11、l animals, they are actually artworks made out of plastic trash from the ocean.These artworks are part of a traveling exhibit called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by the artist called Pozzi, works to raise awareness about plastic pollution in Earths oceans.More

12、 than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the worlds oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves,

13、the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces.Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be mo

20、o to make your journey safer when you are in the air.Fly on non-stop routesMost accidents occur during the take off, climb, descent and landing period of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complicated procedures.Choose larger aircraftAlthough small aircrafts have very good s

21、afety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply（遵守 ）with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircrafts provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.Pay a

22、ttention to the pre-flight safety briefing（簡報）The information may seem to be repeated, but its worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you have flown before, it doesnt mean you know everything about the aircraft youre on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.Store things

23、safelyNever put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during the violent movements of air caused by the wind.Keep your seat belt fastened while you are seatedCabin crew al

24、ways tell you this, but its important. You could be seriously injured if the plane hits the violent movement of air unexpectedly. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.Let the flight a

25、ttendant pour your hot drinksFlight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.1、What is the general reason for these air safety rules?AWha

29、y, three months after a male robot joined the profession.Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relax-and her reactions change-as she continues reading. Thats why many news anchors we

30、re worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?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 o

31、f human muscle movement samples. And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the Al news anchor reads, the micro -electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.Yet we need a thorough knowledge of deep leaning technology to make a robot imitate a p

32、ersons 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

33、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 programsBoth the technologies used to make Xins performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third -the technology to match the pronunciations wi

34、th facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don t always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human. Actually. AI is still no match for human qualities.1、What does the underlined wo

35、rd reluctant in the first paragraph mean?ADelighted.BUnwilling.CConfused.DOptimistic.2、What can we infer about previous news robots?AThey read news without expressions.BThey looked like a human beingCThey could interview sports starsDThey could interact with audience.3、What do we know about the thir

36、d technology?AThis technology is very perfect so farBThis technology is quite popular nowCThis technology remains at the theoretical stageDThis technology is far from mature.4、From the last paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that_.Ahuman news anchors should learn from AT anchors to save their jobsB

37、Al anchors perform much better than human news anchors at presentCAl news anchors won t replace human news anchors in the near futureDXin Xiaomeng s expressions vary so naturally that they are true to life24（8分） The world is too big to take in all at once.

38、 look at a small part at a time.In using a camera, you choose a small part through he view finder. You move the camera, “framing” pictures until you see one that pleases you. Then-click!

39、pher Ernst Haas, “you are surrounded by pictures. The trick is to recognize them.” His photograph of a twist of barbed wire shows what he means.Mr. Haas tells us of ways to practice seeing. Make a simple frame of black cardboard. Take it out of the doors and look through it at everyday things, large

40、 or small, far away or near.At first you may see nothing to interest you. But soon pictures seem to leap (跳) at you through the frame. Oil floating on water makes a picture in rainbow colors. Three people on the steps of an old house form a picture that seems to tells a story.Did you notice such thi

41、ngs before you used the frame? Perhaps not. But, with practice, you soon do not need its help. You see things as artists do. Everywhere, shapes and colors catch your eye. Your mind takes “snapshots (快照)” of their patterns. Then, if you wish, you can share what you see by taking a photograph or by ma

42、king a drawing or a painting.Sometimes its fun to “see small”. Did you ever notice the design of the seeds in sliced bananas? Have you looked deep inside a lily? Or seen the starburst in the center of a wet ice cube?Do you see colors as they really are? When you paint tree trunks, you would make the

43、m brown or black. But tree trunks are really gray, purple, yellow-greenalmost any color except brown or black!Do you notice detail? Doing so can be in many ways. Remembering what you see is often useful, too. Practice can help you.A trick for helping you to remember detail is the double take. Lookdo

47、n Keller. “How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf,you were able to achieve so much?”Ms.Kellers answer is a tribute（致敬）to her kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan,the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”According to speaker Zig Ziglar,Ann

48、ie Sullivan was no stranger to hardship.She was almost sightless herself and was,at one time,diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” by her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution.Occasionally,Annie would violently attack anyone who came near.Most of the time she generally ignored

49、 everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope,however,and she made it her work to show love to the child.Every day she visited Annie,and she left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement.She believed Annie could recover,if only she were shown love.Eventually,doc

50、tors noticed the change in the girl.Where they once witnessed anger and hate,they naw noted a gentleness and love.They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve.Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to

51、help others as she,herself,was helped by the kind nurse.It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller.She loved her,disciplined（約束）her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon（燈塔）of light to the world.Anne Sullivan worked

52、 wonders in Helens life;but in was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan,the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse
