【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文。文章主要討論了食品標(biāo)簽對消費者和生產(chǎn)者的影響。

【8題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段uNaturalclaimslikeuallnatural",“100%natural",and"madewithnatural

ingredients（成分）"arenotdefinedinUSDA.（像“全天然”、“100%天然”和“天然成分”這樣的天然說法在

美國農(nóng)業(yè)部沒有定義。）”可知，選項B"Allnatural（純天然的）”是權(quán)威機構(gòu)未定義的。故選B。

【9題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段uStudyafterstudyonthetopicrevealsthatpeoplethinkaproductlabeledas

“natural“deliversbenefitsfarbeyondwhatitdoes.Mostconsumersmistakenlyassignhealthandenvironmental

benefitstonatural-labeledfood.（關(guān)于這個話題的一項又一項研究表明，人們認(rèn)為標(biāo)有“天然”的產(chǎn)品所帶來

的好處遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過它的作用。大多數(shù)消費者錯誤地認(rèn)為天然食品對健康和環(huán)境有益。）”以及第四段“Ina2017

study,respondentsincorrectlybelievedthatnatural-labeledfoodshad18percentfewercaloriesacrossavarietyof

foods.（在2017年的一項研究中，受訪者錯誤地認(rèn)為,在各種食物中，天然標(biāo)簽食品的卡路里含量減少了18%。）”

可知，消費者可能會誤解食品標(biāo)簽上的內(nèi)容。故選D。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段“Ina2017study,respondentsincorrectlybelievedthatnatural-labeledfoodshad

18percentfewercaloriesacrossavarietyoffoods.Ina2010study,respondentsbelievedthatmeatproducts

labeledas“allnatural“meantnoantibioticsorhormoneswereusedtoraisetheanimals.Somealsobelievedthe

味著沒有使用抗生素或激素來飼養(yǎng)動物。一些人還認(rèn)為，這個標(biāo)簽意味著動物是在自由放養(yǎng)的。）”可推測，

第四段的兩項研究都是為了論證作者在第三段提到的觀點“Studyafterstudyonthetopicrevealsthatpeople

thinkaproductlabeledas“natural“deliversbenefitsfarbeyondwhatitdoes.Mostconsumersmistakenlyassign

healthandenvironmentalbenefitstonatural-labeledfood.（關(guān)于這個話題的一項又一項研究表明，人們認(rèn)為標(biāo)有

上是在做好事，比如圍繞有機實踐或動物福利的食品生產(chǎn)商。如果消費者把標(biāo)著“天然”的食品當(dāng)成一樣

可知，這一問題造成的更嚴(yán)重的問題是，這對那些實際上符合更嚴(yán)格標(biāo)簽標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的食品生產(chǎn)商處于競爭劣勢，

即不公平。故選D。

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了通用人工智能以及回形針最大化器的概念。

【12題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“ArtificialGeneralIntelligence(AGI)isabranchoftheoreticalartificial

intelligence(AI)researchworkingtodevelopAIwithahumanlevelofcognitive(認(rèn)知的)function,includingthe

abilitytoself-teach.（通用人工智能（AGI）是理論人工智能（AI）研究的一個分支，致力于開發(fā)具有人類認(rèn)知功能

（包括自學(xué)能力）的人工智能。）”可知，通用人工智能的特點是具有人類認(rèn)知功能。故選C。

【13題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞下一句"Itcanimproveitselfifitnoticesanyissuesoropportunitiestooperate

better.（如果它注意到任何問題或更好地操作的機會，它可以改進(jìn)自己。V可知，PM注意到問題或更好地操

作的機會的時候，它可以改進(jìn)自己。由此可知，它可以查看和“修改”自己的源代碼以改進(jìn)自己。選項

A“Download（下載）”；選項B“Delete（刪除）”；選項C“Change（改變）”；選項D“Store（儲存）”。故選

Co

【14題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Forexample,itcanmakeasmallsourcecodeimprovementtoitself.AsthePM

improves,itbecomesfarsuperiortoahumaninallskills,evenskillsremotelyrelevanttopaperclipmaximization.

