When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors, how do they know who's who?
In the past, scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them. But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
A research team from China's Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province.
Similar to human facial recognition, the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database that includes every monkey, Xinhua reported. "When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will automatically recognize the monkeys, name them and analyze their behavior," said Zhang He, a member of the research team. "For each snub-nosed monkey, we have 700 to 800 image samples, and the recognition success rate is 94 percent," Zhang added.
"We used mobile phones and portable cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters," said He Gang, a member of the research team and an associate professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. "There is no need to interfere with the monkeys. Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive."
Compared to humans, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces. The color of their hair causes them to blend into their environment. These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.
"Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do. It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them, which are needed to improve the system," said Li Baoguo, leader of the research team.
Currently, there are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain. The team's goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.
(1)、What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys according to the text?A、How to mark them. B、How to distinguish them. C、How to understand their behavior. D、How to observe them clearly(2)、What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys?A、It is now widely adopted in China. B、It works better than human facial recognition. C、It will use monkeys' behavior to create a database. D、It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them.(3)、According to the leader of the team, what is the difficulty in improving the system?A、Less cooperative monkeys. B、Hard for computers to identify the monkeys. C、photos and videos of high quality. D、Too many monkeys to identify.(4)、What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?A、To introduce a new way to identify monkeys. B、To show the importance of studying monkeys. C、To compare different ways to identify monkeys. D、To explain difficulties in developing a new system. -

That day when Ludwig van Beethoven died was one of the saddest of my life. I had stayed with him for more than twenty years and lived through many of his happiest moments and his triumphs as well as his most unhappy times.
He wasn't, however, the easiest of men to work for. His moods were changeable so that he could be reasonable at one moment but most impatient and intolerant at the next. All these problems began in 1802 when he discovered his loss of hearing was not temporary.
The loss of hearing brought him to a crossroads in his life. It was then that he realized that his future lay in composing music. Luckily, although his deafness brought him fear and anxiety, he was able to use these emotions to inspire his work.
Dealing with his inner problems and worries, his music was obviously subjective, which was not the most popular type of its time. But people recognized his greatness. They did so even when they knew he could not acknowledge it. When he was conducting his ninth and last symphony on its first performance he was totally deaf. So he just didn't realize that the music had finished and continued to conduct the orchestra. One of the singers had to turn him round so he could receive the cheers of the audience. From one angle it was a sad moment but from another it was an even greater triumph. That a man with such a condition could have written such dynamic music was overwhelming! It brought tears to my eyes to think that I had contributed in some small way by looking after him.
He dressed rather like a wild man himself. His hair was always untidy, his skin marked with spots and his mouth set in a downward curve. He took no care of his appearance and walked around our city with his clothes carelessly arranged. This was because he was concentrating on his next composition.
Helping him move house many times, preparing his meals and looking after his everyday comforts were my reward for a life living so close to such a musical genius. I consider myself a lucky man!
(1)、The author was most likely to be Beethoven's ____.A、student B、doctor C、servant D、relative(2)、What can be learned from this passage?A、Beethoven's music was underestimated at that time. B、Beethoven's work was inspired by his fear and anger. C、Beethoven's music stayed in step with the mainstream music of the time. D、Beethoven lost his ability to hear when first conducting his ninth symphony.(3)、Why did the author tear in Paragraph 4?A、Because the performance was a complete success. B、Because he played a part in Beethoven's success. C、Because Beethoven was completely deaf then. D、Because the audience cheered for Beethoven.(4)、According to the author, Beethoven could be described as ____.A、intolerant but cheerful B、stubborn but reasonable C、changeable but dedicated D、unsociable but easy-going -

20、阅读下列四篇短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Superhuman artificial intelligence is already among us. Well, sort of. When it comes to playing games like chess and Go, or solving difficult scientific challenges like predicting protein structures, computers are well ahead of us. But we have one superpower they aren't close to mastering: mind reading.
Humans have a mysterious ability to reason the goals, desires and beliefs of others, a vital skill that means we can predict other people's actions and the consequences of our own. Reading minds comes so easily to us, though, that we often don't think to spell out what we want. If AIs are to become truly useful in everyday life, we have to give them this gift that evolution has given us to read other people's minds.
Psychologists refer to the ability to infer other's mental state as theory of mind. In humans, this ability starts to develop at a very young age. How to reproduce the competence in machines is far from clear, though. One of the main challenges is context. For instance, if someone asks whether you are going for a run and you reply "it's raining", they can quickly conclude that the answer is no. But this requires huge amounts of background knowledge about running, weather and human preferences. Moreover, whether humans or AI, the theory of mind is supposed to appear naturally from one's own learning process.
Yet we might still want AI to have a more human-like form of theory of mind. While letting AI form the theory of mind in their learning process is likely to lead to developing more powerful AI, plainly building in shared ways to represent knowledge may be crucial for humans to trust and communicate with AI.
It is important to remember, though, that the pursuit of machines with theory of mind is about more than just building more useful robots. It is also a stepping stone on the path towards a deeper goal for AI and robotics research: building truly self-aware machines. Whether we will ever get there remains to be seen, but we are on the path to learning to think about ourselves.
(1)、Why does the author mention "games" and "protein structures" in the first paragraph?A、To stress how important the science is. B、To promote the use of AI in daily life. C、To present AI's theory of mind. D、To contrast with AI's lack of mind reading.(2)、According to the passage, which of the following contexts can AI understand well?A、When kids see their mom after hurting themselves and they cry louder. B、When a mom tells her kid to eat the food that is good for health and he eats it. C、When a teacher asks for a boy's homework and he answers "my dog ate it". D、When you are asked to eat spicy food for dinner and you reply "a sore throat".(3)、 What may the author agree with?A、We should reject human-like forms of abilities for AI. B、Humans' theory of mind is far from perfect. C、Mind reading requires huge amounts of context. D、The theory of mind is independent of one's learning process.(4)、 Which would be the best title for the passage?A、AI with Its Own Theory of Mind Is Expected B、AI with Theory of Mind Will Reshape Our Future C、AI's Theory of Mind Is a Blessing or Suffering to Humans D、Theory of Mind Bridges the Gap Between Humans and AI
