21、 Sonoma County is adding artificial intelligence to its wildfire fighting. The county has entered into an agreement with the South Korean firm Alchera to equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software that detects wildfire activity and then issues a warning to authorities.
The technology examines past and current images of terrain (地形;地势) and searches for certain changes, such as flames burning in darkness, said Chris Godley, the county’s director of emergency management. But emergency workers will first have to“teach”the system to distinguish between images that show fire smoke, and others that might show clouds, fog etc. The software will use feedback from humans to improve its algorithm(算法) and will eventually be able to detect fires on its own — or at least that’s what county officials hope.
“It’s kind of like learning how to read,” Godley said. “What letters can I put together to make up a word?” The county activated the technology Wednesday and received 16 positive reports of smoke — all of which turned out to be permitted burns, he said. Once a seasonal ban on controlled burns goes into effect in April or May, the county plans to speed up the testing and feedback phase. The hope is that by November, the system will no longer need to be taught and can start providing reliable intelligence. Godley said. “It’s going to take us a while to make sure we get the bugs out and that we really can depend on it because ultimately this is a lifesaving mission.”
The technology is intended to help officials investigate potential fire starts earlier so they can get personnel out to them more quickly and issue necessary warnings. Officials expect other places will adopt it if the technology is successful, particularly because it plugs into the camera network that’s already in place statewide.
“We ultimately believe its potential could be realized in a year or two,” Godley said. “And it could really have a dramatic impact here in California.”
【1】What does the system first have to do before being put into work?
A．Equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software.
B．Learn to tell between images of fire smoke and other pictures.
C．Use feedbacks to improve its ability to detect fire independently.
D．Examine images of the terrain and search for any possible changes.
【2】What do local officials expect the technology to accomplish?
A．Be able to make positive reports of smoke.
B．Be able to control seasonal burns in the area.
C．Help them spot potential fire starts as soon as possible.
D．Learn how to distinguish pictures of flames from clouds.
【3】What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?
A．kill all the bugs.
B．get rid of mistakes
C．provide reliable information
D．speed up testing process
【4】What does the author mainly intend to tell us?
A．AI is creating a dramatic impact in California.
B．AI is applied to monitor terrains in California.
C．A new tool to help detect wildfire in California.
D．A new way to put an end to wildfire in California.
22、 Every person plans to run off to some tropical isle, but few do. Real life, family, work, and monetary limitations get in the way. Ian Fleming let none of these considerations stop him.
After the war, Fleming set down his schedule. The first week of January saw him leave England and travel to Jamaica. The first week of March saw his return. He accepted his job at Kemsley newspapers without compromise — this portion of the year would be set aside for Jamaica or he would look elsewhere for employment.
For 6 years Fleming traveled each winter to Jamaica, lounging in paradise, romancing women, chasing the sunset, but it was not until he faced the pressure of a married woman who was pregnant with his child did Fleming start the writer’s journey which would change his life and popular culture forever. As Fleming waited in Jamaica for Anne’s divorce to become final, he wrote the first draft of a novel, Casino Royale.
Fleming’s career as a writer deserves more examination than can be offered here, but suffice it to say, over the next 12 years, Ian Fleming transformed his elite existence, his arrogance, his style, and his acid wit into some of the greatest thrillers ever written. Fleming incurred the respect of authors as diverse as Raymond Chandler, Kingsley Amis, and Edith Sitwell. His fans included John, Jackie, and Bobby Kennedy, and his social circle included Prime Minister Anthony Eden, Evelyn Waugh, and Somerset Maugham.
Fleming filled out the 12 years of Bond with great adventure journalism. Even in stories which had little action or pay off, such as his short non-fiction book, The Diamond Smugglers, the “Fleming-flair” ensured exciting reading. He wrote the “Atticus” column for the Sunday Times, proving a wonderful conduit for inside intelligence information, and clever rebukes(指责).
Regardless of book sales or family obligations, Fleming managed to live the life he wanted. As the years passed, his passion for golfing increased so he took more time with it. Fleming’s long-term fascination with America grew, so he traveled there more often.
Ian Fleming’s full life caught up with him through his heart. It may be that years of drinking and smoking took their toll, or that the butter-rich cooking Fleming loved was the culprit. Or maybe it was just genetics. Whatever the cause, Fleming’s health declined in the late 1950s. This plus anxieties in the marriage increased Fleming’s depression. With the success of Bond, the world came knocking at Fleming’s door, and he had a harder time shutting those out that he did not want in his life.
Nonetheless, Fleming fought the loosing battle of his weakening heart by throwing more fuel on the fire. He continued to drink and smoke, making some excuses but not many. He wrote books he wanted to read, and traveled the world with style and authority. By this time, Fleming had already earned his own fortune, created his own identity, and ruled his own literary empire.

23、 If you like traveling, these less known places in New York City (NYC) are sure to create good memories that last a lifetime.
The High Line Park
The High Line Park has been only recently developed, so it is one of NYC’s most beautiful places and one of the most unique (独特的) places you could ever hope to find.

The Dream House
If you don’t like art museums or concert halls, you can choose the Dream House on Tribeca’s Church Street. It was created in 1993 by a married couple La Monte Young, a musician, and his wife Marian Zazeela. In the Dream House, every move that visitors make in the Dream House creates a different series of sounds. Meanwhile, fantastic pink lighting guides them through their journey.

24、 When talking about the economics of online publishing, the first thing to remember is that job No. 1 isn’t to get the news to you. Rather, it is to monetize you, by selling you off, in real time, to the highest bidder. This happens every time you click on a link, before the page has even started to load on your phone. Once upon a time, if you and I both visited the same web page at the same time using the same web browser, we would end up seeing the same thing. Today, however, an almost unthinkably enormous ecosystem of scripts and cookies and often astonishingly personal information is used to show you a set of brand messages and sales links which are tailored almost uniquely to you.
That ecosystem raises important questions about privacy—the way that the minute you look at a pair of shoes online, for instance, they then start following you around every other website you visit for weeks. But whether or not you value your privacy, you are damaged, daily, by the sheer weight of all that technology.
Online ads have never got less annoying over time, and you can be sure that mobile ads are going to get more annoying as well, once Silicon Valley has worked out how to better identify who you are. The move to greater privacy protections might help slow the pace with which such technologies are adopted. But there’s no realistic hope that websites will actually improve from here. If you want to avoid the dreadful experience of the mobile web, you’ll only have one choice—which is to start reading your articles natively, in the Facebook or Apple News app. But it won’t be Facebook and Apple who killed the news brands. It’ll be ad tech.
【1】What will happen if two people click on the same link today?
A.They will immediately get the news that they want.
B.They will see the same thing whenever they browse.
C.They will see different brand messages and sales links.
D.They will be recommended to the same bidder.
【2】Why can the online ads send you the links unique to you?
A.Because the ecosystem knows who you are.
B.Because they know how to identify who you are.
C.Because you don’t care about your privacy.
D.Because you always use the same web browser.
【3】How could we protect our privacy against mobile ads?
A.By slowing the pace with such technologies.
B.By improving the website functions.
C.By stopping using the mobile phones.
D.By reading articles in specific apps.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude to the ad tech?
A.Negative. B.Positive. C.Unconcerned. D.Optimistic.
