26、One Australian state government has become the first in the world to carry out a statewide camera program to automatically detect (探测) drivers using their cell phones while driving.
The program came into effect in the state of New South Wales on December 1 following a six-month trial earlier this year, which the government claims caught over 100,000 drivers. Similar technology has been tested in England and Saudi Arabia, but the NSW program marks the first time it has been widely carried out.
There won’t be any signs signalling the cameras’ presence, either. “We have to unfortunately use the element of surprise to get people to think ‘well, I could get caught at any time,’” said NSW Roads Minister Andrew Constance. “I want behaviour to change and I want it changed immediately.”
The cell phone detection camera can’t actually discover people using their phones in time. Instead, it takes photographs of every single vehicle that passes by it, using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse them later. If the software detects a likely offender (违法者), the image is then checked by an employee before a punishment notice is sent out.
Drivers will only receive warnings for the first three months the cell phone detection cameras are in operation. After that, drivers who are caught will be fined 344 dollars, as well as losing five points from their driver’s license.
According to the NSW government, if the AI doesn’t detect any phone use in a photo it will be deleted without any human seeing it, usually within an hour.
【1】Why does the NSW government carry out the camera program?
A．To detect the number of drivers using cell phones.
B．To help drivers avoid being caught in surprise.
C．To change drivers’ behavior of using cell phones while driving.
D．To test similar technology like some European countries.
【2】What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Cameras.
B．Drivers.
C．Photos.
D．Passers-by.
【3】What may happen to the offenders detected by the camera?
A．Some regular written warnings.
B．No punishment in the limited time.
C．A heavy fine without point loss.
D．A make-up test of the driver’s license.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．A road Al camera system in Australia.
B．A test of world-first AI camera system.
C．The behaviors of Australian drivers.
D．The development of AI camera system.
27、We all have things that we want to achieve in our lives-getting into the better shape, building a successful business, raising a wonderful family, and so on.【1】, At least, this is how I approached my life goals until recently.
What I’m starting to realize, however, is that when it comes to actually getting things done and making progress in the areas that are important to you, there is a much better way to do things. It all comes down to the difference between goals and systems.【2】 Your system is the writing schedule that you follow each week. Now for the really interesting question: If you completely ignored your goals and focused only on your system,would you still get tcstilts? I think you would.
【3】 In the last 12 months, I’ve written over 115, 000 words. The typical book is about 50, 000 to 60, 000 words, so I have written enough to fill two books this year. All of this is such a surprise because I never set a goal for my writing. I didn’t measure my progress in relation to some benchmark. 【4】 1 never said, “I want to write two books this year.” What I did focus on was writing one article every Monday and Thursday. I focused on my system and the process of doing the work. And after sticking to that schedule for 11 months, the result was 115, 000 words. In the end,I enjoyed the same (or perhaps better) results.
Goals are good for planning your progress and systems are good for actually making progress.Goals can provide direction and even push you forward in the short term, but eventually a well-designed system will always win. Having a system is what matters. 【5】
A．None of this is to say that goals are useless.
B．If you’re a writer, your goal is to write a book.
C．Forget about predicting the future and build a system.
D．I never set a word count goal for any particular article.
E．Committing to the process is what makes the difference.
F．And for most of us, the path to those things starts by setting a specific goal.
G．As an example, I just added up the total word count for the articles I’ve written this year.
28、 When I'm surfing the Web, I want to be attracted by articles on Europe's political history, but I end up reading trivia (琐事) such as a menu from a Michelin restaurant. Why am I not curious about the things I want to be curious about? Curiosity feels as if it's outside your control, but if you understand what causes curiosity, you might be able to direct it a little bit better.
Humans will give up the known benefit to explore the unknown. In one experiment, subjects were asked to choose one of four photos, each carrying some chance of paying a cash prize. Photos appeared again and again, so subjects learned to pick the best-paying. But when a novel photo appeared, they chose it quite more often. This preference for novelty is the reason why producers regularly change product packaging and advertising.
