答案

一、閱讀理解題（共5題）

1.【答案】

(1)B

(2)A

(3)D

(4)C

【解析】

(1)本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。近年來(lái)，人工智能發(fā)展迅速，但是人工智能方面的人才匱乏。數(shù)學(xué)家RachelThomas發(fā)明的Fast.ai應(yīng)用程序用非傳統(tǒng)的方法來(lái)迅速培養(yǎng)人工智能類人才，文章對(duì)此內(nèi)容做了具體說(shuō)明。

段落大意題。根據(jù)本段后兩句“Earningonetakesyearsandrequiresapersonwhocanbedevotedtostudy,whichisrareamongnormalpeople.Moreover,graduatestudentsareregularlyattractedawayfromtheirstudiesbyvarioushigh-paidjobs.”可知，獲得此類博士學(xué)位需要多年的努力學(xué)習(xí)，很多普通人難以做到。由此可見(jiàn)本段主要講述獲得博士學(xué)位的困難。

(2)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Thecoursecomeswithasimpleidea:thereisnoneedtospendyearsobtainingaDoctor'sdegreeinordertopractisedeeplearning.Fast.ai'scoursecanbecompletedinjustsevenweeks.”可知，F(xiàn)ast.ai課程并不需要多年學(xué)習(xí)來(lái)獲得人工智能的博士學(xué)位，它的課程在7個(gè)星期內(nèi)完成。由此可見(jiàn)這一課程的目的在于迅速培養(yǎng)AI類畢業(yè)生。

(3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Thatischanging.LastmonthFast.ai,aneducationnon-profitbasedinSanFrancisco,kickedoffthethirdyearofitscourseindeeplearning.”和第五段中的“Fast.aiisnottheonlyAIprogramme.AI4ALL,anothernon-profitorganization,foundedbyleadingtechnologistsincludingDr.Fei-FeiLi,workstobringAIeducationtoschoolchildrenthatwouldotherwisenothaveaccesstoit.”可知，F(xiàn)ast.ai和AI4ALL都是非營(yíng)利組織。

(4)觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“Theambition,saysMrHoward,isforAItrainingsoftwaretobecomeaseasytouseandcommonassendinganemailonasmartphone.”可知，MrHoward認(rèn)為AItrainingsoftware可以很容易使用，就像是在智能手機(jī)里發(fā)郵件那樣常見(jiàn)。由此可見(jiàn)他對(duì)AItrainingsoftware的未來(lái)是很樂(lè)觀的。

2.【答案】

(1)C

(2)B

(3)A

(4)B

【解析】

(1)本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，一項(xiàng)新的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，季節(jié)的變化對(duì)個(gè)人的音樂(lè)偏好有著不同的影響。

寫作意圖題。第一段提出問(wèn)題之后，第二段馬上切入本文的主題“TherelationshipbetweenthechangeofseasonsandmusicalpreferenceswasthefocusofastudyledbypsychologistTerryPettijohn.”由此可以推斷，第一段提出問(wèn)題的目的是引入關(guān)于音樂(lè)偏好的話題。

(2)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句可知，人們是否生活在一個(gè)穩(wěn)定的環(huán)境中會(huì)對(duì)個(gè)人的音樂(lè)偏好產(chǎn)生影響。

(3)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Spring,however,isadifferentstory.Itrepresentsafreshstartandwhenclocksspringforward,wegainanextrahourofdaylight.”可以推斷，春天對(duì)于人們有著特別的意義。

(4)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“Andthesefindings,Pettijohnargues,havepracticalsignificances.”可知，Pettijohn覺(jué)得他的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)具有重大意義。

3.【答案】

(1)Playingmusicandcreatingmusic.

(2)HecreatedShimontoinspirehimwithnewmusicalideas.

(3)NowadaysAIcreatesmanyjobsforhumans,butithasanegativeeffectontheworkofartists.

(4)Inmyopinion,AIhasbothbenefitsanddrawbacks.O
