What can a seal teach us about the deep ocean?Plenty as long as it's wearing satellite-linked devices on its head.Clive McMahon,who works on an elephant seal tagging project at the University of Tasmania in Australia,said that deep-diving seals can provide scientists with a wealth of information on the structure of the ocean floor.
To gather this information,McMahon and his team attached small satellite-linked devices to seals.The devices took measurements of temperature and depth as the seals swam.Since 2004,McMahon's team has tracked more than 500,000 individual seal dives beneath the East Antarctic continental shelf,which is the edge of a continent that lies under the ocean.
“Given the remote nature of Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean,only a small part of the Antarctic continental shelf was surveyed by ships in the past,” McMahon said.“So the information available about this area is sparse.” But seals are helping scientists fill in the pieces to this puzzle.In July 2023,McMahon and his team published a study about their work with deep-diving seals in a scientific journal.
Information from seal dives is helping scientists understand how the ocean affects Antarctica's role in global climate.“We found in some regions that more than 25 percent of previous estimates of the ocean depths were wrong,” said Mark Hindell,who also worked on the study.“We only know this now because the seals were diving hundreds of meters below those depths.In the most extreme cases,they dived more than 1,000 meters (3,281 feet) deeper than what we thought was the ‘ocean floor’.”
The data,or information,from the dives also revealed new underwater features,including troughs,which are long,wide and deep sunken areas in the ocean floor.Thanks to the seals,the scientists also found a deep canyon near the Vanderford Glacier,which is as low-moving river of ice hundreds or thousands of meters deep.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海豹如何通过佩戴卫星连接设备来帮助科学家研究深海的情况。
1.What is the main purpose of the article
A.Analyzing East Antarctic shelf's geography.
B.Discussing ocean impacts on climate change.
C.Describing satellite devices in ocean research.
D.Introducing seals' role in collecting ocean data.
解析 D 写作意图题。根据第一段的内容和第二段中的“To gather this information ... took measurements of temperature and depth as the seals swam.”,再结合全文内容可知,文章讨论了海豹如何通过佩戴与卫星相连的设备,为科学家提供有关深海的宝贵信息,包括温度、深度和水下特征。即本文的主要目的是介绍海豹在收集海洋数据中的作用。故选D。
2.Which is closest in meaning to “sparse” in paragraph 3
A.Limited. B.Plentiful.
C.Complex. D.Unrelated.
解析 A 词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句可知,只有一小部分南极大陆架被船只勘测过,由此可推断,这个地区的可用信息不多。故画线单词意为“很少,有限”。故选A。
3.Why is the seal-gathered data considered important
A.Seals dive deeper than other marine animals.
B.Seals are able to replace extensive ship surveys.
C.Seals are equipped with advanced technology in devices.
D.Seals access remote ocean areas beyond human's knowledge.
解析 D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘Given the remote nature of Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean...’ But seals are helping scientists fill in the pieces to this puzzle.”以及第四段的内容可知,海豹可以进入人类所知甚少的遥远海域,所以海豹收集的数据是很重要的。故选D。
4.What might the article continue talking about
A.The impact of seal dives on ocean ecosystem research.
B.The challenges faced by scientists in tracking seal dives.
C.The significance of the newly discovered underwater features.
D.The applications of satellite-linked devices in other animal studies.
解析 C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知,最后一段介绍了科学家们通过海豹在Vanderford冰川附近发现了一个很深的峡谷,由此可推测,文章接下来可以分析这个新发现的意义。故选C。
Ⅳ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Should We Be Concerned About AI
Recently,the European Union passed a draft of the first major law to govern artificial intelligence (AI).Policymakers in China and the United States are working on similar guidelines. 1 There are crucial issues to consider.
AI-generated content may spread misinformation.AI systems such as chatbots can create polished articles that look like something a person wrote.However,chatbots get their information from the Internet,and they cannot distinguish between reliable facts and false reports.As a result,a chatbot's articles may include inaccurate information. 2
AI risks copyright issues.During training,AI systems often add copyrighted works to their databases.Later,when an AI system creates new content such as a drawing,the picture may have the nose of a copyrighted image. 3 Jonathan Taplin,film producer and author,is against such use of AI.He feels licenses are needed to protect artists when AI uses their copyrighted material in its training.
4 Professor Debby Cotton at Plymouth Marjon University placed her name on an article written by a chatbot.Then,she succeeded in having it published in an education journal.Cotton wanted to prove that ChatGPT is writing at a very high level. Teachers must search for clues to detect it.In addition,Cotton warns students that cheating steals their chance to learn key skills they will later need.
AI raises many concerns regarding the product it creates and the privacy and protection of people from whom it learns. 5
A.What are these guidelines about
B.Such articles could mislead people.
C.AI writing tests academic integrity.
D.AI is used in the classroom extensively.
E.Also,AI's new tune may sound like a popular song.
F.Why do governments want to monitor this technology
G.Laws to guide such powerful technology are necessary.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人工智能可能带来的风险,包括虚假信息传播、版权问题以及教育领域的挑战,强调了对其进行监管的必要性。
1.F 设空处上文提及欧盟通过了管控人工智能的重大法律草案,中国和美国也在制定类似的指导方针,设空处下一句指出有关键问题需要考虑。F项“为什么政府想要监管这项技术?”能够合理承接上文提到的各国出台相关举措这一现象,引出下文阐述的AI带来的一系列具体问题。
2.B 设空处位于段尾,应与上一句构成紧密逻辑关系。上一句提到聊天机器人等AI系统生成的文章可能包含不准确信息,B项“这样的文章可能会误导人们”正是上一句所导致的结果。
3.E 上文提到AI系统在训练过程中常把有版权的作品加入其数据库,在创作新内容时会出现版权相关问题。E项“而且,AI创作的新曲调可能听起来像一首流行歌曲”则是从音乐创作领域进一步举例说明AI在创作时可能存在的版权问题,与上文从不同创作角度阐释版权问题的逻辑相符。
4.C 设空处位于段落首句,为段落主题句。下文讲述Debby Cotton教授把聊天机器人写的文章拿去发表,以及教授提醒学生警惕AI作弊、指出作弊会剥夺学生学习关键技能的机会等事例,都是围绕C项“AI写作对学术诚信构成了挑战”展开的。
5.G 设空处位于末段结尾,应能总结全文内容。上文详细列举了AI在生成内容方面会传播错误信息、存在版权问题,以及给教师教学等方面带来的诸多令人担忧的问题,综合来看,鉴于AI带来了这么多问题,G项“监管这种强大技术的法律是必要的”是解决这些问题的方法,此项内容也与首段呼应。
Ⅴ.语法填空(每小题1.5分,共15分)
“Wufeng Chaoyang (五凤朝阳)” is a unique cultural treasure of Taiyang Town in Lin'an District.It is not just a lantern dance but also 1. symbol of the local people's expectations for a better life.
