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
 阅读理解请阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。

 Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) should be used in schools?Experts believe that AI tools should be safely and properly used in schools rather than be banned (禁止). 

Zheng Qinghua,president of Tongji University,suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge,and it also influences teaching,learning and school management,Zheng mentioned many models such as Ernie Bot,an AI chatbot product of Baidu,were widely used among college students in China. The tool can write articles,solve science problems,and help students with homework and tests. 

Besides,a survey done by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT to help with homework. This made people worry about the bad influence of AI on education. For example,students may not be honest. Instead of simply depending on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests,people should focus on using AI to help students improve professional skills. In this way,they can better solve real﹣world problems,said Zheng. 

According to Colin Bailey,president of Queen Mary University of London,as ChatGPT grows rapidly,the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education,but on how to use it safely,effectively,and properly. Banning AI in schools is not the solution. Bailey also warned about harm caused by poorly designed (设计的) AI. 

Efforts to manage AI have come out around the world. In China,some rules for managing AI services have been carried out. America and England also have had similar rules. 

 阅读下面短文,按要求完成小题。1—2题完成句子;3—5题简略回答问题。

Do you wonder what your work environment will be in 10 years? Imagine you walk into your office, with the temperature just right. You sit down and begin a nice day. This is the kind of smart office that engineers are trying to make. It uses technology to help workers perform at their best while at work.

Sitting in front of a desk for too long can be bad for your health. For example, it can cause back and waist (腰) pain. Sanon, a company in Zhejiang, built UP7 to help solve this. As a smart lifting desk, UP7 can tell how long a user has been sitting in the chair. When it reaches the time set by the user, it will "tell" the user to stop working by either shaking the table or sending messages to the user's phone.

The company also designed a type of smart chair to match with the table. "The chair is so comfortable. It can adjust the arms and height according to your body shape," a user in Zhejiang posted on platforms. In smart offices, you probably won't use paper notebooks. Instead, you can try electronic paper books to put every work document online. N10, created by Hanvon Technology in Beijing, is a new "notebook" like this. It uses a screen that doesn't produce much light. Users write on it with an electronic pen.

"It truly feels like reading and writing on real paper, completely meeting my office needs," a user Mr. Lin said to People's Daily. "Notes recorded can be easily organized, searched and stored. You usually need several paper notebooks to do what the electronic notebook does."

Are you looking forward to working in such a comfortable and friendly work environment in the future?

Do you know ChatGPT? It's an artificial intelligence (AI 人工智能) tool. It can answer questions, tell {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( story), and do much more. But it's very" thirsty", said a new study.

In Xi' an, there is a restaurant owner named Xiong Wencheng. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( offer) the" No.6 combo"—a free meal, to help people in need for three years.

The" No.6 combo" is made up of a bowl of spicy soup. locally called hulatang, and a baijimo. It {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( consider) as a secret code(暗号) between the customer and the restaurant. With this secret code, the one who is in need can ask {#blank#}7{#/blank#} help without feeling embarrassed.
