1、考点规范练32.阅读理解AEach year,hikers and mountain bikers get lost or injured in the wilderness.Search and rescue efforts can involve 20 or more people.But a new “smart” drone(无人机) can follow hiking trails(小路) without a pilots assistance.This could allow rescuers to search more efficiently.Scientists outfit
2、ted a craft with a single camera.As the drones “eye”,the camera pointed forwards.But having an eye wasnt enough.The drone also needed a “brain” to understand what it was seeing.And that brain would have to recognize what constitutes a trail.Camera images,however,can be very difficult for a computer
3、to interpret,study leader Alessandro Giusti notes.So he and his team used photos of forest trails to train their drones neural network(神经网络).They attached three GoPro cameras to a single headband.One camera pointed straight forward.The other two were directed 30 degrees to the right and left of the
4、centre.A hiker put the package on and then hit the trails in a forested part of Switzerland.Over several weeks,the cameras recorded a total of 8 hours of video covering 7 kilometres of trails.The researchers then divided the video into individual still images to train the neural network.The network
5、learned to identify what a trail looked like.The team then tested the program with unused images from the video.The computer did a slightly better job than the people had in correctly classifying the images.This meant the drone was ready to navigate the real world on its own.Giusti and his team took
6、 their new “smart” device to a forest with trails that had not been used in the drones training.It flew along the path,constantly adjusting its direction based on the images coming in through its camera.The drone didnt perform as well in real-life as it did in the lab,Giusti admits.Thats because the
7、 drones camera took lower-quality images than the cameras that had been used to train it.As a result,the images being taken by the drone looked different,he explains.This confused its neural network.“Its an exciting use for neural networks,” says Christopher Rasmussen,a computer-vision scientist who
8、 was not involved with the study.“However,the problems faced in the experiments show that there are still some important issues to be worked out.”1.The “smart” drone has been created in order to help .A.find travelers who get lostB.ensure the safety of travelersC.deliver necessities to travelersD.sh

11、universities may soon have a new tool to help fight crime.A California company called Knightscope says its robots can predict and prevent crime.Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope.He says,“The
12、se robot security guards will change the world.Our planet has seven billion people on it.Its going to quickly get to nine billion people.The security equipment that we have globally is just not going to develop that fast.The companys Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enfor

15、ternet.Eugene Volokh,a law professor at the University of California,says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in the US.Workers in the company a
16、re working overtime to meet the demands of the market.At least 25 other countries are also interested in these robotic security guards.5.What can this new tool do for humans?A.Make strategic decisions.B.Keep watching day and night.C.Carry heavy weapons.D.Stop crime autonomously.6.Why are people worr

18、y Robots Could Help Cut Crime.七选五阅读Which is much more significant to you when you are finding a job?Working experience or an advanced degree?Well,I believe diverse people have different answers.1Here are some reasons:Above all,most of jobs dont require such a high degree,which means just some work,s
19、uch as theoretical physics,archaeology,or literature,needs high academic qualification.2For example,when you are offering a department manager post,and there is a man who has already been a manager for three years but only has a masters degree and an inexperienced person with a doctors degree,which
20、one would you choose?Definitely the first one for the manager who doesnt acquire a doctors degree but has rich working experience.3 For instance,Bill Gates,who was the richest man in the world and one of the most successful merchants.What a wise choice when he decided to abandon studying so that he
21、could gain more working experience instead of a doctors degree!Or Steve Paul Jobs,who discontinued his study at the age of nineteen in order to become a member of a computer company just like Bill Gates.45Maybe you shouldnt have to gain an advanced or high degree,but that doesnt mean nothing.Probabl
22、y a bachelors degree is still necessary in this fiercely competitive society.All in all,I think rich working experience is much more important than an advanced degree.A.However,a degree is still required for most people.B.Meanwhile,rich working experience will draw more attention.C.Secondly,plenty o
23、f experience will bring you success much earlier.D.In my view,either working experience or an advanced degree counts.E.As for me,I will say working experience without hesitation.F.As a matter of fact,more people with rich working experience become successful.G.From all of these,we can see that an ad
