对应学生课时P40 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Cloud computing will be in use by about 80 percent of about 600 companies. The trend suggests that data management and storage are moving to cloud computing sellers on a large scale. Touting(兜售)cloud computing as a way to get rid of the costs of buying and maintain in on­site information­technology equipment, sellers offer it in the form of Software AsA Service(SAAS), a delivery model in which software applications are delivered to customers over a web­based network. SAAS can serve the needs of entire companies through huge, web­based platforms. As cloud computing rapidly becomes the delivery channel for software developers of all shapes and sizes to get their products to market, offering applications in a cloud is now the rule not the exception. A relatively small number of sellers are able to offer SAAS to big companies that want company­wide cloud computing, and only the sellers need apply. Although market­share data are hard to come by, the list of company's large enough to offer cloud­computing on this scale is short: Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Salesforce, Rackspace and not many others. The concentration of data and virtual (虚拟)computing in the hands of relatively few sellers raises an important risk for their customers if the Internet­based systems of any one seller are hacked, the result could be security problems across entire industries in which their customers do. Can this small group of cloud­computing sellers effectively respond to the needs of their customers to quickly fix such a problem and, most importantly, cut off the damage to these companies' own customers? Don't think such things can't happen. If hackers can penetrate the Department of Defense, the risk that they will penetrate Microsoft or google cannot be ruled out.Compromise of just one of these sellers—even one with a modest market share—possibly could shut down, at least temporarily, a sizable part of the U. S. economy. 1．What can cloud computing do? A．Reduce the cost of computers. B．Provide software service. C．Market various products. D．Help companies design websites. 2．What do we know about cloud computing? A．It works under SAAS. B．It covers a large part of market­share. C．Most companies can provide it. D．Most sellers apply for it. 3．Why is the Department of Defense mentioned in the last paragraph? A．To warn people of the hackers' power. B．To show relationship between it and Microsoft. C．To give an example of the country's loss. D．To present the real picture of the U．S.economy. 4．What might be the best title for the text? A．The Unthinkable risks of the cloud B．Cloud Computing and Smart Sellers C．SAAS and changing Companies D．The Cloud Computing Age [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了云计算时代的到来，云计算将占据很大的市场份额，给人们提供网络服务，但是也会带来一系列的问题。 1．B　[细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子“Touting(兜售) cloud computing as a way to get rid of the costs of buying and maintain in on­site information­technology equipment, sellers offer it in the form of Software AsA Service(SAAS)．”可知，云计算可以提供网络服务，省去了购买相关设备的成本，以软件(Software AsA Service)的形式提供，故选B。] 2．B　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段的句子“Cloud computing will be in use by about 80 percent of about 600 companies. The trend suggests that data management and storage are moving to cloud computing sellers on a large scale.”可知，云计算覆盖很大的市场份额(大约600家公司中约80%的公司将使用云计算)，在很大范围内数据处理与储存将交给云计算销售商去完成，这是一个目前的趋势，故选B。] 3．A　[推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“If hackers can penetrate the Department of Defense, the risk that they will penetrate Microsoft or google cannot be ruled out Compromise of just one of these sellers—even one with a modest market share—possibly could shut down, at least temporarily, a sizable part of the US economy.”可知，如果黑客能够入侵美国国防部，那么不能排除黑客入侵微软或谷歌的风险，即使是市场份额不大的其中一家销售商(遭到入侵)，也有可能导致美国经济的相当大一部分遭遇暂时瘫痪。分析语境，最后一段提到国防部是为了借此警告人们黑客的力量(巨大破坏力)，故选A。] 4．D　[主旨大意题。根据全文和第一段的句子“Cloud computing will be in use by about 80 percent of about 600 companies. The trend suggests that data management and storage are moving to cloud computing sellers on a large scale.”(大约600家公司中约80%的公司将使用云计算。这一趋势表明，数据管理和存储正在大规模地转向云计算销售商)可知，文章开头提出云计算时代的美好未来，全文主要介绍云计算时代的方方面面。The Cloud Computing Age是最恰当的标题，故选D。] B As life in cities worldwide becomes more expensive, urban designers are using modern technology to help citizens avoid traffic jams, and shorten the time needed for bus waiting and other things. Technology is also used to cut costly waste. In Santander, a Spanish port city, parking is easy to find. As one car drives away, an underground sensor shows that a parking space is now free. 400 sensors send messages to signs on streets, and GPS devices direct drivers to the nearest available parking spaces, reducing traffic jams. Trash is collected only when the bins are full and bus stop signs show exactly when the next bus is coming. The public parks are watered only the soil gets dry. All this is made possible by 20,000 sensors installed on buildings, street posts and even buses. They are part of the “smart city” project, launched by the University of Cantabria seven years ago. University researchers like Luis Munoz regularly meet with locals to discuss how to make their city even smarter.