In 2018, a severe drught brught Cape Twn clse t "Day Zer", when it culd have becme the wrld's first majr city t run ut f water. Dam levels in Suth Africa's Western Cape fell t belw a fifth f capacity and the prvince suffered its wrst water crisis in 100 years.
“The water supply was dwindling and it just wasn't raining, " recalls Thinus Bysen. a prfessr at Stellenbsch University, wh had created a device in 2015 designed t help hmewners cut their pwer usage. Seeking t reduce water waste, Bysen figured he culd adapt the device t measure water usage instead f electricity use.
Sn, Bysen launched a start-up, Bridging the Internet f Things （BridglT）, t develp his idea. Called Cunt Drputa, the device reprts water. usage nce a minute while many cnventinal devices nly recrd data nce an hur. The system uses an app in the user's cellphne and sends shrt messages in real time. “Within minutes, we wuld be able t tell the user, 'Smething has burst, r smething is leaking, '”he says.
Then Bysen discvered that a key issue was maintenance （维修）, with the prest schls using by far the mst water. Leaking tilets culd waste 1, 000 liters f water per day. “We fund that the biggest prblems are things like children nt clsing taps prperly, but ften that wuld be because the taps just dn't clse, ” Bysen explains. During the test, the inventin saved ne schl mre than three millin liters f water in three mnths. Anther reduced its water usage 55 percent in fur mnths.
Businesses including Cape Talk radi statin and Africa's largest fd cmpany, Shprite, became spnsrs, partnering with the Western Cape Educatin Department t install （安装）thne devices in 350 schls. They saved mre than S2. 7 millin and almst 550 millin liters f water in 17 mnths. Bysen has lked at expanding t gvernment buildings, hspitals and htels. There are plans t rll ut the device acrss Africa.

Recently, Ggle researchers published a paper describing results frm an artificial intelligence （AI） tl, called MusicLM, built t create music. It is nt the first Al music tl t launch. But the examples Ggle prvides demnstrate musical creative ability based n a limited set f descriptive wrds. AI shws hw cmplex cmputer systems have been trained t behave in human-like ways. Ggle engineers explain the MusicLM system this way:
First, a user cmes up with a wrd r wrds that describe the kind f music they want the tl t create. Fr example, a user culd enter this shrt phrase int the system: "a cntinuus calming vilin backed by a sft guitar sund. "The descriptins entered can include different music styles, instruments r ther existing sunds. Several different music examples prduced by MusicLM were published nline. Sme f the generated music came frm just ne-r-tw-wrd descriptins, such as "jazz", r "techn". The system created ther examples frm mre detailed descriptins cntaining whle sentences. In the resulting recrding, the music seems t keep very clse t the descriptin. The team said that the mre detailed the descriptin is, the better the system can attempt t prduce it.
In additin t generating new music frm written descriptins, the team said the system can als create examples based n a persn's wn singing, whistling r playing an instrument. The researchers said the tl "prduces high-quality music. . . ver several minutes, while being faithful t the text cnditining signal".
Althugh it hasn't been released fr public use, Ggle annunced it was releasing a "high-quality dataset （数据集）”f mre than 5. 500 music-writing pairs prepared by prfessinal musicians called MusicCaps. The researchers tk that step t assist in the develpment f ther AI music generatrs.
The MusicLM researchers said they believe they have designed a new tl t help anyne quickly and easily create high-quality music selectins. Hwever, the team said it als recgnizes sme risks linked t the machine learning prcess
28. Hw des MusicLM wrk?
A. It adapts music frm recrdings.
B. It generates music frm written descriptins.
C. It teaches users hw t play a musical instrument.
D. It recmmends sngs based n a user's listening histry.
29. Why did Ggle release the MusicCaps dataset?
A. T display the capabilities f MusicLM.
B. T allw the public t use MusicLM.
C. T help develp ther AI music generatrs.
D. T prmte the MusicCaps music-writing service.
30. What might be an advantage f using MusicLM fr music creatin?
A. It can imprve the verall quality f music in the industry.
B. It can replace human musicians and cmpsers.
C. It can prduce music that is mre cmplex than human-made music.
D. It can create music quickly and efficiently.
31. What is the main idea f the article?
A. Ggle has develped MusicLMA t create music frm written descriptins and ther inputs.
B. MusicLM-an example f AI systems can behave in human-like ways.
C. MusicLM can create music fllwing written descriptins and using thers as input.
D. Ggle has released a dataset t help develp ther Al music generatrs.

