有了阿尔法围棋这种能够思考并从自身错误中学习的机器，我们正在向人类与机器的界限越靠越近。

(2)with＋宾语＋doing(表示主动或进行)
(3)with＋宾语＋done(表示被动或完成)
(4)with＋宾语＋介词短语/副词(短语)/形容词(短语)

第Ⅱ卷　语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a terrible warning.Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation, they can inspire fear.In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses.Nevertheless, the latest advances in robotics will bring real and fundamental benefits.
New “multimodal” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data.This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words.You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”．Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit.You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction, something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming.
The new models enable robots to explain the reasoning behind their actions.That is useful when they behave in unexpected or unwelcome ways.So long as robots' brains are not confusing black boxes, programming and debugging (排错) them is fairly straightforward.The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match.
Labour markets across the rich world are tight — and getting tighter as societies age.Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly.Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later.In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner.

B．Their debugging ability.
C．Their reality-based perception.
D．Their detailed observation.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match.”可知，新模型感知事物的方式是基于对世界的观察，所以不太可能编造事实，会更可靠。
4．What does the author think of robots in an aging society
A．They benefit the elderly most.

7．A.advanced B．non-digital

Quick service restaurants with tools like Flippy are the kind of places 26 you keep coming back — you know the staff will always have time to give you 27 answer to your detailed question and you will have your order on time, perfectly cooked.
Automation in restaurants will become even more crucial in the future.Owners then 28 (need) workers to enforce updated safety regulations and interact with dissatisfied guests.With Flippy having

As AI enters different aspects of our life, it also has an impact on how we learn in our study.As far as I am concerned, we may take advantage of AI but shouldn't fully depend on it.
Too much dependence on AI weakens our learning capacity.For example, a student who turns to AI for help each time he is assigned to a composition tends to fail to complete a paper in his exam.
Therefore, AI should be considered as a tool for consultation if necessary.It can't and won't replace wisdom of human brain.UNIT 4　课时检测(二)　“Reading”的新知学习环节

第Ⅱ卷　语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了机器人技术并提出该项技术的进展将给社会带来益处。
1．选A　细节理解题。根据第一段的“In the real world, they are able to kill off wellpaid jobs in factories and warehouses.”可知，人们对机器人心存忧虑的原因是认为它们会使越来越多的高薪工作消失，导致失业率上升。
2．选D　细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知，多模态AI模型的优势在于它们使机器人能够理解口头命令。
3．选C　推理判断题。根据第三段的“The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match.”可知，新模型感知事物的方式是基于对世界的观察，所以不太可能编造事实，会更可靠。
4．选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly.Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later.”可知，作者认为在老龄化社会中，机器人有助于维持劳动生产力。
(二)完形填空
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者对自动化的看法和一次有意识地选择非自动化服务的经历。
5．选D　根据下文“24 hour ATMs and a cellphone with various services”和常识可知，作者对这些方便的服务是感激的。
6．选B　根据上文“I am ________ for 24 hour ATMs and a cellphone with various services”和下文“I also miss the talks with people that automation has replaced”可知，作者也怀念被自动化取代了的与人面对面的互动。上下文之间是转折关系，应填But。
7．选B　根据上文“I also miss the talks with people that automation has replaced”可知，作者怀念与人面对面的互动，因此作者打算用非数字化的方式去感受人与人之间的面对面互动。
8．选C　根据下文“warmly greeted me.After I got my money, we talked for a few minutes”可知，热烈欢迎作者的工作人员还记得她。
9．选D　根据上文“we talked”可知，作者和那位工作人员聊天，所以是分享了关于孩子的消息。
10．选A　根据下文“an employee, who longed to visit that country”可知，一个渴望去冰岛的员工得知作者要寄信去那里，变得很激动。
11．选D　根据上文“who longed to visit that country”可知，那位工作人员渴望去冰岛参观，作者就鼓励他去。
12．选B　根据后文“a cashier”和“carrot”等词汇可知，此时作者去的地方是超市。
13．选A　根据后文“that for only one penny more I could get an extra carrot”以及常识可知，在超市里的工作人员会给顾客购物方面的建议。
14．选C　根据上文“Thus, I recently decided to spend a day to achieve all of my goals”可知，这里指作者向朋友讲述自己(选择非自动化服务)的尝试。
15．选B　根据上文“She listened carefully”以及语境可知，朋友认真地听作者的体验过程，对她的做法发表意见、评论。
16．选C　根据上文“I could have done everything with my cellphone”可知，这里指用手机做这些事情所花的时间本该会更短，会少于1小时。
17．选A　根据上文“I could have done everything with my cellphone”可知，如果作者都用手机来做这些事情，那就会错过亲切的话语和友好的微笑，因为这些是手机体验不到的。
18．选A　根据上文“we talked for a few minutes”和“stirred up a(n)________ comment by an employee”以及“was welcomed by a cashier”可知，作者和他们之间都有友好的交谈，即此处选talking。
19．选D　根据上文“I felt better”和下文“someone took the time to warm our meeting”可知，此处上下文之间为因果关系，表示“因为”。
(三)语法填空
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了机器人与人类合作的优势，以及自动化在提高效率和利润方面的作用。
20．increasing　考查非谓语动词。空处作介词to的宾语，应用动名词形式，故填increasing。
21．smartest　考查形容词最高级。分析句子可知，空处应用形容词最高级与后文的“most creative”构成并列，在句中作定语。
22．dramatically　考查副词。空处应用副词修饰动词increase作状语，故填dramatically。
23．as　考查介词。take sth. as an example为固定短语，意为“以……为例”。

26．where　考查定语从句。分析句子可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，修饰先行词places，故用关系副词where。
27．an　考查冠词。句中answer为可数名词，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词，再因answer以元音音素开头，故填不定冠词an。
28．will need　考查动词时态。分析句子可知，空处在句中作谓语；根据前文的“will become”可知，句子表述将来的情况，故用一般将来时。
29．burned/burnt　考查形容词。空处修饰名词burgers，应用形容词作定语，故填burned/burnt。
(四)参考范文：
As AI enters different aspects of our life, it also has an impact on how we learn in our study.As far as I am concerned, we may take advantage of AI but shouldn't fully depend on it.
Too much dependence on AI weakens our learning capacity.For example, a student who turns to AI for help each time he is assigned to a composition tends to fail to complete a paper in his exam.
Therefore, AI should be considered as a tool for consultation if necessary.It can't and won't replace wisdom of human brain.
