The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.

Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.

A.prevent themselves from being destroyed B.achieve their original goals independently C.do anything successfully with given orders D.beat humans in international chess matches

69.According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to ________. A.help super intelligent machines work better B.be secure against evil human beings C.keep machines from being harmed D.avoid robots\' affecting the world

70.What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines? A.It will disappear with the development of AI. B.It will get worse with human interference. C.It will be solved but with difficulty. D.It will stay for a decade. 2. [2017·江苏卷]

Before birth,babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices.They can even distinguish their mother\'s voice from that of a female stranger.But when it comes to embryonic learning (胎教),birds could ruletheroost. As recently reported in TheAuk:OrnithologicalAdvances,birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch (孵化). chicks can then imitate their mum\'s call within a few days of entering the

This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia biologist at Flinders University in South Australia,and her

colleagues.Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs. When the eggs were hatched,the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers—a sound that served as their regular “feed me!” call.

To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds,the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren,another species of Australian songbird.First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queensland before and after hatching. Then they identified begging calls by analysing the order and number of notes.A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks,ranking them by similarity.

It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their mums. And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs,the more similar were the babies\' begging calls. In addition,the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mum\'s voice were rewarded with the most food.

This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological (神经系统的) strengths of children to parents.An evolutionary inference can then be drawn. “As a parent,do you invest in quality children,or do you invest in children that are in need?”Kleindorfer asks. “Our results suggest that they might be going for quality.”

58.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means “________”. A.be the worst B.be the best C.be just as bad D.be just as good 59.What are Kleindorfer\'s findings based on? A.Similarities between the calls of mums and chicks. B.The observation of fairy wrens across Australia. C.The data collected from Queensland\'s locals. D.Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds.

C.fit the environment better D.make the loudest call 3.[2017·江苏卷]
