When she was studying t becme a scientist,Megan Strauss rde in a small airplane t study giraffes.While a pilt flew ver the Serengeti in Tanzania,Africa,the researchers lked dwn carefully and cunted giraffes.
“I am always amazed hw easily we can spt warthgs and ther small animals,yet we smetimes have truble seeing giraffes.Giraffes are slender in shape,and they may nt thrw a gd shadw,” says Dr.Strauss,wh has since becme a wildlife scientist.
The Serengeti is abut the size f Vermnt,a state in the nrtheastern US,s the scientists culd nt study the entire area.Instead,they surveyed three areas where giraffes were studied in the 1970s.As they expected,they saw far fewer f these animals.
T find ut if lins had been killing mre giraffes in recent years,the team lked at the survival f yung giraffes.Lins kill mre yung giraffes than adults,but the team fund n decrease in yung giraffes’ survival after they are brn,cmpared with the 1970s.
The team then lked at whether t many giraffes were being killed by parasites(寄生蟲).The researchers cunted parasite eggs in giraffe drppings,and they fund t few t harm the giraffe ppulatin.
They lked int whether pachers(盜獵者)were killing t many giraffes.Tw f the areas they studied are where giraffe meat is smetimes sld in lcal markets.Pachers catch mre adult males than ther giraffes.Researchers sptted t few males cmpared with females in thse tw areas,a sign f paching.
When the fd supply is shrt,the envirnment supprts fewer giraffes and the females have fewer yung giraffes.A lt f new trees have grwn in the Serengeti,but many are a type that giraffes d nt like t eat.The researchers fund fewer yung giraffes tday than in the 1970s cmpared with the number f adult females,a sign that fd was in shrt supply.

Fr tw centuries,the famus University f Cambridge debating sciety has hsted many prminent figures,frm wrld leaders t scientists t cmedians.
On Nv 21,the Cambridge Unin hsted its first-ever nn-human guest.Designed by IBM,Prject Debater is a machine that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) t frm a spken argument.It can even listen and answer t ppsing statements,much like a real persn.
Speaking with a vice similar t Siri,Prject Debater uses AI t search jurnals,newspapers and ther infrmatin surces.It then filters ut(過濾) useless infrmatin,picks the strngest arguments,and arranges them int a persuasive argument.
In the Cambridge test debate,it argued the tpic:AI will ultimately d mre harm than gd.Accrding t IBM,it is the first machine that can debate cmplicated tpics with humans.
Befre the debate,mre than 1,100 arguments fr the psitives and negatives f AI were submitted t the IBM website.The machine then analyzed these surces and frmed the basis f its arguments in minutes.Prject Debater then shwed ff its AI by arguing fr bth sides f the debate.
Over a fur-minute speech,it argued first that,“AI can nly make decisins that it has been prgrammed t slve,while humans can be prgrammed fr all plts,pssible events.”
In supprt f AI,it then argued that AI wuld create new jbs and “bring a lt mre efficiency” t the wrkplace.
This isn’t the first test fr Prject Debater.In June 2018,the machine went back-and-frth fr 20 minutes against champin debater Harish Natarajan.
Accrding t New Scientist,n bth ccasins,Prject Debater repeated pints and didn’t always sufficiently supprt them.
Speaking t Cambridge Independent,Nam Slnim,the prject’s lead engineer,said,“The AI is nt perfect,but it’s ging in the right directin.” The team hpes t imprve the AI by researching why humans find certain arguments mre persuasive than thers.
12.In which way des Prject Debater behave like a real persn?
A.It can listen and answer t ppsing statements.
B.It can speak with a vice similar t Siri.
C.It can create varius useful surces.
D.It can deal with any situatin.
13.What were prepared fr the machine befre the Cambridge test debate?
A.Analyzed surces.
B.Useless messages.
C.Materials fr arguments.
D.Items abut human debaters.
14.What can we infer frm the text?
A.AI did better than humans in arguments.
B.AI had rich ideas t supprt its pints.
C.AI beat Harish Natarajan in the first test.
D.AI needs mre persuasive arguments in debates.
15.What is Nam Slnim’s attitude t the AI?
A.Supprtive.B.Uncnfident.
C.Negative.D.Indifferent.

Hw t becme a scientist

Be diligent and persevere.It’s been said that jbs in science are the lwest paid in the US.What this is getting at is that because f the lng path t success,fr a while yu wn’t be living lavishly(豐富地). 2
Have the need t always keep learning. 3 Whether it’s reading peer-reviewed jurnals,attending seminars,r wrking tward getting yurself published,yu’ll always be learning.
4 In thse years f waiting fr results,yu need t cnstantly be lking fr the smallest changes in what yu expect t see.Yur eye needs t be fcused and ready at all times.
Think differently.Think back t Newtn’s apple falling n his head r Archimedes’ jumping int his tub and displacing water.Mst peple wuld think nthing f these events,but these men saw smething else,smething n ne else was seeing at the time. 5
A.Observatin skills are als necessary.

