17、ted book. Undoubtedly, e-books do have benefits. Firstly, changes to an electronic publication are relatively easy to make. They are quicker to obtain. E-books are more easily updated. The printed bookson many subjects can become outdated very quickly. Secondly, e-books can be easily and quicklykept

18、 up to date. You usually get far more than just the e-books. Most e-books are sold with bonusesand related information that usually do not come with the purchase of a printed book. Moreover, theytake up less space. Instead of a big library, you can fit literally thousands of books on your computer.

19、It also makes it easier to share this information with families and friends. For nearly twenty years, additionally, futurists have been predicting the development of printedbooks.

20、n the case. A printed book has its advantages too. Firstly, it is an objectthat can be carried and used alone. It needs no electric outlet (插座),no batteries,nothing.

25、the printed books. 31. What does the author think of the future of the printed book?A. Hopeless. B. Unpredictable. C. Costly. D. Promising. DUsing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), scientists have revealed new insights into the creation and destruction of mass extinction. Contrary to conven

26、tional knowledge, their study suggests thatlarger extinctions are not always a form of “creative destruction” that allows new organisms (生物体) to radiate and evolve. Instead, it suggests that mass extinction is rarely associated with new species ofradiation. Dr. Hoyal Cuthill, the lead study author f

27、rom the University of Essex in the UK and the TokyoInstitute of Technology, said in a statement, “Some of the most challenging things to understand thehistory of life are the vast timelines involved and the number of species. New machine learning applications can help us understand this information

28、in human-readable form. This means that we can, soto speak, hold the evolution of half a billion years in the palm of our hand and gain new insights fromwhat we see.”They concluded that mass extinction and later radiation were not connected as previouslythought. Within 5 percent of the most signific

29、ant periods of disruption (中断), AI detected “bigfive”mass extinctions, seven more mass extinctions, two mass extinction-radiation events, and 15mass radiations. Most importantly, it discovers that massive radiation and extinction rarely occurredwith each other, changing the view that greater extinct

30、ion leads to a kind of deep cycle-like speciesradiation of nature. It appears that larger extinctions are certainly not the engine of evolutionary radiation. Take the Cambrian eruption for example and it was about 41 million years ago when a largegroup of animals first appeared on the record of the

31、first fossil record and the dawn of a high mobileanimal equipped with modern physical features. This new study found that a handful of other notable explosions of biodiversity, including theCambrian eruption, usually occurred at a time when they were largely isolated (隔离) from extinction. Dr. Nichol

32、as Guttenberg, a study co-author from the Tokyo Institute of Technology explained, “Ecosystems are dynamic and you dont need anything to exist to allow something new to appear.”32.

Understanding the history of life is very difficult. C. New AI machines learn applications better. D. The resu

34、lt of researchers new study. 34. What is the researchers discovery?A. Mass extinction is unlikely to cause evolutionary radiation. B. The first animal with modern features occurred during eruption. C. The volcanic eruption led to a mass extinction and radiation. D. The idea of deep cycle-like specie

35、s radiation has turned out true. 35. What is the text mainly about?A. New processes ofbiological evolution. B. New view of radiation from natural species. C. New understanding of mass extinction.
