21、Using the power of artificial intelligence (AI), scientists have revealed new insights into the creation and destruction of mass extinction. Contrary to conventional knowledge, their study suggests that larger extinctions are not always a form of “creative destruction” that allows new organisms to radiate (向周围辐射出去) and evolve. Instead, it suggests that mass extinction is rarely associated with new species of radiation.
Dr. Hoyal Cuthill, the lead study author from the University of Essex in the UK and the Tokyo Institute of Technology, said in a statement, “Some of the most challenging things to understand the history of life are the vast timelines involved and the number of species. New machine learning applications can help us understand the information in human-readable form. This means that we can, so to speak, hold the evolution of half a billion years in the palm of our hand and gain new insights from what we see.”
They concluded that mass extinction and later radiation were not connected as previously thought. Within 5 percent of the most significant periods of disruption (中断), AI detected “big five mass extinctions, seven more mass extinctions, two mass extinction-radiation events and 15 mass radiations. Most importantly, it discovers that massive radiation and extinction rarely occurred with each other, changing the view that greater extinction leads to a kind of deep cycle-like species radiation of nature. It appears that larger extinctions are certainly not the engine of evolutionary radiation. Take the Cambrian Explosion for example and it was about 41 million years ago when a large group of animals first appeared on the first fossil record and the dawn of a high mobile animal equipped with modern physical features.
This new study found that a handful of other notable explosions of biodiversity, including the Cambrian Explosion, usually occurred at a time when they were largely isolated (孤立的) from extinction. Dr. Nicholas Guttenberg, a study co-author from the Tokyo Institute of Technology explained, “Ecosystems are dynamic and you don’t need anything to exist to allow something new to appear.”
【1】What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A.To analyze the cause of creative destruction.
B.To tell us the result of the new study.
C.To explain the power of artificial intelligence
D.To present the conventional idea of mass extinction.
【2】What do Dr. Hoyal Cuthill’s words imply?
A.New AI machines learn applications better.
B.It’s difficult to understand the history of life.
C.New species appear before mass extinction.
D.AI contributes a lot to the study of evolution.
【3】Why is the Cambrian Explosion mentioned in the text?
A.To provide knowledge of history.
B.To highlight the importance of AI.
C.To support the new study.
D.To prove the previous view is right.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.A new understanding of mass extinction.
B.The processes of biological evolution.
C.Animal species with modern physical features
D.The relationship between mass extinction and radiation
22、Awesome English speakers are also great team players in conversations, which means they share the conversation. They listen, they respond, and they help others to participate as well and to enjoy themselves. 【1】 They don’t speak over the top of everyone. They’re there to participate.
However, just talking a little too much in conversations doesn’t mean someone is a bad person. 【2】 But the reason why this is especially important to you as an English learner is that you want to make sure that people enjoy talking to you when you’re speaking in English.
【3】 They talk more, find out more about you and allow you to build the relationship with them. And significantly, having more relationships means more chances for you to speak, and more chances for you to learn and to have someone to speak with regularly. 【4】
Obviously, you can’t expect random people to do that for you. 【5】 Certainly, this is not going to be easy but if you think a little more broadly about the benefits and the value of these skills and how they can help you to keep improving your English naturally, that’s interesting and valuable to you,
A.They don’t dominate the conversation.
B.That’s meaningless and a waste of time.
C.Sharing the conversation will make people want to stay.
D.It doesn’t necessarily mean he or she is a bad listener, either.
E.Thanks to this, you might build a closer relationship with them.
F.Besides sharing the conversation,you shouldn’t keep silent all the time.
G.But if you build a good relationship with someone, then it might pay off.
23、People have tried everything to get more sleep. But unlike almost every other area of life, effort is not rewarded.【1】The more you try, the less you are likely to succeed. Here are some ways to improve your sleep that might just work.
【2】There is nothing you can do between now and bedtime to guarantee that you will sleep tonight. There is, however, plenty you can start doing to improve your chances of sleeping well next month. So instead of worrying about the night ahead, make sleeping well a long-term goal and expect to see progress in a few weeks rather than tomorrow.
Have a late night. Adults need to be awake for at least 16 hours to generate enough sleep-drive to sleep for eight hours at night. Having an early night can mean you won’t be sleepy enough to fall asleep quickly and easily. Don’t pay too much attention to the exact times or he hours of sleep you are getting — the details don’t matter. And don’t take naps (小睡) in the day.【3】
Smile more. Smiling can reduce tension and promote relaxation. As you turn the light out at night, try to think of something funny and smile lo yourself in the dark.【4】Even a fake smile is enough to send a message to the brain to change your mood and retrain the brain to be comfortable with being awake, thus reducing tension and allowing sleep to follow.
Stop reading articles about sleep. None of the researching, monitoring or analyzing actually leads to better sleep. In fact, constantly looking for a solution is undoubtedly making things worse.【5】Make this the last article you read on the subject, then go and find something more interesting to think about.
A.Try to stay awake at night.
B.In fact, it is actively punished.
C.Give up trying to sleep tonight.
D.So give sleep less of your attention.
E.They take the edge off your appetite for sleep.
F.It doesn’t have to be a genuine, heartfelt smile.
G.You have to do things differently to get a different outcome.
