The special bionic devices（仿生设备）let the 79-year-old pianist play with both hands for the first time in more than 20 years.By his retirement（退休） last March, Martins had received 24 medical operations to try to reduce pain caused by a disease and from a series of acci
17、dents.

18、tins hands. The gloves help move his fingers up after they press（按） on the piano keys. Costa said he created early models based on images of Martins hands, but he said those models were not good. He then decided to tell Martins about his work. Costa and Martins then spent several months testing seve
19、ral kinds of models. Finally, the perfect model came in December, and cost only $125.These days, Martins never takes off his new gloves, even when he goes to sleep. Martins said, “I have received more than 100 devices in the last 50 years. None of those devices worked well or long enough, but these

23、ing.CA new study shows that the increased heat from Arctic（北极的） rivers is making sea ice in the Arctic Ocean gradually disappear. The study published this week in Science Advances was led by the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology, together with other scientists in the United States
24、, United Arab Emirates, Finland and Canada.According to the research, the main Arctic rivers bring more heat to the Arctic Ocean than they did in 1980. River heat is one of the reasons that cause sea ice loss of the Arctic Ocean. That loss is equal to about 120,000 square miles of 1-meter thick ice.
25、 “If Alaska were covered by 1-meter thick ice, 20% of Alaska would be gone,” explained Igor Polyakov, a researcher at the University of Alaska Fairbanks International Arctic Research Center.Rivers have the greatest influence during spring. The warming water pours into the ice covered Arctic Ocean an
26、d spreads below the ice, slowly destroying it. Once the sea ice melts（融化）, the warm water makes the temperature go up. The research found that much more river heat energy entered the air. Since air is mobile, this means river heat can influence areas of the Arctic far from river deltas（三角洲）.The infl
27、uence was the most prominent in the Siberian Arctic, where several large rivers go into the Arctic Ocean. Canadas Mackenzie River is the only river large enough to contribute to sea ice melt near Alaska, but the states smaller rivers are also a source of heat.Polyakov says that rising global air tem
28、peratures will continue to warm Arctic rivers in the future. As rivers heat up, more warm water will flow into the Arctic Ocean, melting more sea ice.28. What does the increased heat from Arctic rivers cause?A. Dry weather in the Arctic.B. A strange disease in the Arctic.C. The death of fish in the
29、Arctic Ocean.D. The gradual loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.29. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Alaska will disappear.B. Theres more and more sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.C. 10% of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean melts each year.D. Arctic rivers bring more heat to the Arctic Ocean.30. What does
30、 the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Generous.B. Obvious.C. Famous.D. Important.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Arctic Rivers Will DisappearB.

Globally there are plenty of countries where they speak two languages that arent English,” says Angela Fan of Facebook AI, who led the work.For some language pairs, the new system sh

For example, translating from Spanish to Portuguese is extremely strong because Spanish is the second-most spoken first language worldwide, meaning the researchers can get a lot of data. Translation between English and Belarusian also is improved beca

35、 160 languages, “Future work will be done on other languages,” says Fan, “especially for languages where we dont have a lot of data, like South-East Asian and African languages.”“The work breaks away from the English-centric models and tries to build more different models”, says Sheila Castilho of t
36、he ADAPT Centre at Dublin City University, Ireland. “Thats pretty new and different. But its hard to know if the AI does a right translation work.” says Castilho. “The users may not know the other language, so they cannot judge the correctness of the translation.”32.
