Part3 阅读过关 六、阅读理解 A篇 A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel's former national debating champion. Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There's never a stage at which the system knows what it's talking about.” What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean. Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that's why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence. 1.Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?( ) A.To explain the use of a software program. B.To show the cleverness of Project Debater. C.To introduce the designer of Project Debater. D.To emphasize the fairness of the competition. 2.What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?( ) A.Arguments. B.Doubts. C.Errors. D.Differences. 3.What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?( ) A.Create rules. B.Comprehend meaning. C.Talk fluently. D.Identify difficult words. 4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?( ) A.Social interaction is key to understanding symbols. B.The human brain has potential yet to be developed. C.Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters. D.Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future. B篇 Imagine a not-too-distant future, where we each inhabit our own AI-driven digital filter bubble (数字滤泡), crafted for us alone and designed to serve commercial interests. This future is like 1998's movie The Truman Show, where the main character unknowingly lived his life within a reality TV show designed by a studio. Large language models (LLMs) won't turn our lives into reality TV shows. Instead, personalized AI agents threaten to cage each of us in an individualized unreality, profiting from our digital activities and walling us off from genuine connections. Many companies are developing individualized LLMs. The principle is that AI will learn about individual users and adapt accordingly. If you're a super fan of a football team, you'll be fed updates and ads tailored to your interests. This may sound harmless. But the next step is to use LLMs to create memes (模因，网络梗), or even fake articles. This is a miserable reality because there are neither computational methods nor moral guidelines in place to ensure that the information you receive is true. But just as frightening as the lack of regard for the truth is an even scarier element. You will no longer have such an accurate understanding of the football team as anyone else's. You will run on information generated only for yourself. This vision is unsettling, even in sports and entertainment. But what of education? Politics? With the fall of the press and division of everything, conversations around the holiday table have already become impossible for many extended families. Bad as the current situation might be, stranger times lie ahead that make us long for today's echo chambers (信息茧房). Soon, our bubbles will become smaller and smaller, until our digital worlds involve only ourselves. As a society, with no shared understanding of the world, we will be completely incapable of making fruitful collective decisions. What's the way out? Find your entertainment in spaces with actual people, exchanging thoughts and creations with each other. Even online, we must keep our understanding of the world grounded in human-authored documents and artifacts. Valuing what humans create is not merely a matter of realness; it also ensures we focus on arguments that an author cared enough to make, and on conversations that speakers cared enough to have. 1.Why is The Truman Show in Paragraph 1 mentioned?( ) A.To make a comparison. B.To illustrate a situation. C.To support an argument. D.To propose a suggestion. 2.What may personalized AI agents do according to the text?( ) A.Cut individuals off in false realities. B.Confirm the credibility of the content. C.Stand by the companies' moral values. D.Improve user behavior by feeding targeted ads. 3.What can be inferred from the text?( ) A.AI has raised concerns over privacy. B.LLMs are in need of a faster tech upgrade. C.Echo chambers weaken collective decision-making. D.Technology development results in a divided society. 4.Which would be the best title for this passage?( ) A.AI and the Future of Human Interaction B.AI Will Turn Our Lives into The Truman Show C.The Truman Show Predicts AI's Impact on Media D.Digital Bubbles and the Value of Human Creations 七、七选五 AI Field In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has witnessed remarkable advancements, and one name that has been making waves is DeepSeek.1.___ DeepSeek is an innovative AI technology developed by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd.
