AndyBot may bee one of the world39。Kaplan is eager to bee one of the world39。For decades, Silicon Valley futurists have sought to free humanity from the life cycle. Today, a new generation of panies is selling some approximation(近似) of virtual immortality, which gives people the opportunity to preserve one39。Someday, Kaplan, who playfully refers to himself as a pig, may be remembered as one of the world39。If all goes according to plan future generations will be able to interact with him using voice puting platforms of mobile devices, asking him questions, letting him tell stories and drawing upon a lifetime39。 When Andrew Kaplan recalls, his stories leave the impression that he has managed to pack multiple lives into a single existence: A war reporter in his 20s. an army member, a successful businessman and later. the author of numerous spy novels and Hollywood scripts. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，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。 （4）考查主旨大意。他說(shuō)，表演不僅僅是 假裝 成某個(gè)人，它還包括文本和語(yǔ)言的體現(xiàn)。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than ‘pretending’由此可知Brown博士的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，演員在表演時(shí)大腦活動(dòng)是不同的，故選B。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested.

However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than pretending to be someone — it involves embodying (體現(xiàn)) the text and language.（1）How did Dr Brown39。 The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character. Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party? And would they tell their parents that they had fallen in love? almost like the character is possessing you. Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not. Acting is the least mysterious of all crafts, Marion Brando once said. But for scientists, working out what is going on in an actor39。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，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。發(fā)表在《科學(xué)進(jìn)展》(Science Advances)雜志上的這項(xiàng)新研究將蜜蜂也列入了這一名單。 （4）考查主旨大意?？芍?，新研究的發(fā)現(xiàn)說(shuō)明了在更多的物種中發(fā)現(xiàn)了數(shù)字認(rèn)知。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Many species can understand the difference between quantities and use this to search for food, make decisions and solve problems.

A.t require a massive brain, there might also be new ways for us to include interactions of both longterm rules and working memory in designs to improve rapid AI learning of new problems,” said Dyer. The findings suggest that advanced numerical cognition (認(rèn)知) may be found much more widely in nature among nonhuman animals than previously suspected. RMIT39。 Researchers have found bees can do basic mathematics, in a discovery that deepens our understanding of the relationship between brain size and brain power. Recently, A study conducted by researchers from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia showed that bees could perform arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction (減法). 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。從而可以推斷出，千足蟲是擁有多種防御機(jī)制的物種。然而，它們也會(huì)釋放出有害 的 （3）考查推理判斷。t have to fax anyone a death certificate.
