 　　2017考研英语复习：阅读出题热点之人工智能

　　每年考研英语阅读题都会出一些热点新闻类的内容，而今年比较热的莫过于人工智能了，并且这个热点很多媒体都推出了专刊，进行一系列的报道，文都考研名师何凯文老师也注意到这一点，特别梳理了两家媒体的报道，一起看看吧，抓住热点，拿下阅读理解，胜算也大大增加了。

　　第一家：

　　After many false dawns, AI has made extraordinary progress in the past few years, thanks to a versatile technique called “deep learning”. Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and others wonder whether AI could get out of control, precipitating a sci-fi conflict between people and machines. Others worry that AI will cause widespread unemployment, by automat- ing cognitive tasks that could previously be done only by people.

　　第二家：

　　After many false starts, artificial intelligence has taken off. Will it cause mass unemployment or even destroy mankind? History can provide some helpful clues, says Tom Standage.

　　同学们可以发现这里的

　　dawn=start;

　　has taken off=has made extraordinary progress;

　　widespread unemployment=mass unemployment

　　a sci-fi conflict between people and machines=destroy mankind

　　语言不一样，但是内容就是人们在担心人工智能会不会带来失业问题和安全问题。

　　早在15年前考研英语就涉及到人工智能话题了，可见人工智能的话题可谓是不曾间断，备战2017考研英语复习的考生一定要重视这方面的信息，这是阅读理解出题的热点。
