3．B

4．D【導語】本文為說明文。文章主要探討了ALife是否也在不斷地進化的問題。1．推理判斷題。根據第三段“AsmuchasmanyALifershateemphasizingtheirresearch’sapplications,theattemptstocreateartificiallifecouldhavepracticalpayoffs.(盡管許多ALifer討厭強調他們研究的應用，但創造人工生命的嘗試可能會有實際的回報)”可知，作者認為創造人工生命的嘗試是會有回報的；再結合第二段“Sofarnoonehasconvincinglymadeartificiallife.ThistrackrecordmakesALifearipetargetforcriticism,suchasdeclarationsofthefield’sdoubtfulscientificvalue.AlanSmith,acomplexityscientist,istiredofsuchcomplaints.Askingabout“thepoint”ofALifemightbe,well,missingthepointentirely,hesays.“Theexistenceofalivingsystemisnotabouttheuseofanything.”Alansays.“Somepeopleaskme,‘Sowhat’stheworthofartificiallife?’Doyoueverthink,‘Whatistheworthofyourgrandmother?’”(到目前為止，還沒有人能令人信服地制造出人工生命。這一記錄使生命科學成為批評的成熟目標，比如對該領域可疑科學價值的聲明。復雜性科學家艾倫?史密斯厭倦了這樣的抱怨。他說，詢問ALife的“意義”可能完全沒有抓住要點。“一個生命系統的存在與任何東西的使用無關?！盇lan說。“有人問我，‘那么人工生命的價值是什么？’你有沒有想過，‘你祖母的價值是多少？’”)”可推知，因為還沒有人能令人信服地制造出人工生命，才導致使生命科學成為批評（認為其沒有科學價值）的成熟目標，作者認為這是不合理的，所以后文引用了AlanSmith的話語對這種觀點進行反駁，即關于AlanSmith對ALife的辯護，作者表示支持。故選A。2．詞句猜測題。根據劃線詞上文“ArtificialintelligencemaybeconsideredALife’scousininthatresearchersinbothfieldsare

enamored

byaconceptcalledopen-endedevolution(演化).(人工智能可能被認為是ALife的表親，因為這兩個領域的研究人員都被一個叫做開放進化的概念enamored)”可知，人工智能可能被認為是ALife的表親，說明人工智能和ALife二者間有共同之處，可推測是因為這兩個領域的研究人員都被一個叫做開放進化的概念所吸引，所以才有了這種觀點。故劃線詞意為“吸引”。故選C。3．推理判斷題。根據第三段“ArtificialintelligencemaybeconsideredALife’scousininthatresearchersinbothfieldsareenamoredbyaconceptcalledopen-endedevolution(演化).(人工智能可能被認為是ALife的表親，因為這兩個領域的研究人員都被一個叫做開放進化的概念所吸引)”可知，ALife和AI有一個共同的特點。故選B。4．主旨大意題。根據最后一段“Theymayapplyuniversallytoallactsofevolution.UltimatelyALifemaybenothingspecial.Buteventhisdismissalsuggestssomething:perhaps,justlikelifeitselfthroughouttheuniverse,theriseofALifewillproveunavoidable.(它們可能普遍適用于所有進化行為。最終，ALife可能沒有什么特別的。但即使是這種否定也表明了一些事情：也許，就像整個宇宙中的生命本身一樣，ALife的崛起將被證明是不可避免的)”結合文章主要探討了ALife是否也在不斷地進化。D選項“生命在進化。創造ALife的嘗試也能進化嗎？”是最合適的標題。故選D。2.Theintegrationofartificialintelligence(AI)ineducationaltechnology(EdTech)hasbroughtincomparableconvenienceandefficiencytoclassroomsworldwide.However,despitetheseadvancements,itiscrucialtorecognizethechallengestheseAI-driventoolsposetotheautonomyandprofessionaljudgmentofinstructors.Oneofitsprimaryconcernsis

