2016年湖北省荆州市初中升学考试英语试题

阅读下列短文,从短文后所给各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。   

Who is smarter, human being or artificial intelligence(AI, 人工智能)?The question swept the world a few months ago. In March 2016, AlphaGo, an AI program developed by Google, had the Go(围棋) match with Lee Sedol, a South Korean Go player. He is the world top player of this old Chinese game.

    In October 2015, AlphaGo became the first computer program to beat a professional(职业的) human Go player. And this time, it beat Lee Sedol 4-1.

    In fact, before the match, most people believed that Lee would certainly be the winner, because they didn't think that AI was good enough to beat the human mind. However, the result was disappointing. As a machine, AlphaGo would never get tired, while Lee Sedol was only a human and humans must have some weaknesses.

AlphaGo's wins over a human champion(冠军) show that computers can do more difficult tasks. Some people may worry whether computers are now smart enough to beat us at everything. But scientists say that is not the case. Real life problems can be more difficult than the Go game. Thomas Johnson, a scientist of AI said, "It's not hard to get a computer program to remember and produce facts. What is hard is getting computers to use knowledge in everyday situation." We believe we can use the technology of AI to improve the world.

(1)、The match between AlphaGo and Lee Sedol is mentioned at the beginning of the article mainly to_____________.

A、get the reader to think about AI B、draw the reader's attention to AlphaGo C、show how AI is usually tested D、tell the reader AI has over the human brain
(2)、What was the result of the match?

A、Google program beat AlphaGo. B、Lee Sedol won AlphaGo 4-1. C、Lee Sedol was beaten. D、Neither side won the match.
(3)、— Why did most people believe Lee would be the winner? 

— Because            .

A、computers had weaknesses and also got tired B、AlphaGo only beat a human Go player once C、the Go game was invented by Chinese people D、computers were not so smart as a human
(4)、What does Thomas Johnson probably agree with?

A、AI does better than humans in every situation. B、It's hard for AI to beat the human at everything. C、The development of AI could be harmful one day. D、AI should be used to help us make difficult decisions.

After the Chengdu FISU World University Games ended, it's said that the venues(场馆)will be used for sports and public fitness.

The city had 49 venues for the events and 13 of them were newly built. Most of the old venues are located in universities and will be used for the development of sports between colleges.

While preparing for the games, Chengdu promoted the opening of the venues to the public and held sports events in them. In 2022 alone, venues were opened to the public for free or at low cost for nearly 80,000 hours. They served more than 5.09 million people, and more than 730 sporting events were held in them. These venues will continue to be used for sports and fitness.

In the short term, Chengdu will focus on opening venues to benefit its residents(居民). It can also meet their growing needs for sports and fitness to improve their health.

The athletes' village will also remain. During the games, it provided many services for athletes from more than 110 countries. After the games ended, all of the village's facilities(设施) will be under the control of Chengdu University, where the village is located. Gong Jia, a volunteer from the university, said she was proud that the village was located in her school.

The village covers 380,000 square meters of new buildings. "All of them will be turned into teaching and living space for teachers and students at the university," she said.

Recently, a short video showing a member of the cleaning staff at the Summer Palace in Beijing explaining Buddhist tourist sites(佛教景点) drew wide attention online.

In the video, Zhang Xu explains the tourist sites to several visitors who are doing research. What makes it special is that he expertly names a list of hard-to-pronounce Buddhist sites. He speaks so easily and confidently that it seems he is doing a tongue twister(绕口令). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  But he is wearing the uniform worn by the cleaning staff and holding a broom(扫帚). After the explanation, Zhang smiles and returns to his work as though nothing has happened.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} It quickly became a hot topic. People were surprised at how such a cleaner could become an expert in certain areas.

Zhang became a member of the cleaning staff at the palace in late 2021. He is required to walk about 40,000 steps inside the palace every day. So he knows a lot about it. "The traditional architecture of the palace is not just a number of bricks(砖块). {#blank#}4{#/blank#} They know how to speak to people who understand them," Zhang said. "They show the beauty of traditional Chinese architecture."

A. The video was shared online by the tourists.

B. I often read books about it in my spare time.

C. These buildings are "friends" that have a long history.

D. The visitors think Zhang must be a tour guide or an expert.

E. Here you can improve your understanding of history.

The popular TV programme, Touching China, was shown successfully on 3rd March 2022. We heard a name——Zhu Yanfu. His story moved everyone deeply. 

Zhu Yanfu was born in Zhangjiaquan village in Shandong Province in July 1933. When he was only 14 years old, he joined the army. Although he was young, he was not afraid to take part in wars. He lost his hands, his left eye and both legs below the knee during the Korean War in the 1950s. But he still said, "I don't regret what I have done to protect our country. "

In 1956, he chose to abandon the special care in the army nursing home and returned to his home town. He ever said, "I don't want to depend on our country to support me. I want to work for our country and serve its people. "

Zhu Yanfu was chosen as the secretary of the village's Party branch(村党支部书记) in 1957. He spent about 25 years developing the poor village. With his hard work, Zhangjiaquan became the first village to have electricity in the town in 1978. Now the people in his home town live a better life. 

Besides, Zhu Yanfu spent his money buying books for the reading room he set up in 1957. He later built an evening school which was the first school in the village. He understood that the best way to live a better life was by enriching people's minds. 

In order to pass on the revolutionary(革命的) tradition, he completed two autobiographical(自传体的) novels Extreme Life and A Man Without Regret during seven years. 

His story was widely reported from the 1990s and moved many people. Zhu Yanfu is a national hero who we should respect and learn from.
