主题语境提分练二十四　人与社会之社会热点问题(三) 分值:50分 Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分) (2020·全国卷Ⅲ) When “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was first shown to the public last month,a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren't there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film stars.Instead,one activist,dressed in a full-body monkey suit,had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers:“Thanks for not using real apes(猿)!” The creative team behind “Apes” used motion-capture (动作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals,spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor's performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (图像).In this case,one of a realistic-looking ape. Yet “Apes” is more exception than the rule.In fact,Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately.One nonprofit organization,which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment,is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year.Already,a number of films,including “Water for Elephants”,“The Hangover Part Ⅱ” and “Zookeeper”, have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven't been treated properly.  In some cases,it's not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried;it's the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns.And there are questions about the films made outside the States,which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States. 1.Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard? To see famous film stars. To oppose wearing fur coats. To raise money for animal protection. To express thanks to some filmmakers. 2.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? The cost of making “Apes”. The creation of digitalized apes. The publicity about “Apes”. The performance of real apes. 3.What does the underlined phrase “keeping tabs on” in paragraph 3 probably mean? Listing completely. Directing professionally. Promoting successfully. Watching carefully. 4.What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors? They may be badly treated. They should take further training. They could be traded illegally. They would lose popularity. (2021·天津6月卷) In the fictional worlds of film and TV, artificial intelligence (AI) has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans.But what if we're actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking and feeling? Tech company UneeQ is heading for its “digital humans”, which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language, but also because of facial movements: raised eyebrows, a smile, even a nod.They look close to a human, but not quite. What lies beneath UneeQ's digital humans? Their 3D faces are modeled on actual human features.Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying, and natural language processing is used to work out a response.Meanwhile, another AI company, Soul Machines, is taking a more biological approach, with a “digital brain”, that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions “felt” and “expressed” by its “digital people”. Shiwali Mohan, an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center, is skeptical of these digital beings.“They're humanlike in their looks and the way they sound, but that in itself is not being human,” she says.“Human qualities also involve how you think, how you approach problems, and how you break them down; and that takes a lot of algorithmic (算法) design.Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans.” She then continues, “If something looks like a human, we have high expectations of them, but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively (直觉地) know how other humans react.”  Yet the demand is there, with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial, health care, and commercial sectors (行业).“Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally, they might be left behind,” says Chetan Dube, UneeQ's CEO. Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further, enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide.“The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI,” Dube says. Mohan is cautious about this approach, yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed.“As we develop more advanced AI technology, we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology,”she says. “Hopefully, all of that is designed to support humans in their goals.” 5.According to Para.2, in what respect(s) do UneeQ's “digital humans” resemble human beings? In the way they move around. In the way they act and react. In observation and analysis. In speech and facial expressions. 6.Soul Machines' digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it 　　　　.  learns to make proper emotional responses tends to imitate human beings' tone vividly recognizes the speech sounds it receives processes the natural language it hears 7.In Mohan's opinion, what human quality is lacking in digital beings? Calculating brain. Language skills. Instinctive judgements. Problem-solving ability. 8.What does Mohan think of the future of digital beings? It's well planned. It is promising. It is uncertain. It's quite hopeless.
