Top Four Artificial Intelligence Trends
Personal and Generative AI
Through wide use of Chat GPT3, the researchers have discovered the power of language models and their roles in real-world, real-time handwriting of marketing information. Personal and Generative AI will use the latest developments in deep language networks and advances in image processing to create messages for the customers’ unique online characters.
Edge AI
Edge AI, represents highly developed computing technology. Edge computing enables real-time processing, bringing analysis (分析) closer to the data source. Despite its young age, Edge AI projects a market size of more than $3 billion by 2027, and gains power because it reduces energy use largely through local analysis and deals with privacy issues.
Internet Safety AI
The average data damage cost in the United States in 2023 was $9. 44 million. Since 51% of workers work remotely, AI will be important in guarding against Internet risks. Advanced systems will also make servers and software easier while providing cloud-based services, real-time staff monitoring and threat discovery.
Low-Code/ No-Code AI
By 2026, 80% of all new users in the no-code (无代码) area will be using low-code AI optimization (优化). This change toward increased non-technical participation in AI promises to popularize its use across different industries and companies of all sizes. Project managers may make real-time data analysis simple while doing AI optimization thanks to no-code platforms like Sway AI.
1. Which AI best suits users in language processing
A. Edge AI. B. Personal and Generative AI.
C. Internet Safety AI. D. Low-Code/ No-Code AI.
2. What is a key feature of Internet Safety AI
A. Monitoring danger. B. Analyzing images.
C. Conducting computing. D. Using low code.
3. What do the four trends have in common
A. They have been fully developed. B. They deal with privacy problems.
C. They do real-time data processing. D. They are widely used in industries.
B
As people age, they often share common desires: to remain in their own homes, to maintain their independence for as long as possible, and to rely on family and friends for support when necessary. This concept (概念) of staying in their home as they age is known as “aging in place”. However, many older adults and their families have concerns about safety and daily activities.
When Weakley lived 400 miles from her 82-year-old grandmother, Janet Dibkey, who was living alone and showing early signs of memory loss, the long distance and lack of care brought Weakley constant worry. Janet Dibkey is among more than 90% of older adults who want to spend their later years in their own homes. Weakley is one of more than 53 million Americans as a caregiver. She is also a researcher helping older Americans maintain independence through communication tools and technology.
Created in partnership with caregivers and other experts, Weakley designed the Interactive Care Platform, or I-Care, to connect older adults experiencing mental disability to their family members who live apart for support in completing these important daily activities, such as managing medicine, paying bills on time and remembering to attend appointments.
I-Care has a homepage that lists weather conditions, upcoming events and recent caregiver messages, and a calendar that can be changed by both the care receiver and caregiver. Besides, there is a messaging center where care partners can send messages and make video calls and a goals section where individuals can track brain health behaviors such as exercise and cognitive (认知) engagement.
“Dr. Weakley’s creative work is very exciting because she is using technology to support families in ways that are both practical and meaningful. It addresses social isolation and loneliness in the care receiver and stress and worry in the caregiver, which is important for well-being in daily life for both people with memory loss and their families,” a reporter from USA Today said.
4. What do we learn about older people according to paragraph 1
A. They aren’t concerned about safety. B. They only depend on family for care.
C. They prefer to stay in their homes. D. They don’t have enough daily activities.
5. Why was Weakley worried about her grandmother
A. Her grandmother wanted to live on her own.
B. Her grandmother suffered from a serious disease.
C. She couldn’t live up to her grandmother’s expectations.
D. She couldn’t look after her grandmother for living far.
6. Which of the following best describes I-Care
A. It ensures the safety of older people. B. It provides effective medical treatment.
C. It prevents memory loss of older members. D. It benefits both older people and their families.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. I-Care Helping Older Adults Age in Place.
B. New Tech Changing the Life of Older People.
C. I-Care Reducing the Stress of the Elderly People.
D. New Tech Treating Older Adults for Memory Loss.
C
A fairy penguin, also known as a little penguin, lives on the coastal areas of southern Australia and New Zealand. Fairy penguins are important to the ecosystem because they eat fish, which benefits the ocean’s food chain balance. They also help fertilize (施肥) the land with their waste, which helps plants grow. But pollution causes a threat to them. Plastic waste in the ocean can harm the penguins by getting caught around their necks or in stomachs, leading to injury or death.
Plastic pollution is a growing problem in our oceans, and it is having a serious impact on the health of sea life, including penguins. The digestion of plastic waste can lead to hunger and other health problems. Studies have found that penguins have digested plastic waste such as bottle caps and fishing lines. Plastic debris (碎片) can be mistaken by penguins, as it can resemble food in size, shape and color. Once eaten, the plastic remains in their stomachs, causing blockages, which can impact the penguins’ overall health.
Plastic waste can also affect the behavior of fairy penguins. Studies have shown that plastic pollution can have an effect on the normal behavior of penguins, leading to decreased food intake and reduced reproductive success. The digestion of plastic waste has also been found to cause stress in penguins, leading to changed behavior and a decreased ability to cope with other stress.
To deal with the issue of plastic pollution, conservation (保护) work has been done to protect the penguins. These efforts include protecting their habitats, reducing pollution, cleaning the beach and educating people about how they can help. Scientists are also working to better understand the impacts of climate change so they can develop more effective ways. Some efforts have already had success, such as reducing oil pollution and protecting breeding sites. However, these are far from enough. We must take early action to reduce pollution and address climate change, not just for the penguins, but for all sea lives.
