D.Theyshouldensureanimals’wellbeing.【答案】28.C29.A30.B31.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨动物园的道德性争议，分析动物园与动物保护区的差异，指出应规范动物园运营，强调保护动物的利益才是首要原则。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“TheyfeltlikeauniqueopportunitytoseeunusualanimalsthatIwouldotherwisenevercomeacross,butasIgrowolder,I’verealizedmanyethical(道德的)issueszoosraise.(这些动物园曾让我觉得是邂逅珍稀动物的绝佳机会，不然我这辈子可能都见不到它们；但随着年纪渐长，我才意识到动物园背后存在诸多道德层面的问题。)”可知，在作者小时候，动物园意味着一个能邂逅稀有物种的机会。故选C项。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“TheHenryDoorlyZooworkstowardprotectionthroughprogramsofscientificinvestigationinthefieldsofreproductivephysiology,nutritionandmedicine.Thisallowsthemtoemphasizeprofessionaltrainingandresearchintheprotectionofendangeredspecies.(亨利·多利动物园通过生殖生理学、营养学和医学领域的科学调查项目致力于动物保护。这使得该动物园能够重视濒危物种保护方面的专业培训和研究工作。)”可知，作者举亨利·多利动物园的例子是为了说明动物园为照顾和保护动物所做出的诸多努力。故选A项。【30题详解】词句猜测题。根据第六段中的“AZA-accreditedzoosshowastrongcommitmenttoprovidingahigh-qualityenvironmentforanimalsandanenrichingexperienceforguests,whilenon-accreditedonesfacemoreissueswithmedicalcareandrecord-keeping,demonstratingthatweneedtofindanewwaytomakezoosaccountable.(获得美国动物园和水族馆协会认证的动物园坚定地致力于为动物提供高质量的生存环境，为游客提供丰富的体验，而未获得认证的动物园则在医疗护理和记录保存方面存在更多问题，这表明我们需要找到一种新方法让动物园承担起相应的责任。)”可知，未认证动物园存在诸多问题，因此需要让动物园承担责任，画线词的意思是“有责任的”。故选B项。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Instead,weshouldadvocateforanimalsincaptivity(圈养)byensuringeveryzoofollowsethicalpractices.(相反，我们应该通过确保每个动物园都遵循道德规范来维护圈养动物的权益。)”以及最后一段中的“Thereisn’taclearansweronwhetherzoosshouldbearound,butitisclearthatsavinganimalshastocomefirst.(动物园是否应该存在目前没有明确的答案，但显而易见的是，拯救动物必须放在首位。)”可知，作者认为动物园无论是否存在，都应该保障动物的福祉。故选D项。DBeingmorecarefulinwhichAImodelsweusefortaskscouldpotentiallysave31.9terawatt-hoursofenergythisyearalone.TiagodaSilvaBarrosattheUniversityofCoted’Azurandhiscolleagueslookedat14differenttaskspeopleusegenerativeAItoolsfor,rangingfromtextgenerationtospeechrecognition.Theythenexaminedpublicleaderboardsforhowdifferentmodelsperform.Theenergyconsumptionofthemodelsduringinferencewasmeasured.“Basedonthesizeofthemodel,weestimatedtheenergyconsumption,andthenwecanusethedataforfurthercalculations,”saysdaSilvaBarros.Theirresearchfoundthat,acrossall14tasks,switchingfromthebest-performingtothemostenergy-efficientmodelsforeachtaskreducedenergyuseby65.8percent,whileonlymakingtheoutput3.9percentlessuseful.Theyweresurprisedbyhowmuchcouldbesaved.However,gettinguserstopickthemostefficientmodels“isunlikelytoresultinlimitingtheenergyincrease,atleastfornow,”saysChrisPreistattheUniversityofBristol.“Reducingenergyperprompt(提示词)willsimplyallowmorecustomerstobeservedmorerapidlywithmorecomplexreasoningoptions,”hesays.“So,energysavingswouldrequirechangefrombothusersandAIcompanies,”saysdaSilvaBarros.“Wehavetothinkinthedirectionofrunningsmallmodels,evenifwelosesomeoftheperformance,”hesays.“Andcompanies,whentheydevelopmodels,it’simportanttheysharesomeinformationonthemodelwhichallowstheuserstounderstandandevaluatewhetherthemodelisveryenergyconsumingornot.”SashaLuccioniatHuggingFacepointsoutthatanyresearchinthisspaceonlyreliesonexternalestimatesandanalysis.“Whatweneed,todothesekindsofmorecomplexanalyses,ismoredatafromAIcompanies,”shesays.“Thiswillallowresearchersandpolicy-makerstomakeinformedplansanddecisions.”32.Whatdoestheresearchmainlyfocuson?A.BehaviorpatternsofAIusers.
