善意隐瞒还是如实相告？AI替身引争议
善意隐瞒还是如实相告？AI替身引争议

Nothing is more painful for a mother than losing her child. So, would you lie to protect her from that pain? This question recently caused a heated debate among Chinese netizens.
A special family story is reported by a famous newspaper. A young man died in a serious car accident. His family made an AI digital copy of him. The 80-year-old mother could still talk with her son through video calls. The old woman had heart problems, and the young man was her only child. The family feared the terrible news would completely destroy her health, so they chose to hide the truth. They refused to tell the old lady that her son has passed away.
The digital clone looks and sounds just like the real person — same accent, same way of speaking, even the habit of leaning forward. The family set up video calls so the elderly mother could talk to “him.” She often told him to eat well, keep warm and look after himself. The AI son always replied that he would visit her soon.
People hold different opinions. Some support the family, saying it is full of love and warmth. Others argue that the old lady has the right to know the truth, and talking to an AI copy is not real comfort.

1.1. What caused the heated debate among Chinese Internet users?

A An AI-created video.

B A family’s special choice.

C A serious car accident.

D An old woman’s heart disease.

解析：选B。1.B 细节理解题。文章第一段末尾提出“would you lie to protect her from that pain? This question recently caused a heated debate…”，紧接着第二段开篇便报道了一个“special family story”，详细叙述了这个家庭为保护母亲而选择用AI克隆体隐瞒儿子死讯的过程。可见，直接引发网络热议的正是这个家庭做出的特殊选择，故选B。A选项提到的AI制作视频在原文并未出现，属于错误表述；选项C的车祸是事件的起因，但人们争论的不是车祸本身；选项D中老妇人的心脏病是家人决定隐瞒的顾虑之一，同样不是争论的焦点。故选B。

2.2. Why did the family hide the truth from the old woman?

A To protect her health.

B To test AI technology.

C To make more money.

D To improve their life.

解析：选A。2.A 细节理解题。第二段明确写道“The family feared the terrible news would completely destroy her health, so they chose to hide the truth.”，即家人担心噩耗会彻底摧毁老人的健康，所以选择隐瞒真相。这与选项A “为了保护她的健康”完全一致。选项B的“测试AI技术”、C的“挣更多钱”和D的“改善生活”在文中均未提及，无法成为隐瞒的原因。故选A。

3.3. What is similar between the AI clone and the dead man?

A Their working ways.

B Their talking manners.

C Their favorite hobbies.

D Their daily plans.

解析：选B。3.B 细节理解题。第三段直接描述了数字克隆体与真人的相似之处：“same accent, same way of speaking, even the habit of leaning forward”（相同的口音、相同的说话方式，甚至身体前倾的习惯）。这些都属于“talking manners”（言谈举止）的范畴。文中并未提到工作方式、爱好或日常计划等方面的相似点，故A、C、D均无法从文中得出。故选B。

4.4. What did the old mother often tell her “son” to do?

A Relax at home often.

B Find a new good job.

C Return home at once.

D Take good care of himself.

解析：选D。4.D 细节理解题。根据第三段老母亲常对“儿子”说的话“She often told him to eat well, keep warm and look after himself”，其中“look after himself”与选项D“Take good care of himself.”对应。她叮嘱的是吃好、穿暖、照顾好自己，并没有要求他经常在家放松（A）、找一份新工作（B）或立即回家（C）。故选D。

5.5. What do people think of the family’s decision?

A They all agree with it.

B They disagree completely.

C Their ideas are different.

D They show little interest.

解析：选C。5.C 观点态度题。最后一段首句便点明“People hold different opinions.”，接着用“Some support the family… Others argue…”具体展示了支持与反对两种不同的声音。这说明人们对这一家庭决定持有不同看法。选项A“都同意”和B“完全不同意”都过于绝对，与文中的分歧事实不符；选项D“几乎不关心”则与“heated debate”（热烈争论）的描述完全矛盾。故选C。
