The terrible accident causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world, “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore！” But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. In addition, with VR technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with hundreds of images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as “same” as the real one.As computers and smartphones are hugely popular，the digital replica or digital copy has great practical value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting it in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.Time is the biggest problem to architectural heritage. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future，but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.1．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．The big fire has damaged the whole Notre Dame.B．Only people in Paris felt pain for losing Notre Dame.C．The damaged parts of Notre Dame have already been repaired.D．A video game can help people see the original look of Notre Dame.2．What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings?A．Scan the photos of the buildings. B．Build 3D models of full size.C．Improve the technology needed. D．Measure all the parts exactly.3．How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance?A．By comparison. B．By listing data.C．By giving examples. D．By classification.4．What is the best title for the passage?A．The Damage of Notre Dame B．The Value of Digital Replica C．VR Technology Helps Repair the Cultural Relics D．Digital Technology Helps Protect Ancient Buildings 【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了数字技术现在可以提供一种实用的方法来帮助保护建筑文化遗产。1．D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity(但好消息是，至少可以通过一种方式看到它们，即通过一款名叫Assassin’s Creed: Unity的视频游戏). ”可知，通过一款视频游戏可以再次看到巴黎圣母院的原貌。D项“A video game can help people see the original look of Notre Dame(一款视频游戏可以帮助人们看见巴黎圣母院的原貌). ”符合以上说法。故选D项。2．D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with hundreds of images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as ’same’ as the real one(通过使用激光扫描古建筑，建立具有上百个图像的3D模型以及精确测量每件物品，工程师可以制作出与实物一样精确的副本). ”可知，工程师精确测量所有零件来创建古代建筑的数字复制品。D项“Measure all the parts exactly(精确地测量所有部分). ”符合以上说法。故选D项。3．C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them (甘肃省敦煌石窟的虚拟游览就是一个很好的例子，游客可以不用站在旁边看画). ”可推测，作者通过实例证明数字拷贝具有至关重要的现实意义。C项“By giving examples. ”符合以上说法。故选C项。4．D 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段 “Time is the biggest problem to architectural heritage. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future，but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment(时间对于建筑遗址来说是最大的问题。或许将来我们有更好的技术，但目前数字技术提供了一个实用的方法来保护文化遗产). ”可知，本文主要讲述了用数字技术保护建筑文化遗产。D项“Digital Technology Helps Protect Ancient Buildings(数字技术帮助保护古代建筑)”作为本文最佳标题。故选D项。B When Tina Sorg first saw the robot rolling through her supermarket, she thought，“That thing is a little weird. ” Programmed to detect spills and rubbish in the passages，the robot looked like a printer with a long neck. “It needed personality，” said Ms Sorg，55，who manages the store’s beer and wine department.So，during one overnight shift，she went out to a nearby arts and craft store，brought back a large pair of googly eyes(塑料眼睛) and, when no one was looking，fixed them on the top of the robot.The eyes were a hit with managers at her grocery company Ahold Delhaize. They are now a standard feature on the company’s nearly 500 robots across the United States.How this supermarket robot got its funny eyes touches on a serious question: Will robots with friendly faces and cute names help people feel good about devices that are taking over an increasing amount of human work?Robots are now working everywhere from factories to living rooms. But the introduction of robots to public settings like the grocery store is increasing new fears that humans are being pushed out of jobs. McKinsey，the consulting(咨询) firm, says the grocers could immediately reduce “the pool of labor hours” by as much as 65% if they adopted all the automation technology currently available.Still，most of the retail(零售的) robots have just enough human qualities to make them appear friendly but not too many to suggest they are replacing humans completely.