Unit 3 Computers language points课时作业（本卷满分100分）一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）AWho is smarter? A human being or artificial intelligence(人工智能)?The question swept the world when a Google-developed program called AlphaGo defeated the world top player, South Korean Lee Se-del, 4-1.So, what comes next?Some people have been arguing that artificial intelligence, or AI in short, will be a bad thing for humans. In an interview with the BBC in 2014, UK scientist Stephen Hawking warned that “the development of full artificia l intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”So are we really about to live in the world shown in the Terminator movies?“Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it’s not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use their knowledge in everyday situations.“We think that, for the human being, things like sight and balance(视觉平衡), are natural and ordinary in our life.” Thomas Edison，founder of Motion Figures, a company that is bringing AI to boys, told the newspaper. “But for a robot, to walk up and down just like human beings requires various decisions to be made every second, and it’s really difficult to do.”As The Economist put it, “We have a long way to go before AI can truly begin t o be similar to the human brain, even though the technology can be great.”Meanwhile, John Markoff of The New York Times said that researchers should build artificial intelligence to make people more effective.“Our fate is in our own hands,” he wrote. “Si nce technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make human choices that use technology to improve the world.”1. What was the result of the match?A. Lee Se-del won AlphaGo 4-1.B. Lee Se-del was defeated.C. Google program beat AlphaGo.D. Neither side won the match.2. What does Thomas Edison possibly mean in his remarks?A. It’s very hard for AI to beat the human brain.B. AI would take the place of human beings.C. AI can make various decisions quickly.D. AI does better than humans in sight and balance.3. Who believes much has to be done to improve AI?A. Stephen Hawking.B. John Markoff.C. The New York Times.D. The Economist.4. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A. AI will improve the world completely.B. AI is in the control of human beings.C. AI may bring disasters to human beings.D. AI will make our future out of control.BAs life in cities worldwide becomes more expensive, urban designers are using modern technology to help citizens avoid traffic jams, and shorten the time needed for bus waiting and other things. Technology is also used to cut costly waste.In Santander, a Spanish port city, parking is easy to find. As one car drives away, an underground sensor shows that a parking space is now free. 400 sensors send messages to signs on streets, and GPS devices direct drivers to the nearest available parking spaces, reducing traffic jams. Trash is collected only when the bins are full and bus stop signs show exactly when the next bus is coming. The public parks are watered only the soil gets dry. All this is made possible by 20,000 sensors installed on buildings, street posts andeven buses. They are part of the “smart city” project, launched by the University of Cantabria seven years ago.University researchers like Luis Munoz regularly meet with locals to discuss how to make their city even smarter. “They propose when they have ideas and sometimes even develop by themselves. Here, we give them the opportunity to see these ideas happen in real life,” said Mu noz. For example, the university helped a woman create an app that outlines the easiest route for walking with a baby stroller. Another provides information to residents about their water consumption and sends an alarm to their phone if there is a leak.The Santander smart project is attracting the attention of larger cities in Europe and elsewhere that are looking for smart solutions to urban problems.5. What is the life like in Santander?A. It is meaningful.B. It is full of freedom.C. It is likely to change fast.D. It is effective and convenient.6. How can residents help Munoz’s job?A. By offering some original or fresh ideas.B. By showing him around the city.C. By installing sensors themselves.D. By using as little water as possible.7. What doe s the underlined word “Another” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. A university.B. A phone.C. An easy route.D. An app.8. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Worldwide ProblemB. A Smart City ProjectC. A Creative ResearcherD. A Trend in Urban Design二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）There have been a lot of comments recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology. 9. ? How might it change our lives?5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. Earlier “G” systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity (容量). 10. . It is expected to permit more users to do more things at a faster rate.However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different from the earlier systems. 11. . It will affect many more devices and industries than other “G” versions.5G will help fuel future “smart cities” by connecting sensor networks. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality(虚拟现实). Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.12. . The increased data flow across 5G networks would give Internet attackersa lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety. 13. , or a network breakdown could cause self-driving vehicles to crash.A. Why is 5G so popularB. What is this technologyC. Every coin has two sidesD. The new 5G system promises more of the sameE. It will move beyond mobile network technologyF. A breakdown of 5G networks may cause economic lossesG. A failure during a doctor’s remote operation could lead to death三、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）Crowdsourcing is an interesting new application of the saying “Many hands make light work”.
