AChoice of Walks for Beginner and Experienced WalkersThe Carlow Autumn Walking Festival is a great opportunity for the beginner, experienced or advanced walker to enjoy the challenges of Carlow’s mountain hikes or the peace of its woodland walks.Walk 1 — The Natural WorldWith environmentalist Éanna Lamhna as the guide, this walk promises to be an informative tour. Walkers are sure to learn lots about the habitats and natural world of the Blackstairs.Date and Time: Saturday, 1st October, at 09:00Start Point: Scratoes BridgeWalk Duration: 6 hoursWalk 2 — Introduction to HillwalkingEmmanuel Chappard, an experienced guide, has a passion for making the great outdoors accessible to all. This mountain walk provides an insight into the skills required for hillwalking to ensure you get the most from future walking trips.Date and Time: Sunday, 2nd October, at 09:00Start Point: Deerpark Car ParkWalk Duration: 5 hoursWalk 3 — Moonlight Under the StarsWalking at night-time is a great way to step out of your comfort zone. Breathtaking views of the lowlands of Carlow can be enjoyed in the presence of welcoming guides from local walking clubs. A torch (手电筒) along with suitable clothing is essential for walking in the dark. Those who are dressed inappropriately will be refused permission to participate.Date and Time: Saturday, 1st October, at 18:30Start Point: The Town HallWalk Duration: 3 hoursWalk 4 — Photographic Walk in Kilbrannish ForestThis informative walk led by Richard Smyth introduces you to the basic principles of photography in the wild. Bring along your camera and enjoy the wonderful views along this well-surfaced forest path.Date and Time: Sunday, 2nd October, at 11:45Start Point: Kilbrannish Forest Recreation AreaWalk Duration: 1.5 hours1. Which walk takes the shortest time?A. The Natural World.B. Introduction to Hillwalking.C. Moonlight Under the Stars.D. Photographic Walk in Kilbrannish Forest.2. What are participants in Walk 3 required to do?A. Wear proper clothes.B. Join a walking club.C. Get special permits.D. Bring a survival guide.3. What do the four walks have in common?A. They involve difficult climbing.B. They are for experienced walkers.C. They share the same start point.D. They are scheduled for the weekend.BDo you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit?Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.And you’ll never be without something to read.4. Why did BART start the kiosk program?A. To promote the local culture.B. To discourage phone use.C. To meet passengers’ needs.D. To reduce its running costs.5. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?A. By popularity.B. By length.C. By theme.D. By language.6. What has Trost been doing recently?A. Organizing a story contest.B. Doing a survey of customers.C. Choosing a print publisher.D. Conducting interviews with artists.7. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?A. It will close down.B. Its profits will decline.C. It will expand nationwide.D. Its ridership will increase.CWe all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey,Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.8. