Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
　　（2024·合肥高二下質(zhì)檢）Way back in the early 1940s — long before smart phones， Siri and semi-autonomous weapons — the late great sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov drew up a set of principles for the development of advanced robotic systems.
Asimov was essentially an optimist， and his famous Three Laws of Robotics have influence in science and technology circles to this day.
（1）A robot may not injure a human being or， through inaction， allow a human being to come to harm.（2）A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. （3）A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Now， almost 80 years later， legal academic and artificial intelligence expert Frank Pasquale has added four additional principles. Professor Pasquale says while Asimov’s ideas were well founded， they assumed a certain technological trajectory （軌跡） that no longer holds — innovations are not always for the good of humanity.
“Whereas Asimov is talking about how we have robots help people and not harm them， I’m talking about how we guide the direction of technology，” he says. And he draws an important distinction between AI and what he terms IA — intelligence augmentation （增強(qiáng)）.
“The artificial intelligence goal is often to replace human beings， to create， for example， a robot doctor or a robot teacher. The intelligence augmentation goal is to help human beings.”
“If we go for an artificial intelligence vision of replacement， that’s going to create a jobless future in many areas，” he says. “Whereas if we emphasise intelligence augmentation， that should actually increase both productivity and the value of labour.”
“We’ve seen so many fields where technological advances have led to very troubling and harmful consequences like global warming. We’ve got to get ahead of these things，” he says. “We can’t just look at something like global warming and say， well， we’ll just get a technological fix out of it. We have to think very deeply about directing innovation.”
1.What can we learn about Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics？（　　）
A.They ignore robots’ interests. B.They focus on humans’ interests.
C.They predict the development of AI. D.They have a history of nearly 70 years.
2.Which of the following beliefs did Isaac Asimov agree with？（　　）
A.IA is more important than AI.
B.Innovations do good to people.
C.Robots will replace human beings.
D.Technology can be harmful to people.
3.What is the core of intelligence augmentation？（　　）
A.The development of robots.
B.Humans’ depending on robots.
C.The improvement of humans.
D.Robots’ replacing human beings.
4.What attitude does Frank Pasquale take to technological advances？（　　）
A.Negative and worried.
B.Doubtful and confused.
C.Optimistic and confident.
D.Reasonable and cautious.

