【正文】 the ocean. Until the latest research, scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations. The crew of the Nautilus, a private research ship, recovered the rock particles(顆粒).The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust. The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.5．犇犇閱讀理解 第一段中的“Well, sometimes the best disguise is actually the most dazzling because research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence(金屬彩虹色) can visually puzzle predators, which allows colorful prey to survive another day.”有時(shí)，最好的偽裝其實(shí)是最耀眼的偽裝，因?yàn)檠芯勘砻?，閃光的金屬彩虹色能在視覺(jué)上迷惑捕食者，這讓五顏六色的獵物能夠再存活一天，是全文的主題句，結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容，可知這篇文章主要講了彩虹色有助于生物隱藏，故選B。由此推斷接下來(lái)一段會(huì)談?wù)?為什么鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)不受彩虹色昆蟲(chóng)的影響，故選C。根據(jù)最后一段說(shuō)研究人員目前正在對(duì)鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)，這些鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)的飲食中經(jīng)常含有彩虹色的昆蟲(chóng)。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。up isn39?？芍?jiǎng)游镉貌屎缟鹜榈淖⒁猓懦鼴；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The idea that eye173。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。D.Colors unique to animalsB.Which camouflage theory applies more to birds.（4）Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?

A.conceal themselves when in dangerB.eye view.（1）According to the passage, iridescence is not made use of by animals to ________. A. In a similar way, we were asking whether iridescence, due to its changeability, could work as a form of camouflage by preventing shape recognition. Kjernsmo and her colleagues trained bumblebees to associate a particular shape—a circle or an oval—with a sugar reward. And they found that the bees, when given a choice, would preferentially visit the shape they knew to be sweet. But when the shapes were iridescent, the bees had trouble telling them apart. It seemed that the strikingly iridescent surfaces on our targets visually broke up the otherwise recognizable shape of the targets, which made them hard to distinguish. As for making use of this method for hiding in plain sight, Any practical applications is of course directly linked to any industry that has an interest in camouflage, that is how to conceal objects or make them more difficult to recognize. The researchers are currently conducting experiments with birds, which often prey on iridescent insects to see if it helps to have a bird39。. And this sounds like a pletely unreasonable thing to say, because how can colors that are both brilliant and changeable contribute to animal39。brilliantly changeable or metallic colors are among the strongest factors in an animal39。t a new one. The father of camouflage theory, Abbott Thayer, really believed that iridescence should be categorized as a camouflage strategy. And he wrote in his famous lifework Concealing173。catching colors could be used as a cover173。But iridescence also shows up in situations where reproduction is not an issue. So what we are studying now is whether natural selection imposed by predation(捕食行為) could explain the occurrence of iridescence in prey animals. s viewed, is favored by everything from birds to beetles and blossoms to butterflies. A good disguise keeps you hidden, right? Well, sometimes the best disguise is actually the most dazzling because research reveals that flashy metallic iridescence(金屬彩虹色) can visually puzzle predators, which allows colorful prey to survive another day. Those surprising results appear in the journal Scientific Reports. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(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。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report.

The real difficulty lies in the third the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don39。s voice. The developer needs to collect tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them into the machine and match them with the text or the Al to lean and read. The process for imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyse the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data for the AI news anchor to lean, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programs To find the answer, we have to analyse the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices a
