18、onsidered truly comforting, which earns it the Readers Choice award(Weleda的唇膏得到了顾客的最高评价，被认为是“真正的安慰”，这使它赢得了读者的选择奖)”可知，“Makes Sense”和“Moisture Miracle”共同点是B项“They have won awards(他们获奖了)”符合题意。故选B项。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据“Lipid for Lips”标题下“Its plastic-free and handmade in small batches in Scotland with natural(
19、它不含塑料，在苏格兰小批量手工制作)”可知，唇脂的特点是手工制作。因此，唇脂特别之处是C项“It is handmade in small quantities(这是小批量手工制作的)”符合题意。故选C项。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据文章，几种唇膏的价格分别是“4 each, soapnuts.co.uk,3.90 each, scence.co.uk，4.95 each, weleda.co.uk，6.95 each, pravera.co.uk/shop/fair-squared”，其中，“Makes Sense”的价格是最低：3.90，因此，有预算意识的客户会购买A.项“Makes Se

It calls for close
24、cooperation with all stakeholders (利益相关者). Tom Coen: “not only have we been working together with growers and test centers across the world for the past couple of years, breeders have also been keen on being part of the technological developments. ”In 2014 a team of Belgian engineers started the dev
25、elopment of the robot. In the meanwhile, Octinion wasnt the only company presenting a concept. Product Manager Laura Guillaume says its not a surprise that the company from Leuven is the first to actually present a commercial product: “by developing the robot from the beginning, we are able to make
26、it practical in greenhouses or tunnels.” Octinion plans on launching harvesting robots for other crops in the upcoming years.4. What can we know about the robot?A.

30、r shortage in the agricultural industry, but also allows growers to increase the quality of its produce which in the end benefits the consumer.”（比利时的这一创新不仅解决了农业劳动力短缺的问题，也让种植者提高了产品的质量，最终使消费者受益）可知这款机器人可以帮助解决劳动力短缺的问题。故选A。【5题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段But for Octinion the focus is clearly on adding quality. “Thanks
31、to robotics, we have so many possibilities, much more than a human could ever do. Harvest prediction, picking according to market needs, simply picking when the berries are ripe instead of when workers are available these are just a few examples of what is possible now for a grower,” says Tom Coen,
32、CEO of the Octinion Technology Group. “The consumer will also notice the difference, as strawberries will be fresher and show less bruising.”（ 但对于Octinion来说，重点显然是提高质量。“多亏了机器人技术，我们有了如此多的可能性，远远超出了人类所能做到的。收成预测，根据市场需求采摘，只是在浆果成熟时采摘，而不是在有工人时采摘这些只是种植者现在可能实现的几个例子，”Octinion技术集团的首席执行官汤姆科恩说。“消费者也会注意到不同，因为草莓会更新
33、鲜，更少擦伤。”）可知第二段主要讲了机器人采摘的诸多优点。故选B。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Octinion plans on launching harvesting robots for other crops in the upcoming years.”（Octinion计划在未来几年推出其他农作物的收割机器人）可推知，科学家正在研发各种收割机器人，即各种收割机器人正在路上。故选D。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“A robot navigates through the strawberries, detecting ripe ones, picking withou

36、ork schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids arent even on At this
37、 point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, Ill do it.”Im secretly relieved because I know theres real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the
38、way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still, m
39、ost of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteerin
40、g just feels so good.In that sense, Im pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than Id freely like to admit. However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?8. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragrap
41、h l？A. She knows little about the club.B. She isnt good at sports.C. She just doesnt want to volunteer.D. Shes unable to meet her schedule.9. What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Encourage teamwork.B. Appeal to feelings.C. Promote good deeds.D. Provide adv

