a. they serve as evidence that there is still life in the northwest greenland. b. they were one of the many ancient lives that were left in the greenland mud. c. they are indicators that greenland was much warmer than previously thought. d. they help the researchers realize that there was once a warm period in arctic. 29. the new information about greenland is important because a. researchers have no idea how to measure greenlands warming speed b. it can help researchers better study greenlands response to warming c. people should be more sensitive to the changes in the ice in greenland d. it is uncertain how fast the earth changes with manmade global warming 30. which of the following can be inferred from the passage? a. it is easier for todays scientists to find ancient lake deposits. b. people are surprised at the landscape feature of greenland today. c. researchers measure the changing temperatures by directly examining mud. d. greenland holds enough ice that might one day threaten life in coastal cities. 31. which do you think is the best title of the passage? a.greenland used to be much greener b. earth once experienced warm periods. c. coastal cities warned of coming disasters d. northwest greenland, a perfect destination 7 d a new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to read human personalities. the eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. and if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated (复杂的) artificial intelligent algorithms (算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. that is the result of a new study on theconnectionbetweeneyemovementsandpersonality,conductedby neuroscience researchers based at the university of south australia and published in the scientific journal frontiers in neuroscience. eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality, wrote the researchers, led by university of south australia neuroscientist tobias loetscher, whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determines their personality traits (特点) with well- established questionnaires for determining personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site science daily. the researchers fed the data into their al algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a persons major personality traits, such as “neurotic-ism, extra version (外向), agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as perceptual (感知的) curiosity, the scientists wrote. the new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines, loetscher said. people are always looking for improved, personalized services. todays robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non- verbal information, loetscher said in a statement quoted by indian express. this research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals. thestudyrevealedpreviouslyundiscoveredrelationsbetweenspecific 8 personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies ，according to a summary in britains daily mail newspaper. 32. what do the underlined words peer into in paragraph 2 probably mean? a. understandb.stare atc. search ford. concern about 33. how did the researchers conduct the research? a. it was carried out in a lab. b. 42 subjects eye movements were recorded. c.the students daily movements were tracked. d. its subjects personalities were determined by computer. 34.according to tobias loetscher, what can we know?
