专题05【科技类】阅读理解20篇 (原卷版+解析版)
展开A snake﹣rbt designer,a technlgist,an extradimensinal physicist and a jurnalist walk int a rm.The jurnalist turns t the crwd and asks:Shuld we build huses n the cean?Like a think﹣tank panel,members f the team dream up far﹣ut answers t the crucial prblem,such as self﹣driving husing units that culd park n tp f ne anther in the castal city center.
The setting is X,the enterprise which cnsiders mre than 100 ideas each year,in areas ranging frm clean energy t artificial intelligence.Althugh nly a tiny percentage becme "prjects" with far﹣reaching creativity,these prjects exist,ultimately,t change the wrld,like Waym,the biggest self﹣driving﹣car cmpany.In the past 60 years,smething strange has happened.As the academic study f creativity has thrived (蓬勃发展),the label innvatin may have cvered every tiny change f a sda can r a tthpaste flavr,but the rate f prductivity grwth has been mstly declining since the 1970s.Jhn Fernald,an ecnmist,pints ut that the ntable exceptin t the pst﹣1970 decline in prductivity ccurred when businesses thrughut the ecnmy finally figured ut the breakthrugh technlgy﹣infrmatin technlgy.Jhn Fernald says, "It's pssible that prductivity tk ff,because we picked all the lw﹣hanging fruit frm the IT wave. "Actually,the wrld ecnmy cntinues t harvest the benefits f IT.But where will the next technlgy shck cme frm?
Breakthrugh technlgy results frm tw distinct activities﹣inventin and innvatin.Inventin is typically the wrk f scientists and researchers in labs,while innvatin is an inventin put t cmmercial use.Seldm d the tw activities ccur successfully under the same rf.They tend t thrive in ppsite cnditins;while cmpetitin and cnsumer chice encurage innvatin,inventin has histrically prgressed in labs that are prtected frm the pressure t generate prfit.
Allwing well﹣funded and diverse teams t try t slve big prblems is what gave us the cmputer and the Internet.Tday,we fail t give attentin t planting the seeds f this kind f ambitius research,while cmplaining abut the harvest. "Cmpanies are really gd at cmbining existing breakthrughs in ways that cnsumers like.But the breakthrughs cme frm patient and curius scientists,nt the rush t market," says Jn Gertner,the authr f The Idea Factry.
"Technlgy is a tall tree, " Jhn Fernald said. "But planting the seeds f inventin and harvesting the fruit f innvatin are entirely distinct skills,ften mastered by different rganizatins and separated by many years. " As fr me,bth f them are essential fr technlgy,althugh they are relatively independent.I dn't think X is a planter r a harvester,actually.It is like building taller ladders.Nbdy knws fr sure what,if anything,the emplyees at such enterprises are ging t find up n thse ladders.But they're reaching.At least smene is.
(1)What is the main purpse f the first tw paragraphs?
A.T present the prcess f grup discussin.
B.T illustrate X's wrry abut big prblems.
C.T reveal the imprtance f the crazy ideas.
D.T stress the varied backgrunds f the team.
(2)What can we learn frm the passage?
A.Breakthrughs must stand the test f the market.
B.Innvatin n necessities can prmte prductivity.
C.Inventin develps slwly under the pressure f prfit.
D.The harvest f innvatin lies in sme ambitius research.
(3)Regarding Jhn Fernald's view n technlgy,the authr is .
A.supprtive
B.cautius
C.uncertain
D.critical
(4)What can be inferred abut X frm the passage?
A.It will fcus n innvatin.
B.It will have its utcme sn.

passage 2
Technlgy seems t.discurage slw,immersive reading.Reading n a screen,particularly a phne screen,tires yur eyes and makes it harder fr yu t keep yur place.S nline writing tends t be mre skimmable and list﹣like than print.The cgnitive neurscientist Mary Walt argued recently that this "new nrm" f skim reading is prducing "an invisible,game﹣changing transfrmatin" in hw readers prcess wrds.The neurnal circuit that sustains the brain's capacity t read nw favrs the rapid absrptin f infrmatin,rather than skills develped by deeper reading,like critical analysis.
