（2022·福建省福州屏东中学二模）Artificial intelligence（AI）is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart”. John MeCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name “artificial intelligence” in 1955. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as we do.
An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn, solve problems, and think logically（逻辑地）. At present we use the term AI for successfully understanding human speech, recognizing（识别）human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game systems like Chess and AlphaGo（阿尔法狗）. Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking, a well-known British scientist, was not for this kind of technology.
Math is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We not only want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them the math skills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.
Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.
16．From Paragraph 1, we know that .
A．all problems can be solved by AI B．machines with AI can think and learn
C．AI has been around for only 60 years D．AI works in the same way as humans
17．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to（指的是） .
A．Chess B．AlphaGo C．the danger D．AI
18．According to the writer and the following school report, which student will most probably become a successful AI designer?
Subject
Name
Math（100）
Art（100）
Computer Science（100）

A．Mike. B．Peter. C．Amy. D．Cathy.
19．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists’    about AI.
A．wishes B．worries C．feelings D．discoveries
20．The writer is probably going to talk about in the next paragraph.
A．how AI came into being and what AI can do
B．what problems AI will bring to human beings
C．how to improve students’ math and computer skills
D．how to create creative and emotional AI
【答案】16．B 17．D 18．B 19．A 20．D
【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能（AI）的发展和应用。如果要成为一名AI设计师，就必须学好数学和电脑科学知识。
16．细节理解题。根据“Artificial intelligence（AI）is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn.”可知AI指的是电脑程序或机器能思考和学习的能力，所以拥有AI的机器能思考和学习，故选B。
17．词句猜测题。“it”是代词，代指前面出现的内容；根据“Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly.”可知it指代的是前半句提到的“AI”，本句话表达的意思是，有些人还认为，如果发展过快，AI对人类来说会变成一种危险。故选D。
18．推理判断题。根据“Math is the basic language of AI.”和“Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.”可知数学是AI设计的基础语言，除此之外计算机科学知识对AI设计来说也非常的必要，所以数学和电脑成绩优秀的Peter同学最有可能成为AI设计师，故选B。
19．段落大意题。根据“Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art.”及全段内容可知第四段主要讲述了科学家们关于人工智能的愿望，故选A。
20．推理判断题。根据“Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.”可知，下一段可能要介绍如何创造具有创造性和情感的AI。故选D。
（2022年福建省泉州市中考二模英语试题（含听力））Inventions change how we live, work, play and think about what’s possible. Every year, TIME magazine lists the 100 best inventions based on their creativity and influence on our lives. What did the magazine choose this year? Let’s take a look.
Easier to read
Reading can be a big problem for tens of millions of people. They may have poor eyesight or reading difficulties. But OrCam Read can help them! It’s the first of its kind reading pen with a smart camera and an AI (人工智能) system. After scanning (扫描) a page of text with the click of a button, it can read the text aloud to the user. You don’t need to connect it to the Internet. You can use it off line at home, work, school, or even in stores when you need to read prices.
Sweet idea
Honey is produced by bees. But today’s beekeeping business is not good for these hard-working insects. Bee farmers may kill them after harvesting honey because it’s cheaper than feeding the bees through the winter. To save bees, US company MeliBio has found a way to make the world’s first bee free honey. They used synthetic (合成的) biology to create honey directly from plants. This kind of honey tastes just like the real honey, and it is healthy, too.
Keep you calm
When you feel angry or unhappy, what do you do about it? Scientists say you can try to calm others. This can help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This bear-like toy has 9 sensors (感应器). It has a quick “heartbeat” and can respond to your touch. As you hold and pet it, its heartbeat slows. And it purrs (发咕噜声) like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch! Through petting Purrble, you will come to realize your own feelings and learn how to feel calm yourself.
21．How does OrCam Read work for people?
A．By connecting to the Internet anywhere. B．By making the words in the text larger.
C．By scanning the text and reading aloud. D．By showing photos from a smart camera.
22．What does “bee-free” mean?
A．Bees are not needed. B．Bees can live freely in winter.

（2022·河北唐山·三模）How will the Internet change the world? Will we enjoy a smarter life in the future? Recently, many of the world’s biggest Internet companies took part in an important meeting. They talked about how to build a future for our online world. The Internet can make our lives easier in many ways. The companies at the meeting showed us some of their latest technology. Here are some examples. Let’s take a look.
Lip reading machines
They can not only read faces. They can also read your lip movements. The Chinese Internet company Sogou has made lip reading technology. You don’t need to speak aloud. The machine turns your lip movements into voice or text. This could be very useful if you are in a noisy place and people cannot hear you on your phone. Police can also use this technology. Sometimes they see criminals (罪犯) on city-monitoring (城市监控) cameras, but they don’t know what they say. The lip reading technology can help people with this.
Smart shoes
Your feet might hurt if your shoes don’t fit you. This won’t happen if you wear “smart” custom-made shoes. The Xiemofang company brought a machine to the meeting. The machine scans (扫描) your feet. It records 39 parts of your feet. It also has a database(数据库). The database has more than 10,000 kinds of shoes. You can choose the colour and style. It also gives you suggestions for your choices. The suggestions are based on records of other people’s feet. You can get your new shoes after 10 days.
Unmanned supermarkets
You walk into a supermarket, pick out your goods and go to check out. But there is no worker. There is just a sign that says “Please smile”. When you smile, it gives you a discount (打折). Your money goes from your Alipay account (支付宝账户) to the supermarket. You don’t need to do anything. The Alibaba company has made this supermarket. When you go into the supermarket, it knows your face and your Alipay account. It also knows your facial expressions (面部表情). So it knows how much you like your goods. The supermarket not only makes shopping easier, but also understands you.
26．Many Internet companies took part in an important meeting to show us _________.
A．how powerful the online world is B．how to use technology on the Internet
C．how to enjoy a life in the future D．how technology makes life better

C．students are doing their homework D．parents are taking photos for the kids
28．You can get suggestions about your ideal shoes according to _________.

C．records of other people’s feet D．10,000 kinds of shoes

B．If you smile, you can get a discount in the unmanned supermarkets.
C．The machine can recognize not only your face but also your Alipay account.
D．You needn’t pay anything if you are satisfied with your goods.
