When Elon Musk says that his new priority is using artificial intelligence to build domestic robots, we should look forward to the day in admiration.

当埃隆·马斯克说他的新重点是使用人工智能来建造家用机器人时,我们应该满怀钦佩地期待那一天的到来。

Mr. Musk is a guy who gets things done. The founder of two tech companies, Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is bringing electric vehicles to mass market and __26__ humans to live on other planets. This sounds like so much hot air, but the near $13 billion fortune this entrepreneur has __27__ comes from practical achievements rather than hypothetical ones.

马斯克先生是一个说到做到的人。作为两家科技公司特斯拉汽车和SpaceX的创始人,他正在将电动汽车推向大众市场,并使人类能够在其他星球上生活。这听起来像是吹牛,但这位企业家积累的近130亿美元财富来自于实际成就,而非假设。

A lot of clever people are __28__ about artificial intelligence, fearing that robots will one day become so __29__ that they'll murder all of us. These fears are mostly __30__: as with hysteria about genetic modification, we humans are generally wise enough to manage these problems with speed and care.

许多聪明人都对人工智能感到恐惧,担心有一天机器人会变得如此聪明以至于杀死我们所有人。这些恐惧大多是夸张的:就像对基因修改的歇斯底里一样,我们人类通常足够明智,能够快速而谨慎地处理这些问题。

And just think of how wonderful it would be if you had a live-in robot. It could, __31__, be like having a babysitter and a nurse rolled into one--or, if that required __32__ intelligence beyond the power of Mr. Musk's imagined machine, at least someone to chop the carrots, wash the car and mow the lawn. Once purchased and trained, this would allow the __33__ user to save money and time, freeing up __34__ space in our busy lives to read a good book.

想想看,如果你有一个住在家里机器人该多好。最终,它可能就像集保姆和护士于一身——或者,如果那需要超出马斯克先生想象的机器的能力的情感智能,至少能有人切胡萝卜、洗车和修剪草坪。一旦购买并训练好,这将使普通用户节省金钱和时间,在我们忙碌的生活中腾出宝贵的空间来读一本好书。

That is why we welcome Mr. Musk's latest __35__, and wish him well. As long as robots add to the sum of human happiness, reduce suffering, and create time to read world-class journalism, we should be their fans. Especially since journalism is one job robots will never do.

这就是为什么我们欢迎马斯克先生的最新项目,并祝他一切顺利。只要机器人能增加人类的总体幸福,减少痛苦,并创造时间阅读世界级的新闻报道,我们就应该成为它们的粉丝。尤其是因为新闻工作是机器人永远无法胜任的工作。

逐空答案与解析
26.
答案 Denabling
解析空格在 "is bringing electric vehicles to mass market and __ humans to live on other planets" 中,与前面的 bringing 并列,需要一个 V-ing 形式作谓语;后接 "humans to live on other planets" 构成 enable sb. to do sth. 结构。eventually 是副词,无法承担动词位且不能搭配 "humans to live",排除。语义上指马斯克在『使』人类得以在其他星球居住,故选 D enabling。
27.
答案 Aamassed
解析空格位于 "this entrepreneur has __" 之后接定语从句修饰 fortune,需要 has 后的过去分词构成现在完成时,且语义上需表达『积累(财富)』。amass a fortune 是固定搭配,意为聚敛巨额财富。故选 A amassed。
28.
答案 Nterrified
解析空格在 "are __ about artificial intelligence, fearing that..." 中,需 be + 形容词,描述人对 AI 的情绪状态;下文 fearing that robots will... murder all of us 进一步说明这种情绪是『害怕』。terrified 与 about 搭配,意为对某事极度恐惧,与 fearing 语义呼应。故选 N terrified。
29.
答案 Lsmart
解析空格在 "become so __ that they'll murder all of us" 中,so...that 结构需要形容词;语义上指机器人变得非常聪明、聪明到反过来威胁人类。terrified 已用于 28 题且语义不符;smart 直接对应 AI 的智能程度。故选 L smart。
30.
答案 Fexaggerated
解析空格在 "These fears are mostly __" 中,be + adv. + 形容词构成系表,需要形容词;冒号后说明人类有能力管理这些问题,暗示前面的恐惧是言过其实。misleading 强调误导性,但作者重点是恐惧『被夸大』,而非『误导他人』。故选 F exaggerated。
31.
答案 Eeventually
解析空格被两个逗号隔开作插入语:"It could, __, be like having a babysitter and a nurse rolled into one",插入语位置最常见是副词。enabling 是动词形式,无法作插入语;语义上说『最终』机器人能集保姆与护士于一身,承接前文 "if you had a live-in robot" 的设想。故选 E eventually。
32.
答案 Cemotional
解析空格修饰名词 intelligence,需要形容词。原文设想机器人当『保姆+护士』,但承认这需要某种『超出马斯克所设想机器能力』的智能 —— 与照护、陪伴最直接相关的是 emotional intelligence(情商),是英语中固定搭配。extravagant intelligence 不通顺。故选 C emotional。
33.
答案 Bcasual
解析空格在 "allow the __ user to save money and time" 中,前 the 后 user,必须填形容词修饰 user。generously 是副词,不能作定语。语义上指普通的、非专业的家用机器人使用者得以省时省钱。故选 B casual。
34.
答案 Jprecious
解析空格修饰名词 space,需形容词;上文谈到节省金钱与时间,下文说『腾出空间来读好书』,说明这空间是宝贵稀缺的。故选 J precious。
35.
答案 Oventure
解析空格在 "Mr. Musk's latest __" 中,需名词作 latest 的中心词;全文围绕马斯克新涉足家用机器人这一新事业(business venture),与开篇 "his new priority" 呼应。reward / sphere 与 latest 搭配语义不通。故选 O venture。
