28、 CLouise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career, since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris (野鸢尾). And on Oct 8 she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes
29、 first awarded in 1901.Gluck was honored “for her unmistakable poetic voice that, with austere (朴素的) beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an autobiographical (自传体的) poet, drawing from the inner parts of her life, “she is not to be regarded as a confessional poet (告白派诗人). G
30、luck seeks the universal,” Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and isolation. Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be “dark”. H
31、owever, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. “It is straightforward and . also a voice full of humor and biting wit,” he said.For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a dep
32、ressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel the “raw wind of the new world” as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Glucks poetry, being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time.When her wo
33、rk Faithful Virtuous Night (忠诚与善良之夜) received a National Book Award for Poetry in 2014, a judge for the award went on to say, the collection comes from “a world where darkness blurs (使模糊) ordinarily sharp edges (边界) around the oppositions of our lives loss and renewal, male and female, the living an
34、d the dead”. Although shes already a well-known writer, experienced in exploring trauma (痛苦经历) and healing, Gluck did feel honored to be given the prestigious Nobel award. However, when asked what the prize means to her, the lyric poet responded by saying, “Its too new I dont know really what it mea
35、ns.” Her only hope is that she can preserve her daily life.28. What can we know about Louise Gluck? A. Her first book was published in 1993. B. The Wild Iris won her the Nobel Prize in literature. C. She draws from her life experiences in her writing. D. She is seen as a successful confessional poet
36、. 29. What does Olsson think of Glucks poems? A. They are all about human psychology. B. They are too dark for readers. C. They ignore individual existence.D. They are frank and humorous in style. 30. Why does the author mention Snowdrops in paragraph 4? A. To introduce the main plots of this poem.
37、B. To describe Glucks creativity in choosing themes. C. To show the features of Glucks poetry. D. To explain Glucks purpose in writing Snowdrops. 31. How does Gluck feel about winning the Nobel Prize in literature? A. She is not qualified for the prize.B.It may change her daily life. C.It is not mea
38、ningful for her. D. The history of this award is not long enough. DWe know that artificial intelligence (AI) is smart enough to do a few things our minds cannot, and with incredible accuracy. And now, it seems it also has the capacity to detect loneliness in humans, which is an otherwise challenging
39、 task.A new study, led by researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, US, has shown how AI tools can predict levels of loneliness from a persons speech with an accuracy rate of 94 percent.The study focused on 80 participants aged 66 to 94, a population particularly vuln
40、erable to loneliness. The subjects were asked 20 questions from the UCLA Loneliness Scale, which uses a four-point rating scale (量表) for questions such as “How often do you feel left out?” and “How often do you feel part of a group of friends?”They were also interviewed in private conversations, whi
41、ch were recorded and transcribed (转录) by researchers. The transcripts (文字记录) were then examined using natural language processing (处理) tools, including IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding (WNLU) software, to quantify (量化) expressed emotions.The interesting thing about this system is that it no
42、t only uses dictionary-based methods, such as searching for specific words that express fear, but also presents corresponding patterns by testing the words used in the response.Varsha Badal, the first author of the study, noted that the WNLU software system uses deep learning to extract (提取) data fr
43、om keywords, categories, emotions and grammar.“Natural language processing and machine learning can systematically examine long interviews from multiple individuals and explore how subtle (微妙的) speech features such as emotions may indicate loneliness,” Badal said. “Similar emotion analyses by humans
44、 would be open to bias (偏见), lack consistency, and require extensive (大量的) training to standardize.”The more lonely a person felt, the longer their responses to direct questions regarding loneliness. The system was capable of not just detecting the degree of loneliness in each subject, but also show
45、ing differences between the way men and women spoke about loneliness. The men were found to use more fearful and joyful words in their responses, while the women tended to acknowledge feeling lonely during interviews.Co-author Dilip Jeste said that the IBM-UC San Diego Center is now exploring natura
