【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文。文章講述了人工智能已經(jīng)不知不覺地融入了我們的日常生活。
1.be impressed　[考查語態(tài)。空處在句中為謂語，表示“你可能會(huì)被智能量子計(jì)算機(jī) MOSS所吸引”，be impressed by“對(duì)……印象深刻”，所以此處用被動(dòng)語態(tài)，結(jié)合空前情態(tài)動(dòng)詞might，故填be impressed。]
2.the　[考查冠詞。句意：事實(shí)上，像 MOSS 這樣強(qiáng)大的人工智能，暫時(shí)在現(xiàn)實(shí)中是不存在的。for the time being“暫時(shí)”，故填the。]
3.which　[考查定語從句。空處及之后的內(nèi)容為非限制性定語從句，先行詞為weaker AI，在從句中作主語，所以用關(guān)系代詞which，故填which。]
4.operations　[考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換和名詞的數(shù)。a range of “許多”，后接名詞，所以空處用名詞復(fù)數(shù)operations，作賓語，故填operations。]
5.has released　[考查時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。空處在句中為謂語，結(jié)合句中l(wèi)ately可知，時(shí)態(tài)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)；主語Open AI 為單數(shù)，所以助動(dòng)詞用has，故填has released。]
6.more　[考查比較等級(jí)。根據(jù)句中than和空前much可知，此處用比較級(jí)，表示“使得人機(jī)交互比以往任何時(shí)候都更加人性化和智能化”，故填more。]
7.its　[考查代詞。形容詞修飾名詞，所以空處用形容詞性物主代詞its，修飾名詞release，故填its。]
8.why　[考查名詞性從句。as to“至于，關(guān)于”為介詞短語，所以其后為賓語從句，根據(jù)句中“users think it can display simple results content according to searching keywords”解釋了ChatGPT 如此受歡迎的原因，因而此處用連接副詞why，故填why。]
9.capability　[考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)空前the可知，此處用名詞capability，作賓語，故填capability。]
10.that　[考查狀語從句。本句使用了“so...that...”的結(jié)果狀語從句，空處及之后的內(nèi)容為結(jié)果，所以此處用that，故填that。]

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
How would human beings react if we found out we’re not alone in the universe？What if we knew an alien civilization was to invade(入侵) Earth？What would we do
These are the questions asked in The Three－Body Problem.When a secret military project sends signals into space to get in touch with aliens，an alien civilization in the face of destruction receives the signals and plans to invade Earth.Meanwhile，on Earth，people begin to separate into different groups：those who welcome aliens and those who want to fight against them.
The novel was written by Chinese author Liu Cixin and published in 2008.Translated into English in 2014 and almost 20 languages since，it was called an absolute “must－read in any language” by Booklist magazine.Liu has won several awards for it and in 2015，he became the first Asian to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel，the highest award in science fiction.
Just from the title，one could imagine that the text might be heavy with physics terms(術(shù)語).But as US writer Jason Heller said，“Indeed this science fiction is full of lengthy passages explaining technical terms.But Liu Cixin supports all of that burning－brain theory with empathetic(感同身受的) characters and thrilling story plots.”
At the very heart of science fiction—and what makes it truly appealing to readers—is the concept of an uncertain future.This allows the author to push the boundaries of readers’ imaginations.Liu fully uses this__approach to keep readers anxiously turning the page.While reading，they ask themselves，“What would I do？”
In an interview with The New York Times，Liu said，“China is on the path of rapid modernization and progress，kind of like the US during the golden age of science fiction in the 1930s to the 1960s.The future in the people’s eyes is full of attractions and hope，but also threats and challenges.That makes for very fertile soil.”
【語篇解讀】　本文是書評(píng)。主要介紹了劉慈欣的作品《三體》的故事梗概、取得的成就等。
1.Why does the author ask the three questions in paragraph 1
A.To warn us of the crisis Earth is faced with.
B.To introduce the novel The Three－Body Problem.
C.To show the author’s worries about Earth.
D.To remind us to watch out for alien civilizations.
解析　推理判斷題。由第二段首句可知，作者在開篇提出三個(gè)問題是為了引出文章的話題——《三體》這本小說。
√
2.What can we know about the novel according to the passage
A.It is about a fight between aliens and an army on Earth.
B.It was translated into many languages once published.
C.It has gained worldwide recognition and great success.
D.It targets the readers with a good knowledge of physics.
解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句可知，該小說被翻譯成20多種語言、被稱為“任何語言的必讀書”，劉慈欣也因此獲得了多個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，即該小說獲得了世界性的認(rèn)可，大獲成功。
√
3.What does the underlined part in paragraph 5 refer to
A.Explaining very difficult physics terms.
B.Exploring the boundaries of readers’ imaginations.
C.Applying the concept of an uncertain future.
D.Encouraging readers to ask themselves questions.
解析　代詞指代題。根據(jù)第五段前兩句可知，第二句中的This和第三句中的this approach指代相同，都是指第一句中“不確定的未來”這一概念。
√
4.What does Liu mean in the last paragraph
A.China is now in the golden age of science fiction.
B.The US authors can’t create science fiction now.
C.Now Chinese people are confused about the future.
D.China’s progress mainly depends on fertile soil.
解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“China is on the path...like the US during the golden age of science fiction in the 1930s to the 1960s.”可知，劉慈欣用類比的方式說明中國現(xiàn)在和三十至六十年代的美國一樣，處于科幻小說發(fā)展的黃金時(shí)代。

