21、People with genetic syndromes(综合症) sometimes have telltale (泄露秘密的) facial features, but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis can be tricky given there are hundreds of possible conditions they may have. A new neural network that analyzes photographs of faces can help doctors narrow down the possibilities.

Yaron Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look at the gestalt --- or overall impression --- of faces and return a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a person is most likely to have.

They trained the neural network, called DeepGestalt, on 17,000 images correctly labelled to match more than 200 genetic syndromes. The team then asked the AI to identify potential genetic disorders from a further 502 photos of people with such conditions. It included the correct answer 91 per cent of the time.

Gurovich and his team also tested the neural network’s ability to distinguish between the different genetic mutations (变异) that can lead to the same syndrome. They used photographs of people with Noonan syndrome, which can result from mutations in any one of five genes. DeepGestalt correctly identified the genetic source of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time. It’s clearly not perfect, but it’s still much better than humans are at trying to do this.

As the system makes its assessments, the facial regions that were most helpful in the determination are highlighted and made available for doctors to view. This helps them to understand the relationships between genetic make-up and physical appearance.

The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions about privacy. If faces can reveal details about genetics, then employers and insurance providers could, in principle, secretly use such techniques to discriminate against people who have a high probability of having certain disorders. However, Gurovich says the tool will only be available for use by clinicians(临床医生). Clinically, this technology can help narrow down the search space of diagnosis and then confirm through checking genetic markers. Besides, it could perhaps add means of finding other people with the disease and, in turn, help find new treatments or cures.

【1】What’s the best title of this text?

A．Tricky facial features

B．Faces let AI spot genetic disorders

C．Facial features give you away to doctors

D．DeepGestalt: a magic cure for genetic syndromes

【2】What can we know about DeepGestalt?

A．It can be trained to correctly label the images of people.

B．It can correctly identify genetic mutations 91% of the time.

C．It was built to look at faces and identify genetic disorders.

D．It is much better than humans at trying to identify physical appearance.

【3】Why are certain facial regions highlighted in the assessment process?

A．To help confirm the diagnosis.

B．To make the system more understandable.

C．To help the system quickly recognize people.

D．To help identify a condition and make a diagnosis.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the technology?

A．Positive.

B．Neutral.

C．Indifferent.

D．Critical.

22、PAGE ONE

Water Supply of the World

The Antarctic Icecap is the largest supply of fresh water, nearly 2 % of the world’s total of fresh and salt water. As can be seen from the table below, the amount of water in our atmosphere is over ten times as large as the water in all the rivers taken together. The fresh water actually available for human use in lakes and rivers and the accessible ground water amounts to only about one third of one percent of the world’s total water supply.

A．the Atlantic Icecap

B．the Arctic Icecap and glaciers

C．the water in the atmosphere

D．the Antarctic Icecap

【2】According to Page One, we are pretty sure that ________ account for the lowest level of the total water supply on the earth.

23、“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone coming up to the canyon’s edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like ‘got it – done’, barely even glancing at the magnificent scene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.

Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends’ birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.

They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel’s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.

In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students’ memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.

‘‘When people rely on technology to remember them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.

But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren’t in the frame.

So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn’t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.

“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren’t usually very organized on their computers.

【1】Why did the author mention Henkel’s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning?

A. To complain about some tourists’ bad habits.

B. To give suggestions on how to enjoy one’s tour.

C. To point out people’s obsession with taking pictures.

D. To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.

【2】What can we learn from Henkel’s study?

A. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories easily.

B. Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.

C. People should spend more time taking pictures than studying real objects.

D. Pictures focusing on the details of objects probably improve people’s memories.

【3】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to “________”.

A. the camera   B. technology

C. the event   D. an object

【4】What is the article mainly about?

A. People’s obsession with taking pictures and its influence.

B. Possible ways of using pictures to improve one’s memory.

C. Great harm to memory caused by taking pictures constantly.

D. A believable study into the negative impact of lining cameras often.

24、Bird lovers will want to flock to a new room designed for Sweden’s Trechotel. Designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) in cooperation with UIf Ohman, a zoologist who studies birds, Biosphere is a suspended room surrounded by 350 birdhouses. Sheltered into the treetops, it will strengthen the natural environment by increasing the bird population and give visitors a special connection with these feathered friends.

The room, which is Treehotel’s eighth, opens in May and features a hold, experimental design. Each on-site wooden house interacts with nature and Biosphere is no different. The 3800-square-foot Biosphere is accessed by a suspended bridge and is designed to involve guests in the surrounding forests. After spending time at Treehotel, BIG founder Bjarke Ingels wanted to take the concept of involvement and push it even further.

“Almost instantly, the idea of not only the human visitors but also the resident hind and bat population to cohabit a globe-shaped group of nests came to life,” Ingels shares.

BIG worked closely with Ohman to create birdhouses of different sizes to attract different birds. These birdhouses stick out from the above, creating different Ievels and allowing light to enter the space while preserving the view. Ohmam hopes that the initiative will inspire others to build their own birdhouses and provide new habitats for the decreasing bind population in morthem Sweden.

Inistde Biosphere, the space is divided on a split level. The plan has a lower living area and upper seeping area. The rich dark inside and organic materials are inspired by the surrounding forest in an effort to stimulate   visitors to look outward and enjoy the landscape.

With Biosphere, Treehotel has accomplished its goal of having rooms designed by architects from every Scandinavian country. Snohetta and Inrednin Gegruppen are just two of the firms that have also designed incredible wooden houses for the hotel, which opened in 2010.

【1】What is Biosphere?

A．A bird nest.

B．A treetop hotel.

C．A room of a hotel.

D．A bird-watching shelter.

【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The design concept.

B．The specific outlook.

C．The unique structure.
