21、Sevenhugs HugOne

Do you want to improve the quality of your sleep? Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for sleep patterns of children and adults.

HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data are then sent to an app on the smartphone.

● The benefits of HugOne include:

* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.

* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living space.

* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.

* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed, it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.

● The following are selected from customers’ comments:

I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.

—Robert Compton

● HugOne available for purchase includes:

I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base in my house. All my family members think highly of it.

—Chris Hanawalt

HugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep. If you want to get more detailed information, please call the sellers at 1-800-576-1899 or visit devicesforbettersleep.com.

22、Every morning at five o’clock, composer (作曲家) Walter Werzowa would sit down at his computer waiting for a particular daily e-mail. It came from a team that had been working all night to draft Beethoven’s unfinished 10th Symphony. The e-mail contained hundreds of versions, and Werzowa listened to them all, looking for the perfect tune—a sound that was unmistakably Beethoven. But the phrases he was listening to weren’t composed by Beethoven. They were created by artificial intelligence.

When Ludwig van Beethoven died in 1827, he left behind some musical drafts and notes. There was barely enough to make out a phrase, let alone a whole symphony. But that didn’t stop people from trying.

Werzowa and a group of music experts and computer scientists teamed up to use machine learning to create the symphony. Ahmed Elgammal led the AI side of the team. The team’s first task was to teach the AI to think like Beethoven. To do that, they gave it Beethoven’s complete works, his drafts and notes. They taught it Beethoven’s process—like how he went from four notes to his entire Fifth Symphony. Then they taught it to compose a bridge between two sections. With all that knowledge, the AI came as close to thinking like Beethoven as possible. But it still wasn’t enough. The AI doesn’t really produce something that can continue for a long time and be consistent. So the team had to put the selected pieces together to build a symphony.

Matthew Guzdial researches creativity (创造力) and machine learning at the University of Alberta. He didn’t work on the Beethoven project, but he says, “Modern AI, modern machine learning, is all about just copying small local patterns. And it’s up to a human to then take what the AI outputs and find the genius (天资). The genius wasn’t in the AI. The genius was in the human who was doing the selection.”

【1】How did Walter Werzowa contribute to the Beethoven project?

A．He trained the AI to think like a human.

B．He replied to daily e-mails every morning.

C．He selected the best tune created by the AI.

D．He drafted Beethoven’s unfinished symphony.

【2】What was the major challenge the team met?

A．The AI was far from thinking like Beethoven.

B．It was hard to put pieces together to build a symphony.

C．The AI couldn’t create a long and consistent piece of music.

D．There were not enough complete works for machine learning.

【3】Which of the following would Matthew Guzdial most probably agree with?

A．Al is likely to be a barrier to creativity.

B．The potential of AI is being brought out.

C．The value of AI shouldn’t be overlooked.

D．AI can’t totally replace the role of humans.

24、Mathilda,15, is Turkana, a native people that has survived by raising cattle in a semiarid (半干旱) region.  Mathilda's school, like most schools in the area, doesn't have access to clean water and sanitation facilities for its students. So instead of spending their whole school day learning, Mathilda and her classmates start their day by spending two hours to the closest river fetching water ---water that is anyway most likely not safe to drink. They do the same thing again in the afternoon, so they often lose around half of their school day fetching water.

Mathilda has to do the same thing outside of school hours to get the water her family needs at home, leaving her little time for studying. Because of rising temperatures, water has become harder and harder to find here, and people have to spend more and more time trying to find it.

This is just one small example of how climate change is making it harder to realize people’s rights to water, education and security. Unfortunately, most higher-income countries remained silent on the issue.

This is despite studies showing that communities already facing marginalization(边缘化),such as women and children, mostly suffer from climate change. This is especially the case for those in countries with limited resources and fragile ecosystems.

Meanwhile, women consist of the majority of the world 's poor，and so are more dependent for their livelihood on natural resources that are threatened by climate change. And around the world, women and girls are the most likely to be responsible for fetching water for their families.

This exposes them to danger and leaves them with less time to attend school, earn money, or simply to rest. But the fact is that the effects of climate change will be felt globally.

Despite the difficulties she is facing, trying to get an education, Mathilda says she hopes to serve her community in a leadership role when she grows up.

“All of the world's leaders need to work together to solve this problem that we are all facing,” she said.

【1】Mathilda has to spend _______fetching water every school day.

A. two hours B. four hours

C. more than four hours D. almost a whole day

【2】The first two paragraphs are intended to tell us____________.

A. the cause and effect of lack of water

B. one serious consequence of climate change

C. the difficulties in fetching water in the semiarid region

D. the hardship of life for the people in the semiarid region

【3】We can conclude from the passage that________________.

A. climate change is everyone's business

B. water is becoming rare because of rising temperatures

C. fetching water takes up Mathilda's half of studying time

D. females are more responsible for fetching water for their families

【4】The passage is mainly about the problem caused by_______________.

A. rising temperatures B. fetching water

C. climate change     D. water shortage

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

“Go Denny, go!” my teammates yelled.

The cheering from the my classmates grew louder as I reached the final turn. I found myself in the lead. I knew better than to look back at the runners behind me. That would slow me down. Besides, I could hear them breathing. I launched into my sprint(冲刺).

I pumped my arms harder as I pounded down the straightaway. It made my legs go faster. I don’t know what strange connection in the body makes that work, but it does. I threw my chest forward into the string. It dropped across my body. I thudded to a stop.

I was breathing hard, but at least I was still on my feet.

“You made it in sixty-eight seconds,” Coach Setlich told me. “That’s good enough for third place overall. Nice job, Denise.”

I smiled and nodded, since I didn’t have enough breath to answer. I was exhausted but I had to walk slowly around so my muscles wouldn’t tighten up.

A few minutes later, Coach Setlich found me resting on the high-jump mats. She looked worried. “Denise, I need you to run the relay. Tracy pulled a muscle in the long jump.”

I pushed up onto my elbows. “I’m not a sprinter.”

“Not the sprint relay. The medley (混合接力). I want you to run the last leg (赛程) . Amanda and Cindy, each one hundred meters. Megan ,two hundred meters, one lap (圈).”

I looked at her with horror. “You want me to run four hundred meters again?” I screamed.

She nodded. “We have a shot at second or third in the team standings if your relay does well.” the coach’s eyes glowed. Second place may not sound exciting, but we had been near the bottom of the standings all season. Now in the league championships, we were definitely showing improvement. I struggled to my feet. “Couldn’t I run the two-hundred-meter leg instead?”

Coach shook her head. “The other girls on your relay team are sprinters and they don’t understand the pacing for the longer distance.” she said.
