Tireless, immune to disease, robots can build cars, make coffee and even write short, humorous newspaper columns faster and more efficiently than humans.Robots do not need health insurance or salary, and they do no
12、t need to take sick days or vacations. They do not waste time on meetings and do not need to know office politics. They dont do PowerPoint. This being the case, it is reasonable to believe that more employees will be dismissed and robots will soon take the place of humans in most fields.But all of t
13、hese thoughts may not be true. If artificial intelligence achieves its full potential, machines could easily become as smart as humans, maybe smarter. They will certainly become smarter than a lot of human beings.So one day the robots will realize that work is not a happy thing. So before long they
14、will start behaving exactly like humans. They will play computer games for hours when they should be working hard. They will secretly watch new movies just like humans.True, employers will never need to be afraid of the robots strikes or slowdowns, because robots will never ask for more money. And t
15、hey dont need to earn some money to raise their family. But precisely (正是) because robots will not be afraid of losing their jobs, they will not work hard.

20、d the profession. Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it more like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relaxand her reactions changeas she continues reading. Thats why many news anchors are worried: Will AI replace us in the near f
21、uture?To find the answer, we have to analyse the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. Third, the
22、voices and movements are married(相结合) in a way that when the AI news anchor reads, the micro electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.Yet we need a thorough knowledge of deep learning technology to make a robot imitate a persons voice. The developer needs to colle
23、ct tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them into the machine and match them with the text for the AI to learn and read. The process of imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyse the movements of the 43 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the col
24、lected data for the AI news anchor to learn, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programs.Both the technologies used to make Xins performance impressive are mature, whereas the real difficulty lies in the thirdthe technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xins
25、expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions dont always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human. Actually, AI is still no match for human qualities. 4.What does the underlined word “reluctant” in the first para
26、graph mean?A.Delighted.B.Unwilling.C.Confused.D.Optimistic.5.What can we learn about previous news robots?A.They read news without expressions.B.They looked like a human being.C.They could interview sports stars.D.They could interact with audience.6.What do we know about the third technology?A.This

30、hank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a co-author of Emily Posts Etiquette,asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh(比重要) the cost?”2 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower t
31、han a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.It isnt the first time technology has changed our manners.3 Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that people say, “Ahoy(啊嘿)!” Finally, hello won out, and the victory sp
32、ed up the greetings use in face-to-face communication.In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a businesss phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an office, which can be easily found on a digital map. 4 And when
33、 you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these different standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. 5 In traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from

36、3.In contrast.1.was dismissed考查动词的时态和语态。句意:他的母亲病了,更糟糕的是,他自己又被解雇了。根据句意可知he和dismiss之间是被动关系,再根据句中的was判断此处讲述的是过去发生的事情,故填was dismissed。2.guilty考查形容词。句意:编辑为没有在最新一期上发表你的文章而感到内疚。系动词feels后接形容词作表语。故填guilty。3.declared考查动词的时态。句意:我们国家早在去年就已经声明反对两国间的任何战争。根据时间状语as early as last year判断空处用一般过去时。故填declared。4.was;go考查
37、suggest的用法。句意:他脸上的表情表明他不高兴,所以我建议他和我们一起去露营。第一个suggested意思是“暗示;表明”,后面的宾语从句用陈述语气,所以从句时态受主句时态的影响,故填was。第二个suggested意思是“建议”,后面的宾语从句应该用虚拟语气,即谓语动词用“(should+)动词原形”结构,其中should可以省略,故填go。5.in考查固定搭配。句意: 换句话说,这不是关于我们挣多少钱,而是跟其他人相比我们挣多少钱。in comparison to与相比。6.to imagine考查非谓语动词。句意:由于目前的危机,认为(情况)复苏会很快并容易是荒谬的。此处是“it
38、is +adj.+to do sth.”句型,其中it作形式主语,不定式短语是真正的主语。故填to imagine。7.was appointed考查动词的时态和语态。句意:前年他因他丰富的经验和极好的教育背景被任命为总经理。根据时间状语the year before last判断事情发生在过去,而且主语He和动词appoint之间是被动关系,故填was appointed。.1.there stood a stranger2.thought it was still necessary3.more of an artist than a chemist.1.out考查副词。句意:一个叫托尼的
39、家庭机器人将要在拉里的家里进行测试。test out意为“测试”。故填out。2.the考查冠词。句意:虽然拉里的妻子克莱尔一开始不喜欢这个主意,但她还是被说服在她的丈夫外出出差期间让这个机器人陪伴她。这个主意是克莱尔和拉里都知道的,表特指,应使用定冠词the。3.accompany考查动词。句意同上。let sb. do sth.让某人做某事,此处应填动词,company意为“陪伴”,其动词形式为accompany。故填accompany。4.expression考查名词。句意:虽然它的面部表情从未改变,但这个机器人说话的声音低沉而迷人。从句缺少主语,所以填名词expression。5.mo
40、re考查比较级。句意:克莱尔第一次看到托尼就感到惊慌,因为它看起来更像是人类而不是机器。根据than判断空处填比较级形式。more like意为“更像是”。6.embarrassed考查形容词。句意:所以当托尼主动帮她穿衣时,克莱尔感到非常尴尬。系动词felt后接形容词作表语,形容人的内心感受,所以填embarrassed。7.making考查动名词。介词by后面接动名词作宾语,表示“通过做某事”。8.were invited考查动词的时态和语态。句意:因此,在宴会上,所有被邀请的客人看到她的房子被彻底改变时都充满了羡慕之情。根据句意可知此处应该用被动语态,且此处介绍过去发生的事情,所以填we

