12、 have a CLIMATE.It just has WEATHERIn hot countries most of the indoor places that need to be comfortable are air-conditioned,and in cold countries most of the places that need to be comfortable are properly heated.The UK is the exception,since the weather is often interesting and no one really take

13、s heat and cold seriously.So although the weather can be very cold,very hot,very wet,or just wildly confused,it always takes people by surprise.When it gets to winter and there is actually some SNOW,it always takes the people by surprise.It is frontpage news,and even a few inches of snow brings the

14、country to a standstill.But then,what happens next is even more surprising and catches the folk off guard completely.And who could possibly have predicted it?!IT MELTS! Flooding!What a surprise!Then in the summer,it gets very hot.If it had been Thailand or Australia,thered be no problem.It is suppos

15、ed to be hot,so,there is air conditioning.But in the UK,just total confusion at the sudden hot weather.Shock,health problems,and despite the fact that the country is considered to be where it always rains,summertime brings drought! But do people have cisterns（水箱）and reserve water tanks?Wouldnt it ma

16、ke sense for people to store rainwater in case of drought?Of course it would,but it is a dependency-culture where people have been trained to be dependent on the state,which then means that in emergency people are stuck!Why is the British weather so strange?It is something to do with the combination

17、 of an almost Arctic latitude（纬度）combined with being an island and having the Gulf Stream bringing warm weather from the tropics.Helpful people in the know on geographical meteorology（气象学）have commented that the general situation with the UK weather is even more complex,as many different things cont

18、ribute to the changeable weather.As well as the North Atlantic drift,there is the fact that the UK is affected by the following major air masses: the tropical maritime（海的）Gulf Stream,the Polar Maritime air from the North,the Arctic Maritime,the Polar Continental,and the Tropical Continental.Theres a

19、lso fast flowing air in Jet streams.Air goes around in convection currents in Hadley cells and in Ferrel Cells.Because the British Isles can get weather coming from hot or cold zones,and from land or sea,a changeable hot/cold wet/dry weather is found.1、What is the British attitude toward heat and co

22、asions and has a history of more than 2,000 years. UNESCO in February 2019 calls it an absolute masterpiece, not only because of the ambitious character of the undertaking but also the perfection of its construction.”But perfection isnt protection. 51.2 percent of the Great Wall had either already d

23、isappeared or is at a significant risk of disappearing. Besides for wind and rain erosion, the main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall are human factors such as tourism, construction, human contact and so on.Pamukkale，TurkeyPamukkale, which means “cotton castle” in Turkish, is famous for

24、its shining white calcite terraces (方解石阶地)with warm and mineral-rich waters overrun.Before being listed as a World Heritage Site in 1988, Pamukkale had been severely damaged by human activities. People used hot spring water to fill swimming pools, some visitors stood on the rocks and some even bathe

25、d in the hot springs with soap and shampoo. To protect the terraces, the Turkish government has decided to pull down the hotels and require all tourists to visit this site barefoot.Great Barrier Reef, AustraliaHome to 400 types of coral and 1,500 species of fish, the Great Barrier Reef draws visitor

26、s to Australia from all over the world.However, the Great Barrier Reef is expected to suffer from increasingly frequent bleaching events, cases in which corals turn white and may die, according to a UNESCO report. The heat waves caused by global warming have killed half of the coral here in the two

27、years, according to a CNN report. Pollution from industry developments and harmful fishing practices are also big concerns.The Dead Sea, JordanAt 423 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is 10 times saltier than the ocean, meaning that the water is so dense, even tourists who can9t swim will be able

28、 to float.But the seaside resorts built in the 1980s now sit kilometers away from the waters edge, which has lost half of its surface area in the past 40 years.