8. Which statement about fairy penguins will the author probably disagree with
A. They are endangered animals. B. They contribute to plants growing.
C. They might get injured by plastic waste. D. They help keep the ocean’s food balanced.
9. What does the underlined word “resemble” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Cut off. B. Look like. C. Depend on. D. Crash into.
10. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2 and 3
A. The efforts made to protect penguins. B. The ways to solve plastic pollution.
C. The causes of plastic waste in the ocean. D. The effects of plastic pollution on penguins.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The efforts made haven’t yet got good results.
B. More efforts need to be done to protect penguins.
C. Some conservation ways are difficult to carry out.
D. The impacts of climate change haven’t been understood.
D
Educated is a memoir (回忆录) by Tara Westover a woman who grows up as the youngest of seven in a rural Idaho Mormon community. She and her brothers were all born at home and are homeschooled, and her parents are deeply doubtful about the government. Her father fears that public education standards are just brainwashing.
The story is told in three parts. Part One details her childhood. Westover describes her father’s radicalization (激进). In Part Two, Westover goes to college at BYU. She describes the culture shock of being confused about what the Holocaust (大屠杀) was. Then she has to learn about history and struggles through her first romantic relationship. Finally in Part Three, Westover goes to Cambridge for her PhD, attempts to face her family issues and brings us up to date with her life now.
Educated is an attractive book on various levels. As a personal journey for Westover, it’s successful. Westover goes from receiving little education to eventually getting her PhD at Cambridge. As a story, it’s unique. Westover’s experiences make for a different viewpoint. And as a reader, it’s interesting to consider how her views are shaped.
To be honest, in the beginning Educated was not on my reading list until it became a real hit. It’s highly personal and not a topic I am particularly interested in. I feel that perhaps Westover wrote this book too soon. It seems like the story we’re reading is the one she’s built on purpose to make sense of everything that happened to her. I imagine she still has a longer journey to really process it all and what it means. And, when the book concludes, things are largely unsolved with her family. However, Westover’s story of struggle has inspired a lot of readers, including me. Besides, from this book I have a better understanding that education is really an important process of self-discovery — of developing a sense of self and what you think.
12. Why are Tara and her brothers homeschooled
A. They can’t afford to go to school. B. There aren’t schools in the community.
C. Their parents don’t trust the government. D. Their parents are well educated to teach them.
13. What can we know about Tara Westover from Educated
A. She has a happy childhood. B. She’s awarded her PHD at BYU.
C. She once suffered culture shock. D. She has trouble getting on with others.
14. What may first cause the author to choose the book
A. It is quite enjoyed by readers. B. Its topic attracts the author.
C. The story is very interesting. D. Its content is new to the author.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards this book
A. Uncertain. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Subjective.

It was a sunny day. James Dotson was laboring in his garden when a loud, painful cry came from the woods behind his home. Realizing something wrong must have happened, he rushed towards the woods quickly. Soon he found an injured baby deer lying in a pit (深坑), one of his skinny legs bleeding. So weak was the little deer that it didn’t have the strength to move when Dotson approached. He squatted (蹲下) and stretched out his hands to the deer with great care and pulled it up.
As he carried the little deer towards their home, his daughter Maggie rushed outside and greeted her father with great excitement.
“Wow, a deer! What happened to him, Daddy ” asked Maggie.
“Well, the poor deer’ left leg is hurt badly.” Mr. Dotson said gently while walking into the sitting room.
Maggie followed her father to take a better look. “Poor little deer. Can we keep him, Daddy And I will call him Paxton.”
“That’s a fine name for a deer, Maggie. We’ll do everything we can to help him,” smiled Mr. Dotson. “But we can’t keep him. He’s a wild animal.”
After Mr. Dotson carefully placed the little deer on the floor, he asked Maggie to go to the kitchen and get his medical bag. The little deer was in luck. He was being attended to by James Dotson, the local Veterinarian.
In a flash, Maggie rushed outside carrying his medical bag and a small carrot she had grabbed from the refrigerator. Maggie handed her father the bag and then placed the carrot by Paxton’s mouth, but the poor creature wasn’t interested. It was so unsettled, hardly able to eat anything and had such an air of sadness on its face. Maggie was worried and sad. However, her father convinced her that Paxton would be ok.

【47题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
Paxton was taken good care of in their home. Mr. Dotson attended to Paxton’s injured leg. Maggie never left home without feeding him first thing every morning. With time and effort, not only did the deer get his strength back, but he began to eat carrots right out of Maggie’s hand. Everything went on well until Mr. Dotson said it was time to set Paxton free. Maggie shook her head and refused. Patting her gently on the head Mr. Dotson said, “Paxton needs to be with his parents, just like you. You love Paxton and wish him happy, right ” Maggie seemingly understood and nodded her head.
Now it was time to send Paxton to where it belonged—nature. Paxton walked into the woods with Mr. Dotson and Maggie, running and jumping. Maggie kissed Paxton, “It’s time for you to reunite with your parents. I will miss you, Paxton.” Away ran Paxton quickly. Maggie couldn’t help crying. Suddenly, she found Paxton stopped in his tracks and looked back at her as if trying to convey deep, unspoken gratitude. After a few seconds, he disappeared into the woods. Bathed in the golden sunlight, and hugged tightly by her father, Maggie finally understood the true meaning of love.
