14、e supporter of the organization made a major gift to undertake a long-desired study to understand both the needs of the community and the financial feasibility （可行性）for senior housing. As a result, The Mustard Seed Project had a meeting in November at the Key Peninsula Civic Center to explain the re
15、sults of the study and to plan for the next steps. “Well be applying for a predevelopment loan to do all the necessary planning, ”The Mustard Seed Project Executive Director Edie Morgan said. “Were aware of affordable loans for the assisted living section of the project, and can get standard financi

They erupted with cheers. By the time of the crews discovery, 73 years had passed since the ship sank. Several missions had set
20、 off to look for it, including a 1977 one led by Ballard. In the early 1980s, Ballard asked the U. S. Navy to fund the development of the Argo, an unmanned camera sled that could be dragged behind a surface ship at depths of up to 20, 000 feet. The Navy were interested in using the Argo to survey th
21、e wrecks （沉船）of the U. S. S. Thresher and Scorpion, two nuclear submarines （潜水艇）that had been lost in the North Atlantic. They eventually agreed that if Ballard could successfully locater and map the two subs he could use whatever time left to look for Titanic. While photographing Thresher and Scorp
22、ion, Ballard noticed that the current had carried debris （碎片）from the ships as they fell to the seafloor, treating a long chain. With this in mind, he decided not to search for Titanics main body. Instead, he would use Argo to search for its much larger debris track, which might stretch as far as a
23、mile. Once he found it, he could use it to track down the ship itself. With the new approach, after a few days, they discovered the boiler. Argo stalked the debris track, and the following morning, Titanics bow came out of the inky depths. The Titanic lies now in 13, 000 feet of water, Ballard said
24、at a press conference, There is no tight at this great depth and little life can be found. It is a quiet and peaceful place-and a fitting place for the remains of this greatest of sea tragedies to rest. Forever may it remain that way. ”28. Why did the Navy support the development of the Argo?A. To d

What is the purpose of Ballards statement at the press conference?A. To share the exact position of Titanic. B. To advocate leaving Titanic undisturbed. C. To laun

DIn a new study, Iowa Psychologist Ed Wasserman gave the pigeons complex categorization tests that high-level thinking would not aid in solving. Instead, the pigeons, by trial and error, eventually were able to memorize enough situat
28、ions in the test. This basic process of making associations-considered a lower-level thinking technique-is the same between the test-taking pigeons and the latest AI advances. The researchers sought to figure out two types of learning: one declarative learning, is based on exercising reason accordin
29、g to a set of rules or strategies-a so-called higher level of learning owned mostly by people. The other, associative learning, centers on recognizing and making connections between objects or patterns, such as “sky-blue” and “water-wet. ”Wassermans team designed a difficult test to find out whether
30、 the pigeons use declarative or associative learning. Each test pigeon was shown a stimulus （刺激）and had to decide, by pecking （啄） a button on the right or on the left, to which category that stimulus belonged. What made the test so demanding was that no rules or logic would help finish the task. The
31、y have to memorize the individual stimuli or regions from where the stimuli occur. Over hundreds of tests, the four test pigeons eventually upped their score from 50% to an average of 68% right. The pigeons are like AI masters Wasserman says. “Both of them employ associative learning, and yet that b
32、ase-level thinking is what allowed the pigeons to ultimately score successfully. ”If people were to take the same test, theyd score poorly and would probably give up because they rely so heavily on rules or strategies. Those rules would get in the way of learning. The pigeon doesnt have that high-le
33、vel thinking process. But it doesnt get in the way of their learning. In fact, in some ways it facilitates it. “People are stunned by AI doing amazing things using a learning algorithm （算法）much like the pigeon, Wasserman says, “yet when people talk about associative learning in humans and animals, i
34、t is discounted as inflexible and uncomplicated. ”32. Which of the following is a typical example of associative learning ?A. Tom refuses to put hands on hot doves after burns. B. Dolphins detect obstacles using sound waves. C. Chimpanzees use physical gesture strategies. D. Emily figures out math p
35、roblems with logic. 33. How did the pigeons/improve their performance in the test?A. By pecking the stimuli. B. By finding rule or logic. C. By competing with each other. D. By making numerous attempts. 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. AI and man use the same learning pattern. B. Ass
36、ociative learning is underestimated. C. People think highly of declarative learning. D. Pigeons finish tasks with AI algorithms. 35. Which can be a suitable title/or the text?A. Pigeons Peck Can Mirror High TechB. AI Contributes to a New Learning PatternC. AI Can Enrich Human Learning ExperienceD. P

38、. But does distraction really help deal with emotions? Or does it merely worsen the problem? _37. In some ways it can help, and oftentimes distraction avoids the root of the problem.

40、d states that last days or months, although most emotions only last a few minutes before they pass. Thats why, if youre seeking long-term solutions, learning to process emotions is the only way. When you slow down and make space for your emotions, you can start to process them. Jacobs Hendel, a psyc
41、hotherapist, uses a process, which involves connecting your feet to the floor, deep belly breathing, slowing down and then identifying where different emotions are felt in the body. _40 -once anxiety goes down, you can identify the other emotions that are coming up in your body. If the same emotions
