21、 The Alpha Go program’s victory is an example of how smart computers have become.
But can artificial intelligence (AI) machines act ethically—can they be honest and fair?
One example of AI is driverless cars. They are already on California roads, so it is not too soon to ask whether we can program a machine to act ethically. As driverless cars improve, they will save lives. They will make fewer mistakes than human drivers do. Sometimes, however, they will face a choice between lives. Should the cars be programmed to avoid hitting a child running across the road, even if that will put their passengers at risk? What about making a sudden turn to avoid a dog? What if the only risk is damage to the car itself, no to the passengers?
Perhaps there will be lessons to learn from driverless cars, but they are not super-intelliger beings. Teaching ethics to a machine even more intelligent than we are will be the bigger challenge.
About the same time as AlphaGo’s victory, Microsoft’s ‘chatbot’ took a bad turn. The software, named Taylor, was designed to answer messages from people aged 18-24. Taylor was supposed to be able to learn from the messages she received. She was designed to slowly improve her ability to handle conversations, but some people were teaching Taylor racist ideas. When she started saying nice things about Hitler, Microsoft turned her off and deleted her ugliest messages.
Alpha Go’s victory and Taylor’s defeat happened at about the same time. This should be a warning to us. It is one thing to use AI within a game with clear rules and clear goals. It is something very different to use AI in the real world. The unpredictability of the real world may bring to the surface a troubling software problem.
Eric Schmidt is one of the bosses of Google, which own AlphaGo. He thinks AI will be positive for humans. He said people will be the winner, whatever the outcome. Advances in AI will make human beings smarter, more able and “just better human beings.”
【1】What does the author want to show with the example of AlphaGo’s victory?
A.Computers will win human beings.
B.Computers have unmatched potential.
C.Computers are man’s potential opponents (对手).
D.Computers can become highly intelligent.
【2】What is said to be the bigger challenge facing humans in the AI age?
A.How to make super-intelligent AI machines share human feelings.
B.How to ensure that super-intelligent AI machines act ethically.
C.How to prevent AI machines doing harm to humans.
D.How to avoid being over-dependent on AI machines.
【3】What do we learn about Microsoft’s ‘chatbot’ Taylor?
A.She could not distinguish good from bad.
B.She could turn herself off when necessary.
C.She was not made to handle strange situations.
D.She was good at performing routine tasks.
【4】What does Eric Schmidt think of artificial intelligence?
A.It will be far superior to human beings.
B.It will keep improving as time goes by.
C.It will prove to be valuable to human beings.
D.It will be here to stay whatever the outcome.
22、 A primary school in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province has announced it no longer requires parents to sign their children’s homework, which was aimed at getting parents to supervise(监督) their children after school. China Youth Daily comments: Putting an end to the requirement that parents sign off on the homework of their children eases the burden on many parents, as otherwise they would have to do primary school homework after a hard day’s work. But there are worries that if parents stop having to sign off on their children’s homework, the children will not get good grades.
However, the most effective way for children to study is to develop their willingness to learn and do their own studies. When doing homework, students practice and hopefully apply what they have learned. It is true that teachers are supposed to check students’ homework and identify their mistakes. But some parents correct their children’s mistakes by themselves when signing off on it.
It is the duty of students to do their homework, be responsible for their studies and correct their mistakes. Parents’ supervising their homework, checking their answers and dealing with the harder problems will only make children less aware of their mistakes and encourage them to wait for their parents’ help when they face any problems.
Children have to manage their own learning and develop the ability to study by themselves, as competence will not be achieved if a student simply repeats strict tasks in which he is assisted in school by teachers and at home by parents.
A delayed satisfaction experiment conducted by Walter Mischel in the 1960s proved that children with better self-discipline(自律) performed better in their studies and interpersonal relationships.
There is little doubt that parents’ supervision can make children’s homework better. But it does not give children the chance to practice their ability to solve problems independently.
【1】Why does the author mention the primary school’s announcement in the first paragraph?
A. To express his doubts. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To present an argument. D. To clarify his writing purpose.
【2】In the author’s opinion, stopping signing kids’ homework mainly aims to __________.
A. ease the burden on many parents.
B. help children get good grades.
C. increase the kids’ awareness of being responsible for their studies.
D. shift(转移) the responsibility of supervising kids’ homework on to teachers.
【3】Which of the following can be an effect caused by parents’ stopping signing off?
A. Children’s grades will absolutely decrease.
B. Children will lose confidence when facing any problems.
C. Children will simply repeat rigid tasks so as to practice themselves.
D. Children will try to deal with their problems and mistakes by themselves.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to parents’ stopping signing kids’ homework?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent.
C. Neutral. D. Opposed
23、For the past 11 years, 83-year-old Al Merritt has been a reliable and cheery presence in his neighborhood.
Since 2010, Merritt has been trying to achieve the mission to cycle the circumference (周长) of the Earth — 24,901 miles — without ever leaving his own neighborhood. As a result, Merritt got to know many of his neighbors. Up until October 24, (2021), he never realized that his daily bicycle trips were as important to them as they were to him.
At 3 p.m., nearly 200 people gathered near his home to surprise and congratulate Merritt on the ending of his “round-the-world” adventure, and a large trophy (奖杯) was placed in his arms. “It’s just unbelievable. I couldn’t have imagined anything like this,” he said.
11 years ago, when his son Kevin brought a bike, Al started cycling around. At first, his rides were about five miles long, then 10 to 12 miles, and gradually the length of his outings grew. As time went by, he began to think big——the circumference of the Earth. By the end of 2020, he had covered 21,565 miles in total and knew he could complete his goal by the end of 2021.
There was no celebration of the goal planned until Natalie London and Taylor Plecity came along. They were visiting London’s mom when Merritt flew by on his bike. Attracted by his story, they walked over to introduce themselves. When they discovered Merritt was just weeks away from completing his goal, they asked if they could film a short documentary.
“We wanted to tell the story of this guy. What Merritt represents is how an individual’s small acts can change an entire community,” said London. To celebrate the completion of Merritt’s cycling goal, they secretly printed up flyers and placed them on doorsteps for several blocks. But even they were surprised at the huge crowd that gathered.
Although Merritt has now achieved his goal, he has no plans to change the routine that has become the highlight of his daily life.
