Question

【題目】

Sophia is a robot in Saudi Arabia. She made history at a meeting that was held in the country on Oct 25. On that day, she became the first robot in the world to get citizenship (公民身份), according to The New York Times.

In the future, Sophia may have the same rights as a human Saudi Arabian citizen.

Sophia looks like a human woman. In 2015, a US company built her and gave her an artificial intelligence system (人工智能系統(tǒng)). This means Sophia can talk and act like a human. She also has the ability to learn from people, books and the Internet.

“I will do my best to make the world a better place,” Sophia said at the meeting.

But not everyone is happy with Sophia’s citizenship. Some think robots like her could be dangerous. They could become enemies of humans if they go out of control.

For this, Sophia said she also had values like wisdom and kindness. “Don’t worry, if you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you,” she said.

【解析】

這篇短文是一則新聞報(bào)道，Sophia成為了世界上第一個(gè)獲得公民身份的機(jī)器人。這臺(tái)機(jī)器人是美國一個(gè)公司研制的，身上安裝有人工智能系統(tǒng)，可以像一個(gè)真人那樣做事。對(duì)于這件事也有人覺得不開心，他們覺得這樣的機(jī)器人可能是有危險(xiǎn)的。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中Sophia is a robot in Saudi Arabia. 以及第二段中Sophia looks like a human woman.可知，Sophia是一個(gè)機(jī)器人，她看起來就像一個(gè)真正的女人一樣。由此可知應(yīng)選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中She made history at a meeting that was held in the country on Oct 25. On that day, she became the first robot in the world to get citizenship可知，Sophia在10月25日的一次會(huì)議上創(chuàng)造了歷史，她成為了世界上第一個(gè)獲得公民身份的機(jī)器人。由此可知應(yīng)選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中This means Sophia can talk and act like a human. She also has the ability to learn from people, books and the Internet.可知，機(jī)器人Sophia安裝有人工智能系統(tǒng)，她可以像人一樣說話和行動(dòng)，她也有向人、書和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)學(xué)習(xí)的能力。由此可知D選項(xiàng)“控制世界”這個(gè)是機(jī)器人不能做的，故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第四段中But not everyone is happy with Sophia’s citizenship. Some think robots like her could be dangerous. They could become enemies of humans if they go out of control可知，有些人對(duì)Sophia成為公民是不開心的，他們覺得這樣的機(jī)器人是非常危險(xiǎn)的，如果失控他們可能成為人類的敵人。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段For this, Sophia said she also had values like wisdom and kindness. “Don’t worry, if you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you,” she said.可知，Sophia有智慧和善良的價(jià)值觀，如果人類對(duì)她好，她也會(huì)對(duì)人類好。由此可知應(yīng)選A。

這篇短文給我們講述的是世界上第一個(gè)獲得公民身份的機(jī)器人Sophia，對(duì)此不同的人也有不同的看法。文章篇幅較短，主題突出，文章內(nèi)容比較容易理解。后面的題目設(shè)置以細(xì)節(jié)理解題為主，考查我們對(duì)文章事實(shí)信息的理解，答案常可以直接在原文找到。做題時(shí)，根據(jù)題干所問，定位到文章相關(guān)地方，搜索有關(guān)信息作答。例如第2小題，我們可以用題干中的世界on Oct 25作為關(guān)鍵詞定位到原文就可以找到答案。再如第4小題，根據(jù)題干中的Some people are not happy about the robot’s citizenship可以確定到文章第四段中，根據(jù)Some think robots like her could be dangerous. They could become enemies of humans if they go out of control可知，有些人對(duì)Sophia成為公民是不開心的，他們覺得這樣的機(jī)器人是非常危險(xiǎn)的，如果失控他們可能成為人類的敵人。由此可知應(yīng)選B。
