13、 Gogh and Picasso.Underneath Pablo Picassos famous Blue Period piece The Old Guitarist (1903 - 1904) , there is the faint figure of a woman. She was first detected in 1998, when conservators at the Art Institute of Chicago used X-rays and infrared light to peek behind the top layer of paint. She sit
14、s with her left arm reaching towards the viewer and her right arm tucked onto her lap - and curiously, she matches a sketch Picasso sent to a colleague around the same time.Until now, all that could be detected of the woman was the faintest trace of her outline. Any extra detail - like color and sty
15、le - was lost. However, by using a neural network trained to distinguish the style of one artist from another or ( in the case of artists like Picasso) of one period from another, researchers at University College London have given her a new life, even if it is not necessarily true to the Picasso or
16、iginal.The basis for the neural network was a technique developed in 2015 by Leon Gatys at the University of Tubingen, Germany, called neural style transfer. The machine vision technique can identify the style of a painting and transform the style of a painting to match another. It can transform a M
17、ichelangelo into the style of Paul Cezanne, for example.

Insights from a study stated that more than a third of consumers will start buying Halloween products in September or earli
21、er.According to the survey, the majority of shoppers planned to purchase Halloween items from discount ,specialty, and department stores. Others take inspiration from an online search starting as early as August in some cases. This is good news for stores who get to reap the profits, though.Roberta
22、Gleicher, a district manager, said as a customer, she finds it annoying that stores put out decorations in August but as a business consultant (顾问), she recommends they do so. “Stores try to keep customers in there as long as possible because the more time they spend, the more they will shop and buy
23、. Once they, re shopping, they see holiday decorations and get in the holiday spirit,“ Gleicher says. This is true for women, especially, Gleicher noted. Women tend to take their time, look around, and compare price - whereas men buy and get out, she added.“The store wants the customer to associate
24、buying decorations. They want customers to think, Oh yeah, this store has decorations, lets shop there,” Gleicher says. And if they do the displays well enough, it will encourage shoppers to make impulse purchases.Another reason why stores display howling ghouls (食尸鬼) in the summer heat is out of pu
25、re competition. Stores dont have a choice because its almost guaranteed that competitors will get the buck. Once shoppers buy a product, theyve bought it and dont need to go elsewhere, Gleicher said.“If more competitors keep pushing it earlier and earlier, it could end up starting in July, Gleicher
26、says. The longer they can extend the season, the better it is for their sales.”28What can we learn from the survey?ASome consumers purchase Halloween items early.BThe majority of customers prefer shopping online.CCustomers purchase Halloween products only for discount.DA few shoppers buy Halloween i
27、tems from department stores.29Why does Roberta Gleicher recommend stores put out decorations in August?ATo help customers get relaxed.BTo compete with other online stores.CTo attract women to buy more holiday decorations.DTo get customers in the holiday atmosphere and buy products.30Which of the fol
28、lowing will Roberta Gleicher most probably agree with?AMore competitors extend Halloween from August.BStores display decorations early due to competition.CDecorations will encourage men to make impulse purchases.DShoppers definitely wont go elsewhere once they buy a product.31Where is the text most
29、probably taken from?AAn advertisement.BA lecture.CA text-book.DA news report.International demand for black rhinoceros horn has seen the animals killed relentlessly for decades in countries such as Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. In 1960 there were an estimated 100,000 left, and by 1995 fewer th
30、an 2,500 remained. Conservation efforts have brought the number up to around 5,600 today - but the species is still critically endangered, and poaching (偷猎)is among its biggest threats.Scientists have worked to protect these rare creatures by tracking them with GPS devices strapped to their necks or
31、 ankles or implanted in their horns. The resulting data let researchers monitor the rhinos numbers and when they enter poaching hotspots. But the devices can fail, and drugging the animals to attach them may cause harm.A recent study describes a new tracking technology that uses smartphones to recor
32、d rhino footprints. Called the footprint-identification technique (FIT), this system includes software that can analyze the animals movements from a distance to help keep them safe from poachers.The idea came from working with local trackers in Zimbabwe. These footprint-reading experts can identify
33、individual black rhinos from the shape of their feet and, when visible, the impressions left by cracks in the animals heel pads (爪垫), which are as distinctive as a human fingerprint. We probably wouldnt even have looked at the footprints in the first place if we didnt have indigenous trackers, says
34、Sky Alibhai, co-founder of conservation organization WildTrack.To use the system, scientists gather rhino footprint images with a smartphone application and upload the pictures to a global database. FIT software analysis can then identify the individual animal and determine its age and sex with up t
35、o 99 percent accuracy. Researchers can also estimate the number of black rhinos in an area and watch their movements.“I think this is great for monitoring animals and counting individuals,” says Ciska Scheijen, a conservation scientist. Scheijen wonders about FITs performance during the rainy season
36、, when footprints are often indistinct, and if it can track larger herds as opposed to the 35 odd individuals this study monitored.32What does the underlined word them in Paragraph 2 refer to?AHoms.BRhinos.CDevices.DSmartphones.33What do we know about FIT?AIt is a GPS device implanted in rhinos.BIt
37、has been widely applied in animal protection.CIt can analyze footprints with a rather high accuracy.DIt can identify the rhino footprints and human fingerprints.34What is Ciska Scheijens attitude towards FIT?APositive.BUncertain.CDisapproving.DObjective.35What is the text mainly about?ABlack rhinos
38、are endangered due to poaching.BA new app tracks black rhinos through their footprints.CScientists have invented a new tracking technology FIT.DConservation organizations save endangered black rhinos.五、七选五3 Ways to Create Stronger ConnectionsTechnology has changed the way we communicate.
