Artificial intelligence: Google’s AlphaGo beats Go master Lee Se-dol
A computer program has beaten a master Go player 3-0 in a best-of-five competition, in what is seen as a landmark moment for artificial intelligence (人工智能).
Google‟s AlphaGo program was playing against Lee Se-dol in Seoul, in South Korea.
Mr Lee had been confident he would win before the competition started.
“AlphaGo played consistently (稳定地) from beginning to the end while Lee, as he is only human, showed some mental weakness,” one of Lee‟s coaches, Kwon Kap-Yong, told the AFP news agency.
Mr Lee is considered as a successful Go player, having won many competitions in his career.
Go is a game of two players who take turns putting black or white stones on a 19-by-19 grid (棋格). Players win by surrounding their competitors pieces with their own.
In the first game of the series (系列赛), AlphaGo won by a very small chance – Mr Lee had led for most of the match, but AlphaGo managed to build up a strong lead in its closing stages.
After losing the second match to DeepMind, Lee Se-dol said he was “speechless” adding that the AlphaGo machine played a “nearly perfect game”.
Experts said that Lee Se-dol had brought his “top game” but that AlphaGo had won “in great style”.
The AlphaGo system was developed by British computer company DeepMind which was bought by Google in 2014. It has built up its special skills by studying older games and teasing out so many kinds of ways of play. And, according to DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, it has also spent a lot of time just playing the game.
“It played itself, millions and millions of times and each time got a little better – it learns from its mistakes,” he told the BBC before the matches started.
This good circle of continuous improvement meant the super computer went into the five-match series stronger than when it beat the European player late last year.
Does this mean artificial intelligence is now smarter than us and will kill us humans? Certainly not. AlphaGo doesn‟t care if it wins or loses. Does it mean that artificial intelligence will soon take your job? Possibly you should be more worried about that.
1.What had Lee Se-dol thought about the competition before it started?
A．He would beat AlphaGo.
B．AlphaGo would lead the match.
C．It was hard to tell who would win.
D．AlphaGo would have some weakness.
2.What happened in the first game of the series?
A．Mr Lee won by a very small chance.
B．AlphaGo had led for most of the match.
C．Mr Lee was beaten by AlphaGo finally.
D．AlphaGo built up a strong lead at the beginning.
3.What does the underlined phrase “teasing out” probably mean?
A．Giving out. B．Working out.
C．Running out. D．Pointing out.
4.The writer may agree that ______ in the future.
A．human will be killed by artificial intelligence
B．artificial intelligence will do everyt hing for human
C．people might lose jobs because of artificial intelligence
D．artificial intelligence will be much smarter than human

阅读短文，并按要求完成66-70题。
Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.
AI’s recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.
According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries, AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配) cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver’s jobs in the future.
On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmers for AI systems (系统) and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取代) by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.
AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.

Artificial intelligence( 人工智能) is the ability of a computer or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence " over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.
An unusual goal of AI research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems and think logically( 合乎逻辑地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize( 识别) human faces, operate self-driving cars and compete in some game systems like playing chess. However, some people consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.
Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We need not only bright students but average(普通的) students. As for average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.
Scientists hope to create creative and emotional(有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.
1.From paragraph 1, we know that_
A.all problems can be solved by computers
B.machines with AI can think and learn.
C.AI works the same way as people do
2.According to the passage, what can't AI do at present?
A.Understand human speech. B.Compete in some game systems
C.Understand human feelings
3.The underlined word. "it" in paragraph 2 refers to
A.the danger. B.a scientist. C.AI
4.According to the passage, if students want to become successful AI designers, they should learn_______ well.
A.math and art B.art and computer science. C.math and computer science
5.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists' _______about AI.
A.wishes B.worries C.feelings

Artificial Intelligence(AI，人工智能)can help us make phone calls. It can guide us to where we want to go. It can play games. And now, AI can do even more things.
Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English.
The researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from news stories. Then, language experts compared the results to the translation that were done by humans. The experts said that the system's translations were as good as the human translations.
Experts used several methods to improve the system's translation abilities. “Much of our research is really learned from how we humans do things，” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.
One method is called dual learning(对偶学习). In this method, the system translates every sentence from Chinese to English, as well as translates the sentences back from English into Chinese. This way, the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes. This is similar to what humans do to make sure their translations are exact.
Another method makes use of deliberation networks(推敲网络)．The researchers taught the system to repeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Gradually，the system can improve the quality(质量) of its translations. This is similar to how people correct their own writing by going through it again and again.
1.Microsoft created a system that can ________.
A. make phone calls B. give people directions
C. play games with people D. translate news articles
2.What did the experts say about the system's translations?
A. They were not exact.
B. They were as good as human translations.
C. They were better than human translations.
D. It's hard to tell whether the translations were correct.
3.Dual learning trains the system to translate ________.
A. more quickly B. different sentences
C. more exactly D. the same sentence repeatedly
4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. dual learning B. the process
C. the system D. people's own writing
5.The passage wants to tell us ________.
A. what artificial intelligence can do for us
B. how sentences are translated from Chinese to English
C. how the machine translation system was developed
D. why Microsoft created a machine translation system
