3．根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。
Wearing a white blouse, Ai-Da
studies her subject and begins to draw. She looks like any artist at work.
However, the "beep ... beep ... beep" noise from her arm gives her
away. Ai-Da is, in fact, a robot.
Ai-Da has been described as the
world's "first Al (人工智能) robot artist". She takes her name from Ada Lovelace, the
world's first female computer programmer. Scientists at Oxford University
developed Al systems (系统) for Ai-Da. The robot has
cameras in her eyeballs. After she has studied a subject, she will use her left
arm to draw. Now, Ai-Da can only use a pencil for sketches (素描).The plan is for her to paint.
Ai-Da is not the first Al system
to produce artworks. Since 2006, scientists have been developing software (软件) to turn photos
into drawings. Last year, an artwork created using Al was sold in New York
for$432,500. However, Ai-Da's human-like appearance." brings something new
to the field.
In June, Ai-Da opened her first
exhibition at Oxford. Then were about 30 drawings by the robot. Ai-Da, standing
next to her artworks, attracted (吸引) many visitors.
Ai-Da's inventor, Aidan Meller,
talked about the importance of the robot. "Ai-Da bring a new voice to the
art world," she said "Al is going to be the big thing of the 2020s.
That influences us greatly." Meller hopes the exhibition was just the
start and that more will follow to show how AI is influencing human life.
（1）Ai-Da is a real artist who helps scientists at Oxford University
develop Al systems.
（2）Last year, scientists began to develop software to turn photos into
drawings.
（3）In June, Ai-Da opened her first exhibition at Oxford successfully.
（4）Aidan Meller thinks AI is going to influence human life more and
more greatly.

The longest river in the world is
the Nile. It is 4,160 miles long. But the Nile is not the mightiest (浩荡的) river. The Amazon
is. The Amazon is also the second longest river in the world. It is 3,900 miles
long. How long is that It is longer than a road going from New York City to
San Francisco.
The Amazon is the mightiest for
this reason. It has the greatest amount of water. More water runs out to sea
than from the Nile. Mississippi, and Yangtze rivers combined. That's a lot of
fresh water! The force of its current (水流) is great too. The current can be seen
200 miles out in the sea. There's a story to show the Amazon's amazing current.
A ship sailed (航行) far away from Brazil. It ran out of
drinking water. Another ship passed by. The first ship asked for water. Someone
on the second ship said. "Just put your buckets (桶)
into the sea."
Here are a few more facts. At its
mouth, the Amazon is 90 miles wide. Even up the river, you can't see the
opposite bank. The river is also very deep(from 22 to 76 meters). During rainy
season, the river rises about 16 meters more. Big ocean ships can sail about
1,800 miles upstream (向上游). Smaller ships can sail 1,000 miles farther.
What's the most bloodthirsty fish
in the world No. It's not the shark It's the Amazon's piranha.It is only about
10 cm to 20 cm long. It has sharp teeth. Thousands travel in a
group. No animal can swim across the river. A 1,000-pound horse would be just
bones (骨头) in three minutes. Are you planning a trip to the Amazon Here's a
piece of advice. Leave your swimsuit at home!