We shuldn't verplay this danger.All readers skim.Skimming is the skill we acquire as children as we learn t read mre skillfully.Frm abut the age f nine,ur eyes start t bunce arund the page,reading nly abut a quarter f the wrds prperly,and filling in the gaps by inference.Nr is there anything new in these fears abut declining attentin spans (持续时间).S far,the anxieties have prved t be false alarms. "Quite a few critics have been wrried abut attentin span lately and see very shrt stries as signs f cultural decline, " the American authr Selvin Brwn wrte. "N ne ever said that pems were evidence f shrt attentin spans. "
And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read.Fr a start,it means that there is mre t read,because mre peple than ever are writing.If yu time travelled just a few decades int the past,yu wuld wnder at hw little writing was happening utside a classrm.And digital writing is meant fr rapid release and respnse.An nline article starts frming a cmment string underneath as sn as it is published.This mde f writing and reading can be interactive and fun.But ften it treats ther peple's wrds as smething t be quickly harvested as fdder (素材)t say smething else.Everyne talks ver the tp f everyne else,desperate t be heard.
Perhaps we shuld slw dwn.Reading is cnstantly prmted as a scial gd and surce f persnal achievement.But this advcacy ften emphasizes "enthusiastic", "passinate" r "eager" reading,nne f which adjectives suggest slw,quiet absrptin.
T a slw reader,a piece f writing can nly be fully understd by immersing neself in the wrds and their slw cmprehensin f a line f thught.The slw reader is like a swimmer wh stps cunting the number f pl laps he has dne and just enjys hw his bdy feels and mves in water.
The human need fr this kind f deep reading is t tenacius fr any new technlgy t destry.We ften assume that technlgical change can't be stpped and happens in ne directin,s that lder media like "dead﹣tree" bks are kicked ut by newer,mre virtual frms.In practice,lder technlgies can cexist with new nes.The Kindle has nt killed ff the printed bk any mre than the car killed ff the bicycle.We still want t enjy slwly﹣frmed ideas and carefully﹣chsen wrds.Even in a fast﹣mving age,there is time fr slw reading.

【答案】(1)﹣(4)ABCA
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了实际上,旧技术可以与新技术共存。Kindle并没有扼杀印刷书籍,就像汽车没有扼杀自行车一样。我们仍然想享受慢慢形成的想法和精心选择的词语。即使在一个快速发展的时代,也有时间进行慢速阅读。
【解答】(1)观点态度题。根据文章第二段"Quite a few critics have been wrried abut attentin span lately and see very shrt stries as signs f cultural decline, " the American authr Selvin Brwn wrte. "N ne ever said that pems were evidence f shrt attentin spans. "(美国作家塞尔文•布朗(Selvin Brwn)写道:"最近,相当多的评论家对注意力持续时间感到担忧,并将短篇小说视为文化衰落的迹象。""没有人说过诗歌是注意力持续时间短的证据. ")和最后一段Even in a fast﹣mving age,there is time fr slw reading.(即使在一个快速发展的时代,也有时间进行慢速阅读。)可知作者对塞尔文•布朗的意见持赞成态度。A.Favrable.支持的;B.Critical.批评的;C.Dubtful.怀疑的;D.Objective.客观的。故选A。
(2)推理判断题。根据文章第三段And digital writing is meant fr rapid release and respnse.An nline article starts frming a cmment string underneath as sn as it is published.This mde f writing and reading can be interactive and fun.But ften it treats ther peple's wrds as smething t be quickly harvested as fdder (素材)t say smething else.Everyne talks ver the tp f everyne else,desperate t be heard.(数字写作意味着快速发布和响应。一篇在线文章一发表就开始在下面形成评论串。这种写作和阅读的模式可以是互动的和有趣的。但往往它把别人的话当成了可以快速收获的东西,当成了评论某件事情的素材。每个人都比别人说得多,渴望被别人听到。)可知B.digital writing leads t t much speaking and nt enugh reflectin(数字写作导致说得太多,反思不够)符合题意。故选B。
(3)猜测词义题。根据文章最后一段The human need fr this kind f deep reading is t tenacius fr any new technlgy t destry.We ften assume that technlgical change can't be stpped and happens in ne directin,s that lder media like "dead﹣tree" bks are kicked ut by newer,mre virtual frms.(人类对这种深度阅读的需求太过强烈,任何新技术都无法摧毁。我们经常假设技术变革是无法停止的,并且发生在一个方向上,所以像"死树"书这样的旧媒体被更新、更虚拟的形式所淘汰。)可知tenacius的意思是"顽强的,持久的"。A.Cmprehensive.全面的;B.Cmplicated.复杂的;C.Determined.有决心的,顽强的;D.Apparent.明显的。故选C。
(4)标题归纳题。根据文章最后一段In practice,lder technlgies can cexist with new nes.The Kindle has nt killed ff the printed bk any mre than the car killed ff the bicycle.We still want t enjy slwly﹣frmed ideas and carefully﹣chsen wrds.Even in a fast﹣mving age,there is time fr slw reading.(实际上,旧技术可以与新技术共存。Kindle并没有扼杀印刷书籍,就像汽车没有扼杀自行车一样。我们仍然想享受慢慢形成的想法和精心选择的词语。即使在一个快速发展的时代,也有时间进行慢速阅读。)可知本文的最佳标题是A.Slw Reading Is Here t Stay(慢速阅读会一直持续下去)。故选A。
passage 3
Learning desn't have t end when peple age.In fact,tday's senirs want t remain scially engaged,intellectually stimulated(智力上活跃的),and an active part f their cmmunities accrding t The American University Beirut(AUB)in Lebann.That's why AUB pened The University fr Senirs that gives lder adults—50 and up—an pprtunity fr lifelng learning.
