Have you ever shouted at your computer because it wasn't working Of course,your computer can't“shout” back. But AI researchers have been working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates(辩论) with humans.
IBM scientists recently published a paper in Nature about their new AI system—Project Debater.It can debate with people in front of a live audience(观众）.After listening to arguments from its opponent(对手)，the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. And then it looks for ideas that can support its own argument.
Testing on the system began in 2019. when it debated with Harish Natarajan. a professional debater who holds the world record for the most debate competition victories.The topic was about subsidizing preschool(资助幼儿园)—and Project Debater argued to support this idea. Although Project Debater lost the debate in the end.the audience said it performed very well. Interestingly,58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic—only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan.
According to Scientific American, results show that the system is able to form logical statements(有逻辑的陈述).However,winning a debate is never the researchers' goal. Their goal is to help humans make better decisions according to Ranit Aharanoy manager of the Project Debater team.“It can debate both sides, so it can very quickly help you understand both sides of the problem,thus you can have a wider view of the problem and make a more thoughtful(深思熟虑的)decision."Aharanoy said.

It's late fall in the Arctic Ocean. Ice begins to form on top of the water, making it difficult for the white whales to find open areas to come up for air."They have to come up to breathe," says Donna Hauser,a marine biologist(海洋生物学家)at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks.“That's a more difficult job,and they have to find openings in the ice.”
The white whales know it's time to leave for warmer waters. So the group of about a hundred white whales heads south toward the Bering Sea, a body of water separating the United States and Russia.
Halfway through their journey. the white whales find themselves swimming between two large ice floes(浮冰).Suddenly, they hear a large splash(溅泼声).A white whale's main enemy—an orca(虎鲸)—has appeared and is swimming toward the white whales. Luckily,orcas aren't as good at swimming through ice floes as white whales are, giving the white whales time to speed up and swim away.
The white whales are safe, for now."But before getting to their destination,they must pass through the Bering Strait connecting the Arctic Ocean with the Bering
Sea—before the narrow(狭窄的)waterway freezes over,”Hauser says.“Otherwise,their path south could be blocked（阻挡）.”
The white whales finally make it to the Bering Strait, which hasn't yet frozen over. After a few more days of swimming, they arrive at the Bering Sea. The white whales will rest, hunt, and play here until April,when they'll swim back north. There,the females will give birth to baby white whales in the spring. When ice spreads across the Arctic Ocean again, those babies will follow their families south and begin their first long journey.
1.Why do the white whales leave the Arctic Ocean
A. They need to go south to hunt.
B. They have to get enough air.
C. They want to breathe fresher air.
D. They can't stand the cold weather.
2.What help the white whales escape from the orca
A. Brave fights.
B. Swimming skills.
C.Large ice floes.
D. Their smaller bodies.
3.What does“their destination”in the fourth paragraph refer to
A. The Bering Strait.
B. The Bering Sea.
C.The Arctic Ocean.
D.The United States.
