33、on is a key feature of consciousness.He believes that integrated information cant be broken down into smaller pieces in conscious minds,because the brain contextualizes(将融入背景) information.For example,when we see a red circle our brains dont see the shape as a colourless circle plus a shapeless colou
34、red area,New Scientist reported.Instead we see it as a wholea red circle;we understand the “wider picture”.Its easy enough for machines to edit a collection of individual images,but memories are made up of a bank of intertwined (相互交织的) images and experiences and cannot be changed in the same way.Res
35、earchers have used mathematics to show that computers cannot handle the complex processes needed to fit pieces of information together perfectly.Therefore,if consciousness is based on the integration of lots of pieces of information,computers cant be conscious and cant experience emotions like human
36、s.Professor Phil Maguire of the National University of Ireland in Maynooth says that consciousness cannot be created in a physical machine in limited time using limited memory.“It doesnt necessarily mean that there is some magic going on in the brain that involves some forces that cant be explained
37、physically.It is just so complex that its beyond our abilities to change it,” he said.His research may mean that lonely humans will not find love with a robot;they are unlikely to be made their slaves either.【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了机器人是永远不会有感情的。12.Why do experts think emotional machines wont exist?A.Mac
38、hines cant solve problems.B.Machines cant handle information.C.Machines cant integrate information.D.Machines cant communicate with people.答案C解析细节理解题。由第三段中的“computers cant handle any process that completely integrates information.”和第四段中的“the ability to integrate information is a key feature of consc
39、iousness.”可知,计算机没有整合信息的能力,所以没有意识。13.The example mentioned in Paragraph 6 is used to show .A.machines cannot feelB.the brain has consciousnessC.the brain can contextualize informationD.machines can recognize shapes and colours答案C解析细节理解题。由第五、六段的描述可知,大脑可以整合信息,第六段通过举例来说明这一论点。14.What can be learned from
40、the text?A.Machines can edit intertwined images.B.The idea of robot lovers wont come true.C.Robots can fit pieces of information together perfectly.D.Computers can experience emotions like humans one day.答案B解析推理判断题。由最后一段可知,人类不可能找到机器人的爱人。15.What would be the best title for the text?A.How Robots WorkB
41、.Robots Will Never Have FeelingsC.Will Robots Become Peoples Friends?D.What Will Robots Be Like in the Future?答案B解析主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了数学模型表明机器人不会像人类一样有情感体验,机器人是永远不会有感情的,故B项作为标题最能概括文章主旨。.七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Healthy Habits that StickHere are five rules that helped m
