Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm （演算法）. Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training ”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity （圈养）. As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows.” As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called . The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced attracking.56.How does the writer begin this article about WildTrackA.By discussing the software that it employsB.By praising its recent efforts to raise fundsC.By explaining how and when it was foundedD.By summarizing different opinions about it57.According to this article, which animals are WildTrack mainly interested inA.Those which cause a threat to human settlementsB.Those which are now at risk of becoming extinctC.Those which have been illegally kept as petsD.Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago58.What does this article talk about in detailA.

A technique containing several steps59.What does the article suggest doing in wild areasA.Admiring the wild landscapeB.Preparing well for wild weatherC.Leaving wild creatures aloneD.Consuming a diet of wild plants（B） Science fiction paints a future where robots play an important part in everyday life. A technology firm is trying to make that future a reality today withan affordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Itsbrain, or Al block, is a cube （立方体） that fits in yourhand. That block connects to a motor block and two siliconwheels. Assembled, it s about four inches tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program tomove around. Artibo dess igners want it to providecompanionship and be a resource for learning coding. With itscamera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based Al, itcan respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie （对讲机）. It talks like a chatbotand can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learnother languages!Artibo isn qtu ite ready for stores yet, though. Itpsa rt of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGC product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one usingnothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas （画布） of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, an d watch how your robot responds. In Artibo scase coding doesn t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won lose interest in tArtibo.60.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is .A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn codingC.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languagesD.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots61.What can be concluded from the passageA.Programming robots is not really complicated.B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.62.The passage implies that .A.People can programme various orders even without code blocksB.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toysC.T he more familiar you re with coding, the more you ll like ArtiboD.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people（C）5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay the foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. But like many new technologies, its causing concern about potential health issues.The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid the groundwork for smartphones, and 4G allowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predecessor （前任）, and some experts argue it could be much faster.Too much of a good thingIt s not just about streaming data faster, it about streaming mosre of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie instantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless companies attempts to satisfy that demand.Uncertain effectsThe untested nature of 5G, and the extensiveness of its infrastructure （基础设施）, has some worried that the increased exposure could have serious health effects.Wireless safety advocates （倡议人士） have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure, and one group is trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago s neighborhoods.The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies used with 5G.Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there is no scientific evidence of negative health effects.Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5G health impacts lsikely wouldn soothe het r either. She said, “ People can t choose whether or not t oe xbpeosed to this radiation. ”“I don t need another test. The only test thast going to happen now is people s lives,”saidBlake, 67.Only time will tellThough little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be problematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley.The eyes and sweat glands （腺体） are among several body parts studies have shown could be at risk, Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.The millimeter waves used in 5G are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big un
