When you’re packing for an adventure, what’s the most important thing you’ll need? 1. Or better yet, a GPS. What about other animals, how do they know where they’re going?
While humans depend on technology to travel, some animals have something far more advanced. Researchers, mainly from Oregon State University, US, found that Chinook salmon (鲑鱼) have a “built-in GPS” of the Earth’s magnetic field. 2.It acts like a big map inside their brain.
Scientists placed some baby salmon into a big swimming pool. To simulate (模拟) the Earth’s magnetic field, they put magnetic coils (线圈) all around the pool. Then, by changing the direction of the coils, the salmon began to change their own direction. They started to face in the direction of their ocean feeding area. 3.When the scientists changed the coils to the opposite side, the salmon also turned in the opposite direction. Just by using their “built-in GPS”, the salmon were able to figure out the direction of their feeding area.
4.The scientists believe that their navigation skills came through evolution. The fish that were able to reach the feeding area lived longer. 5.So if you’re ever lost and in need of some help, maybe you should ask a salmon to point you in the right direction!
A. How did Chinook salmon get their “built-in GPS”?
B. If you don’t want to get lost, you’ll need a map!
C. This is a safe place in the ocean where salmon can find food to eat.
D. Then they could pass on their navigation skills to their babies.
E. However, the magnetic field is likely not the only tool salmon use to navigate.
F. It turns out young salmon don’t just learn quickly, they don’t need to learn at all.
G. This means as soon as they are born they are able to direct themselves in the ocean.
Google, hoping to put down a protest by employees upset that the technology they were working on could be used for deadly purposes, will not renew a contract with the Pentagon(五角大楼) for artificial intelligence work when a current deal expires next year.
Diane Greene, who is the head of the Google Cloud business that won a contract with the Pentagon’s Project Maven, said during a weekly meeting with employees Friday that the company was backing away from its AI work with the military, according to a person familiar with the discussion but not permitted to speak publicly about it.
Google’s work with the Defense Department on the Maven program, which uses artificial intelligence to interpret video images and could be used to improve the targeting of drone strikes, riled the internet giant’s workforce.
About 4,000 Google employees signed a petition（请愿书） demanding “a clear policy stating that neither Google nor its contractors will ever build warfare technology,” and a handful of employees resigned in protest.
The money for Google in the Project Maven contract was never large by the standards of a company with profit of $110 billion last year — $9 million, one official told employees, or a possible $15 million over 18 months, according to an internal email.
But some company officials saw it as an opening to much greater revenue down the road. In an email last September, a Google official in Washington told colleagues she expected Maven to grow into a $250 million-a-year project, and eventually it could have helped open the door to contracts worth far more.
1.What does the underlined word “renew” most probably mean?
A. fix B. sign C. recover D. extend the period of time
2.Why did Google employees go on rebellions protest?
A. Because they were not paid enough.
B. Because they thought Google should go on cooperate with Pentagon.
C. Because they thought the company cheated them about the Maven Project.
D. Because they thought Google should end the cooperation on a warfare technology with Pentagon.
3.The last two paragraphs are aimed to _______________________.
A. show what else Google could do to make money
B. show what consisted of the revenue of Google last year
C. show what big loss of revenue Google’s decision of giving up the cooperation with Pentagon will cause
D. show the money that the Project Maven contract Google brought last year was not large by the standards of a company with revenue of $110 billion last year
4.What can we infer from the article?
A. Google chose humanity over profit.
B. The employees’ rebellions didn’t work at all.
C. Pentagon will definitely give Google a big lesson.
D. Google is a company that is not qualified enough in the field of AI technology.