"The gal f the prgram is t establish a cmmunity fr senirs t learn fr life,mst f whm are retirees,"Mira Zaatari,the prgram assistant manager tld Al﹣Fanar Media."They can stay engaged physically and mentally here."
The university includes tw three﹣mnth semesters and students can take any class they want regardless f their educatinal level.There are n exams r graduatin certificates.This schl is all abut lifelng learning.The available classes include plitical science,public health,agriculture,sciences,wmen's affairs as well as creative classes abut drawing,painting and music.Language classes include English,French and Spanish.The classes are taught by vlunteers,including AUB prfessrs,students,and dctrs frm the university's hspital.
Senirs can gain a hst f benefits by cntinuing t learn new things.Accrding t Aging Well,that's because lifelng learning keeps the brain stimulated,challenged and fully engaged."This helps senirs remain mentally alert while they age.In fact,when peple learn new things,the brain—even an lder brain—can frm new cnnectins and pathways,"it adds.
Keeping physically active is imprtant and s is keeping scial cnnectins.That's why the university prvides mre than just educatin.
Frmer banker Yussef Bakri,84,has been a student fr ver 10 years.He pinted ut that befre the pandemic the university garden was used as a meeting place fr scializatin and that there were rganized field trips.
With the percentage f ver 65s in Lebann's ppulatin grwing and the fact that many f these senirs live alne withut family members in the cuntry,The University fr Senirs is playing a very imprtant rle in the lives f its students.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国贝鲁特大学开设的老年大学。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第二段The gal f the prgram is t establish a cmmunity fr senirs t learn fr life,mst f whm are retirees(该项目的目标是为老年人建立一个终身学习的社区,其中大多数是退休人员。)可知,美国贝鲁特大学开设老年大学是为了给老年人提供一个可以终身学习的地方。故答案为D。
(2)细节理解题。根据第三段The university includes tw three﹣mnth semesters and students can take any class they want regardless f their educatinal level(这所大学包括两个为期三个月的学期,学生可以参加任何他们想要的课程,无论他们的教育水平如何。)可知,老年大学的学生可以自由选择他们想上的课。故答案为C。
(3)推理判断题。第四段的首句Senirs can gain a hst f benefits by cntinuing t learn new things(老年人通过学习新东西可以获益良多),接着Aging Well提到This helps senirs remain mentally alert while they age.In fact,when peple learn new things,the brain—even an lder brain—can frm new cnnectins and pathways(这是因为终身学习使大脑受到刺激,受到挑战并完全投入。这有助于老年人在变老时依然保持思维敏捷。事实 上,当人们学习新事物时,大脑﹣﹣甚至是老年人的大脑﹣﹣可以形成新的连接和路径。)由此可知,第四段提到Aging Well主要是解释为什么学习能够使老年人受益。故答案为A。
(4)推理判断题。根据最后一段With the percentage f ver 65s in Lebann's ppulatin grwing and the fact that many f these senirs live alne withut family members in the cuntry,The University fr Senirs is playing a very imprtant rle in the lives f its students.(随着黎巴嫩65岁以上人口的比例不断增长,以及许多老年人在国内没有家人的情况下独自生活,老年大学在学生的生活中发挥着非常重要的作用。)可推断,作者认为,这所老年大学对它的学生来说意义重大。故答案为C。
passage 1
Cmputer games have seriusly caught the attentin f Mass Media.The increasing amunt f games with vilent scenes scks the sciety and makes it very aware f them.The fact that vilent games cause vilence in peple is nt even dubted by mst peple.Sme say that the reasn lies in games being t clse t reality.But is it justified nly accrding t the external similarity f these tw wrlds?
