easkedmeifIwantedtoputthecupsintoproduction.Itwouldmakemeseebeinganinventorwasarealthingandsomethingtobeproudof.’”可知,Joe是考虑周到的人。综上可知,Joe是个支持女儿想法且考虑周到的人。故选A项。27.C主旨大意题。结合文章讲述的Lily的故事,我们能领悟到“好的想法和行动会带来成功”。故选C项。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了像Grammarly这样的人工智能系统在核查语法时会碰到的问题,解释了人工智能比人类更聪明的原因以及人工智能在语言方面比人类逊色的地方。28.B主旨大意题。通读文章可知,文章的主要内容是人工智能系统在核查语法时会碰到的问题。故选B项。29.A细节理解题。根据第二段中“Artificial-intelligencesystemslikeGrammarlyaretrainedwithdata.”以及第三段中“Computersoutsmarthumansatproblemsthatcanbesolvedwithpuremaths,suchaschess.”可知,计算机在国际象棋方面比人类更聪明是因为它们接受了数据训练。故选A项。30.C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Computerscananalyzegrammaticalsentencesfairlywell,labelingthingslikenounsandverbphrases.”可知,计算机可以很好地分析语法句子,给名词和动词短语等标注。故选C项。31.A推理判断题。根据第一段中“Doesitachievewhatitclaimsto?Maybenot.”以及最后一段中“Butcomputersdon’tworkinmeaningorintention.Theyworkinformulae.Humans,bycontrast,canusuallyunderstandevenratherdamagedsyntax,becauseoftheabilitytoguessthecontentsofotherminds.Grammar-checkingcomputersfocusonnothowbadhumansarewithlanguage,butjusthowgood.”可知,作者对语法检查计算机持怀疑态度。故选A项。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。科学家发现,使用虚拟现实(VR)耳机可以让人沉浸在冰冷的北极景色中,从而降低对疼痛的敏感度。32.A推理判断题。根据第二段可知,VR可能会导致人体自身内置的止痛系统开始工作,由此可推知VR是通过让止痛系统发挥作用来帮助长期疼痛患者。故选A项。33