Why does the author like doing volunteer work?A It gives her a sense of duty.B. It makes her very happy.C. It e
43、nables her to work hard.D. It brings her material rewards.【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文中讲述了作者成功说服了一个家长参加志愿者团队，并且这位家长后来成为这个团队中有力的帮手，同时作者在参与志愿者活动过程中也获得了很多快乐。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it.可知，这位家长说如果其他人都不愿意做志愿者的工作，她
44、会做这份工作，作者可以把她当作最后的备选，也就是她不愿意做志愿者的工作。故选C。【9题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线前句she may just need a little persuading.和下面的一句话I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids arent even on .可知，作者为了劝服这位家长，举了两个例子。故可知，划线句此处应是“煽情”之意。故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中这位家长作
45、出的贡献及the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.可知，她最终成为了志愿者队伍中的重要的一员，也即是说，她成了一个好帮手。故选D。【11题详解】细节理解题。题干问作者为什么喜欢做志愿者工作。根据第四段最后两句Connecting to the community(社区) as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.可知，为社区做贡
46、献可以带来真正的快乐，参加志愿者活动活动能让人感觉快乐。故选B。DElizabeth Spelke, a cognitive (认知的) psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the worlds most complex learning system-the mind of a baby. Babies might seem like no match for artificial intelligence (AI). They are terrible at labeling images, hopeless at m
47、ining text, and awful at video games. Then again, babies can do things beyond the reach of any AI. By just a few months old, theyve begun to grasp the foundations of language, such as grammar. Theyve started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.Yet even experts like Spelke dont unders
48、tand precisely how babies or adults, for that matter learn. That gap points to a puzzle at the heart of modern artificial intelligence: Were not sure what to aim for. Consider one of the most impressive examples of AI, Alpha Zero, a programme that plays board games with superhuman skill. After playi
49、ng thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones. It certainly seems like a machine eclipsing human cognitive abilities. But Alpha Zero needs to play millions mor
50、e games than a person during practice to learn a game. Most importantly, it cannot take what it has learned from the game and apply it to another area.To some AI experts, that calls for a new approach. In a November research paper, Francois Chollet, a well-known AI engineer, argued that its misguide
51、d to measure machine intelligence just according to its skills at specific tasks. “Humans dont start out with skills; they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills,” he says. “What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess, but the potential to fu
52、lfill any task of a similar difficulty.” Chollet posed a set of problems, each of which requires an AI programme to arrange colored squares on a grid (格栅) based on just a few prior examples. Its not hard for a person. But modern machine-learning programmes-trained on huge amounts of data cannot lear
53、n from so few examples.Josh Tenenbaum, a professor in MITs Center for Brains, Minds & Machines, works closely with Spelke and uses insights from cognitive science as inspiration for his programmes. He says much of modern AI misses the bigger picture, comparing it to a cartoon about a two-dimensional
54、 world populated by simple geometrical (几何形的) people. AI programmes will need to learn in new ways for example, by drawing causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. “At some point you know, if youre intelligent you realize maybe theres something else out there,” he says. 12. Compared to
55、 an advanced AI programme, a baby might be better at _.A. labeling imagesB. identifying locationsC playing gamesD. making adjustments13. What does the underlined word “eclipsing” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Stimulating.B. Measuring.C. Beating.D. Limiting.14. Both Francois Chollet and Josh Tenenb
56、aum may agree that _.A. AI is good at finding similar patternsB. AI should gain abilities with less trainingC. AI lacks the ability of generalizing a skillD. AI will match humans in cognitive ability15. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. What is exactly intelligence?B. Why is modern A
57、I advanced?C. Where is human intelligence going?D. How do humans tackle the challenge of AI?【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过比较人工智能和人类的智能，想要告诉我们什么是真正的智力。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Theyve started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.( 他们开始懂得如何适应陌生的环境)”可知，与高级人工智能程序相比，婴儿可能更善于做出调整。故选D。【
58、13题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线单词前一句“After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones. (在以超快的速度与自己对弈数千场，并从获胜位置中学习之后，阿尔法零独立地发现了几种著名的国际象棋策略，甚至发明了新的策略)”可推知，阿尔法零超越了人类的认知能
59、力，所以划线单词“eclipsing”的意思是“超过，胜过”，划线句意是：它看起来确实像是一台超越人类认知能力的机器。故选C。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess, but the potential to fulfill any task of a similar difficulty. (一位强大的人类棋手展示的不仅是下棋的能力，还有完成任何类似难度任务的潜力)”和最后一段“AI programmes w
60、ill need to learn in new ways for example, by drawing causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. (人工智能程序将需要以新的方式学习例如，通过得出因果推论，而不是简单地寻找模式)”可推知，Francois Chollet 和Josh Tenenbaum可能同意人工智能缺乏一种技能的泛化能力。故选C。【15题详解】主旨大意题。阅读文章，并根据第二段“Yet even experts like Spelke dont understand precisely how babies
61、 or adults, for that matter learn. That gap points to a puzzle at the heart of modern artificial intelligence: Were not sure what to aim for. (然而，即使是像斯皮尔克这样的专家也不能确切地理解婴儿或成人是如何学习的。这一差距指向了现代人工智能的一个核心难题:我们不确定该以什么为目标)”可知，本文讲述了所谓真正的智力到底是什么。故选A。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项