Games riginally are entertainment.Cntemprary games are very realistic and fr this reasn they are a surce f great experience fr the player and develp the imaginatin.Games are mre than entertainment.The research f the New Yrk University led by Green and Bavelier claims that the player preferring active games get an imprvement f sme types f brain activity,related t prcessing f visual infrmatin.In particular,game players cpe with prblems f simultaneusly(同时地)tracking several mving bjects at the average level f 30%better than peple wh d nt play active cmputer vide games.A game is an abstractin.A player gets abstract tasks and acts accrding t abstract rules.Games are als the pssibility t be whever a persn wants t be and t rest frm the utside wrld fr sme time.
But what if a persn gets s much excited with the game scenes that he becmes vilent in reality?Then,it prves that the games cause peple t becme vilent.A psychlgically healthy persn will never cnfuse r cnnect these tw different wrlds.A game is a virtual wrld with visual images very similar t human.These images represent by themselves nthing but simple playing bstacles.A game may ptentially give the pprtunity t"destry the bstacles"that may nt be destryed accrding t the rules,but it is mre abut persnal chice whether t d it r nt.This leads us t the cnclusin that vilence is nt a cnsequence but the cause.Peple wh riginally tend t vilence may get annyed by games and perfrm vilence in the"real wrld".In this case vilence in games is a simple justificatin f the vilent nature f the player.
(1)Which f the fllwing best explains"sck"underlined in Para.1?
A.Transfrm.
B.Strike.
C.Interest.
D.Cnfuse.
(2)What can we learn frm the research carried ut by Green and Bavelier?
A.Games can prmte sme kinds f brain activity.
B.Games can give peple space t be themselves.
C.Games can be a surce f great experience.
D.Games can help players slve prblems.
(3)Which f the fllwing accunts fr vilence in real life?
A.Abstract vilent tasks.
B.Vilent visual images.
C.Realistic cmputer games.
D.Individuals' vilent nature.
(4)What is the best title fr the text?
A.Vilence:Nt a Cnsequence f Games.
B.Vilence:Nt a Justificatin f Players.
C.Games:The Vilent Virtual Reality.
D.Games:The Cause f Vilence.
【答案】BADA
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了暴力行为的原因不是游戏,而是暴力天性。
【解答】(1)词义猜测题,根据文章第一段Cmputer games have seriusly caught the attentin f Mass Media.(电脑游戏已经严重地引起了大众媒体的注意。)和下文and makes it very aware f them.(并让它非常清楚地意识到它们。)可知,大量暴力游戏充斥着社会,并让社会清楚地意识到它们。由此猜测,划线词意为"充斥",与strike(袭击,侵袭)同义。可引申为使社会印象深刻,A.Transfrm转变;B.Strike侵袭;C.Interest感兴趣;D.Cnfuse困惑。故选B。
(2)细节理解题。根据文章第二段The research f the New Yrk University led by Green and Bavelier claim that the player preferring active games get an imprvement f sme types f brain activity,related t prcessing f visual infrmatin.(由Green和Bavelier领导的纽约大学的研究声称,喜欢活跃游戏的玩家可以提高某些类型的大脑活动,与视觉信息的处理有关。)可知,从Green和Bavelier的研究中我们能得知,游戏可以促进某些类型的大脑活动。故选A。
(3)细节理解题。根据后一段This leads us t the cnclusin that vilence is nt a cnsequence but the cause.Peple wh are riginally prne t vilence may get irritated by games and perfrm vilence in the"real wrld".In this case vilence in games is a simple justificatin f the vilent nature f the player(这使我们得出结论,暴力不是结果,而是原因。原本有暴力倾向的人可能会被游戏激怒,在现实世界"中实施暴力。在这种情况下,游戏中的暴力只是为玩家的暴力本性辩护)可知,现实中的暴力原因在于一个人的暴力天性。故选D。
(4)标题判断题。本文主要讲游戏和暴力之间的关系,第一段引出主题,第二段介绍游戏的功能与优点;第三段说明游戏和暴力之间的关系。根据文章最后一段Peple wh are riginally prne t vilence may get iritated by games and perfrm vilence in the"real wrld".In this case vilence in games is a simple justificatin f the vilent nature f the player(原本有暴力倾向的人可能会被游戏激怒,在现实世界"中实施暴力。在这种情况下,游戏中的暴力只是为玩家的暴力本性辩护。)可知,有暴力倾向的人本身就会因为游戏而被激怒并在现实生活中实施暴力行为,其根本原因不是由暴力游戏引起,所以A选项Vilence:Nt a Cnsequence f Games.(暴力:不是游戏的后果。)能概括全文内容,适合用作文章标题。故选A。
passage 5
Many peple have participated int lts f virtual meetings these years.Sme research shws this adjustment might nt impact wrkplace prductivity t any great degree.A new study,thugh,suggests therwise.
