Machines that tell doctors today what symptoms the patients have may soon be recommending surgery. Others will design new buil

18、dings after questioning buyers about their preferences. Increasingly, human thought processes and even values are being programmed into computers, according to Earl Joseph, president of a consulting firm. “Imagine machines which are smarter and more intelligent than humans and, with their embedded (

19、植入的) initiative, cant wait to tell you about it,“ he says.In everyday life, the future will mean talking directly to computers without pushing buttons. Just tell a toaster, stove or other kitchen devices what to do, and it will hear the message. The oven may even decide itself how long to cook the r

20、oast. Tell the television, “I want to watch Channel 12 at 8 p.m. , but store the show for next week“ and the job will be done.The computer will talk back, too. Already some soft-drink machines complain loudly if you dont deposit enough cash. At home, a bedside machine may someday tell you, “You forg

21、et to turn off the basement light.“Away from home, the automobile of the future will think for itself. Scientists predict that drivers will feed destinations into a computer that would then explain what route to take and even tell where parking spaces are available. A citys traffic-control system mi

26、 feed destinations into a computer that will explain what route to take and even tell where parking space are available.（D）Both and .42 There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize

27、that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manu

28、facturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect“conservi

29、ng heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degree, much of the popular ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely hel

30、d, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperaturea result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degree could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our to

31、p farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if were lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the wor

32、lds temperature will stay about the same as it is now.42 As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _.（A）caused widespread damage in the countryside（B） affected the entire eastern half of the United States（C） had damaged effect on health（D）existed merely

33、in urban and industries areas43 As to the greenhouse effect, the author _.（A）shares the same view with the scientists（B） is uncertain of its occurrence（C） rejects it as being ungrounded（D）thinks that it will destroy the world soon44 The underlined word “offset“ in the seventh line Paragraph 2 could

34、be replaced by _.（A）slip into（B） make up for（C） set up（D）catch up with45 It can be concluded that _.（A）raising the worlds temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth（B） lowering the worlds temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster（C）

35、almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade（D）the worlds temperature will remain constant in the years to come46 This passage is primarily about _.（A）the greenhouse effect（B） the burning of fossil fuels（C） the potential effect of air pollution（D）the likelihood of a new ice ag

36、e47 For some time past it had been widely accepted that babiesand other creatureslearn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards“; and there was no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be direc

37、tly related to such basic physiological(生理的) “drives“ as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no rew

38、ard except the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward“ the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse- the milk

39、but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on“

40、 a display of lightsand indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting obs

41、ervation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble“ when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mas

42、tering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.47 According to the author, babies learn to do things which _.（A）are directly related to pleasure（B） will meet their physical needs（C） will bring them a feeling of succe

43、ss（D）will satisfy their curiosity48 Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby _.（A）would make learned responses when it saw the milk（B） would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink（C） would continue the simple movements without being given milk（D）would turn its head to right or le

44、ft when it had enough to drink49 In Papouseks experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _.（A）have the lights turned on（B） please their parents（C） be rewarded with milk（D）be praised50 The babies would “smile and bubble“ at the lights because _.（A）the lights were directly relate

45、d to some basic “drives“（B） the sight of the lights was interesting（C） they need not turn back to watch the lights（D）they succeeded in “switching on“ the lights51 According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of _.（A）a basic human desire to understand and cont

46、rol the world（B） the satisfaction of certain physiological needs（C） their strong desire to solve complex problems（D）a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills52 The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers u

47、sed to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human br

48、ain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the fight software(软件) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon(硅) Will arise first to rival and then exceed their

49、 human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbons long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of ro
