Then there are the asyetunknown jobs that will be created by AI. The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data—it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so. In 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entire French Scrabble Dictionary in just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French.

A.It helps prove the importance of protecting wolves.C.To study what good wolves can do to ecosystems.(3)What is the significance of the research? A.To show how wolves benefit from ecosystems.C.Accept.(2)For what purpose was a documentary made? A.Notice.Understand.Expect. To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, which eventually makes entire ecosystems more biologically diverse and healthy. In this documentary, biologist Aaron Wirsing explored why wolves and other top predators (捕食者)were needed for diverse ecosystems to develop. Using a simple video camera, Wirsing is gaining a unique view point on predatorprey relationships and changing the way we think about wolves.t adopted ecologicalprocess management—allowing natural ecological processes to take place with least human intervention. Yellowstone has benefited from the reintroduction of wolves in ways that we did not anticipate, especially the plexity of biological interactions(互動(dòng)) in the park, explained Mark Boyce, a professor in the Department of Biological Sciences. We were really surprised at that and we39。 Wolves strike fear into the hearts of many species, humans included. Our fear of them has brought them to the edge of dying out, as we have cruelly killed them as petitors and troublemakers. But researchers are discovering that the very fear they put into prey(被捕食者)species is exactly what helps make ecosystems(生態(tài))healthy. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,要求考生準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。由此可知。free land on Earth is used for agriculture, and according to some estimates, producing food accounts for roughly a fifth of all human173。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。由此推斷出劃線詞所在的句子意思是我們所吃的食物給環(huán)境帶來(lái)了巨大代價(jià)。caused greenhouse gas emissions.