7．A

8．D【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了人工智能與教育技術的融合為世界各地的課堂帶來了無與倫比的便利和效率。然而，盡管取得了這些進步，但認識到這些人工智能驅動的工具對教師的自主性和專業判斷構成的挑戰至關重要。5．詞句猜測題。根據劃線詞下文“Eachstudentpossessesuniquecharacteristics.Instructors,armedwiththeirwealthofexperienceandknowledge,arebestpositionedtotailortheirapproachestotheseindividualneeds.However,AI-driventoolsrestricttheirabilitytodosoeffectively,resultinginaone-size-fits-allapproachthatfailstoinspirestudentstoreachtheirmaximumpotential.(每個學生都有自己獨特的特點。教師擁有豐富的經驗和知識，最適合為這些個人需求量身定制他們的方法。然而，人工智能驅動的工具限制了他們有效地做到這一點的能力，導致一刀切的方法無法激發學生發揮最大潛力)”可知，每個學生都有自己獨特的特點，人工智能采用一刀切的方法無法激發學生發揮最大潛力。由此可知，劃線詞組thedepersonalizationofinstruction(教學的去人格化)指的是Theone-size-fits-allapproach(一刀切的方法)。故選D。6．主旨大意題。根據第三段中的“However,somestudentsemploythisfeatureasameanstomerelycopysolutionswithoutcomprehendingconcepts.Consequently,instancesofcheatingonassignmentsandexamsbecomewidespread.Whilethesetoolsmayofferconvenience,studentsmayuseexternalresourcesorcooperatewithothersduringquizzes,affectingthehonestyoftheirlearningoutcomes.(然而，一些學生利用這一特點作為一種手段，只是復制解決方案，而不理解概念。因此，在作業和考試中作弊的情況變得普遍。雖然這些工具提供了便利，但學生可能會在測試過程中使用外部資源或與他人合作，從而影響他們學習成果的誠實)”可知，第三段主要介紹了另一個問題。故選B。7．推理判斷題。根據第四段中的“Bydecreasingtheroleofinstructorsasfacilitatorsofmeaningfuleducationalinteractions,weruntheriskofpreventingthegrowthofcriticalthinkingandproblem-solvingskillsamongstudents.Educationshouldnotonlyfocusonknowledgeacquisition,butshouldalsodeveloptheabilitytoanalyze,evaluate,andapplythatknowledgeinreal-worldcontexts.Itshouldhelpone’smindgrow,notsimplymemorizeinformation.(通過減少教師作為有意義的教育互動促進者的角色，我們冒著阻礙學生批判性思維和解決問題技能發展的風險。教育不應該只關注知識的獲取，還應該培養分析、評價和在現實環境中應用知識的能力。它應該幫助一個人的思維成長，而不僅僅是記憶信息)”可推知，在人工智能驅動的EdTech教育中，學生在思維能力方面受到的影響最大。故選A。8．推理判斷題。根據最后一段“WhileAI-drivenEdTechtoolsundeniablyhavetheirvirtues,wemustnotlosesightoftheimportanceofpreservinginstructorautonomyandeducationalexperience.Insteadofrelyingonlyonpre-packagedcontentandstandardizedsolutions,thesetoolsshouldbedesignedtoempowerinstructorstoadaptandcustomizetheirapproacheswhiletakingfulladvantageofthebenefitsoftechnology.(雖然人工智能驅動的教育技術工具無可否認有其優點，但我們不能忽視保留教師自主權和教育經驗的重要性。這些工具的設計不應僅僅依賴于預先打包的內容和標準化的解決方案，而應使教師能夠在充分利用技術優勢的同時適應和定制他們的方法)”可推知，人工智能驅動的教育技術工具應該支持教師的自主權。故選D。3.ChatGPT,designedbyOpenAItocarryonconversationsjustlikehumans,hasbecomeaviralexcitement.TheAI-poweredtoolwentfromzerotoamillionusersinjustfivedays!Itsabilitytoprovidein-depthanswerstouserquestionshasevendrawntheattentionofdistinguishedtechnologycompanies.Theintelligentrobotunderstandswhattheusersaysortypesandthenrespondsinawaythatmakessense.Itsvastbodyofknowledgehasbeengatheredfromtheinternetandarchivedbooks.Itisfurthertrainedbyhumans.ThismakesChatGPTausefultoolforresearchingalmostanytopic.“Wehavealotofinformationontheinternet,butyounormallyhavetoGoogleit,thenreaditandthendosomethingwithit,”saysRicardo,chiefscienceofficerandco-founderofAIcompanyErudit.“Nowyou’llhavethisresourcethatcanprocessthewholeinternetandalloftheinformationitcontainsforyoutoansweryourquestion.”ChatGPTcannotthinkonitsown.Itdependsontheinformationthatithasbeentrainedon.Asaresult,theAItoolworkswellforthingsthathaveaccuratedataavailable.However,whenunsure,ChatGPTcangetcreativeandflowoutincorrectresponses.OpenAIcautionsuserstochecktheinformationnomatterhowlogicalitsounds.Also,ChatGPThasonlybeentrainedwithinformationtill2021.Hence,itcannotberelieduponforanythingthathappenedafterthat.ExpertsbelieveChatGPThaslimitlesspotentialtosolvereal-worldproblems.Itcantranslatelongtextsintodifferentlanguages,createcontentonalmostanytopic,andevensummarizebooks.However,ChatGPThasreceivedmixedreactionsfromeducators.Somebelieveitcouldserveasavaluabletooltohelpbuildliteracyskillsintheclassroom.Itcouldalsobeusedtoteachstudentsdifficultscienceormathconcepts.ButothereducatorsthinkChatGPTwillencouragestudentstocheat.Theyfearthiswillpreventthemfrombuildingcriticalthinkingandproblem-solvingskills.Asaresult,manydistrictsarestartingtobanitsuseinschools.9．WhatistheuniquefeatureofChatGPT?A．Ithasartificialintelligence.

