课时作业 巩固提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2024·云南昆明“三诊一模”教学质检)In Takoma Park,Maryland,in suburban Washington,people,adults or students,lined up at a pay phone outside a restaurant several times a week.
“Once I put the phone out there,it just took off,” said David Schulman,a Takoma Park violinist who created the Bird Calls Phone.Listeners push 1 to hear a yellow-crowned night heron (夜鹭),7 to hear a pileated (有羽冠的) woodpecker's call and 9 for the distinct scream of a red-tailed hawk.Instructions about how to use the phone are in three languages:English,Spanish and Amharic—a reflection of Takoma Park's Ethiopian community.In all,10 birds native to the Takoma Park area are featured.
Studies show in addition to being fun,listening to birdsong can reduce stress and anxiety.Even hearing recordings of birds can relieve negative emotions.
After noticing an abandoned,nonworking pay phone in town,Schulman wondered if he could turn it into something appealing.He said,“I really like the old technology of just picking up a receiver,pressing one button and having something happen.” Schulman thought bringing bird sounds to the abandoned phone was a way to add a bit of nature to the neighborhood.
Takoma Park city officials agreed,and they budgeted $5,000 to complete the project.Schulman reached out to the Macaulay Library in Ithaca,New York,which agreed to send him a few dozen recordings of native birds.He then managed to gain the help of Branden Hall,a software engineer and artist,to rewire the phone to play different bird calls.Schulman said he persuaded several of his friends to record short descriptions of each bird to go with the calls.
“One thing I like about the Bird Calls Phone is that it's the opposite of a loud broadcast,” Schulman said.“Only one person can listen at a time,and each person will take away their own unique experience.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。小提琴家David Schulman创造了“鸟叫电话”,人们通过按电话按钮就能听到不同的鸟叫,从而起到缓解压力的作用。

(2024·山东济南一模)A new study reveals that pigeons (鸽子) can tackle some problems just like artificial intelligence,enabling them to solve difficult tasks that might challenge humans.Previous research has theorized that pigeons employ a problem-solving strategy,involving a trial-and-error approach,which is similar to the approach used in AI models but differs from humans' reliance on selective attention and rule use.To examine it,Brandon Turner,a psychology professor at Ohio State University,and his colleagues conducted the new study.
In the study,the pigeons were presented with various visual images,including lines of different widths and angles,and different types of rings.The pigeons had to peck (啄) a button on the right or left to indicate the category to which the image belonged.If they got it correct,they received food; if they were wrong,they received nothing.Results showed that,through trial and error,the pigeons improved their accuracy in categorization tasks,increasing their correct choices from about 55% to 95%.
Researchers believed pigeons used associative learning,which is linking two phenomena with each other.For example,it is easy to understand the link between “water” and “wet”.“Associative learning is frequently assumed to be far too primitive to explain complex visual categorization like what we saw the pigeons do,”Turner said.But that's exactly what the researchers found.
The researchers' AI model tackled the same tasks using just the two simple mechanisms that pigeons were assumed to use:associative learning and error correction. And,like the pigeons,the AI model learned to make the right predictions to significantly increase the number of correct answers.For humans,the challenge when given tasks like those given to pigeons is that they would try to come up with rules that could make the tasks easier.But in this case,there were no rules,which upsets humans.
“What's interesting,though,is that pigeons use this method of learning that is very similar to AI designed by humans,” Turner said.“We celebrate how smart we are that we designed artificial intelligence; at the same time,we regard pigeons as not clever animals,” he said.

解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Previous research has theorized that pigeons employ a problem-solving strategy...To examine it,Brandon Turner...and his colleagues conducted the new study.”可知,Brandon Turner和他的同事之所以开展新的研究,是为了验证之前研究提出的理论。故A项正确。

解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The pigeons had to peck a button on the right or left to indicate the category to which the image belonged.”可知,科学家们希望鸽子可以啄左右按钮来确认图像所属的类别,也就是说,科学家们希望鸽子能够识别图像。故D项正确。
