The use of AI in digital bioacoustics now helps scientists better understand non-human communication. Karen Bakker, a professor in Canada, discusses how technology can help humans communicate with other species（物种）. 　　An example of AI’s use in digital bioacoustics is communication with bees. Researcher Tim Landgraf studied bee communication and found that both their body movements（移动）, as well as their sounds, matter. He has used this information to build a bee robot called RoboBee. It can go into a honeycomb and give orders that the bees will actually follow. 二 三 一 四 五 11 　　The use of AI in digital bioacoustics helps scientists understand non-human communication. It also raises questions about the d... between humans and non-humans, such as how animals use sounds to share information while humans use words. It is opening up new ways to think about protecting living things and our relationship with the planet. It’s pretty meaningful. 31. What does digital bioacoustics mainly study？ A.

People believe that seeing magpies can bring them good luck. It’s said that magpies would form（组成） the bridge in the sky for Niulang and Zhinü on the Qixi Festival so that they got to get together once a year. As a result, magpies stand for true love and happiness too. 　　Magpies have black and white feathers with slightly（稍微） blue tails. With their special “chachacha” sounds from early morning till night, it is not difficult for birdwatchers to notice them. You can always see them talking on the roof or in the branches. 二 三 一 四 五 15 　　Magpies have some very interesting living habits. They always live around humans, because they mainly live on the food we throw away. In winter, many magpies turn to a more plant-rich diet. Their diet includes around 60% vegetables. Sometimes they may look for food on the ground but not eat it right away. Instead, they will save the food for the future. 　　Even more surprising, they will stay around the dead birds and make sad sounds. It is just like they are holding a funeral（葬礼）. All these unbelievable things lead some people to believe that magpies may be the cleverest of all birds. 36.