4.When will the white whales leave the Bering Sea
A. In January.
B. In February.
C. In March.
D. In April.
5.What's the best title for the text
A. White Whales Are on the Move
B. Whales Are in Great Danger
C. How Can White Whales Live in Winter
D. When and Where Do White Whales Give Birth 中考时文阅读练习01

译文
你是否曾经因你的电脑不工作而对它大喊大叫？当然，你的电脑不能反过来对你“大喊大叫”。但是，人工智能研究人员一直在研发一种能够与人类进行辩论，甚至能赢过人类的计算机。
国际商业机器公司（IBM）的科学家们最近在《自然》杂志上发表了一篇关于他们的新人工智能系统——“辩论家计划（Project Debater)”的论文。该系统可以在现场观众面前与人进行辩论。在听完对手的论据后，该系统可以在不到5分钟的时间内搜索大约4亿篇在线文章，然后找出能够支持自己论据的观点。
对该系统的测试开始于2019年。当时，它与专业辩论手Harish Natarajan进行了辩论。Harish Natarajan保持着辩论赛胜利次数最多的世界纪录。辩题是关于资助幼儿园的——“辩论家计划”为支持该观点而辩论。虽然“辩论家计划”在最后输了，但观众说它的表现得非常好。有趣的是，58%的观众表示，“辩论家计划”增加了他们对这个话题的了解——只有20%的人这样评价Natarajan的表现。
据《科学美国人》报道，结果显示，该系统能够形成有逻辑的陈述。然而，在辩论中获胜绝不是研究人员的目标。“辩论家计划”团队的经理Ranit Aharanoy表示，他们的目标是帮助人类更好地作出决定。Aharanoy 说：“它可以从两方面进行辩论，因而它可以非常迅速地帮助你理解问题的两面。这样你就可以在更广的视野下看待问题，从而作出一个更深思熟虑的决定。”
语篇解读
IBM的科学家最近官宣了他们新的人工智能系统——Project Debater，它可以在现场与人辩论。Project Debater可以非常迅速地帮助人们理解问题的两面，以作出更好的决定。
答案详析
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After listening to arguments from its opponent, the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. And then it looks for ideas that can support its own argument.”可知，Project Debater的工作流程是先听对手的观点，然后查询线上文章，找到自己的论据后再与对手辩论。
2.A细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The topic was about subsidizing preschool—and Project Debater argued to support this idea.”可知，Project Debater支持资助幼儿园。
3.C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic”可知，一半以上的观众觉得Project Debater增加了他们的知识。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Their goal is to help humans make better decisions”和“thus you can have a wider view of the problem and make a more thoughtful decision"可知，有了Project Debater的帮助，人们可以在更广的角度上了解问题，从而作出更深思熟虑的决定。
长难句分析
原句：（第三段第一句）Testing on the system began in 2019, when it debated with Harish Natarajan,a professional debater who holds the world record for the most debate competition victories.
译文：对该系统的测试始于2019年,当时该系统与 Harish Natarajan 进行了辩论。HarishNatarajan是一名职业辩手，他保持着辩论比赛获胜次数最多的世界纪录。
分析：这是一个复合句。when it debated with Harish Natarajan为when引导的非限制性定语从句，对2019 进行补充说明：a professional debater who holds the world record...competition victories为Harish Natarajan的同位语，对Harish Natarajan进行补充说明，在该同位语中，who引导定语从句.修饰先行词a professional debater。

路德维希·凡·贝多芬出生于250多年前，是世界上最受喜爱的音乐家之一。贝多芬凭借他的九部交响曲闻名世界。去世前，他开始创作《第十交响曲》，但他未能将它完成。今年，人工智能专家和音乐家们利用人工智能来完成了这部交响曲。
为了纪念贝多芬诞辰250周年，德国电信在2019年春天组织了一个由音乐家、人工智能专家和历史学家组成的特别小组。他们的目标是尝试在人工智能的帮助下完成贝多芬的《第十交响曲》。
该团队开发了可以“理解”贝多芬音乐风格的“贝多芬AI”。他们向人工智能系统提供了贝多芬的所有音乐作品。对贝多芬有影响的音乐家的作品也被提供给人工智能系统。该团队的一些成员研究了贝多芬留下的笔记，以弄清贝多芬计划做些什么。该团队花了两年多的时间完成了贝多芬的《第十交响曲》。2021 年10月9日，贝多芬管弦乐团在德国波恩首次演奏了该作品。这场演出进行了免费的现场直播。唱片 Beethoven X—The Al Project也于同日发行。
