In the thick frest, a New Calednian crw carefully remves a branch, pulls ff unwanted leaves and makes a tl frm the wd. The crw is a perfectinist. When it’s satisfied, the bird advances the finished tl int a hle in the tree and fishes ut a wriggling grub(蠕动的幼虫).
The New Calednian crw is ne f the nly birds knwn t make tls, a skill nce thught t be unique t humans. The remarkable riginality that Christian Rutz, a behaviral eclgist at the University f St Andrews in Sctland, bserved changed his understanding f what birds can d. He started wndering if there might be ther ignred animal abilities. Experiments have shwn that different crw grups in the frest have distinct vcalizatins(发声). Rutz wanted t knw whether these vcalizatins culd help explain cultural differences in tl-making amng the grups.
New technlgy pwered by artificial intelligence (AI) is ready t prvide exactly these kinds f insights. Whether animals cmmunicate with ne anther in terms we might be able t understand is a questin f enduring questin, “With recent breakthrughs in AI, peple realize that we are n the edge f fairly majr advances in regard t understanding animals’ cmmunicative behavir,” Rutz says.
Beynd creating chat-bts that attract peple and prducing art that wins fine arts cmpetitins, machine learning may sn make it pssible t crack(破解) things like crw calls, says Aza Raskin, ne f the funders f the nnprfit Earth Species Prject. Cracking animal vcalizatins culd aid cnservatin and welfare effrts. It culd als have a shcking impact n us. Raskin cmpares the cming revlutin t the inventin f the telescpe. “We lked ut at the universe and discvered that Earth was nt the center,” he says. The pwer f AI t reshape ur understanding f animals, he thinks, will have a similar effect. “These tls are ging t change the way that we see urselves in relatin t everything.”
12．What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 1?
A. Shw the New Calednian crw can make tls.
B. Explain why the New Calednian crw is a perfectinist.
C. Tell the New Calednian crw ften makes mistakes.
D. Describe hw the New Calednian crw lives in the frest.
13．What des Rutz tend t agree?
A. It is humans and crws that can make tls.
B. Humans may fail t ntice sme animals’ abilities.
C. The New Calednian crw is the smartest bird.
D. The New Calednian crw has varius sunds.
14．What des Raskin suggest ding in the last paragraph?
A. Chatting with AI.B. Lking ut int space.
C. Using AI t crack animal calls.D. Cnnecting with the utside wrld.
15．What may be the best title fr the text?
A. Earth Is Nt the CenterB. Start Yur Mind and Study Deeply

二、七选五

⑤ Put the mst imprtant r trublesme tasks at the tp f yur list, and then enjy the satisfactin f crssing them ff early. At sme pint, mving n t the smaller activities—even if they’re imprtant—will feel like a reward.

D. If yu’d like t be mre prductive, eating the frg is fr yu
E. But yu shuld try t get frgs ut f the way as sn as pssible
F. The advice als helps t make a t-d list every night fr the next day and rank it
