19、 in order to communicate with her better. The little girl is just so charming and adorable that its hard not to want to be able to have simple conversations with her.In the United States, about two to four of every 1,000 people are functionally deaf-about 2 million people. Around 28 million American
20、s, 10% of the population, have some degree of hearing loss. Around 500,000 deaf people: in the country use American Sign Language(ASL), and its the third most commonly used language in the US; many hearing people are also fluent in ASL. With so many people using ASL, its only right that Savitzs neig
21、hbors learn the language, not only for her but also to be able to communicate with other deaf people.Located at the end of Islington Road in Newton, Massachusetts, this little neighborhood is absolutely charmed by one little girl. Savitz is a super engaging girl, and she loves interacting with peopl
22、e in her community. She is delighted when they are able to sign with her. However, she gets really sad when they cant understand her when she tries to communicate with them. Because of this, Savitzs neighbors collectively hired an instructor for ASL classes. With the help of their instructor, Rhys M
23、cGovern, the neighbors are able to help Savitz feel a sense of belonging.What the neighbors did for this little girl is wonderful because she will grow up being well-adjusted in society. Instead of feeling separated because no one outside of her family will understand her, Savitz will be accustomed
24、to constantly interacting with different people. Her family is so thankful that they are fortunate to have such caring and compassionate neighbors. Savitz calls her neighbors friends, and accurately so.Other than speaking with the darling of their neighborhood, the residents of Islington Road will a
25、lso be able to communicate with any other deaf person they encounter. We are really enjoying the whole process, not only the learning of ASL, but the learning together, says McNeil, one of Savitzs neighbors. Its made our neighborhood a closer place.24.

29、them to a full-body boogie(布吉舞). But, whatever it is, the way we dance to a beat is so noticeable to an individual that a computer can now identify us by our unique dancing fingerprint.Researchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research at Finlands University of Jyv skyl have been using m
30、otion capture(动作捕捉)technology to study what a persons dance moves say about his or her mood, personality, and ability to sympathize. They recently made an accidental discovery while trying to see if an ML machine, a form of artificial intelligence, would be able to identify which kind of music was p
31、laying based on how the participants of the study were dancing. In their study, the researchers motion captured 73 participants with the AI technology while they danced to eight different music genres: electronica, jazz, metal, pop, rap, reggae, country, and blues. The only instruction the dancers w
32、ere given was to move in a way that felt natural.But what it could do was more shocking. The computer was able to correctly identify which music one of the participants was dancing to 94 percent of the time, regardless of what kind of music was playing, based on the pattern of a persons dance style.
33、 It was the movement of participants heads, shoulders and knees that were important markers in distinguishing between individuals. It seems as though a persons dance movements are a kind of fingerprint. Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is p
34、laying, said Pasi Saari, a co-author of the study, in a release.Its possible that dance-recognition software could become something similar to face-recognition software, but it doesnt seem as practical. For now, researchers say that they are not as interested in possible surveillance(监视) uses of thi
35、s technology, but rather what the results of this study say about how humans respond to music. So dont worry about being identified at nightclub by an AI via your signature dance moves yet.28.

36、ccustomed to the beat.C. Identify the music using dancers moves.D. Check the accuracy of motion capture technology.29. What might not help the AI technology determine a dancers identity?A. Head movement. B. Foot movement. C. Knee movement. D. Shoulder movement.30. What do researchers want to use the
37、 results for?A. Putting it on the application market.B. Programming it to work at nightclub.C. Learning about the human response to music.D. Developing a software like face-recognition.31. What can be the best title of the text?A. A music style matters less than its beat.B. New AI can generate your
38、next dance move.C. A dance-recognition software will become more popular.D. New AI can identify you by your dancing fingerprintDMany wildflowers of spring in eastern North America bloom thanks to ants. The tiny six-legged gardeners have partnered with those plants and about 11,000 others to spread t
39、heir seeds. The plants, in turn, pay for the service by attaching a calorie-loaded appendage(附属物)to each seed, much like fleshy fruits remunerate birds and mammals that desert seeds or poop(排泄)them out. But theres more to the ant-seed relationship than that exchange, researchers reported last week a
40、t the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America, which was held online.Many ants eat seeds. Certain plants attach a nutritive globe called an elaiosome to their seed coats, which serves as a favorite lunch for the ants young and gives ants a handle on seeds that can be bigger than their he
41、ads. Until now, researchers assumed the ants simply carry the seeds to their nests, feed the elaiosome to their young, and deposit the seed either outside or inside at the colonys garbage dump, which provides a rich environment for shooting.In both the field and the lab, Chelsea Miller presented ant
42、s with seeds from various trillium(延龄花)species and found the ants were quick to pick up some species seeds while leaving others to rot, Miller said. To find out how ants make their choices, Miller and Susan Whitehead at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) used tec
43、hniques to analyze the chemical makeup of elaiosomes. They found that ants pick seeds based on the specific combination and concentrations of acid and other compounds(化合物)made by the plant, 20 of which are unique to trilliums. The ants tastes may affect plant species distributions, says Kirsten Prio
44、r, an ecologist at Binghamton University: Widespread trillium species are preferred by seed-dispersing ants compared to rare trillium species.Melissa Burt, an ecologist at Virginia Tech, hopes these studies bring ants new respect. Many people that I talk to about ants only know them as insects that
45、are taking over their kitchens, but many ants perform important functions in ecosystems, she says. Seed dispersal is just one of those.32. What does the underlined word remunerate probably mean?A. Attract. B. Track. C. Free. D. Reward.33. What does the text say about elaiosome in paragraph 2A. Its a
46、 tasty treat for young ants. B. Its no smaller than ants heads.C. It is used as young ants new nest. D. It can be used as a weapon to protect ants.34. Why did Miller and his team figure out the chemicals of some seeds?A. To analyze the specific combination affecting the plant growth.B. To find out t
47、he reason for ants preferring some seeds to others.C. To prove the accuracy of their lab techniques applied in the field.D. To understand the way of ants distributing different plant species seeds.35. What do most people think of ants according to Melissa?A. Annoying. B. Greedy. C. Creative. D. Hard

When someone misuses a substance(物质)for a period of time, like cocaine, their body goes into a physiological state of withdrawal when they stop using it. Naidoo, a mood-food expert at Harva
52、rd Medical School, says that people who are consuming high amounts of sugar in their diets can similarly experience the physiological sensation of withdrawal if they suddenly stop consuming sugar.4.
