49、he cutin was such a grand strategy that today youll still find it across the plant kingdom.

60、项技术。故选D项。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 a
61、t 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 understand precisely how babi
62、es 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 playing thousands of games a
63、gainst 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 more games than a person d
64、uring 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 misguided to measure machine in
65、telligence 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 sim
66、ilar 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 learn from so few examples.
67、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 world populated by sim
68、ple 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. 31. Compared to an advanced AI program

70、. 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 ability34. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. What is exactly intelligence?B. Why is modern AI advanced?C. Where is
71、 human intelligence going?D. How do humans tackle the challenge of AI?【答案】31. D 32. C 33. C 34. 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。【31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。【32题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线单词前一句“
72、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力，所以划线单词“eclipsing”的意思
73、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。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. (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 will need to learn in ne
74、w 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。【34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 or adults, for that ma
75、tter 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分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项选项中有两项为多余选项Most people admit extre

100、r【41题详解】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
101、瑟基金会（Ellen 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
