They then made a computer program that could identify(识别) elephants within the images Dr Olga Isupova, from the University of Bath, told the BBC, "We could train the machine to see small details that we wouldn't be able to pick up with our eyes." Usual ways of counting elephants are to fly above them in the planes or get humans to count the animals on satellite images. This can be difficult. because elephants are hard to be seen wher they are among trees or tall grass. It takes a long time and mistakes can be made. The new technology means elephants can be counted more correctly and the work is much faster. The computers can do the same amount of counting in a few hours by the new technology instead of humans' monthly work. Clouds still are a challenge, because they can block (挡) the satellites' view. Luckily though, most places where the elephants live do not have much cloud The researchers say the new technology can help to save elephant populations from being hunted because it is easier to find where the elephants are and so plans can be made to protec them. 25.What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The.elephants B. The images C. The satellites D. The researchers 26. How does the writer organize Paragraph 3? A. By giving examples B. By comparing facts. C. By listing numbers D. By telling stories. 27. Which one of the following is true about the new technology? A. It will miss the elephants among trees B. It collects images taken from planes C. It takes less time to do the counting D. Clouds are not a problem for it at all 28. What is the best title for the text? A. Plans to Stop Hunting Elephants B. A New Technology of Counting C. Protecting Elephants from Space D. Growing Populations of Elephants 第4页 扫描全能王 创建 C Should children do housework? Different people have different ideas. Some parents will say that their children are too busy for housework. Other parents will ask their children to do housework, but the housework doesn't get done. That's a problem. Doing housework is good for children. Doing housework helps them develop an awareness of the needs of others. One small study, done over a period of 25 years, found that whether young adults will succeed in their mid-20s depend on whether they took part in housework tasks at the age of 3 or 4. Those who early shouldered responsibilities developed a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives But few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1.ooo American parents 75 percent said they believed doing housework made kids "more responsible". Yet only 36 percent of those said they required their children to do housework Sports and homework are not the bousework-free reasons. The goal, after all, is to raise a kind of adults who can balance a caring role in their families and communities. Housework teaches that balance. What should you do when getting children to do housework? Never accept their excuses Don't worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you're spending more time getting the child to do housework than it would take to do it yourself, then you're doing it right. Can a payment help? I don't think so. If you're trying to teach kids to shoulder the responsibility of a home, paying them for housework is not the right choice 29. Whom is the text probably written for? B. Children. C. Students. A. Parents D. Teachers. 30. What can be found from the smallstudy? A. Doing housework develops a sense of responsibility. B. Doing housework can help people to live a happy life C. A person's success depends on the kind of housework. D. A person must start doing housework at the age of three 31. What does the writer advise parents to do in the last paragraph A. Do housework by themselves B. Pay the children to do housework C. Balance housework and study D. Get the children to do housework 32. What can be the best title for the text? A. Parents Shoulder Responsibility B. Children Need More Housework C. Housework Marters to Childrer D. Adults Must Do Less Housework 第5页 扫描全能王 创建 D ①When we hear the name Leonardo da Vinci, most of us probably think Leonrdn △ Vine of his famous paintings the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