In the study,602 participants were randmly paired and asked t cme up with creative uses fr a prduct.They were als randmly selected t wrk tgether either in persn r virtually.The pairs were then ranked by assessing their ttal number f ideas,as well as thse cncepts' degree f nvelty,and asked t submit their best idea.Amng the grups,virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas,suggesting that smething abut face﹣t﹣face interactin generates mre creative ideas.The findings culd stiffen emplyers' reslve t urge r require their emplyees t cme back t the ffice.
"We ran this experiment based n feedback frm cmpanies that it was harder t innvate with remte wrkers,"said lead researcher Melanie Brucks."Unlike ther frms f virtual cmmunicatin,like phne calls r e﹣mail,vide cnferencing cpies the in﹣persn experience quite well,s I was surprised when we fund meaningful differences between in﹣persn and vide interactin fr idea generatin."
When randm bjects were placed in bth the virtual and physical rms,the virtual pairs f participants spent mre time lking directly at each ther rather than letting their lk wander abut the rm and taking in the entire scene.Eyeing ne's whle envirnment and nticing the randm bjects were assciated with increased idea generatin.On platfrms,the screen ccupies ur interactins.Our lk wavers less."Lking away might cme acrss as rude,"said Brucks,"s we have t lk at the screen because that is the defined cntext f the interactin,the same way we wuldn't walk t anther rm while talking t smene in persn."
Like mst educatrs,Brucks has primarily taught virtually in the past three years,and she did ntice sme benefits f the apprach as well.Her students were mre likely t take turns speaking and her shyer students spke up mre ften,rid f the anxiety that cmes frm addressing a large classrm.Brucks fund that ne slutin t imprving virtual idea generatin might be t simply turn ff the camera,fr her students felt "freer"and mre creative when asked t d s.And this may be sund advice fr the wrkplace Virtual teamwrk can't replace face﹣t﹣face teamwrk.Idea selectin prficiency(能力) is nly valuable if yu have strng ptins t select frm,and face﹣t﹣face teams are the best means t generate winning ptins.Perhaps the wrkplace will find a cmprmise— a sweet spt in the middle that balances wrking frm bth hme and ffice.
(1)What des the underlined wrd"stiffen"in Paragraph2 mst prbably mean?
A.Shake.
B.Revise.
C.Challenge.
D.Strengthen.
(2)At first,lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that .
A.vide cnferencing can't cmpare with in﹣persn cmmunicatin
B.participants shuld make eye cntact in an nline meeting
C.the feedback frm cmpanies seems questinable
D.creative ideas may emerge frm casual thughts
(3)What can we learn abut Brucks' class?
A.Her students relieved anxiety by speaking up.
B.Her students prgressed in fcusing attentin.
C.Her students tk advantage f virtual learning.
D.Her students displayed talent fr public speaking.
(4)Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A.Interacting Virtually Impacts Wrking Participatin
B.Maintaining Teamwrk Imprves Idea Generatin
C.Gruping Randmly Increases Prductivity
D.Brainstrming Online Limits Creativity
【答案】DCCD
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现:与面对面交流相比,虚拟会议不利于创新想法的产生。
【解答】(1)词句猜测题。根据第二段中Amng the grups,virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas,suggesting that smething abut face﹣t﹣face interactin generates mre creative ideas.The findings culd stiffen emplyers' reslve t urge r require their emplyees t cme back t the ffice.(在这些小组中,虚拟配对提出的想法要少得多,这表明面对面的互动会产生更多创造性的想法。这一发现可能会坚定雇主敦促或要求员工回到办公室的决心。)可知,面对面交流会产生更多创造性的想法,所以雇主要求员工回到办公室进行面对面的互动,此处stiffen emplyers' reslve表示"坚定雇主的决心",划线词stiffen是动词,意为"使坚定"。A.Shake.摇动;B.Revise.修订;C.Challenge.挑战;D.Strengthen.使更加坚定。选项D与划线词意思接近,故选D。
