(這些人擔(dān)心人工智能可能變得無(wú)法控制，威脅到人類的生存。)”可知，像霍金、馬斯克和蓋茨這樣的人對(duì)人工智能的發(fā)展感到擔(dān)憂的是，他們害怕AI可能會(huì)脫離人類控制并危及人類的生存。他們擔(dān)心AI變得不可控，對(duì)人類構(gòu)成威脅。故選B?！?4題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“Kurzweilsupportshisviewpointwithexistingtechnologies,likebrainimplantsusedtotreatParkinson’sdisease(帕金森?。?suggestingthattheintegrationprocessisalreadyinprogress.

(庫(kù)茲韋爾用現(xiàn)有的技術(shù)來(lái)支持他的觀點(diǎn)，比如用于治療帕金森病的大腦植入物，這表明整合過(guò)程已經(jīng)在進(jìn)行中。)”可知，庫(kù)茲韋爾提到用于治療帕金森病的腦植入物是為了表明人機(jī)融合的過(guò)程已經(jīng)開(kāi)始。他通過(guò)這一現(xiàn)有技術(shù)來(lái)支持自己的觀點(diǎn)，即人類與機(jī)器的融合正在進(jìn)行中。故選A?！?5題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中“Perhapshismostsignificantpredictionisthatthesingularity(奇點(diǎn))willbereachedby2045,markingthepointatwhichhumanintelligencefullyintegrateswithAIandsignificantlyimprovesourmentalcapabilities.(他或許最為重要的預(yù)測(cè)是，到2045年將會(huì)達(dá)到“奇點(diǎn)”，這標(biāo)志著人類智能將完全與人工智能融合，并顯著提升我們的心智能力。)”以及通讀全文，文章主要圍繞庫(kù)茲韋爾對(duì)未來(lái)人工智能發(fā)展的預(yù)測(cè)展開(kāi)，特別是他關(guān)于2045年達(dá)到“奇點(diǎn)”的預(yù)測(cè)，即人類智能與AI完全融合的時(shí)間點(diǎn)。因此，C選項(xiàng)“Kurzweil’sPrediction:Singularityby2045(庫(kù)茲韋爾預(yù)測(cè)：2045年將出現(xiàn)奇點(diǎn))”最能概括文章的主旨。故選C。第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2.5分，共12.5分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Nowadays,intheageofround-the-clockentertainment,it’shardertobebored.Iftheshowyou’rewatchinghaslostitsspark,youcanselectanalternativeinstantly.___36___Feelingboredwiththetaskinhanddoeshaveitsbenefits.___37___Feelingboredatwork,forexample,couldinspireyoutoexploreachangeofcareer.Orifyoudecidethere’snothingworthwatchingonTV,youmightchoosetoswitchoffandmakeyourownentertainmentbytakingupanewhobby.___38___Thisdrivetofindinterestingactivitiescanleadtoariseincreativity.What’sthepointofdaydreaming?WithoutsocialmediaorTV,wemayfallbackondaydreaming.Despitewhatparentsandteachersmayhavetoldyou,daydreamingisgoodforyou.Lettingyourthoughtswanderwithoutthedistractionsoftechnologycanbeausefulwayto“allowyourmindtorelax,relievestress,developingyourcreativityintheprocess,”writestheUniversityofCentralLancashire’sDrSandiMann.___39___Arewemoreeasilyborednowadays?Still,whydaydreamatthebusstopwhenyoucansimplyscrollthroughyourphone?Forstarters,spendingeverysparemomentstaringatascreencanhaveanegativeeffectonyourmentalwell-being,sleepqualityandeyesight.Butthat’snotall.___40___Eventually,westarttolosetheabilitytoentertainothersandfindwaystodosomethinglessboring.Whisperit:Weruntheriskofbecomingboringourselves.A.Doesboredommakeusmorecreative?B.Butthat’snotnecessarilyagoodthing.C.Whydon’tyoudosomethinglessboring?D.Anewshowislaunchedtokeepchildrenentertained.E.Beingboredinspiresyoutosearchoutsomethinglessboringtodo.F.Itmeansyoubecomelessabletothinkcreati
