15、sed Artificial lntelligence. This online course is a core requirement of Georgia Techs online Master of Science in Computer Science program. Professor Goel already had 8 teaching assistants, but that wasnt enough to deal with the overwhelming number of questions from students. Many students drop out

16、 of online courses because of the lack of teaching support. When students feel isolated or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to fade. Professor Goel decided to do something to remedy this situation and his solution was to create a virtual a

17、ssistant named Hill Watson, which is based on the IBM Watson platform. Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasnt too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all 40 000

18、questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched. Then they began to feed Jill the questions and answers. After some adjustment and sufficient time, Jill was able to answer the students' questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic th

19、at the students didnt know she was a computer. The students who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with artificial intelligence and couldn't tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didnt inform them about Jills true identity until April 26. The students were actually ver

20、y positive about the experience. The goal of Professor Goels virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all questions posed by students on the online forum. The name, Jill Watson, will of course, change to something else next semester. Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on th

21、e future of AI than say, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Bill Gatesor Steve Wozniak. 31. What do we learn about Knowledge-based Artificial Intelligence? A)It is a robot that can answer students questions. B)It is a course designed for students to learn online. C)It is a high-tech device that revolutioni

B)His course was too difficult for the students. C)Students' questions were too many to handle. D)Too many students dropped out

23、 of his course. 33. What do we learn about ill Watson? A)She turned out to be a great success. B)She got along pretty well with students. C)She was unwelcome to students at first. D)She was released online as an experiment. 34. How did the students feel about Jill Watson? A) They thought she was a b

24、it too artificial. B)They found her not as capable as expected. C) They could not but admire her knowledge.D)They could not tell her from a real person.35. What does Professor Goel plan to do next with Jill Watson？A)Launch different versions of her online.B)Feed her with new questions and answers.C)

25、Assign her to answer more of students questions.D)Encourage students to interact with her more freely.Passage TwoThinking small, being engaging, and having a sense of humor dont hurt. Those are a few of the traits of successful science crowd funding efforts that emerge from a recent study that exami

26、ned nearly 400 campaigns. But having a large network and some promotional skills may be more crucial. Crowd funding, raising money for a project through online appeals, has taken off in recent years for everything from making movies to building water-saving gadgets. Scientists have tried to tap Inte

27、rnet donors, too, with mixed success. Some raised more than twice their goal, but others have fallen short of reaching more modest targets.To determine what separates science crowd funding triumphs from failures, a team led by science communications scholar Mike Schafer of the University of Zurichin

28、 Switzerland examined the content of the Webpages for 371 recent campaigns.Four traits stood out for those that achieved their goals, the researchers report in Public Understanding of Science. For one, they use a crowd funding platform that specializes in raising money for science, and not just any

29、kind of project. Although sites like Kickstarter take all comers, platforms such as Experiment com, Medstartr. com, and Petridish. org only present scientific projects. For another, they present the project with a funny video because good visuals and a sense of humor improved success. Most of them e

30、ngage with potential donors since projects that answered questions from interested donors and posted lab notes fared better. And they target a small amount of money. The projects included in the study raised $4000 on average, with 30% of projects receiving less than $1000. The more money a project s

31、ought, the lower the chance it reached its goal, the researchers found.Other factors may also significantly influence a projects success, most notably, the size of a scientists personal and professional networks, and how much a researcher promotes a project on his or her own. Those two factors are b

32、y far more critical than the content on the page. Crowdfunding can be part of researchers' efforts to reach the public, and people give because "they feel a connection to the person” who is doing the fundraising-not necessarily to the science.36. What do we learn about the scientists trying

33、 to raise money online for their projects?A)They did not raise much due to modest targets.B)They made use of mixed fundraising strategies.C)Not all of them achieved their anticipated goals.D)Most of them put movies online for the purpose.37. What is the purpose of Mike Schaifers research of recent c

34、rowdfunding campaigns?A)To create attractive content for science websites.B)To identify reasons for their different outcomes.C)To help scientists to launch innovative projects.D)To separate science projects from general ones.38. What trait contributes to the success of a crowdfunding campaign?A)The

35、potential benefit to future generations.B)Its interaction with prospective donors.C)Its originality in addressing financial issues.D)The value of the proposed project.39. What did the researchers think of the financial targets of crowdfunding projects?A) They should be small to be successful.B)They

36、should be based on actual needs.C)They should be assessed with great care.D)They should be ambitious to gain notice.40. What motivates people to donate in a crowdfunding campaignA) The ease of access to the content of the webpage.B)Their desire to contribute to the cause of science.C)The significanc

37、e and influence of the project itself.D)Their feeling of connection to the scientists themselves.3、 翻譯題（從選項(xiàng)中選出一個(gè)與所給題干最匹配的選項(xiàng)；本題共10小題，每小題3.5分，共35分。）41.Our outstanding personnel have driven our success and established us as a world class leader in the computer industry.A.我們的專業(yè)技術(shù)人員成功地開(kāi)發(fā)了一款新的軟件，為我們行業(yè)的發(fā)展作