Ⅰ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是應(yīng)用文。文章的主要目的是推薦牛津和劍橋之旅。
1.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章What Included部分的“Luxury air-cnditined buses”可知,旅行的交通工具是豪華空調(diào)大巴,因此C項正確。
2.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章Please Nte部分的“Bkings made after midnight fr the same day will nt receive a free lunch pack.”可知,午夜后預(yù)訂當(dāng)天的票,午餐將不獲贈,因此A項正確。
3.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Christ Church部分的“Christ Church is recgnisable as ne f the majr lcatins fr the Harry Ptter films!”可知,Christ Church是《哈利·波特》電影的主要拍攝地之一。
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。研究人員通過調(diào)查研究發(fā)現(xiàn)長頸鹿的數(shù)量在減少,并發(fā)現(xiàn)偷獵和缺乏食物是長頸鹿數(shù)量減少的原因。
4.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“I am always amazed hw easily we can spt warthgs and ther small animals,yet we smetimes have truble seeing giraffes.Giraffes are slender in shape,and they may nt thrw a gd shadw”可知,要在空中發(fā)現(xiàn)長頸鹿很難,因為它們身型纖細(xì),可能不會投下好找的影子。
5.D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段可知,研究人員是通過研究調(diào)查幼年長頸鹿的存活情況,來研究獅子和長頸鹿的關(guān)系的。
6.D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知,Dr.Strauss通過提高當(dāng)?shù)厝说沫h(huán)保意識來幫助長頸鹿。

9.C 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文提到的“she really desn’t want t g back t days when she abused it,wasted time,stayed up all hurs f the night n it”可知,Mugdan在參加挑戰(zhàn)之前常常濫用手機(jī),浪費時間,整夜不睡,故推知 Mugdan曾對社交媒體沉迷,故選C項。
10.D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)本段的主題句“But nt having access t her smart phne really made certain situatins a lt harder than she culd have imagined them befre.”以及她說的話可知,本段想表達(dá)沒有智能手機(jī)讓她很難擺脫某些困境。
11.C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知,Elana Mugdan已經(jīng)堅持了八個月不用智能手機(jī)了,再有四個月就可以獲得大獎,所以她還沒得到這個大獎。
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。11月21日,劍橋辯論學(xué)會迎來了首位非人類嘉賓。由美國國際商用機(jī)器公司(簡稱IBM)設(shè)計的“Prject Debater”是個能夠使用人工智能進(jìn)行辯論的機(jī)器人,它甚至能夠聆聽并提出反駁,就像真人一樣。
12.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“It can even listen and answer t ppsing statements,much like a real persn.”可知,它能夠聆聽并提出反駁,就像真人一樣,故選A項。
13.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第五段中提到:辯論開始前,IBM官網(wǎng)上收到了1 100多條關(guān)于人工智能利弊的論據(jù)。這款機(jī)器人隨后對這些來源進(jìn)行了分析,并在數(shù)分鐘內(nèi)形成了其論點的基礎(chǔ)。然后,“Prject Debater”通過為正反兩方辯論展示了其人工智能的技術(shù),故選C項。
14.D 推理判斷題。最后兩段提到:《新科學(xué)家》雜志認(rèn)為,在這兩次辯論中,“辯論家計劃”的論點都有重復(fù),其論據(jù)也并非總是充分有力。該項目的首席工程師諾姆·斯洛尼姆在接受《劍橋獨立報》采訪時表示:“人工智能并不完美,但它的方向是正確的?!睘楦倪M(jìn)人工智能,團(tuán)隊對人類為何能找出更有說服力的論點進(jìn)行了研究。故選D項。
15.A 推理判斷題。最后一段提到:為改進(jìn)人工智能,團(tuán)隊對人類為何能找出更有說服力的論點進(jìn)行了研究。可見Nam Slnim對于人工智能是支持的,故選A項。
Ⅱ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是說明文。文章就如何成為科學(xué)家提供了幾點建議。如:要有好奇心;要有耐心;要勤奮并持之以恒等。
1.B 根據(jù)“要成為科學(xué)家需要很長的時間”可知,B項“攀登事業(yè)階梯要有耐心”可作為本段的小標(biāo)題。
2.C 上文提到“這是因為在通往成功的漫長道路上,有一段時間,你不會過著奢華的生活”。由此可知,有一段時間情況可能很艱難,C項符合語境。
3.F 本段的小標(biāo)題是“要不斷的學(xué)習(xí)”。F項“實際上每個科學(xué)家所做的都是尋找知識”與標(biāo)題語意相符。
4.A 根據(jù)下文的“在等待結(jié)果的那些年里,你需要不斷地尋找你期望看到的最小的變化”可知,當(dāng)科學(xué)家觀察的技巧是必要的,所以用A項作小標(biāo)題。
5.G 本段的小標(biāo)題是“要有不同的思維方式”。G項“要想在人類知識上取得進(jìn)步,你必須有不同的思維方式”可與標(biāo)題相呼應(yīng)。
