7 . AI’s Challenge: Ask Right Questions

In his visionary essay “As We May Think” published in 1945, the American engineer and science advocate Vannevar Bush predicted that people would soon need to rely on external devices to enhance their minds.     1    

His more recent observation rings truer than ever: one of the challenges of modern science is to make sense of the vast amount of information we’ve gathered about the world.     2     AI stands to help us turn this great amount of information into understanding — enabling us to ask questions that would be almost impossible for individuals to solve.

Scientists have long used computing to advance science, employing computer programs to model and imitate natural systems to explain and understand scientific phenomena. This approach has been incredibly fruitful for science.     3     Our hope is to use AI systems to find such rules directly from data or experience, and potentially go beyond what individual researchers might be able to do. These self-learning systems can explore potential solutions and strategies by discovering hidden properties of the underlying structure of datasets, and may therefore enhance, rather than be limited to, human understanding.

    4     Though a great deal of work is being done applying AI to the sciences, it’s not necessary that a direct application of these technologies would (or should) result in a breakthrough in every scientific problem. The most impactful advances will come from applying AI techniques to questions that really matter to society, and for which complicated reasoning and analysis abilities are required. Much of the art of solving a problem lies in picking the right question in the first place.

A．Going after a question like Ms doesn’t contribute one answer, but many, opening up entire new fields of inquiry.

B．Given the scale of data generated by science, it’s impossible for any individual person to deal with it all.

C．A crucial point, then, is finding the right problems for these systems to explore.

D．Even then, he could see that the rate of scientific discovery was so great that the need to store, process and understand information already went beyond people’s natural ability.

E．AI systems stand to deepen our scientific understanding and speed up new technological breakthroughs.

F．However, this classical approach is limited by its reliance on human programmers who must first find rules from theories and observations, then use these rules to program.

8 . The 16^th-century dramatist Ben Johnson generously called Shakespeare a writer “not of an age, but for all time.” And so it has proven to be, for Shakespeare’s plays are still the most translated and most _________ of any play writer’s in the world. But if you ask people what accounts for Shakespeare’s _________ popularity, you will get a number of different answers. Some will say that he was a great storyteller, others that the _________ lies in the beauty of his poetry. Some scholars point out that he was born in a lively period of England’s history, a time of great national confidence and cultural activity, particularly in the theatre. _________, they claim, he was able to produce an extraordinary volume of work.

This last explanation seems a little _________. A more interesting answer is put forward, although a little over-enthusiastically, by Harold Bloom in his book Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human. Bloom argues that Shakespeare gave us something in his writing that the world had not seen in _________ before: characters with a strong personality. These lifelike characters gave us a real insight into the human _________: Iago, the trusted advisor of Othello, whose jealousy leads him to betray his honest master; Rosalind, the heroine in As You Like It, who remains true to her friends and family in spite of the danger to herself. Through the mouths of such characters, we learn truths about life that we can all _________. These truths are made more moving and more memorable by the way in which they are _________: briefly and poetically.

Shakespeare has been dead almost 400 years, but the words and saying attributed (归功于) to him still __________ the English language today. So whether you are “fashionable” or “sanctimonious,” thank Shakespeare, who probably __________ the terms. In fact, it is amazing just how great Shakespeare’s influence on everyday language has been. Take, for example, these phrases from Michael Macrone’s light-hearted book Brush Up Your Shakespeare.

foregone conclusion　　　　　　　　　　seen better days
full circle　　　　　　　　　　　　　　a sorry sight
at one fell swoop　　　　　　　　　　　neither here nor there
wear my heart upon my sleeve　　　　　　the world is (my) oyster

Macrone is more interested in the Shakespearean language that has survived than the reasons for its __________. According to his research, some of these sayings are slightly different from their original meaning once taken out of the __________ of the plays in which they first appeared. For example, “be all and end all” is used today to mean “the most important thing”, but in Macbeth, it means “the end of the matter”.

Regardless of such technicalities, it is still remarkable that so many of Shakespeare’s words have survived the large __________ in language between their time and the present day. The beauty of those words is certainly one reason, but as Johnson suggested, it is the humanity relevance of their __________ that brings them to life.

Restless Genes

“No other mammal (哺乳动物) moves around like we do,” says Svante Pääbo, a director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. He uses genetics to study human origins. “There’s a kind of     1     to it. Sailing out into the ocean, you have no idea what’s on the other side. And now we go to Mars. We never stop. Why?”

If an urge to explore rises in us at birth, perhaps its     2     lies within our genome. In fact, there is a mutation (突变) that pops up frequently in such discussions: a variant of a gene called DRD4. DRD4 helps control dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior. Researchers have repeatedly tied the variant DRD4-7R—carried by roughly 20 percent of all humans—to increased     3     and restlessness. Dozens of human studies have found that 7R makes people more likely to take risks: explore new places, ideas, foods, or relationships; and generally love movement, change, and adventure.

So is 7R the explorer’s gene or adventure gene, as some call it? Yale University evolutionary and population geneticist Kenneth Kidd thinks that this     4     its roles. Kidd speaks with     5     authority here, as he was part of the team that discovered the 7R variant 20 years ago. “You just can’t     6     something as complex as human exploration to a single gene.” It would be better, Kidd suggests, to consider how groups of genes might lay foundation for such behavior. It is likely that different groups of genes contribute to     7     characteristics that enable us to explore. There may be other genes—7R among them—which go even further: They     8     us to explore. It helps, in short, to think not just of the urge to explore but of the ability—not just the motivation but the     9    . Before you can act on the urge, you need the tools or characteristics that make exploration     10    .

Undercover Wings

The nocturnal（夜间活动）dot-underwing moth（蛾）may use shape -shifting patterns on its wings as a way to attract mates in the dark. In a study published last September in Current Biology, scientists report the    1    on males' forewings of three patches（色斑）that change darkness and size when viewed from particular angles. In females, the entire forewing darkens.

Although butterfly and moth species that are active during the day are known to employ visual effects to communicate, researchers had thought their nocturnal cousins relied almost    2    on chemical signals because of the lack of light. But these    3    wing patterns, now found for the first time in a nocturnal moth, suggest the insects may also use visual signals. Because only the males have this pattern, researchers say it is likely a（n）    4    selected mechanism.

Jennifer Kelley, an ecologist based at the University of Western Australia, and her colleagues first noticed the visual phenomenon while looking at museum moth specimens（标本）for another project. "As soon as we figured the effect was angle-    5    , we knew that to understand how it works, we had to understand the    6    physics," Kelley says. The group contacted Gerd Schröder-Turk and Bodo Wilts, who are physicists at Murdoch University in Perth and the Adolphe Merkle Institute in Switzerland respectively.

Together the researchers found that when the wings are viewed from above, they    7    available light directly, like a dull mirror. When viewed from an angle, however, they let some of the light through to reveal a deeper layer of darkness, which    8    as patches on the male's wings. If the insects were to beat their wings    9    —a common behavior among males approaching potential mates—the patches would flash on and off, creating a striking signal even in very    10    light.
