2022.2023学年湖北省襄阳市重点中学六校高二（下）期中英语 联考试卷（A卷）一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共37.5分）AThroughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence （AI） .Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.Meta's speech-to-speech translationFacebook's parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese.In addition, developers used an encoding （编码） tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien lo similar English text.Method to identify Parkinson*s diseaseResearchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson*s disease.The system works by measuring a person's breathing patterns during sleep.With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson's up to 86 percent of the time.With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotionsResearchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives.The scientists developed an Al-driven algorithm （算法） to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing.lt is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writingsResearchers - led by Alphabets AI company DeepMind - said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings.The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rat： for repairing damaged writings is3 8. My great-grandmother Eileen is ambitious, determined, loyal, strong and a bit of legend in her own lifetime, which now reaches 92 years.I should add that we're not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless.One day, I paid a visit to her.On my arrival, seeing my low spirits, she asked me whether I had prepared to get a new start.I just kept silent.Without any more words, she picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table, saying "You do know what you're doing with these things, don't you? ”It was a new phone.Her current mobile was pretty ancient.'Tes, HI said."Good.Thats why I ask you.You young people know more about such things than us oldies.You can take it home and get it all set up, " she went on. "Then, when you bring it back, show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on." She smiled so sweetly.Setting up the phone would be easy, but teaching her how to use it might be challenging. The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother's with the phone. "Here's your phone.It's all ready to use/'For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode （密码） and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.When I finally got her to swipe （滑动屏幕），she didn*t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away.After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. nTake it away!" she howled. "I want my old phone back!nI picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn't want to go home when she was angry.注意：（1）续写词数应为150左右；（2）请在答题卡的相应位置作答。“Come on, Eileen.One more try." I said.I was not feeling so hopeless any more now.答案和解析13.【答案】B、D、A【解析 J （1）细节理解题。根据 Meta's speech-to-speech translation 部分的 Facebook's parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language （脸书的前 身Meta说他已经建造了一种科技工具，能在英语和闽南语之间直接翻译）可知，Meta的语言和 语言之间的翻译能用于跨文化交流，故选B项。（2）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段The tool, called Ithaca,is designed to help historians repair the writings （这个工具叫Ithaca,设计目的是帮助历史学家修复 文字）可知，历史学家最有可能对Ithaca感兴趣，故选D项。（3）推理判断题。根据第段 Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022 （下面回 顾一下2022年的一些著名的人工智能研制成果）以及Meta's speech-to-speech translation部分的 it had built a technology tool （他建造了一个科技工具）、Method to identify Parkinson's disease 部分 的 Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson's disease （研究人员公布了一项识别 帕金森综合征的新的人工智能方法）、Tool to interpret pig emotions部分中的they had created a technology tool （他们已经制造出了一种科技工具）以及Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings 部分的 The tool, called Ithaca （这种工具名叫 Ithaca） 可知，这四个发明的共同之处是他们都是由人工智能驱动的科技工具。A.
