arning, the Shark Spotter system receives imagery from the drone camera and attempts to identify all objects in the scene. Once certain objects are detected, they are put into one of 16 categories: shark, whale, dolphin, rays, different types of boats, surfers, and swimmers. If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the puter screen and an audible warning to the operator. The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark Spotter system to the Surf Life Savers for further action. In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotation pod (漂浮倉(cāng)) together with an electronic shark repellent (驅(qū)逐裝置) that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble, trapped in a rip, or if there are sharks close by. In January 2018, the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a rip at Lennox Head, NSW. The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone. The plete rescue operation took 70 seconds. We believe Shark Spotter is a winwin for both marine life and beachgoers. This unique technology bines dynamic video image processing AI and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global challenge of ensuring safe beaches, protecting environments, and promoting tourism.(1)A Shark Spotter is ________. A.a solution to monitor sharksB.an equipment to identify lifesaversC.a technology to prevent shark attacksD.a project to pioneer the use of drones(2)When a shark is spotted near a swimmer, the system will ________. A.take timely actionB.analyze the visual dataC.classify the identified objectsD.turn on deep learning mode(3)The example in the 5th paragraph shows us that the system is ________. A.efficient in saving livesB.effective in detecting sharksC.smart in driving sharks awayD.practical over the whole sea area(4)What is the author39。s attitude towards the future of SharkSpotter? ....【答案】 (1)C(2)A(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,介紹了一種旨在防止鯊魚襲擊的技術(shù)Shark Spotter的工作原理以及重要意義。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的”If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the puter screen and an audible warning to the operator.

Based on her experience, Bales knew that her hike was realistic. Besides, she had two plans and extra layers of clothing to better regulate her temperature as conditions changed. At 10:30 ., the weather was showing its teeth. Bales added even more layers, including a jacket to protect herself from the cold winds and heavy fog. She made her way across the snow—covered ridge toward Mount Washington and began to think about calling it a day. Then she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her. She39。d been following faint tracks all day and hadn39。t given them much thought, because so many people climbed Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of sneakers. She silently scolded the absent hiker for breaking normal safety rules and walked on. Now she felt genuinely alarmed. She was sure the hiker could not navigate(找到方向)in the low visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness. Bales stood there, shocked. The temperature and clouds were in a race to find their lowest point, and darkness was mere hours away. If Bales continued to follow the tracks, she39。d add risk and time to the route she39。d already adjusted to manage both. But she could not let this go. She turned to the left and called out, Hello! into the frozen fog. Bales wouldn39。t get an answer until a week later, when the president of her rescue group received a letter in the mail. It read: I hope this reaches the right group of rescuers. I want to remain anonymous(匿名的), but I was called John. On Sunday, October 17, I went up my favorite trail, Jewell, to end my life. Weather was to be bad. Thought no one else would be there. I was dressed to go quickly. Next thing I knew this lady was talking to me, changing my clothes, giving me food, making me warmer.(1)What does the underlined sentence mean? weather began to get worse.