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?A. It guarantees the variety of food.B. It requires day-to-day care.C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance.D. It relies on farmer’s markets.9. What information does the convenient app offer?A. Real-time weather changes.B. Current condition of the plants.C. Chemical pollutants in the soil.D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.10. What can be concluded about BMF employees?A. They have a great passion for sports.B. They are devoted to community service.C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.D. They have a strong environmental awareness.11. What does the text mainly talk about?A. BMF’s major strengths.B. BMF’s general management.C. BMF’s global influence.D. BMF’s technical standards.DGiven the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders—so they areon the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.12. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. If read by someone poorly educated.B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.C. If written by someone less competent.D. If translated by someone unacademic.13. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A. It is packed with complex codes.B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.C. It provides step-by-step instructions.D. It is intended for AI professionals.14. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?.A. Observe existing regulations on it.B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.15What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To recommend a book on AI.B. To give a brief account of AI history.C. To clarify the definition of AI.D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试分类汇编2—常用逻辑用语(文科)
2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试分类汇编(2)常用逻辑用语(一)、命题及其关系、充分条件、必要条件1.[2014·北京卷] 5.设a,b是实数,则“a>b”是“a2>b2”的()A.充分而不必要条件B.必要而不充分条件C.充分必要条件D.既不充分也不必要条件[解析] 5.D当ab<0时,由a>b不一定推出a2>b2,反之也不成立.2.[2014·广东卷] 在△ABC中,角A,B,C所对应的边分别为a,b,c,则“a≤b”是“sin A≤sin B”的()A.充分必要条件B.充分非必要条件C.必要非充分条件D.非充分非必要条件[解析].A设R是三角形外切圆的半径,R>0,由正弦定理,得a=2R sin A,b=2R sin B.故选A.∵sin≤A sin B,∴2R sin A≤2R sin B,∴a≤b.同理也可以由a≤b推出sin A≤sinB.3.[2014·江西卷]6.下列叙述中正确的是()A.若a,b,c∈R,则“ax2+bx+c≥0”的充分条件是“b2-4ac≤0”B.若a,b,c∈R,则“ab2>cb2”的充要条件是“a>c”C.命题“对任意x∈R,有x2≥0”的否定是“存在x∈R,有x2≥0”D.l是一条直线,α,β是两个不同的平面,若l⊥α,l⊥β,则α∥β[解析] 6.D对于选项A,a>0,且b2-4ac≤0时,才可得到ax2+bx+c≥0成立,所以A错.对于选项B,a>c,且b≠0时,才可得到ab2>cb2成立,所以B错.对于选项C,命题的否定为“存在x∈R,有x2<0”,所以C错.对于选项D,垂直于同一条直线的两个平面相互平行,所以D正确.4.[2014·辽宁卷] 5.设a,b,c是非零向量,已知命题p:若a·b=0,b·c=0,则=0;命题q:若a∥b,b∥c,则a∥c.则下列命题中真命题是()A.p∨q B.p∧q C.(非p)∧(非q) D.p∨(非q)[解析]5.A由向量数量积的几何意义可知,命题p为假命题;命题q中,当b≠0时,a,c一定共线,故命题q是真命题.故p∨q为真命题.5.[2014·新课标全国卷Ⅱ]3.函数f(x)在x=x0处导数存在.若p:f′(x0)=0,q:x=x0是f(x)的极值点,则()A.p是q的充分必要条件B.p是q的充分条件,但不是q的必要条件C.p是q的必要条件,但不是q的充分条件D.p既不是q的充分条件,也不是q的必要条件[解析]3.C函数在x=x0处有导数且导数为0,x=x0未必是函数的极值点,还要看函数在这一点左右两边的导数的符号,若符号一致,则不是极值点;反之,若x=x0为函数的极值点,则函数在x=x0处的导数一定为0 ,所以p是q的必要不充分条件.6.[2014·山东卷] 4.用反证法证明命题“设a,b为实数,则方程x2+ax+b=0至少有一个实根”时,要做的假设是()A.方程x2+ax+b=0没有实根B.方程x2+ax+b=0至多有一个实根C.方程x2+ax+b=0至多有两个实根D.方程x2+ax+b=0恰好有两个实根[解析] 4.A方程“x2+ax+b=0至少有一个实根”等价于“方程x2+ax+b=0有一个实根或两个实根”,所以该命题的否定是“方程x2+ax+b=0没有实根”.故选A.7.[2014·陕西卷] 8.原命题为“若a n +a n +12<a n ,n ∈N +,则{a n }为递减数列”,关于其逆命题,否命题,逆否命题真假性的判断依次如下,正确的是( )A .真,真,真B .假,假,真C .真,真,假D .假,假,假[解析] 8.A 由a n +a n +12<a n ,得a n +1<a n ,所以数列{a n }为递减数列,故原命题是真命题,其逆否命题为真命题.易知原命题的逆命题为真命题,所以其否命题也为真命题.8.[2014·四川卷]. 以A 表示值域为R 的函数组成的集合,B 表示具有如下性质的函数φ(x )组成的集合:对于函数φ(x ),存在一个正数M ,使得函数φ(x )的值域包含于区间[-M ,M ].例如,当φ1(x )=x 3,φ2(x )=sin x 时,φ1(x )∈A ,φ2(x )∈B .现有如下命题:①设函数f (x )的定义域为D ,则“f (x )∈A ”的充要条件是“∀b ∈R ,∃a ∈D ,f (a )=b ”; ②若函数f (x )∈B ,则f (x )有最大值和最小值;③若函数f (x ),g (x )的定义域相同,且f (x )∈A ,g (x )∈B ,则f (x )+g (x )∈/B ;④若函数f (x )=a ln(x +2)+x x 2+1(x >-2,a ∈R )有最大值,则f (x )∈B . 