16、D.To sing high praise of the natural beauty.C(2022广东茂名二模)Using the power of artificial intelligence (AI),scientists have revealed new insights into the creation and destruction of mass extinction.Contrary to conventional knowledge,their study suggests that larger extinction is not always a form of “
17、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 of radiation.Dr.Hoyal Cuthill,the lead study author from the University of Essex in the UK and the Tokyo Institute of Technology,said in a stateme
18、nt,“Some of the most challenging things to understand the history of life are the vast timelines involved and the number of species.New machine learning applications can help us understand this information in human-readable form.This means that we can,so to speak,hold the evolution of half a billion
19、 years in the palm of our hand and gain new insights from what we see.”They concluded that mass extinction and later radiation were not connected as previously thought.Within 5 percent of the most significant periods of disruption(中断),AI detected “big five” mass extinction,seven times of more mass e
