(2024·新高考Ⅱ卷·阅读理解D篇)Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革)．
In the wrong hands , such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence.From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI — the technology companies and world leaders — so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out.Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
[真题评价]
[价值导向]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Catriona Campbell所著AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书。该书阐述了 AI的发展现状与前景，强调人类控制 AI的重要性，呼吁各界协同确保人工智能安全发展，以防潜在危机。文章旨在激发学生的批判性思维，培养其科学探究精神，体现高考语篇对科技发展的高度关注。
1．What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．If read by someone poorly educated.
B．If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.
C．If written by someone less competent.
D．If translated by someone unacademic.
√
解析：词义猜测题。第二段主要介绍了这本书的作者的信息。由画线短语后文中的but可知，所在句子前后语义转折。but后是现在时态，描述一种事实，指出这本书的作者Campbell拥有二十多年的专业经验，能将枯燥难懂的内容变得很通俗易懂。but前提到，这本书可能会像计算机代码一样复杂难懂，其中could表示一种假设或可能情况。由此可推知，but前应该是假设一个不如Campbell专业的作者写出这本书的情况。
2．What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text
A．It is packed with complex codes.
B．It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.
C．It provides step-by-step instructions.
D．It is intended for AI professionals.
√
解析：细节理解题。第二段最后一句提到，这本书的作者从商业人士(而非学者)的实用角度出发，使得这本书极易理解、内容丰富。这意味着该书不会涉及过于复杂或技术性的语言，而是旨在为广泛读者提供易于理解的内容。B项中的down-to-earth呼应文中的practical和highly accessible。
3．What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development
A．Observe existing regulations on it.
B．Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C．Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D．Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
√
解析：推理判断题。第三段最后一句提到，Campbell建议必须保持对人工智能的控制。第四段指出，Campbell期望科技公司和世界领导人与当前正在开发它的所有专家保持一致，并表示人类处在历史的“转折点”，必须立即采取行动，以防止面临灭顶之灾。这表明，她呼吁人们共同努力来控制人工智能的发展，以避免潜在的灾难。C项中的keep it under control呼应文中的keep control of artificial intelligence。
4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A．To recommend a book on AI.
B．To give a brief account of AI history.
C．To clarify the definition of AI.
D．To honor an outstanding AI expert.
√
解析：写作目的题。通读全文可知，第一段介绍了新书；第二段介绍了本书作者的写作风格；第三、四段概述了书中的主要论点和观点及其意义；第五段进行总结，再次强烈推荐这本书。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了推荐一本有关AI的书。

课时作业(一)　
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·河北模拟)There're plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets.
Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one-third of food is wasted due to spoilage 变质) every year.
The startup's founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food. “I looked at the challenges in the food-supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.” founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said.
Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually (手动地). An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.
Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis.This means that a shipment of ripe tomatoes will not be sent long distances away.
OneThird's scanner combines the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf-life predictions.
The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage. “Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security，” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.

(2025·枣庄模拟)Even if you haven't held a conversation with Siri or Alexa, you've likely encountered a chatbot online. They often appear in a chat window that pops up with a friendly greeting: Thank you for visiting our site.How can I help you today Depending on the site, the chatbot is programmed to respond accordingly and even ask follow-up questions.
Chatbots are a form of conversational AI designed to simplify human interaction with computers. They are programmed to simulate human conversation and exhibit intelligent behavior that is equivalent to that of a human.
Chatbots communicate through speech or text. Both rely on artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), which is a branch of artificial intelligence that teaches machines to read, analyze and interpret human language. This technology gives chatbots a baseline for understanding language structure and meaning. NLP, in essence, allows the computer to understand what you are asking and how to appropriately respond.
With developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning, chatbots can interpret more complexities in language and improve the dynamic nature of conversation between human and machine. Essentially, a chatbot tries to match what you've asked to an intent that it understands. The more a chatbot communicates with you, the more it understands and the more it learns to communicate like you and others with similar questions. Your positive responses reinforce its answers, and then it uses those answers again.
From customer service chatbots online to personal assistants in our homes, chatbots have started to enter our lives. In almost every industry, companies are using chatbots to help customers easily navigate their websites, answer simple questions and direct people to the relevant points of contact. Personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are designed to respond to a wide range of scenarios and queries, from current weather and news updates to personal calendars, music selections and random questions.

