年人乐意使用智能家居设备。第二节主题语境:人与社会一一科学与技术本文是议论文。文章论述了未来人工智能不会取代人类,掌控世界。36.C。本空前描述人们担心人工智能将会掌控世界:本空后描述人工智能在许多行业已经取代且将会取代人力。由此可推断,本空内容应与“人工智能取代人类”相关,C项符合语境。C项中的taking over与本空前的take over和本空后的replaced相照应。37.G。本空前说明人工智能不会取代人类;下文几段具体论述人工智能缺少人类具有的一些品质及能力。由此可知,本空内容与“为什么人工智能不会取代人类”相关,且能起到统领下文的作用,故选G项。G项顺接本空前的it cannot completely replace people,且对其作进一步的解释说明。38.F。Al cannot feel emotions是本段的主旨句。结合While Al may be able to deal withissues in a humanlike way,it is not able to feel emotions like sympathy or understanding,人工智能可以像人类一样解决一些问题,但它们没有情感。也就是说,它们不可能完全取代人类。故F项符合语境。F项中的emotions与上文中的emotions相照应,jobs requiringemotions are still best done by humans instead of Al说明人工智能不会完全取代人类。39.A。下文中的But the way that Al creates poetry is by adding existing poems.the poem'sstye指出人工智能根据自己的数据库创作诗歌,无法自己创作,进一步解释了本段主旨句Al cannot invent something new;再根据But可知,设空处与下文为转折关系,故A项符合文意。A项中的poems与下文中的poems为原词复现关系。40.B。根据本空后的The importance of human contact can be seen through numbers以及所列举实例可知,对于人类来说,人与人之间的交际很重要,而这种交际是人工智能不能带给人类的,故B项符合语境,可作为本段的主旨句。B项中的human contact与本空后的human contact、speaking to a human及speak with an operator相照应。语言知识运用第一节主题语境:人与社会一一科学与技术本文是记叙文。科技改变了四肢瘫痪者Todd Stabelfeldt的生活。41.C。根据本句中的But和下文中Stabelfeldt所说的Your wife should be your lover andyour friend ..a free caregiver Stabelfeldt is a quadriplegic with no movement below hisshoulders He spends most of his time running his IT business from his home office...his wifearound the house,and building his charity可知,虽然Stabelfeldt四肢瘫痪,但他不想依赖妻子照顾他,take care of符合语境。42.B。根据文章首段的描述及下文中的Stabelfeldt is a quadriplegic…shoulders和Hespends most of his time running his IT business from his home office...his wife around the house,and building his charity可知,在Stabelfeldt看来,妻子是爱人、朋友,而不是免费的家庭护理员,instead of符合语境。43.D。根据下文中的He spends most of his time running his IT business from his home officehis wife around the house,,and building his charity可知,Stabelfeldt虽然四肢瘫痪,但他并没有成天自我怜悯,而是积极生活。feel sorry for yourself觉得自己倒霉;自我怜悯。44.A。根据上文的描述及下文中的He spends most of his time running his IT business from hishome office.his wife around the house,and building his charity可知,Stabelfeldt虽然四肢瘫痪,但他努力在生活中做到独立,包括在婚姻生活中,故选independence。45.B。46.B。根据下文中的Technologies like Apple's“Home”app allow Stabelfeldt to
