21. Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil（邪恶） minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence（AI） may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics 控制论）, put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere（干预）, we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced（中子诱导） nuclear chain reaction.
58. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may______ .
A. run out of human control
B. satisfy human’s real desires
C. command armies of killer robots
D. work faster than a mathematician
59. Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to_____ .
A. prevent themselves from being destroyed
B achieve their original goals independently
C. do anything successfully with given orders
D. beat humans in international chess matches
60. According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to________ .
A. help super intelligent machines work better
B. be secure against evil human beings
C. keep machines from being harmed
D. avoid robots’ affecting the world
61. What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?
A. It will disappear with the development of AI.
B. It will get worse with human interference.
C. It will be solved but with difficulty.
D. It will stay for a decade.
参考答案：

22. There is always something that happens in the world that everyone fears will happen to their town, city or country: natural disasters. The scariest part of it is that no one will ever see it coming. Though technology helps us prepare, but it never actually tells the people when it's going to hit. It is always estimated but the result is never 100% accurate.
However, that is not the point of this article. Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks. One was a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States. The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice, Italy. However, there is a major difference in the news coverage of the two tragedies.
As for the flooding in Louisiana, it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since Super-storm Sandy and it'll cost at least 30 million. In only the first couple of weeks, 13 people had died. However, like me, many people did not hear about this tragic event. I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.
In Italy, however, it covered all media instantly. The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning. That same day, I was on Twitter and that was all that was over the news feed. Every other post was about the earthquake. Some would have the opinion that Amatrice, Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country. I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding. So far, they have a total of 73 dead and over one hundred missing.
I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally seriously. We are one world united and should be there for all of the people who are in need of help. We may not be able to accurately predict disasters but, we can surely lend a hand out for the needy.
9. What really concerns the author about the two natural disasters?
A. The death and the injured.    B. The media report.
C. The government's responsibility.    D. Their economic loss.
10. Why did the author learn about the flood so late?
A. He didn’t care about the flood.
B. He felt nervous about the news.
C. The media didn’t cover it in time.
D. The flood frightened the author a lot.
11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Italy isn't good at predicting the natural disasters.
B. All natural disasters should be covered equally.
C. The world should be united into one instantly....
D. America should help Italy predict natural disasters.
12. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By making a comparison.    B. By following the time order.
C. By listing some examples.    D. By analyzing the causes.
参考答案：
9. B    10. C    11. B    12. A
本文主要讲了两个不同的地方发生的不同的自然灾害，但是对其报道的消息却是不同的。美国的路易斯安娜州发生了洪水，也有很多受害者，但是人们知道几周后才知道这件事，而意大利发生的地震，当时就被报道出来了。作者认为自然灾害无大小，应该让人们及时知晓，这样人们可以向受害者伸出援助之手。
9. B 推理判断题。根据文中there is a major difference in the news coverage of the two tragedies.可知，对于这两个自然灾害，作者关注的是媒体的报道。故选B。
10. C 细节理解题。根据文中I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened.可知，作者很晚才知道洪水的事情是因为媒体报道的晚。故选C。
11. B 推理判断题。根据文中最后一段I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana. However, I believe that if a natural disaster happens, they all should be equally covered and taken equally seriously.可知，所有的自然灾害都需要平等的报道。故选B。
12. A 推理判断题。本文通过讲述了两个地方发生的不同的自然灾害来比对说明对自然灾害的报道有所偏差。故选A。
【名师点睛】
推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类：（1）细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等；（2）逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因；（3）目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者情感态度；（4）预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。例如，本题的第4题属于推理判断的（1）根据不同文体，推断目的意图。答案需要从文章进行推断。

【推理关系】题干How is the text mainly developed??文章内容第三段的第一句及第四段的第一句
【答案】compare?A选项A. By making a comparison.
