27、Ocean food plays a very important part in our food supply. Not so long ago, the world’s oceans were filled with different types of fish. Now, a large increase in global overfishing has threatened that supply.
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, 90 percent of the world’s fisheries (渔场) are either being fully exploited (开发), or are at risk of being closed down.
With fish supplies running out at home, fishermen are traveling further to find their catch. Frequently, fishermen are crossing over into other countries. As fish supplies closer to their homeland’s shores are decreasing fishermen cross borders to find fish.
Overfishing can be found everywhere, from Mexican fishing boats off the US coast of Florida to Russian fishing boats in the western Bering Sea. However, the effect is felt the strongest in the South China Sea.
On the other side of the world, West Africa is now seeing malign effects of overfishing. For coastal African countries, such as Senegal, the fishing industry is a large part of the national economy. The World Bank reports nearly 20 percent of the Senegalese are working in the fishing industry. Rashid Sumaila is the Director of Fisheries Economic Research at the University of British Columbia. He says communities that depend on fish for income and food, like Senegal, are now at risk.
【1】Why do fishermen cross borders to catch fish?
A．Because they want to protect the environment.
B．Because they want to enjoy the overseas scenery.
C．Because fish supplies in their countries are decreasing.
D．Because fishing is not allowed in their own countries.
【2】Where can the most serious overfishing be seen according to the text?
A．In Russia.
B．In the South China Sea.
C．Off the US coast of Florida.
D．In the western Bering Sea.
【3】What does the underlined word “malign” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Harmful.
B．Satisfying.
C．Hopeful.
D．Beneficial.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Most people in Africa will be out of work.
B．The World Bank will lend money to fishermen.
C．Rashid Sumaila is unconcerned about overfishing.
D．Overfishing has some bad effects on African people.
28、 Although there are fillers（滤镀）which can change digital photographs to make them similar to a painting, obvious differences still exist.
A brand-new painting Al has been made public recently. Much like the pupils of the old masters, the new Al studies the work of great painters like Vermeer and Van Gogh and learns to reproduce their works.
The Al, named "paintBot", is the creation of a team of researchers from the University of Maryland, the Bytedance Al Lab and Adobe Research.
PaintBot can not only reproduce the work of different artists but create new works based on photographs in the chosen painter's characteristic style.
To train the Alto imitate（模 仿）a given artist's technique, the researchers would present it with between 3 and 10 reference paintings. With each reference painting it studies, the Al gradually learns to recognize the various characteristics of the given artist's technique, including the stroke（笔画）color, position and size—along with the order in which each brushstroke should be made.
PaintBot uses a technique known as reinforcement learning（强化学习）.During the learning process, the Al would practice reproducing reference paintings, which it would then compare with the original work to see how similar the two were and if it was improving its imitation of the artist's style. It takes around six hours for the Al to learn to imitate a given painter.
Once the Al has mastered a particular artist's technique, the researchers could present it with a new image to reproduce in the same style. The Al then uses what it has learnt to produce a new painting, putting down each brushstroke one at a time.
After being trained in a given style, PaintBot takes only around five minutes to produce each of its digital masterpieces.
The way that PaintBot's compositions are built up from thousands of individual brushstrokes makes the AI's works more realistic than those online filters.
【1】What does the author say about filters used to change digital photos?
A.They do amazing work. B.They are out of date.
C.They have different uses. D.They are not good enough.
【2】What does PaintBot need to do first before imitating a certain artist's painting?
A.Learn the artist's techniques.
B.Recognize the value of the painting.
C.Compare the painting with other works.
D.Understand the artist's family background.
【3】How does PaintBot create works?
A.It follows the given style. B.It learns from the researchers.
C.It just imitates the reference paintings. D.It mixes techniques of different artists.
【4】Which of the following best describes PaintBot's paintings according to the author?
A.Popular. B.Valuable. C.Advanced. D.Lifelike.
