Scientists in Australia have used AI to help find a rare (罕见的) bird called the Plains-wanderer. This will help protect the birds, as there are not many left.
The Plains-wanderer lives in Australia’s grasslands. But it is very picky about its “home”. There can’t be too much grass or too little.
The birds were once common in eastern Australia. But that has changed. As grasslands have been turned into farms and cities. Scientists believe there are now only 250 to 1,000 left in the wild.
The birds are only about 15 cm tall. They are not good at flying, so they spend most of their time on the ground. When they feel scared, they hide or run away instead of flying.
Scientists say there is no other bird like it in the world. In fact, it is so special that it has its own “family”. Another interesting thing is that the female (雌性的) birds are bigger and are in charge of protecting the home, while the smaller males (雄性) take care of the eggs. The females are also more colourful.
To protect the birds, scientists first had to find where they live. Because the birds are hard to see, a team decided to “listen” for them instead. The females make a special “Ooom” call, and this is the key to finding them.
The team set up 35 sound recorders in nine different areas. The recorders collected too much sound for people to listen to. So, the team used AI to find the bird’s call.
The AI found the bird’s call at two of the areas. Scientists checked and found that the AI was right. This is the first time in over 30 years that the bird has been found west of Melbourne. The team will keep listening, hoping to find more of these special birds.
12. Why is the Plains-wanderer becoming rare?
A. Grasslands have been turned into farms and cities.
B. They are killed by other animals.
C. They get serious illnesses easily.
13. What do the male Plains-wanderers do?
A. They protect their home.
B. They take care of the eggs.
C. They make loud calls.
14. What does the underlined word “picky” probably mean?
A. hard to please B. easy to find C. difficult to fly
15. What can we infer (推测) from the passage?
A. The Plains-wanderer is good at flying.
B. It is not easy to notice the small bird in the wild.
C. The bird has many similar family members.

A new AI system can be used to make predictions on crop yields (产量) up to six months before harvest. The tool counts flowers on fruit trees, which can help farmers improve crop yields and make better use of their resources such as water and labor.
The system was developed by researchers at the National Robotarium in Edinburgh (爱丁堡). It can count the number of flowers on fruit trees from photos taken by a smart phone. It works by recognizing (识别) features, such as the edges (边缘) and shapes of flowers. In Spain, studies on peach trees showed the system to be 90% correct in flower counts, which is much better than the 30% to 50% mistakes made by humans, according to researchers.
“In countries all across the world, farmers often depend on traditional methods to predict their yields, which can lead to big mistakes. The flower-counting AI can help farmers make wise decisions about crop management. So farmers can use resources well, protect the environment, get better and more fruit by working hard.” said Fernando Auat Cheein, a professor at the National Robotarium. He praised the flower-counting AI was really correct and helpful.
The researchers will compare the AI’s predictions with the actual peach harvest this year. If these predictions are effective (有效的), the new AI system ________________ such as apples, pears, and cherries, helping fruit growers in Britain, Europe, and other areas.
41. What is the purpose of the new AI tool?
_______________________
42. How can the AI system count the number of the flowers from photos?
_______________________
43. What can farmers do with the help of the flower-counting AI from paragraph 3?
_______________________
44. What did Mr. Cheein think of the flower-counting AI?
_______________________

A new AI system can be used to make predictions on crop yields (产量) up to six months before harvest. The tool counts flowers on fruit trees, which can help farmers improve crop yields and make better use of their resources such as water and labor.
The system was developed by researchers at the National Robotarium in Edinburgh (爱丁堡). It can count the number of flowers on fruit trees from photos taken by a smart phone. It works by recognizing (识别) features, such as the edges (边缘) and shapes of flowers. In Spain, studies on peach trees showed the system to be 90% correct in flower counts, which is much better than the 30% to 50% mistakes made by humans, according to researchers.
“In countries all across the world, farmers often depend on traditional methods to predict their yields, which can lead to big mistakes. The flower-counting AI can help farmers make wise decisions about crop management. So farmers can use resources well, protect the environment, get better and more fruit by working hard.” said Fernando Auat Cheein, a professor at the National Robotarium. He praised the flower-counting AI was really correct and helpful.
The researchers will compare the AI’s predictions with the actual peach harvest this year. If these predictions are effective (有效的), the new AI system ________________ such as apples, pears, and cherries, helping fruit growers in Britain, Europe, and other areas.
41. What is the purpose of the new AI tool?
_______________________
42. How can the AI system count the number of the flowers from photos?

Keep Trying and Be Better
I used to be weak in English. I often failed exams and felt sad and discouraged.
However, I didn’t give up. I kept trying by listening to English songs and reading short stories every day. It was hard at first, but I never stopped practicing even when I felt tired.
Slowly, my English improved a lot. I even won a small prize in the school speech contest last term.
