She is interested in the following things introduced in a magazine. Smart Schoolbag Forget to pack the books you need into your schoolbag in the morning rush? A schoolboy aged 11 has invented a schoolbag. It tells you which books to pack. A small computer and a scanner are fixed in the bag. As each book is put into the bag, it is checked by the scanner. If any book is missing, a message will be shown on the computer screen to remind you. Weather Sweets Can you eat weather? A university makes that happen. It uses a 3D printer to create sweets based on the weather information of a certain day. The shapes of the sweets are affected by wind speed. The colors of the sweets are decided by temperature. The sweets act as a weather record of the day when they are made. Sunrise Bed It's hard for you to get up in the morning, isn't it? To help you get up, a company has created a "tool"—a sunrise bed. It wakes you up gently as a sunrise does. Lights built into the bed turn on and start to get brighter and brighter. When the lights are fully on, soft music will begin to play. It will be louder and louder until you turn it off. The company explains, "The gentle light tells your body that it is morning, so it stops producing a chemical that helps you sleep." 1. The smart schoolbag has been invented by A. a reporter B. a schoolboy C. a university D. a company 2. What can the smart schoolbag do? A. Help you repair computers. B. Tell you when to pack books. C. Teach you how to fix screens. D. Remind you of the missing books. 3. affect(s) the shapes of the weather sweets. A. Colors B. Temperature C. Wind speed D. 3D printers 4. Which of the following shows how sunrise bed wakes you up? A. lights on—music on—lights brighter—music louder. B. music on—music louder—lights on—lights brighter. C. lights on—lights brighter—music on—music louder. D. music on—lights on—music louder—lights brighter. 5. In which section of the magazine has Jane most probably found the information? A. Wonderful food. B. Amazing inventions. C. Future schools. D. Modern furniture. 【答案】1. B 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了三个创意发明：11 岁男生发明的智能书包（可提醒遗漏书籍）、大学研发的天气糖果（形状和颜色反映天气）以及公司设计的日出床（模拟日出轻柔唤醒人），展现了这些发明的独特功能。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据 “Smart Schoolbag” 部分中 “A schoolboy aged 11 has invented a schoolbag” 可知，智能书包是由一个 11 岁的男生发明的，故选 B。 2．细节理解题。根据 “Smart Schoolbag” 部分中 “If any book is missing, a message will be shown on the computer screen to remind you” 可知，智能书包能提醒你遗漏的书籍，D 选项正确。A 选项 “帮助修电脑”、B 选项 “告诉你何时装书”、C 选项 “教你修屏幕” 在文中均未提及，故选 D。 3．细节理解题。根据 “Weather Sweets” 部分中 “The shapes of the sweets are affected by wind speed” 可知，天气糖果的形状受风速影响，故选 C。 4．细节理解题。根据 “Sunrise Bed” 部分中 “Lights built into the bed turn on and start to get brighter and brighter. When the lights are fully on, soft music will begin to play. It will be louder and louder until you turn it off” 可知，日出床唤醒人的顺序是：灯亮→灯变亮→音乐开始→音乐变响，C 选项符合该顺序，故选 C。 5．推理判断题。文章介绍的智能书包、天气糖果和日出床均为创意发明，因此这些信息最可能出现在杂志的 “惊人发明” 板块。A 选项 “美味食物” 仅与天气糖果相关，但并非核心；C 选项 “未来学校” 与内容无关；D 选项 “现代家具” 仅涉及日出床，不全面，故选 B。 B There is an old joke among pilots that says the ideal flight crew is a computer, a pilot and a dog. The computer's job is to fly the plane. The pilot is there to feed the dog. And the dog's job is to bite the pilot if he tries to touch the computer. Handling complex tasks to computers is not new. But recent progress in machine learning, a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI), has enabled computers to handle many problems which were previously beyond them. The result has been an AI boom, with computers moving into everything from medical diagnosis and insurance to self-driving cars. There is a problem, though: machine learning works by giving computers the ability to train themselves, which adapts their programming to the task at hand. People struggle to understand exactly how those self-written programs do what they do. When algorithms (计算程序) are doing small tasks, such as playing chess or recommending a film to watch, this “black box” problem can be safely ignored. When they are deciding who gets a loan, or how to drive a car through a crowded city, it is potentially harmful. And when things go wrong, then customers, regulators and the courts will want