11、hools have made a serious comeback. Apparently instructors are in short supply in sunny L.A, where there are 13 jobs at vocational schools for every applicant on the market.

18、 (食草动物) affect the plant diversity around them. In highly productive ecosystems, like jungles, animals would favor dominant, fast-growing plants. This would free up nutrients and space, allowing for a greater variety of plants to boom. In contrast, herbivores in regions with low plant biomass, like
19、deserts, would eat whatever they could find, only driving down plant diversity.Now, a team of scientists has tested this hypothesis(假说). