IELTS阅读C16-Test 4

7.5分！

passage 1

看图填空题+判断正误题+填空回答问句题，答题顺序对应文章顺序

最开始看到这道题有点被唬住觉得做不出来

第五题其实在图中已经出现了rod，所以要读那句意思：Romans hung a plumb line from a rod placed across the top of each shaft and made sure that the weight at the end of it hung in the center of the shaft.所以应该填weight

passage 2

顺序选择题+填空选择题+判断正误题

对应原文： As MIT scholar Sherry Turkle has written, we do not err as a society when we innovate but when we ignore what we disrupt or diminish while innovating.。正如麻省理工学院学者雪莉·特克尔 (Sherry Turkle) 所写，从社会层面讲创新是没有错的，但是，当我们创新时忽略了我们所破坏和轻视的，就是犯错。

这里第19题选错是因为不知道thorough的意思是全面的，对应原文：psychologist Anne Mangen and her colleagues studied how high school students comprehend the same material in different mediums.
选择填空题尤其要注意同义替换，首先要确保读得懂选项单词

对应最后两段内容。
24Some age groups are more likely to lose their complex reading skills than others.对应原文： Nor is it only about the young. The subtle atrophy of critical analysis and empathy affects us all equally.我只看到前一句没看到后一句，所以选择错了。

passage 3

最难的passage3只留了不到22分钟左右，所以特别急。
heading题+顺序选择题+判断正误题

这道题我根本就选不出来，加上时间紧急，所以做的很差。
文本是相对好读的，但是选项是选不出来的。。。
heading题重点还是要读懂题干，至少反复读两次。
来理解一下这些选项吧：

Ⅰ. An increasing divergence of attitudes towards Al 对AI的态度分歧越来越大
Ⅱ. Reasons why we have more faith in human judgement than in Al 我们为何比信任人工智能更信任人类的判断
Ⅲ. The superiority of Al projections over those made by humans AI的预测优于人类的预测
Ⅳ. The process by which Al can help us make good decisions 人工智能如何帮助我们做出正确决策
Ⅴ. The advantages of involving users in Al processes 让用户参与人工智能过程的好处
Ⅵ. Widespread distrust of an Al innovation 对一个AI创新的普遍不信任
Ⅶ. Encouraging openness about how Al functions 鼓励AI功能的开放性
Ⅷ. A surprisingly successful Al application 一个意外成功的人工智能应用

第27题：
文章A部分第一小段提到，AI已经可以预测未来，并提到各行各业对AI这项能力的运用；第二小段提到，AI总是比我们更擅长预测。 因此答案为iii。Ⅲ. The superiority of Al projections over those made by humans AI的预测优于人类的预测，题干中projection有预测的意思，是predict和forecast同义词。

第28题：
28、由A部分第3段可知人们一开始就不愿意相信人工智能，由B部分第1段可知该部分都在用Watson for Oncology来说明为什么人们不相信，distrust对应reluctant to trust，an AI innovation对应Watson for Oncology，故vi。
对应原文：A部分第3段：why people are so reluctant to trust AI in the first place.
B部分第1段：Take the case of Watson for Oncology, one of technology giant IBM’s supercomputer programs.

34题：AI’s decision-making process is usually too difficult for most people to comprehend. And interacting with something we don’t understand can cause anxiety and give us a sense that we’ re losing control.

对应原文： Optimists became more extreme in their enthusiasm for AI and sceptics became even more guarded.所以加剧了这种分化，但是没有改变态度
