27、Traffic jam is a problem for cities around the world, with some looking to electric scooters（踏板车）to ease the problem, and others to AI-enabled traffic lights. But one company believes the solution is to build a network of driverless high-speed pods（吊舱）that ride around cities suspended（悬挂）from a steel track.
In June, Belarus-based uSky Transport opened a 400-meter test line in Sharjah（沙加）.From the outside, the electrically powered pods are white while the inside is designed to feel like a first-class airline suite, including mood lighting, music and floor-to-ceiling windows. With two padded armchairs and two foldable seats, the vehicle being tested can carry up to four passengers. A complete city-wide network could support 10, 000 passengers per hour, uSky says, with vehicles at present able to travel up to 150 kilometers per hour.
The company says its aim is to free up roads and ground spaces that could be used for greenery, walkways and public leisure spaces," The ground space is completely oversaturated, and people are tired of traffic jams. People are tired of emissions," says Oleg Zaretskiy, uSky Transport's CEO.
According to uSky, while one kilometer of subway can cost up to $ 150 million to construct, this system costs around $ 10 million. And by using less structural materials, it reduces carbon emissions. The company has also developed a similar technology to transport goods containers, carrying up to 48 tons at a top speed of 90 kilometers per hour.
Although she cautions that it would require careful planning to avoid traffic jam in a busy city-wide network, Haag believes it could still be a widely adopted solution if the promises of improved mobility and sustainability（持续性）are kept.
Zaretskiy says uSky is also looking beyond Sharjah. "We can see that the most promising areas for us are in the Middle East and Asia-places where there is natural growth of population, such as India and Pakistan," he says. Haag adds that pods are more suited to countries where public transportation is under-developed and there is increasing demand for mobility solutions. The company hopes to finalize its first commercial contract（商业合同）by the end of the year in Sharjah, Zaretskiy adds, meaning uSky pods could be running properly by 2024.

28、The West is full of fast food and large amounts of food which contribute to many women’s being fat.While many are fat thin women are admired and seen as healthier.This has led to a culture of gym-going strange dieting methods and frequently eating disorders.In the East women tend to be smaller and many women take pills to keep their slim figures as they get older.However you’re mistaken if you think thinness is the beauty standard all over the world.The BBC reports that in Mauritania Africa the opposite is true.
In Mauritania mothers force their daughters to eat a lot of food so that they get as fat as possible.The fatter they are the more likely they are to marry well.Fat is also considered healthy because in a country where HIV/AIDS is a very real problem thin people are often sick and dying.However “healthy” fat women are suffering from some problems of their own and many are dying in their 40s of weight-related diseases.
The Mauritanian government is trying to warn its people of the dangers of being overweight but it’s not easy to change cultural views.Many women worry that if they lose weight their husbands will leave them for fatter more attractive women.
It seems that while education about the dangers of being too thin and too fat is very important what the world really needs is to become less pre-occupied with the size shape and weight of women’s bodies.The promotion of healthy practices is easy but changing cultural beauty standards takes more time imagination and effort.
【1】According to the article why are women usually fatter in the West?
A．They don’t exercise enough.
B．Large food portions and fast food are common.
C．They use unhealthy dieting methods.
D．They believe that being fat is beautiful.
【2】Why do mother force their daughter to eat a lot of food in Mauritania?
A．They believe that fat people won’t get HIV/AIDS.
B．They believe that fat people can live a longer life.
C．They believe that fat women will have a good marriage.
D．They believe that fat women won’t get sick very often.
【3】As for the importance of educating people about the dangers of eating too much or too little, the writer thinks that _______.
A．other change are necessary as well
B．people should learn about it for themselves
C．it should be taught in schools in the whole country
D．it’s more important to change cultural beauty standards
29、Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence (AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of individual chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in the wild. The new software will allow researcher and wildlife conservationists to greatly cut back on time spent analyzing videos, according to the new paper published today in Science Advances.
“For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting photos of their behavior from short-term field research can only tell us so much.” says Dan Sehofield, researcher and DPhil student at Oxford University’s Primate Models Lab, School of Anthropology. “By taking advantage of the power of machine learning to unlock large video files, it makes it possible to measure behavior over the long term.”
The computers model was trained using over 10 million images (影像) from Kyoto University’s Primate Research Institute (PRI) video files of wild chimpanzees in Guinea, West Africa. The new software is the first to continuously track and recognize individuals in a wide range of posed, performing with high accuracy in difficult conditions such as low lighting and poor image quality.
“Access to this large video file has allowed us to use the newest deep neural networks to train models at a scale that was previously not possible,” says Arsha Nagrani, co-author of the study and DPhil student at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. “Additionally, our new software differs from previous primate face recognition software in that it can be applied to raw videos with limited manual intervention (人工干预) or pre-processing, saving hours of time.”
The technology has potential for many uses, such as monitoring species for conservation. Although the present application focused on chimpanzees, the software provided could be applied to other species, and help drive the adoption of AI systems to solve a range of problems in the wildlife sciences.
【1】What’s the purpose of developing the new software?
A．To save wildlife researchers’ time spent in the wild.
B．To keep track of wildlife conservationists’ behavior.
C．To protect chimpanzees and help them to live longer.
D．To recognize and track the faces of wild chimpanzees.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Getting photos.
B．Analyzing videos.
C．The new AI software.
D．A powerful machine.
【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．The unique advantages of the new software.
B．Some limitations of using the new software.
C．The working principles of the new software.
D．Controversial attitudes to the new software.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The new software has a quite bright future.
B．The application of the technology can be tough.
C．Technology is the final goal of scientific research.
D．AI systems are widely used in the wildlife sciences.
