Tall, long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots which are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies. Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints, each giraffe has its own special pattern of spots. However, a Tennessee zoo made the headlines recently after it welcomed one of the world’s most uncommon giraffes.
On July 31, 2023, a baby giraffe was born at Brights Zoo with light brown fur which is a reticulated giraffe (网纹长颈鹿), one of the four different kinds of giraffes. Unlike most giraffes, she was born without spots, a unique feature of the reticulated giraffe. At six feet tall, this baby giraffe is growing well under her mother’s care. She shows typical baby giraffe behaviour, such as eating rocks. Experts said the young giraffe was the only single-coloured reticulated giraffe living anywhere on the planet. The last time this happened was 1972 in Japan. A giraffe’s pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother. That means that this giraffe will never have spots.
“The new giraffe might not have survived if she had been born in the wild. Being single-coloured, she may not be able to hide quite well,” said Mr David Bright, who runs the zoo. “It will easily be a key target for poachers (偷猎者) because she’s so unusual.”
Brights Zoo stressed that reticulated giraffes had already become imperiled. In 2018, they were officially listed as “threatened”. Thirty-five years ago, there were 36,000 reticulated giraffes. Now, the number has been cut by more than 50%. Only about 16,000 reticulated giraffes remain.
This brown giraffe’s birth is not only a rare and fascinating event, but also an opportunity to raise awareness of the challenges faced by giraffes in the wild. By supporting efforts like this, we can contribute to the conservation of these large creatures and ensure their survival for generations to come.
( )1.What do we learn from the spots of giraffes
A.They look like giraffes’ footprints.
B.The patterns of the spots are the same.
C.They appear on giraffes from time to time.
D.They are helpful in guarding against their enemies.
( )2.What’s unique about the young giraffe born at Brights Zoo
A.She has a large size.
B.She has light brown fur.
C.She has no spots.
D.She likes eating rocks.
( )3.What does the underlined word “imperiled” mean in Paragraph 4
A.Endangered. B.Recognized.
C.Rare. D.Abundant.
( )4.Which word can best describe the birth of the young giraffe
A.Embarrassing. B.Promising.
C.Significant. D.Foreseeable.

Facial recognition technology is mostly linked with uses such as the authentication (验证) of human faces, but scientists believe they’ve found a new use for it—saving seals.
Researchers have developed SealNet. The system is a database of seal faces created by taking pictures of many harbour seals in Maine’s Casco Bay. The research team found the tool was close to 100 percent correct in identifying (识别) seals.
The researchers are working on increasing the size of their database to make it available to other scientists. Increasing the database to include rare species could help efforts to save them. The Mediterranean monk seal is thought to be the world’s most at-risk seal with only a few hundred animals left.
Creating a list of seal faces and using machine learning to identify them can also help scientists know where in the ocean seals are. Ocean mammals move around a lot and are hard to photograph in the water. Scientists need to be able to identify individuals. SealNet is designed to identify the face in a picture. It recognizes the seal’s face based on information related to the eyes and nose shape, as it would a human. A similar tool called PrimNet, which is for use on primates, had been used on seals earlier, but SealNet performed better.
Seals and other ocean mammals have long been studied using satellite technology. Using AI to study them is a way to bring protection into the 21st century. Facial recognition technology could provide valuable data.
“Once the system is perfected, I can picture lots of interesting environmental uses for it,” said Michelle Berger, a scientist. “If they could recognize seals, and recognize them from year to year, that would give us lots of information about seals’ movement, how much they move from site to site.” She added that harbour seals give important information about the environment around them.
( )5.What can we learn about SealNet from the passage
A.It increases the size of the database.
B.It identifies seals correctly.
C.It performs worse than PrimNet.
D.It includes rare species movement.( )6.In what aspect does SealNet help us protect seals
A.It identifies which seal is at risk in the ocean.
B.It recognizes the shape of a seal in a picture.
C.It helps scientists know the location of the seals.
D.It gives information about the animals around seals.
( )7.According to Michelle Berger, what can the system do when it is perfected
A.It can provide information of the surroundings.
B.It can recognize the seals for a year.
C.It can increase the number of seals.
D.It can provide information about primates.
( )8.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To present a high-tech method to protect seals.
B.To introduce the species of seals.
C.To explain why seals are in danger.
D.To propose a new method to recognize seals.

individuals. SealNet is designed to identify the face in a picture.
It recognizes the seal's face based on information related to the
eyes and nose shape, as it would a human. A similar tool called
PrimNet, which is for use on primates, had been used on seals
earlier, but SealNet performed better.
Seals and other ocean mammals have long been studied
using satellite technology. Using AI to study them is a way to
bring protection into the 21st century. Facial recognition
technology could provide valuable data.

“Once the system is perfected, I can picture lots of
interesting environmental uses for it,” said Michelle Berger, a
scientist. “If they could recognize seals, and recognize them
from year to year, that would give us lots of information about
seals' movement, how much they move from site to site.” She
added that harbour seals give important information about the
environment around them.
