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
请先阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入相应空白处的最佳选项

"Tum left! Tum right!" In the information technology class, Zhang Ruixuan was controlling a robot to move around. What a wonderful and 1 classroom!

"This is part of our artificial intelligence (AI) courses," said the 10th grader 2 Beijing 101 Middle School. The school 3 Al classes to both junior and senior high school students. Students want to learn more, 4 there are also optional (选修的) courses, apart from compulsory (必修的) courses that teach basic knowledge. That means students have more 5 .

"This term in our compulsory class, we have 6 learned to code (编程) using a programming language called Python," said Zhang. Using Python to code is a 7 skill for training AI models. In recent years, Python has been 8 in high school graduation exams in places like Beijing, Jiangsu and Anhui.

9 , having AI education in schools has become a growing trend in many places, with Zhejiang Province being a typical example. In 2020, Zhejiang added AI 10 into textbooks from Grade 5 in primary school all the way to senior high. In the city of Wenzhou, the government is planning to 11 1,000 AI experimental schools by 2025.

"With the development of 12 , our textbooks have been changing all the time," said ShangVin, an IT teacher from Beijing 101 Middle School. "From typing to using Word and Excel, and then today's coding and AI, the courses are 13 the times and teaching students necessary skills." In the future, there will be more jobs where AI knowledge is 14 . Even in daily life, people may need to understand things like ChatGPT and things on the Internet. "AI education will become increasingly 15 ," Shang added. People are looking forward to more information technology classes.

①AI(artificial intelligence 人工智能) and machine learning refer to the ability of machines to learn and act intelligently.It means they can make decisions,finish tasks,and even tell the possible future results based on what they learn from data (数据).

②AI and machine learning already play a bigger role in everyday life than you might imagine.Health care,banking,video games,every search on the Internet you make...,all are driven by AI.

③AI is going to change almost every field of modern life.Stephen Hawking said,"Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history."And Hawking added at once,"Unluckily,it might also be the last,unless we learn how to avoid the risks."

 ▲  , especially when you consider some countries are racing to develop AI—enabled autonomous weapons(人工智能自主武器).It is also going to change and take the place of many human jobs.The same worries also come from the public.According to the survey result from Centre for the Governance of AI,91%of the people (tend to and totally) agree that "AI is a technology that requires careful management" in Europe.

⑤But rather than agreeing with an idea of a helpless future where all human jobs are given over to robots.some people believe AI will make on working lives better.It will improve the work of humans,and new jobs will appear to take the place of the old ones.

⑥What's more,machines become more intelligent and they are able to finish more human tasks.Things which only belong to humans like creativity and critical (批判性的) thinking,will become even more valuable in the future.

⑦Like it or not,AI is here.Maybe changing ourselves and managing it well are the best way out .Just as Benjamin Franklin once said,"When you're finished changing,you're finished."

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.

 阅读下面短文,按照句子结构和上下文连贯的要求在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

 Do you know Chatbots(聊天机器人) and other AI programs(人工智能项目)? Do {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( student) need them at school? Do teachers need them at school, too? People look at it in different ways.

 Some people think Chatbots are useful to help students {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their study. They can give answers to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( them) questions. They can guide (引导) students with questions. Chatbots can work seven days a week and twenty-four {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( hour) a day. They can work with teachers, too. They can help teachers do lesson plans.

 However, Chatbots {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( be) not always useful. Students need {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( learn) things about computer first. They may use computers later, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} now they learn penmanship (书法) and spelling at school. Some teachers do not use AI programs {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( good), so they can't get much help from them for their teaching and students. AI programs do not have human connection(人类连接). Students need that in their school life. A Chatbot only {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( give) students answers. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} teacher knows how to help students get answers.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A new AI system can be used to make predictions(预测) on the crop yields(产量) up to six months before harvest. The tool counts flowers on fruit trees, which can help farmers improve crop yields and make better use of water and labor, and to plan harvests.

The system, developed by researchers at the National Robotarium in Edinburgh, can count flowers on fruit trees from photos taken by a smartphone. It works by knowing features, such as the edges and shapes of flowers. In Spain, studies on peach trees showed the system to be 90% correct in flower counts, which is much better than the 30% to 50% mistakes made by humans, according to researchers.

 "In countries all across the world, farmers often depend on traditional methods to predict their yields, which can lead to big mistakes, " said Fernando Auat Cheein, a professor at the National Robotarium. "The flower-counting AI makes it possible to help farmers make wise decisions about crop management. "

"By paying more attention to the areas of the farm that are expected to produce the most fruit, farmers can make the most of resources(资源), reduce their environmental effect, and improve the harvest, " said Mr Cheein. "Our AI tool can be used with traditional farming practices, making it easier for growers to get help without completely changing their present methods. " The researchers will next compare the AI's predictions with the actual peach harvest in the following months. If these turn out to be effective (有效的), they believe the method could be used for crops such as apples, pears, and cherries, helping fruit growers in Britain, Europe, and other areas.