Georgia Tech is developing a robot that could eventually be used to dress humans in hospitals and elderly homes.According to the university，more than 1 million Americans require daily physical assistance to get dressed because of injury，disease and advanced age.
To address this problem researchers are developing a robot that can successfully slide hospital gowns(長袍) onto people’s arms.The robot known as PR2 taught itself to complete the task in just a single day by analyzing over 11，000 simulated(模擬的) examples of a robot putting a gown onto a human arm.
“People learn new skills using trial and error.We gave the PR2 the same opportunity，” said Zackory Erickson，the lead Georgia Tech Ph.D.student on the research team.“Doing thousands of trials on a human would have been dangerous，let alone impossibly dull.But in just one day，using simulations，the robot learned what a person may physically feel while getting dressed.”
The examples also allowed the robot to predict the consequences of different motions(動(dòng)作).In some cases，moving the gown in one way led to the cloth being pulled tight.However，the robot can slide the gown on smoothly in other ways.The robot could use these predictions to select the right motions to comfortably and efficiently dress the patient.Once the robot did well in simulation，it turned to real patients.
“The key is that the robot is always thinking ahead，”said Charlie Kemp，an associate professor at Georgia Tech.“It asks itself，‘If I pull the gown this way，will it cause more or less force on the person’s arm？What would happen if I go that way instead？’The more robots can understand us，the more they’ll be able to help us.By predicting the physical implications of their actions，robots can provide assistance that is safer，more comfortable and more effective.”
Currently，the robot is able to just slide the sleeve of the gown onto the arm of a patient，and researchers say the final goal of fully dressing a human requires much more development and research.
【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了喬治亞理工大學(xué)正在研發(fā)一款穿衣機(jī)器人，它可以幫助那些生活無法自理的人穿衣服。
5.Why does Georgia Tech try to develop such a robot
A.To update hospitals’ medical equipment.
B.To help elderly homes reduce labor costs.
C.To encourage healthy Americans to enjoy life better.
D.To meet the needs of people requiring physical assistance.
解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“According to the university...require daily physical assistance to get dressed because of injury，disease and advanced age.”及第二段中的“To address this problem...onto people’s arms.”可知，研發(fā)穿衣機(jī)器人的目的是幫助身體上需要照顧的人。
√
6.When learning to dress people by simulations，the robot can ________.
A.adjust its motions effectively
B.avoid repeated trials and errors
C.end up doing it better than humans
D.complete the whole process at one time
解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“The robot could use these predictions...comfortably and efficiently dress the patient.”可推斷，通過模擬試驗(yàn)，機(jī)器人可以有效調(diào)節(jié)穿衣動(dòng)作。
√
7.What’s Kemp’s attitude towards the robot being developed
A.Objective. B.Negative.
C.Doubtful. D.Favorable.
解析　觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。通讀第五段，尤其是最后一句，可知Kemp對(duì)正在開發(fā)的機(jī)器人是非常支持的。
√
8.What can we know about the robot being developed by Georgia Tech
A.A million elderly Americans need it.
B.It will be put into production recently.
C.There is much room for improvement.
D.Finishing the development costs huge sums.
解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“the final goal of fully dressing a human requires much more development and research”可知，目前這款穿衣機(jī)器人還需要做很多改進(jìn)。

