18、cal buildings,palaces,shrines(神殿).are striking evidences for past lives and buildings.For example,before cameras were invented,there was no way to show how a life of a king was during his age.However,with his castle and exhibits,researchers can build up assumptions.The second considerable benefit of

24、ction-a Wise ChoiceDViews on Using Public Money for Architectural HeritageCBefore the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Ac
25、cordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The trend, t
26、hen, was toward the “penny paper”a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(bu
27、t not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printers office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price
28、 of single copies was seldom a pennyusually two or three cents was chargedand some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the publics fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for “t
29、he man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.28Which of t
30、he following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?AAcademic.BUnattractive.CInexpensive.DConfidential.29What did street sales mean to newspapers?AThey would be priced higher.BThey would disappear from cities.CThey could have more readers.DThey could regain public trust.30Who were the
31、 newspapers of the new trend targeted at?ALocal politicians.BCommon people.CYoung publishers.DRich businessmen.31What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?AIt was a difficult process.BIt was a temporary success.CIt was a robbery of the poor.DIt was a disaster for printers.D“Is data the new
32、oil?” asked advocates of big data back in 2012 in Forbes magazine. By 2016, with the rise of big datas fast-growing cousin deep learning, we had become more certain: “Data is the new oil,” stated Fortune magazine.Amazons Neil Lawrence has a slightly different comparison: Data is coal. Not coal today
33、, though, but coal in the early days of the 18th century, when Thomas Newcomen invented the steam engine. Newcomen built his device to pump water out of the southwests rich tin (锡) mines.The problem, as Lawrence said, was that the pump was rather more useful to those who had a lot of coal than those
34、 who didnt: it was good, but not good enough to be able to buy enough coal in to run it. That was so true that the first of Newcomens steam engines wasnt built in a tin mine, but in coal works near Dudley.So why is data coal? The problem is similar: there are a lot of Newcomen in the world of deep l
35、earning. New companies are coming up with revolutionary new ways to train machines to do impressive tasks, from reconstructing facial data from images to learning the writing style of an individual user to better predict which word they are going to type in a sentence. And yet, like Newcomen, their
36、innovations are so much more useful to the people who actually have large amounts of raw material to work from.But there is an ending to the story: 69 years later, James Watt made a nice change to the Newcomen steam engine, adding a condenser (冷凝器) to the design. That change, Lawrence said, “made th
37、e steam engine much more efficient, and thats what triggered the industrial revolution.”Whether data is oil or coal, then, theres another way the comparison holds up: a lot of work is going into trying to make sure we can do more, with less.“If you look at all the areas where deep learning is succes
38、sful, theyre all areas where theres lots of data,” points out Lawrence. Thats great if you want to classify images of cats, but less helpful if you want to use deep learning to diagnose rare illnesses. “Its generally considered unacceptable to force people to become sick in order to acquire data.”It
39、s not as impressive as teaching a computer to play a game better than any human alive, but “data efficiency” is a vital step if deep learning is to move away from simply taking in large amounts of data and giving out the best correlations (关联) possible.32The first of Newcomens steam engines wasnt bu
40、ilt in a tin mine because_.Aits operation required a lot of coalBit would lose its function in a tin mineCit was in greater demand in coal worksDthe rich mines required more advanced aids33According to the passage, in which situation is deep learning the least successful?AReconstructing facial data.
41、BPredicting a word in a sentence.CClassifying images of cats.DDiagnosing rare diseases.34What can be inferred from the passage?AWatts condenser helped the steam engine consume less coal.BData involving patients is often collected through immoral ways.CTeaching machines to learn is a vital step towar
42、ds data efficiency.DThomas Newcomens steam engine had revolutionary applications.35Neil Lawrence compared data to coal to indicate that_.Aacquiring data is as complex as mining for coalBa change is required to make more out of less dataCdata is the new fuel to start an information revolutionDa large

44、uth-led campaign reflected the urgency for action on the environment. So what now? _36_Here are some ideas about how you can be sustainable as a student.What you put on your plate matters: nearly a quarter of all greenhouse gases come from agriculture, and most of those are from meat and dairy. Meat
45、 and dairy consumption results in excessive (过度的) land use, industrial emissions, methane, water use and deforestation. _37_ A meat-free diet has been recommended as the single-biggest way an individual can reduce their effect on the planet.Forget fast fashion: keeping your clothes for as long as po

In the UK, clothing has the fourth-largest environmental effect after housing, transport and food. _38_ For some freshers, this will be your first time living alone, which means doing your own washing, cooking and cleaning. _39_ Wash your clothes at a l
47、ower temperature, and choose a bamboo toothbrush or more eco-friendly sanitary (卫生的) products. When shopping, see if theres a zero-waste shop nearby, where all products are free from plastic packaging. Just turn up with your own container. If youre planning a weekend away with new friends, try to travel by train or bus._40_ But campaigning is important too. University campuses can be the perfect place for this. If you dont know where and how to start, see if there are any societies at your university like Student Climate Network. Students using fossil fuels in 76 universities have now