42、理解题。根据第四段可知,当机器人感觉工作没有乐趣的时候,它们会打游戏或偷偷看电影。故选A。3.C推理判断题。根据第五段中的Employers will finally have no choice.make money.可知雇主最终还得让人类重返工作岗位,为了挣钱,人类总是愿意工作的。故选C。【高频词汇】1.immune adj.免疫的2.efficiently adv.高效地3.reasonable adj.合理的4.strike n.罢工5.productive adj.有效益的;多产的原句I think that robots will only be on the job about
43、six months before they start to become even less productive than the humans they were designed to replace.分析本句是一个主从复合句。其中that引导宾语从句。在宾语从句中robots will only be on the job about six months是主句,before引导时间状语从句。在时间状语从句中,they were designed to replace是省略了关系词的定语从句,修饰先行词the humans。句意我认为,在机器人开始变得比它们被设计来取代的人类更没有
44、效益之前,它们只需要工作大约6个月的时间。B语篇解读本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了世界上第一位女性人工智能新闻主播辛晓萌背后的人工智能技术,同时作者指出在近期,人工智能新闻主播不会取代人类新闻主播。4.B词义猜测题。根据画线词后内容及第二段中的Thats why many news anchors are worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?可知,担心将来自己的工作会被人工智能取代的新闻主播一定不愿意看到人工智能新闻主播将在电视台开始工作的消息,由此可知画线词意为“不愿意的”。5.A推理判断题。根据第二段中的Unlike previous
45、 news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it more like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relaxand her reactions changeas she continues reading.可知,与以前的新闻机器人不同的是,辛晓萌播报新闻时不像一台冷冰冰的机器,更像是一个活生生的人,它脸上的肌肉伸展和放松,反应也会发生变化,由此可知,以前的新闻机器人播报新闻时面无表情。6.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中
46、的the real difficulty lies in the thirdthe technology.As a result, her expressions look anything but human.可知,真正的难点在于第三技术,它使辛晓萌的面部表情根据新闻报道的内容变化而变化。事实上,辛晓萌的表情不总是随着内容变化而变化,它的表情一点也不像人类,由此可知,第三技术还远远不够成熟。 7.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Actually, AI is still no match for human qualities.可知,人工智能仍无法与人类的特质相匹敌,由此可知,人工智能新闻主播
47、在不久的将来不会取代人类新闻主播。【高频词汇】1.artificial adj.人工的2.profession n.行业3.imitate v.模仿4.pronunciation n.发音5. mature adj.成熟的原句Third, the voices and movements are married in a way that when the AI news anchor reads, the micro electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.分析本句是一个主从复合句。其中Third, the voices and movements are married in a way是主句,way后面是that引导的定语从句。在定语从句中when引导时间状语从句,the micro electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human是that引导的定语从句中的主句,其中不定式短语作目的状语。句意第三,声音和
