30、urine samples more than 96 percent of the time. Yet dogs can get bored and tired,so researchers want to develop an AI system that works more consistently.Living cells produce chemicals that come out from the skin,blood,urine and breath. Artificial noses,including the “Nano Nose“ that Mershin and one

31、 of his colleagues developed,can already detect those chemicals at the same parts-per-billion concentration as dogs.The team added the chemical sensing to an artificial neural （神經(jīng)的）networka type of AI algorithm that can learn from looking at examples how to identify faces,for instance.As the 2015 Jo

32、urnal of Urology study showed,dogs can be trained to reach more than 96 percent accuracy,and the AI can be trained to reach that same rate.Mershin plans to train the AI algorithm using data from the “Nano Nose”,which is currently one third the size of an iPhone X and could be further shrunk to be in

43、tern Massachusetts in 198 Lit s where Elman fled during the darkest period of her life.” 和“She recalled, I hid in my home.I hid in the place,to me,that was the safest place in the world. ”可知，埃爾曼在葡萄園度過了生命中最黑暗的時期，對她來說，那是世界上最安 全的地方。由此可知,從第二段我們可以了解到埃爾曼在葡萄園度過了艱難的日子。故 選D項(xiàng)。.C 解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“When someone tel

44、ls me something is organic and I don t really believe it because I taste something funny on it,I 11 put it in front of his face and if he likes the wine,he 11 actually go in and sniff it.If it s not right,he 11 turn his head away.”和That s how we know that the soil is actually organic and there are n

47、 意為“既來之,那么安之”，寓意為“遇到困境不退縮，苦中作樂，看到生活中陽光的一面”，符合 埃爾曼的人生觀，由此可知，她最可能同意這一項(xiàng)。應(yīng)選A項(xiàng)?！菊Z篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇議論文。成功總是伴隨著贊美，表揚(yáng)在一定程度上刺激了神經(jīng) 遞質(zhì)多巴胺,它是所有成癮行為的誘因。成功有上癮的特性，如果無止境地追求成功，結(jié) 果卻得不到滿足，這樣也無法獲得幸福。.A解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段尾句可知，如果永無止境地追求更多的成功，結(jié)果卻 得不到滿足，也無法獲得幸福。結(jié)合第二段內(nèi)容可知，成功具有成癮的特性，故成功并不 總是帶來積極的結(jié)果。應(yīng)選A項(xiàng)。.B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一、二句可知,對成功的渴望可能是人類的
