Section Ⅲ Learning about language—Discover useful structures
表语从句
语法串烧
我的发现
The Three Laws of Robotics put forward by Isaac Asimov are what we should obey when producing robots in our real life.These rules are also what a film relating to robots tries to display to the audience.In the movie,people's original thought was that robots could live in harmony with human beings.That was because since robots were widely used in various areas,no unpleasant things had happened.That was what man expected.However,with the advancement of technology,the fact was that some robots developed human emotions.It looked as if the robots would take control of human beings.That was what people worried about.
1.what引导表语从句,在从句中常作主语或者宾语。
2.that引导表语从句,在从句中不作成分,没有意义。
3.其他可以引导表语从句的连接词是because,as if等。

问题是我们能让谁去替代她。
Tom is no longer what he used to be.
汤姆不再是以前的汤姆了。
3.连接副词
when,where,why,how,whenever,wherever,however
(1)when,where,why,how意义既有等同于疑问词的意义,也有非疑问意义,如when表示“……的时候”,where表示“……的地方”
(2)-ever词无疑问意义
That was where we camped last time.
那就是我们上次野营的地方。
This is why Sara was late for class.
这就是萨拉上课迟到的原因。

(2024·山东师大附中高二月考)
How intelligent can a computer be? Maybe you can get the answer after reading the following passage about a newly-developed US computer program called SmarterChild and the Internet.
If you run into SmarterChild online,you will be surprised at this kid's huge memory and thinking.He can recite many facts.For example,SmarterChild knows every baseball player in every team this season.
He knows every word in the dictionary and the weather in every major city area across the US.However,if you ask SmarterChild other questions,you will get strange answers.A question about SmarterChild's age is returned,“One year,11 days,16 hours,7 minutes,and 47 seconds!” Asked where he lives,he said,“In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.”
SmarterChild uses the huge information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank.To answer questions about spelling,for instance,SmarterChild goes to the American Heritage Dictionary online.For the weather,he visits www.intellicast.com.
Some scientists believe that by joining the many systems of the Internet,an artificial being with the combined knowledge of,say,Albert Einstein,Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born.However,there are still faults of him.If SmarterChild wants to think and learn on his own like the robot boy David in the movie A.I.Artificial Intelligence,he must solve two problems.
The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are sorted in different ways.That's why programmers need to tell SmarterChild where to look for the weather.It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it himself.
Furthermore,another problem is that while SmarterChild can deal with information more exactly and faster than any human,he lacks common sense—a basic knowledge that is obvious to any young child.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国新开发的电脑程序SmarterChild以及它的功能和存在的问题等。
1.Which of the following can SmarterChild do?
A.Write words.
B.Record facts.
C.Call players' names.
D.Answer personal questions.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知,SmarterChild可以回答年龄、家庭住址这类私人问题。故选 D。
2.What do we know about www.intellicast.com?
A.It is designed to help SmarterChild.
B.It is about artificial intelligence.
C.It helps people find SmarterChild.
D.It can forecast the weather.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“For the weather,he visits www.intellicast.com.”可知,SmarterChild可以访问 www.intellicast.com查询天气信息。由此推知,www.intellicast.com 是一个预报天气的网站。故选 D。
3.Which of the following is the most difficult for SmarterChild?
A.Distinguishing right behaviors from wrong ones.
B.Telling how the American government is run.
C.Providing a famous poem by Shakespeare.
D.Dealing with information accurately.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“he lacks common sense—a basic knowledge that is obvious to any young child”可知,SmarterChild 缺乏对任何小孩子来说都显而易见的常识。结合选项可推知,辨别是非行为的能力是小孩子具备的,但对缺乏这种能力的SmarterChild来说,辨别是非行为却是比较困难的。故选 A。
4.What's the best title for the text?
A.Where is artificial intelligence leading us?
B.Can SmarterChild have critical thinking?
C.How intelligent can SmarterChild be?
D.Does SmarterChild have combined knowledge?
答案:C
解析:标题归纳题。本篇文章是“总—分”结构:第一段提出问题,即计算机能有多智能?接下来几段分析了 SmarterChild的优缺点,所以C项“SmarterChild 能有多智能?”是本文的最佳题目。故选C。

