【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ossible to measure behavior over the long term. The puter model was trained using over 10 million images(影像):from Kyoto University s Primate Research Institute(PRI) video files of wild chimpanzees in Guinea, West Africa. The new software is the first to continuously track and recognize individual a wide range of poses, performing with high accuracy in difficult conditions such as low lighting and poor image quality. Access to this large video file has allowed us to use deep neural networks to train models to a degree that was previously not possible, says Arsha Nagrad, coauther of the study and DPhil student at the Department of Engineer Science, University of Oxford. Additionally, our new software differs from previous primate face recognition software in that it can be applied to videos with limited manual intervention(人工干預(yù)), saving hours of time. The technology can be potentially used to monitor species for conservation Although the present application focuses on chimpanzees, the AI software provided will be applied to other species, and help drive the adoption of AI systems to solve(解決)a range of problems in the wildlife sciences.（1）What is the purpose of developing the new soft? save wildlife researchers39。 time spent in the labs. keep track of wildlife conservationists39。 behaviors. protect chimpanzees and help them to live longer. recognize and track the faces of wild chimpanzees.（2）What does the underlined word it in paragraph 2 refer to? photos. videos. powerful machine new AI software.（3）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? working principle of the new software. limitations of using the new software. unique advantages of the new software. attitudes to the new software.（4）What can be known from the last paragraph? advance is the final goal of science new software won39。t just be applied to chimpanzees. systems are widely used in the wildlife sciences. application of the new technology isn39。t easy.【答案】 （1）D（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一種新的人工智能軟件，這種軟件可以識別和追蹤黑猩猩的面孔,大大節(jié)省了研究者和野生動物保護(hù)者的時間，而且它還可以應(yīng)用到其他的物種研究。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的”Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence(AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)in the wild. ”可知，新軟件的開發(fā)是為了識別和追蹤野外黑猩猩的面孔。故選D。 （2）考查代詞指代。根據(jù)第一段的敘述及第二段中的“By taking advantage of the power of machine learning to unlock large video files…”可推斷it指代第一段中提到的新的人工智能軟件。故選D。 （3）考查段落大意。根據(jù)第四段的敘述可知，本段主要介紹了新軟件與其他軟件相比所具有的獨(dú)特的優(yōu)勢。故選C。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The technology can be potentially used to monitor species for conservation Although the present application focuses on chimpanzees, the AI software provided will be applied to other species. 可知，新的軟件不僅被用在黑猩猩身上，它還將被用于其他物種。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，代詞指代和段落大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 The founder of electric supercar maker Rimac has said it won39。t make sense for people to own or drive their own cars in the ing decades. According to Rimac, most people will no longer own or operate their own cars in the future. Instead, vehicles will be shared, self—driving and electric. These changes are already starting. There will be people who still want to own their cars and drive their cars and I am happy for that because that is our business, Rimac said. Long term, I think 20 years down the road, it will be totally changed and people will not own or drive their cars anymore. Rimac39。s most recent car, the C—Two, es off the production line next year. Rimac is well aware the industry is changing quickly due to the rise of selfdriving vehicles and electric batteries, and says in the next 20 years driving as we know it may exist mainly as a hobby. I really believe that humanity goes for things that make sense. he told Newsweek. If you look at million people dying every year on the roads, if you look at the impact it has on economies based on traffic jams and time lost, it39。s so much of a negative impact to society that I think such a huge benefit can be gained if people stop driving. Let39。s look into the future. You are standing in front of the choice of either investing a huge amount of your money in buying a hunk of metal and plastic for 30, 40, 50 thousand dollars, or you have the convenient option of paying as you go, the car picks you up in a few minutes, it39。s a nice environment and you spend a few dollars per day on your transport. When you take the driver out of the car, transport can be much cheaper and you can use the time to do other things, instead of sitting behind a steering(轉(zhuǎn)向)wheel and not doing anything else. So I think the choice for the vast majority of people will be the obvious one.（1）What can we learn from paragraph 2? majority of people will purchase cars. changes will take place in car industry. cars will enjoy more popularity. car business is gradually disappearing.（2）What is a major cause of the fast change in the car industry? rapid growth of selfdriving cars. rise of shared vehicles. increasing demand of customers. advanced production line.（3）How does Rima feel about the future of selfdriving cars? ....（4）What can be a suitable title for the text? cars meet new challenges. cars avoid human errors. or driving cars won39。t be a must. cars will be pletely replaced.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）C（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，講述了由于自動駕駛車輛和電池的興起，在不遠(yuǎn)的將來人們不用再買車和駕車，此外自動駕駛車輛將給社會和環(huán)境帶來巨大好。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Long term, I think 20 years down the road, it will be totally changed and people will not own or drive their cars anymore.”可知，20年后交通會有巨大的變化，人們將不會擁有或者駕駛車輛，由此可推測將來汽車產(chǎn)業(yè)將會發(fā)生巨大變大。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Rimac is well aware the industry is changing quickly due to the rise of selfdriving vehicles and electric batteries,“可知汽車產(chǎn)業(yè)的巨大變化是由自動駕駛車輛和電池的興起導(dǎo)致。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的”So I think the choice for the vast majority of people will be the obvious one.”可知Rimac認(rèn)為很多人都會選擇自動駕駛車輛，故推測Rimac對自動駕駛車輛的未來非常樂觀。選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“The founder of electric supercar maker Rimac has said it won39。t make sense for people to own or drive their own cars in the ing decades.“和下文所講述的內(nèi)容可知，本文主要圍繞將來人們不用再擁有和駕
