Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题2.5分,共20分)
A
Never play games with a bot (robot)—it will find a way to cheat if it can.A team from OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco, has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hideandseek.The bots also learned how to use basic tools to help win.
Bowen Baker at OpenAI and his colleagues wanted to see if the teambased dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to produce skills that could one day be useful to humans.
The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的)environment filled with fixed walls, movable boxes and ladders, and left them to play team games of hideandseek.The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn't communicate with each other directly.
At first, the hiders simply ran away.But they soon worked out that the quickest way to stop the seekers was to find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view.The seekers learned that they could move boxes around and use them to climb over walls.The bots then discovered that being a teamplayer—passing objects to each other or cooperating on a hideout— was the quickest way to win.
But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults.Seekers found that if they pushed a ladder towards a wall, they could launch themselves into the air and spot hiders from above.Hiders found that they could get rid of the ladders by pushing them aside.
It shows that AI bots are able to find solutions that humans miss, says Baker.“Maybe they'll even be able to solve problems that humans don't yet know how to.”However, it is a large leap from virtual hideandseek to real problemsolving.“The main limitation is that it is in simulation,”says Chelsea Finn at Stanford University.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能团队开发一种通过玩捉迷藏自学合作技能的人工智能机器人并探究其将来能否帮助人类解决问题。

3.What does the underlined word“It”in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Passing objects.
B.Moving boxes around.
C.Making use of faults.
D.Hiding themselves from view.
解析:选C。词义猜测题。根据第五段第一句“But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults.”可知,但真正令人惊讶的是机器人开始利用问题或失误,且第五段给出了相应的例子;结合最后一段第一句可以判断,该句主语It指代的是“机器人利用错误”,故C项正确。
4.What does Chelsea think of the finding of the research?
A.It can bridge a gap in the AI research.
B.It will not be influenced by the real world.

(2024·河南省郑州市高二下期中)Since 2001, robotic tools have greatly affected the practice of surgery (外科手术).They have reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.
One example is “keyhole surgery”, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient.But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two joysticks (操纵杆) to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor (癌症肿瘤).“My colleague said that this feels like cheating,” Ansell said to The Guardian.
Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery.Telesurgery, or remote surgery, is the use of technology that allows a surgeon to perform a procedure on a patient not in the same physical location.
Normally, telesurgery relies on a wired connection for fear that a wireless connection drops during surgery.But China has made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.
China achieved the first 5Gbased remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN.More recently, a team of surgeons successfully completed remote micronlevel eye surgery on rabbits located in a different city, reported China Daily.The rabbits were at the Sun Yatsen University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, but the surgical team who operated on them via a 5G robot were at the Hainan Eye Hospital in Haikou, Hainan province.
Looking to the future, people hope that remote surgery could become common to help heal injured soldiers on the battlefield while keeping surgeons at a safe distance.Some even believe that robotic systems, combined with AI, could one day surpass (超过) human surgeons.
But, in consideration of current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still have a long way to go.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章主要讲的是随着医疗机器人技术的进步,机器人工具在手术实践中引起了巨大的变化。它们大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求,并使某些手术成为可能。
5.What does the “keyhole surgery” example intend to show?
A.The difficulty of robotic surgery.
B.The progress achieved by robotic tools.
C.The need for advanced 5G technology.
D.The physical challenges surgeons face.
解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第一段可知,第二段“keyhole surgery”是对第一段的举例,即机器人工具带来的进步。故选B项。
6.What great achievement has China made in the field of telesurgery?
A.Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.
B.Completing remote eye surgery on humans successfully.
C.Doing the first wireless brain surgery with 5G technology.
D.Conducting the first 5Gbased remote operation on rabbits.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第五段“China achieved the first 5Gbased remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers, reported CGTN.”可知,中国在远程手术方面实现了第一次基于5G的脑部手术, 在三亚的一名外科医生和北京的一名患者之间进行了脑部手术,距离总计近3 000公里。故选C项。
7.What can be inferred about robots in the medical field?
A.They still need improving.
B.They have been widely adopted.
C.They are currently in great demand.
D.They have surpassed human capabilities.
解析:选A。推理判断题。根据最后一段“But, in consideration of current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still have a long way to go.”可知,机器人运用在医学领域的成本很高,他们的发展还有很长的路要走,还需要不断改善。故选A项。
8.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The benefits of robotic surgery.
B.China's achievements in surgery.
C.The development in medical robotics.
D.The use of 5G technology in robotic surgery.
解析:选C。标题归纳题。根据文章第一段“Since 2001, robotic tools have greatly affected...”以及通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了医疗机器人技术的进步。故选C项。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每题2分,共10分)
(2024·河南省三门峡市高二下期中)The age of space exploration started on April 12, 1961, when the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey to outer space.But why do we go to environments that are dangerous and even deadly to humans? The answer is simple.1. In this article, we'll read the major four benefits of space exploration.
Promote the progress of medicine
2. For example, analyzing the effects of zerogravity (零重力) on blood flow led to many discoveries on how to prevent some heart illnesses.The experiments and measurements of bone strength and bone loss in astronauts have helped doctors better understand bone diseases.
Develop new technologies
The space race has birthed the most technological advancements in the shortest period of time.3. For example, the running shoes were originally developed for astronauts.We use them in our daytoday lives without even knowing that some NASA engineers originally developed them for the Apollo program that took humankind to the moon.
Start space tourism
The biggest dream some of us have is being able to take a trip to outer space.However, it is still too expensive to go to space.As reusable rockets improve, the costs of these trips will become significantly lower.4.
Inspire the next generation
Space exploration stimulates the curiosity of children.5. Not only is this good for them as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) jobs can secure them a comfortable future, but it also helps humans.
A.Technologies have advanced considerably.
B.It gets students interested in science and technology.
C.Hopefully one day they'll be within the reach for all of us.
D.These include stepping up cooperation in space exploration.
E.The benefits of space exploration go beyond the dangers of it.
F.Studying the effects of space travel can lead to some medical benefits.
G.Throughout the years, companies have found consumer uses for many of these developments.