(2025·大连双基测试)Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously. 9 But then just as I was close to giving up again, I discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video game.
精品课件·名师析题
Zwift is essentially a cycling game that you control by riding your real bike, which is equipped with a device called a turbo trainer. This makes it like an exercise bike. As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on the screen. 10 For example, as you're cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel the different levels of resistance on the bike.
After signing up for a ￡12/month subscription, you can participate in virtual cycle rides in 3D recreations of real places, like London or fantastical fictional locations invented by the game designers. 11 As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey. Though it is obviously only a game, just seeing the character move is surprisingly motivating.
12 Go a little faster and you'll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.
I'm not the only person who has noticed this. 13 Today there are many other companies chasing the same audience, and they all offer their own unique twists on the formula.
A．Zwift makes it easy to work out.
B．And importantly, you're not alone.
C．The rest of the tech industry has, too.
D．I played Zwift, a cycling game for training.
E．And then the game sends instructions back to the trainer.
F．Smartly, the tricks of video games will keep pushing you.
G．This would mean hours' stretching and sweating each week.

(2025·南京模拟)China plans to start building a lunar base in about four years, 1 (kick) off with bricks made of moon soil, according to scientists related to the project, the local news agency reported. Ding Lieyun, 2 leading scientist at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, told local media that the first brick 3 (make) from moon soil during the Chang'e 8 mission around 2028.
China has previously said its lunar base will likely be powered by nuclear energy, and will include a lander, hopper, orbiter and rover, all of 4 would be constructed by the Chang'e 6, 7 and 8 missions. It wasn't immediately clear in the interview 5 the entire base will be built with lunar soil.
“Eventually, building habitation 6 the Earth is essential not only for all humanity's quest for space exploration, but also for China's 7 (strategy) needs as a space power，” Ding said in a separate interview.
The moon is believed 8 (contain) a source of waste-free nuclear energy that could meet global energy demands for 250 years, meaning potentially hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of resources.
Yu Dengyun, from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, provided an 9 (update) timeline for the next three Chang'e missions. Chang'e 6 will launch in 2025 to collect samples from the far side of the moon, Chang'e 7 will blastoff the following year to search for water-ice, 10 Chang'e 8 should land some two years after that.
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国计划在大约四年的时间内开始在月球上建造一个月球基地，该计划将以月球上的土壤制成的砖块作为开端。
1．kicking　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，kick off在句子中为非谓语动词，它和“China plans to start building a lunar base in about four years”之间为主动关系，因此使用现在分词作状语，故填kicking。
2．a　考查冠词。 scientist 为可数名词，且leading是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此使用不定冠词a。
3．would be made　考查时态和语态。make是谓语动词，它和“the first brick”之间为被动关系，并且make的动作发生在told 之后，则用其过去将来时的被动语态“would be done”。
4．which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，“a lander, hopper, orbiter and rover”是先行词，它在从句中作宾语，指物，因此使用which引导定语从句。
5．if/whether　考查从属连词。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导主语从句，表示“是否”，故使用连词if或whether。
6．beyond/outside　考查介词。根据句意可知，此处应该填入介词，表示“在……之外”，应使用beyond或outside。
7．strategic　考查形容词。此处需填入形容词作定语修饰needs，表示“战略的”，故填strategic。
8．to contain　考查非谓语动词。be believed to do sth.表示“被认为做某事”，故填to contain。
9．updated　考查非谓语动词。update和timeline之间为被动关系，因此使用过去分词作定语，表示“最新的”，故填updated。
10．and　考查并列连词。根据上文“provided an (update) timeline for the next three Chang'e missions”可知，“Chang'e 6”和“Chang'e 7”以及“Chang'e 8”是并列关系，故使用并列连词and来连接。

数智赋能 随堂训练—用单元所学知识补全语段
(2024·新高考Ⅱ卷·阅读理解D篇)Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革)．
In_the_wrong_hands,_such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow AI” to Artificial General Intelligence.From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI — the technology companies and world leaders — so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out.Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.,