“There is never going to be this great disaster of job loss，” said Peter Hancock，a professor at the University of Central Florida who has studied the history of automation. Throughout history，Hancock added，workers have attacked technologies when they feel threatened，like the 19th-century Luddites，who destroyed machinery in cloth factories. “If you push too hard，too far，people transfer their anger to the technology，and they protest，” he noted.5．What was Tina Sorg’s attitude towards the robot that “looked like a printer with a long neck”?A．Positive. B．Indifferent.C．Favorable. D．Disapproving.6．What happened to the googly eyes Tina Sorg put on the robot?A．They were banned by her supermarket.B．They were well-received by her bosses.C．They went unnoticed by her colleagues.D．They were hit by some drunk customers.7．The consulting firm McKinsey is mentioned ________ .A．to point out the exact amount of labor to be done by robots B．to celebrate the prospect of robots replacing human workers C．to emphasize the risk of job loss due to technological advances D．to stress the power of automation technology in public settings 8．What can be inferred from Professor Hancock’s words?A．Robots will be made more human-like.B．Technology protects humans’ job security.C．Robots will not replace human workers entirely.D．Governments should get protesters under control.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。蒂娜·索格为了让机器人看起来更像人，给机器人增添了一双眼睛。这一举动也给了设计者启示，认为机器人应有足够的人类特质，以带给人类客户更好的体验。但机器人的普及也引发了大家针对机器人是否会代替人类劳动力这一问题的讨论。5．D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“’It needed personality，’said Ms Sorg, 55, who manages the store’s beer and wine department(’它需要个性，’55岁的索格说，她负责店里的啤酒和葡萄酒部). ”可推测出，索格对目前的机器人不满意，觉得它需要增添个性。所以D项符合题意。故选D项。6．B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The eyes were a hit with managers at her grocery company Ahold Delhaize. They are now a standard feature on the company’s nearly 500 robots across the United States (这双眼睛很受她的食品杂货公司Ahold Delhaize经理们的欢迎。它们现在是该公司遍布美国的近500个机器人的标准功能). ”可知，杂货公司的经理们都很喜欢机器人脸上新添加的眼睛。故选B项。7．C 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Robots are now working everywhere from factories to living rooms. But the introduction of robots to public settings like the grocery store is increasing new fears that humans are being pushed out of jobs(机器人现在工作在从工厂到客厅的任何地方。但机器人进入食品杂货店等公共场所，增加了人们对人类将被挤出工作岗位的新担忧). ”此处重点强调“But”后的内容，所以下文提及McKinsey的例子是为了进一步强调机器人的出现可能会增加人类的失业风险。故选C项。8．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“ ’There is never going to be this great disaster of job loss，’ said Peter Hancock, a professor at the University of Central Florida who has studied the history of automation(中佛罗里达大学研究自动化历史的教授Peter Hancock说： ’永远不会出现这种失业的大灾难’). ”可知，Peter Hancock认为机器人的普及并不会导致人类失业大灾难。由此推知，他认为机器人不会完全取代人类劳动者。故选C项。Ⅲ．书面表达 假如你是李华，你校将举办以“人工智能与生活”为主题的科技创新大赛(Science and Technology Innovation Contest)。请你用英语为本次活动写一则宣传稿。内容包括： 1．比赛目的； 2．主题与内容； 3．参赛方式。注意： 1．词数 80 左右； 2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。________________________________________________________________ One possible version： A Special Contest You Won’t Want to Miss To inspire us with scientific creativity in this ever-changing “smarter” world, we have a Science and Technology Innovation Contest on the way.The coming contest, with the theme of “Artificial Intelligence and Our Life”， will serve as a platform to show our talents for technological innovation.

But the introduction of robots to public settings like the grocery store is increasing new fears that humans are being pushed out of jobs(机器人现在工作在从工厂到客厅的任何地方。但机器人进入食品杂货店等公共场所，增加了人们对人类将被挤出工作岗位的新担忧). ”此处重点强调“But”后的内容，所以下文提及McKinsey的例子是为了进一步强调机器人的出现可能会增加人类的失业风险。故选C项。8．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“ ’There is never going to be this great disaster of job loss，’ said Peter Hancock, a professor at the University of Central Florida who has studied the history of automation(中佛罗里达大学研究自动化历史的教授Peter Hancock说： ’永远不会出现这种失业的大灾难’). ”可知，Peter Hancock认为机器人的普及并不会导致人类失业大灾难。由此推知，他认为机器人不会完全取代人类劳动者。故选C项。Ⅲ．书面表达 假如你是李华，你校将举办以“人工智能与生活”为主题的科技创新大赛(Science and Technology Innovation Contest)。请你用英语为本次活动写一则宣传稿。内容包括： 1．比赛目的； 2．主题与内容； 3．参赛方式。注意： 1．词数 80 左右； 2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。________________________________________________________________ One possible version： A Special Contest You Won’t Want to Miss To inspire us with scientific creativity in this ever-changing “smarter” world, we have a Science and Technology Innovation Contest on the way.The coming contest, with the theme of “Artificial Intelligence and Our Life”， will serve as a platform to show our talents for technological innovation.
