Trygve Olav Fossum and his colleagues at the Norwegian firm Skarv Technologies created a 45-kilogram underwater robot equipped with stereo(立体)cameras,while researchers at Ecotone, another firm in Norway,produced a spectrometer(光谱仪)that can identify the material that an object is made of even through meters of dark water. The robot searches the seabed at a distance of 2 meters,tracing a neat route up and down in rows like a machine pulling across and turning over the soil in a field,collecting data as it goes and marking it on a map using GPS readings.An AI model,which was trained on 28,000 images of underwater items that had all been accurately described,then takes the images and data from the robot's survey and classifies them.This information can be turned into color-leveled maps that are valuable to clean-up operations. In a bay in Bergen,Norway,called Store Lungegardsvann,the team identified a total of3894 objects and classified them into categories:bottles,including glass ones,plastics,anchors,tyres, metal and other items.The group also added a category for starfish,creating the bonus ofsurveying these animals in the bay. Olav Fossum says the problem of identification is made more difficult because objects tend to be partially buried in the seabed but mapping out the most dangerous material is essential to make the most of clean-up efforts by human divers.“Glass isn't really polluting.So,if you know there's an area with a lot of glass,you probably can exclude that from the clean-up effort and focus on things that are putting heavy metals into the environment,"Olav Fossum adds. 28.What is the primary function of the robot? A.To inspect the undersea pollution. B.To dispose of underwater rubbishes. C.To identify different types of waste. D.To reduce cost of underwater cleaning. 29.How does the robot scan the seabed? A.Following the GPS-based route. B.Analyzing the makeup of objects. C.Copying an agricultural practice. D.Taking advantage of an AI model. 30.What can be inferred from the bay survey in Bergen? A.It added marine ecological side-benefits B.It checked up thousand types of trashes. C.It included glass bottles into clean-up efforts. D.It focused on making out the number of bottles. 31.What challenge does the robot face in identification? A.Glass is excluded from the category. B.The materials are dangerous to survey. C.Human divers invest too many efforts. D.Things are incompletely visible to scan. 3 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 D The trend of shared real living space is expanding in various global cities,and it is particularly being welcomed by younger individuals such as Generation Z.Given how the current housing prices in urban centers are going up,the co-living trend might just be the pocket-friendly answer many young home-seekers are looking for. While the idea of sharing space with others as a way of saving money is nothing new.The co-living is a concept that differs from the notion(观念)of “having roommates”.Private bedrooms,combined with common space shared with other people,are what these two brands of housing share. However,the way co-living differs from the traditional roommate arrangements is that the former comes with personal leases(租约).In contrast,the latter comes with a master lease all residents are covered with.Co-living is,in fact,a cut-down version of roommate arrangements that only keeps its good parts while removing the bad ones. Another advantage of this rental arrangement is the ability to spend more on experiences instead of paying for living in a larger home.And if there is something Millennials and Gen Zers are known for,they tend to value experiences over material possessions,and sharing living space is a great way to promote such a lifestyle and focus on things that matter most. Whether it is the appeal of the larger cities that attracts them or the fact that they landed ajob that requires moving to a densely populated area,making new connections in a big city may come as a challenge to Millennials and Gen Zers and can bring them more anxiety.Sharing rented living space can eliminate this feeling as it instantly provides you with an opportunity to meet new people and develop long-lasting relationships. While the co-living concept is being accepted by young individuals worldwide,many are still unfamiliar with how co-living really works.Therefore,it doesn't come as a surprise that some people would be concerned about their privacy and safety.However,we can see this particular housing model gaining popularity in times to come. 32.How is the co-living different from “having roommates”? A.The co-living means having a common space. B.The co-living needs separate individual leases. C.“Having roommates”offers more private space. D."Having roommates"is a new concept of sharing. 33.What may contribute to the popularity of co-living? A.The increasing world population. B.People's need to share with others. C.The drop in young people's income. D.Young people's values on lifestyle. 34.Which can replace the underlined word “eliminate”in paragraph 5? A.Hide. B.Discover. C.Remove. D.Strengthen. 35.What is the best title of the passage? A.The Advantage of the Co-living B.The Rising Trend of Co-living C.The Popularity of Energy-saving Housing D.The Appropriate Living Style in the Future 4 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) We're social animals and people have been working in groups from the beginning of time. 36 So,if you've struggled to check boxes off your to-do list or achieve your goals,you might benefit from a trustworthy buddy(伙伴)or group.