(2025·河北模拟)There’re plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available in local markets. But while those red juicy strawberries look fresh, consumers have no way of knowing how long the fruit can be stored at home. The same goes for distribution centers and supermarkets.
Now, the food technology startup OneThird, located in the Netherlands, is looking to change that with an infrared (红外线) scanner that can accurately predict how long fresh fruits and vegetables will last. The startup is named OneThird because one third of food is wasted due to spoilage (变质) every year.
The startup’s founders were inspired by a UK company that uses this type of technology in the medical field and decided to see if it was applicable for food. “I looked at the challenges in the food supply chain and found out that 40 percent of food waste is fresh produce. One of the biggest causes of waste is that nobody knows shelf life.” founder and CEO of OneThird, Marco Snikkers said.
Quality inspections at farms and distribution centers are done manually (手动地). An inspector checks the fruits and vegetables and makes notes about the size and quality. Then the food is sent to consumers without considering travel time or how long the produce will remain usable.
Using the infrared scanner at the distribution center means that inspectors can use the information to approve shipments that will ensure the produce can be distributed on a timely basis.This means that a shipment of ripe tomatoes will not be sent long distances away.
OneThird’s scanner combines the technology of optical scanners, image modeling, and Artificial Intelligence to provide accurate shelf life predictions.
The startup found that the technology can reduce up to 25 percent produce waste that was caused by spoilage. “Global food waste has an enormous environmental impact; reducing global food waste cuts global greenhouse gas emissions and promotes global food security,” said Jacob Smith, a climate expert from the University of Maine.
1.What problem does OneThird aim to solve
A.The high cost of storing fresh fruits and vegetables.
B.Inefficient quality inspections at distribution centers.
C.Food waste caused by uncertainty about its shelf life.
D.Consumers’ difficulty judging the freshness of produce.
2.What inspired OneThird to come up with the idea of using infrared scanner
A.The use of the device in another field.
B.Observation of the food supply chain.
C.Consumer demands for fresher produce.
D.Experts’ advice on food waste reduction.
3.What can we learn about the manual quality inspections
A.They are time consuming and costly.
B.They are not performed at a regular time.
C.The inspectors tend to make wrong judgement.
D.The shipping time is not taken into consideration.
4.What’s Jacob’s attitude to OneThird’s effort
A.Approving. B.Doubtful.
C.Tolerant. D.Dismissive.

(2025·枣庄模拟)Even if you haven’t held a conversation with Siri or Alexa, you’ve likely encountered a chatbot online. They often appear in a chat window that pops up with a friendly greeting: Thank you for visiting our site.How can I help you today Depending on the site, the chatbot is programmed to respond accordingly and even ask follow up questions.
Chatbots are a form of conversational AI designed to simplify human interaction with computers. They are programmed to simulate human conversation and exhibit intelligent behavior that is equivalent to that of a human.
Chatbots communicate through speech or text. Both rely on artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), which is a branch of artificial intelligence that teaches machines to read, analyze and interpret human language. This technology gives chatbots a baseline for understanding language structure and meaning. NLP, in essence, allows the computer to understand what you are asking and how to appropriately respond.
With developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning, chatbots can interpret more complexities in language and improve the dynamic nature of conversation between human and machine. Essentially, a chatbot tries to match what you’ve asked to an intent that it understands. The more a chatbot communicates with you, the more it understands and the more it learns to communicate like you and others with similar questions. Your positive responses reinforce its answers, and then it uses those answers again.
From customer service chatbots online to personal assistants in our homes, chatbots have started to enter our lives. In almost every industry, companies are using chatbots to help customers easily navigate their websites, answer simple questions and direct people to the relevant points of contact. Personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are designed to respond to a wide range of scenarios and queries, from current weather and news updates to personal calendars, music selections and random questions.
5.Why does the author mention Siri and Alexa in paragraph 1
A.To explain how a chatbot works.
B.To show where to find a chatbot.
C.To give examples of chatbots.
D.To compare different chatbots.
6.What is the basis of chatbots
A.Language study. B.Data transmission.
C.Social interaction. D.Natural language processing.
7.What does the underlined word “reinforce”in paragraph 4 mean
A.Inspire.　　　　　 B.Strengthen.
C.Organize. D.Match.
8.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.The future trend of chatbots.
B.The author’s predictions.
C.The effects of chatbots.
D.The applications of chatbots.

(2025·大连双基测试)Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously. 　9　 But then just as I was close to giving up again, I discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video game.
Zwift is essentially a cycling game that you control by riding your real bike, which is equipped with a device called a turbo trainer. This makes it like an exercise bike. As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on the screen. 　10　 For example, as you’re cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel the different levels of resistance on the bike.
After signing up for a ￡12/month subscription, you can participate in virtual cycle rides in 3D recreations of real places, like London or fantastical fictional locations invented by the game designers. 　11　 As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey. Though it is obviously only a game, just seeing the character move is surprisingly motivating.
　12　 Go a little faster and you’ll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.
I’m not the only person who has noticed this. 　13　 Today there are many other companies chasing the same audience, and they all offer their own unique twists on the formula.
A.Zwift makes it easy to work out.
B.And importantly, you’re not alone.
C.The rest of the tech industry has, too.
D.I played Zwift, a cycling game for training.
E.And then the game sends instructions back to the trainer.
F.Smartly, the tricks of video games will keep pushing you.
G.This would mean hours’ stretching and sweating each week.