(2024·浙江杭州高二期中)
It seems that people cannot really agree on the question of “What's so funny?” So imagine trying to teach a robot how to laugh.But that's exactly what a team of researchers at Kyoto University in Japan are trying to design—an AI robot that takes its cues through a shared laughter system.The scientists describe their approach to building a funny bone for the Japanese android “Erica” in the latest issue of the journal Frontiers in Robotics and AI.
“We think that one of the important functions of conversational AI is empathy(共鸣),”explained lead author Dr Koji Inoue,an assistant professor at Kyoto University in the Department of Intelligence Science and Technology within the Graduate School of Informatics.“One way a robot can empathize with users is to share their laughter.”
In the shared-laughter model,a human initially laughs and the AI system responds with laughter as an empathetic response.This approach required the scientists to design three subsystems—one to detect laughter,a second to decide whether to laugh,and a third to choose the appropriate type of laughter.The type of laughter is also important,because in some cases a polite chuckle may be more appropriate than a loud snort of laughter.
The team tested Erica's new sense of humor by creating four different short dialogues between a person and Erica with her new shared-laughter system.Then they asked more than 130 people in total to listen to each dialogue in the three different conditions—the shared-laughter system,no laughter,all laughter—and evaluated the interaction based on human-likeness,naturalness and understanding.The shared-laughter system performed better than either baseline.
“Robots should actually have a distinct character,and we think that they can show this through their conversational behavior,such as laughing,eye gazing,gesturing and the speaking style,” Inoue added.“We do not think that this is an easy problem at all,and it may well take more than 10 years before we can once and for all have a casual chat with a robot like we would with a friend.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本京都大学的研究人员设计了一个带有共享笑声系统的人工智能机器人,它可以对人类的笑声作出适当的反应,在对话中建立共鸣。
5.What's the purpose of raising the question “What's so funny?” at the beginning?
A.To show opinions on funny things.
B.To encourage readers to share their ideas.
C.To stress the difficulty of teaching a robot to laugh.
D.To emphasize the importance of being funny.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。第一段前两句谈到,好像人们不能在“什么事这么好笑?”这个问题上取得一致意见。所以想象一下试图教机器人笑。后文介绍了教机器人笑的原因以及研究人员为此所做的很多工作。最后一段最后一句说明了教机器人笑的难度。由此可知,在一开始就提出“什么事这么好笑?”这个问题的目的是强调教机器人笑的难度大。故选C。
6.Which of the following explains the underlined phrase “a funny bone” in Paragraph 1?
A.A sense of humor.
B.A shared-laughter system.
C.A speaking style.
D.A distinct character.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为:科学家在Frontiers in Robotics and AI 期刊最新的一期上描述了他们为日本机器人“Erica”创建 a funny bone 的创新方法。结合第四段第一句可知,画线短语a funny bone 有“幽默感”之意。故选A。
7.What is NOT needed in the research on the shared-laughter system?
A.Designing the subsystem to decide whether to laugh.
B.Assessing the interaction based on emotions.
C.Creating brief conversations between a human and Erica.
D.Asking people to listen to the previously created dialogues.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知,A 项排除;根据第四段内容可知,研究小组用 Erica 新的共享笑声系统,在一个人和Erica 之间创建了四段不同的简短对话,以此来测试 Erica 的新幽默感。然后,他们让130 多人在三种不同的条件下(分享笑声系统、无笑声、全笑声)听每段对话,并根据与人的相似度、自然度和理解力来评估这些交流。由此可知,C、D项排除。故选 B。
8.What is Inoue's attitude towards conversational AI?
A.Indifferent. B.Suspicious.
C.Optimistic. D.Objective.
答案:D
解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段 Inoue 的话“机器人实际上应该具有鲜明的性格,我们认为它们可以通过对话行为表现出这一点,比如大笑、眼神凝视、做手势和说话风格。我们认为这完全不是一个简单的问题,很可能需要10年以上的时间我们才能最终像与朋友聊天一样与机器人随意聊天。”可知,Inoue实事求是地分析了机器人的研究和发展趋势,由此推断,Inoue对对话式人工智能的态度是客观的。故选 D。
Ⅱ.语法填空(每小题1分,共10分)
At Lowe's,the home improvement chain,the “LoweBot” in some stores can answer simple 1. (question),such as where to find items,and can help with monitoring circumstances.These robots free workers 2. routine tasks,giving humans more time for customer interaction.But that's only the beginning.

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了物联网时代的机器人为零售业打开了新格局。
1.答案:questions
解析:考查名词的单复数。提示词 question 在句中表示“问题”,为可数名词,且空前没有限定词,所以应用复数形式。故填 questions。
2.答案:from
解析:考查介词。free sb from sth 表示“使某人摆脱某事”,为固定搭配。故填 from。
3.答案:management
解析:考查词性转换。这里指“提高管理的效率和准确性”。空格处作介词in的宾语,表示“管理”,应用名词,故填 management。
4.答案:a
解析:考查冠词。network前的complex 和后面的 of 短语都是修饰它的定语,所以空后的中心名词为 network,表示“网络”,为可数名词。这里表示泛指,所以用不定冠词,空后的 complex 的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
5.答案:is/are analyzed
解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。空格处作谓语,结合语境和上下文时态可知这里为客观描述,应用一般现在时。主语 data 和提示词 analyze 之间为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。data既可视为不可数名词,又可视为复数名词,故填 is /are analyzed。
6.答案:which
解析:考查定语从句。空前有逗号,逗号后无连词,空后内容缺主语,所以推测逗号后是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词为 photos,指物,空格处在从句中作主语,故填which。
7.答案:especially
解析:考查词性转换。空格处作状语,修饰形容词valuable,应用副词。故填especially。
8.答案:understanding
解析:考查非谓语动词。根据后面的系动词 is 和表语 essential 可知,“ consumers' demands”在从句中作主语,表示抽象的动作,应用动词-ing形式。故填 understanding。
9.答案:provides
解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空格处所在部分是一个非限制性定语从句,关系代词 which 指代先行词 Stitch Fix(为单数概念)在从句中作主语,空格处是从句中的谓语。这里指“Stitch Fix为居家购物者提供量身定做的服装选择”,表示一般事实,所以用一般现在时,故填provides。
10.答案:its
解析:考查代词。空格处修饰名词短语 business model,应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
