Today, Ms Jenner also has successful careers as a model, TV reality show star and social media personality.When the magazine first reported last su

20、mmer that Jenner would take over the title, she was met with debate from critics who argued over whether her success was “self-made” or merely because of being born into an already famous and wealthy family.“I cant say Ive done it by myself. I dont have any inherited (通过继承得到的) money, but I have had

21、a lot of help and a huge platform,” Jenner told Forbes when talking about her billionaire status. “I didnt expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But the recognition feels really good.

25、uicker to match any found children to those old photos.Police can use software to age photos of people who have been missing for a while, but these tend to work best in adults, as age-related changes to adult faces are more predictable and so easier to simulate.With children, these aged images dont

26、tend to be like the older child, and matching photos of found children to old images in a database of missing children is difficult.Now Debayan Deb, a professor at Michigan State University, and his colleagues have created an program to do this for them. They trained a face-recognition program on da

27、ta sets including the Children Longitudinal Face data set, which contains images of nearly 1000 children aged between 2 and 18 years old. Each was photographed at least four times over a period of six years.The AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2.5 years earlier 80

28、 per cent of the time.With one year between the two photographs, the method was 90 per cent accurate at identifying faces. This dropped to 73 per cent after three years. The approach beats comparing children with photos taken when they were aged 0 to 4 that have been aged by software, which hovers a

29、t 50 percent recognition after six months. The new AI might help to improve accuracy of this kind of software as well.This is a very good paper that could potentially be used to identify missing children, says Amarjot Singh at the University of Cambridge.Debs next goal is to extend the age gap. His

30、team also hopes to develop an app that could be used to fight child trafficking.28. The software which police has used can_.A. match photos of found kids to former images.B. predict the changes of people over timeC. produce accurate images of children D. age the photos of missing people29.

31、 difficult to match photos of found children to their old images?A. Because the data set of child face images is quite large.B. Because the software cant age the photos of those kids.C. Because aged images arent very alike to the older child.D. Because its difficult to recognize the older kids with

32、photos.30. It can be learned that Debs team_.A. helps police identify missing childrenB. intends to develop a new appC. improved the software used by policeD. will give their app to police31. What do we know about the approach created by Deb and his colleague?A. It is based on the Children Longitudi

33、nal Face data set.B. It can recognize childrens images between 2 and 18.C. It is more accurate than the software to match photos.D. It has been used to identify missing children.DTake a road trip from Wisconsin up through Northern Minnesota. Look out your window and watch as maple-oak forests gradua

34、lly give way to plant species like aspens, spruce and birch. This changing view occurs because Northern Minnesota sits between temperate(温带的)forests in the southern US and boreal forests (北方针叶林) to the north. It makes the region an ideal place to track the impact of a warming climate.Scientists have

35、 guessed that, as global temperatures rise, plant species of both temperate and boreal forests will move northwards to escape warmer conditions. To test this guess, researchers have been artificially heating 18 small forest plots in the transition zone of Northern Minnesota ever since 2012. Using co

36、vers and heaters, the team increased air and soil temperatures. The long-term experiment is now offering valuable insights into how our changing climate will affect the structure and ecosystems of boreal and temperate forests. The team found that boreal species, such as balsam fir and white spruce,

37、are less able to emerge and survive under warmer conditions. They measured the boreal forests speciesamount of photosynthesis(光合作用)taking place. Their results show that, as soils dry up in warmer conditions, boreal species reduce their photosynthetic rate, reducing the amount of organic matter avail

38、able for growth. Overall, the seedling species richness in the temperate-boreal forest transition was reduced by warming. The researchers suggest that, unless the temperate species can offset the loss of the boreal species, the overall biodiversity of these forests is likely to decline.This research

39、 is important because temperate and boreal forests contain46 percent of all trees on earth. Of the global carbon stock stored by forests, boreal forests contain 32 percent, temperate forests 14 percent. In the coming years, boreal forests will experience extreme increases in air and soil temperature

40、s. An increase of 1.5C has already been measured, with a rise of between 4C and 6C projected in the next century.32. What made researchers choose Northern Minnesota to perform their experiment?A. Its rich plant species. B. Its easy accessibility.C. Its special location. D. Its warm climate.33. What

41、does the long-term experiment focus on?A. The causes of decreasing forest areas.B. The influence of human activities on climate change.C. The changes of forests driven by rising temperatures.D. The decline in the biodiversity of temperate and boreal forests.34. What does the underlined word in Parag

42、raph 3 mean?A. Lead to. B. Slow down. C. Add up to. D. Make up for.35. The statistics in the last paragraph show that temperate and boreal forests_.A. absorb less carbon dioxide per square meterB. face a high risk of being hit harder in the futureC. play an important role in fighting climate changeD

Of course, you want to make sure that you become an accepted and valuable part of your new neighborhood.

44、The easiest way to achieve this is to make sure you behave yourself as a good neighbor should. 36 . Perhaps one of the most important things you can do as a good neighbor is to keep your property(房产)neat, clean, and in good repair 37 By choosing to keep the outside of the home in great shape, you wi

45、ll help to improve the look and feel of the area.Second, take the overall appearance of the neighborhood seriously. When going for a walk, take along a small garbage bag. 38 This small act will let your neighbors know that you care about the area. 39 If a neighbor is going to be out of town, offer t

Let them know that you are there to help in any way that is acceptable, while still respecting the privacy of your neighbor. 40 By following the basic rules of respecting others, taking care of what be
