Scientists lking t uncver the mysteries f the underwater wrld have mre valuable infrmatin thanks t an internatinal team that has prduced a list f species cnfirmed r expected t prduce sunds underwater.
Led by Audrey Lby frm the University f Flrida, the Glbal Library f Underwater Bilgical Sunds wrking grup cllabrated with the Wrld Register f Marine Species t dcument 729 mammals (哺乳动物), fishes, and invertebrates (无脊椎动物) that prduce active r passive sunds. In additin, the list includes anther 21,911 species that are cnsidered t likely prduce sunds.
“With mre than 70% f the Earth’s surface cvered by water mst f the planet’s habitats are aquatic, and there is a miscnceptin that mst aquatic rganisms are silent. The newly published cmprehensive digital database n what animals are knwn t make sunds is the first f its kind and can revlutinize marine and aquatic science,” the researchers said.
“Listening t underwater sunds can reveal a lt f infrmatin abut the species that prduce them and is useful fr a variety f applicatins, ranging frm fisheries management, invasive species detectin t assessing human envirnmental impacts,” said Lby, wh als c-created FishSunds, which ffers a cllectin f fish sund prductin research recrds.
The team’s research was published in Scientific Data and invlved 19 authrs frm six cuntries. “Understanding hw marine species interact with their envirnments is f glbal imprtance, and this data being freely available is a majr step tward that gal,” said Kieran Cx, a member f the research team.
“Mst peple are familiar with whale r dlphin sunds but are ften surprised t learn that many fishes and invertebrates use sunds t cmmunicate, t,” Lby said. “Our database helps demnstrate hw widespread underwater sund prductin really is acrss a variety f animals, but we still have a lt t learn.”

Every day, peple share mre than 2 billin phts n the Internet. While visual cntent prvides a fun and expressive way fr peple t cmmunicate nline, cnsuming and creating it pses challenges fr peple wh are blind r severely visually impaired (受损的). With mre than 39 millin peple wh are blind, and ver 246 millin wh have a severe visual impairment, many peple may feel excluded frm the cnversatin arund phts n the Internet. The researchers frm Harvard University want t build technlgy that helps the blind cmmunity appreciate phts in the same way thers enjy them.
Autmatic alternative text is a new develpment that generates a descriptin f a pht using advancements in bject recgnitin technlgy. Peple using screen readers n digital devices will hear a list f items a pht may cntain as they click phts n the Internet. Befre tday, peple using screen readers wuld nly hear the name f the persn wh shared the pht, fllwed by the term “pht” when they came upn an image. Nw they can ffer a richer descriptin f what’s in a pht thanks t autmatic alternative text. Fr instance, smene culd nw hear “an image cntaining three peple, smiling, utdrs”.
This is pssible because f Harvard University’s bject recgnitin technlgy, which is based n a netwrk that has billins f parameters and is trained with millins f examples. Each advancement in bject recgnitin technlgy means that the researchers will be able t make technlgy even mre accessible t mre peple. When peple are cnnected, they can achieve extrardinary things as individuals and as a cmmunity, and when everyne is cnnected, we all benefit frm it.
They are launching autmatic alternative text first n cellphne screen readers set t English, but they plan t add this functinality fr ther languages and platfrms sn. While this technlgy is still nascent, using its current capabilities t describe phts is an imprtant step tward prviding ur visually impaired cmmunity with the same benefits and enjyment that everyne else gets frm phts.
12. Why is the technlgy launched?
A. There are s many phts n the Internet.
B. There are many peple suffering frm blindness.
C. Sme digital devices are in need f the technlgy.
D. Peple with visin prblems fail t enjy phts nline.
13. What is the advantage f the technlgy ver the previus ne?
A. It can ffer mre phts t blind peple.
B. It can describe mre abut nline phts.
C. It can recgnize the persn wh shares phts.
D. It can satisfy the cmmn needs f blind peple.
14. What is the key t prmting the technlgy?
A. The phts n the Internet.B. Peple’s care fr blind peple.
C. Peple’s cnnectins t each ther.D. The bject recgnitin technlgy.
15. Which can best explain the underlined wrd “nascent” in the last paragraph?
A. Emerging.B. Reliable.C. Pwerful.D. Cnventinal.

Every day, peple share mre than 2 billin phts n the Internet. While visual cntent prvides a fun and expressive way fr peple t cmmunicate nline, cnsuming and creating it pses challenges fr peple wh are blind r severely visually impaired (受损的). With mre than 39 millin peple wh are blind, and ver 246 millin wh have a severe visual impairment, many peple may feel excluded frm the cnversatin arund phts n the Internet. The researchers frm Harvard University want t build technlgy that helps the blind cmmunity appreciate phts in the same way thers enjy them.
Autmatic alternative text is a new develpment that generates a descriptin f a pht using advancements in bject recgnitin technlgy. Peple using screen readers n digital devices will hear a list f items a pht may cntain as they click phts n the Internet. Befre tday, peple using screen readers wuld nly hear the name f the persn wh shared the pht, fllwed by the term “pht” when they came upn an image. Nw they can ffer a richer descriptin f what’s in a pht thanks t autmatic alternative text. Fr instance, smene culd nw hear “an image cntaining three peple, smiling, utdrs”.
This is pssible because f Harvard University’s bject recgnitin technlgy, which is based n a netwrk that has billins f parameters and is trained with millins f examples. Each advancement in bject recgnitin technlgy means that the researchers will be able t make technlgy even mre accessible t mre peple. When peple are cnnected, they can achieve extrardinary things as individuals and as a cmmunity, and when everyne is cnnected, we all benefit frm it.
They are launching autmatic alternative text first n cellphne screen readers set t English, but they plan t add this functinality fr ther languages and platfrms sn. While this technlgy is still nascent, using its current capabilities t describe phts is an imprtant step tward prviding ur visually impaired cmmunity with the same benefits and enjyment that everyne else gets frm phts.
12. Why is the technlgy launched?
A. There are s many phts n the Internet.
B. There are many peple suffering frm blindness.
C. Sme digital devices are in need f the technlgy.
D. Peple with visin prblems fail t enjy phts nline.
13. What is the advantage f the technlgy ver the previus ne?
A. It can ffer mre phts t blind peple.
B. It can describe mre abut nline phts.
C. It can recgnize the persn wh shares phts.
D. It can satisfy the cmmn needs f blind peple.
14. What is the key t prmting the technlgy?
A. The phts n the Internet.B. Peple’s care fr blind peple.
C. Peple’s cnnectins t each ther.D. The bject recgnitin technlgy.
15. Which can best explain the underlined wrd “nascent” in the last paragraph?
A. Emerging.B. Reliable.C. Pwerful.D. Cnventinal.
