You may have a house robot that can do housework for you. But is it so smart? Meet Laura, a robot in the National Library in Madrid, Spain, copying out the old books and writings in its collection. See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8-meter-tall legless robot called EveR 6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance.
Those robots above require artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能). AI is a computer system that can understand languages, make decisions and solve problems. AI can be taught skills using a process called machine learning. Humans give AI information such as books, photos or videos to train it. The more information it studies, the better it can do its job.
▲. For example, when you watch TV, AI is watching you. It'll know what your favorite is and suggest similar ones. In hospitals, AI is very good at suggesting treatments and can even make new medicines. To cut down food waste, some schools introduce online systems for the students to choose meals ahead of time. In cities, AI is used to watch out for cars that make black smoke. It works together with the police and transportation teams to stop them and keep the air clean. AI can help us fight climate change by finding clever ways to reduce energy use.
Some people worry that AI will take away a large number of jobs and also fear that AI could develop out of our control and bring danger to humans. However, AI is expected to be a more powerful production tool that will help humans achieve more in less time. It is believed that the flying car will be made to offer an easier way out of the morning traffic jam(交通堵塞). Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problem of our energy needs completely. Anyway, there is still a long journey for humans and AI.

答案
1. B 图示理解题。根据“See Aurora, a headless dog-sized robot used to keep birds and other animals away at an Alaskan airport. Watch another 1.8-meter-tall legless robot called EveR 6, waving its arms to guide musicians through a performance.”可知,Aurora 是一个无头的狗一般大小的机器人,在阿拉斯加的某个机场用来驱赶鸟类和其他动物;EveR 6 挥舞着手臂引导音乐家完成表演。故选 B。
2. D 补全文章题。根据后面的举例内容可知,此处主要介绍人工智能应用在什么领域,选项 D“人工智能已经成为日常生活的一部分”符合语境。故选 D。
3. D 推理判断题。根据“Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problem of our energy needs completely.”可知,人类想象人工智能甚至可以找到一种完全解决我们能源需求问题的方法。所以未来人工智能有望帮助生产足够的能源。故选 D。
4. C 推理判断题。最后一段主要讲述了有人担忧人工智能带来的问题,但作者认为人工智能在未来有很大的发展,人与人工智能还有很长的路要走,说明作者接下来可能会谈论人类与人工智能相处的方式。故选 C。
2. D 补全文章题。根据后面的举例内容可知,此处主要介绍人工智能应用在什么领域,选项 D“人工智能已经成为日常生活的一部分”符合语境。故选 D。
3. D 推理判断题。根据“Humans imagine AI might even find a way to solve the problem of our energy needs completely.”可知,人类想象人工智能甚至可以找到一种完全解决我们能源需求问题的方法。所以未来人工智能有望帮助生产足够的能源。故选 D。
4. C 推理判断题。最后一段主要讲述了有人担忧人工智能带来的问题,但作者认为人工智能在未来有很大的发展,人与人工智能还有很长的路要走,说明作者接下来可能会谈论人类与人工智能相处的方式。故选 C。
解析
【分析】