Forinstance,itmaydeterminethatthebestcourseofactionistogaincontrolofAustralianpolitics,inordertoaccess

alltime,whichinturninvolvesavarietyofskillsthatatfirstseemunrelatedtopaperclip-making.(例如,它可以對

自己的源代碼做一個小的改進(jìn)。隨著PM的進(jìn)步，它在所有技能上都遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)優(yōu)于人類，甚至是與回形針最大化

相關(guān)的技能。例如，它可能認(rèn)為，最好的做法是控制澳大利亞的政治，以獲取該國豐富的鐵資源。為了做

到這一點，它可能會試圖調(diào)整自己成為有史以來最好的心理控制者，這反過來又涉及到各種各樣的技能，

這些技能乍一看似乎與制作回形針無關(guān)。）”可知，PM為了制作最大量的回形針有可能會采取意想不到的

行動。故選A。

【15題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要介紹了被稱為“回形針最大化器”的概念，這是一個假想的AGL

其唯一的目標(biāo)是在宇宙中最大化回形針的數(shù)量。因此，最適合本文的標(biāo)題是“回形針最大化器”。故選D。

【答案】16.A17.E18.F19.B20.G

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了極簡主義生活方式以及其對人們的影響。

【16題詳解】

根據(jù)空前“WhatifItoldyouthathavinglessstuffcouldmakeyouahappierperson?（如果我告訴你擁有更少的

東西可以讓你成為一個更快樂的人呢？）”以及空后的"That'sbecauseeverydaywereceivethousandsof

messagestothecontrary:buythis,andyou'llbeprettier;ownthis,andyou511bemoresuccessful;acquirethis,and

yourhappinesswillknownobounds（這是因為我們每天都會收到成千上萬條相反的信息:買這個，你會更漂亮；

擁有這一點，你會更成功；掌握了這一點，你的幸福就會無限。）”可知，空前空后存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。選項A“You

maythinklamcrazy.（你可能認(rèn)為我瘋了。）“承上啟下，承接上文內(nèi)容表明你可能不贊成這樣的想法，同時

引出下文內(nèi)容，指出不贊同這一想法的原因。故選A。

【17題詳解】

根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容“Sowemustbehappy,right?Formostofus,theansweris"no".（所以我們一定是快樂的，對嗎？

對我們大多數(shù)人來說，答案是否定的。）”可推斷，空處應(yīng)該指的是大眾認(rèn)為我們做了就會快樂的事情，也

就是第一段最后的內(nèi)容。選項E"Well,we'veboughtthis,that,andtheotherthing.（嗯，我們買了這個，那個，

還有那個。）”延續(xù)第一段最后的內(nèi)容，指的是我們聽從各種信息，購買了很多東西，但是我們真的就會快

樂嗎？由此因此下文內(nèi)容，指出買各種東西并不能讓我們快樂。故選E。

【18題詳解】

根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容“Doyoueverlookaroundyourhouse,atallthethingsyou'vegot,andfeeloverwhelmedinsteadof

overjoyed?Areyoustrugglingwithcreditcarddebt,andcanbarelyrecallthepurchasesonwhichyou'remaking

payments?Doyousecretlywishstrongwindwouldblowthemessoutofyourhome?（你是否曾經(jīng)環(huán)顧你的房子，

看到你擁有的所有東西，感到不知所措，而不是欣喜若狂？你是否在信用卡債務(wù)中掙扎，幾乎不記得你支

付過的購物？你是否暗自希望強風(fēng)能把你家里亂七八糟的東西吹走？）”可知，上文描述了過度購買之后所

陷入的困境。選項F"Ifso,thenaminimalistlifestylemaywellbeyourchoice.（如果是這樣，那么極簡主義的

生活方式很可能是你的選擇。）”延續(xù)上文內(nèi)容，指的是如果已經(jīng)意識到過度購買并不能讓自己開心，那么

可以選擇極簡主義的生活方式。故選F。

【19題詳解】

根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容“Butlookat“empty"fromanotherangle.Nowyouhave“space”.Spaceinourhomes,spaceinour

schedules,spacetothink,play,create,andhaveftinwithourfamilies...（但是從另一個角度來看“空"?，F(xiàn)在你有

了“空間”。我們家里的空間，我們?nèi)粘瘫砩系目臻g，思考、玩耍、創(chuàng)造和與家人玩樂的空間……）”可知，

上文講述的是極簡主義帶來的好處。選項B"Nowthat,sthebeautyofminimalism.（這就是極簡主義的美妙之

處。）”是上文內(nèi)容的總結(jié)，指出極簡主義的美妙。故選B
