一、阅读选择
According to cognitive scientist Ben Goertzel, the world is experiencing a historic moment in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Goertzel acknowledges that there is plenty of hype (炒作) surrounding the technology but believes that the new large language models that power generative AI have the potential to change the world.
Goertzel believes that generative AI models — like the one that powers ChatGPT-have the potential to replace many tasks currently performed by human workers. Fast-food workers and news copy editors, for example, are impacted by AI.
“Tools like Grammarly decrease the need for human editors,” Goertzel said. “They don’t entirely eliminate the job but they decrease that need. Automatic tools can be used for writing journalistic articles. They’ve been writing. . . sports score summaries and weather reports for a long time.”
Despite this, he identifies two main areas AI will not replace: jobs that rely on human interaction and require groundbreaking creativity.
“So one class of things that won’t be eliminated are jobs where the essence is human contact,” like preschool teachers, political strategists, and artists.
Generative AI chatbots are so powerful that it’s difficult to avoid wondering whether the system is conscious.
Goertzel says it doesn’t matter.
“I don’t think we need to resolve the open questions in the philosophy of consciousness to build human-level or even superhuman thinking machines,” he said. “But I think we can make these questions feel irrelevant.”
Goertzel’s insights open a door to understanding the future of AI, and his optimism about the potential of AI to revolutionize the world serves as a powerful reminder of the impact AI may have on society. Whether viewed with excitement or caution, the advancements in AI will surely cause deep thought and discussion for years to come.
1.What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Remove. B.Repeat. C.Improve. D.Solve.
2.Who are likely to be replaced by AI according to Ben Goertzel
A.Artists. B.Fast-food workers.
C.Preschool teachers. D.Political strategists.
3.What is Goertzel’s attitude toward a superhuman thinking machine
A.He likes it. B.He thinks it puzzling.
C.He doesn’t accept it as part of his life. D.He suggests putting its philosophical questions aside.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.A World-Changing Breakthrough in AI B.The Potential of AI in Fast-food Industry
C.Ben Goertzel’s Opinions on the Impact of AI D.The Advancements in Generative AI
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了认知科学家Ben Goertzel表示,他相信为生成人工智能提供动力的新的大型语言模型有可能改变世界。
1.词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句话““Tools like Grammarly decrease the need for human editors,” Goertzel said. (Goertzel说:“像Grammarly这样的工具减少了对人工编辑的需求。”)”以及划线单词所在的后半句话“but they decrease that need (但减少了这种需求)”可知,像Grammarly这样的工具只是减少了对人工编辑的需求,但是并没有完全的消除这种需求,所以划线的单词意为“消除”。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段“Goertzel believes that generative AI models—like the one that powers ChatGPT-have the potential to replace many tasks currently performed by human workers. Fast-food workers and news copy editors, for example, are impacted by AI. (Goertzel认为,生成人工智能模型——比如为ChatGPT提供动力的模型——有可能取代目前由人类工作者执行的许多任务。例如,快餐工人和新闻编辑都受到AI的影响。)”以及第五段““So one class of things that won’t be eliminated are jobs where the essence is human contact,” like preschool teachers, political strategists, and artists. (“因此,一类不会被淘汰的东西是本质上与人接触的工作,”比如学前教师、政治战略家和艺术家。)”可知,快餐工人的工作最有可能被人工智能所取代。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据第八段““I don’t think we need to resolve the open questions in the philosophy of consciousness to build human-level or even superhuman thinking machines,” he said. “But I think we can make these questions feel irrelevant.” (他说:“我认为我们不需要解决意识哲学中的悬而未决的问题来构建人类层面甚至超人的思维机器。”。“但我认为我们可以让这些问题变得无关紧要。”)”可推知, Goertzel对于超人思维机器,可以先不考虑这个哲学意识上的问题。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了认知科学家Ben Goertzel对于目前AI技术的看法,他认为AI有可能会改变世界。所以“Ben Goertzel关于人工智能影响的观点”适合作本文的标题。故选C。
I have spent the last few months with Yang, my new dog, one I am co-raising to be a service dog. He will stay with me for 14 months or so. If he proves to be good enough, he will be sent to the guide dog school for further training and eventually become a seeing-eye dog.
Dogs help people in lots of ways, but service dogs are different from working dogs, therapy (治疗) dogs, and emotional support animals. Service dogs are trained to do specific tasks for people with disabilities. They can pull wheelchairs, get medicine, remind you to take your medicine, help keep you stable while walking, and alert (警示) you to important sounds or dangerous things in your way. Service dogs have lots of different skills, depending on the disability they are trained for.
No matter how you get a service dog, they usually go through a tough training program with an experienced trainer. In the last month of training, the service dog spends time with you and the instructor. The instructor teaches the dog to help you, and tells you how to command, handle, and care for the dog.
Service dogs need obeying skills and other very special skills. When you think about how to get a service dog, consider finding one with relevant characters. They should be calm, be able to learn and hold onto information. To train a service dog, you should start with basic skills like focusing on you, ignoring disturbing factors and being able to stay on task in new places with new people, smells, and animals.
It’s important to keep your dog healthy so that they can best help you. Give your dog access to plenty of fresh water and a balanced diet, and keep their vaccinations (疫苗) updated. Yearly visits to the vet are also important to make sure you catch any changes in your dog’s health.
5.Why does the author mention Yang in paragraph 1
A.To show his emotions. B.To present a mystery.
C.To describe his daily life. D.To introduce the main topic.
6.Who is advised to keep a service dog
A.A healthy animal lover. B.A person with sight disability.
C.A person requiring emotional support. D.A policeman performing a special task.
7.Which of the following is among the basic skills for a service dog
A.Helping the owner to remain calm.
B.Learning to analyzing information.
C.Focusing on disturbing surroundings.
D.Handling different situations and areas.
8.What is the suitable title of the text
A.Caring for Animals B.Helping the Disabled
C.Keeping a Service Dog D.Training a Special Dog
【答案】5.D 6.B 7.D 8.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了服务犬,包括其任务、训练、养护等。
5.推理判断题。根据第一段“I have spent the last few months with Yang, my new dog, one I am co-raising to be a service dog. He will stay with me for 14 months or so. If he proves to be good enough, he will be sent to the guide dog school for further training and eventually become a seeing-eye dog.(在过去的几个月里,我一直和我的新狗Yang在一起,这是我正在共同饲养的一只服务犬。它将在我身边待14个月左右。如果它表现得足够好,它将被送到导盲犬学校接受进一步的训练,最终成为一只导盲犬。)”并结合全文内容可知,本文主要介绍服务犬,第一段提到自己最近养的犬,如果它足够好,将被送去训练成为一只导盲犬。由此可推知,第一段的目的是为了引出文章主题。故选D项。
6.推理判断题。根据第二段的“Service dogs are trained to do specific tasks for people with disabilities. They can pull wheelchairs, get medicine, remind you to take your medicine, help keep you stable while walking, and alert(警示) you to important sounds or dangerous things in your way.(服务犬被训练为残疾人执行特定任务。他们可以拉轮椅、拿药、提醒你吃药、帮助你走路时保持稳定、警示重要的声音或危险的事情。)”可知,服务犬帮助残疾人做特定的任务。由此推知,视力障碍人士可以养服务犬。故选B项。
7.细节理解题。根据第四段“To train a service dog, you should start with basic skills like focusing on you, ignoring disturbing factors and being able to stay on task in new places with new people, smells, and animals.(要训练一只服务犬,你应该从基本技能开始,比如专注于你、忽略干扰因素以及能够在有陌生的人、气味和动物的新地方完成任务。)”可知,服务犬能够在有陌生的人、气味和动物的新地方完成任务,即要应对不同的情况和区域。故选D项。
8.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,第一段作者结合自身饲养服务犬的经历引出话题;第二段讲述了服务犬的任务;第三、四段讲述了服务犬的训练;最后一段讲述了服务犬的养护。全文围绕“服务犬”展开,所以C项“饲养一只服务犬”最适合作本文标题。故选C项。