“They propose when they have ideas and sometimes even develop by themselves. Here, we give them the opportunity to see these ideas happen in real life，”said Munoz. For example, the university helped a woman create an app that outlines the easiest route for walking with a baby stroller. 　Another　 provides information to residents about their water consumption and sends an alarm to their phone if there is a leak. The Santander smart project is attracting the attention of larger cities in Europe and elsewhere that are looking for smart solutions to urban problems. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了智慧城市展示了科技给人们生活带来的便利。 5．What is the life like in Santander? A．It is meaningful. B．It is full of freedom. C．It is likely to change fast. D．It is effective and convenient. 解析：D　[推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一、二句In Santander, a Spanish port city, parking is easy to find. As one car drives away, an underground sensor shows that a parking space is now free.可知，在桑坦德，停车场容易找到，一辆车离开，地下的传感器会显示现有空余车位，由此推断出在Santander的生活是高效和便捷的。故D项正确。] 6．How can residents help Munoz's job? A．By offering some original or fresh ideas. B．By showing him around the city. C．By installing sensors themselves. D．By using as little water as possible. 解析：A　[细节推理题。根据文章第三段第二句They propose when they have ideas and sometimes even develop by themselves.可知，居民能够提供原创或新鲜的想法。故正确答案为A。] 7．What does the underlined word“Another”in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．A university.　　　　 B．A phone. C．An easy route. D．An app. 解析：D　[词义猜测题。根据文章第三段倒数第二句 For example, the university helped a woman create an app that outlines the easiest route for walking with a baby stroller.可知，这所大学帮助一位女士创建了一个应用程序，该应用程序概述了使用婴儿车前行的最简单路线。结合空格所在句句意，另一个则向居民提供关于他们的用水量的信息，并且如果存在泄漏，则向他们的手机发出警报。可以推断出“Another”指的是另外一个APP。故D项正确。] 8．What can be the best title for the text? A．Worldwide Problem B．A Smart City Project C．A Creative Researcher D．A Trend in Urban Design 解析：B　[主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了智能城市的建立。根据文章第二段最后一句They are part of the “smart city” project, launched by the University of Cantabria seven years ago.和文章最后一段The Santander smart project is attracting the attention of larger cities in Europe and elsewhere that are looking for smart solutions to urban problems.可知，文章旨在介绍智能城市项目。故B正确。] Ⅱ.阅读七选五 A special copyright case has recently drawn attention because it is related to artificial intelligence(AI). A court in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent's AI enjoys copyright protection.1.　________　 This is the first case in China that has provided copyright protection to work done by AI. But what does it indicate？2.　________　 Probably not. AI is not yet able to write creative stories. The news report mentioned above is mainly about data.3.　________　it is often used to write financial reports. Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural disasters, which mainly require basic facts such as“where”and“when”. As Forbes wrote, instead of losing their jobs, journalists can make their work more efficient by using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less on numbers. 4．　________　For example, Wayne McGregor, a British choreographer(编舞), is famous for using AI to create new dances. For him, AI is a powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements. McGregor is not worried that AI might replace human artists.“AI can't judge the quality of the choreography，”he said. “It's time to stop worrying about if AI can be creative，”according to Forbes.5.　________　 A．As artificial intelligence progresses， B．AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields. C．Instead, we should focus on how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before. D．A website broke the law because it used the article without permission. E．Since AI is good at processing data， F．It's time to think about how to prevent AI from replacing humans. G．Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future? [语篇解读]　本文是说明文。通过描述一个与人工智能(AI)有关的版权案件，文章讲述了人工智能具有创造力，是否未来会代替创造性人才的问题，最后说明人们不必担心人工智能，而是应该考虑与人工智能的合作。 1．D　[上文“A special copyright case has recently drawn attention because it is related to artificial intelligence(AI). A court in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent's AI enjoys copyright protection.( 一个特殊的版权案件最近引起了人们的关注，因为它与人工智能(AI)有关，深圳一家法院裁定，腾讯人工智能撰写的新闻报道享有版权保护)”说明了一件与版权有关的案件，D项“一个网站违反了法律，因为它未经许可使用了这篇文章。”具体解释了上文提到的案件。故选D。] 2．G　[上文“But what does it indicate？”说明一个问题，空格处应是与上文问题一致，下文“Probably not. AI is not yet able to write creative stories.(可能不是。人工智能还不能写创造性的故事)”是对问题的回答，因此空格处也是问句，G项中“AI”与下文中的AI一致，“creative workers”与下文的“write creative stories”一致，故选G。] 3．E　[空格处是一个分句，故从A项和E项中选择。上文“The news report mentioned above is mainly about data.( 上面提到的新闻报道主要是关于数据的)”提到了“data”与E项中的“data”一致，后半句“it is often used to write financial reports.(它经常被用来写经济报告)”，根据上文内容可知，it指代上文提到的AI，E项中提到“AI”，因此推断E项“因为人工智能擅长处理数据”符合语境，故选E。] 4．B　[下文“For example, Wayne McGregor, a British choreographer(编舞), is famous for using AI to create new dances.( 例如，英国舞蹈编导韦恩·麦格雷戈(Wayne McGregor)以使用人工智能创造新舞蹈而闻名)”是一个使用人工智能创造的例子，因此推断空格处说明人工智能可以用于其它创造性领域。故选B。] 5．C　[上文“It's time to stop worrying about if AI can be creative(现在是时候停止担心人工智能是否有创造力了)”说明我们不必担心人工智能有创造力，C项中的“instead”表示转折关系，下文“we should focus on how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before.( 我们应该专注于人类和人工智能如何能够以我们以前从未梦想过的方式共同工作。)”与前文是转折关系，说明我们不用担心人工智能的创造力，而是应该专注于人类与人工智能的合作。故选C。] 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
