一场“把AlphaGo推向极限的精彩围棋”。空中缺少的词做介词to的宾语，应用名词，根据上下文的语境，可推断为“极限”，故填H项。

【5】考查名词。句意：围棋是一种古老的中国棋类游戏，长期以来一直被认为是人工智能面临的最大挑战之一。空中的词作of的宾语，可知为名词，再根据下文文意，可推断空中的词意为“挑战”，故填C项。

【6】考查名词。句意：虽然计算机程序在国际象棋和跳棋等游戏中比世界领先的人类棋手更胜一筹，但围棋所要求的高水平直觉和评估能力，使计算机很难破解。空中的词和intuition共同作介词of的宾语，应用名词，根据句意，意为“评估”，故填I项。

【7】考查形容词。句意：DeepMind的AlphaGo程序是迄今为止最先进的成果，它使用了深度神经网络和机器学习的复杂系统。用the most修饰，并作is的表语，可知为形容词，意为“先进的”，故填F项。

【8】考查形容词。句意：它去年击败了欧洲冠军Fan Hui，但Lee Se-dol是另一个完全难对付的对手。空中的词用来修饰rival，应用形容词，根据句意，意为“难对付的”，故填G项。

【9】考查名词。句意：我想我在开局设计上失败了，所以如果我在开局方面做得更好，我想我就能增加获胜的可能性。空中的词作increase的宾语，应用名词，根据句意，意为“可能性”，故填J项。

【10】考查形容词。句意：Lee对AlphaGo开局的强劲势头以及一些出人意料的举动感到惊讶。空中的词用来修饰moves，应用形容词，根据句意，意为“出人意料的”，故填E项。