拓展突破练
1. (2023年全国甲卷.阅读理解B篇) From the age of six, Terri, now 26, accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays. A day’s work _____________(reward) with 5 in pocket money.
【答案】was rewarded
【详解】考查被动态。句意:现年26岁的Terri,在6岁时,在学校期间跟随德里克去工地。一天的工作会得到5英镑的零花钱作为奖励。根据句意判断,时间发生在6岁,即过去时。所以此处用一般过去时。又因为a day’s work与reward”奖励”是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动态。所以填was rewarded。
2. (2023年全国甲卷.阅读理解D篇)As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they _____________(not see) in a century or more, they’re increasingly being sighted by humans.

According to cognitive scientist Ben Goertzel, the world is experiencing a historic moment in artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Goertzel acknowledges that there is plenty of hype (炒作) surrounding the technology but believes that the new large language models that power generative AI have the potential to change the world.
Goertzel believes that generative AI models — like the one that powers ChatGPT-have the potential to replace many tasks currently performed by human workers. Fast-food workers and news copy editors, for example, are impacted by AI.
“Tools like Grammarly decrease the need for human editors,” Goertzel said. “They don’t entirely eliminate the job but they decrease that need. Automatic tools can be used for writing journalistic articles. They’ve been writing. . . sports score summaries and weather reports for a long time.”
Despite this, he identifies two main areas AI will not replace: jobs that rely on human interaction and require groundbreaking creativity.
“So one class of things that won’t be eliminated are jobs where the essence is human contact,” like preschool teachers, political strategists, and artists.
Generative AI chatbots are so powerful that it’s difficult to avoid wondering whether the system is conscious.
Goertzel says it doesn’t matter.
“I don’t think we need to resolve the open questions in the philosophy of consciousness to build human-level or even superhuman thinking machines,” he said. “But I think we can make these questions feel irrelevant.”
Goertzel’s insights open a door to understanding the future of AI, and his optimism about the potential of AI to revolutionize the world serves as a powerful reminder of the impact AI may have on society. Whether viewed with excitement or caution, the advancements in AI will surely cause deep thought and discussion for years to come.

I have spent the last few months with Yang, my new dog, one I am co-raising to be a service dog. He will stay with me for 14 months or so. If he proves to be good enough, he will be sent to the guide dog school for further training and eventually become a seeing-eye dog.
Dogs help people in lots of ways, but service dogs are different from working dogs, therapy (治疗) dogs, and emotional support animals. Service dogs are trained to do specific tasks for people with disabilities. They can pull wheelchairs, get medicine, remind you to take your medicine, help keep you stable while walking, and alert (警示) you to important sounds or dangerous things in your way. Service dogs have lots of different skills, depending on the disability they are trained for.
No matter how you get a service dog, they usually go through a tough training program with an experienced trainer. In the last month of training, the service dog spends time with you and the instructor. The instructor teaches the dog to help you, and tells you how to command, handle, and care for the dog.
Service dogs need obeying skills and other very special skills. When you think about how to get a service dog, consider finding one with relevant characters. They should be calm, be able to learn and hold onto information. To train a service dog, you should start with basic skills like focusing on you, ignoring disturbing factors and being able to stay on task in new places with new people, smells, and animals.
It’s important to keep your dog healthy so that they can best help you. Give your dog access to plenty of fresh water and a balanced diet, and keep their vaccinations (疫苗) updated. Yearly visits to the vet are also important to make sure you catch any changes in your dog’s health.
