Question

Go, known as Weiqi in China and Baduk in South Korea, was viewed as the last game where humans can defeat machines. Lee Se-dol, one of the greatest Go players, has won 18 world championships for 21 years of his professional career. AlphaGo, a computer program developed by Google's DeepMind, beat the European Go champion, an achievement that was not expected for years in October, 2015.

The match between Lee and AlphaGo was seen as a representative game between humans and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The match of the century drew great attention from news organizations, Go fans and the general public across the world as well as in South Korea.

Go originated from China more than 2,500 years ago. It involves two players who take turns putting markers on a net-shaped board to gain more areas on it. One can occupy the markers of the rival (对手) by surrounding the pieces of the other. Go is considered to be a lot more complex than chess where artificial intelligence scored its most famous victory to date when IBM’s Deep Blue beat grandmaster Gary Kasparov in 1997.

But experts say Go presents an entirely different challenge because of the game’s incomputable number of move options. In other words, the computer must be capable of human-like "intuition" (直觉) to win.

"I was very surprised because I did not think that I would lose the game," said Mr. Lee. He said AlphaGo’s early strategy was “excellent” and that he was shocked by one unconventional move it had made that a human never would have played, which he believed directly resulted in his loss.

AlphaGo is proud of a deep learning capability to learn for itself and discover new strategies by playing games against itself and adjusting neural networks (神经网络) based on a trial-and-error process known as reinforcement (强化) learning.

In spite of his loss, he did not regret accepting the challenge. "I had a lot of fun playing Go and I’m looking forward to the future games,” he said after AlphaGo won 3-0 in a five-game match.

“Playing against a machine is very different from an actual human player. Normally, you can sense your rival’s breathing, their energy. And lots of times you make decisions which depend on the physical reactions of the person you’re playing against. With a machine, you can’t do that”, Lee said.

【解析】

试题分析：文章讲述了谷歌旗下英国公司DeepMind 开发的AlphaGO 计算机程序，在与世界顶尖天才棋手李世石的对决中，取得完胜，讲述了人与机器的对决。

1.B 文章来源题。文章讲述的是AlphaGO 计算机程序，在与世界顶尖天才棋手李世石的对决，是科技与人类的较量，应该来源于科学杂志，不是科学小说或旅游指南，故选B。

2.D 判断正误题。根据The match of the century drew great attention from news organizations, Go fans and the general public across the world as well as in South Korea.这场世纪之战吸引了各方注意力，而非仅仅是韩国民众，故A错，根据Go is considered to be a lot more complex than chess where artificial intelligence scored its most famous victory to date when IBM’s Deep Blue beat grandmaster Gary Kasparov in 1997.1997年的历史不是Go创造的，故B错，根据AlphaGo’s early strategy was “excellent” and that he was shocked by one unconventional move it had made that a human never would have played, which he believed directly resulted in his loss.可知AlphaGo的初步策略就是不凡的，令人震惊的，故C错，根据"I was very surprised because I did not think that I would lose the game,"可知李最初相信自己是可以赢的比赛的，故选D。

3.A 细节理解题。根据He said AlphaGo’s early strategy was “excellent” and that he was shocked by one unconventional move it had made that a human never would have played, which he believed directly resulted in his loss.李认为最终导致他失败的就是AlphaGo不同常人的非凡的策略，故选A。