（2024·煙臺(tái)高二下月考）The question of whether or not we are alone in the galaxy is one that has interested everyone.From Superman to ET， films have brought aliens to the Earth as friends or enemies but， as yet， no one has proved they have ever seen an alien apart from on film or TV.
In 1960， a radio telescope was pointed out into space to listen for signs of aliens， trying to add scientific fact to the question：“Is anybody out there？” But 50 years on， nobody knows the answer to it.
“It’s probably the most important question there is，” says Dr Frank Drake， who was a pioneer of radio astronomy.“What does it mean to be a human being？ What is our future？ Are there other creatures like us？ What have they become？ What can evolution produce？ How far can it go？ It will all come out of learning of aliens and this will certainly enrich our lives like nothing else could.”
“We should be prepared for aliens，” says professor of space science John Zarnecki， from the Open University.Stephen Hawking says aliens almost certainly exist and senior astronomer Seth Shostak denies the possibility that there’s nothing to search for.
But if there are aliens， then the question is：“Why haven’t we got any firm evidence of their existence？” This was a question asked by the physicist Enrico Fermi as far back as 1950， saying “Where is everybody？”
But Dr Drake has a more simple answer to why life hasn’t been found：“We just haven’t tried enough，” he says.“We’ve looked carefully at only a few thousand stars and very few channels and that’s hardly even a start.There may be around 10，000 civilisations we can discover in the galaxy.That’s one in 10，000，000 stars.Before we have a good chance of succeeding， we still have a long way to go.”
5.What are the stories of Superman and ET？（　　）
A.Real events.
B.Artists’ imagination.
C.Personal experiences.
D.Scientists’ discoveries.
6.Dr Frank Drake asks some questions in Paragraph 3 to 　　　　.（　　）
A.prove the existence of aliens
B.doubt the existence of aliens
C.express his interest in human beings’ future
D.show the importance of understanding aliens
7.Who doesn’t believe the existence of aliens？（　　）
A.Enrico Fermi. B.Dr Frank Drake.
C.John Zarnecki. D.Stephen Hawking.
8.Why haven’t we found aliens according to Dr Frank Drake？（　　）
A.They are too far away from us.
B.We haven’t made enough efforts.
C.They have never been to the Earth.
D.Our science isn’t developed enough.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。20世紀(jì)40年代，美國(guó)著名科幻小說作家Isaac Asimov提出了著名的“機(jī)器人三定律”。時(shí)至今天，人工智能專家Frank Pasquale認(rèn)為，要約束機(jī)器人僅僅依靠這三條定律是不夠的。
1.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知，Isaac Asimov提出的“機(jī)器人三定律”重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)保護(hù)人的安全和利益，不過它們也沒有忽略機(jī)器人存在的權(quán)利。
2.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段可知，人工智能專家Frank Pasquale認(rèn)為，雖然Isaac Asimov的想法有充分根據(jù)，但它們假設(shè)了某種不再成立的技術(shù)發(fā)展軌跡——（如今）創(chuàng)新并不總是對(duì)人類有利。這說明Isaac Asimov認(rèn)為創(chuàng)新是對(duì)人類有利的。
3.C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五至七段可知，AI強(qiáng)調(diào)的是人工智能的快速發(fā)展從而取代人類，而IA強(qiáng)調(diào)的是：在機(jī)器的幫助下，讓人變得更強(qiáng)大、生產(chǎn)效率和勞動(dòng)價(jià)值都得到提高。
4.D　觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，F(xiàn)rank Pasquale認(rèn)為，技術(shù)進(jìn)步已經(jīng)給人類帶來一些非常令人不安和有害的后果，我們必須走在技術(shù)進(jìn)步的前面。也就是說我們要預(yù)見一些可能的不良后果并引導(dǎo)科學(xué)技術(shù)朝良性發(fā)展。由此可知，F(xiàn)rank Pasquale并沒有反對(duì)技術(shù)進(jìn)步，只是提醒我們對(duì)技術(shù)進(jìn)步保持理性和謹(jǐn)慎的態(tài)度。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。地球以外是否有外星人？這是一個(gè)大家都非常感興趣的問題。盡管人類至今還沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)外星人，但是很多科學(xué)家都相信外星人的存在。
5.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段可知，人們除了在電影和電視里看到外星人以外，沒有任何人能證明見到過外星人。由此判斷，電影Superman和ET中的外星人建立在藝術(shù)家的想象基礎(chǔ)之上。
6.D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知，F(xiàn)rank Drake博士提出很多問題，都是為最后一句話作鋪墊。那就是證明這一切（問題）都是源于對(duì)外星人的了解并且這一問題將極大地豐富人類的生活。
7.A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段可知，物理學(xué)家Enrico Fermi不相信外星人的存在。根據(jù)上文可知，其他三人都相信外星人的存在。
8.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，F(xiàn)rank Drake博士認(rèn)為，人類尚未發(fā)現(xiàn)外星人，是因?yàn)槲覀優(yōu)橹冻龅呐€不夠。
Ⅱ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)介是用簡(jiǎn)單的格式表達(dá)信息的一種極好的方式。文章主要介紹了一些寫個(gè)人資料要遵循的基本步驟。
9.G　上文提到了不要抱怨或沒完沒了地描述你的健康問題、感情困擾、孩子問題等。設(shè)空處為本段最后一句，應(yīng)承接上文說明原因，故G項(xiàng)符合語境。
10.E　本段的中心思想是不要自我批評(píng)。下文提到?jīng)]人能接近你，說明自我批評(píng)可能導(dǎo)致他人無法靠近，是一種控制他人的形式。故E項(xiàng)符合語境，E項(xiàng)中的Self-criticism對(duì)應(yīng)上文中的criticize yourself。
11.D　本段的中心思想是不要把個(gè)人資料作為自我夸耀的方式。故D項(xiàng)符合語境，D項(xiàng)中的show off對(duì)應(yīng)下文中的boast。
12.F　本段第一句的建議是不要把個(gè)人資料拿來做廣告或銷售，可推測(cè)本句應(yīng)該說明獲得商業(yè)客戶的正確做法，故F項(xiàng)符合語境。
13.C　根據(jù)下文可知，本段的建議是在寫個(gè)人資料前尋求幫助。故C項(xiàng)（在寫之前尋求幫助是很重要的）符合語境。
Ⅲ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。Cassandra Warren不小心將自己的一封婚禮請(qǐng)柬寫錯(cuò)了地址，卻帶來了意外的收獲。
14.D　根據(jù)下文可知，Cassandra Warren收到了返回的請(qǐng)柬。
15.D　根據(jù)下文可知，Cassandra Warren寫錯(cuò)了地址。由此可知，她當(dāng)時(shí)很匆忙。
16.A　根據(jù)下文可知，Cassandra Warren寫錯(cuò)了地址，因此請(qǐng)柬應(yīng)該是被退回。
17.A　根據(jù)下文who the mystery note writer is可知，Cassandra Warren收到的是便條。
18.C　由于她把地址寫錯(cuò)了，收到請(qǐng)柬的應(yīng)是陌生人，因此這個(gè)陌生人會(huì)說但愿我認(rèn)識(shí)你。
19.C　這里說明信封里面還包含一張20美元的鈔票。
20.B　這里表示這對(duì)夫婦不知道這封信是誰寫的。have no idea意為“絲毫不知道”。
21.C　Cassandra和Jesse用意外收到的20美元美餐了一頓，自然是非常開心的。
22.A　Cassandra進(jìn)了一家商店，應(yīng)該是去買一張賀卡。
23.D　根據(jù)下文的incorrect address on the envelope可知，這里Cassandra應(yīng)該是寫下地址。
24.C　Cassandra第一次是不小心寫錯(cuò)了地址，而這次則是故意寫錯(cuò)地址。
25.D　由于Cassandra不認(rèn)識(shí)對(duì)方，因此她應(yīng)該稱呼好心的陌生人。
26.A　Cassandra這里應(yīng)該是感謝對(duì)方花時(shí)間和金錢寄給她便箋。
27.D　對(duì)Cassandra來說，收到便箋是一件幸福的事。
28.C　Cassandra認(rèn)為對(duì)方是世上少見的好心人，自然是對(duì)其非常感激。

