B DonnaJean Wilde,58-year-old Canadian mother of five and grandmother of 12,has set the new world record for the longest abdominal plank(平板支撙)ever held by a woman after holding the same position for 4 hours,30 minutes and 11 seconds,surpassing the previous record holder by 10 minutes.She broke age stereotypes and pushed her physical limits to accomplish this incredible achievement. CS扫描全能王 3亿人慧直用的日暗ADP "My elbows hurt badly,"said Wilde,who beat the world record at the high school she worked at as vice principal."I was so worried about losing my form and I think that's why my quadriceps(四头肌)hurt because I was on edge(紧张不安) in the process."She said the last hour was the most challenging part,but she was able to overcome it by breathing and staying calm.By doing so.she prevented any trembling or shaking that could have compromised her performance.All 12 of her grandchildren attended the event,which she trained for by planking three hours every day. "I realized that I could read and do things when I was planking and fell in love with it,"she added,noting that she studied for a master's degree and would sometimes watch movies while training.She said she has been planking for at least ten years already and got into it after she broke her wrist and was unable to run or lift weights for a while. What's even more impressive about her setting the new world record,though, is that she did it while suffering from transverse myelitis(横贯性脊髓炎).That chronic pain and numbness that she deals with every day has helped her to be able to plank through the pain."I think the model for someone who has done a world record is officially amazing,but she's been officially amazing her whole life,"said Randy,her husband. 24.What do we know about Wilde's achievement of abdominal plank? A.She has set a new nauonal record. B.She is the person holding the.longest. C.She held it over four and a half hours. D.She beat the last record by 11 seconds. 25.How did Wilde feel throughout the challenge? A.Suspicious.(怀疑的) B.Tens. C.Relieved. D.Disntissive.(鄙视的) 26.What made Wilde take up abdominal plank? A.Her age.B.Her hobby. C.Apetition.D.An injury. 27.What did Randy want to convey in the last peragraph? CS扫描全能王 3亿人慧直用的日暗ADP A.Wilde has always been excellent. B.Wilde is content with the new record. C.The record is surprising for her health. D.The new record is Wilde's biggest deal. C What do you get when you paint a pair of eyes on a cow's rump(臀部)？The answer is that you'll get an approach to scaring predators away.This simple trick is called the "i-cow"solution.The eyes painted on cows'rumps can trick certain predators,such as lions and leopards. An experiment by Australia and Botswana compared how predators reacted to herds that had eye paintings on their rumps.ones that had "xs",and some without any paintings at all.Over a four-year period,researchers found that 15 out of the 835 unpainted cows were killed by predators,4 of the 543 cows with"xs" died,but every single one of the 683 animals with eye paintings on their rumps was still alive. Neil Jordan,a biologist in Australia,first came up with the method.While watching a lion hunting a deer,he noticed something interesting."Lions usually move slowly and quietly to their prey,get close and jump on them.But when the deer noticed the lion and the lion realized it had been seen,it gave up on the hunt," he said.Later,he worked with a local farmer to test his idea over a period of 10 weeks,and like the most recent results,all of the cows with painted eyes survived. Despite the positive results,Dr.Jordan says the method isn't a sure solution. He says if farmers painted eyes on the backsides of all their cows,predators might finally figure out that the eyes aren't real.Therefore,further research should be done to prove whether it is effective. In spite of this,he's still hoping that the "i-cow"will become a widely used technique to at least reduce predator's attacks."I think the farmers are just happy with this,"Dr.Jordan says."After all,all they need is a paint pat,paint brush and a little bit of artistic talent." 28.What is“i-cow”solution intended for? 6 CS扫描全能王 3亿人善在用的归障Ap时 A.Protecting cows from being attacked.B.Leading predators to the farm. C.Training cows to notice predators. D.Recognizing cows quickly. 29.What do we know about the experiment in paragraph 2? A.Most of the unpainted cows wcre killed. B.The cows with "eyes"on the rump survived. C.A small number of cows with "xs"survived. D.More than twenty painted cows were killed. 30.What might be a cause of the "i-cow"solution's failing to work? A.Predators perceive the tricks.B.Predators get close to the cows. C.There is more than one predator.D.The farmers lack basic painting skills. 31.Why does Dr.Jordan think that farmers will favor his method? A.It is a widely recognized approach.B.It follows their traditional practice. C.It is easy and cheap to carry out.D.It has proved the most effective. D The human brain is made up of billions of cells called neurons(神经元)， which are connected by vast "neural networks"that allow us to learn about the world.Neurons are like small pieces of snow:they look the same from a distance but on further inspection it's clear that no two are exactly alike.By contrast,each cell in an artificial neural network-the technology on which artificial intelligence (AD is based-is identical,with only their connectivity varying.Despite the speed at which AI technology is advancing,their neural networks do not learn as accurately or quickly as the human brain. Researchers set out to study whether simulating (the brain by varying neural network cell properties could improve learning in Al.They found that the variability (in the cells improved their learning and reduced energy consumption.When they changed the amount of variability in the simulated networks,they found that the ones that performed best matched the amount of variability seen in the brain,suggesting that the brain may have evolved to have just the right amount of variability for best possible learning. Dr.Dan Goodman said,"Evolution has given us incredible brain functions, 7 CS扫描全能王 3亿人想直用的日暗AD中 most of which we are only just beginning to understand.Our research suggests that we can learn vital lessons from our own biology to make AI work better for us." To carry out the study,the researchers focused on adjusting the "time constant'"(时间常数)一that is,,how quickly each cell decides what it wants to do based on what the cells connected to it are doing.After varying the cells'time constants,they gave the network jobs:to classify images of clothing and handwritten digits,to recognize human gestures,and to identify spoken digits and commands.The results show that by allowing the network to combine slow and fast information,it was better able to solve tasks in more complicated,real-world settings. Current AI systems are far from achieving the level of energy efficicncy that the researchers find in biological systems.Next,they will be interested in looking at how to reduce the energy consumption of these networks to get AI networks closer to performing as efficiently as the brain. 32.What can be leamned about neurons from paragraph 1? A.The neurons allow us to learn about the world. B.The human brain is made up of billions of neurons. C.The human brain is made to learn quickly by neurons. D.The neurons are like small pieces of snow in the shape. 33.What can be inferred about learning in AI? A.It is as effective as biological systems. B.It is more efficient than the human brain. C.It consumes less energy than the human brain. D.It performs best with the right amount of variability 34.Why did researchers adjust the "time constant"? A.To simplify the complicated real-world tasks. B.To rccord the networks'energy consumption. C.To help the network process slow and fast information. D.To cnhance the nctworks'performance in complex tasks. 35.What wil the researchers focus on in the near future? 8 CS扫描全能王 3亿人慧直用的日暗AD单 A.The values of AI networks. B.The functions of human brains. C.The efficiency of AI networks.D.The evolution of human brains. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项 中有两项为多余选项。 Test anxiety exists and is a common problem among students. 36 When you're stressed and anxious during an exam,your mind has a tendency to go completely blank.Here are some tips on how to reduce or overcome test anxiety. Get to know the material First,you need to know the topic of the exam.37.Knowing as much as possible about the material can get you ready for the test.As to any exam,learn your material thoroughly.Memorize what needs to be memorized and understand what needs to be understood.
