If their noses inhaled(吸入)a certain type of air pollution when they were pregnant. Thats the finding of a new study. Rele
6、ased when things arent burned completely, this pollution is known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs. The biggest sources of these PAHs: the burning of fossil fuels, wood and trash. Frederica Perera works at Columbia Universitys Mailman School of Public Health is New York City. She researc
7、hes how exposure to things in the environment affects childrens health in a new study, she and her team studied the exposure to air pollution of 233 nonsmoking pregnant women in New York City. Because burning tobacco can spew(排放)PAHs into the air and lungs, Pereras team focused on nonsmokers. The re
8、searchers wanted to probe(探查)other sources of PAHs, ones thats would have been hard for an individual to avoid. The team started by testing the blood of each woman during pregnancy. The reason Any PAHs in a womans blood would also be available to the baby in her womb. Nine years later, the researche
9、rs investigated signs of attention problems in those children, now age 9. They asked each childs mother a series of questions. These included whatever her child had problems doing things that needed sustained(长期的)mental effort, such as homework or games with friends. The scientists also asked if the
10、 kids had trouble following instructions or made frequent, careless mistakes. All of these can be symptoms of a disorder called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. About one in U.S. children has ADHD. Among the women studied, traffic and home heating were the primary sources of air po
11、llution exposure, Perera and her team suspect. Some of these women had low levels of PAHs in their blood. Ohters had high levels. Those with high levels were five times as likely to have children who showed attention problems by age 9. The new findings were published November 5 in the journal PLOS O
12、NE. 16. Perera and her team chose nonsmoking pregnant women all over America. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 17. The main purpose of the research was to find out how exposure to PAHs played a role in harming the subjects physical health. 18. Nonsmoking mothers were selected because the effect of
13、 smoking on PAHs was unclear. 19. The blood of each woman was tested once a month during pregnancy. 20 Kids with ADHD commonly fail in school. 21. The women with high levels of PAHs in their blood were more likely to have kids with ADHD. 22. Traffic and home heating were considered to be the biggest
14、 sources of PAHs for the subjects in the research. 第3部分:概况大意与完成句子 First Image-recognitions software 1) Dartmouth researchers and their colleagues have created an artificial intelligence software that uses photos to locate documents on the Internet with far greater accuracy than ever before. 2)The ne
15、w system, which was tested on photos and is now being applied to videos, shows for the first time that a machine learning algorithm(运算法则)for image recognition and retrieval is accurate and efficient enough to improve large-scale document searches online. The system uses pixel(像素)data in images and p
16、otentially videorather than just textto locate documents. It learns to recognize the pixels associated with a search phrase by studying the results from text-based image search engines. The knowledge gleaned(收集)from those results can then be applied to other photos without tags or captions(图片说明),mak
17、ing for more accurate document search results. 3)“Over the last 30 years,” says Associate Professor Korenzo Torresani, a co-author of the study,” the web has evolved from a small collection of mostly text documents to a modern, massive, fast-growing multimedia datastet, where nearly every page inclu
18、des multiple pictures of videos. When a person looks at a Web page, he immediately get the gist(主旨)of it by looking at the pictures in it. Yet, surprisingly, all existing popular search engine, such as Google or Bing, strip away the information contained in the photos and use exclusively the text of
19、 Wed pages to perform the document retrieval. Our study is the first to show that modern machine vision systems are accurate and efficient enough to make effective use of the information contained in image pixels to improve document search.” 4)The researchers designed and tested a machine vision sys
20、tema type of artificialintelligence that allows computers to learn without being explicitly programmed that extracts semantic(语义的)information from pixels of photos in Web pages. This informationg is used to enrich the description of the HTML page used by search engines for document retrieval. The re
21、searchers tested their approach using more than 600 search queries(查询)on a database of 50 million Wed pages. They selected the text-retrieval search engine with the best performance and modified it to make use of the additional semantic information extracted by their method from the pictures of the
22、Web pages. They found tht this produced a 30 percent improvement in precision over the original search engine purely based on text. 23. Paragraph 1 _ 24. Paragraph 2 _ 25.

When people argue about
25、 whether coffee is good for health, theyre usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too. Traditionally, coffee bushes were
26、planted under the canopy(树冠)of taller indigenous(土生土长的)trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there arent any trees. With increased production come incr
27、eased profits. Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat. Native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there. Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more che
28、mical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually dr
29、ink. Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as shade grown and bird friendly. Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But were paying for the health of the birds,
30、the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think its worth it. 31. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee. B. Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce. C. Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee. D. People should buy shade-grown coffee. 32. The function of the word Traditionally in Paragraph 2 is to show_. A. the positive effects of coffee. B. a change of coffee growth. C. something that is the most important. D. how coffee production used to be.
