2019年6月·第3套 英语六级阅读理解（四选一） 第 2 篇 · 51–55 题答案与解析

What is the author's greatest concern about the use of AI? 问的是作者最担心的具体一件事，对应原文某处明示，不需多步推理。

What is the author's greatest concern about the use of AI? 主干 What is the author's concern，about the use of AI 介词短语作 concern 的限定语；greatest 形容词最高级修饰 concern，强调”最”——只能选一个最大担忧。

• A)与原文相反

  Computers are performing lots of creative tasks 称计算机正在完成大量创造性任务，与 machines have a pretty hard time emulating creativity 直接相反——原文恰恰强调机器在创造性上做得很差。

• B)✓ 正确
  • artificial intelligence (AI) will surpass many of the abilities that we believe make us special↔Many abilities will cease to be unique to human beings
  • What will his place be in a world where machines beat us in one area after another?↔Many abilities will cease to be unique to human beings

  预判”人类独特能力将不再独特”，Many abilities will cease to be unique to human beings 是该预判的标准转述，主语 abilities 与谓语 cease to be unique 与原文 surpass/beat us 完全等值。

• C)无中生有

  Computers may become more rational than humans 谈”计算机比人更理性”这一比较，原文 we must aim to complement the rationality of the machine 只承认机器理性、号召人去补足它，从未做”比人更理性”的比较，更没把它说成作者担忧点。

• D)答非所问

  Many human skills are fast becoming outdated 取自 to develop outdated skills in interacting with outdated machines，原文 outdated 用于批评教育体系仍训练过时技能，并非作者最大担忧；最大担忧是独特性丧失，不是技能过时。

What impresses the author most in the field of AI? 问作者最印象深的具体一件事，原文应有明示的”最”标记词。

What impresses the author most in the field of AI? 主干 What impresses the author，most 副词修饰动词 impresses，强调最高程度；in the field of AI 介词短语限定范围。

• A)答非所问

  Google's experimental driverless cars require little human intervention 描述的是 required human intervention 124 times. That is one intervention about every 8,047 km 的事实，原文确有，但作者并未用 most impressive 评价它——most impressive 留给了”一年内的进步幅度”。

• B)偷换概念

  Google's cars have surpassed his driving ability in just a single year 把”一年内有 400% 进步”偷换为”一年内已超过作者驾驶水平”，但原文 Google's cars will easily surpass my own driving ability later this year 用的是将来时 will...later this year——尚未超越，且不是 most impressive 的对象。

• C)✓ 正确
  • even more impressive is the progress in just a single year↔Google has made huge progress in autonomous driving in a short time
  • human interventions fell from 0.8 times per thousand miles to 0.2, a 400% improvement↔Google has made huge progress in autonomous driving in a short time

  预判”短时间内取得巨大进步”，Google has made huge progress in autonomous driving in a short time 双双匹配 huge=400% improvement、in a short time=in just a single year，完整覆盖。

• D)无中生有

  Google has become a world leader in the field of autonomous driving 给谷歌贴”世界领导者”标签，原文从未做这种排位评价，仅给出谷歌自身的进度数据。

What do we learn from the passage about creativity? 是问原文对 creativity 这一概念描述了什么，答案需直接对应原文表述。

What do we learn from the passage about creativity? 主干 What do we learn；from the passage 状语指明信息来源；about creativity 介词短语限定信息话题。

• A)与原文相反

  It is rational 说创造力是理性的，但原文 a dose of illogical creativity will complement the rationality of the machine 用 illogical 形容 creativity，并把它与 rationality 对立——创造力恰恰是非理性。

• B)与原文相反

  It is predictable 称创造力可预测，原文 arbitrary enough not to be predicted by a computer 明示创造力”任意到不能被预测”——选项直接翻转。

• C)过度推断

  It is human specific 把创造力升级为”人类专属”，原文只说”机器目前难以模拟创造力”，并未排除其它生物或未来机器也可能有，”专属”是越过原文的强判断。

• D)✓ 正确
  • machines have a pretty hard time emulating creativity↔It is yet to be emulated by AI

  预判”机器尚未能模拟创造力”，It is yet to be emulated by AI 主谓结构与原文完全等值；yet to be 表”尚未发生”，对应原文 have a hard time + So far 的语义。

What should schools help children do in the era of AI? 问学校应做什么，原文必有 should/need to/must 的建议句直接对应。

What should schools help children do in the era of AI? 主干 What should schools help children do；help children do 为”help sb. do”的省略 to 不定式结构；in the era of AI 状语限定时代背景。

• A)✓ 正确
  • we should foster a creative spirit↔Cultivate original thinking
  • we can still be the most creative↔Cultivate original thinking

  预判”培育创造性精神”，Cultivate original thinking 在动词（cultivate=foster）与名词短语（original thinking=creative spirit）两层做同义替换，是标准答案。

• B)无中生有

  Learn to work independently 提”独立工作”，原文从未提及；恰相反，原文 learn how to best work with smart computers 强调与机器协作，而非独立。

• C)与原文相反

  Compete with smart machines 说与机器竞争，原文 we must aim to complement the rationality of the machine, rather than to compete with it 明确反对竞争、主张互补——选项直接翻转主张。

• D)偷换概念

  Understand how AI works 说理解 AI 的工作原理，原文谈的是”如何与智能计算机协作以改善决策”，并非”理解 AI 工作原理”——它是相邻语境的概念嫁接，非作者主张。

How can we humans justify our future existence? 问”如何”，对应原文某句给出的具体路径，可逐字落地。

How can we humans justify our future existence? 主干 How can we justify our existence；humans 与 we 是同位语，强调”我们人类”；future 形容词修饰 existence。

• A)与原文相反

  By constantly outsmarting computers 称要”持续比计算机更聪明”，原文 even if computers will outsmart us 已让步承认 computers will outsmart us（计算机将更聪明），人类靠的是创造力而非更聪明——选项直接反转。

• B)答非所问

  By adopting a long-term perspective 取自 we need to keep the long-term perspective in mind，原文是”在心中保持长远视角”作为提醒方式，并非作者给出的”为存在正名”的根本手段——根本手段是创造力。

• C)无中生有

  By rationally compromising with AI 称”与 AI 理性妥协”，原文从未出现 compromise 或同义词，原文主张是”互补”（complement），不是妥协。

• D)✓ 正确
  • if we aren't, we won't be providing much value in future ecosystems↔By providing value with our creativity
  • even if computers will outsmart us, we can still be the most creative↔By providing value with our creativity

  预判”靠创造力提供价值”，By providing value with our creativity 双双匹配 creativity（手段）与 providing value（目的），且 by 短语正是 how 题的标准回答形式。
