If you go out and ask any mother or father out there, I guarantee theyll say the same thing: All children break their parents hearts. Its just what children do.

In your teen years, you came home from parties and vomited red wine all over my already-dirty carpets. There was a time you experimented with drugs and all

33、的) psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the worlds most complex learning system-the mind of a baby. Babies might seem like no match for artificial intelligence (AI). They are terrible at labeling images, hopeless at mining text, and awful at video games. Then again, babies can do th

34、ings beyond the reach of any AI. By just a few months old, theyve begun to grasp the foundations of language, such as grammar. Theyve started to understand how to adapt to unfamiliar situations.Yet even experts like Spelke dont understand precisely how babies-or adults, for that matter-learn. That g

35、ap points to a puzzle at the heart of modern artificial intelligence: Were not sure what to aim for.Consider one of the most impressive examples of AI, Alpha Zero, a programme that plays board games with superhuman skill. After playing thousands of games against itself at a super speed, and learning

36、 from winning positions, Alpha Zero independently discovered several famous chess strategies and even invented new ones. It certainly seems like a machine eclipsing human cognitive abilities. But Alpha Zero needs to play millions more games than a person during practice to learn a game. Most importa

37、ntly, it cannot take what it has learned from the game and apply it to another area.To some AI experts, that calls for a new approach. In a November research paper, Francois Chollet, a well-known AI engineer, argued that its misguided to measure machine intelligence just according to its skills at s

38、pecific tasks. Humans dont start out with skills; they start out with a broad ability to acquire new skills, he says. What a strong human chess player is demonstrating is not only the ability to play chess, but the potential to fulfill any task of a similar difficulty. Chollet posed a set of problem

39、s, each of which requires an AI programme to arrange colored squares on a grid (格栅) based on just a few prior examples. Its not hard for a person. But modern machine- learning programmes-trained on huge amounts of data-cannot learn from so few examples.Josh Tenenbaum, a professor in MITs Center for

40、Brains, Minds & Machines, works closely with Spelke and uses insights from cognitive science as inspiration for his programmes. He says much of modern AI misses the bigger picture, comparing it to a cartoon about a two-dimensional world populated by simple geometrical(几何形的) people. AI programmes wil

41、l need to learn in new ways-for example, by drawing causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. At some point-you know, if youre intelligent-you realize maybe theres something else out there, he says.（ ）27. Compared to an advanced AI programme, a baby might be better at _.A. labeling imag

42、es B. identifying locationsC. playing games D. making adjustments（ ）28. What does the underlined word eclipsing in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Stimulating. B. Measuring.C. Beating. D. Limiting.（ ）29. Both Francois Chollet and Josh Tenenbaum may agree that _.A. AI is good at finding similar patterns

43、B. AI should gain abilities with less trainingC. AI lacks the ability of generalizing a skillD. AI will match humans in cognitive ability（ ）30. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. What is exactly intelligence?B. Why is modern AI advanced?C. Where is human intelligence going?D. How do h

44、umans tackle the challenge of AI?DIn college, I was taught an elegant theory of chemical combination based on excess electrons going into holes in the orbital shell of a neighbouring atom. But what about diatomic compounds like oxygen gas? Dont ask; students arent ready to know. In physics, in biolo

45、gy, in any other science classes, students frequently get that answer too. Its time to trust students to handle doubt and diversity in science. Actually, students are starting to act. They have shamed their seniors into including more diverse contributors as faculty members and role models. Young sc

46、holars rudely ask their superiors why they fail to address the extinction crises clarified by their research. The inherited authoritarian political structures of science education are becoming lame-but still remain largely unchanged from the old school days.A narrow, rigid education does not prepare

47、 anyone for the complexities of scientific research, applications and policy. If we discourage students from inquiring into the real nature of scientific truths, or exploring how society shapes the questions that researchers ask, how can we prepare them to maintain public trust in science in our pos

48、t-truth world? Diversity and doubt produce creativity; we must make room for them, and stop guiding future scientists into narrow specialties that value technique over thought.In science, even foundational building blocks can be questioned. The unifying patterns of the periodic table are now questio

49、ned under closer examination. Some scientists now wonder whether the concept of biological species contributes more confusion than insight, and whether it should therefore be abandoned. However, such a decision would affect conservation policy, in which identification of endangered species is crucia

50、l-so it is not just an issue for basic science.Science students generally remain unaware that concepts such as elements and species are contested or are even contestable. In school, college and beyond, curricula highlight the technical and hide the reflective. Public arguments among scientists often

51、 presume that every problem has just one solution.Nonetheless, uncertain advice on complex issues should be a warning that, from a future perspective, todays total scientific consensus on some policy issue might have been the result of stubbornness, a conflict of interest or worse. Just as a healthy

52、 democracy accommodates dissent and dissonance, the collective consciousness of science would do well to embrace doubt and diversity. This could start with teaching science as a great, flawed, ongoing human achievement, rather than as a collection of cut-and-dried eternal (永久的) truths.I recall a leg

53、endary chemistry professor who was not skillful at getting classroom demonstrations to work-but discussing what went wrong helped his students to thrive. A mathematician friend let pupils discuss every statement in the textbook until all were satisfied. They did very well in exams, and taught themse

One of the reasons is technical. Now everything

61、can be computer-produced. 37 However, filming a scene from 20 different cameras would cost a fortune, so it simply isnt done in the film version-leaving the gamers feeling that the film didnt look as real as the computer game. 38 In a film the director doesnt show you some things to keep you have th

62、e feeling of excitement or anxiety. For example, you wouldnt be interested in watching the film if you knew the identity of the murderer. But this is not true for computer games. When you play a game, you have to do certain tasks to continue to the new level. 39 You are always in control as a player

63、, while in the cinema you never control the action. You just sit and watch.There can be some interaction between films and computer games on different levels.

64、Cameras matter in another sense, too.B. The success of a game usually lies in the use of special effects.C. You cant influence what happens at all in the computer games.D. Computer games may show the action from a number of views easily.E. The game has a good chance of being as successful as the fil

66、s Need More ImaginationSuppose you need to drill a hole in the wall to hang an item but do not own a power drill. You may regard it as expensive to buy a power drill and consider renting one. Sharing is the solution. The sharing industry is an emerging, highly flexible economic network that allows p

67、eople to share resources, either free or for a fee.The important idea of the sharing industry is that people might only need an item for a relatively short period. The private part of shared services has been moving towards this area since the beginning of the 1980s, and then the public part has tak

68、en note of the benefits and continued for best practice. The United States and Australia among others have had shared services in government since the late 1990s.With the rise of the sharing industry, the best-known shared bikes and shared cars have got a lot of public attention. This kind of transp

69、ortation is so environmentally-friendly that it is increasingly popular among people in many cities.Of course shared services dont need to be limited to machines. The real pay-off in shared services probably lies in renting out smaller, less heavy items. For example, in todays casual environment, yo

70、u dont need a tie unless youre going to a wedding or a job interview. So some companies would let you pick up a tie when you needed it and only when you needed it. Another example is an umbrella-sharing service. Since visitors dont want to be carrying umbrellas all the way, it would be cheaper and e

77、pansion to wider areas because they are currently restricted to machines.43. Sharing books is a good type of shared services.
