UNIT 12 课时跟踪检测(三) 语言技能应用练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A William Faulkner kept the words flowing with his favorite drink. Ernest Hemingway stopped writing just when the story got good, so he'd always know where to pick up the next day. But perhaps the next generation of writers may receive help from robots that do the hard work for them. A new technology, put forward by Robin Sloan, an American author, is to use artificial intelligence (AI) to provide ideas for a novel, an email or other articles when a writer is searching for the best way to express himself or herself. “They can use grammar and put words together in interesting ways，” Robin Sloan said at the Real Future Fair. Sloan created a writing bot (a computer program) and had it read all of his old science-fiction magazines from the 1960s and 1970s. The program read and learned the styles of those old-school stories. At the fair, Sloan worked with the audience to create the beginning of a story：“A long, long time from now in Oakland there was a robot designed to destroy all the high families. The high families were the ones of course who owned the seasons.” Let's be honest. This is not a novel like one written by US writer Ray Bradbury. But something very similar to this writing bot could be a useful tool for gaining inspiration. “I am 100 percent sure that some years from now it will be used in a lot of situations，” Sloan said. “For example, AI programs could read all of a company's emails, so that an employee who is trying to get a point across will have suggestions that are in keeping with the company's style，” Sloan said. “Or perhaps the next big movie hit will be written by screenplay writers who get excellent ideas from a writing bot，” he said. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。美国作家Robin Sloan发明了一项人工智能技术，可以帮助作家创作小说。 1．How may AI help the new generation of writers?
