19、ter.

Around 28 million Americans, 10% of the population，have some degr

20、ee of hearing loss. Around 500, 000 deaf people in the country use American Sign Language (ASL), and its the third most commonly used language in the US; many hearing people are also fluent in ASL. With so many people using ASL, its only right that Savitzs neighbors learn the language，not only for h

21、er but also to be able to communicate with other deaf people.Located at the end of Islington Road in Newton, Massachusells, this little neighborhood is absolutely charmed by one little girl. Savitz is a super engaging girl, and she loves interacting with people in her community. She is delighted whe

22、n they are able to sign with her. However, she gets really sad when they cant understand her when she tries to communicate with them. Because of this, Savitzs neighbors collectively hired an instructor for ASL classes. With the help of their instructor, Rhys McGovern, the neighbors are able to help

23、Savitz feel a sense of belonging.What the neighbors did for this little girl is wonderful because she will grow up being well-adjusted in society .Instead of feeling separated because no one outside of her family will understand her, Savitz will be accustomed to constantly interacting with different

24、 people. Her family is so thankful that they are fortunate to have such caring and compassionate neighbors. Savitz calls her neighbors “friends,” and accurately so.Other than speaking with the darling of their neighborhood, the residents of Islington Road will also be able to communicate with any ot

But, what

29、ever it is, the way we dance to a beat is so noticeable to an individual that a computer can now identify us by our unique dancing “fingerprint”.Researchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research at Finlands University of Jyv skyl have been using motion capture (动作捕捉) technology to study

30、 what a persons dance moves say about his or her mood, personality, and ability to sympathize. They recently made an accidental discovery while trying to see if an ML machine, a form of artificial intelligence, would be able to identify which kind of music was playing based on how the participants o

31、f the study were dancing. In their study, the researchers motion captured 73 participants with the AI technology while they danced to eight different music genres: electronica, jazz, metal, pop, rap, reggae, country, and blues. The only instruction the dancers were given was to move in a way that fe

32、lt natural.But what it could do was more shocking. The computer was able to correctly identify which music one of the participants was dancing to 94 percent of the time, regardless of what kind of music was playing, based on the pattern of a persons dance style. It was the movement of participants h

33、eads, shoulders and knees that were important markers in distinguishing between individual. “It seems as though a persons dance movements a kind of fingerprint. Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of music is playing,” said Pasi Saari, a co-author of t

34、he study, in a class.Its possible that dance-recognition software could become something similar to face-recognition software but it doesnt seem as practical. For now, researchers say that they are not as interested in possible surveillance (监视) uses of this technology, but rather what the results o

37、rket.B. Programming it to work at nightclub.C. Learning about the human response to music.D. Developing a software like face-recognition.11. What can be the best title of the text?A. A music style matters less than its beat.B. New AI can generate your next dance move.C. A dance-recognition software

38、will become more popular.D. New AI can identify you by your dancing “fingerprint”.DMany wildflowers of spring in eastern North America bloom thanks to ants. The tiny six-legged gardeners have partnered with those plants and about 11, 000 others to spread their seeds. The plants，in turn, “pay” for th

39、e service by attaching a calorie-loaded appendage (附属物) to each seed, much like fleshy fruits remunerate birds and mammals that desert seeds or poop (排泄) them out. But theres more to the ant-seed relationship than that exchange, researchers reported last week at the annual meeting of the Ecological

40、Society of America, which was held online.Many ants eat seeds. Certain plants attach a nutritive globe called an elaiosome to their seed coats, which serves as a favorite lunch for the ants young and gives ants a handle on seeds that can be bigger than their heads. Until now, researchers assumed the

41、 ants simply carry the seeds to their nests, feed the elaiosome to their young, and deposit the seed either outside or inside at the colonys “garbage dump”, which provides a rich environment for shooting.In both the field and the lab, Chelsea Miller presented ants with seeds from various trillium (延

42、龄花) species and found the ants were quick to pick up some species seeds while leaving others to rot, Miller said. To find out how ants make their choices, Miller and Susan Whitehead at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) used techniques to analyze the chemical mak

43、eup of elaiosomes. They found that ants pick seeds based on the specific combination and concentrations of acid and other compounds (化合物) made by the plant, 20 of which are unique to trilliums. The ants tastes may affect plant species distributions, say Kirsten Prior, an ecologist at Binghamton Univ

44、ersity: “Widespread trillium species are preferred by seed-dispersing ants compared to rare trillium species.”Melissa Burt, an ecologist at Virginia Tech, hopes these studies bring ants new respect. “Many people who talk about ants only know them as insects that are taking over their kitchens, but m

45、any ants perform important functions in ecosystems,” she says. “Seed dispersal is just one of those.”12. What does the underlined word “remunerate” probably mean?A. AttractB. Track.C. Free.D. Reward.13. What does the text say about elaiosome in paragraph 2?A. Its a tasty treat for young ants.B. Its

46、no smaller than ants heads.C. It is used as young ants new nest.D. It can be used as a weapon to protect ants.14. Why did Miller and his team figure out the chemicals of some seeds?A. To analyze the specific combination affecting the plant growth.B. To find out the reason for ants preferring some se

47、eds to others.C. To prove the accuracy of their lab techniques applied in the field.D. To understand the way of ants distributing different plant species seeds.15. What do most people think of ants according to Melissa?A. Annoying.B. Greedy.C. Creative.D. Hardworking.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后

113、their choices, Miller and Susan Whitehead at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) used techniques to analyze the chemical makeup of elaiosomes. They found that ants pick seeds based on the specific combination and concentrations of acid and other compounds (化合物) ma

115、Virginia Tech, hopes these studies bring ants new respect. “Many people who talk about ants only know them as insects that are taking over their kitchens, but many ants perform important functions in ecosystems,” she says. “Seed dispersal is just one of those.”12.