Ⅱ.七選五
Rise of the Robots
The word “robot” was created in 1920 by the Czech playwright Karel Capek，who imagined artificial，fully functional servants.For most of their history，however，robots have been silent，inelegant devices sitting out of sight in factories.
Things are starting to change，however.Robots have benefited from rapid innovations in smartphones，which brought cameras，sensors and wireless communications.__1__ Robots are leaving industrial settings for everyday life and，will work in supermarkets，social care and much more.
__2__ Many industries are facing a shortage of labour nowadays when emergencies appear now and then.Robots are now indispensable，picking items off shelves and helping people pack a rising numbers of boxes.They are even beginning to deliver goods or food right to people’s doors.__3__
And yet many people fear that robots will destroy jobs.__4__ The evidence suggests robots will be disruptive(擾亂性的) but ultimately beneficial for labour markets.A Yale University study that looked at Japanese manufacturing between 1978 and 2017 found that an increase of one robot unit per 1，000 workers boosted a company’s employment by 2.2%.
For all that，the march of the robots will bring big changes to workplaces.__5__ The potential gains from the robot revolution are huge.In Capek’s play，the robots go against their human masters and cause mass unemployment and worse.The beginnings of the world’s real robots have not matched Capek’s satire (諷刺).There is no need to concern about their future.
A.They could not be coming at a better time.
B.But that need not be the disaster many fear.
C.In fact，concerns about mass unemployment are overblown.
D.The use of advanced technologies lead to increases in hiring.
E.Having more robots to boost productivity would be a good thing.
F.Firms should recognize the value of retraining and lifelong learning.
G.Recent advances in machine learning have equipped them to make wiser decisions.
【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了“機(jī)器人”這個(gè)詞的來源以及后來“機(jī)器人”的崛起。
1.G　[空處上一句介紹科技創(chuàng)新帶給機(jī)器人的進(jìn)步和發(fā)展，而G項(xiàng)“機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)的最新進(jìn)展使它們能夠作出更明智的決定”則是這種發(fā)展的結(jié)果，Recent advances與上一句中的rapid innovations呼應(yīng)。]
2.A　[根據(jù)空處下句的“Many industries are facing a shortage of labour nowadays”可知，這是對(duì)A選項(xiàng)“它們來得正是時(shí)候”的解釋。]
3.E　[根據(jù)空前兩句可知，機(jī)器人的廣泛應(yīng)用可以提高效率，而E選項(xiàng)“擁有更多的機(jī)器人來提高生產(chǎn)率將是一件好事”承接上文，符合語境。]
4.C　[空前一句提到很多人擔(dān)心機(jī)器人將摧毀崗位，空后兩句則表明機(jī)器人實(shí)際對(duì)就業(yè)有促進(jìn)作用，所以C選項(xiàng)“事實(shí)上，對(duì)大規(guī)模失業(yè)的擔(dān)憂被夸大了”承上啟下，符合語境。]
5.B　[空處上句指出機(jī)器人的進(jìn)步將為工作場所帶來巨大變化，下句則說到機(jī)器人變革的潛在收益是巨大的。所以B選項(xiàng)“但機(jī)器人的發(fā)展不會(huì)成為許多人擔(dān)心的災(zāi)難”承上啟下，符合語境。]