to know why. For some people this is a reason to hold back AI. France's digital-economy minister, Mounir Mahjoubi, has said that the government should not use any algorithm whose decisions cannot be explained. But that is an overreaction. The difficulties caused by clever computers are not unheard of. Society already has plenty of experience dealing with problematic black boxes; the most common are called human beings, who can't even figure out what's going on in a brain. In response to the weakness in humans, society has evolved a series of workable coping mechanisms, called laws, rules and regulations. Many of these can be applied to machines as well. Humans have worked with computers on complex tasks for decades. One lesson from such applications is that, wherever possible, people should supervise (监督) the machines. In that joke, lots are necessary in case something happens that is beyond the scope of artificial intelligence. As computers spread, companies and governments should ensure the first line of defense is a real person who can overrule the algorithms if necessary. AI is bound to suffer some troubles. But it also promises extraordinary benefits and the difficulties it poses are not unprecedented (无先例的). If the new black boxes prove tricky, there will be time to toughen the rules. 6. Why is the joke mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To make people laugh. B. To predict future airplane industry. C. To introduce the latest model of airplanes. D. To raise people's awareness of computers performing complex tasks. 7. What has caused the increasing application of computers in various fields? A. The shortage of labor force. B. The rise of artificial intelligence. C. The encouragement of governments. D. The development of economy. 8. Why are some people opposed to AI according to the article? A. Black boxes always go wrong. B. AI may become too smart to be controlled by human beings. C. They don't understand how AI works. D. Computers are trying to replace human beings. 9. What does the author suggest people do with AI? A. Stop panic and welcome AI. B. Reduce the usage of algorithms. C. Supervise AI wherever possible. D. Deal with the “black box” problem. 10. What's the author's attitude towards the development of AI? A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Pessimistic. D. Neutral. 【答案】6. D 7．B 8．C 9．C 10．A 【导语】本文围绕 AI（尤其是机器学习）展开，探讨了其发展使计算机能处理复杂任务并在各领域广泛应用，分析了 “黑箱” 问题（人们难以理解 AI 决策过程），提出应对方法（如人类监督），并表明 AI 虽有挑战但前景可期的观点。 【详解】 6．推理判断题。第一段的笑话提到计算机负责驾驶飞机，暗示计算机能处理复杂任务，其目的是引出 “计算机执行复杂任务” 这一话题，提高人们对该现象的关注，D 选项正确。A 选项 “让人发笑” 是笑话的表面作用，并非主要目的；B 选项 “预测未来航空业”、C 选项 “介绍最新飞机模型” 均与笑话意图无关，故选 D。 7．细节理解题。根据第三段中 “recent progress in machine learning, a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI), has enabled computers to handle many problems which were previously beyond them. The result has been an AI boom, with computers moving into everything from...” 可知，AI（尤其是机器学习）的发展使计算机能处理更多问题，从而在各领域应用增加，B 选项 “人工智能的兴起” 是主要原因。A 选项 “劳动力短缺”、C 选项 “政府鼓励”、D 选项 “经济发展” 在文中均未提及，故选 B。 8．细节理解题。根据第四段中 “People struggle to understand exactly how those self-written programs do what they do...When they are deciding who gets a loan...it is potentially harmful” 可知，一些人反对 AI 是因为他们难以理解 AI 的工作原理（即 “黑箱” 问题），C 选项正确。A 选项 “黑箱总是出错” 错误，文中说 “当出错时”，并非 “总是出错”；B 选项 “AI 太聪明而无法被控制”、D 选项 “计算机试图取代人类” 在文中均未提及，故选 C。 9．细节理解题。根据第六段中 “wherever possible, people should supervise (监督) the machines” 可知，作者建议人们尽可能监督 AI，C 选项正确。A 选项 “停止恐慌并欢迎 AI” 并非具体建议；B 选项 “减少算法使用” 文中未提及；D 选项 “处理‘黑箱’问题” 是面临的问题，而非作者建议的做法，故选 C。 10．推理判断题。最后一段提到 “AI is bound to suffer some troubles. But it also promises extraordinary benefits and the difficulties it poses are not unprecedented”，可见作者认为 AI 虽有挑战，但益处显著，对其发展持支持态度，A 选项正确。B 选项 “漠不关心”、C 选项 “悲观的”、D 选项 “中立的” 均不符合文意，故选 A。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 编写说明：基于中职学生英语知识能力普遍薄弱的学情特点，我们始终坚持“以生为本”的教育理念，深度融合支架式教学理论，深度解读最新的《中等职业学校英语课程标准》，匠心打造了契合职教高考命题特色的《英语 基础模块3》（高教版2023修订版）《一课一练》专辑，专辑共40练。 本卷为《英语 基础模块3》（高教版2023修订版） Unit 3 Artificial Intelligence （Culture Understanding）的课后作业。 《英语 基础模块3》（高教版2023修订版） Unit 3 Artificial Intelligence 一课一练（14） Culture Understanding 阅读理解：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） A Jane, a reporter, is collecting information for the local newspaper.
