26、Artificial intelligence (AI) could help stop one of the biggest dangers to the Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁), amazingly saving huge areas of coral(珊瑚) from a harmful starfish. Google has teamed with scientists from the CSIRO to create AI software(软件) that could pick out the dangerous starfish, which is one of the natural wonder’s three biggest killers.
The new way, using footage from an underwater camera to recognize starfish outbreaks on the Queensland reef, takes the place of an old method and early results show as well as cutting down man’s work, the new software has the advantage of correctly picking out more of the dangerous life on coral, stopping damaging outbreaks before they occur.
Professor Russ Babcock, an expert with CSIRO, said Google’s AI technology, developed over 18 months, could be trained to find out starfish more easily than the old method developed in the 1970s. “We used to send out divers to count the starfish one by one. Now we just look at the images collected and the program can find 20 at a time,” he said.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said he was excited about the company’s effort put into the reef project. “We have put a lot of effort into the engineering in Australia and we will continue to do more work around AI there,” he said. “There are other good ideas about the technology and you will see us build on it. Our goal with our AI research teams is to strike partnerships with other groups, like universities and governments, to give its full play.”
Professor Babcock said the AI software, which would be put into use on other reefs worldwide, was not the only solution to the starfish affecting the Great Barrier Reef, but one that could have an wide application.
【1】What is the function of Google developing the AI software?
A.To test a new camera.

A.It is less likely to break down.
B.It can be started more quickly.
C.It costs less for its development.
D.It can do the work more easily.
【3】What’s Sundar Pichai’s attitude towards the reef project?
A.Doubtful.
B.Uncaring.
C.Disapproving.
D.Supportive.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

27、Four Family-friendly Autumn Walks in the UK
With the coming of autumn, we have decided to make a list of autumn walks for you and the whole family. These places will include historic buildings, wonderful scenery and wildlife for all to enjoy.
Formby Nature Reserve, Liverpool
Formby is a coastal town just north of Liverpool and is luckily one of the few places in Britain where there are a large number of red squirrels(松鼠). Children will love the excitement of getting to see these cute animals. The paths are well protected, meaning they are fit for pushchairs. And dogs are allowed, too.
Hadrian's Wall, Newcastle
The 73-mile-long Hadrian's Wall was completed by the Romans in 128 AD after 6 years' building. Autumn walks along Hadrian's Wall are an excellent way to educate children on the history of the British Isles and really get up close to the styles of Roman buildings rather than just see it in a textbook!
Lyme Park, Peak District
Not only is Lyme Park home to many trees, it is also home to a group of medieval(中世纪的)red deer and a huge Edwardian country manor(庄园). This Peak District walk is quite fit for families, and along the way are playgrounds and tree houses, making sure that the little ones that you are with will never feel bored.
Lakeside Walk at Stowe, Buckinghamshire
This place is on the outskirts of London and provides people with perfect chances to escape from the busy city lifestyle. The flat and wide path around the river makes it more than fit for pushchairs or wheelchairs. This walk is short in length, meaning it is a great way to introduce any young one to walking as a hobby. The walk is great all year round.

The selfie became famous after being posted on Facebook by Mathieu Shamavu. So far, it has been shared more than 20,000 times.