其中的真命题有________.(写出所有真命题的序号)[解析] 15.①③④ 若f (x )∈A ,则函数f (x )的值域为R ,于是,对任意的b ∈R ,一定存在a ∈D ,使得f (a )=b ,故①正确.取函数f (x )=x (-1<x <1),其值域为(-1,1),于是,存在M =1,使得函数f (x )的值域包含于[-M ,M ]=[-1,1],但此时函数f (x )没有最大值和最小值,故②错误.当f (x )∈A 时,由①可知,对任意的b ∈R ,存在a ∈D ,使得f (a )=b ,所以,当g (x )∈B 时,对于函数f (x )+g (x ),如果存在一个正数M ,使得f (x )+g (x )的值域包含于[-M ,M ],那么对于该区间外的某一个b 0∈R ,一定存在一个a 0∈D ,使得f (x )+f (a 0)=b 0-g (a 0),即f (a 0)+g (a 0)=b 0∉[-M ,M ],故③正确.对于f (x )=a ln(x +2)+x x 2+1(x >-2),当a >0或a <0时,函数f (x )都没有最大值.要使得函数f (x )有最大值,只有a =0,此时f (x )=x x 2+1(x >-2).易知f (x )∈⎣⎡⎦⎤-12,12,所以存在正数M =12,使得f (x )∈[-M ,M ],故④正确9.[2014·浙江卷] 设四边形ABCD 的两条对角线为AC ,BD ,则“四边形ABCD 为菱形”是“AC ⊥BD ”的( )A .充分不必要条件B .必要不充分条件C .充分必要条件D .既不充分也不必要条件[解析] 2.A 若四边形ABCD 为菱形,则AC ⊥BD ;反之,若AC ⊥BD ,则四边形ABCD 不一定为平行四边形.故“四边形ABCD 为菱形”是“AC ⊥BD ”的充分不必要条件.故选A.10.[2014·重庆卷] 已知命题p :对任意x ∈R ,总有|x |≥0,q :x =1是方程x +2=0的根.则下列命题为真命题的是( )A .p ∧非qB .非p ∧qC .非p ∧非 qD .p ∧q[解析]6.A 由题意知 p 为真命题,q 为假命题,则綈q 为真命题,所以p ∧綈q 为真命题.(二) 基本逻辑联结词及量词11.[2014·安徽卷] 2.命题“∀x ∈R ,|x |+x 2≥0”的否.定是( ) A .∀x ∈R ,|x |+x 2<0 B .∀x ∈R ,|x |+x 2≤0C.∃x0∈R,|x0|+x20<0 D.∃x0∈R,|x0|+x20≥0[解析] .C易知该命题的否定为“∃x0∈R,|x0|+x20<0”.12.[2014·福建卷]5.命题“∀x∈[0,+∞),x3+x≥0”的否定是()A.∀x∈(-∞,0),x3+x<0 B.∀x∈(-∞,0),x3+x≥0C.∃x0∈[0,+∞),x30+x0<0 D.∃x0∈[0,+∞),x30+x0≥0[解析] 5.C “∀x∈[0,+∞),x3+x≥0”是含有全称量词的命题,其否定是“∃x0∈[0,+∞),x30+x0<0”,故选C.13.[2014·湖北卷] 命题“∀x∈R,x2≠x”的否定是()A.∀x∈/R,x2≠x B.∀x∈R,x2=x C.∃x0∈/R,x20≠x0D.∃x0∈R,x20=x0[解析]3.D特称命题的否定方法是先改变量词,然后否定结论,故命题“∀x∈R,x2≠x”的否定是“∃x0∈R,x20=x0”. 故选D.14.[2014·湖南卷] 设命题p:∀x∈R,x2+1>0,则非p为()A.∃x0∈R,x20+1>0 B.∃x0∈R,x20+1≤0C.∃x0∈R,x20+1<0 D.∀x∈R,x2+1≤01.B[解析] 由全称命题的否定形式可得綈p:∃x0∈R,x20+1≤0.15.[2014·天津卷] 已知命题p:∀x>0,总有(x+1)e x>1,则綈p为()A.∃x0≤0,使得(x0+1)e x0≤1 B. ∃x0>0,使得(x0+1)e x0≤1C. ∀x>0,总有(x+1)e x≤1D. ∀x≤0,总有(x+1)e x≤1[解析] 3B.含量词的命题的否定,先改变量词的形式,再对命题的结论进行。

What can be concluded about BMF employees?A. They have a great passion for sports.B. They are devoted to community service.C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.D. They have a strong environmental awareness.31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. BMF’s major strengths.B. BMF’s general management.C. BMF’s global influence.D. BMF’s technical standards.DGiven the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution(变革).In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码)that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.32. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. If read by someone poorly educated.B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.C. If written by someone less competent.D. If translated by someone unacademic.33. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A. It is packed with complex codes.B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.C. It provides step-by-step instructions.D. It is intended for AI professionals.34. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?A. Observe existing regulations on it.B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To recommend a book on AI.B. To give a brief account of AI history.C. To clarify the definition of AI.D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Kilbrannish ForestThis informative walk led by Richard Smyth introduces you to the basic principles of photography in the wild.Bring along your camera and enjoy the wonderful views along this well-surfaced forest path.Date and Time:Sunday,2nd October,at11:45Start