(2)推理判断题。根据第三段内容 "We ran this experiment based n feedback frm cmpanies that it was harder t innvate with remte wrkers,"said lead researcher Melanie Brucks."Unlike ther frms f virtual cmmunicatin,like phne calls r e﹣mail,vide cnferencing cpies the in﹣persn experience quite well,s I was surprised when we fund meaningful differences between in﹣persn and vide interactin fr idea generatin."(首席研究员Melanie Brucks说:"我们进行这项实验是基于公司的反馈,即远程工作者更难创新。与电话或电子邮件等其他形式的虚拟交流不同,视频会议很好地复制了面对面的体验,所以当我们发现面对面交流和视频互动在创意产生方面有明显的差异时,我很惊讶。)可知,公司反馈远程工作者更难创新,所以他们组织实验来进行验证,结果发现面对面交流和视频互动在创意产生方面有明显的差异,首席研究员Melanie Brucks对此感到很惊讶。由此推断,起初,首席研究员Melanie Brucks可能认为公司的反馈有问题。故选C。
(3)推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Like mst educatrs,Brucks has primarily taught virtually in the past three years,and she did ntice sme benefits f the apprach as well.Her students were mre likely t take turns speaking and her shyer students spke up mre ften,rid f the anxiety that cmes frm addressing a large classrm.(像大多数教育工作者一样,布鲁克斯在过去三年主要是虚拟教学,她也注意到这种方法的一些好处。她的学生更有可能轮流发言,她那些比较害羞的学生也更经常发言,消除了在大教室讲话时的焦虑。)可知,布鲁克斯的虚拟课堂上,学生可能轮流发言,连害羞的学生也能经常发言,由此可推知,他的学生能充分利用虚拟学习。故选C。
(4)标题归纳题。通读全文,并根据第一段Many peple have participated int lts f virtual meetings these years.Sme research shws this adjustment might nt impact wrkplace prductivity t any great degree.A new study,thugh,suggests therwise.(这些年来,许多人参加了许多虚拟会议。一些研究表明,这种调整可能不会在很大程度上影响工作场所的生产力。然而,一项新的研究表明情况并非如此。)以及第二段中Amng the grups,virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas,suggesting that smething abut face﹣t﹣face interactin generates mre creative ideas.The findings culd stiffen emplyers' reslve t urge r require their emplyees t cme back t the ffice.(在这些小组中,虚拟配对提出的想法要少得多,这表明面对面的互动会产生更多创造性的想法。这一发现可能会坚定雇主敦促或要求员工回到办公室的决心。)可知,虚拟会议不利于创新想法的产生,选项D"网上头脑风暴限制创造力"符合文章主旨,适合作文章标题。故选D。

Artificial intelligence helps teachers identify which f their students have learning difficulties,accrding t a new study.
Teachers make mre accurate assessments f learning difficulties amng their students if they are given Al﹣generated feedback (反馈) rather than an "expert slutin" written by a qualified prfessinal.Researchers believe that because the AI analyzed the teacher's wn wrk,it's easier fr the teacher t understand than a "mdel answer" prepared befrehand.
"Teachers play a critical rle in recgnizing the signs f disrders and learning difficulties in pupils and referring them t specialists," said Riikka Hfmann. "Unfrtunately,many f them feel that they have nt had sufficient pprtunity t practice these skills.AI culd prvide an extra level f individualized feedback t help them develp these essential cmpetences."
Trainee teachers were asked t assess fictinalized students fr ptential learning difficulties,based n evidence including examples f their wrk,schl behavir recrds and written texts f cnversatins with parents.Half f the trainees received the "expert slutin",typical f the material given t trainee teachers,while the ther half received AI﹣generated feedback n their apprach,highlighting where they culd imprve.The trainees then cmpleted similar fllw﹣up assessments,and were graded bth n the accuracy f their diagnses (诊断) and n hw well they had used the evidence.Trainees wh received the AI feedback scred significantly higher than thse wh wrked with the pre﹣written expert slutins.
While the researchers said this des nt mean AI is preferable t ne﹣t﹣ne feedback frm a skilled expert,this is nt always available fr trainee teachers. "We are nt arguing that AI shuld replace teacher﹣educatrs:new teachers still need expert guidance n hw t recgnize learning difficulties in the first place," said Dr Michael Sailer. "It des seem,hwever,that AI﹣generated feedback helped these trainees t fcus n what they really needed t learn.When persnal feedback is nt readily available,it culd be an effective substitute (代替物)."
(1)What des the underlined wrd "them" refer t?
A.Pupils.

