In an effort to stop poaching (偷獵) and protect endangered species, people are using technology previously created to discover stars.Claire Burke, who led the project, says the application of the star-hunting tech has so far paid off big for conservation.“Since animals and humans in thermal imagery (熱成像) ‘glow’ in the same way as stars in space, we have been able to combine the technical expertise of astronomers with the conservation knowledge of ecologists to develop a system to find the animals or poachers automatically,” she said in a statement.
In addition to species identification, the software can also provide an overview of health.Burke said that diseased or injured animals give off a different thermal imagery than the healthy ones.“The real advantage this gives you is that if you know how many animals you have and where they are and what kind of health they are in, then you can work out a good conservation strategy for looking after them,” she said.
The following is a post written by Burke on Twitter: More animals for the thermal imagery library.Thanks to Chester Zoo Science @ScienceatCZ for letting us observe their fantastic creatures.Images are giraffes, Indian elephants, and fruit bats.— Claire Burke (@CBurkeSci) October 27, 2017.
To train the software on a wide variety of heat signatures from different species, the team of researchers spent time collecting thermal imagery of animals.Their first field trial to detect Riverine rabbits, one of the most endangered mammals in the world (with only 500 living adults left in the wild), was a complete success.“The rabbits are very small, so we flew the drone (無(wú)人機(jī)) quite low to the ground at a height of 20 meters (65 feet).Although this limited the area we could cover with the drone, we managed to see the rabbit five times,” said Burke.“Given that there have only been about 1,000 times people have seen Riverine rabbits, it was a real success.”

Some pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic, according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study, published in the journal Biology Letters, is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal, influencing judgment.
Asher, a researcher at the University of Newcastle's Institute of Neuroscience, and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft, deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks, the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.
“To do this, we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets — pigs love them — and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans, which pigs find bitter-tasting,” a researcher said.
Over a number of training trials, pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary, they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.
The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations, to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside, showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others, however, behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans, displaying pessimism.
The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people, there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.
5.What was the study trying to figure out?
A.How to make pigs happier.
B.The similarities between humans and pigs.
C.How living environment affected pigs' mood.
D.How pigs' mood and personality affected their judgment.
解析:選D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句“The study, published in the journal ... influencing judgment.”可知,選項(xiàng)D正確。
6.What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Simple. B.More comfortable.
C.Unpractical. D.Less free.
解析:選B 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫(huà)線詞后的“more space and plenty of soft, deep straw”可知,另一個(gè)環(huán)境很舒適。所以選項(xiàng)B正確。
7.What do the findings of the new research imply?
A.People should treat pigs equally.
B.People's health relies on meat quality.
C.People should meet pigs' various needs.
D.People's attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.
解析:選C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段尤其是最后一句可推知,要想獲得高質(zhì)量和口感好的豬肉,人們應(yīng)當(dāng)滿(mǎn)足豬的多種需要。所以選項(xiàng)C正確。

Recently, my teenage son gave me a great insight into my writing career. He plays the online multiplayer game Minecraft, in which players build vast structures while battling the occasional zombie at night.
“How do you win the game?” I asked him.
He rolled his eyes, the way only teens can.
“There is no winning the game, mom,” he said. “It's about the experience. It's all about the journey.”
Well said, Evan. I so often forget this truth.
In writing, there is no arriving. There's always the drive to write a better article, blog post, poem, or novel, next time. There is no “done”.
What sights do you want to see on your journey? Where do you want to be sure to go? These are the questions I'm asking myself as I consider my plans for next year.
If we've written well, what we leave behind will be part of our legacy, hopefully helping others long after we're gone. I find that thought comforting.
You could make your way to new signatures in magazines, or even to new places on the map. I have a friend who was flown to Denmark to meet with Lego because they liked his writing. I recently read about a woman whose writing got her a position in Singapore from Coca-Cola.
So here's a writing journey for all of us that's full of breathtaking sights, unexpected turns, wonderful friends, and opportunities to grow and improve our craft.
As we enter the new year, I'm going to try to remember my writing-career focus — the places I want to be sure to visit on my way. Most of all, I'm going to work on letting go of my feelings of “falling behind” or not being “there” yet, and try to enjoy every moment of my wonderful writer's life.
語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇議論文,主要論述了寫(xiě)作重要的不是結(jié)果,而是過(guò)程,我們應(yīng)享受寫(xiě)作過(guò)程中的每一刻。

10.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.My Smart Son
B.My Writing Career
C.The Writing Journey Matters
D.My Son Teaches Me Much
解析:選C 標(biāo)題歸納題??v觀全文可知,兒子的話使作者領(lǐng)悟到寫(xiě)作過(guò)程才是最重要的,并且她打算今后要珍惜寫(xiě)作過(guò)程中的每一刻。C項(xiàng)“寫(xiě)作過(guò)程很重要”概括了文章大意,適合做標(biāo)題。故答案選C。