[2]Claire didn’t want the robot in her house， especially as her husband would be away on a business trip④ for three weeks， but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldn’t harm her or allow her to be harmed.It would be a bonus⑤.However， when she first saw the robot， she felt alarmed⑥.His name was Tony.He seemed more like⑦ a human than a machine.He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice， [3]although his facial expression never changed.

On the second morning，Tony brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing.She felt embarrassed⑧ and quickly told him to go.[4]Now she was being looked after by a robot that looked so human， and it was disturbing⑨.
One day， Claire mentioned that she didn’t think she was clever.Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that.Claire thought it was ridiculous⑩ that she was being offered sympathy by a robot， but she gradually admired his wisdom and integrity and began to trust him. He always treated her with dignity . [5]She told him how she was unhappy that her home wasn’t elegant enough for Larry， who wanted to improve his social position with a bigger salary . She wasn’t like Gladys Claffern， one of the richest and most powerful women around.
As a favour ， Tony promised to help Claire make herself more beautiful and her home more elegant.So Claire borrowed some library books for him to read， or rather ， scan .[6]She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page.How absurd ， she thought.He was just a machine.

The night of the party arrived.The clock struck eight.The guests would be arriving soon， so Claire dismissed Tony for the rest of the night.At that moment， Tony took her in his arms， bringing his face close to hers.

