浙江省台州市2019年中考英语试卷(含听力音频)

阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    Brooke wanted a dollhouse and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated home assistant powered by AI (人工智能). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices (设备) in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!

    Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Home Pod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom (增长) in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?

      ▲   You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, or driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.

    But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing that worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for "Alexa" or "OK Google" or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens shopping habits? And what if someone hacks (入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.

    What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?

(1)、From the passage, we know that Alexa ________.
A、can look after the baby B、can cook delicious food C、is a toy doll sold online D、is one kind of AI device
(2)、The underlined word "rare" in Paragraph 2 probably means.
A、unusual B、expensive C、harmful D、impossible
(3)、Which of the following is the best to fill in the "  ▲  " in Paragraph 3?
A、Convenience is the main advantage of voice shopping B、The cost of voice shopping is lower than other ways C、The popularity of voice shopping is increasing D、The technology of voice shopping needs improving
(4)、Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that when people try voice shopping, ________.
A、AI sometimes forgets people's orders B、personal information might be hacked C、it's difficult to cancel or return products D、the needs for products can't be satisfied
举一反三
 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C、D) 中选出最佳选项。

①Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves in the art world. AI image- making tools such as Midjourney and DALL-E 2 can now make amazing digital(数码的) paintings. How do they work?

②For DALL-E 2, the AI is fed huge collections of artworks. The program finds patterns(模式) in the pictures and, after a while, learns which features (特征) are important, such as people, animals, objects, styles, or colors. Then it can produce images that keep the key features and produce a good result. The app produces a lot of images at the same time but chooses the most accurate(准确的) ones for the user to choose from. 

③These days, anyone can go online or download an app to produce their own AI art. Just give the program a few key words and choose a style, and it will create a digital painting in the style you want. This means that anyone can now create art, even if they don't know how to paint. 

④Not everyone is happy about the growth of AI- generated (生成的) art. To some, it isn't art at all because AI depends on learning from only the information it is given. The AI isn't creating on its own. However, others think that AI is the same as humans and it is no different from any other artist. 

⑤Some people also say that AI art has no value because it is too easy. It isn't created step- by- step by a human. Yet the same is true of photography. Just as artists of an earlier age welcomed photography, some artists today are using AI to create unique works of art. These artists find that they have to work together with the AI in exploring and experimenting — it isn't simple at all!

⑥At the heart of this debate(辩论) is an important question: Will AI replace human artists, or will humans learn to use AI as a tool to create great art? Only time will tell. 

 阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

Have you ever imagined being able to communicate with your pets at home and have them understand everything you say?It sounds too good to be true,but scientists have started using AIto help communicate with animals. 

Professor Bake told Scientific Magazine that AI allows humans to use technology to watch and understand the sounds and signals animals communicate with so we humans can try to speak back to them. She said trying to communicate in animals' language could be better than teaching them how to use human sign language. AI is already helping us communicate with bats and bees. This could change what we know about these animals and our relationships with them. 

Professor Bake explained how Scientist Tovel had used recordings and AI to understand bats. "Bats have their own language. They often argue over food. They have different names,or 'signature calls'," she said,mother bats lower their voice when speaking to their babies. Their voice can never be heard with human ears. But AI makes this possible because a computer can be trained to listen like a bat. "

Actually,AI has so far achieved a lot in this field. For example,the computer not only listens but also watches bees' body movement to understand what they are communicating. Bake said scientists now know how bees say things such as "be quiet" or "stop". Scientist Landlof even created a robot Honeybee that entered a bee's home and was able to communicate with other bees when it wanted them to stop doing something or fly.

Whether you like it or not, artificial intelligence(AI)is here to stay. It bas already been used in many different fields. And now one of them is to help find the missing children. In Hubei Province, a group of 30 students at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST)arc working on a special project. They have developed an AI system that restores(修复)old photos. The clearer photos allow them to better look for missing people. 

The project was set up by Sheng Jianzhong in 2020. At the time, be was a student at HUST School. One day, be came across a missing child notice. The photos on the notice were difficult to make out. "These photos may be of no practical use even if the child is around," he said. As a result, Sheng decided to use his skills to help the missing children. And to his surprise, many of his schoolmates volunteered to join him. 

Over the past three years, the team tried to develop an AI system for restoring the photos. The team has restored more than 1, 000 photos. With the help of AI system, 11 missing children were successfully found. One success story is that of Sun Haiyang. Thanks to the AI program, in December 2021, the father, Sun Haiyang found his son after 14 years of search. 

In the future, Sheng plans to build a more excellent team to run the project. The goal is not just to further improve the technology. More importantly, he hopes to see more young people work for good causes.

Developed by US company OpenAI,ChatGPT has taken the internet by.storm. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails,translate languages,and answer all kinds of questions.It does this by drawing on information collected from a large amount of internet text.One breakthrough behind today's model is a network called Transformer.The GPT models built by Open AI combined Transformer with unsupervised(无人指导的)learning,which means that the models can learn by themselves without being told what to look at.

"One of the biggest problems with ChatGPT is that it comes back,very  confidently,with false information,"Michael Wooldridge told The Guardian.This means that ChatGPT learns information from various resources but it cannot decide what is true or false.Some argue that ChatGPT will be used to make fake news, spread falsities,or be used for ill purposes.

Andreas Schleicher thinks the chatbot will become a very powerful tool in the development of education.But he also mentioned,"There's a great risk that we'll just blindly follow the answers that we get from ChatGPT rather than question it and create new knowledge.If students are only as smart as a smartphone,it means educators are not doing enough.People should focus on developing human skills that actually are important,such as imagination and creativity."

Schleicher added that as a tool,ChatGPT is going to make learning much more interesting and powerful,but as a purpose and goal,humans need to work very hard to win that race with technology.
