【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了人工智能的發(fā)展歷史，以及它的使用途徑。

【1】句意：在電腦技術(shù)剛出現(xiàn)時，機器事實上是相當笨拙的。

此處修飾其后形容詞stupid，應該用副詞；actually表示“事實上”，是副詞，故選C。

【2】句意：電腦沒有能力去做任何復雜的事。

此處作賓語，其前被定冠詞the修飾，所以用名詞單數(shù)；根據(jù)句意，可知是說沒有能力；power表示“能力”，是名詞，故選B。

【3】句意：1989年，兩個人工智能項目在象棋比賽中擊敗中國大師后展示了它們先進的處理問題的技能。

此處缺謂語動詞，根據(jù)時間狀語，可知用一般過去時，所以要動詞過去時；根據(jù)句意，可知是擊敗了人類大師；beat表示“擊敗”，是動詞，其過去時還是beat，故選A。

【4】句意：用戶可以對Siri說任何話，然后驚訝地得到像人類一樣的回復。

此處作賓語，其前被形容詞humanlike修飾，應該用名詞；根據(jù)句意，這里是得到回復的意思；response表示“回復”，是名詞，故選D。
