If you are a traditional traveller who believes cameras are irreplaceable,here are some things you should pay attention to when looking for the perfect camera.

Sensor size

Along with the megapixel (百万像素) count,the size of the sensor dictates the general image quality as well as the camera's performance in low light. It also determines whether the camera can electronically put the details it captures bigger enough to see—which is what makes the pictures not clear enough to see when you view the photos on a bigger screen.

Portability

“The important thing is that the camera isn't too big or heavy,and that you have a good zoom (变焦距镜头) range for both wide-angle and telephoto shots (远距摄影照片),”Atherton told CNN.A good choice would be a slim,light pocket camera with a high-qualified built-in optical zoom. “These are very popular for travel as they are light,but built with a telephoto lens that can zoom up to 60 times,” Atherton said.

Zoom and shutter (快门) speed

For action or crowd shots,a fast shutter speed is a key factor. “When dealing with anything that's active—wildlife or people in action on the street—faces change within a tiny part of a second,” said Arnold,“a fast shutter speed is helpful in shooting the several hundred photos you might need to get that single winning shot.”

1. According to Atherton,what isn't a requirement for an ideal camera?

A.Portable shape.

B.Wide-ranged zoom.

C.Good telephoto lens.

D.Reasonable sensor size.

2.What will contribute to a satisfactory photo of a running lion in the wild?

A.The sensor size. B.The zoom range.

C.The shutter speed. D.The megapixel.

3.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A.How to choose ideal travel cameras?

B.How to put a camera into good use?

C.A fashionable camera—up for sale

D.A high-quality camera—a modern life's must

Computers have beaten human world champions at chess and, earlier this year, the board game Go. So far, though, they have struggled at the card table. So we challenged one AI to a game.

Why is poker(扑克) so difficult? Chess and Go are “information complete” games where all players can see all the relevant information. In poker, other players’ cards are hidden, making it an “information incomplete” game. Players have to guess opponents’ hands from their actions—tricky for computers. Poker has become a new benchmark for AI research. Solving poker could lead to many breakthroughs, from cyber security to driverless cars.

Scientists believe it is only a matter of time before AI once again vanquishes humans, hence our human-machine match comes up in a game of Texas Hold’s Em Limit Poker. The AI was developed by Johannes Heinrich, researcher studying machine learning at UCL. It combines two techniques: neural(神经的) networks and reinforcement learning(强化学习).

Neural networks, to some degree, copy the structure of human brains: their processors are highly interconnected and work at the same time to solve problems. They are good at spotting patterns in huge amounts of data. Reinforcement learning is when a machine, given a task, carries it out, learning from mistakes it makes. In this case, it means playing poker against itself billions of times to get better.

Mr Heinrich told Sky News: “Today we are presenting a new procedure that has learned in a different way, more similar to how humans learn. In particular, it is able to learn abstract patterns, represented by its neural network, which allow it to deal with new and unseen situations.”

After two hours of quite defensive play, from the computer at least, we called it a draw.

1.Why can’t the computer beat humans at the poker game?

A. Because humans are cleverer than the computer.

B. Because humans practice playing the poker game every day.

C. Because the computer can’t learn the regular rules of the poker game.

D. Because the computer can’t know the other players’ cards completely.

2.What does the underlined word “vanquishes” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Leaves.B. Defeats.C. Cheats.D. Serves.

3.What do we know about the reinforcement learning of AI?

A. It solves problems correctly every time.

B. It is the same as the learning of humans.

C. It learns from the mistakes appearing in a task.

D. It is more developed than the studying ways of humans.

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A. The new procedure of AI has some features of humans.

B. Computers are stronger than humans in every aspect.

C. Humans will beat computers at playing poker forever.

D. Scientists feel unhappy about the result of the poker game.

JOHANNESBURG—They say cats have nine lives. Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍) has joined that club of clever survivors.

South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain candlestick(烛台) that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.

But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour flight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.

Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toad’s boarding pass was handed to Glasby.

“He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”

On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toad species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out, and also by slowing its breathing and heart rate—methods that help the species survive in times of drought.

“We’ve had snakes in imported timber and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit. We were called because the toad was right inside the candlestick, and we had to break it to get it out” Glasby, the inspector, told The Star, a South African newspaper.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Asian toads can’t get used to the life in South Africa.

B. South Africa ignores the protection of animals.

C. An Asian toad gets a new home in South Africa.

D. Workers shipped a toad to South Africa on purpose.

2.If the toad is released into the wild, ________.

A. it will make the locals feel shocked

B. it will lose its life in the wild

C. it might flee into another country

D. it might harm the native species

3.The toad was able to arrive in South Africa alive ________.

A. because it formed hard skin to protect itself

B. because it escaped all attacks and hunts

C. because it used to stop its breath in winter

D. because it was lucky to be given a chance

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. a candlestick is the best place for a toad

B. droughts make toads live longer

C. sometimes animals are transported accidentally

D. no one has seen such a big toad in Africa

第二节 根据短文内容,从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

__ 36In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he sensed that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.38. If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.

However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. 39 If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually expose s himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.40
