35、Googles Word Lens can translate words from signs and documents in real time and there are a lot of translation apps that allow you to type in a word or phrase and will translate it for you.”可知,谷歌的Word Lens可以进行实时翻译。故选A项。2.B细节理解题。根据第二部分中的“The booths probably cant handle customer service problems well,

36、so televideo systems could bring in an office employee to deal with complaints.”可知,自动订餐亭的服务问题不能自动处理。故选B项。3.C句意猜测题。由最后一段“If youre selling a high-differentiation product or a high-price,low-volume(体积) product,you have some job security,but if youre selling a high-volume,low-differentiation product,you

37、 better start polishing your resume”中的转折连词but可知,“you better start polishing your resume”的意思应该与“you have some job security”相反,所以该句暗含的意思是 “你应该考虑改变工作”。故选C项。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌智囊团做了一项测试研究“神经网络”计算系统,这项测试被认为是计算机学习技能发展的一大步。4.B推理判断题。根据第一段内容和第四段中“This test is considered a big step in the development of co

38、mputers learning skills.”可知,进行测试的目的是研究计算机系统如何工作和学习。故选B项。5.B细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,计算系统在测试中工作的过程是:得到信息加密生成代码解密得到信息。故选B项。6.D推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知,霍金的话表明人工智能是一把双刃剑。故选D项。7.A推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,斯图纳斯对人工智能的发展持充满希望的态度。故选A项。.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章讲述了科技发展的历史,说明高科技时代的到来仍然是基于人类使用工具能力的发展,并阐述了不同阶段科技发展的优缺点。1.A空格前是逗号,讲述古代人们运用工具的情况,首字母不大写

39、,确定A、D项。A项中的“use stone axes to cut down trees and drill wood for fire”对应下文的“these abilities”,且与第一段的“human ability to use tools”呼应。故选A项。2.D空格前是逗号,所填句子首字母不大写,确定A、D项。根据“On the positive side”可知,此处描述人们制作交通工具的积极影响,D项中的“enhanced the carrying capacity and had more functions”说明了其积极作用,与下文的“On the negative sid

40、e”相互呼应。故选D项。3.E上文说明17、19世纪人类有许多发明,下文说明了这些发明的积极作用和消极作用都提高了,因此推断空格处承上启下,故E项“积极方面和消极方面都按比例增加”符合语境。故选E项。4.B上文说明核能的出现以及优势大幅度增加,下文说明其消极影响也大幅度提高。因此推断空格处也是在讲述核能的优势,B项中的“In addition”与上文构成递进关系,继续说明核能的益处,即“nuclear deterrence stabilized the world situation”。故选B项。5.F下文说明互联网带来的不利之处,由But可推断,空格处说明互联网、人工智能等的积极的影响,F项“然而,互联网、人工智能、新能源开发等新兴领域给人类带来了巨大的利益”与下文的举例一致,且“greatly benefited mankind”说明了它们的好处,与下文是转折关系。故选F项。- 6 -