克萊爾并不想家里有個(gè)機(jī)器人，尤其是在她丈夫要出差三周的時(shí)候，但是拉里勸她說機(jī)器人不會(huì)傷害她，也不會(huì)讓她受到傷害。還會(huì)是個(gè)意外收獲。然而，第一次看到機(jī)器人時(shí)，克萊爾還是有點(diǎn)驚慌。這個(gè)機(jī)器人名叫托尼，看著不太像機(jī)器，而更像一個(gè)真人。托尼高大英俊，頭發(fā)順滑，嗓音低沉，不過他的面部表情始終不變。
　　第二天早晨，托尼給克萊爾端來了早餐，還問她是否需要幫忙穿衣打扮。克萊爾感到非常尷尬，立刻讓托尼走開。現(xiàn)在，她正由一個(gè)看起來這么像人類的機(jī)器人照料著，這很令人不安。
有一天，克萊爾說她覺得自己并不聰明。托尼說她肯定是感到很不開心才會(huì)這么說。克萊爾覺得一個(gè)機(jī)器人對(duì)她表示同情十分荒謬，但她逐漸欣賞托尼的智慧和正直，并且開始信任他。托尼對(duì)她彬彬有禮。克萊爾告訴托尼自己多么的不開心，因?yàn)槔镉X得家里不夠雅致；拉里想通過漲工資來提高自己的社會(huì)地位。克萊爾與格拉迪絲·克拉芬不同，后者是當(dāng)?shù)刈钣绣X有勢(shì)的女性之一。
作為一項(xiàng)恩惠，托尼答應(yīng)幫助克萊爾，把她變得更漂亮些，也把她的家變得更雅致些。于是，克萊爾從圖書館借來了一些書讓托尼閱讀，應(yīng)該說是讓他掃視。她驚奇地看著托尼的手指翻動(dòng)書頁(yè)的樣子，心想這太荒唐了。他只不過是一臺(tái)機(jī)器罷了。
托尼給克萊爾做了一個(gè)新發(fā)型，還改善了她的妝容。但是，由于托尼被禁止陪同克萊爾去商店，所以他開具了一張裝修房子所需材料的清單。克萊爾去市中心購(gòu)買了這些東西。她按預(yù)約去美甲后，走進(jìn)了一家高檔時(shí)裝店。女店員對(duì)她很粗魯，于是她打電話給托尼，告訴他說自己受到了不禮貌的對(duì)待。托尼同店員交談之后，店員立刻改變了態(tài)度。克萊爾向托尼道謝，稱托尼為“親愛的”。當(dāng)她轉(zhuǎn)過身來，卻看到格拉迪絲·克拉芬正站在那里。被她發(fā)現(xiàn)了，這多么難堪啊，克萊爾心想。從她臉上的表情判斷，克萊爾知道格拉迪絲認(rèn)為自己出軌了。畢竟她知道克萊爾丈夫的名字是拉里，而不是托尼。雖然完全無辜，克萊爾還是感到內(nèi)疚。
到家后，克萊爾啜泣不止。格拉迪絲是她竭力模仿的對(duì)象。托尼對(duì)克萊爾說，她這樣想有點(diǎn)敏感，其實(shí)她像格拉迪絲一樣好。托尼還建議在他離開，也就是拉里回家的前一天晚上，克萊爾邀請(qǐng)格拉迪絲和她的朋友們到家里來。到那個(gè)時(shí)候，托尼預(yù)計(jì)這棟正在徹底改造的房子將大功告成。
　　托尼的裝修工作穩(wěn)步進(jìn)展。克萊爾試圖幫忙安裝天花板上的吊燈，但從梯子上摔了下來。盡管托尼當(dāng)時(shí)在隔壁房間，但他還是及時(shí)接住了她。托尼抱著她的時(shí)候，她感受到了他身體的熱度。她尖叫了一聲，一把推開他，然后跑回了自己的房間。
聚會(huì)之夜到了。時(shí)鐘敲響了八點(diǎn)整，客人們很快就要到了，克萊爾讓托尼結(jié)束了當(dāng)晚的工作，說當(dāng)夜不再需要他了。就在那一瞬間，托尼將她攬入懷中，慢慢地貼近她的臉龐。克萊爾聽著托尼宣布說他次日并不想離開她，而且他心里的愿望不只是讓她開心而已。就在這時(shí)，前門的門鈴響了。

