12．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 （穩(wěn)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 （系列賽），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．

48．What had Lee Se-dol thought about the competition before it started？A
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．
49．What happened in the first game of the series？C
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．
50．What does the underlined phrase"teasing out"probably mean？B
A．Giving out．
B．Working out．
C．Running out．
D．Pointing out．
51．The writer may agree thatCin the future．
A．human will be killed by artificial intelligence
B．a(chǎn)rtificial intelligence will do everyt hing for human
C．people might lose jobs because of artificial intelligence
D．a(chǎn)rtificial intelligence will be much smarter than human．

Answer 1

分析 人工智能：谷歌研發(fā)的"AlphaGo"對(duì)陣圍棋高手李世石．
電腦軟件已經(jīng)連下三城在5局3勝制的規(guī)則下完勝了大師級(jí)圍棋高手，這已經(jīng)成為了人工智能的一個(gè)歷史性時(shí)刻．
今日，在韓國首爾，谷歌自行研究開發(fā)的‘阿爾法圍棋'已經(jīng)完成了與韓國圍棋高手李世石的對(duì)弈．親愛的‘小李子'在賽前曾拍著胸脯承諾一定能贏！
"AlphaGo"全程發(fā)揮穩(wěn)定，李就沒能做到，作為人類，他的腦力承受不了，"李的前師父，權(quán)甲龍對(duì)法新社如是說道．
小李子（李世石）是一名當(dāng)之無愧的圍棋圣手，他在傳奇的職業(yè)生涯里已經(jīng)贏下了數(shù)不清的專業(yè)比賽．圍棋，眾所周知，它是一項(xiàng)有兩人各執(zhí)黑白棋在19*19格的木板上進(jìn)行的回合制游戲．它以圍地多者為勝．
回到今天的話題，在系列賽的第一場(chǎng)比賽中，AlphaGo以微弱的優(yōu)勢(shì)獲勝．小李子曾在比賽中的絕大部分時(shí)間里具領(lǐng)先之勢(shì)，但是，AlphaGo在比賽收官階段運(yùn)營起了無可逆轉(zhuǎn)的巨大優(yōu)勢(shì)．來到第二局對(duì)弈，在輸?shù)暨@局后，小李子幾近啞口無言，只是輕描淡寫地補(bǔ)充到阿爾法幾乎發(fā)揮到了完美．兩位專家指出，小李子已經(jīng)為我們帶來了最頂尖的游戲！最頂尖的棋局，然而AlphaGo用更加華麗的風(fēng)格贏下了這場(chǎng)紫禁之巔的對(duì)決．
那么我們就來看看阿爾法這個(gè)軟件程式把～． AlphaGo系統(tǒng)最開發(fā)于英國公司DeepMind之手，于2014年被谷歌收購．AlphaGo是通過學(xué)習(xí)老棋局以及梳理他人對(duì)圍棋的片段建立起來的．此外，根據(jù)DeepMind的CEO Demis Hassabis所說，AlphaGo也花了很長的時(shí)間進(jìn)行真正的對(duì)弈．比賽前，Demis Hassabis向BBC的人員說道："AlphaGo能左右互搏！自己跟自己的另外一個(gè)版本對(duì)干，甚至它已經(jīng)對(duì)弈了數(shù)以百萬次的棋局．并且它的對(duì)弈水平也循序漸進(jìn)地變得更好，它還能從自己所犯的錯(cuò)誤中汲取經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)哦．這個(gè)漸進(jìn)式提高自身水平的良性循環(huán)意味著：AlphaGo在與小李子對(duì)弈的BO5的比賽時(shí)已經(jīng)比去年打敗歐洲圍棋冠軍時(shí)還要強(qiáng)勢(shì)了哦！
這是否意味著，如今人工智能技術(shù)已比人類聰明？未來，渺小的人類將難逃滅頂之災(zāi)？當(dāng)然不是．AlphaGo不在乎輸贏，它甚至不在乎自己是否參與了這場(chǎng)對(duì)弈，當(dāng)然也不會(huì)賽后沏杯茶給你．這場(chǎng)勝利是否意味著人工智能將在不久的將來搶了你的工作？也許這才是你應(yīng)該擔(dān)憂的．

解答 48．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第四句"Mr Lee had been confident he would win before the competition started．小李子'在賽前曾拍著胸脯承諾一定能贏！"可知在比賽開始之前他認(rèn)為可以贏得比賽．故選A．
49．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題 問題：在系列賽第一場(chǎng)比賽中發(fā)生了什么？根據(jù)"In the first game of the series （系列賽），AlphaGo won by a very small chance-Mr Lee had led for most of the match在系列賽的第一場(chǎng)比賽中，阿爾法以微弱的優(yōu)勢(shì)獲勝"，所以換種方式說是李先生被打敗了．故選C．
50．B   詞義理解題 teasing out的含義要根據(jù)句子"It has built up its special skills by studying older games and teasing out so many kinds of ways of play．AlphaGo是通過學(xué)習(xí)老棋局以及他人對(duì)圍棋的解決方法中建立起來的"，在這里teasing out意思是解決，選項(xiàng)working out與之意思相近，故選B．
51．C 觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題 作者會(huì)同意那個(gè)觀點(diǎn)？根據(jù)文章最后"Does it mean that artificial intelligence will soon take your job？Possibly you should be more worried about that．這場(chǎng)勝利是否意味著人工智能將在不久的將來搶了你的工作？也許這才是你應(yīng)該擔(dān)憂的．"，選項(xiàng)C說由于人工智能人們可能會(huì)失業(yè)的．故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本題主要講述了人工智能與圍棋高手對(duì)弈，圍棋高手輸給人工智能，由此引發(fā)人們的思考．在做題時(shí)要仔細(xì)閱讀，認(rèn)真分析，尤其是詞義理解題，更要仔細(xì)對(duì)比思考．平時(shí)要多積累詞語．