(2)推理判断题。由本文第二自然段The first step is t get a sense f hw yur self﹣perceptin (hw yu see yurself) differs frm yur reputatin (hw thers see yu).This is especially true fr the develpment f EI because we can be blind t hw we express and read the emtinal cmpnents f ur interactins.Fr example,mst f us think that we're gd listeners,but very ften that's really nt the case.Withut this external reality check,it will be difficult fr yu t identify the ways that yur actins affect yur perfrmance.Getting feedback frm thers can als prvide prf f the necessity f shifting ur behavir and mtivatin t d s.(第一步是弄清楚你的自我认知(你如何看待自己)和你的声誉(别人如何看待你)有何不同。对于情商的发展来说尤其如此,因为我们可能对我们如何表达和阅读我们互动中的情感成分视而不见。例如,我们大多数人都认为自己是好的倾听者,但事实往往并非如此。如果没有这种______,你就很难确定你的行为是如何影响你的表现的。从别人那里得到反馈也可以证明我们改变行为的必要性和动机。)可知划线词external reality check指的是"外部现实检查",B.Yur teacher directed yu twards a better attitude in study.(你的老师教导你要有更好的学习态度。)就是一种外部现实检查。故选B。
(3)段落大意题。由本文第四自然段的内容Secndly,when yu get yur feedback frm an assessment,let that infrm what yu want t imprve.But als cnsider what yur gals are.When it cmes t cultivating strengths in emtinal intelligence,yu're at a huge disadvantage if yu're nly interested because thers say yu shuld be.Yur emtinal intelligence is s tied up in yur sense f self that being intrinsically(内在的) mtivated t make the effrt matters mre when changing lngstanding habits than it des when simply learning a skill.(其次,当你从评估中得到反馈时,让它告诉你想要改进的地方。但也要考虑你的目标是什么。当谈到培养情商的优势时,如果你只是因为别人说你应该感兴趣,你就会处于巨大的劣势。你的情商与你的自我意识密切相关,所以在改变长期的习惯时,内在的动力更重要,而不仅仅是学习一项技能。)可知第四段主要讲述了当你想提高情商时,你应该考虑你的目标。故选C。
(4)推理判断题。由本文第一自然段In ur wrk cnsulting with cmpanies and caching leaders,we have fund that if yu're lking t develp particular EI strengths,it helps t cnsider areas fr imprvement thers have identified alng with the gals yu want t achieve﹣and then t actively build habits in thse areas rather than simply relying n understanding them cnceptually.(在与公司咨询和指导领导者的工作中,我们发现,如果你想要发展特定的情商优势,考虑其他人已经确定的改进领域以及你想要实现的目标,然后积极地在这些领域建立习惯,而不是简单地依赖于概念上的理解是有帮助的。)可知作者可能会同意的是有效的情商发展取决于不同的因素。故选A。

A new kind f slar panel,develped at the University f Michigan,has achieved high efficiency in transfrming water int hydrgen and xygen—imitating a crucial step in natural phtsynthesis(光合作用).The utdr versin f the experiment,with less reliable sunlight and temperature,achieved 6.1% efficiency at turning the energy frm the sun int hydrgen fuel.Hwever,indrs,the system achieved 9% efficiency.
But the biggest benefit is driving dwn the cst f sustainable hydrgen.This is enabled by reducing the size f the semicnductr(半导体),typically the mst expensive part f the device.The team's self﹣healing semicnductr withstands cncentrated light equivalent t 160 suns.
"We believe that artificial phtsynthesis devices will be much mre efficient than natural phtsynthesis,which will prvide a path tward carbn neutrality," said Zetian Mi,U﹣M prfessr f electrical and cmputer engineering wh led the study reprted in Nature.
The new technlgy has tw advances.The first is the ability t cncentrate the sunlight withut destrying the semicnductr that traps the light. "We reduced the size f the semicnductr by mre than 100 times cmpared t sme semicnductrs nly wrking at lw light intensity," said Peng Zhu,U﹣M research fellw in electrical and cmputer engineering and first authr f the study. "Hydrgen prduced by ur technlgy culd be very cheap."
And the secnd is using bth the higher energy part f the slar spectrum(光谱) t break dwn water and the lwer part f the spectrum t prvide heat that encurages the reactin.The magic is enabled by a semicnductr catalyst(催化剂) that imprves itself with use,resisting the degradatin(降解) that such catalysts usually experience when they trap sunlight t drive chemical reactins.
The next challenges the team intends t tackle are t further imprve the efficiency and t achieve superhigh purity hydrgen that can be directly fed int fuel cells.

passage 14
First the rbts came fr ur jbs.Nw they're cming fr ur hbbies.Ggle's DeepMind AI lab has been busy the past few years,creating prgrams t take n human players acrss a variety f games.In 2016 its AlphaG beat the best G player in the wrld.Earlier this year,its Alpha Star defeated tw middle﹣tier players at the ppular nline game StarCraft II.Nw it's learning t win at multiplayer games.
"Artificially intelligent agents are getting better and better at tw﹣player games,but mst real﹣wrld endeavrs require teamwrk," DeepMind's researchers wrte in a paper published in Science in June.
