American professional athlete Colin O’Brady and British Army Captain Louis Rudd set off a mile apart at the same time on November 3, 2018, from the Atlantic coast with the aim to become the first person to ski across the remote continent alone.Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first. However, O’Brady caught up with Rudd on November10 and never let the British man get close to him again. O’Brady was the first to conquer the 930 mile icy land, arriving at the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific coast by way of the South Pole on December 26, 2018. The 33-year-old spent 54 days skiing the world’s coldest continent while pulling a 300-pound sled(雪橇) with supplies.Instead of leaving the harsh environment after completing the historic adventure, the explorer set up a tent on the world’s largest ice sheet and waited patiently for Rudd to complete the great undertaking. On December 29, just three days after O’Brady arrived, the British explorer finished his adventure, becoming the world’s second person to complete the solo casing of the frozen continent.Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a “race”. Besides, the 49 -year-old British Army Captain had a more selfless motive for attempting the feat. He was doing it in memory of his friend Henry Worsley, who had introduced him to polar exploration. The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the conti nent alone in 2016. Rudd said, “I didn’t want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I completed it, and that I skied solo and unsupported, carrying the tag withHenry’s name on it.”After spending a few days camping 10 feet away from each other, the two adventurers were picked up bya helicopter to the South Pole scientific research station.24. What do Colin O’Brady and Louis Rudd have in common?A. They became the first explorers to cross Antarctica alone, unaided.B. They became the first adventurers to ski across Antarctica.C. This is the first time that they have arrived at the South Pole.D. They crossed Antarctica in honor of their friend Henry Worsley.25. What do you know about the first leg(第一段赛程) of the race?A. O’Brady skied along with Louis Rudd side by side.B. O’Brady’s sled with food supplies broke down.C. Louis Rudd lost the tag with Henry’s name on it.D. O’Brady fell behind Louis Rudd for the first week.26. What can we infer about Henry Worsley?A. He used to encourage O’ Brady to explore the Antarctic.B. He lost his life in a terrible traffic accident in 2016.C. He died while he was attempting to cross the Antarctic alone.D. He helped Louis Rudd complete the historic adventure.27. How did the two adventurers return to the South Pole scientific research station?CDolphins, African gray parrots and some other anima ls understand the idea of “zero”, but researchers were surprised to find that honeybees also comprehend this abstract concept, considering the insects’ tiny brains, according to a new study. Honeybees have fewer than one million neurons (神经元), compared with the 86 billion neurons in humans — and yet, they grasp a concept that humans, by some measures, don’t start to understand before preschool.The researchers set up two cards, each of which had a set of symbols on them, like triangles or circles. Then, they trained a group of the bees to fly to the card with the lower number of symbols. The bees quickly learned what the humans wanted them to do to get their delicious, sweet rewards. The trained bees were then shown a card that was empty and one that had symbols on it. There is no need for the bees to be trained to fly more often to the empty card—thus showing that they understood that “zero” was a number less than the others.Although they flew more often to an empty card than to one that had one symbol on it, it became easier for them to distinguish when the symbols on the card increased in number. For example, they more often flew to the zero when the other card had four symbols than when it had one.“Perhaps these findings will explain the brain mechanism (机制) behind what allows us to understand the concept of nothing,” Adrian Dyer, a researcher said. This understanding, in turn, could help in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that also understands this concept. “If bees can underst and ‘zero’with a brain of less than a million neurons, it suggests there are simple, efficient ways to teach AI new tricks,” Dyer said in the statement.28. What is a surprising finding for the researchers?A. Many animals also comprehend the meaning of “zero”.B. The number of neurons of honeybees is much smaller.C. Honeybees can understand “zero” with their tiny brains.D. Humans fail to recognize abstract ideas before preschool.29. What can the bees do without further training?A. Fly directly to the card with more symbols on it.B. Fly less often to the card with fewer symbols on it.C. Fly quite slowly to the card without anything on it.D. Fly more often to the card without any symbol on it.30. What does Adrian Dyer say about these findings?A. They offer inspiration to the development of technology.B. They enable people to understand more abstract concepts.C. They suggest ways to teach humans some complex tricks.D. They allow people to set a new type of brain mechanism.31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Honeybees know about the concept of “zero”.B. Honeybees can understand much as humans do.C. Honeybees will help to improve AI in the future.D. Honeybees can be trained to comprehend “zero”.DGoogle’s new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子)，but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, isintended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.On board the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot — like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.“This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced” Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.32. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?A. It allows of hands-free photography.B. It enables easy internet access.C. It is equipped with tough glass.D. It can be worn on your clothing.33. What does the underlined word “candid”, in Paragraph 2 mean?A. touching.B. brief.C. unforgettable.D. embarrassing.34. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?A. The advance in technology.B. The popularity of the Internet.C. The rise of the smartphone industry.D. The reduction in the price of lens.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday LifeB. New Gadgets in the Age of AppsC. A New Digital Camera from GoogleD.
