2025年12月六级第2套选词填空原文翻译及答案解析

We humans love to believe we are special, but science and technology have repeatedly proved this conviction wrong. People __26__ thought that humans were the only animals to use tools, to form teams or to propagate culture, but science has shown that other animals do each of these things.

我们人类喜欢相信自己是特殊的，但科学和技术已经反复证明这种信念是错误的。人们曾经认为人类是唯一会使用工具、组建团队或传播文化的动物，但科学表明其他动物也做这些事情。

Meanwhile, technology has quashed, one by one, claims that __27__ tasks require a human brain. The first adding machine was invented in 1623. This past year, a computer-generated work won an art contest. I believe the moment when computers meet and __28__ human intelligence is on the horizon.

与此同时，技术已经逐一驳斥了认知任务需要人脑才能完成的说法。第一台加法机发明于1623年。过去一年，一件由计算机生成的作品赢得了一场艺术比赛。我相信计算机达到并超越人类智能的时刻即将到来。

How will human intelligence and creativity be valued when machines become smarter and more creative than the brightest people? There will likely be a spectrum. In some __29__, people still value humans doing things, even if a computer can do it better. It's been a quarter of a century since a computer beat world champion Garry Kasparov, but human chess hasn't gone away.

当机器变得比最聪明的人更智能、更有创造力时，人类智能和创造力将如何被重视？很可能存在一个范围。在某些领域，人们仍然重视人类做事，即使计算机能做得更好。自从计算机击败世界冠军加里·卡斯帕罗夫已经过去四分之一世纪，但人类国际象棋并没有消失。

In other fields, human skill will seem costly and __30__. Take illustration for example: most readers don't care whether the graphic __31__ a magazine article was drawn by a person or a computer — they just want it to be relevant, new and perhaps __32__.

在其他领域，人类技能将显得昂贵且多余。以插图为例：大多数读者不关心杂志文章中的插图是由人还是计算机绘制的——他们只希望它相关、新颖，或许还具有娱乐性。

And, of course, this question isn't black or white. Many fields will be a __33__, where some humans find a lucky place, but most of the work is done by computers, like in manufacturing today, where, much of the work is accomplished by robots, but some humans must be there to __34__ the machines.

当然，这个问题并非非黑即白。许多领域将是混合的，其中一些人类找到幸运的位置，但大部分工作由计算机完成，就像今天的制造业一样，许多工作由机器人完成，但必须有一些人类在那里监督机器。

If history is any guide, it's almost certain that advances in AI will cause more jobs to __35__, that creative workers with human-only skills will become richer but fewer in number, and that those who own creative technology will become the new ultra-rich.

如果历史有任何指导意义，几乎可以肯定的是，人工智能的进步将导致更多工作消失，拥有仅限人类技能的创意工作者将变得更富有但数量更少，而拥有创意技术的人将成为新的超级富豪。
