The giraffe is the tallest animal in the world. Its legs and tail are taller than most people. Its tongue is very long, 18 in

46、ches. The front part of its tongue is an unusual color, black. Unlike most other large animals, giraffes do not threaten (威胁) people. Yet to many scientists the most amazing thing about this gentle giant is its heart.To understand how amazing the giraffes heart is, put your head lower than your hear

47、t. Keep it there for a few minutes. Then lift your head up very quickly. Do you feel dizzy? This is the effect of a change in blood pressure. The heart has to quickly pump blood to your brain to stop you from feeling dizzy or from fainting.When a giraffe lifts its head up from the ground, it has to

48、lift its 250-kilo neck more than 15 feet in the air. How can it do this without fainting? The giraffes heart is really large. It is almost two feet long and weighs about 10 kilos. It can pump 60 liters of blood in a minute. The large artery (动脉) that carries blood from the heart up the long neck of

49、the giraffe is also unusual because it has a muscle in it. This muscle helps keep the giraffes blood pressure.In 1988, a writer, Michael Allin, learned that a giraffe arrived in Marseille, a city in the south of France, in 1826. It was a gift to the king of France Charles X. He decided to go to Ethi

50、opia, in East Africa, where the giraffe was born. He traveled to Egypt on the Nile River. This was the same way the giraffe came to Egypt where he discovered the reason for the gift. Muhammad Ali, an important Egyptian leader, did not want the French to enter a war. He sent the giraffe to King Charl

51、es X.However, it was difficult to transport a giraffe in 1826. It traveled from Egypt to France on a ship. The giraffe was so tall that it couldnt fit in the lower deck of the ship. This was quite a problem until someone decided to cut a hole in the top deck of the ship. The giraffes legs were below

52、, and its long neck came up through the hole.No one knew how to get such a large animal from Marseille to Paris, so the giraffe had to walk the 880 kilometers. All along the way, people came to watch the gentle giant. Six weeks after it left Marseille, the giraffe finally arrived in Paris, where 100

53、,000 people came to see this amazing creature. Today, we still look at the giraffe in amazement.

56、e（2023江苏无锡外国语学校一模）In 2018, Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools should teach students. Most said students should spend less time remembering facts and have more space for creative activities. As the Internet grows more powerful, students can get knowledge easily. Why should they

57、 be required to carry so much of it around in their heads?Civilizations (文明) develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary. In the Agricultural Age, a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills. When societies industrialized, the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget. Nowa

58、days, smart machines help us to get most human knowledge. It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter?Researchers have realized several problems that may happen. For one, human beings have biases (偏见), and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people beli

59、eve smart machines are necessarily correct and objective (客观的), but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers.Another problem relates to the ease (容易) of getting information. When there were no computers, eff

60、orts were required to get knowledge from other people, or go to the library. We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books, and what lies in our heads. But today, the Internet gives us the information we need quickly. This can lead to the mistaken beliefthe knowledge we found was part of what

61、 we knew all along.In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence (智慧), we can easily get to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily. The collapse of any of the networks of relations our health depends upon, suc

62、h as food and energy, would produce terrible results. Without food we get hungry; without energy we feel cold. And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age.We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills. As long as the older forms

63、 of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks, and can be found when we need them, perhaps theyre not really forgotten. Still, as time goes on, we slowly but unquestionably become strangers to future people.32Smart machines are likely to increase our biases because _.Athey go off course in test

69、ple, aged 24 to 96.They find that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive(认知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, friends and neighbors. In another experiment, the researchers conducted laboratory test

75、 we were walking down one long, dirty street. Suddenly, Dupin spoke, “Youre right,” he said. “He is a very small man.”At first I saw nothing strange in this. Then it hit me. Dupin had agreed directly with my thoughts. I had not spoken a word! Dupin had read my mind. I stopped walking. “Dupin,” I sai

It was the fruit-seller.”“Fruit-seller!?”“I mean the man who bumped into you fifteen minutes ago.”“Oh, yesI remember, now. That

78、 kept looking at the cobblestones. Then we came to a small street with new street stones. Here your face became brighter and your lips formed the word stereotomy which we read about in the newspaper only yesterday. The word stereotomy reminded you of the old Greek writer and thinker Epicurus and his

79、 ideas about atoms. We were talking about how much those old ideas are like todays scientific study of the planets and stars. Then you looked up and saw that the group of stars called Orion. Only yesterday, in the newspaper, there was a report about the actor Chantilly. The critic used a Latin sayin

80、g about Orion to describe Chantilly. So you would connect Orion and Chantilly. Then, I saw you straighten up because you were thinking of Chantillys size. And so I spoke, saying that he is indeed a very little man.”I was surprised. Dupin was right. Those were in fact my unspoken thoughts, as my mind

94、tant. It was the factor that pushed Conrad to abandon his Polish mother tongue. If it is not possible to publish at home, or to publish there as one would wish to publish, then one is likely to go elsewhere. And if to publish elsewhere one has to change language, then some authors are willing to tak

95、e that step.Something of the same logic has driven many writers from Africa, Asia to write in French and English in recent years. There is also the fact that people in Europe and the West are interested in the countries they grew up in. Just as in the nineteenth century, novelists like Thomas Hardy

96、could “sell” their familiarity with peasant life to a middle-class metropolitan(大都市的) public, so these writers have interested us with stories that might seem common in their home countries.There is also a real internationalism in the decision to change language. If you have “a message” and if Engli

97、sh is the language that offers maximum spread, then it would seem appropriate to use it.All these make sense. Critics(评论家) tend to pay attention only to those who have made a success of writing in a new language. In April 2014, a New York Times article essentially listed young literary stars who had

98、 switched（改变）to writing in the main Western languages. At this point, the native English speaker almost begins to feel at a disadvantage for having been born into the dominant culture. Should we perhaps head for Paris, like Beckett or Jonathan Littell, just to be between two worlds? Or look for some

99、thing more exotic(异国的) and have ourselves translated back into English afterward? However, one fact is that changing languages doesnt always work.I did write a novel in Italian. But after rereading it, I decided against it. My work lost power with the switch of language. My real subject matter still

100、 had to do with England and it was to my home culture that my books were addressed. The second language never seems to mean quite as much as the first.