We're super curious when we sense that the environment offers new information to add to what we already know. Note that your brain calculates what you might learn in the short-term—your long-term interests are ignored. That' s why a cardiac surgeon (心脏外科医生) who is excited about her job will find a conference presentation on the operation boring if her brain decides that the talk won't add to her knowledge. However, when her friend persuades her to attend a lecture on arts, her brain may calculate that this will be a rich source of information—and she finds herself interested.
Why not just search for topics you truly want to learn about at present? That sounds logical, but a search for a topic like "universe" will lead to thousands of results. And there is no way of knowing which offers the just-right match to your present knowledge that will maintain (维持) your curiosity. You'll probably end up like the surgeon at the boring conference talk.
Albert Einstein advised a young student to "never lose a holy curiosity." But the challenge is changing its focus from something short-lived to something more lasting.
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.It seems difficult to control our curiosity.
B.It's no hard task to fully understand curiosity.
C.Trivia can always attract everyone's attention.
D.Europe's political history is too boring to focus on.
【2】Why does the cardiac surgeon find attending the art lecture interesting?
A.She is tired of her present job.
B.She often attends art exhibition.
C.She finds it can expand her knowledge.
D.She considers it does good to her work.
【3】What can we learn from this text?
A.Subjects were more likely to choose repeated photos.
B.Well-matched results offer no way to maintain our curiosity.
C.Einstein suggested it was challenging to awaken the short-term curiosity.
D.Keeping our curiosity focused on the long-term interests is quite an effort.
29、 An experiment which saw salad seeds sent into space has given hope for the future of growing food on another planet, according to a recently-published study.
The findings have appeared after two kilograms of seeds spent six months on board the International Space Station(ISS)with British European Space Agency(ESA)astronaut, Tim Peake, as part of his Principia mission.
There, the seeds could have absorbed up to 100 times more radiation(辐射)than on Earth while being influenced by the violent shaking from the stresses of space travel.
When the seeds returned to Earth in 2016,600,000 children from schools across Britain took part in an experiment, supported by the UK Space Agency, to plant them and monitor their growth, comparing it to that of seeds that had remained on Earth.
The results showed that, while the space seeds grew more slowly and were more sensitive to ageing, they were still able to survive.
Peake said, “When humans travel to Mars, they will need to find ways to feed themselves, and this research helps us understand some of the biology of seed storage and germination(发芽) which will be important for future space missions.”
The Royal Horticultural Society(RHS)tasked 8,600 schools and groups across Britain to take part in the controlled study, recording their results as a scientist would.
It was part of a project called Rocket Science, led by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening, in partnership with the UK Space Agency.
RHS manager Alana Cama said, “The Rocket Science experiment opened a window into space biology and allowed young people to be at the forefront of creative research.”
“This research project did more than just inspire; it furthered our understanding of the challenges around growing plants in unusual environments and the possibility of growing food on long-term space missions in the future. Inspiring a new generation of botanists and biologists will remain our goal to enrich everyone’s lives through plants.”
【1】The findings of the experiment indicate that
A.salad seeds sent into space turned out a failure
B.astronauts successfully grew salad seeds on Mars
C.the future of growing plants in space looks bright
D.the radiation makes it impossible for plants to survive
【2】Unlike those on Earth, the seeds sent into space
A.can grow 100 times larger in size B.provide enough food for astronauts
C.stop growing when returning to Earth D.are more likely to show signs of ageing
【3】Which word can be filled in the blank to complete the research steps?
A.update B.observe C.protect D.improve
【4】What can we learn from what Alana Cama said?
A.Growing plants in unusual environments is no longer a challenging task.
B.A new generation of botanists and biologists takes the lead in the research.
C.The project inspires the interests of the young generation in creative fields.
D.The exploration of growing food in space is the central mission in the future.