包你滿意（改編版）
　　拉里·貝爾蒙特在一家機(jī)器人制造公司工作。該公司最近開始試驗(yàn)
家用機(jī)器人。機(jī)器人將由拉里的妻子克萊爾進(jìn)行試用。
　　克萊爾并不想家里有個(gè)機(jī)器人，尤其是在她丈夫要出差三周的時(shí)
候，但是拉里勸她說機(jī)器人不會(huì)傷害她，也不會(huì)讓她受到傷害。還會(huì)
是個(gè)意外收獲。然而，第一次看到機(jī)器人時(shí)，克萊爾還是有點(diǎn)驚慌。
這個(gè)機(jī)器人名叫托尼，看著不太像機(jī)器，而更像一個(gè)真人。托尼高大
英俊，頭發(fā)順滑，嗓音低沉，不過他的面部表情始終不變。
　　第二天早晨，托尼給克萊爾端來了早餐，還問她是否需要幫忙穿
衣打扮。克萊爾感到非常尷尬，立刻讓托尼走開。現(xiàn)在，她正由一個(gè)
看起來這么像人類的機(jī)器人照料著，這很令人不安。
　　有一天，克萊爾說她覺得自己并不聰明。托尼說她肯定是感到很
不開心才會(huì)這么說。克萊爾覺得一個(gè)機(jī)器人對(duì)她表示同情十分荒謬，
但她逐漸欣賞托尼的智慧和正直，并且開始信任他。托尼對(duì)她彬彬有
禮。克萊爾告訴托尼自己多么的不開心，因?yàn)槔镉X得家里不夠雅
致；拉里想通過漲工資來提高自己的社會(huì)地位。克萊爾與格拉迪絲·克
拉芬不同，后者是當(dāng)?shù)刈钣绣X有勢(shì)的女性之一。
　　作為一項(xiàng)恩惠，托尼答應(yīng)幫助克萊爾，把她變得更漂亮些，也把
她的家變得更雅致些。于是，克萊爾從圖書館借來了一些書讓托尼閱
讀，應(yīng)該說是讓他掃視。她驚奇地看著托尼的手指翻動(dòng)書頁(yè)的樣子，
心想這太荒唐了。他只不過是一臺(tái)機(jī)器罷了。
　　托尼給克萊爾做了一個(gè)新發(fā)型，還改善了她的妝容。但是，由于
托尼被禁止陪同克萊爾去商店，所以他開具了一張裝修房子所需材料
的清單。克萊爾去市中心購(gòu)買了這些東西。她按預(yù)約去美甲后，走進(jìn)
了一家高檔時(shí)裝店。女店員對(duì)她很粗魯，于是她打電話給托尼，告訴
他說自己受到了不禮貌的對(duì)待。托尼同店員交談之后，店員立刻改變
了態(tài)度。克萊爾向托尼道謝，稱托尼為“親愛的”。當(dāng)她轉(zhuǎn)過身來，
卻看到格拉迪絲·克拉芬正站在那里。被她發(fā)現(xiàn)了，這多么難堪啊，克
萊爾心想。從她臉上的表情判斷，克萊爾知道格拉迪絲認(rèn)為自己出軌
了。畢竟她知道克萊爾丈夫的名字是拉里，而不是托尼。雖然完全無
辜，克萊爾還是感到內(nèi)疚。
　　到家后，克萊爾啜泣不止。格拉迪絲是她竭力模仿的對(duì)象。托尼
對(duì)克萊爾說，她這樣想有點(diǎn)敏感，其實(shí)她像格拉迪絲一樣好。托尼還
建議在他離開，也就是拉里回家的前一天晚上，克萊爾邀請(qǐng)格拉迪絲
和她的朋友們到家里來。到那個(gè)時(shí)候，托尼預(yù)計(jì)這棟正在徹底改造的
房子將大功告成。
　　托尼的裝修工作穩(wěn)步進(jìn)展。克萊爾試圖幫忙安裝天花板上的吊
燈，但從梯子上摔了下來。盡管托尼當(dāng)時(shí)在隔壁房間，但他還是及時(shí)
接住了她。托尼抱著她的時(shí)候，她感受到了他身體的熱度。她尖叫了
一聲，一把推開他，然后跑回了自己的房間。
　　聚會(huì)之夜到了。時(shí)鐘敲響了八點(diǎn)整，客人們很快就要到了，克萊
爾讓托尼結(jié)束了當(dāng)晚的工作，說當(dāng)夜不再需要他了。就在那一瞬間，
托尼將她攬入懷中，慢慢地貼近她的臉龐。克萊爾聽著托尼宣布說他
次日并不想離開她，而且他心里的愿望不只是讓她開心而已。就在這
時(shí)，前門的門鈴響了。

