◆真题文本
(2023·北京卷)What is life? Like most great questions this one is easy to ask but difficult to answer. The reason is simple: we know of just one type of life and it's challenging to do science with a sample size of one. The field of artificial life-called ALife for short — is the systematic attempt to spell out life's fundamental principles. Many of these practitioners, socalled ALifers, think that somehow making life is the surest way to really understand what life is.
So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field's doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such complaints. Asking about “the point” of ALife might be, well, missing the point entirely, he says. “The existence of a living system is not about the use of anything.” Alan says. “Some people ask me, ‘So what's the worth of artificial life?’ Do you ever think, ‘What is the worth of your grandmother?’”
As much as many ALifers hate emphasizing their research's applications, the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs. Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called openended evolution (演化). This is the capacity for a system to create essentially endless complexity, to be a sort of “novelty generator”. The only system known to exhibit this is Earth's biosphere. If the field of ALife manages to reproduce life's endless “creativity” in some virtual model, those same principles could give rise to truly inventive machines.
Compared with the developments of AI, advances in ALife are harder to recognize. One reason is that ALife is a field in which the central concept — life itself — is undefined. The lack of agreement among ALifers doesn't help either. The result is a diverse line of projects that each advance along their unique paths. For better or worse, ALife mirrors the very subject it studies. Its muddled (混乱的) progression is a striking parallel (平行线) to the evolutionary struggles that have shaped Earth biosphere.
Undefined and uncontrolled, ALife drives its followers to repurpose old ideas and generated novelty. It may be, of course, that these characteristics aren't in any way surprising or singular. They may apply universally to all acts of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal suggests something:perhaps, just like life itself throughout the universe, the rise of ALife will prove unavoidable.

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了ALife是否也在不断地进化的问题。
1.A [推理判断题。根据第三段“As much as many ALifers hate emphasizing their research's applications, the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs. (尽管许多ALifer讨厌强调他们研究的应用,但创造人工生命的尝试可能会有实际的回报。)”可知,作者认为创造人
工生命的尝试是会有回报的;再结合第二段“So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field's doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such complaints. Asking about ‘the point’ of ALife might be, well, missing the point entirely, he says. ‘The existence of a living system is not about the use of anything.’ Alan says.
“Some people ask me, ‘So what's the worth of artificial life?’ Do you ever think, ‘What is the worth of your grandmother?’(到目前为止,还没有人能令人信服地制造出人工生命。这一记录使生命科学成为批评的成熟目标,比如对该领域可疑科学价值的声明。复杂性科学家艾伦·史密斯厌倦了这样的抱怨。他说,询问ALife的‘意义’可能完全没有抓住要点。
‘一个生命系统的存在与任何东西的使用无关。’Alan说。“有人问我,‘那么人工生命的价值是什么?’你有没有想过,‘你祖母的价值是什么?’)”可推知,因为还没有人能令人信服地制造出人工生命,才导致使生命科学成为批评(认为其没有科学价值)的成熟目标,作者认为这是不合理的,所以后文引用了Alan Smith的话语对这种观点进行反驳,即关于Alan Smith对ALife的辩护,作者表示支持。]
2.C [词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called openended evolution (演化).(人工智能可能被认为是ALife的表亲,因为这两个领域的研究人员都被一个叫做开放进化的概念 enamored 。)”可知,人工智能可能被认为是ALife的表亲,说明人工智能和ALife二者间有共同之处,可推测是因为这两个领域的研究人员都被一个叫做开放进化的概念所吸引,所以才有了这种观点。故划线词意为“吸引”。]
3.B [推理判断题。根据第三段“Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife's cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called openended evolution (演化).(人工智能可能被认为是ALife的表亲,因为这两个领域的研究人员都被一个叫做开放进化的概念所吸引。)”可知,ALife和AI有一个共同的特点。]
4.D [主旨大意题。根据最后一段“They may apply universally to all acts of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal suggests something: perhaps, just like life itself throughout the universe, the rise of ALife will prove unavoidable.(它们可能普遍适用于所有进化行为。最终,ALife可能没有什么特别的。但即使是这种否定也表明了一些事情:也许,就像整个宇宙中的生命本身一样,ALife的崛起将被证明是不可避免的。)”结合文章主要探讨了ALife是否也在不断地进化。D选项“生命在进化。创造ALife的尝试也能进化吗?”是最合适的标题。]
◆素材积累
(一)由文本积累主题词块
1.the field of artificial life 人工生命领域
2.for short 简称;缩写
3.the field's doubtful scientific value 该领域值得怀疑的科学价值
4.be tired of such complaints 厌倦了这样的抱怨
5.the existence of a living system 生命系统的存在
6.a concept called openended evolution 一个叫作开放式进化的概念
7.give rise to truly inventive machines 产生真正有创造力的机器
8.apply universally to all acts of evolution 普遍适用于所有进化行为
(二)由文本积累阅读词汇
1.challenging adj. 具有挑战性的
2.systematic adj. 有系统的,体系的
3.convincingly adv. 令人信服地; 有说服力地
4.emphasize v. 强调,着重
5.capacity n. 容量;才能;能力
6.complexity n. 复杂性
7.reproduce v. 繁殖; 复制
8.universe n. 宇宙; 思想等范围
(三)由文本辨熟词生义(将词义对应的字母填到横线上)
1.sample
A.样品;货样
B.样品的
C.品尝
D.选录
①Sample the colourful fruits and vegetables at a farmers' market. C
②Thousands of people have written in to us for a free sample. A
2.mirror
A.镜子
B.反射面
C.写照
D.反射;反映
①These novels mirror life in today's Japan from various angles. D

◆素养提升(阅读理解之最佳标题题)
标题选择属于主旨要义题的一种。通常由称为主题句(topic sentence)的句子来表示。一般主题句包括两部分:Topic(主题)和Controlling Idea(控制概念)。控制概念用在段落中表达讨论的控制范围。
主题句一般位于首段,有的明显,有的隐含在段中。本文的主题句在首段。请找出主题句。
主题句: Many of these practitioners, socalled ALifers, think that somehow making life is the surest way to really understand what life is.
本文第4题:结合主题句,making life与life evolve相近,而主题句中心ALifer是指“artificial life”研究者指明了生命的方向:人工生命。故选D项。
◆[针对训练] Too much TVwatching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
...
What would be the best title for this text?
A.Computers or Television
B.Effects of Television on Children
C.Studies on TV and College Education
D.Television and Children's Learning Habits
解析:B [以上片段的主题句为:New studies..., on children.结合文章开头Too much TVwatching...可得出正确选项为B。]