T be sure,cmputers have been prving their dminance (优越) ver humans in ne﹣n﹣ne turn﹣based games such as chess ever since IBM's Deep Blue beat Russian chess master Garry Kasparv in 1997.
Hwever,successfully using teamwrk t win in multiplayer games with cmplex envirnments was difficult t achieve.
Fr this purpse,DeepMind's researchers designed AI agents that taught themselves hw t play first﹣persn game Quake III Arena.The team,led by Max Jaderberg,wrked n a mdified (修改的) versin f Quake III Arena.
The game mde they chse was "Capture (抢) the Flag".All the players must wrk tgether t steal the ther team's flag while safeguarding their wn.
The AI agents "trained" with 12 hurs f game data,then matched up against prfessinal game testers.The AI wn 75 percent f the time,even when its reactin time artificially slwed dwn t human levels and when their aiming ability was similarly reduced.
And in rder t make imprvements,the prgrammers used varius kinds f "rewards" t help the AI players weigh their gals and actins t help them cperate in the teamwrk.They als used randmized maps fr each new match.
"That meant the slutins that the agents find have t be general– they cannt just memrize a sequence (系列) f actins," said c﹣authr Wjciech Czarnecki.
The nly time humans were able t beat the AI agents was when they teamed up tgether.A team cnsisting f ne human and ne AI agent had a five percent greater win prbability than a team f just AI agents.
Ethan Gach said at the vide game news website Ktaku, "It suggests that the AI prgram is able t adapt t playing with nn﹣AI teammates." In the near future,AI may cperate with human beings in sme ther fields,such as medicine and ther branches f science.
(1)What might be the mst difficult task fr AI agents in multiplayer games?
A.Understanding the rules.
B.Cperating with ther players.
C.Memrizing cmplex actins.
D.Increasing reactin speed.
(2)Hw did the researchers f Ggle's DeepMind train AI agents?
A.They gave varius "punishments" when AI agents lst the games.
B.They made AI agents team up with nn﹣prfessinal human players.
C.They limited the time fr AI agents t cmplete difficult tasks.
D.They put them thrugh thusands f games with different situatins.
(3)What des Gach mean in the last paragraph?
A.AI players perfrm better than humans in a team game.
B.AI prgrams shuld be ffered mre game data.
C.AI players are able t d well with human players.
D.AI prgrams have been successfully applied in the field f medicine.
(4)The underlined wrd "randmized" in Paragraph 8 can be understd as .
A.generalized
B.specialized
C.updated
D.memrized
(5)What's the best title f this passage?
A.Researches n DeepMind AI

Teaching artificial intelligence t understand simple physics cncepts,such as that ne slid bject can't ccupy the same space as anther,culd lead t mre capable sftware that takes less cmputatinal resurces t train,say researchers at DeepMind.
Nw,Luis Pilt at DeepMind and his clleagues have created an AI called Physics Learning thrugh Aut﹣encding and Tracking Objects (PLATO) that is designed t understand that the physical wrld is cmpsed f bjects that fllw basic physical laws.
The researchers trained PLATO t identify bjects and their interactins by using simulated(模 拟的)vides f bjects mving as we wuld expect,such as balls falling t the grund,rlling behind each ther and buncing ff each ther.They als gave PLATO data shwing which pixels(像素) in every frame r pht belnged t each bject.T test PLATO's ability t understand five physical cncepts,such as slidity,persistence (that an bject desn't tend t vanish) and unchangingness (that an bject tends t retain features like shape and clur),the researchers used anther series f simulated vides.Sme shwed bjects beying the laws f physics,while thers depicted ridiculus actins.They tasked PLATO t predict what wuld happen next in each vide,and fund that its predictins were reliably wrng fr nnsensical vides,but usually crrect fr lgical nes,suggesting the AI has an intuitive(直觉的)knwledge f physics.
Pilt says the results shw that an bject﹣centric view f the wrld culd give an AI a mre generalised and adaptable set f abilities. "If yu cnsider,fr instance,all the different scenes that an apple might be in," he says. "Yu dn't have t learn abut an apple n a tree,versus an apple in yur kitchen,versus an apple in the garbage.When yu kind f separate the apple as its wn thing,yu're in a better psitin t generalise hw it behaves in new systems,in new cntexts.It prvides learning efficiency."
"This is smewhat like teaching a kid what a car is by first teaching them what wheels and seats are,"Chen Feng at New Yrk University says."The benefit f using bject﹣centric representatin,instead f raw visual inputs,makes AI learn intuitive physical cncepts with better data efficiency."
