How are animals communicating with each other With the development
of Al, we may be able to understand their languages!
In Professor Karen Bakker's new book, The Sounds ofLife:How Digital
Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds ofAnimals and Plants, she talks about how Al
could act as a "translator(翻译)"between humans and animals.
All around the animal kingdom,there are sounds that we can hardly hear.Elephants,for example,
talk with each other using infrasound (次声波).Coral (珊瑚)in the ocean also sends sound waves to
lead baby coral to safer areas to grow. However, by putting field recorders in such environments,
scientists can collect these.
After the sounds are recorded,AI can study their meanings.A team of Israeli scientists used Al
to translate bats'15,000 calls.They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things:
food,sleep positions,personal space and unwanted advances.
This technology can help scientists not only understand animals' but also communicate back to
them.To study how bees use dances to speak,a research team in Germany put the bee language AI
system (系统)into a robot bee and hid it in a bee hive.The robot created a set of dance moves to
give orders like "Quiet down"or "Stop", and the other bees would follow.
AI gives other kinds of animals on Earth a chance to express themselves and makes it possible
for us to listen to them.But we also have to think about the problems it may bring.What if one day
humans could use animal robots to "talk" with real animals Will they use the technology to control or
hurt the animals
( )61.What is Karen Bakker's new book mainly about
A.How Al helps translate animals' sounds.
B.What role Al plays in protecting the animal kingdom.
C.How animals and plants communicate.
D.Why AI is used to research animals.
( )62.The underlined word "these"in Para.3 refers to “ ”.
A.elephants B.sound waves C.field recorders D.animal talks
( )63.How can Al help people understand animals
a.By teaching human language to animals.
b.By picking up sounds humans cannot hear.
c.By working out the meanings of animal sounds.
d.By training animals to understand robots' words.
e.By learning animal languages to talk with them.
A.a,b,c B.a,c,d C.c,e D.d,e
( )64.Why is the example of bees mentioned in Para.5
A.To tell that bees are clever animals.
B.To show how Al can help communicate with animals.
C.To stress the importance of learning the bee language.
D.To introduce robot bees' special abilities.
( )65.What's the author's attitude(态度)towards the use of the technology
