课时作业(二)　Unit 1　Period 2 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A It is reported that in the near future robots and humans will probably work together to create jazz. A singing robot—the Telenoid, being taught to create jazz with human beings, will be tested out in a project. Antonio Chella from Italy is working with the Telenoid robot. The Telenoid robot will be trained to first imitate(模仿)the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer，and then connect music with different human emotions. Previous robots had the ability to find common connections between things.But Chella suggests that a conscious robot should be able to go a step further and find new connections.The Telenoid is of this kind, which makes it superior.“This work raises interesting questions about the connection between consciousness and music creation，”says Philippe Pasquier. “A musician needs a physical body.” Pasquier argues that the robot musician is faced with a big challenge.“Its software has already been developed and it can imitate the Beatles，a famous band. However, what made the Beatles famous were not only their songs but their wonderful performance of the songs，” he says. It is not clear how a robot might perform music in a new way.But by imitating humans，the Telenoid robot can provide some useful information.What is important is that human musicians often listen to and compare music made by others for a long time before creating music of their own.So the Telenoid robot had better listen to more jazz music first before it appears at concerts or venues. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在不久的将来，机器人和人类可能会一起创作爵士乐。在目前研究人员进行的一个项目中，一个会唱歌的机器人正在学习与人类一起创作爵士乐。 1．What will the Telenoid robot be taught to do first? A．Communicate with human beings. B．Connect music with human emotions. C．Live and work comfortably with human beings. D．Imitate the movements and simple sounds of a human singer. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的The Telenoid robot will be trained to first imitate(模仿) the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer可知，Telenoid机器人首先被训练模仿一个人类歌手的动作和简单的声音，故选D。 2．In Pasquier's opinion, the Telenoid robot______. A．will replace human musicians soon B．may have trouble performing music C．will become more popular than the Beatles D．can find connections between things that humans cannot find 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据题干人名Pasquier定位到文章第三、四段，在Pasquier看来，Telenoid机器人面临一个巨大的挑战，它虽然能够模仿甲壳虫乐队，但是甲壳虫乐队的成功不仅仅是由于他们的歌曲，还因为他们精彩的表演，所以推断Telenoid 机器人可能在表演音乐上有困难。故选B。 3．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A．The Telenoid—the Future Robot Musician B．How to Teach Robots to Perform Music C．The Right Music the Robots Should Listen to D．Differences Between a Human Singer and a Robot Musician 解析：选A　主旨大意题。根据文章主旨段第一段可知，本文介绍的是未来的机器人歌手Telenoid。故选A。 4．In which part of a newspaper would we most probably read this passage? A．Art.　　　　　　 B．Entertainment. C．Science. D．Education. 解析：选C　推理判断题。本文介绍的是未来的机器人歌手Telenoid，应该属于科技类文章，所以它最有可能出现在报纸的科学栏目。故选C。 B When it comes to work, workers, and jobs, much of the concern of the modern age boils down to the fear that we're witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no area of human experience that can't be replaced by AI? And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines? At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs—jobs that make the most of workers' natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work­life balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing—and, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker. Does the ongoing advance of AI threaten to get rid of all the learning, creativity, and meaning that make a job a good job? Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation(革新) resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain professions. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days. The problem here isn't the technology; rather, it's the way the technology is used—and, more than that, the way people think about using it. 【语篇解读】　 本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了人类对人工智能发展的前景的担忧以及作者认为我们该持有的态度。 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．The human fears in the age of AI. B．Human experiences were replaced by AI. C．How to take care of the AI machines. D．The relations among work, workers, and jobs. 解析：选A　主旨大意题。由全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了人类对人工智能发展的担忧，故选A。 6．What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage? A．The ones that provide basic benefits. B．The ones that require no economic return. C．Those that don't bring new problems to workers. D．Those that offer chances to progress professionally. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段对好工作的描述可知，D项“那些提供职业上进步机会的工作”符合题意。故选D。 7．How do news media respond to the development of AI? A．Supportive. B．Optimistic. C．Negative. D．Ambiguous. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation(革新) resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain professions.”可知，媒体对人工智能的发展持消极的态度，故选C。 8．What will the author probably talk about next? A．The proper attitude towards AI. B．The future jobs humans will do. C．The possible application of AI in the future. D．The approaches to handling the issues of AI. 解析：选A　推理判断题。由最后一段“…more than that, the way people think about using it.”可判断出，接下来说的应是如何正确对待人工智能，故选A。 Ⅱ.完形填空 Shortly after its opening on the first day of Chinese New Year, The Wandering Earth began to gain momentum(势头).
