In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct,
researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records.
Today,most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos,vid-
eos,and other digital records.Though they are useful for detecting shifts
in the number and variety of species in an area,a new Stanford study has
found that this type of record is not perfect.
"With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observa-
tions of different species with the aid of a mobile application,"said Barn-
abas Daru,who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of bi-
ology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences."These obser-
vations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical speci-
mens(标本),and since we are increasingly using observational data to
investigate how species are responding to global change,I wanted to
know:Are they usable?"
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants,insects,
birds,and animals,Daru and his team tested how well these data repre-
sent actual global biodiversity patterns.
"We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of
sampling that tend to bias(使有偏差)data,like the greater likelihood of
a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the
grass right next to it,said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only re-
cords did not lead to better global coverage.Moreover,these data are bi-
ased and favor certain regions,time periods,and species.This makes
sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mo-
bile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with
species in areas nearby.These data are also biased toward certain species
with attractive or eye-catching features.
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?
“Quite a lot,”Daru explained..“Biodiversity apps can use our study
results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places-
and even species-that are not well-sampled.To improve the quality of
observational data,biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an
expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food.However,most
produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds
of miles before reaching the table.While farmer's markets are a solid
choice to reduce the journey,Babylon Micro-Farm(BMF)shortens it e-
ven more.
BMF is an indoor garden system.It can be set up for a family.Addi-
tionally,it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital,restaurant or
school.The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable
weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically,it's a farm that relies on new technology.By connecting
through the Cloud,BMF is remotely monitored.Also,there is a conven-
ient app that provides growing data in real time.Because the system is
automated,it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow
plants.Rather than watering rows of soil,the system provides just the
right amount to each plant.After harvest,users simply replace the
plants with a new pre-seeded pod (to get the next growth cycle
started.
Moreover,having a system in the same building where it's eaten
means zero emissions (from transporting plants from soil to
salad.In addition,there's no need for pesticides and other chemicals that
pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives.About

Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives,we all
need to take action to deal with our Al-powered future,and this is where
AI by Design:A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.
This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap
addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution
革)
In the wrong hands such a book could prove as complicated to
process as the computer code (that powers AI but,thankfully,
Campbell has more than two decades'professional experience translating
the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of
a business person rather than as an academic,making for a guide which
is highly accessible and informative and which,by the close,will make
you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design,AI is already super-
smart and will become more capable,moving from the current
generation of "narrow-AI"to Artificial General Intelligence.From there,
Campbell says,will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why
【8-3】
Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several
decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it
is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence,or risk being
sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the tech-
nology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all
the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a "tipping
point"in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event
for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with AI to
pan out.Such structured thinking,followed by global regulation,will
enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all,and if you only read one book on the subject,
this is it.
9.What does the phrase "In the wrong hands"in paragraph 2 probably
mean?
A.If read by someone poorly educated.

C.It provides step-by-step instructions.
D.It is intended for Al professionals.
11.What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?
A.Observe existing regulations on it.
B.Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D.Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
12.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To recommend a book on AI.

中选出最佳选项。
Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways.For instance,
almost all animals have distinct vocals (that they rely on to either
ask for help,scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter.But
cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills.They
are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and
you're able to interpret it.If a pet cat is hungry,it will keep meowing to
attract attention and find food.However,when a cat is looking for affec-
【8-4】
tion,they tend to produce stretched and soft meows.Meowing starts as
soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's atten-
tion and be fed.
Cats have many heightened senses,but their sense of smell is quite
impressive.They use their noses to assess their environment and look
out for any signs of danger.They will sniff out specific areas before they
choose a place to relax.However,another way the cats are able to distin-
guish between situations is by looking for familiar smells.Your cat will
likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to rec-
ognize you in the future.That's why most pet cats are able to tell imme-
diately if their owners were around any other cats,which they don't usu-
ally like.
Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit,but cats take
this behavior up a notch.Many cats will find random objects outside and
bring them to their owners.This is a very old habit that's been present in
all kinds of predators(食肉s动物).Cats bring gifts for their owners to
show they love you.These adorable little hunters are just doing some-
thing that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time.So just go
along with it!
13.What can be learned about cats'meowing from the first paragraph?
A.It's a survival skill.
B.It's taught by mother cats.
C.It's hard to interpret.
D.It's getting louder with age.
14.How does a pet cat assess different situations?
A.By listening for sounds.
B.By touching familiar objects.
C.By checking on smells.
D.By communicating with other cats.
15.Which best explains the phrase "take...up notch"in paragraph 3?
A.Perform appropriately.
B.Move faster.
C.Act strangely.
D.Do better.
16.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.Tips on Finding a Smart Cat
B.Understanding Your Cat's Behavior
C.Have Fun with Your Cat
D.How to Keep Your Cat Healthy

The Saint Lukas train doesn't accept passengers-it accepts only the
sick.The Saint Lukas is one of five government-sponsored medical trains
that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia.Each stop lasts
an average of two days,and during that time the doctors and nurses on
【8-5】
board provide rural (populations with basic medical care,X-ray
scans and prescriptions.
"People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morn-
ing,"says Emile Ducke,a German photographer who traveled with the
staff of the Saint Lukas for a two-week trip in November through the
vast regions()of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia.
Russia's public health care service has been in serious need of mod-
ernization.The government has struggled to come up with measures to
address the problem,particularly in the poorer,rural areas east of the
Volga River,including arranging doctor's appointments by video chat
and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice
medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.
The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve
the situation.For 10 months every year,the train stops at about eight
stations over two weeks,before returning to the regional capital to
refuel and restock().Then it starts all over again the next month.
Most stations wait about a year between visits.
Doctors see up to 150 patients every day.The train's equipment al-
lows for basic checkups."I was very impressed by the doctors and their
assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused
and very concerned,"says Ducke."They were the best chance for many
rural people to get the treatment they want."
17.How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains?
A.It runs across countries.
B.It reserves seats for the seniors.
C.It functions as a hospital.
D.It travels along a river.
18.What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk?
A.It is heavily populated.
B.It offers training for doctors.
C.It is a modern city.
D.It needs medical aid.
19.How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply?
A.About a year.
B.About ten months.
C.About two months
D.About two weeks.
20.What is Ducke's attitude toward the Saint Lukas'services?
A.Appreciative.
B.Doubtful.
C.Ambiguous.
D.Cautious.