Point:Kilbrannish Forest Recreation AreaWalk Duration:1.5hours21.Which walk takes the shortest time?A.The Natural World.B.Introduction to Hillwalking.C.Moonlight Under the Stars.D.Photographic Walk in Kilbrannish Forest.22.What are participants in Walk3required to do?A.Wear proper clothes.B.Join a walking club.C.Get special permits.D.Bring a survival guide.23.What do the four walks have in common?A.They involve difficult climbing.B.They are for experienced walkers.C.They share the same start point.D.They are scheduled for the weekend.BDo you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read?Yes,we all have our phones,but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.Well,there’s a kiosk(小亭)for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area,at least.“You enter the fare gates(检票口)and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute,a three-minute,or a five-minute story,”says Alicia Trost,the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART.“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”It’s that simple.Riders have printed nearly20,000short stories and poems since the program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories,and some are new original works.Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,”Trost says.“And as of right now,we’ve received about120submissions.The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”Ridership on transit(交通)systems across the country has been down the past half century,so could short stories save transit?Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,”she says.And you’ll never be without something to read.24.Why did BART start the kiosk program?A.To promote the local culture.B.To discourage phone use.C.To meet passengers’needs.D.To reduce its running costs.25.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?A.By popularity.B.By length.C.By theme.D.By language.26.What has Trost been doing recently?anizing a story contest.B.Doing a survey of customers.C.Choosing a print publisher.D.Conducting interviews with artists.27.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?A.It will close down.B.Its profits will decline.C.It will expand nationwide.D.Its ridership will increase.CWe all know fresh is best when it comes to food.However,most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table.While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey,Babylon Micro-Farm(BMF)shortens it even more.BMF is an indoor garden system.It can be set up for a family.Additionally,it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital,restaurant or school.The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.Specifically,it’s a farm that relies on new technology.By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored.Also,there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time.Because the system is automated,it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants.Rather than watering rows of soil,the system provides just the right amount to each plant.After harvest,users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod(容器)to get the next growth cycle started.Moreover,having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions(排放)from transporting plants from soil to salad.In addition,there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives.About half of them walk or bike to work.Inside the office,they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic.“We are passionate about reducing waste,carbon and chemicals in our environment,”said a BMF employee.28.What can be learned about BMF from paragraph1?A.It guarantees the variety of food.B.It requires day-to-day care.C.It cuts the farm-to-table distance.D.It relies on farmer’s markets.29.What information does the convenient app offer?A.Real-time weather changes.B.Current condition of the plants.C.Chemical pollutants in the soil.D.Availability of pre-seeded pods.30.What can be concluded about BMF employees?A.They have a great passion for sports.B.They are devoted to community service.C.They are fond of sharing daily experiences.D.They have a strong environmental awareness.31.What does the text mainly talk about?A.BMF’s major strengths.B.BMF’s general management.C.BMF’s global influence.D.BMF’s technical standards.DGiven the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives,we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future,and this is where AI by Design:A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution(变革).In the wrong hands,such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码)that powers AI but,thankfully,Campbell has more than two decades’professional experience translating the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic,making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which,by the close,will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design,AI is already super-smart and will become more capable,moving from the current generation of“narrow-AI”to Artificial General Intelligence.From there,Campbell says,will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence,or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a“tipping point”in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out.Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation,will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all,and if you only read one book on the subject,this is it.32.What does the phrase“In the wrong hands”in paragraph2probably mean?A.If read by someone poorly educated.B.If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.C.If written by someone less competent.D.If translated by someone unacademic.33.What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A.It is packed with complex codes.B.It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.C.It provides step-by-step instructions.D.It is intended for AI professionals.34.What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?A.Observe existing regulations on it.B.Reconsider expert opinions about it.C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D.Learn from prior experience to slow it down.35.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To recommend a book on AI.B.To give a brief account of AI history.C.To clarify the definition of AI.D.To honor an outstanding AI expert.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2014·重庆卷一、单项填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)请从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. [2014·重庆卷] A smile costs ________,but gives much.A. anythingB. somethingC. nothingD. everything1.C考查代词的用法。
句意:微笑什么都不会花费,但却带来很多。
but表示转折,nothing与much形成语义上的对比。
故选C。
2. [2014·重庆卷] —Why not stay here a little longer?—________,but I really have to go.A. Never mindB. I'd love toC. Pleased to meet youD. I can't find any reason2.B考查情景交际。