UNIT 1　SCIENCE FICTION
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Here are some of the science fiction books editors and readers have read and loved.
The Calculating Stars(By Mary Robinette Kowal)
What if space exploration isn’t a choice but a necessity，driven by the knowledge that Earth would soon become unfit to live
That’s what novelist Mary Robinette Kowal explores in her Lady Astronaut of Mars series.The book follows the mathematician and pilot Elma York，who dreams of becoming an astronaut herself.
Red Moon(By Kim Stanley Robinson)
Red Moon instantly transports the readers to the moon.The book opens with the journeys of Fred Fredericks，an American physicist，and Ta Shu，a famous Chinese travel reporter to the moon to work.In the world of the book，China has become the first political entity(實(shí)體) by virtue of advanced technology to live on the moon in a serious，long－term way.
Before Mars(By Emma Newman)
Emma Newman’s science fiction sees a geologist arrives at a small Mars base after a lengthy journey，only to realize that things aren’t as they seem.The base’s AI is untrustworthy，and the main character finds a note by herself she has no memory of writing，which warns her not to trust the base psychologist.Can she trust the sights before her？Or has the long trip damaged her mind
Artemis (By Andy Weir)
In his second novel Artemis，Andy Weir follows Jasmine Jazz Bashara，a porter on the moon who’s drawn into danger.Artemis is an entertaining read through an attractive future moon base，with plenty of one－sixth－gravity action and memorable twists.It’s well worth reading.Plus，there’s a talking book version read by Rosario Dawson.

√
2.What can we read in Red Moon

√
B
Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds.The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science.So it’s important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation.For example，if you’re writing about human living on a planet with zero gravity，then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.
Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds.And you have to follow them.If humans are able to breathe underwater in Chapter 1，your character can’t drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3.The issue here is maintaining your readers’ trust.That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you.If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter，you will pull the readers out of their imagination.The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.
Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds in great detail.You should decide the following issues：the history of the world，the geography，what possibilities it offers，how everything works in this new reality，and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think，feel，and react to things.You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter.But you have to let readers know enough to understand what’s going on.This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions (矛盾) before you start writing.
When you are writing，remember to make it feel real.You are inviting readers to visit a new world.They will want to be able to see，hear，feel，smell，and even taste what it’s like.Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet，help your readers feel like they’re actually there.
【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文。很多人對(duì)科幻小說充滿興趣，你是否想寫科幻小說呢？文章就科幻小說寫作提出了一些注意事項(xiàng)。
4.What’s the relationship between actual science and science fiction
A.Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.
B.Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.
C.Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.
D.Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.
解析　推理判斷題。從第一段的“The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science.”即幻想世界的事物產(chǎn)生的過程和方式基于現(xiàn)實(shí)科學(xué)，可知D項(xiàng)正確。
√
5.The second paragraph is mainly developed by ________.

√
7.The target readers of the passage are ________.
A.young scientists
B.science fiction writers
C.college students
D.professional journalists
解析　讀者對(duì)象題。文章多處出現(xiàn)第二人稱，如“The way things work in your imaginary worlds...”，由此可推斷出作者在與寫科幻小說的人交流。

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
Want to get your package delivered via robots？Now there’s an app for that.If you live in Washington D.C，or Redwood，you may have glimpsed a small，boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk，minding its own business，but attracting the attention of many curious onlookers.
The autonomous machines were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focusing on delivering meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.This week，the company unveiled plans to broaden its delivery service beyond food to include package，a move that led it to declare itself “the world’s first robot package delivery service”.The next time you order food，this cute robot might roll up to deliver it.The package delivery service is not available to everyone yet.
The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect obstacles from 30 feet away.“The robot can operate through anything，” Nick Handrick，head of operations for Starship’s D.C.office，said，“If you had something in the way—a stick—it’s able to climb over it.”
To sign up for the service，which costs a little more than $10 per month，customers need to download the company’s app.Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address”，a unique address inside a Starship facility，where they can have package sent from places such as Amazon.com.Once a package is delivered to the Starship address，customers receive a text notification that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot.The robots are opened by customers via a mobile phone code.
Barriers exist for robotic ground delivery，with many states requiring that humans be in control of delivery robots.Those regulations haven’t stopped Starship Technologies from accumulating experience on streets around the globe ahead of the company’s latest launch.The company says its robots have covered more than 125，000 miles in more than 100 cities in 20 countries.

B.How the robotic delivery works.
