77、 also known as news literacy, is the ability to use critical thinking skills to recognize differences between real and “fake” news.”及第二段中的“Its goal is to give students a set of effective tools to “enable them to make informed decisions”.”可知，加州通过的新法律主要是为了给学生一套有效的工具来“使他们能够做出明智的决定”识别真假新闻的区别，故A项正确。【37题详
78、解】推理判断题。根据第三段“The media literacy efforts were based on a Stanford University study from 2016. It found that 80 percent of U.S. middle school students failed to recognize an advertisement that looked like a real news story. The researchers also found that high school students had trouble telling the
79、difference between a real and a fake news website.”可知，培养学生的媒体意识的工作基于斯坦福大学2016年的一项研究，因为该研究发现，80%的美国中学生不能识别一则看起来像真实新闻的广告，研究人员还发现，高中生很难区分真假新闻网站，因此作者提到斯坦福大学的研究就是为了展示加州通过这项新法律背后的原因，故C项正确。【38题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“One way to do this is for students to ask a series of questions. One example is, “What is the o
80、verall mission of the organization?”可知，一种方法是让学生问一系列的问题，比如，该机构的总体任务是什么，也就是说卡罗琳艾迪建议学生了解该新闻机构的背景信息来判断它的可信度，故C项正确。【39题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“A growing number of American states are requiring schools to teach students “media literacy” skills.”可知，在美国，越来越多的州要求学校培养学生的媒体意识能够识别假新闻，这说明现在美国越来越重视对学生的媒体意识的培养，由此
81、可知，在美国，媒体意识越来越被认为对学生至关重要，故D项正确。(B)PAssionArts FestivalPAssionArts Festival this year will run from 6 July to 25 August, bringing community arts to 250,000 residents across Singapore.

And the program can do it so well that people cant tell the difference.The findings, published in the journal Science, represent a
94、major step forward in developing more powerful computer programs that learn in the ways that humans do.Although computers are excellent at storing and processing data, theyre less-than-stellar students.

96、pacities remains vast,” Tenenbaum said. “We want to close that gap, and thats our long-term goal.”Now, Tenenbaum and his colleagues have managed to build a different kind of machine learning algorithm ( 算 法 )one that, like humans, can learn a simple concept from very few examples and can even apply
97、it in new ways. The researchers tested the model on human handwriting, which can vary sharply from person to person, even when each produces the exact same character.The scientists built an algorithm with an approach called Bayesian program learning, or BPL, a probability-based program. This algorit

In a one-shot classification challenge, people were quite good at it, with an avera

The scientists also challenged the program and some human participants to draw new versions of various characters they presented. They then had human judges determine which ones were made by
100、man and which were made by machine. As it turned out, the humans were barely as good as chance at figuring out which set of characters was machine-produced and which was created by humans.The findings could be used to improve a variety of technologies in the near term, including for other symbol-bas
