【題目】How AI Protects Us

We should consider AI not as something competing with us, but as something that can strengthen our abilities. 【1】 And it might help keep us safe in the 21st century.

Predict infectious (傳染性的) diseases

The AI in medicine is a system that combines the time and location of each new infectious disease. “These are all factors that determine how the disease will spread,” explains a researcher. 【2】 It will allow public health officials to take action early for locals.

Keep hunger from the door

Researchers develop an automated system aimed at fighting against diseases in crops. The Mcrops project allows local farmers to take pictures of their plants and use computers that have been trained to spot the signs of the four main diseases that are responsible for damaging crops. 【3】

Fight cancer

Cancer causes more than 8.8 million deaths worldwide and 14 million people are diagnosed with some form of cancer every year. 【4】 Now Google and IBM have been applying their AI technology to this problem.

【5】

The task of balancing power supplies is getting harder. The spread of smart meters — digital energy monitors that automatically record usage - is also providing more data than ever about how and when consumers use energy. The EU alone plans to have 500 million smart meters in homes by 2020.

A.Record the locations smartly.

B.Keep the balance of power supplies

C.Thus, the farmers can have a good harvest.

D.The system can also help to predict the disease.

E.This is because AI has an ability that’s far beyond humans.

F.But now people have no ideas how to deal with the terrible problem.

G.Yet catching cancers as early as possible can greatly improve a patient’s chances of survival.

【答案】

【1】E

【2】D

【3】C

【4】G

【5】B

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章分別從四個(gè)方面介紹了人工智能是如何保護(hù)我們的。

【1】

空格上一句“but as something that can strengthen our abilities.”提到我們應(yīng)該把人工智能看作是增強(qiáng)我們能力的東西。E選項(xiàng)“This is because AI has an ability that’s far beyond humans.”意為“這是因?yàn)槿斯ぶ悄艿哪芰h(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)人類”，這句話能夠解釋為什么我們應(yīng)該把人工智能看作是增強(qiáng)我們能力的東西，能夠承接上文。故選E項(xiàng)。

【2】

分析文章結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本文為總分結(jié)構(gòu)�？崭袼诙温涞男�(biāo)題為Predict infectious (傳染性的) diseases，意為“預(yù)測(cè)傳染性疾病”D選項(xiàng)“The system can also help to predict the disease.”意為“這個(gè)系統(tǒng)還能夠幫助預(yù)測(cè)疾病”，與段落主旨相呼應(yīng)。其次，空格后句“It will allow public health officials to take action early for locals.”意為“這將使公共衛(wèi)生官員盡早地為當(dāng)?shù)厝瞬扇⌒袆?dòng)”，此句是D項(xiàng)中預(yù)防疾病功能的具體作用。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】

空格所在段小標(biāo)題為Keep hunger from the door，意為“遠(yuǎn)離饑餓”，根據(jù)本段關(guān)鍵句“Researchers develop an automated system aimed at fighting against diseases in crops.”可知，研究人員開(kāi)發(fā)了一個(gè)自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)，旨在對(duì)抗農(nóng)作物疾病。C項(xiàng)“Thus, the farmers can have a good harvest.”意為“這樣，農(nóng)民就會(huì)有一個(gè)好收成”，讓農(nóng)民有個(gè)好收成是開(kāi)發(fā)這個(gè)自動(dòng)化系統(tǒng)的目的，C項(xiàng)切題。故選C。

【4】

空格所在段小標(biāo)題為Fight cancer，意為“抗癌”，空格前內(nèi)容說(shuō)明每年癌癥導(dǎo)致全球超過(guò)880萬(wàn)人死亡，1400萬(wàn)人被診斷出患有某種癌癥。G項(xiàng)“Yet catching cancers as early as possible can greatly improve a patient’s chances of survival.”意為“但盡早發(fā)現(xiàn)癌癥可以大大提高患者的生存率”，此項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與前文形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，且與小標(biāo)題中的cancer相呼應(yīng)。故選G。

【5】

本題為段落選擇小標(biāo)題。根據(jù)本段第一句話The task of balancing power supplies is getting harder.可知，平衡電力供應(yīng)的任務(wù)越來(lái)越艱巨。后文又介紹了智能電表能夠提供更多消費(fèi)者如何和何時(shí)使用能源的數(shù)據(jù)，可以推斷出本段主要說(shuō)明了人工智能通過(guò)智能電表的形式幫助人們保持電源供應(yīng)平衡。B項(xiàng)Keep the balance of power supplies意為“保持電源供應(yīng)平衡”，能夠概括段意。故選B。

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進(jìn)行續(xù)寫(xiě)，使之構(gòu)成一個(gè)完整的故事。

There was a rich couple who was throwing a big new year party at their house. So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price. They wanted to maintain their high living standard so they didn’t mind paying a lot for it. After purchasing everything they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it off at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, not very healthy looking. His clothes were torn and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs.

They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods at their home. The old porter quoted just a $20, a price well below the market rate for delivering goods at couple’s home in his cart. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make money for every single meal so he needed anything he could earn.

The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, two hours passed, but the porter still hadn’t delivered their stuff.

The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person but you never listen to me. Such a person is not even able to earn to feed himself for one time in a day, and you handed him everything we purchased for our big party. I am sure instead of delivering at our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”

They both left towards the market. On their way, near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their stuff in his cart!

注意：

1. 所續(xù)寫(xiě)短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；

2. 應(yīng)使用5個(gè)以上短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)；

3. 續(xù)寫(xiě)部分分為兩段，每段的開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)已為你寫(xiě)好；

4. 續(xù)寫(xiě)完成后，請(qǐng)用下劃線標(biāo)出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語(yǔ)。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：

【題目】 Laboratory studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high intensity blue light damages retinal (視網(wǎng)膜的) cells in mice.【1】So, why is there the disconnect between blue light's effects on rodent(嚙齒類動(dòng)物) eyes and human eyes?

【2】We have protective elements, such as macular pigments (黃斑色素) and the natural blue-blocking ability of the crystalline lens (晶狀體). These structures absorb blue light before it reaches the delicate retina.

Just because blue light isn't harming your retina, it doesn't mean your electronic devices are harmless.【3】Mounting evidence suggests that screen time before bed increases the time it takes to fall sleep. It also robs you of restorative rapid-eye movement seep, dulls focus, and reduces brain activity the next day.

【4】

First, turn off your electronic devices before bed. Outside of the bedroom, when you do look at your screens, lower the brightness.

Second, follow the“20-20-20”rule The American Optometric Association(美國(guó)驗(yàn)光學(xué)會(huì)) defines this rule as taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet in the distance. 【5】

Third, use lubricating eye drops before extended computer use. This method will build up the body's natural tears and keep the eye's surface water-bearing.

A.This will allow your eyes to relax.

B.Human eyes are different from rodent eyes.

C.That's why it's so important to have your eyes tested regularly.

D.Because of is wavelength, blue light dos disrupt healthy sleep physiology (生理機(jī)能).

E.But epidemiological (流行病學(xué)的) studies on real people tell a different story.

F.Consumers often don't think about the impact digital devices might have on their vision.

G.There are ways to make your screen viewing more comfortable and more helpful to seep.
