Scientists have developed a way to read minds，translating unspoken thoughts into written words.It's the first time it's been done without having to put anything into the brain.They used artificial intelligence （AI）（人工智能）. It is the name given to a computer system that is able to "think" for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence. Scientists used a special scanner（扫描器）.The machine can see where blood runs，which shows the parts of the brain that are most active.People taking part in the experiment（实验） listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned.The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard.After that，each person was asked to think of a story，and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened. The results had about a 50% accuracy rate（准确率），although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns，such as he or she，her or him.For example，it turned"I don't have my driver's license yet"into"She has not even started to learn to drive yet." It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words.The AI was personalized，so when it had learnt from one person but it was tested on another，it couldn't understand their thoughts. The scientists，who have been working on the technology for 15 years，say they understand the risks of it being used badly.Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper， "We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to，and that it helps them." The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions，who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak，to communicate once again.（1）What does the underlined word"It" in paragraph 1 refer to（指代）？ ____ A. way.B.Anything.C.The brain.D.AI.（2）What is the main purpose of paragraph 2？ ____ A.To describe the process of the experiment.B.To explain the results of the experiment.C.To offer some opinions about the experiment.D.To list the difficulties with the experiment.（3）What does the example in paragraph 3 show？ ____ A.The AI is much cleverer than people.B.The AI didn't start the work as it was ordered.C.The AI couldn't understand the exact words of what people thought.D.The AI will be well developed according to people's special needs.（4）What can we learn from the text？ ____ A.It is not difficult to take AI under control.B.AI will not be used in a proper way in the future.C.AI is so wise that it can treat people with medical problems.D.It's expected that AI will help those speechless exchange ideas.（5）What can be the best title for the text？ ____ A.High Risks of Using AIB.Mind-Reading DevelopmentC.Importance of Human BrainD.Ways of Improving Technology

题目解答
答案
（1）代词指代题。根据第一段They used artificial intelligence （AI）（人工智能）. It is the name given to a computer system that is able to "think" for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.（他们使用人工智能（AI）。人工智能是一种计算机系统的名称，它能够自己"思考"，并执行通常需要人类智能才能完成的任务。）可知此处It指代的是人工智能，故选D。
（2）段落大意题。根据第二段People taking part in the experiment（实验） listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned.The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard.After that，each person was asked to think of a story，and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened.（参加实验的人听了16个小时的收音机，他们的大脑被扫描。这个人工智能工具学会了将某些大脑活动与他们听到的单词联系起来。在那之后，每个人都被要求思考一个故事，人工智能工具设法在这些想法发生时收集这些想法。）可推知第二段主要描述了实验的过程，故选A。
（3）推理判断题。根据第三段For example，it turned"I don't have my driver's license yet"into"She has not even started to learn to drive yet." It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words.The AI was personalized，so when it had learnt from one person but it was tested on another，it couldn't understand their thoughts.（例如，它把"我还没有驾照"变成了"她甚至还没有开始学开车。"它通常能理解人们在想什么，而不是确切的话语。人工智能是个性化的，所以当它从一个人那里学习，但在另一个人身上进行测试时，它无法理解他们的想法。）可知第三段的例子能够说明人工智能无法准确理解人们的想法，故选C。
（4）细节理解题。根据最后一段The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions，who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak，to communicate once again.（科学家们希望它能帮助那些患有某些疾病的人，那些仍然清醒但失去了说话能力的人，再次与人交流。）可知预计人工智能将帮助那些失去说话能力的人再次与人交流，故选D。
（5）标题归纳题。根据第一段Scientists have developed a way to read minds，translating unspoken thoughts into written words.It's the first time it's been done without having to put anything into the brain.They used artificial intelligence （AI）（人工智能）. It is the name given to a computer system that is able to "think" for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.（科学家已经开发出一种读取思维的方法，将未说出口的想法转化为书面文字。这是第一次不用往大脑里植入任何东西就能完成。他们使用人工智能（AI）。人工智能是一种计算机系统的名称，它能够自己"思考"，并执行通常需要人类智能才能完成的任务。）结合下文，可知本文主要介绍了科学家使用人工智能读取思维的方法，可知本文标题应为"读取思维的发展"，故选B。