15．B

16．C【導語】這是一篇說明文。通過比較人類和計算機算法對圖像識別的可信度實驗，來說明人類和計算機有著互相補充的優勢和劣勢，并提出建議即人類和人工智能要相互合作。13．細節理解題。根據文章第一句“Humansandmachinealgorithmshavecomplementarystrengthsandweaknesses.”（人類和機器算法有互補的優勢和劣勢。）和下文的“humanscanimprovethepredictionsofAIevenwhenhumanaccuracyisbelowthatoftheAI,andviceversa.”（人類可以提高人工智能的預測，即使人類的準確性低于人工智能，反之亦然。）可知，人類和計算機有著互補的優勢和缺點，人類可以提高人工智能的預測，人工智能也可以提高人類的預測，即人類和機器算法應該合作。故選B。14．推理判斷題。根據第二段“Totesttheframework,researchersconductedanimageclassificationexperimentwherehumanparticipantsandcomputeralgorithmsworkedseparatelytocorrectlyidentifydisorderlypicturesofanimalsandeverydayitemsincludingchairs,bottles,bicyclesandtrucks.”（為了測試該框架，研究人員進行了一項圖像分類實驗，其中人類參與者和計算機算法分別工作，正確識別動物和椅子、瓶子、自行車和卡車等日常物品的無序圖片。）和“TheresultsshowedlargedifferencesinconfidencebetweenhumansandAIalgorithmsacrossimages.”（結果顯示，人類和人工智能算法在不同圖像上的可信度存在很大差異。）可知，研究者在實驗過程中是將人類參與者和計算機算法對圖像識別實驗結果進行比較。選用結果作比較的方法闡述實驗。故選A。15．詞義猜測題。根據后文中“howhumansandmachinescancooperatetobuildmoreaccurateartificiallyintelligentsystems,”（人類和機器如何合作構建更精確的人工智能系統）的提示，可知要將“cognitivescience”（認知科學）和“computerscience”（電腦科學）進行結合，才能為未來的人類和機器更好的合作構建精確的人工智能系統；同時根據文章的第一段第一句“Humansandmachinealgorithmshavecomplementarystrengthsandweaknesses.”（人類和機器算法有互補的優勢和劣勢。）可知，要將認知科學和電腦科學進行結合，所以劃線詞的意思是“結合”。故選B。16．主旨大意題。根據文章的第一段第一句“Humansandmachinealgorithmshavecomplementarystrengthsandweaknesses.”（人類和機器算法有互補的優勢和劣勢。），第二、三、四和五段主要講述通過實驗比較并闡述人工和機器在識別圖片可信度方面的各自優缺點，以及最后一段中“howhumansandmachinescancooperatetobuildmoreaccurateartificiallyintelligentsystems,”（人類和機器合作構建更精確的人工智能系統）可知，要將人工和智能進行合作，開發智能人工智能的人機混合模型。故選C。5.CouldthenextErnestHemingwayorJaneAustenbeawell-engineeredAIsoftwareprogram?It’saquestionbecomingincreasinglypressingasmachinelanguage-learningsoftwarecontinuestoevolve.Muchofthisisjustnerves.Today’sAIcreativewritingprogramsarenotyetatastageofdevelopmentwheretheyposeaseriousthreattoColleenHooverorCharlesDickens.ButwhileattentioncontinuestofocusonthepossibilityofablankettakeoverofhumanliteraturebyAI,farlessconsiderationhasbeengiventotheprospectofAIco-workingwithhumans.Earlierthismonth,Americansci-fiwriterKenLiu,whohadbeenawardedHugoandNebulatohisname,joined12otherprofessionalauthorsforawritingworkshoponGoogle’sWordcraft.ThisAItool,alanguagegeneratingmodel,isnotyetpubliclyavailablebutisadvertisedasanAI-poweredwritingassistantthatcan,whengiventherightinstructionfromthewriter,providehelpfuldescriptions,createlistsofobjectsoremotionalstates,andevenbrainstormideas.Thewritersattheworkshop,however,emergedwithmixedreports.“Wordcraftistoosensible.Wow!”RobinSloanwrote.“But‘sensible’isanotherwordforpredictable,overusedandboring.Myintentionhereistoproducesomethingunexpected.”I’munconvincedthatwritersawardedtheNobelPrizehavemuchtofearfromAI.Theirwork,andthatofcountlessothernovelists,shortstorywriters,dramatistsandpoets,istooparticular,toobeautifullyunique.Evenifamodellearnedwhattheyhaddoneinthepast,itwouldnotbeabletopredictwheretheircreativitymighttaketheminthefuture.Butforauthorswhowritefollowingapattern,AImightstepin,firstasassistantsbeforesomedaytoauthorship.Production-linenovelsarenothingnew.Inthe1970s,BarbaraCartland,whowrotemorethan723booksinherlifetime,manyofwhichareromancebestsellers,wouldreadhernovelsforhersecretarytotypeupattheremarkablerateofroughlysevenchaptersaweek.Butalreadymachinehasreplacedthesecretary’srole.Perhapscreativewritingsoftwareisn’tthatfarfromreplacingtheMrs.Cartlandsoftoday.17．WhichaspectofAIcallsformoreattention?A．Itsdamagetoournerves.B．Itsprogressinliterarystudies.C．Itscooperationwithhumans.D．Itsinfluenceonhumanliterature.18．WhatcanwelearnaboutWordcraftfromthetext?A．Itgeneratesnovelsautomatically.B．Itoutperformsprofessionalwriters.C．Itsworksreceivepraisesfromthepublic.D．Itsworksbearsimilaritytoexistingones.19．WhatcanwritersdotoavoidthethreatfromAI?A．Increasewritingspeed.B．Usediverseresources.C．Producecreativeworks.D．Followthelatestpatterns.20．Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleforthetext?A．WillAIReplaceHumanWriters?B．AIWarnsMrs.CartlandsofTodayC．IsWritingRunningintoaNewEra?D．WordcraftLiesattheCenterofDebate【答案】17．C18．D