Take a lk at that tree in the lcal park. What might it be feeling? Culd it be thinking? Experiments are explring the idea f plant cgnitin （认知）, even ging s far as t suggest they pssess sme frm f cnsciusness.
As wild as it sunds, it isn＇t a new idea. The field f ＂plant neurbilgy （神经生物学）＂began in 2006, aimed at understanding hw plants prcess infrmatin frm their envirnment.
It is nw clear that plants are capable f cmplex cmmunicatin and can sense their surrundings, which were riginally dismissed. But advcates f plant cnsciusness take things further and draw parallels between the electrical signaling that can be fund frm rt t stem and that present in the nervus system f animals. They claim t shw that plants are capable f intentinally chsing t perfrm certain behavirs, f learning and perhaps even having persnalities. If plants are experiencing a cnscius inner wrld, they argue, it becmes vital that we find ways t test and understand it.
Extending the cncept f cgnitin t plants wuld mean a significant shift in ur view f the uniqueness f humanity, nt t mentin hw we treat ur btanical friends. s the bar f acceptance is high. Researchers rising t the challenge are hping t explre plants with tls usually reserved fr the human brain.
The research can appear persuasive, but it is in its early stage and suffers frm repeated failure. Critics say the field is a high guess and that the behaviur can be explained thrugh inbrn respnse.
Whether we decide that plants have cgnitin may cme dwn t ur ability t describe cnsciusness itself-smething we are far frm ding. But rather than dismiss the idea, we shuld welcme the chance t think up new ways t test ur understanding f cnsciusness. It might just imprve ur grasp f the human mind. At the very least, ur trees and plants shuld benefit frm the extra attentin-cnsciusly r nt.
32. What d supprters f plant cnsciusness believe?
A. Plants can nly perfrm native reactin.
B. Plants can perceive their surrundings and adapt t them.
C. Plants pssess the same level f cnsciusness as humans.
D. Plants can cmmunicate cmplicatedly and chse actins deliberately.
33. What is the main challenge in accepting the idea f plant cnsciusness?
A. The need t develp tls t test plant cgnitin.
B. The dramatic change in ur view f humanity.
C. The lack f evidence in the field f plant neurbilgy.
D. The inability t describe cnsciusness itself.
34. What is the current state f research in the field f plant cgnitin?
A. The field is highly based n guesses and has n evidence.
B. Researchers are using tls reserved fr the human brain t study plant behavirs.
C. There is nt enugh evidence t supprt the idea f plant cnsciusness.
D. Plants have been prven t pssess a frm f cnsciusness.
35. What is the ptential benefit f studying plant cnsciusness?
A. Enhancing ur understanding f the human brain.
B. Develping new ways t test plant behavirs.
C. Prmting ur relatinship with plants.
D. Prving the existence f plant cgnitin.

In 2018, a severe drught brught Cape Twn clse t "Day Zer", when it culd have becme the wrld's first majr city t run ut f water. Dam levels in Suth Africa's Western Cape fell t belw a fifth f capacity and the prvince suffered its wrst water crisis in 100 years.
“The water supply was dwindling and it just wasn't raining, " recalls Thinus Bysen. a prfessr at Stellenbsch University, wh had created a device in 2015 designed t help hmewners cut their pwer usage. Seeking t reduce water waste, Bysen figured he culd adapt the device t measure water usage instead f electricity use.
Sn, Bysen launched a start-up, Bridging the Internet f Things （BridglT）, t develp his idea. Called Cunt Drputa, the device reprts water. usage nce a minute while many cnventinal devices nly recrd data nce an hur. The system uses an app in the user's cellphne and sends shrt messages in real time. “Within minutes, we wuld be able t tell the user, 'Smething has burst, r smething is leaking, '”he says.
Then Bysen discvered that a key issue was maintenance （维修）, with the prest schls using by far the mst water. Leaking tilets culd waste 1, 000 liters f water per day. “We fund that the biggest prblems are things like children nt clsing taps prperly, but ften that wuld be because the taps just dn't clse, ” Bysen explains. During the test, the inventin saved ne schl mre than three millin liters f water in three mnths. Anther reduced its water usage 55 percent in fur mnths.
Businesses including Cape Talk radi statin and Africa's largest fd cmpany, Shprite, became spnsrs, partnering with the Western Cape Educatin Department t install （安装）thne devices in 350 schls. They saved mre than S2. 7 millin and almst 550 millin liters f water in 17 mnths. Bysen has lked at expanding t gvernment buildings, hspitals and htels. There are plans t rll ut the device acrss Africa.

