1、Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes.
This brain-inspired AI model can perceive moving scenes by simulating how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize small changes over time.
To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals' brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles' (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles' neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various "puzzle pieces" of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene.
Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models.
Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. "We've also made AI far less demanding," says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect.
Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet's ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. "By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren't possible with traditional AI," says Cline, "Biology is a gold mine."
(1)、What does the underlined word "simulating" mean in paragraph 2?A、Copying. B、Inspiring. C、Demonstrating. D、Recognizing.(2)、MovieNet is trained ________.A、to integrate dynamic images B、to increase visual inputs C、to feed on information pieces D、to look into tadpoles' neurons(3)、According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet?A、Its powerful data storage. B、Its low energy consumption. C、Its control of medical diseases. D、Its improvement on drug effects.(4)、What can be concluded from Cline's words in the last paragraph?A、Biology brings us financial profits. B、Living organisms can outperform AI. C、AI can assist in biological development. D、Drawing inspiration from biology is promising. -
2、More than 20 years ago, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea: what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer? What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better? No one had done it before. Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn't let the idea go.
Now, in a landmark moment in cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng's Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale's library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice.
What followed were years of additional testing of the drug's effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates.
All they need now are larger data sets. When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.
It has been a long journey, but if Cheng and his team are successful, it could create a new approach to treating cancer. They called the new approach "WE" medicine, a combination of Western medicine and Eastern medicine. "It's a totally new model. I've met with a lot of doubt, but think the results will speak for themselves," Cheng said.
(1)、What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng's research?A、Creative. B、Comprehensive. C、Conventional. D、Challenging.(2)、Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts?A、She wanted to question ancient treatment methods. B、She desired to find inspiration for treating diseases. C、She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs. D、She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses.(3)、What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A、Steps of the drug testing. B、The application of YIV-906. C、Effects of the clinical trial. D、The effectiveness of YIY-906.(4)、Why does the author mention Chinese herb qinghao?A、To illustrate the value of botanical drugs. B、To advocate the adoption of "WE" medicine. C、To praise Tu's contributions to drug development. D、To highlight its success in medicine development. -

A tall man in a top hat with bushy whiskers entered the Bank of England. After tricking a clerk to leave, the attacker soundly the cashier who had barely him. This incredibly straightforward alarmed all London. But the criminal vanished with all the money as if a grain of sand was swallowed by the sea.
Meanwhile at the Reform Club, Flanagan slapped down a while remarking that was "absolutely stunning." Phileas Fogg disagreed, in response.
When Stuarts insisted detectives would catch the robber, Fogg calmly said that the thief had already escaped and suggested he could reach Paris, Egypt, or even circle the globe in eighty days using modern transport. Flanagan laughed, challenging Fogg to attempt the himself for £1,000.
Fogg unfolded the possibilities mentally before raising the wager to £20,000 so that when he won, he would at least be. A sudden silence fell as Sullivan doubted whether Fogg had his senses. Flushing pink, Flanagan accepted the.
Fogg stood up, announcing he would return precisely eighty days later. With his top hat secured, he disappeared into the October night, leaving the men his mental state.
