D No one can say whether human-like robots will have a sweet dream,but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits like what sleep provides to living brains, according to a new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory(LANL). “We study spiking neural networks(脉冲神经网铬)，which are systems that learn much as living brains do,"said Yijing Watkins,a computer scientist from LANL."We trained a neuromorphic(神经形态的)processor in a way how humans and other biological systems learn from their environment during childhood development Watkins and ber research team found that the network simulations()became unstable after continuous periods of unattended learning.When they exposed the networks to states that are analogous to what living brains experience during sleep.stability was recovered "It was as though we were giving the neural networks a good night's rest,"said Watkins. The discovery came about as the research team worked to develop neural networks that are as close as how humans and other biological systems learn to see.The group initially struggled with stabilizing simulated neural networks undergoing unattended dictionary training,which involves classifying objects without providing examples to compare them to. The researchers expose the networks to an artificial simulation of sleep as nearly a final effort to stabilize them.They experimented with yarious types of noise.The best results came when they used waves of so-called Gaussian noise.These waves can make sure that the neural networks keep stable. The group's next goal is to apply their algorithm()to Intel's Loihi.a product which uses spiking neural networks to work.They hope allowing Loihi to sleep from time to time will enable it to stably process information from a camera in real time.If it can confirm the need for sleep in artificial brains,we can probably expect the same to be true of human-like robots and other intelligent machines that may come about in the future. 【高二期中考试·英语卷第5页（共8页）】 6312B 32.What do Watkins and her research team find? A.Neural networks are stable. B.Artificial brains may need rest as well. C.Neural networks are very sensitive to noise. D.Human-like robots need equal rest to humans. 33.What does the underlined word "analogous"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Similar. B.Beneficial. C.Contrary. D.Related. 34.Why will the researchers apply the algorithm to Loihi? A.To better update Loihi. B.To enable Loihi to run faster. C.To further confirm their discovery. D.To make sure Loihi get enough sleep. 35.In which section can we probably find this text? A.Joy &Education. B.Business &Industry. C.Medicine &Care. D.Computer &Science. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 How to Remember What You Read Reading is important.But the next step is making sure that you remember what you've read!36 You may have just read the text.But the ideas,concepts and images may fly right out of your head.Here are a few tricks for remembering what you read. ●37 If the plot,characters,or word usage is confusing for you,you likely won't be able to remember what you read.It's a bit like reading a foreign language.If you don't understand what you're reading,how would you remember it?But there are a few things you can do...
