4．For two centuries，the famous University of Cambridge debating society has hosted many prominent figures，from world leaders to scientists to comedians.
On Nov 21，the Cambridge Union hosted its first-ever non-human guest.Designed by IBM，Project Debater is a machine that uses Artificial Intelligence（AI）to form a spoken argument.It can even listen and answer to opposing statements，much like a real person.
Speaking with a voice similar to Siri，Project Debater uses AI to search journals，newspapers and other information sources.It then filters out（過濾）useless information，picks the strongest arguments，and arranges them into a persuasive argument.
In the Cambridge test debate，it argued the topic：AI will ultimately do more harm than good.According to IBM，it is the first machine that can debate complicated topics with humans.
Before the debate，more than 1，100 arguments for the positives and negatives of AI were submitted to the IBM website.The machine then analyzed these sources and formed the basis of its arguments in minutes.Project Debater then showed off its AI by arguing for both sides of the debate.
Over a four-minute speech，it argued first that，"AI can only make decisions that it has been programmed to solve，while humans can be programmed for all plots，possible events."
In support of AI，it then argued that AI would create new jobs and "bring a lot more efficiency" to the workplace.
This isn't the first test for Project Debater.In June 2018，the machine went back-and-forth for 20 minutes against champion debater Harish Natarajan.
According to NewScientist，on both occasions，Project Debater repeated points and didn't always sufficiently support them.
Speaking to CambridgeIndependent，Noam Slonim，the project's lead engineer，said，"The AI is not perfect，but it's going in the right direction." The team hopes to improve the AI by researching why humans find certain arguments more persuasive than others.
（1）In which way does Project Debater behave like a real person？
A．It can listen and answer to opposing statements.
B．It can speak with a voice similar to Siri.
C．It can create various useful sources.
D．It can deal with any situation.
（2）What were prepared for the machine before the Cambridge test debate？
A．Analyzed sources.
B．Useless messages.
C．Materials for arguments.
D．Items about human debaters.
（3）What can we infer from the text？
A．AI did better than humans in arguments.
B．AI had rich ideas to support its points.
C．AI beat Harish Natarajan in the first test.
D．AI needs more persuasive arguments in debates.
（4）What is Noam Slonim's attitude to the AI？
A．Supportive.
B．Unconfident.
C．Negative.
D．Indifferent.組卷：24引用：1難度：0.5

5．How to become a scientist Be curious.Scientists choose to become scientists because they are curious about the world around them and how the things in it work.This curiosity leads them to investigate the how and why behind what they see.
（1）.Becoming a scientist takes a long time.There are very few careers that take longer than this one.Even when you're doing with your education，you still have to get research under your belt.If you're an instant-gratification（即時滿足） type of person，this may not be the right career for you.
Be diligent and persevere.It's been said that jobs in science are the lowest paid in the US.What this is getting at is that because of the long path to success，for a while you won't be living lavishly（豐富地）.（2）.
Have the need to always keep learning.（3）Whether it's reading peer-reviewed journals，attending seminars，or working toward getting yourself published，you'll always be learning.
（4）.In those years of waiting for results，you need to constantly be looking for the smallest changes in what you expect to see.Your eye needs to be focused and ready at all times.
Think differently.Think back to Newton's apple falling on his head or Archimedes' jumping into his tub and displacing water.Most people would think nothing of these events，but these men saw something else，something no one else was seeing at the time.（5）.
A.Observation skills are also necessary.
B.Be patient in climbing the career ladder.
C.Things are going to be tough for a while.
D.Then you're probably made of the right stuff.
E.As the saying goes，"Where there is a will，there is a way."
F.Actually what every scientist does is seek out knowledge.
G.To make progress in human knowledge，you have to think differently.組卷：18引用：1難度：0.5
