【题目】

Sign posts to AI From Apple’s virtual(虚拟的) assistant Siri to self-driving cars, AI brings to the society something new and advanced. But in fact, it’s not the new fashion at all. Below let’s take a look at the long journey of AI’s development together.
2017 It is not uncommon to see people get citizenship. But Sophia, a robot designed by Hanson robotics, a Hong Kong-based AI robot company, was also given citizenship by the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This made robots for the first time to share every equal right with human beings.	2016 Dogs are our best friends, but what about having a robot as a pet? Roobo, a Chinese AI startup developed a “pet robot ” name Domgy. It had “smart-home” features that gave its owners weather forecasts, changed television channel and even guarded the home like a dog. Thanks to advanced technology, perhaps robots will one day become our close friends.
1997 As the creation of human beings, AI is always thought as inferior to its creator. But Deep Blue, a computer chess-playing program developed by US computer IBM shocked the whole world. It beat a world chess champion Garry Kasparov in the international match. That marked a new step of AI technology.	2004 Humans are special for their imagination and creativity. However, Microsoft’s XiaoIce broke this law. Just like us, “she” could write her own poetry and put them together as The Sunlight that Lost the Glass Window, a book of poems.
1979 Self-driving cars have been around for a lot longer than you might think. In 1979, a self-driven car called The Stanford Cart crossed a chair-filled room without human help in about five hours. It was one of the earliest examples of an autonomous vehicle.	1966 Shakey was the first general-purpose mobile robot to be able to reason about its own actions. “She” could analyze commands and break them down into basic chunks on “her” own. The US Life Magazine calls Shakey the “first electronic person” of AI.
1951 Perhaps you’ve never thought about whether machines can think, but the idea obsessed(使着迷) UK AI computer scientist Alan Turing. Turing adapted the imitation game to make the Turing test. Although the test failed, it inspired AI researchers and began a new age in the history of AI.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】C

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

本文主要讲述了人工智能的发展历程。

【1】细节理解题。Sophia, a robot designed by Hanson robotics；“pet robot ” name Domgy；Deep Blue；Microsoft’s XiaoIce；a self-driven car called The Stanford Cart；及Shakey，所以文中共提到6种人工智能产品。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据In 1979, a self-driven car called The Stanford Cart crossed a chair-filled room可知是1979年，而不是1997年，故A错误；根据a “pet robot ” name Domgy. It had “smart-home” features that gave its owners weather forecasts,可知能给主人天气预报的是Domgy，而不是Deep Blue，故B错误；根据The US Life Magazine calls Shakey the “first electronic person” of AI.可知C正确；根据最后一段Although the test failed, it inspired AI researchers可知这个实验是失败的，故D错误。故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据However, Microsoft’s XiaoIce broke this law. Just like us, “she” could write her own poetry and put them together as The Sunlight that Lost the Glass Window, a book of poems.可知文中的she指的是XiaoIce，这本书是由XiaoIce写的，故选C。

【4】主旨大意题。通过第一段Below let’s take a look at the long journey of AI’s development together.及阅读全文可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能的发展历程，故选A。

【5】推理判断题。本文是关于人工智能的发展历程，是有关科技的文章，故可能在杂志上看到，故选C。

本文是一篇有关人工人工智能的科普类说明文，内容远离我们的日常生活，所以不太易于理解，但是短文内容条理非常清晰，用了总分总的文章结构。阅读时，我们只需先理解每一段的大意，再根据题目要求，在相应的段落找到文章细节即可。例如第1小题，要找出短文中共提到了几种人工智能产品，中间6个小段落分别提到了其中一种产品，所以一共6中人工智能产品。
