test that could one day help doctors identify who might get Alzheimer’s disease. The scientists said the test can recognize a protein known as amyloid (涛粉样蛋) beta, which other studies have linked to Alzheimer's. They said it was correct more than 90 percent of the time in a study involving over 370 people. The findings were published in the journal Nature.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of demenna（痴呆). Experts believe dementia affects close to 50 million people worldwide. By the year 2050, it is expected to affect more than131 million people. Those numbers come from Alzheimer's Disease International, a non-profit group. Currently, doctors have two ways to identify a buildup of amyloid beta in the brain. One is brain scan or brain imaging; the other is a spinal tap(脊椎抽 液). But both tests are invasive,costly and may only show results when the disease has already started to progress. There is no treatment that can slow the progression of Alzheimer's. Current drugs can only case some of the effects of the disease.
Having a simple, low-cost blood test could make it easier for drug companies to find enough people who are at risk of developing Alzheimer's to test new medicines, said Katsuhiko Yanagisawa. He was one of the leaders of the study. He works at the Japanese National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology
Alzheimer's disease is thought to start developing years before patients have any signs of memory loss. Experts say an important factor in finding an effective treatment will be the ability to recognize signs of the disease early. \got to walk before you run, \professor at the University of Melbourne in Australia. \You have to learn to diagnose the disease directly before you can hope to see the effect of therapeutic intervention. And that’ s where the real value in this test will come. \added.

Section B English-Chinese Translation
Directions: Translate into Chinese the underline sentences in the following passage. Please write your translation on The Answer Sheet.(15 points)
When asked how far engineers had done towards creating artificial intelligence(AI),Stephen W. Hawking replied: 66. Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it would take off on its own. It will redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete with them. We would be replaced.”
In my view, the late Cambridge professor is wrong because there are strong grounds for believing that computers will never copy all human cognitive abilities. 67. AI has historically failed to copy human mentality, and it will continue to fail. Three fundamental problems explain why.
First, computers lack true understanding. A US philosopher John Searle proposes how a computer program can appear to understand Chinese stories by responding to questions, but fail to truly understand anything of the interaction.
Second, computers lack consciousness. Some researchers hold 68. if a robot experiences a conscious sensation as it interacts with the world, consciousness will exist in everything everywhere：in the cup of tea I am drinking, in the seat that I am sitting on. But does everything in this world have souls or minds? If we reject
this idea, we must reject machine consciousness
Lastly, computers lack mathematical insight. Can the human mind be completely realized by mere computations my role as an Al expert on the International Committee for Robot Arms Control.I am particularly concerned by the potential development of robotic weapons systems. 69. These systems can engage themselves in military action without human instruction. This is because current AI is not similar to human intelligence. When fighting against each other, poorly designed autonomous systems have the potential to make the situations worse rapidly. Such systems can exhibit true artificial stupidity.
It is possible to agree that 70. AI may pose an existential threat to humanity, but it will never become more intelligent than us.