（2024·合肥高二下質(zhì)檢）Way back in the early 1940s — long
before smart phones， Siri and semi-autonomous weapons — the late great
sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov drew up a set of principles for the development
of advanced robotic systems.
　　Asimov was essentially an optimist， and his famous Three Laws of
Robotics have influence in science and technology circles to this day.
　　（1）A robot may not injure a human being or， through inaction，
allow a human being to come to harm.（2）A robot must obey the orders
given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the
First Law. （3）A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
　　Now， almost 80 years later， legal academic and artificial
intelligence expert Frank Pasquale has added four additional principles.
Professor Pasquale says while Asimov’s ideas were well founded， they
assumed a certain technological trajectory （軌跡） that no longer
holds — innovations are not always for the good of humanity.
　　“Whereas Asimov is talking about how we have robots help people
and not harm them， I’m talking about how we guide the direction of
technology，” he says. And he draws an important distinction between
AI and what he terms IA — intelligence augmentation （增強(qiáng)）.
　　“The artificial intelligence goal is often to replace human beings，
to create， for example， a robot doctor or a robot teacher. The
intelligence augmentation goal is to help human beings.”
　　“If we go for an artificial intelligence vision of replacement，
that’s going to create a jobless future in many areas，” he says.
“Whereas if we emphasise intelligence augmentation， that should
actually increase both productivity and the value of labour.”
　　“We’ve seen so many fields where technological advances have led
to very troubling and harmful consequences like global warming. We’ve
got to get ahead of these things，” he says. “We can’t just look at
something like global warming and say， well， we’ll just get a
technological fix out of it. We have to think very deeply about directing
innovation.”

作家Isaac Asimov提出了著名的“機(jī)器人三定律”。時(shí)至今天，人工

作家Isaac Asimov提出了著名的“機(jī)器人三定律”。時(shí)至今天，人工
智能專家Frank Pasquale認(rèn)為，要約束機(jī)器人僅僅依靠這三條定律是
不夠的。
1. What can we learn about Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics？
（　　）
A. They ignore robots’ interests.
B. They focus on humans’ interests.
C. They predict the development of AI.
D. They have a history of nearly 70 years.
解析： 　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知，Isaac Asimov提出的
“機(jī)器人三定律”重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)保護(hù)人的安全和利益，不過它們也沒有
忽略機(jī)器人存在的權(quán)利。
2. Which of the following beliefs did Isaac Asimov agree with？（　　）
A. IA is more important than AI.
B. Innovations do good to people.
C. Robots will replace human beings.
D. Technology can be harmful to people.
解析： 　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段可知，人工智能專家Frank
Pasquale認(rèn)為，雖然Isaac Asimov的想法有充分根據(jù)，但它們假設(shè)了
某種不再成立的技術(shù)發(fā)展軌跡——（如今）創(chuàng)新并不總是對(duì)人類有
利。這說明Isaac Asimov認(rèn)為創(chuàng)新是對(duì)人類有利的。
3. What is the core of intelligence augmentation？（　　）
A. The development of robots.
B. Humans’ depending on robots.
C. The improvement of humans.
D. Robots’ replacing human beings.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五至七段可知，AI強(qiáng)調(diào)的是人工智
能的快速發(fā)展從而取代人類，而IA強(qiáng)調(diào)的是：在機(jī)器的幫助下，讓
人變得更強(qiáng)大、生產(chǎn)效率和勞動(dòng)價(jià)值都得到提高。
4. What attitude does Frank Pasquale take to technological advances？
（　　）
A. Negative and worried.
B. Doubtful and confused.
C. Optimistic and confident.
D. Reasonable and cautious.
解析： 　觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，F(xiàn)rank Pasquale認(rèn)為，
技術(shù)進(jìn)步已經(jīng)給人類帶來一些非常令人不安和有害的后果，我們必
須走在技術(shù)進(jìn)步的前面。也就是說我們要預(yù)見一些可能的不良后果
并引導(dǎo)科學(xué)技術(shù)朝良性發(fā)展。由此可知，F(xiàn)rank Pasquale并沒有反
對(duì)技術(shù)進(jìn)步，只是提醒我們對(duì)技術(shù)進(jìn)步保持理性和謹(jǐn)慎的態(tài)度。

