五项全练 高 一 14 Test 3 阅读理解第 部分一 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Artifi cial intelligence (AI) could help stop one of the biggest dangers to the Great Barrier Reef (大 堡礁 ), amazingly saving huge areas of coral ( 珊瑚 ) from a harmful starfi sh. Google has teamed with scientists from the CSIRO to create AI software that could pick out the dangerous starfi sh, which is one of the natural wonder’s three biggest killers. The new way, using footage ( 镜头 ) from an underwater camera to recognize starfi sh outbreaks on the Queensland reef, takes the place of an old method and early results show as well as cutting down man’s work, the new software has the advantage of correctly picking out more of the dangerous life on coral, stopping damaging outbreaks before they occur. Professor Russ Babcock, an expert with CSIRO, said Google’s AI technology, developed over 18 months, could be trained to fi nd out starfi sh more easily than the old method developed in the 1970s. “We used to send out divers to count the starfi sh one by one. Now we just look at the images collected and the program can fi nd 20 at a time,” he said. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said he was excited about the company’s effort put into the reef project. “We have put a lot of effort into the engineering in Australia and we will continue to do more work around AI there,” he said. “There are other good ideas about the technology and you will see us build on it. Our goal with our AI research teams is to strike partnerships with other groups, like universities and governments, to give its full play.” Professor Babcock said the AI software, which would be put into use on other reefs worldwide, was not the only solution to the starfi sh affecting the Great Barrier Reef, but one that could have a wide application. ( ) 1. What advantage does the AI technology have over the old method? A. It is less likely to break down. B. It can be started more quickly. C. It costs less for its developm
