26、In many regions of Ghana, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. As a result, many people lose their lives to treatable illnesses. Osei Boateng experienced this personally when he lost his grandmother and aunt. Feeling an urgent call to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana.
Boateng started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation 2 years ago, he converted a van (厢式货车) into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distance to remote communities in Ghana and provide free routine medical care.
On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork as well as prescribe and provide medications. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people,” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another.
Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care. Boateng has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality mobile medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well.
Boateng has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices are well worth the reward. “Words cannot describe the feeling that you get providing care for someone who otherwise wouldn’t be alive if your mobile health van wasn’t there.”

27、 Facial recognition technology has been already widely used by governments and some advertising companies. The technology uses machine learning tools to search for faces in an attempt to identify people.
In a recent study, scientists announced they had developed machine learning tools to track the faces of individual wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩). Dan Schofield said that the system was developed to improve the quality of information collected about chimpanzees in the wild over a long period of time.
"For species like chimpanzees, which have complex social lives and live for many years, getting a snapshot of their behavior from short-term field research can tell us only so much," Schofield said.
The researchers wanted to get a more complete understanding of the lives of the chimpanzees by studying them over several generations. But doing this would have required searching through hundreds of hours of video recordings of chimpanzees in the wild.
The researchers recorded the activities of a group of chimpanzees that lived in the West African nation of Guinea. A facial recognition computer model was trained with more than 10 million images of the animals. The model was then used to search for, recognize and track individual chimpanzees. The system was able to identify individual chimpanzees correctly about 92 percent of the time. It successfully identified the animals' sex 96 percent of the time.
The study included an experiment with humans to see how they could perform against the machine learning system in making identification. Humans were able to correctly identify individual chimpanzees about 42 percent of the time. The machine learning tool was much faster in completing the experiment. Human experts took about 55 minutes, while the computer took only several seconds.
The researchers say they are permitting other scientists to use the system for similar projects. They hope the method will be used for other species to record animal behavior and monitor different animal populations in the environment.
【1】What can we infer from Schofield's words?
A.Researching chimpanzees needs more information.
B.Chimpanzees can live as long as humans.
C.Chimpanzees like to get a snapshot too.
D.Short-term field research provides more information.
【2】What does the underlined word "this" refer to?
A.Recording chimpanzees in the wild.
B.Studying chimpanzees over several years.
C.Understanding the lives of chimpanzees completely.
D.Getting a snapshot of chimpanzees' behavior.
【3】What did the experiment with humans prove in the study?
A.Humans make more accurate identification.
B.The machine learning system is more effective.
C.Humans can't identify the animals' sex correctly.
D.Machine learning tools take a little more time to identify the animals.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Facial Recognition for Animals Is Becoming Popular.
B.Facial Recognition Is Helping Animals Live in the Wild.
C.Facial Recognition Plays a Role in Raising Animals.
D.Facial Recognition Is Used to Identify and Track Animals.
28、The Earth is facing a climate crisis, but it’s also getting greener. According to a new research, the rise is largely because of China and India. A study by NASA, based on extensive satellite imagery, has revealed that the two countries with the world’s biggest populations are also responsible for the largest increase in green plants.
A third of the leaf increase is attributable to China and India, due to the implementation of major tree planting projects as well as a vast increase in agriculture. “China and India account for one-third of the greening, but contain only 9% of the planet’s land area covered in vegetation—a surprising finding, considering the large populations in the countries need much land, ” Chi Chen, the study’s lead author said in a statement.
Between 2000 and 2017, a NASA sensor gathered data of the Earth’s surface from aboard two satellites, the Terra and the Aqua. Using the data, researchers discovered that China is the source of a quarter of the increase in green leaf area, despite possessing only 6. 6% of the world’s vegetated area. Forests account for 42% of that increase, while croplands make up a further 32%. China’s increase in forest area is the result of forest conservation and expansion programs, established to combat the impacts of climate change and air pollution.
Rama Nemani, a researcher at NASA’s Ames Research Center, said in a statement, “When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to more leaf growth in northern forests, for instance. Now, with the data, we see that humans are also contributing, ” Nemani said. “This will help scientists make better predictions about the behavior of different Earth systems, which will help countries make better decisions about how and when to take action. ”
【1】What can we get from the new research by NASA?
A.China and India make a contribution to the Earth’s increasing greening.
B.China and India should be responsible for the world’s climate crisis.
C.China and India have the biggest populations and the most green plants.
D.The Earth no longer faces a climate crisis because of China and India’ efforts.
【2】Which of the following is NOT the fact from the passage?
A.China and India contribute one-third of the world’s greening growth.
B.China and India account for only 9% of the planet’s land area with vegetation.
C.A quarter of the increase in the world’s vegetated area is due to China’s efforts.
D.China’s forests and croplands make up 74% of the Earth’s increase in green leaf area.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph?
A.The protection of the forests.
B.The increased croplands.
C.The greening of the Earth.
D.The impacts of climate.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.China and India are making the Earth greener.
B.The Earth we live on is facing a climate crisis.
C.China and India are joining together to deal with climate change.
D.NASA released a report on air pollution in China and India.
