60、。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 mining text, and awful at video
61、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 understand precisely how babies or ad
62、ults, 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 playing thousands of games against i
63、tself at a super speed, and learning from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones.

64、actice 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 misguided to measure machine intelligen
65、ce 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 fulfill any task of a similar dif
66、ficulty.” 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 learn from so few examples.Josh Ten
67、enbaum, 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 world populated by simple geom
68、etrical (几何形的) people.

(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力，所以划线单词“eclipsing”的意思是“超过，胜过”
73、，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。33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.

C【解析】本文是议论文。文章通过举例说明了如何应付对于演讲的紧张情绪，以及适度紧张对演讲的益处。【35题详解】上文“Most people admit extreme nervousness at even the thought of giving a speech.”说明大多数人都认为一想到要演讲就感到极度紧张，空格处承上启下，下文
84、“Through speaking, we gain the power to share what we are thinking with others.(通过演讲，我们获得了与他人分享我们所想的东西的力量)”说明了演讲的重要性。由此可知，E项“但是你必须学会应付紧张，因为演讲很重要。”承上启下，符合文意。且E项中的“nervousness”与上文一致，“speaking”与下文一致。故选E项。【36题详解】下文“Some people tremble, sweat, and experience shortness of breath and increased heartbeat.(有
85、些人会发抖，出汗，呼吸急促，心跳加快)”介绍了一部分人紧张时的表现。段末“And they still go on to deliver a strong speech.(而且他们还会继续发表强有力的演讲)”又介绍了另一类人紧张时候的表现，这说明人与人之间的紧张程度是不同的。D项“人与人之间紧张表现的不同是一个程度的问题。”符合文意。故选D项。【37题详解】上文“Some people tremble, sweat, and experience shortness of breath and increased heartbeat.

87、deliver a strong speech.(而且他们还会继续发表强有力的演讲)”说明设空处介绍了另一类人在应对紧张时的表现。F项“然而，另一些人可能会感到胃里七上八下，膝盖发软。”承上启下，符合文意。故选F项。【38题详解】下文“Why? Because you must be a little more aroused than usual to do your best. A bit of nervousness gets the adrenaline flowing and that brings you to speaking readiness.(为什么？因为你必须比平时更兴奋
88、一点才能做到最好。一点点紧张会让肾上腺素分泌，这会让你准备好说话)”说明了适度紧张的必要性。又通过文中的“Why?”得知下文是为了解释设空处提出的论点，B项“事实上，如果你不紧张的话是有害的。”符合文意。故选B项。【39题详解】上文“She was amazed when other students said to her, “You seem so calm when you speak.”(当其他学生对她说：“你讲话的时候看起来很平静”时，她很惊讶)”说明学生的反馈与她的心理预期不同，空格处承上启下，下文“Once you realize that your audience does
89、not perceive your nervousness to the degree that you imagine, you will remove one unnecessary source of anxiety.(一旦你成功了意识到你的听众并没有像你想象的那样感觉到你的紧张，你将消除一个不必要的焦虑来源)”说明了演讲后获得反馈的重要性。C项“试着在演讲后从听众那里得到反馈。”符合本段观点。故选C项。第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）第一节 阅读表达（共4小题；第1、2题各2分，第3题3分，第4题5分，共12分）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题Fashions Melt Down
90、Throwaway culture is trashing the planet-but one young chemical engineer has her own way to turn it overFast fashion has changed the way we dressWe buy more clothes, more often-but we wear them lessAlina Bassi, founder of Kleiderly, wants to give our clothing waste another chance at a useful lifeBas

99、e different products 43. 略【解析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了如何将时尚产业转换成可以重复利用，减少污染的环保产业。【40题详解】考查细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Instead, she poured her efforts into tackling a much bigger global polluter: the fashion industry（相反，她致力于解决一个更大的全球污染源：时尚产业。）”可知Bassi把重点转向时装业是因为它是一个更大的全球污染源。故答案为Because its a much bigger global polluter【41题详解】
100、考查词句猜测题。根据“According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, we produce 100 billion items of clothing per year, and this is set to double by 2050But they dont last long enough to offset（抵消）the carbon cost of producing the material, creating the clothes, and then shipping them to customers”根据埃伦麦克阿瑟基金会（Ell
101、en MacArthur Foundation）的数据，我们每年生产1000亿件服装，预计到2050年将翻一番。但它们的持续时间不足以抵消生产这种材料、制造这些服装，然后再将它们运到客户手中的碳成本。所以对于如此短暂的东西，我们产生如此高的碳足迹，这毫无意义。故答案为“Theres no point in paying such a high carbon cost for products that dont last long”或“We produce much CO2 while making and shipping clothesWe throw them away shortly
102、after we buy themIts not right”【42题详解】考查细节理解。根据文章第五段“This new plastic can then be used by manufacturers in their existing machines, so that your old T-shirts and jeans will become different products instead of clothes, such as clothing hangers, or even furniture（这种新塑料可供制造商在现有的机器中使用，这样你的旧T恤和牛仔裤将成为不同的
103、产品，而不是衣服，比如衣架，甚至家具。）”可知“克莱德利可以把旧的夹克和裤子变成新的材料，用来制造更多的衣服”中。 “more clothing”是错误的。故答案为Kleiderly can change old jackets and trousers into a new material, which can be used to make more clothing【43题详解】考查开放性试题。我认为为了环保，我们在日常生活中最好少使用一次性用品，例如塑料袋，一次性筷子，一次性纸杯等等。故参考答案为Some people in order to covet convenient, wi

So, for the sake of our health, health for our children and grandchildren, we shouldnt continue to use disposable goods.第二节（20分）44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华你的英国笔友Jim来邮件，询问你如何利用博物馆资源促进学习请你给Jim回一封电子邮件，
