27、 An online tool has been released(推出)which is able to bring black and white photographs to life by adding colour to them using artificial intelligence(AI).
Colourisation(上色)of old photos is normally a process taking a lot of time,which requires special training and expensive software.The tool,ColouriseSG,is able to do it for free. It is trained on old pictures and uses machine learning to guess what it thinks the pictures would have looked like in colour.
"The purpose of colourisation is to produce a picture with colours that seem to be right," the tool's developers say."It by no means makes sure that the colourised picture is an accurate(精确的)representation of the original photo in time."
The free-to-use tool was developed to provide an accurate way for people from Singapore to edit their black and white pictures.The idea of ColouriseSG was to provide a large enough data-set to be linked to people living in Singapore.
Tech firm NVIDIA has released several different picture editing tools that are powered by AI.Its latest release is software which uses deep learning to turn even the roughest drawings into works of art.
The new program,GauGAN,named after famous French impressionist Paul Gaugin,uses a tool called GAN to recognize simple lines and turn them into realistic pictures.
Its application could help jobs,for example,urban planning,edit pictures faster and with greater accuracy,according to the company.
“It's much easier to come up with designs with simple drawings,and this technology is able to turn these drawings into highly realistic pictures,"said Bryan Catanzaro,vice president of applied deep learning research at NVIDIA.
【1】How does ColouriseSG colourise photos?
A.By learning from people in Singapore.
B.By presenting old photos correctly.
C.By editing original colors on the photos.

A.the colourisation of old pictures
B.the technology of machine learning
C.picture editing tools powered by AI
D.simple lines changed into photos
【4】The passage is most probably a
A.science report B.technology review
C.research plan D.laboratory record
28、 Many students want to know the best ways to improve their learning. Here are a few useful methods.
Focus
One of the best ways to organize your study session is to use the Pomodoro Technique. 【1】 The idea is to use a timer. Let's say, you set the timer for 20 minutes, and focus only on your studies during that time. You cannot check email, or do anything aside from your task. When the timer goes off, you can reward yourself by listening to some music or having a drink of tea.
Test yourself
When you are studying, you should test yourself often. 【2】 You can also find all kinds of online tests for many subjects.
Interleaving
【3】 For example, in one study period you might spend time testing yourself on vocabulary words and then test yourself on grammar. Or, if studying math, you could mix multiplication(乘法) and division(除法)problems. It may be better for long-term learning.
Teaching
Teaching is also a powerful way to learn. 【4】 Some did not expect to have to teach information, while others did. When they actually teach a lesson, they develop a deeper understanding of the material.
Closing thoughts
You can create your own plan based on what you need to learn. You might organize your study periods with the Pomodoro technique. Then, you can test yourself and interleave different topics. There are many choices. 【5】
A.Researchers compared different groups of students.
B.In other words, they only study one topic at a time.
C.This method is a technique that means you mix different topics.
D.All of these techniques can be put together to make a powerful study plan.
E.It is a powerful, but simple method that helps people focus on a task.
F.When you focus and do tasks that are at the right difficulty level, your brain will become tired.
G.If you are using a textbook, then you can do practice questions from the end of each chapter.
29、 The day was September 5, 2015, when for the first time I left my country Bangladesh for China to get Master of Environmental Engineering at Chongqing University, thanks to the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC). I always wanted to know and learn new language, culture and tradition.
At the beginning, because of the language prevention, going to canteen or restaurant or visiting places or buying things were a challenge. Later, when I began learning Chinese, considered one of the most difficult languages in the world, life became much smoother. In addition, I took part in after-school activities organized by the university or by Chinese friends. In the past four years I have visited many places in China such as Yichang, Beijing, Kunming and Sichuan province. I enjoy Chongqing's delicious hotpot, tofu, traditional Chinese tea. China covers a large region and has many ethnicities (少数民族), so there's a variety of Chinese food. China is a country with a time-honored civilization and a land of ceremony. Whenever guests visit, it is necessary to serve tea to them. Before serving tea, you may ask them for their preferences as to what kind of tea they prefer and serve them the tea in the right teacups.
China is one of the few countries in the world which depend on coal as the main energy source. At present, coal accounts for about 70 percent of the energy structure in China, which produces serious environmental pollution and ecological (生态的) damage. After years of efforts, China has made achievements. Related technologies have been used in large companies in China.
I'm lucky to here working as a doctoral researcher at the department of environmental science and engineering. I should have the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills that I need to build a bright future planet. By gathering scientific knowledge in this field, I have plans to create new opportunities for policymakers of my country Bangladesh. I value the chance to serve my beloved homeland!

32、阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