19．C

20．A【導語】本文是一篇新聞報道，主要講的是本月早些時候，曾獲得雨果獎和星云獎的美國科幻作家KenLiu與其他12位專業作家一起參加了一個谷歌的Wordcraft寫作研討會，這是一款人工智能寫作助手，文章主要探討了人工智能是否會取代人類的作家。17．細節理解題。根據第二段的“ButwhileattentioncontinuestofocusonthepossibilityofablankettakeoverofhumanliteraturebyAI,farlessconsiderationhasbeengiventotheprospectofAlco-workingwithhumans.(但是，當我們繼續關注人工智能全面接管人類文學的可能性時，人們對人工智能與人類合作的前景的考慮要少得多。)”可知，人工智能與人類的合作更值得關注，故選C。18．推理判斷題。根據第四段的““Wordcraftistoosensible.Wow!”RobinSloanwrote.“But‘sensible’isanotherwordforpredictable,overusedandboring.Myintentionhereistoproducesomethingunexpected.”(Wordcraft太明智了。哇！但“明智”是可預測、過度使用和無聊的另一個詞。我的目的是創造一些意想不到的東西。”)”可知，Wordcraft的作品與現存作品有相似之處。故選D。19．推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段的“Theirwork,andthatofcountlessothernovelists,shortstorywriters,dramatistsandpoets,istooparticular,toobeautifullyunique.Evenifamodellearnedwhattheyhaddoneinthepast,itwouldnotbeabletopredictwheretheircreativitymighttaketheminthefuture.(他們的作品，以及無數其他小說家、短篇小說作家、劇作家和詩人的作品，都太過獨特，太過美好。即使一個模型了解了他們過去的行為，它也無法預測他們的創造力在未來會把他們帶到哪里。)”可知，作家們可以通過創作有創意的作品來避免人工智能的威脅，故選C。20．主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其是第一段的“CouldthenextErnestHemingwayorJaneAustenbeawell-engineeredAIsoftwareprogram?It’saquestionbecomingincreasinglypressingasmachinelanguage-learningsoftwarecontinuestoevolve.(下一個ErnestHemingway或JaneAusten會是一個精心設計的人工智能軟件程序嗎？隨著機器語言學習軟件的不斷發展，這個問題變得越來越緊迫。)”和第二段的“Muchofthisisjustnerves.Today’sAIcreativewritingprogramsarenotyetatastageofdevelopmentwheretheyposeaseriousthreattoColleenHooverorCharlesDickens.(這在很大程度上只是神經緊張。今天的人工智能創意寫作程序還沒有發展到對ColleenHoover或CharlesDickens構成嚴重威脅的階段。)”可知，本文主要探討的是人工智能是否會取代人類的作家，因此最好的題目是A選項“WillAIReplaceHumanWriters?(人工智能會取代人類作家嗎？)”，故選A。完形填空1.“Itwillbemarvelous.Itwillbespiritual.”Thisisthe