（2024·煙臺(tái)高二下月考）The question of whether or not we are alone in
the galaxy is one that has interested everyone.From Superman to ET，
films have brought aliens to the Earth as friends or enemies but， as yet，
no one has proved they have ever seen an alien apart from on film or TV.
　　In 1960， a radio telescope was pointed out into space to listen for
signs of aliens， trying to add scientific fact to the question：“Is
anybody out there？” But 50 years on， nobody knows the answer to it.
　　“It’s probably the most important question there is，” says Dr
Frank Drake， who was a pioneer of radio astronomy.“What does it
mean to be a human being？ What is our future？ Are there other creatures
like us？ What have they become？ What can evolution produce？ How
far can it go？ It will all come out of learning of aliens and this will
certainly enrich our lives like nothing else could.”
　　“We should be prepared for aliens，” says professor of space
science John Zarnecki， from the Open University.Stephen Hawking says
aliens almost certainly exist and senior astronomer Seth Shostak denies the
possibility that there’s nothing to search for.
　　But if there are aliens， then the question is：“Why haven’t we
got any firm evidence of their existence？” This was a question asked by
the physicist Enrico Fermi as far back as 1950， saying “Where is
everybody？”
　　But Dr Drake has a more simple answer to why life hasn’t been
found：“We just haven’t tried enough，” he says.“We’ve looked
carefully at only a few thousand stars and very few channels and that’s
hardly even a start.There may be around 10，000 civilisations we can
discover in the galaxy.That’s one in 10，000，000 stars.Before we
have a good chance of succeeding， we still have a long way to go.”

5. What are the stories of Superman and ET？（　　）
A. Real events. B. Artists’ imagination.
C. Personal experiences. D. Scientists’ discoveries.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段可知，人們除了在電影和電視
里看到外星人以外，沒有任何人能證明見到過外星人。由此判斷，
電影Superman和ET中的外星人建立在藝術(shù)家的想象基礎(chǔ)之上。
6. Dr Frank Drake asks some questions in Paragraph 3 to 　　　　.
（　　）
A. prove the existence of aliens
B. doubt the existence of aliens
C. express his interest in human beings’ future
D. show the importance of understanding aliens
解析： 　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知，F(xiàn)rank Drake博士提出很
多問題，都是為最后一句話作鋪墊。那就是證明這一切（問題）都
是源于對(duì)外星人的了解并且這一問題將極大地豐富人類的生活。
7. Who doesn’t believe the existence of aliens？（　　）
A. Enrico Fermi. B. Dr Frank Drake.
C. John Zarnecki. D. Stephen Hawking.

Fermi不相信外星人的存在。根據(jù)上文可知，其他三人都相信外
星人的存在。
8. Why haven’t we found aliens according to Dr Frank Drake？

　　（2024·浙江四校高二下聯(lián)考）Personal profiles are an excellent
way to express information into a simple format.Here are some basic steps
that you’ll want to follow.
　　Share positive things， but not excessive.Everyone has problems，
but no one wants to read a bunch of negative soul-searching.Don’t
complain， or endlessly describe your health problems， relationship
dramas， kid problems， etc.9.（　　）
　　Take pride in who you are and what you are all about.It isn’t helpful
to criticize yourself.It makes people uncomfortable and it’s annoying to
feel that you have to build up another person’s value constantly.10.
（　　） No one can get close to you.The girl who says she is fat and shy
relentlessly will turn people away.
　　11. （　　） There are groups who believe that their jobs are to
convert the world to their ways of thinking.Although it may seem
urgent， the personal profile is not the venue to boast.It will not promote
your message in a healthy way.
　　Don’t advertise or sell.12.（　　） The personal profile is about
you and should not be used to make money.The sites you use may put ads
on， but that is how they generate funds to keep the sites free.
　　13. （　　） This is your own little message to the world.If you use
other people’s tips to make a profile， everyone can enjoy the benefits.
A. Write in outline format.
B. Don’t say it in a long sentence.
C. It’s important to seek help before writing.
D. Don’t use your profile as a place to show off.
E. Self-criticism is really a form of control over others.
F. If you need customers， use a known business network.
G. People who do this have warning signs on their profiles.