Often, however, it is presented to us as being so abstract that it seems impossibly distant. For those of you looking for something a little more

32、 concrete, a new report suggests that the effects of climate change may significantly affect coffee.The report, put out by The Climate Institute, describes the effects of climate change on various coffee-growing nations and the resultant effects on the plants and those who grow them.Coffee Arabica p

33、lants, which produce 70% of all commercial coffee, can be adversely affected by even a half-degree change in typical weather conditions. This sensitivity to temperature puts the plant at increased risk of the effects of climate change.In Central America the average temperature has risen by a full de

34、gree Celsius since 1960. In Ethiopia the average temperature has increased by l. 3 degrees. This increase is enough to have notable effects on the plants. In Tanzania the productivity per hectare of coffee has fallen by half since the 1960s due to changes in temperature.Indeed, studies claim that by

35、 2050 the area of the world suitable for growing coffee will be cut by half. Coffee production is likely to then be pushed to higher elevations(海拔) to take advantage of lower temperatures, but this will not be enough to make up for lost lowland areas.Coffee is the second most traded goods by develop

36、ing nations, and the inability of producer nations to export it could cause dramatic chain reactions in their economies.Millions of people make a living in the production, processing, transport, and sale of coffee;their livelihoods would stand to take a blow as growing areas decrease and prices rise

37、.As the temperature keeps rising, your cup of coffee will become much more expensive,and it may also carry an aftertaste bitterer than usual, for all those workers in the coffee belt left without the means to make a living as conditions worsen.

Researchers from the University of Sydney found t

41、hat walking at a brisk(快的) or fast pace was associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent for any cause of death.This effect was even more obvious in older age group, with fast walkers over the age of 60 reducing their risk of death by a surprising 53 percent. Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, who led

42、 the study, explained, “A fast pace is generally five to six kilometers per hour, but it really depends on a walkers fitness levels; an alternatives indicator is to walk at a pace that makes you slightly out of breath or sweaty.”In the study, the researchers looked at the results of 11 surveys from

43、134 to 2008, in which participants recorded their walking pace, as well as age, sex and BMI. The analysis showed that walking at an average pace was associated with a 20 percent risk reduction for all-cause mortality(死亡率) compared with walking at a slow pace, while walking at a brisk or fast pace wa

44、s associated with a risk reduction of 24 percent.The researchers hope the findings will encourage the development of public health message about the benefits of walking pace. Professor Stamatakis added, “These analyses suggest that increasing walking pace may be a straightforward way for people to i

45、mprove heart health and risk for premature mortality providing a simple message for public health campaigns to promote.“Especially in situations when walking more isnt possible due to time pressures or a less walking-friendly environment, walking faster may be a good option to get the heart rate up

46、one that most people can easily add to their lives.”1、Who benefit most from walking fast?ACancer sufferers.BThe elderly.CThose who have heart problems.DThose who have high BMI.2、What decides how fast a person can walk according to Professor Stamatakis?AHis/Her fitness levels.BHis/Her ages.CHis/Her w

48、 and more people are walking fast for health.DA fast walking pace can benefit peoples health.25（10分）Machines might one day replace human laborers in a number of professions,but surely they wont ever replace human artists.Right?Think again.Not even our artists will be safe from the inevitable machine

49、 takeover,if a new development in artificial intelligence by a team of researchers from Rutgers University and Facebooks AI.lab offers a clue of whats to come.They have designed an AI.capable of not only producing art,but actually inventing whole new aesthetic styles similar to movements like impres

50、sionism or abstract expressionism,reports.The idea,according to researcher Marian Mazzone,was to make art that is novel,but not too novel.The model used in this project involved a generator network,which produces the images,and a discriminator network,which judges whether its art.Once the generator

51、learns how to produce work that the distributor recognizes as art,its given an additional directive: to produce art that doesnt match any known aesthetic styles.You want to have something really creative and strikingbut at the same time not go too far and make something that isnt aesthetically（美学地）p

52、leasing,explained Ahmed Elgammal.The art that was generated by the system was then presented to human judges alongside human-produced art without showing which was which.To the researchers surprise,the machine-made art scored slightly higher overall than the human-produced art.Of course,machines can

53、t yet replace the meaning thats infused in works by human artists,but this project shows that artist skill sets certainly seem duplicatable by machines.What will it take for machines to produce content thats infused with meaning?That might be the last AI. frontier.Human artists can at least hang the

54、ir hats in that field.for now.Imagine having people over for a dinner party and they ask,Who is that by?And you say,Well,its a machine actually.That would be an interesting conversation starter,said Kevin Walker.1、What is implied in the first paragraph?AArtists wont be replaced by AI.BAI can produce

55、 new styles of art.CAI is totally at a loss about impressionism.DAI fails to reflect abstract expressionism.2、What did Marian find in his study?AAI can copy the skills of artists.BAI can combine content with meaning.CAI can make art aesthetically unpleasant.DAI can please human judges with its art.3
