[课 下 作 业] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I was in the garden with Augie,my grandson,watching the bees.“How do they make honey?”Augie asked.“Actually,Augie,I don’t know,”I replied.“But,Grandmom,you have your phone,”he said.For Augie,holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything. During my childhood I was crazy about a powerful device (设备) that transports the user to an alternate reality.I spent most of my waking hours on it,unaware of the world around me.The device was,of course,the book.Over time,reading hijacked(控制)my brain,as large areas once processing the real world adapted to processing the printed word.As far as I can tell,this early immersion(沉浸)didn’t prevent my development,but it did leave me with some illusions(幻想)—my idea of romantic love surely came from novels. Many parents worry that “screen time” will damage children’s development,but recent research suggests that most of the common fears about children and screens are unfounded.There is one exception: looking at screens before bed really disturbs sleep,in people of all ages.The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) used to recommend strict restrictions on screen exposure.Last year,the organization examined the relevant science more thoroughly and changed its recommendations.The new guidelines emphasize that what matters is content and context,what children watch and with whom. New tools have always led to panicky guesses.The novel,the telephone,and the television were all declared to be the End of Civilization,particularly in the hands of the young.Part of the reason may be that adult brains require a lot of focus and effort to learn something new,while children’s brains are designed to master new environments naturally.New technologies always seem disturbing to the adults attempting to master them,and transparent and obvious—not really technology at all—to those children like Augie. When Augie’s father got home,Augie rushed to meet him and said in excitement.“Daddy,Daddy,look,” he said,reaching for my phone.“Do you know how bees make honey? I’ll show you...” 【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。作者认为,手机和电脑是现代人获取信息的重要工具,我们要做的不是禁止孩子们使用,而是对其进行必要的引导。 1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A.To introduce a topic. B.To present an argument. C.To clarify the author’s writing purpose. D.To give information on main characters. 答案 A [写作意图题。联系第一段中的holding a smartphone almost means knowing everything和下文对是否应该禁止孩子使用手机、电脑等设备的论述可以推知,作者在第一段中通过与孙子的对话引出了本文将要讨论的话题。] 2.What can be learned about the author? A.She had an unhappy childhood. B.She was interested in reading novels. C.She was addicted to an electronic device. D.She paid much attention to the real world. 答案 B [推理判断题。根据第二段中的reading hijacked my brain和my idea of romantic love surely came from novels可以推知,作者小时候很喜欢读小说。] 3.What does the AAP probably advise people to do? A.Limit children’s screen time. B.Don’t chat online with strangers. C.Don’t stare at a screen before bedtime. D.Guide children on their screen devices. 答案 D [推理判断题。根据第三段中的the organization...what children watch and with whom可以推知,American Academy of Pediatrics认为影响孩子们的是“看什么”和“和谁看”,而不是“看多久”,因此家长应该在孩子们使用电脑、手机等屏幕设备时进行引导。] 4.In the author’s opinion,why do adults react to new things differently from children? A.They don’t want to change. B.Their learning ability decreases with age. C.They have no desire for the dynamic world. D.Their learning methods differ from children’s. 答案 D [细节理解题。根据第四段中的Part of the reason may be that...designed to master new environments naturally可知,成年人学习新事物需要专注和努力,而小孩子则是很自然就掌握了新知识,这两种不同的学习方式导致了二者对新事物所表现出的不同态度。] B Fairy tales perform many functions.They entertain,they encourage imagination,and they teach problem-solving skills.They can also provide moral (道德的) lessons. Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot,but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) believes it has found a way to turn the instructive fable (寓言) into a moral lesson and let artificial intelligence (AI) take it to its cold,mechanical heart. This,the researchers hope,will help prevent the intelligent robots from harming or even killing humanity,which is predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology,including Stephen Hawking,Elon Musk and Bill Gates. “The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fables,novels and other literature,” said Mark Riedl,an associate professor of interactive computing at Georgia Tech,who has been working on the technology with research scientist Brent Harrison.So they believe that story comprehension in robots can also get rid of violent or dangerous behavior and help them make choices that won’t harm humans and still achieve the intended purpose. Their system is called “Quixote”.The example story involves going to a chemist to buy some medication for a human who needs it as quickly as possible.The robot has three choices.It can wait in line; it can communicate with the chemist politely and buy the medicine; or it can steal the medicine. Without any further instructions,the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of getting the medicine is to steal it.Quixote offers a reward signal for waiting in line and politely buying the medication and a punishment signal for taking it without permission.In this way,it learns the “moral”way to behave in that situation. 【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章报道了一项关于人工智能研究领域的新进展——对机器人进行道德培训。 5.What is the concern of the three top technology experts mentioned in Paragraph 3? A.The difficulties of the GIT scientists. B.The high costs of AI development. C.The problems with moral lessons. D.The potential threat from robots. 答案 D [细节理解题。 由第三段的“intelligent robots from harming or even killing humanity...including Stephen Hawking,Elon Musk and Bill Gates”可知,这三位顶级科技专家担心机器人可能会给人类带来威胁。] 6.Which of the following inspired the idea of the study? A.Kids’ great interest in fairy tales. B.Stories’ moral influence on children. C.The link between stories and cultures. D.Robots’ creative ability to read stories. 答案 B [细节理解题。由第四段的“The collected stories...and other literature”和“So they believe that story comprehension in robots can...”可知,寓言对孩子们在道德方面产生的影响让科学家们产生了研究灵感。] 7.What is most important for the robot in the example story? A.Buying the cheapest medicine. B.Getting the most effective medicine. C.Buying the medicine from the best chemist. D.Getting the medicine in the shortest time. 答案 D [推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“The example...buy some medication for a human who needs it as quickly as possible”可知,对于样本故事中的机器人来说,最重要的是在最短的时间内拿到药品。] 8.What is the role of Quixote when the robot buys the medicine? A.Help the robot choose the right medicine. B.Give the robot specific instructions. C.Offer the robot a lot of rewards. D.Send out various signals. 答案 D [推理判断题。由最后一段的“Quixote offers a reward signal for waiting in line and politely buying the medication and a punishment signal for taking it without permission”可知,在机器人买药的时候,Quixote负责发出不同的暗示信号。] Ⅱ.七选五 (2018·济南市高三高考模拟)Steel is a hard metal that people use to make many different products.Car bodies,bridges,building frames,and containers are just a few of the things made from steel.__1__ But steel is better than iron in many ways.Steel is stronger but lighter than iron.Steel also lasts longer than iron. __2__ Then they add carbon to the liquid iron.They may also add other materials to make different types of steel.For example,steel with added chromium (铬) is called stainless steel.It will not rust (生锈) or stain.Finally,workers use machines to cool the liquid steel into bars or long sheets.__3__ People made the first steel as early as 1400 BC.Ancient people heated iron inside a pile of burning charcoal (木炭).__4__ The result was not the same as modern steel,but it was stronger than regular iron.