这支曲子引发了公众的热烈讨论。一些人对它给予了高度评价。Tim Hottges说：“我认为，这部交响乐是真正的惊人之作，因为人和机器创作了新的成果。”然而，也有人怀疑这支曲子是否可以被称为艺术。
语篇解读
著名音乐家贝多芬逝世时留下了未完成的《第十交响曲》的几张手稿。为了纪念贝多芬诞辰250周年，人工智能专家和音乐家联手用人工智能完成了《第十交响曲》。
答案详析
1.E木根据上一句可知，贝多芬以他的九部交响曲而闻名。根据下一句“AI experts and musicians have used AI to finish it this year."可知，今年人工智能专家和音乐家使用人工智能完成了它。故空处内容应该和贝多芬创作《第十交响曲》但是没有完成它有关。E项“去世之前，他开始创作《第十交响曲》但并未完成它”承上启下，符合语境。
2.G 根据上一句可知，为纪念贝多芬诞辰250周年，Deutsche Telekom在2019年春季组织了一支由音乐家、人工智能专家以及历史学家组成的团队。下文提到这支团队研发出了能够“理解”贝多芬音乐风格的人工智能技术。故空处应该与这支团队的目标有关。G项“他们的目标是尝试在人工智能的帮助下完成贝多芬的《第十交响曲》”承上启下，符合语境。
3.C根据上一句可知，这支团队研发出了能够“理解”贝多芬音乐风格的人工智能技术。再结合下一句可知，对贝多芬有影响的音乐家的作品也被提供给了人工智能系统。C项“他们给人工智能系统提供了贝多芬的所有音乐”承上启下，符合语境。
4.D 根据下一句可知，2021年10月9日，贝多芬管弦乐团在德国波恩首次演奏了这支乐曲。故空处内容应与《第十交响曲》的完成有关。D项“这支团队花费两年多的时间完成了《第十交响曲》”引出下文，符合语境。
5.A根据空后内容可知，人们对这支曲子持有不同的态度，有人赞扬，也有人质疑。故空处内容应与人们对这支曲子的态度有关。A项“这支曲子引发了公众的热烈讨论”引出下文，符合语境。

译文
现在正值北冰洋深秋时节。水面上开始结冰，导致白鲸很难找到能露出水面呼吸的地方。阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校的海洋生物学家Donna Hauser表示：“白鲸必须浮出水面来呼吸。现在这件事难度变大了，它们不得不去寻找没结冰的地方。”
白鲸们知道，是时候离开去更温暖的水域了。于是，这个大约有100头白鲸的鲸群开始向南迁徙，游向白令海——那片分隔了美国和俄罗斯的水域。
行程过半，白鲸们正在两块大浮冰之间游动。突然，它们听到一阵巨大的溅泼声。白鲸的劲敌——虎鲸出现了，正向白鲸游去。幸运的是，虎鲸并不像白鲸那样擅长在浮冰之间游动，这给了白鲸们迅速游走的时间。
白鲸们暂时安全了。“但是在到达目的地之前，它们必须通过连接北冰洋和白令海的白令海峡，而且要在这条狭窄的水道结冰之前。否则，它们南下的路可能会被阻断。”Hauser说道。
白鲸们终于成功游到了还未结冰的白令海峡。几天后，它们到达了白令海。白鲸们将在这里休息、捕食和玩耍，直到来年四月份，到时候它们会再游回北边。在那里，雌性白鲸将在春天产下小白鲸。当冰层再次覆盖北冰洋的海面时，这些小白鲸又会跟着它们的家人南下，开始它们的第一次长途旅行。
语篇解读
晚秋时节，北冰洋的海面开始结冰，一群白鲸需要南迁寻找温暖的海域。这是一段遥远的旅程，而且途中困难重重。等到来年四月，它们又要返回北冰洋。
答案详析
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Ice begins to form on top of the water,making it difficult for the white whales to find open areas to come up for air.”可知，白鲸南迁是因为北冰洋的海面结冰了,它们很难找到能露出水面来呼吸的地方，所以它们离开北冰洋是为了得到充足的空气。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“ Luckily,orcas aren't as good at swimming...giving the white whales time to speed up and swim away.”可知，虎鲸不像白鲸那样擅长在浮冰间穿梭，这给了白鲸加速游开的时间。所以白鲸能逃脱得益于它们的游泳技能。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“So the group of about a hundred white whales heads south toward the Bering Sea"以及最后一段中的“After a few more days of swimming,they arrive at the Bering Sea.”可推知.“their destination”指的是它们的最终目的地——白令海。
4.D 细节理解题 根据最后一段第三句“The white whales will rest, hunt, and play here until April, when they'll swim back north.”可知,它们离开白令海返回北方的时间是在4月份。
5.A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一群白鲸由于北冰洋海面结冰而迁往白令海的过程，故A项最适合作本文标题。
长难句分析
原句：（倒数第二段第二句)But before getting to their destination, they must pass through the Bering Strait connecting the Arctic Ocean with the Bering Sea—before the narrow waterway freezes over...
译文：但在到达目的地之前，它们必须通过连接北冰洋和白令海的白令海峡，而且要在这条狭窄的水道结冰之前通过……
分析：这是一个复合句。本句中第一个before为介词，后接动名词短语作宾语；第二个before为连词，引导时间状语从句。现在分词短语connecting the Arctic Ocean with the Bering Sea为后置定语，修饰the Bering Strait。
