John Hopfield from Princeton University in the US and Geoffrey Hinton from the University of Toronto,two early AI developers,won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics.The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences gave them the award because they helped create methods that are the base for today’s powerful machine learning.
Hinton,who is 76,is called the Godfather of AI for his work in machine learning.Asked about the potential significance of the technology his research has helped to develop,he said “AI will have a ‘huge influence’ on our society.”“But we also have to worry about a number of possible bad consequences,particularly the threat to humans,”he warned.The Nobel committee also mentioned the fears and said humans should use AI safely and make it morally acceptable.
Hopfield,now 91,developed the “Hopfield network”,an artificial neural network that can find and store patterns in information in a way that mimics(模仿) the brain in the 1980s.After Hopfield published his book,Hinton expanded it using ideas from statistical physics and developed the earliest form of machine learning,called the “Boltzmann machine”.“Thanks to their work from the 1980s,AI has become part of our daily lives,from facial recognition to language translation,” said Ellen Moons,chair of the Nobel Committee for physics.
“Hinton had an unconventional background as a psychologist(心理学家) and was really curious about how the mind works,”said Nick Frosst,who was Hinton’s first employee at Google’s AI division in Toronto.“His interest in answering basic questions I think is crucial to his success as a scientist,” Frosst said.“He’s been always trying out crazy things and some of them work very well and some of them don’t,” Frosst said.
“For a long time,people thought what my team and I were doing was meaningless,” Hinton said in an interview.“My message to young researchers is,don’t be put off if everyone tells you what you are doing is silly.”
1.Why did John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton win the Nobel Prize in Physics?
A.They designed the great advanced AI robot.
B.They made a breakthrough in basic physics.
C.They laid a foundation for machine learning.
D.They were the pioneers to develop computers.
2.What should be a major concern for AI according to the Nobel committee?
A.To make strict rules to fight AI.
B.To work out technical difficulties.
C.To popularize the knowledge of AI.
D.To develop safe and responsible AI.
3.What led to Hinton’s success according to Nick Frosst?
A.His performance in other research fields.
B.His strong interest in how the mind works.
C.His constant pursuit of unconventional views.
D.His desire to explore the nature of problems.
4.What is Hinton’s suggestion for young researchers?
A.Hold firm to your principles.
B.Face pressure with courage.
C.Innovate to ensure success.
D.Adjust to the environment.

Stephen Hawking was a scientist known for his work with black holes and relativity,and the author of popular science books like A Brief History of Time.
Hawking was born on January 8,1942,in Oxford,England. 1 The political climate was also tense.The couple was living as Frank Hawking undertook research in medicine.
Hawking’s father wanted him to go into medicine. 2 That was evident to his mother,who,along with her children,often stretched out in the backyard on summer evenings to stare up at the stars.“Stephen always had a strong sense of wonder,” she remembered.“And I could see that the stars would draw him.”
Early in his academic life,Hawking,while recognized as bright,was not an exceptional student. 3 But Hawking focused on pursuits outside of school;he loved board games,and he and a few close friends created new games of their own.During his teens,Hawking,along with several friends,constructed a computer out of recycled parts for solving rudimentary mathematical equations.
4 He would later calculate that he averaged about an hour a day focusing on school.And yet he didn’t really have to do much more than that.In 1962,he graduated with honors in natural science and went on to attend Trinity Hall at the University of Cambridge for a Ph.D.in cosmology.
5 The next few years were a fruitful time for Hawking and his research.In 1973,he published his first,highly-technical book,The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time,with G.F.R.Ellis.
A.By his own account,Hawking didn’t put much time into his studies.
B.But at an early age,Hawking showed a passion for science and the sky.
C.In 1968,Hawking became a member of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.
D.With his sister Mary,Hawking devised different entry routes into the family home.
E.Hawking’s birth came at an improper time for his parents,who didn’t have much money.
F.During his first year at St.Albans School,he was the third from the bottom of his class.
G.He loved to dance and also took an interest in rowing,becoming a team coxswain(舵手) in college.

In the town of Riverton,surrounded by hills and lakes,the annual marathon brought the community together for a lively festival.Colorful banners waved in the breeze as families set up picnic blankets and children painted their faces.
This year,the focus was on two athletes:Sarah,a devoted runner,and Jake,a relaxed natural talent.For months,Sarah woke up early,putting on her well-worn running shoes as the sun rose.She pushed herself through tough workouts,running up the challenging hills nearby.She dreamed of crossing the finish line,not for herself,but to inspire young runners at the local youth center who looked up to her.On the other hand,Jake had a natural talent for running.With messy hair and a friendly smile,he was the life of every event.He often took selfies during his runs,sharing laughs and jokes along the way.Though he was a strong competitor,he cared more about having fun than strict training,enjoying the excitement of the moment.
As race day approached,Sarah felt the weight of expectations.The gold medal shone in her mind as a symbol of hope,but she worried that Jake,with his natural abilities,would be a tough competitor.
On the race day,Riverton was full of energy.The crowd’s cheers felt like a heartbeat,and the smells of popcorn(爆米花) and baked goods filled the air.Sarah lined up at the front of the starting line,her heart racing with the countdown,while Jake chatted with friends,enjoying himself in the lively atmosphere behind her.
When the starting gun fired,Sarah dashed ahead with great determination,with her every step being a proof to her months of strict training.Meanwhile,Jake started the race in a relaxed manner,taking in the lively crowd and the colorful banners swaying(摇摆) in the wind.The race went just as expected—Sarah
was in the lead.But as they reached the middle of the course,dark clouds gathered in the sky.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Suddenly,heavy rain poured down,making the road very slippery(湿滑的).
Jake,who had been following behind,caught sight of Sarah as she struggled to rise.
