But in recent years, without being artificially introduced into the area, this rare bird has started to make a home in this crowded part of Central London.The black redstart i
28、snt the only unexpected species of wildlife to start living in urban landscapes. Moths, butterflies, woodpeckers and even serotine bats, more commonly found in the countryside, have also been on the rise in this part of London. These changes are the result of increasing efforts to transform urban ar

36、sswork out of fire prevention? For more than a year, the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) has been doing just that. Using a data tool called FireCast 2.0, it has been prioritizing (排序) which ones of the hundreds of thousands of buildings in the city are at the highest risk of having a fire. The so
37、ftware applies an algorithm from five city agencies, taking into account as many as 20 different risk factors.It wasnt that long ago, in fact, that even a fire department as sophisticated (配备精良) as FDNY was keeping track of buildings in card catalogues in local fire houses. Each structure would have
38、 its own card with basic information on itwhen it was built, construction materialsand from that, company commanders were expected to determine which buildings were to be inspected. Building inspections were a key part of fire prevention in cities like New York, and that, as you might suspect, wasnt
39、 a very efficient way to handle them. Usually, the FDNY struggled to meet its annual goal of inspecting 10 percent of the 330,000 buildings in the city for which it was responsible. But FireCast2.0 has already simplified that process, allowing the department to more accurately target the most firepr
40、one buildings, many of which havent been inspected for years.The FDNY is pleased with the big advance it has made in whats known as “smart firefighting”, but its only a first step. Later this year, the department is expected to upgrade to FireCast 3.0, an even more powerful tool that will analyze th
41、ree years data from 17 different city agencies for every one of the 330,000 buildings. Each will be given a fire risk score. But that list will be updated daily if a building receives a trash violation, for instance, its score may rise on the next days list. Compiling( 汇 集 ) the data from all those
42、buildings will take only 90 minutes, according to a report from the National Fire Protection Association.A very different approach to the future of firefighting was unveiled (揭露) recently by the U.S. Office of Naval Research. Its an 18pound robot named SAFFIR, and it was designed by engineers at Vir
43、ginia Tech to put out fires where theyre most dangerous. During a recent test, SAFFIR was able to find fire through thick smoke and extinguish the flames. Maybe more impressively, it displayed its sea legs, able to stay upright on a rolling ship. That, according to SAFFIRs designers, may have been t
44、heir biggest challenge.SAFFIR still struggles to navigate doorways and stairwells. In the test, in fact, its movements were controlled by a human. While it will likely be paired with a human for some time, SAFFIR may eventually be able to move and make decisions on its own.32. According to the passa

To predict places that are more likely to catch fire.33. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. The FDNY doesnt
46、keep track of buildings in card catalogues.B. The FDNY is only responsible for inspecting buildings in New York.C. The FDNY has failed to meet its annual goal of building inspections.D.

50、is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Snoopy-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory. 38 For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover.