I'd love to…或I'd like to…是一种委婉的推辞,答语意思是“我本来想留下来,但我不得不离开”。
never mind意为“不要紧,没关系,别紧张”,常用来安慰他人;pleased to meet you用于见面开始时的寒暄;而I can't find any reason则是不礼貌的表达。
3. [2014·重庆卷] I've ordered some pizza, so we ________ worry about cooking when we get home tired.A. can'tB. dare notC. needn'tD. may not3.C考查情态动词的用法。
句意:我已经订了披萨,因此当我们很累地回到家时没有必要担心做饭的事情。
need表示必要性;can多表能力或推测;dare表示胆量;may则表示准许或可能。
4. [2014·重庆卷] You'd better write down her phone number before you ________ it.A. forgetB. are forgettingC. forgotD. will forget4.A考查动词的时态。
在时间状语从句、条件状语从句和让步状语从句中,用一般现在时代替将来时。
故选A。
5. [2014·重庆卷] The producer comes regularly to collect the cameras ________ to our shop for quality problems.A. returningB. returnedC. to returnD. to be returned5.B考查非谓语动词的用法。
cameras 与return是动宾关系,因此用过去分词表示被动,过去分词在此作cameras的定语。
6. [2014·重庆卷] I can't tell you ________ way to the Wilsons' because we don't have ________ Wilson here in the village.A. the; aB. a; /C. a; theD. the; /6.A考查冠词的用法。
way后有to the Wilsons'这一后置定语修饰,表示特指,用定冠词。
姓氏前用不定冠词,表示一个叫这个名字的人,是泛指,此处意为“村子里没有一个叫Wilson的人”。
7. [2014·重庆卷] She drove so fast at the turn that the car almost went ________ the road.A. onB. alongC. fromD. off7.D考查介词的用法。
句意:她开车开得太快,以至于在拐弯处差点开下了公路。
此处off表示“离开,偏离”。
8. [2014·重庆卷] James has just arrived, but I didn't know he ________ until yesterday.A. will comeB. was comingC. had comeD. came8.B考查动词的时态。
该句中的didn't know与until连用决定了该空的时态是过去进行时,即“昨天才知道James要来”。
9. [2014·重庆卷] We'll reach the sales targets in a month ________ we set at the beginning of the year.A. whichB. whereC. whenD. what9.A考查定语从句的用法。
此处先行词targets被in a month所扰,考生容易错把month 当成先行词而误选C。
targets在定语从句中作set的宾语,所以关系词应用which或that。
故选A。
10.[2014·重庆卷] —I spent two weeks in London last summer.—Then you must have visited the British Museum during your stay, ________ you?A. mustn'tB. haven'tC. didn'tD. hadn't10.C考查特殊句型的用法。
在“…must have done…”这个表示对过去的推测的句型中,反义疑问句不可用must的任何形式,因为must用于表推测时仅能用于肯定句。
若语境中有明确地表示过去的时间状语,反义疑问句必须用过去时的否定式,若没有明确地表示过去的时间状语且强调现状则用完成时。
该题中上句有last summer,故选C。
11.[2014·重庆卷] Group activities will be organized after class ________ children develop team spirit.A. helpingB. having helpedC. helpedD. to help11.D考查非谓语动词的用法。
此题中动词不定式表示目的。
12. [2014·重庆卷] —Is it true that Mike refused an offer from Yale University yesterday?—Yeah, but I have no idea ________ he did it; that's one of his favourite universities.A. whenB. whyC. thatD. how12.B考查同位语从句的用法。
此题易误选C,但后句对Mike拒绝耶鲁大学的录取意愿感到意外,因为耶鲁大学是Mike最喜欢的大学之一,因此回答者对Mike放弃耶鲁大学感到不可思议。
若用that仅表示不知道此事,但事实上已经知道。
故选B。
13. [2014·重庆卷] It was John who broke the window. Why are you talking to me as if I ________ it?A. had doneB. have doneC. didD. am doing13.A考查虚拟语气的用法。
as if后的句子若表示与事实相反,须用虚拟语气。
根据前一句中谓语动词用一般过去时可知,as if后的句子表示的是与过去事实相反的假设,用过去完成时。
故选A。
14.[2014·重庆卷] Half an hour later, Lucy still couldn't get a taxi ________ the bus had dropped her.A. untilB. whenC. althoughD. where14.D考查地点状语从句的用法。
主句“Lucy couldn't get a taxi…”和从句“…the bus had dropped her.”均需要地点状语。
故选D。
15. [2014·重庆卷] —Jack, I'd like to have your opinions about my written report.—________. But I have one suggestion.A. That's a good ideaB. You are too modestC. It looks fine to meD. You should check it first15.C 考查情景交际。
That's a good idea.一般用于对他人的建议的肯定;You are too modest.是明显的汉式英语表达;You should check it first.是建议,但不应该在没有提议前说出;It looks fine to me.是对该报告的肯定,在肯定之后提出建议,符合语境。
二、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)请阅读下面两篇短文,掌握大意,然后从16~35各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
