Some of it is from rockets. In 1996, a rocket broke into about 300,000 small pieces. So far, scientists have found over 10,000 man-made pieces flying around in space. Only 6%—7% of them are satellites and space probes （探测器）.Astronauts also lose small things while working in space. In 1965, during the first American spacewalk, astronaut Edward White lost a glove. For a month, the glove stayed in space, travelling at a speed of 28,000 kilometres per hour. It became the most dangerous piece of clothing for the earth in history. 刷能力 返回目录 28 Things move very fast in space. If they hit （碰撞） one another, it can be dangerous.

Luckily the bolts floated （漂浮） away into space. They could not hit the spacecraft. 刷能力 返回目录 11.Some junk in space is from ___.

It's a question many people have tried to answer. Now scientists have found a new method for finding extraterrestrial （外星的） life forms using artificial intelligence （AI）.AI is a type of program that allows a computer to learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. AI works by taking in a large number of data, then making predictions based on it. 刷能力 返回目录 34 The research team used their AI methods to analyse different materials and determine whether they were biotic （生物的） or abiotic （非生物的）.The AI was also able to tell whether a biotic sample was currently living or a fossil （化石）. To train the AI program, the researchers gave it data on 134 biotic and abiotic materials. The program then used that knowledge to predict whether things like human hair, bones and chemicals were alive or not. The team said the AI was 90% exact. The scientists also think the AI tool could detect alien life forms, even though conditions for life are different on other planets.“If we do find signs of 刷能力 返回目录 life elsewhere, we can tell if life on the earth and other planets derived from a common or different origin,” said Robert Hazen of the Carnegie Institution for Science. Now the team is focused on ancient rock samples from the earth to learn more about life on the earth and where it originated. For example, the tool could be used to settle a disagreement among scientists about 3.5-billion-year-old rocks from Western Australia. Some experts believe they contain the earth's oldest fossil samples, but others think the rocks just have unusual patterns. 刷能力 返回目录 The AI could also be used to examine samples from Mars collected by the Perseverance rover. NASA put this wheeled robot on the red planet to search for evidence （证据） that Mars has the right conditions to support life. 16. 写作手法How does the writer begin the passage?( ) B A.By listing some numbers. B.By asking a question. C.By giving an example. D.By telling a story. 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“Does alien life exist?”可知 作者由设问来引出话题。故选B项。 刷能力 返回目录 37 17.What did the researchers do to train the AI program?( ) A A.The researchers gave it data. B.The researchers analysed different materials. C.The researchers used AI to detect alien life forms. D.The researchers predicted the materials. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To train the AI program, the researchers gave it data on 134 biotic and abiotic materials.”可知研究 人员给了人工智能134种生物和非生物材料的数据来训练它。故选A项。 刷能力 返回目录 38 18.What do you know about AI according to the passage?( ) C A.AI is a type of program that allows a computer to learn from experience and perform tasks without human intelligence. B.AI works by taking in a large number of pictures, then making predictions. C.The scientists think the AI tool could detect alien life forms. D.The team said the AI was 98% exact. 刷能力 返回目录 39 【解析】细节理解题。 A 根据第一段中的“AI is a type of program that allows a computer to learn from experience and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence.”可知选项A错误。 C 根据第四段中的The scientists also think the AI tool could detect alien life forms可知科 学家认为人工智能工具可以探测 外星生命形式，故选项C正确。 B 根据第一段中的“AI works by taking in a large number of data, then making predictions based on it.”可 知人工智能依靠数据预测，而不是照 片，故选项B错误。 D 根据第三段中的“The team said the AI was 90% exact.”可知该 团队表示，人工智能准确率达到 90%，而不是98%，故选项D错误。 刷能力 返回目录 40 19. 篇章结构 What would be the best structure of this passage?( ) D A. B. C. D. 【解析】推理判断题。通读全文可知，第一段引出话题,第二至六段介绍科学家对 人工智能进行的各项研究，由此可知本文为“总分”结构。故选D项。 阅读理解B·语篇导读本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家运用人工智能探测外 星生命的研究。 刷能力 返回目录 41 $$
