21、The average person must think the field of artificial intelligence or AI is making great progress. The boss of a top tech company thinks that in search of creating AI that has the flexibility of the human brain, “the game is over”. Don’t be fooled. We should see it in a reasonable way. Machines may someday be as smart as people and perhaps even smarter, but the game is far from over. There is still a large amount of work to be done in making AI machines that can truly understand and reason about the world around them. What we need right now is more basic research to speed it up.
AI is making progress. Artificial images look more and more realistic, and speech recognition can often work in noisy environments. But we are still likely decades away from human-level AI that can understand the true meanings of articles and videos or deal with unexpected difficulties. The field is stuck on the same challenges that scientists have been pointing out for years: getting AI to be reliable and getting it to flexibly deal with unusual situations. Unluckily, the fact is that these systems still fail to work reliably and struggle with new situations.
Although deep learning has advanced the ability of AI machines to recognize patterns in data, it has three main disadvantages. The patterns that it learns are superficial. The results it creates are hard to explain. And the results are difficult to use in the other processes, such as memory and reasoning. As Harvard University computer scientist Leslie Valiant noted, “The central challenge in the future is to unify the formulations (统一公式) of learning and reasoning.” You can’t deal with a person carrying a stop sign if you don’t really understand what a stop sign even is.
It’s time for AI researchers to get out of turning to the media straightly for help, and ask important questions about how to build systems that can learn and reason at the same time.
【1】What does the author expect of AI?
A．It’ll make less progress.
B．It’ll get less basic research.
C．It’ll replace human workforce in all fields.
D．It’ll have the real ability to understand and reason.
【2】What does the author stress about human-level AI in paragraph 2?
A．Its cost and quality.
B．Its speech and sound.
C．Its reliability and flexibility.
D．Its appearance and operation.
【3】What is paragraphs 3 mainly about?
A．The weaknesses of AI machines.
B．The advances brought out by AI.
C．The processes of making AI machines.
D．The scientists working on AI research.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Keep Away from AI
B．Treat AI Reasonably
C．The Use of AI Should Be Reported
D．AI Is Turning to the Media for Help
22、It’s a great sunny day, so it’s time to get out and enjoy the weather. Many of us would like to, but we have projects due, tasks that need to be done, people that we need to see and money that needs to be made.
What if your company gave you that time off as compensation for the great effort that you gave to the team to finish a project on time? See, when it comes to teamwork, the main focus is for the team to work together. In a ‘‘winning” team there is an equal balance of people who have unique strengths and weaknesses.
Take the example of the Chicago Bulls(芝加哥公牛队) of the 1990s. Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player to play the game, but did they win a championship every year when Michael had played? No. It took a (D-type) Michael Jordan to lead the team and control the outcome. It took a(n) (I-type) wild and energetic Dennis Rodman to keep the team fun and interesting. It took (S-types) Scottie Pippin, Bill Cartwright, and John Paxson to support the team. And it took the (C-type) analytical mind of Coach Phil Jackson to create a foundation for the players to play on. In the end they, the Chicago Bulls, were able to win six championships within eight years.
What is your team made up of? All Jordans? All Jacksons? All Rodmans? Or all Pippins, Cartwrights and Paxsons? It is you who can choose who’s on your team. Try finding the right people for the right job, and you will have a “winning” team every time!
【1】The underlined word “compensation” in the second paragraph means “ ”.
A. reward B. present C. money D. duty
【2】According to this passage, a winning team is made up of .
A. a group of people who are tall and strong
B. a group of people who don’t have weaknesses
C. a group of people who don’t quarrel with each other
D. a group of people whose strengths and weaknesses can get to balance
【3】 The Chicago Bulls were able to win six championships within eight years because .
A. Michael Jordan was a good team leader
B. Coach Phil Jackson created a foundation
C. all the players and the coach worked together
D. Dennis Rodman kept the team fun and interesting
【4】 What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Working Is Happy B. The Story of the Chicago Bulls
C. Good Choice D. Working Together for a Team
