Have you ever shouted at your computer because it wasn’t working Of course, your computer can’t
“shout” back, but AI researchers have been working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates
(辩论) with humans.
IBM scientists recently published a paper in Nature about their new AI system—Project Debater. It can
debate with people before a live audience (观众 ). After listening to arguments from its opponent (对手 ), the
system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. And then it looks for ideas that can
support its own argument.
Testing on the system began in 2019, when it debated with Harish Natarajan, a debater who holds the world
record for the most debate competition victories. The topic was about subsidizing (资助) preschool—and Project
Debater argued to support this idea. Although Project Debater lost the debate in the end, the audience said it
performed very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge
about the topic—only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan.
However, to win a debate is never the researchers’ goal. Their goal is to help humans make better decisions,
according to Ranit Aharanoy, manager of the Project Debater team. “It can debate both sides, so it can very
quickly help you understand both sides of a problem, thus you can have a wider view of the problem and make a
more thoughtful decision.” Aharanoy said.
6．How does Project Debater work
①It forms ideas that can support its own argument.
②It listens to its opponent’s arguments.
③It searches online articles.
④It debates with its opponent.
A．②③④① B．②③①④ C．④②③① D．④②①③
7．In the debate with Harish Natarajan, Project Debater ________.
A．often argued against itself
B．won the debate in the end
C．set a world debating record
D．argued to support subsidizing preschool
8．What did the audience think of the debate
A．20% thought Project Debater wouldn’t win the debate.
B．More didn’t believe Project Debater for its failure.
C．Over 50% said Project Debater increased their knowledge.
D．58% thought Natarajan performed better.
9．With Project Debater, we might ________.
A．make better decisions B．never make mistakes
C．do best in a debating competition D．always have better arguments
10．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Nature is one of IBM scientists.
B．Project Debater is about five years old.
C．Natarajan has been working for IBM since 2019.
D．Project Debater is already widely used.
C
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to
use it were the Chinese, as early as the 11th century BC．
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange
thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the
umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common used
in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the
rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared.
Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power. Umbrellas
have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t
until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.

A British company has developed a new product to help us save money. The product is a wristband (腕带)
that gives us an electric shock if we spend too much money.
The wristband is called Pavlok. 16 . It knows how much money we have in the bank. If we go
shopping and there is not enough money in our bank account, the wristband will deliver a 255-volt electric shock
to our wrist. 17 . The company is called Intelligent Environments. It wants to work with banks to help
customers with their money. So far, no banks in Britain have said they would offer the Pavlok to their customers.
18 .
The Pavlok wristband is part of the Internet of Things. 19 . The CEO of Intelligent Environments,
David Webber, said people like the idea of the Pavlok. Shoppers would rather get a small electric shock in the
store from the wristband than get a big shock later when they see their credit card’s bills. Mr. Webber said the
Pavlok would be great for people who couldn’t stop spending because they had no willpower (意志力) or their
willpower was weak. 20 . This is when people stick their heads in the sand and buy things rather than
look at how much money they have in their bank.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A．This warns us not to overspend
B．They could start doing this in the future
