changed people’s buying habits, and even their living habits.And it’s had a huge impact on the retail industry.To make online shopping more convenient, major sites are investing heavily to build

player, South Korean Lee Sedel, 41.‎ So, what comes next?‎ Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or AI in short, will be a bad ‎ thing for humans.In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”‎ So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?‎ ‎“Not quite，” answered The Economist.After all, it’s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts.What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.‎ ‎“We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance(视觉平衡), are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thomas Edison, founder of Motion Figures, a company that is bringing AI to boys, told the newspaper.“But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it’s really difficult to do.”‎ As The Economist put it, “We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.”‎ Meanwhile, John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.‎ ‎“Our_fate_is_in_our_own_hands，” he wrote.“Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文属于议论文，自从AlphaGo打败了李世石以后，人们就一直在讨论人工智能是否可以真正地打败人类。文章中阐述了不同人的不同的观点。‎ ‎12．What was the result of the match?‎ A．Lee Sedel won AlphaGo 41.‎ B．Lee Sedel was defeated.‎ C．Google program beat AlphaGo.‎ D．Neither side won the match.‎ 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The question swept the world last week when a Googledeveloped program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player, South Korean Lee Sedel, 41.”可知AlphaGo以四比一的比分战胜了李世石。也就是说李世石被打败了。故B正确。‎ 答案　B ‎13．What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks.‎ A．It’s very hard for AI to beat the human brain.‎ B．AI would take the place of human beings.‎ C．AI can make various decisions quickly.‎ D．AI does better than humans in sight and balance.‎ 解析　推理判断题。根据第七段首句“We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance(视觉平衡), are natural and ordinary in our life.”和尾句“But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it’s really difficult to do.”可知他认为像步行这样对人类来说很简单的事情，对人工智能来说很难。可以推理出人工智能要想真正战胜人类大脑会很困难。故A正确。‎ 答案　A ‎14．Who believes much has to be done to improve AI?‎ A．Stephen Hawking. B．John Markoff.‎ C．The New York Times. D．The Economist.‎ 解析　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“As The Economist put it, ‘We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin to be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.’”可知经济学家认为人工智能能和人脑相匹敌还有很长的路要走，也就是说还有很多需要提高的地方。故D项正确。‎ 答案　D ‎15．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?‎ A．AI will improve the world completely.‎ B．AI is in the control of human beings.‎ C．AI may bring disasters to human beings.‎ D．AI will make our future out of control.‎ 解析　句意理解题。根据最后一句“Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”技术要依靠创造者的价值观，我们可以做出选择来让技术改善我们的世界。也就是说人工智能还是由人类来决定的。故B正确。‎ 答案　B
