19、experts, Ella Millsunder her nickname Deliciously Ellawas a best-selling author at 24 with more than a million followers on Instagram.However, in 2011, when she launched her blog featuring plant-based recipes and beautifully shot food, Ella could never have predicted how influential she would become
20、. Her approach to eating inspired a wave of followers, with many promoting the new trend for clean eating.But then came the strong reaction. With Instagram filled with social media stars selling diets that advised cutting out whole food groups, the clean-eating movement came under fire from health p
21、rofessionals who argued it was unhealthy and could cause eating disorders.Ella, who follows a plant-based diet, was caught in the crossfire even though. She says its a term she has never used herself. “Clean eating is never a phrase that I use. I think the term is incredibly confusing. Nobody knows
22、what it means,“ she says. “To say one thing is clean implies another is dirty. We do need to be healthier as a society but the more we make food a negative conversation, the less were going to help people.“Ella does, however, urge caution when taking advice from so-called fitness experts online. “It
23、s great that there are loads of recipes and ideas, but you have to be conscious about what youre reading. Are you getting all the facts or just one view?“ she says. “Instagram is a platform for inspiration and ideas, but it is not real life. Its something that encourages constant comparison with oth

While rock art is found all around the globe, Murujuga rock art in Australia is relatively unique because there are still cultural connections between rock art and the people w
28、ho created it. Murujuga rock art in Australia meets three standards for outstanding, universal value: the creative talent and skill of the artwork; the extraordinarily old and continuous engraving (雕刻)tradition; and the combined cultural landscapes of the area, including quarries, living sites, and
29、shell middens. These show significant changes in human history, including major ones in sea level and surrounding 4environment.When people first started using this landscape 50,000 years ago, it was located around 100 km from the coast. It was wetter and warmer than it is now and the archaeological
30、(考古的) record of the coastal plain at this time shows an entire group of animals no longer found in this part of Australia now. Murujugas artists engraved some of these animals, such as crocodiles. Then, during the last ice age (between 30,000 and 18,000 years ago), the coastline was even further awa
31、y (160 km). People were living in the Murujuga Ranges at this time. There are a number of engravings of animals that are now extinct, such as a fat-tailed species of kangaroo, which prove the changing environment.Around 8,000 years ago, people began to construct houses. Art production at this time w
32、as also in full swing. The most recent rock art includes turtles, fish as well as the small rock wallabies, a small kangaroo, which now live on the islands.As well as houses there are many stone arrangements, standing stones and terraces. This is a monumental hunter-gatherer-fisherperson landscape,
33、which is equal to the period in Europe when people were constructing stone monuments such as Stonehenge (巨石阵) (except in Europe this occurred thousands of years later). The artworks in Murujuga were made on the rocks using stone tools. Together they show how people have been living in the region for
34、 thousands of years.28What is unique about the Murujuga artwork?AIt meets our latest standards for beauty.BIt is the oldest engraving tradition.CIt was created by a rock art expert.DIt combines culture with human creativity perfectly.29What can we learn about animals living 50,000 years ago?AThey li

37、s are dropping sharply due to logging, agriculture, and climate change. Scientists keep track of species by recording their calls, but even the best computer programs cant reliably distinguish bird calls from other sounds. Now, thanks to a bit of crowdsourcing and a lot of artificial intelligence (A
38、I) algorithms (算法), researchers say they have something to talk about.AI algorithms can be as finicky as finches, often requiring manual checking and retraining for each new location or species. So a group of researchers launched the Bird Audio Detection challenge, which released hours of recordings
39、 from environmental monitoring stations around Chernobyl, Ukraine, which they happened to have access to, as well as crowd-sourced recordings, some of which came from an app called Warblr.Humans labeled (标记) each 10-second part as containing a bird call or not. Using so-called machine learning, in w
40、hich computers learn from data, 30 teams trained their AIs on a set of the recordings for which labels were provided and then tested them on recordings.At the end of the month-long competition, the best algorithm scored 89 out of 100 on a statistical measure of performance called AUC. A higher numbe
41、r, in this case, indicates the algorithm managed to avoid labeling non-bird sounds as bird sounds (humans, insects, or rain often threw them off) and avoid missing real bird sounds (usually because of unclear recordings), the organizers report. The best previous algorithm they tested had an AUC scor
42、e of 79.The algorithm on the top of the pecking order could even generalize well enough to score 84 on samples of nocturnal (夜行的). Bird calls that were very brief and hard to analyze and very different from the training sounds. The algorithms cant outperform humans (who were used to labelling the da
43、ta in the first place), but machines can 5operate all day and night and dont mind the rain. Its only a matter of time before an AI hatched from this competition takes flight in the real world.32What is the purpose of recording the calls of birds?ATo record climate change.BTo test out some computer p
44、rograms.CTo figure out the reason for worsening environment.DTo pay attention to what happened to birds.33What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?AAI algorithms focus on locations.BAI algorithms have many advantages.CAI algorithms are complex and difficult to handle.DAI algorithms are
45、very popular among scientists.34What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?ATest the AI algorithms with recordings.BPresent the scientific method of the test.CProve the accuracy of the AI algorithms.DExplain the theoretical foundation of the competition.35What can be inferred from the last two
46、 paragraphs?AThe AI algorithm has improved in telling bird calls from other sounds.BThe test of the nocturnal bird calls scored highest.CThe statistical measure AUC used in the research was on trial.DThe AI algorithm often labeled non-bird sounds as bird sounds.第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分, 满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短

And for young children, who are in a horizontal face-down position, they are unable to keep the mouth above the waters surface at all._38_They have to be able to breathe before they can speak. When people are drowning, their mouths sink below and reappears above the sur
49、face of the water. There isnt time for them to exhale, inhale, and call out.They dont seem in troubleSometimes the most important indicator that people are drowning is that they dont look like they are drowning. They may just seem to be looking up at the sky, shore, pool deck, or dock. Ask them, “Are you all right?” If they cannot answer at all, they probably are drowning. _
