Question

【題目】 Do you think robots could pass an eighth-grade test? Guess what—they can.

The artificial intelligence (AI) system Aristo recently passed the same eighth-grade science test that some US students take. The New York Times reported. Aristo correctly(正確地) answered 90 percent of the questions on the test.

This is an example of the progress that is being made in AI development. Four years ago, 700 computer scientists tried to develop AI systems that could pass these kinds of exams. None scored higher than 60 percent.

Scientists at the Allen Institute in the US developed the system. Aristo was able to pass the exam because it can not only understand language, but also use logical thinking(邏輯思維)to solve difficult problems. For example, it can understand what a forest fire is and how it could affect(影響) animals.

The system used BERT, a kind of neural(神經(jīng)的) network technology developed by Google, to answer the questions. BERT has "read" thousands of articles and can understand English. If it looks at a sentence with a missing word, it can correctly guess what the word is. With BERT's help, Aristo "read" many multiple-choice(多選的) questions. Over time, it was able to find logical patterns(邏輯模式).

Aristo’s success means that we might see new AI-based products(人工智能產(chǎn)品), such as search engines(搜索引擎) and databases(數(shù)據(jù)庫) for hospitals. AI systems might be able to better understand users in the future.

【1】What did the AI system Aristo do?

A.Help students study.B.Pass a school test.

C.Talk like a human does.D.Develop other AI systems.

【2】What was Aristo's biggest success?

A.It passed several kinds of tests.B.It passed the test with a full score.

C.It scored 90 percent on the test.D.It worked out a set of test questions.

【3】How did Aristo answer questions in the test?

A.By using BERT.B.By asking Google for help.

C.By working with scientists.D.By copying the students' answers.

【4】Paragraph 5 is written to________.

A.explain how Aristo workedB.show what else Aristo can do

C.show how Aristo was createdD.describe another AI breakthrough

【5】From the story, we can learn that________.

A.AI-based products are not usefulB.AI systems might be used in many fields

C.robots can't think logicallyD.Aristo will be used to help teach students

【4】A

【5】B

【解析】

本文講述人工智能系統(tǒng)阿里斯托最近通過了與一些美國學(xué)生相同的八年級科學(xué)考試，以及它的工作原理。阿里斯托的成功意味著人工智能系統(tǒng)可能被應(yīng)用于很多領(lǐng)域。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第2段第1句“The artificial intelligence (AI) system Aristo recently passed the same eighth-grade science test that some US students take.（人工智能（AI）系統(tǒng)亞里士多德最近通過了與一些美國學(xué)生相同的八年級科學(xué)考試。）”可知“阿里斯托的人工智能系統(tǒng)通過了學(xué)�？荚�。”。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第2段第3句“Aristo correctly(正確地) answered 90 percent of the questions on the test.（阿里斯托正確地回答了測驗中90%的問題。）”可知“亞里士多德最大的成功是考試得了90%。”。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第5段第1句“The system used BERT, a kind of neural(神經(jīng)的) network technology developed by Google, to answer the questions.( 該系統(tǒng)使用了由谷歌開發(fā)的一種神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)BERT來回答這些問題。)”可知“阿里斯托在考試中使用BERT回答問題�！惫蔬xA。

【4】主旨題。第5段意思是“該系統(tǒng)使用了由谷歌開發(fā)的一種神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)BERT來回答這些問題。BERT已經(jīng)“讀”了上千篇文章，而且能理解英語。如果它看一個缺少單詞的句子，它能正確地猜出單詞是什么。在BERT的幫助下，阿里斯托“閱讀”了許多多選的問題。隨著時間的推移，它能夠找到邏輯模式�！笨芍�“第5段解釋了阿里斯托是如何工作的”。故選A。

【5】主旨題。根據(jù)最后一段“Aristo’s success means that we might see new AI-based products(人工智能產(chǎn)品),such as search engines(搜索引擎) and databases(數(shù)據(jù)庫) for hospitals. AI systems might be able to better understand users in the future.（阿里斯托的成功意味著我們可能會看到基于AI的新產(chǎn)品，比如搜索引擎和醫(yī)院數(shù)據(jù)庫。未來人工智能系統(tǒng)也許能更好地理解用戶。）”可知“從這個故事中，我們可以了解到人工智能系統(tǒng)可能在很多領(lǐng)域都有應(yīng)用”。故選B。
