Hllywd’s thery that machines with evil(邪惡的)minds will drive armies f killer rbts is just silly. The real prblem relates t the pssibility that artificial intelligence (AI) may becme extremely gd at achieving smething ther than what we really want. In 1960 a well-knwn mathematician Nrbert Wiener, wh funded the field f cybernetics(控制), put it this way: “If we use, t achieve ur purpses, a mechanical agency with whse peratin we cannt effectively interfere(干預(yù)), we had better be quite sure that the purpse put int the machine is the purpse which we really desire.”
A machine with a specific purpse has anther quality, ne that we usually assciate with living things: a wish t preserve its wn existence. Fr the machine, this quality is nt in-brn, nr is it smething intrduced by humans; it is a lgical cnsequence f the simple fact that the machine cannt achieve its riginal purpse if it is dead. S if we send ut a rbt with the single instructin f fetching cffee, it will have a strng desire t secure success by disabling its wn ff switch r even killing anyne wh might interfere with its task. If we are n careful, then, we culd face a kind f glbal chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whse bjectives cnflict with ur wn, with the real wrd as the chessbard.
The pssibility f entering int and lsing such match shuld cncentrate the minds f cmputer scientists. Sme researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind f firewall, using them t answer difficult questins but never allwing them t affect the real wrd. Unfrtunately, that plan seem unlikely t wrk: we have yet t invent a firewall that is secure against rdinary humans, let alne super intelligent machines.
Slving the safety prblem well enugh t mve frward in AI seems t be pssible but nt easy. There are prbably decades in which t plan fr the arrival f super intelligent machines. But the prblem shuld nt be dismissed ut f hand, as it has been by sme AI researchers. Sme argue that humans and machines can cexist as lng as they wrk in teams-yet that is nt pssible unless machines share the gals f humans. Others say we can just “switch them ff ” as if super intelligent machines are t stupid t think f that pssibility. Still thers think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11,1933, famus physicist Ernest Rutherfrd stated, with cnfidence, “Anyne wh expects a surce f pwer in the transfrmatin f these atms is talking mnshine.” Hwever, n September 12, 1933, physicist Le Szilard invented the neutrn-induced(中子誘導(dǎo))nuclear chain reactin.

Whether in the hme r the wrkplace, scial bts are ging t becme a lt mre cmmn in the next few years. Scial rbts are abut t bring technlgy t the everyday wrld in a mre humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the rbt cmpany Jib.
While husehld rbts tday d the nrmal husewrk, scial rbts will be much mre like cmpanins than mere tls. Fr example, these rbts will be able t distinguish when smene happy r sad. This allws them t respnd mre apprpriately t the user.
The Jib rbt, arranged t ship later this year designed t be a persnalized assistant. Yu can talk t the rbt, ask it questins, and make requests fr it perfrm different tasks. The rbt desn’t just deliver general answers t questins; it respnds based n what it learns abut each individual in the husehld. It ca d things such as reminding an elderly family member ke medicine r taking family phts.
Scial rbts are nt just finding their way int the hme. They have ptential applicatins in everything frm educatin t health care and are already finding their way int sme f these spaces.
Fellw Rbts is ne cmpany bringing s rbts t the market. The cmpany’s “Oshbt” rbt is built t assist custmers in a stre, which can help the custmers find items and help guide them t the prduct’s lcatin in the stre. It can als speak
Different languages and make recmmendatins fr different items based n what the custmer is shpping fr.
The mre interactin the rbt has with humans, the mre it learns. But Oshbt, like ther scial rbts, is nt intended t replace wrkers, but t wrk alngside ther emplyees. “We have technlgies t train scial rbts t d things nt fr us, but with us,” said Breazeal.

參考答案
A
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文為議論文。人工智能如果有了某種特定的目標(biāo),它便會(huì)不擇手段地去生存并去實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)。如果放任不管,人類也許會(huì)失去對(duì)人工智能的控制。解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題雖然是有可能的,但并非易事
1. A【解析】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段可知,人工智能有可能會(huì)超出人類的控制,Nrbert Wiener創(chuàng)立的控制論也說(shuō)明了這一點(diǎn)。
2. A【解析】推理判斷題。由第二段中的“a wish t preserve its wn existence"以及“it is a lgical cnsequence f the simple fact that the machine cannt achieve its riginal purpse if it is dead”可以看出,有特定目標(biāo)的機(jī)器會(huì)保護(hù)自身免于毀滅,故選A。
3. D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Sme researchers argue that we can seal the machines.,using them t answer difficult questins but never allwing them t affect the real wrld.” AJLA得知,一些研究者認(rèn)為利用防火墻可防止機(jī)器影響到現(xiàn)實(shí)世界。
4. C 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段的首句“Slving the safety prblem well enugh t mve frward in Al seems t be pssible but nt easy."可知,很好地解決安全問(wèn)題并取得進(jìn)展是有可能的,但是絕非易事,C項(xiàng)符合文章內(nèi)容。
B
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文為說(shuō)明文,題材為科普知識(shí)類。過(guò)不了幾年,社交類機(jī)器人就會(huì)以更加人性化的服務(wù)方式進(jìn)入人們的日常生活。它們不僅是一種工具,而且會(huì)成為人們的朋友根據(jù)不同的人群提供不同的服務(wù)。
5. B【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知,如今家庭機(jī)器人可以做日常家務(wù),但是社交類機(jī)器人則更像是人類的朋友,而不僅僅是工具。例如:這些機(jī)器人可判斷人的不同心情,從而做出不同的反應(yīng)。由此可推知與家庭機(jī)器人相比,這些機(jī)器人更像人類。
6. D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知,你可以和這種機(jī)器人說(shuō)話,問(wèn)它問(wèn)題,要求它去執(zhí)行各種任務(wù),這種機(jī)器人不僅可以給出問(wèn)題的一般答案,而且還會(huì)根據(jù)不同的家庭成員作出不同的反應(yīng),如提醒老人吃藥或者拍全家福等。D項(xiàng)中服從命令”和“提醒吃藥”都是這種機(jī)器人可以勝任的。
7. C【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段的“…is built t assist custmers in a stre"可知,Oshbt可以作為售貨員,幫助顧客找到他們所需要的商品,并且還能根據(jù)顧客需要提出建議。
8. B【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句可知,設(shè)計(jì)這種機(jī)器人不是用來(lái)替代工人的,而是和其他工人一起工作的,因此它們會(huì)成為我們的同事。
9. D【解析】主旨大意題。概括全文可知,本文主要介紹了社交類機(jī)器人,如為家庭提供人性化服務(wù)的 Jib rbt以及可作為售貨員的 Oshbt。
