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.”可知,坎贝尔是一位有着二十多年专业经验的作家,撰写的这本书是通俗易懂的,故推测前面想表达的是如果由能力较差的人写的话,这本书会像驱动AI的计算机代码一样复杂难懂。故选C。 2.B 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“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.”可知,坎贝尔从商业人士的实际角度而不是学者的角度出发,撰写了一本非常通俗易懂、内容丰富的指南,故推测它采用了务实的写作风格。down-to-earth意为“务实的,切合实际的”。故选B。 3.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.”和倒数第二段中“She explains we are at a ‘tipping point’ in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity.”可知,坎贝尔敦促人们共同努力控制AI。故选C。 4.A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Given 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 road map addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution.”和最后一段“AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.”可知,本文主要介绍了Catriona Campbell所著的AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence一书,该书作为应对AI革命挑战的实用指南,以商业视角阐述AI发展现状与前景,强调控制AI的重要性,呼吁各界协同确保AI安全发展,以防潜在危机,所以作者写这篇文章的目的是推荐一本关于AI的书。故选A。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由 Specht Architects设计的绿色生态住宅。 1.and 考查连词。both…and…意为“两者都……”,是固定用法。故填and。 2.which/that 考查定 ... ...