Recently, Ggle researchers published a paper describing results frm an artificial intelligence （AI） tl, called MusicLM, built t create music. It is nt the first Al music tl t launch. But the examples Ggle prvides demnstrate musical creative ability based n a limited set f descriptive wrds. AI shws hw cmplex cmputer systems have been trained t behave in human-like ways. Ggle engineers explain the MusicLM system this way:
First, a user cmes up with a wrd r wrds that describe the kind f music they want the tl t create. Fr example, a user culd enter this shrt phrase int the system: "a cntinuus calming vilin backed by a sft guitar sund. "The descriptins entered can include different music styles, instruments r ther existing sunds. Several different music examples prduced by MusicLM were published nline. Sme f the generated music came frm just ne-r-tw-wrd descriptins, such as "jazz", r "techn". The system created ther examples frm mre detailed descriptins cntaining whle sentences. In the resulting recrding, the music seems t keep very clse t the descriptin. The team said that the mre detailed the descriptin is, the better the system can attempt t prduce it.
In additin t generating new music frm written descriptins, the team said the system can als create examples based n a persn's wn singing, whistling r playing an instrument. The researchers said the tl "prduces high-quality music. . . ver several minutes, while being faithful t the text cnditining signal".
Althugh it hasn't been released fr public use, Ggle annunced it was releasing a "high-quality dataset （数据集）”f mre than 5. 500 music-writing pairs prepared by prfessinal musicians called MusicCaps. The researchers tk that step t assist in the develpment f ther AI music generatrs.
The MusicLM researchers said they believe they have designed a new tl t help anyne quickly and easily create high-quality music selectins. Hwever, the team said it als recgnizes sme risks linked t the machine learning prcess
28. Hw des MusicLM wrk?
A. It adapts music frm recrdings.
B. It generates music frm written descriptins.
C. It teaches users hw t play a musical instrument.
D. It recmmends sngs based n a user's listening histry.
29. Why did Ggle release the MusicCaps dataset?
A. T display the capabilities f MusicLM.
B. T allw the public t use MusicLM.
C. T help develp ther AI music generatrs.
D. T prmte the MusicCaps music-writing service.
30. What might be an advantage f using MusicLM fr music creatin?
A. It can imprve the verall quality f music in the industry.
B. It can replace human musicians and cmpsers.
C. It can prduce music that is mre cmplex than human-made music.
D. It can create music quickly and efficiently.
31. What is the main idea f the article?
A. Ggle has develped MusicLMA t create music frm written descriptins and ther inputs.
B. MusicLM-an example f AI systems can behave in human-like ways.
C. MusicLM can create music fllwing written descriptins and using thers as input.
D. Ggle has released a dataset t help develp ther Al music generatrs.

Take a lk at that tree in the lcal park. What might it be feeling? Culd it be thinking? Experiments are explring the idea f plant cgnitin （认知）, even ging s far as t suggest they pssess sme frm f cnsciusness.
As wild as it sunds, it isn＇t a new idea. The field f ＂plant neurbilgy （神经生物学）＂began in 2006, aimed at understanding hw plants prcess infrmatin frm their envirnment.
It is nw clear that plants are capable f cmplex cmmunicatin and can sense their surrundings, which were riginally dismissed. But advcates f plant cnsciusness take things further and draw parallels between the electrical signaling that can be fund frm rt t stem and that present in the nervus system f animals. They claim t shw that plants are capable f intentinally chsing t perfrm certain behavirs, f learning and perhaps even having persnalities. If plants are experiencing a cnscius inner wrld, they argue, it becmes vital that we find ways t test and understand it.
Extending the cncept f cgnitin t plants wuld mean a significant shift in ur view f the uniqueness f humanity, nt t mentin hw we treat ur btanical friends. s the bar f acceptance is high. Researchers rising t the challenge are hping t explre plants with tls usually reserved fr the human brain.
The research can appear persuasive, but it is in its early stage and suffers frm repeated failure. Critics say the field is a high guess and that the behaviur can be explained thrugh inbrn respnse.
Whether we decide that plants have cgnitin may cme dwn t ur ability t describe cnsciusness itself-smething we are far frm ding. But rather than dismiss the idea, we shuld welcme the chance t think up new ways t test ur understanding f cnsciusness. It might just imprve ur grasp f the human mind. At the very least, ur trees and plants shuld benefit frm the extra attentin-cnsciusly r nt.
32. What d supprters f plant cnsciusness believe?
A. Plants can nly perfrm native reactin.
B. Plants can perceive their surrundings and adapt t them.
C. Plants pssess the same level f cnsciusness as humans.
D. Plants can cmmunicate cmplicatedly and chse actins deliberately.
33. What is the main challenge in accepting the idea f plant cnsciusness?
A. The need t develp tls t test plant cgnitin.
B. The dramatic change in ur view f humanity.
C. The lack f evidence in the field f plant neurbilgy.
D. The inability t describe cnsciusness itself.
34. What is the current state f research in the field f plant cgnitin?
A. The field is highly based n guesses and has n evidence.
B. Researchers are using tls reserved fr the human brain t study plant behavirs.
C. There is nt enugh evidence t supprt the idea f plant cnsciusness.
D. Plants have been prven t pssess a frm f cnsciusness.
35. What is the ptential benefit f studying plant cnsciusness?
A. Enhancing ur understanding f the human brain.
B. Develping new ways t test plant behavirs.
C. Prmting ur relatinship with plants.
D. Prving the existence f plant cgnitin.
