Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence(AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)in the wild. The new software will allow researchers and wildlife conservationists to significantly cut back on time spent analyzing videos, according to the new paper published in Science Advances.
For species(物种)like chimpanzees which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting photos of their behavior taken from short-term field research can only tell us so much,\says Dan Schofield, researcher and DPhil student at Oxford University's Private Models Lab, School of Anthropology. \video files, it makes it possible to measure behavior over the long term.\
The computer model was trained using over 10 million images(影像):from Kyoto University s Primate Research Institute(PRI) video files of wild chimpanzees in Guinea, West Africa. The new software is the first to continuously track and recognize individual a wide range of poses, performing with high accuracy in difficult conditions such as low lighting and poor image quality. \degree that was previously not possible,\student at the Department of Engineer Science, University of Oxford.\Additionally, our new software differs from previous primate face recognition software in that it can be applied to videos with limited manual intervention(人工干预), saving hours of time.\
The technology can be potentially used to monitor species for conservation Although the present application focuses on chimpanzees, the AI software provided will be applied to other species, and help drive the adoption of AI systems to solve(解决)a range of problems in the wildlife sciences.
（1）What is the purpose of developing the new soft? A.To save wildlife researchers' time spent in the labs. B.To keep track of wildlife conservationists' behaviors. C.To protect chimpanzees and help them to live longer. D.To recognize and track the faces of wild chimpanzees.
（2）What does the underlined word \ A.Getting photos. B.Analyzing videos. C.A powerful machine D.The new AI software.
（3）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A.The working principle of the new software. B.Some limitations of using the new software. C.The unique advantages of the new software. D.Controversial attitudes to the new software.
（4）What can be known from the last paragraph? A.Technology advance is the final goal of science B.The new software won't just be applied to chimpanzees. C.AI systems are widely used in the wildlife sciences. D.The application of the new technology isn't easy. 【答案】 （1）D （2）D （3）C （4）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新的人工智能软件，这种软件可以识别和追踪黑猩猩的面孔,大大节省了研究者和野生动物保护者的时间，而且它还可以应用到其他的物种研究。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的”Scientists at the University of Oxford have developed new artificial intelligence(AI) software to recognize and follow up the faces of chimpanzees(黑猩猩)in the wild. ”可知，新软件的开发是为了识别和追踪野外黑猩猩的面孔。故选D。 （2）考查代词指代。根据第一段的叙述及第二段中的“By taking advantage of the power of machine learning to unlock large video files…”可推断it指代第一段中提到的新的人工智能软件。故选D。
（3）考查段落大意。根据第四段的叙述可知，本段主要介绍了新软件与其他软件相比所具有的独特的优势。故选C。
（4）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“The technology can be potentially used to monitor species for conservation Although the present application focuses on chimpanzees, the AI software provided will be applied to other species. 可知，新的软件不仅被用在黑猩猩身上，它还将被用于其他物种。故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，代词指代和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

A university in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, has installed facial recognition systems in classrooms to monitor students' behavior, sparking a heated debate online. China Pharmaceutical University recently installed the systems in two pilot classrooms as well as school gates, dormitory entrances, the library and laboratory buildings.
Xu Jianzhen, director of the university's library and information center, told TbePaper.cn that the systems will help teachers check student attendance and monitor behavior during the lectures. \other students to check the attendance for them. Now with facial recognition, that would no longer be a problem,\you all the way through and can tell how long you lower your head, whether you're playing with a smart phone, whether you're dozing off or reading other books,\
The news has raised wide debate on Chinese social media, with many questioning if the cameras will violate students' privacy. A Sina Weibo user said: \not clear whether the systems are developed by the school itself or by third parties. If it is the latter, is there any regulation of security? Where will the information be sent and stored?\ Gan Xiangsi, a senior student from the university, said she welcomed the systems being applied in dormitories and libraries as this can help prevent personal belongings being stolen，but it is not necessary to use such technology in the classroom. \the teacher teaches well，the students will be interested,\she said. \the contrary, this kind of monitoring will make everyone feel resistant.\
China Pharmaceutical University is not the first university to use facial recognition technology on campus. Many universities across the country have installed cameras at campus entrances to ensure safety. But many are also hesitant when it comes to applying such technology in classrooms.
\National Institute of Education Sciences, told China National Radio. According to Chu, teachers and students who are under observation might not behave as they normally would since they know they are being watched. \should not be installed in classrooms merely for effective teaching purposes,\Chu said, as teachers are also being observed. He agreed that \is an important principle. \state of listening，and teachers may also not perform as well. Then real teaching will not occur,\he added.
（1）Which of the following is NOT the function of facial recognition systems? A.To help check student attendance. B.To help monitor student behavior. C.To help ensure student safety. D.To help protect student privacy
（2）What does the underlined word \ A.abandon B.attend C.dislike D.enjoy
（3）What's Chu Zhaohui's attitude towards installing cameras in classrooms? A.favorable B.indifferent C.unfavorable D.neutral
（4）What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage? A.To introduce the function of facial recognition systems. B.To express his preference for facial recognition systems. C.To express his strong dislike for facial recognition systems.
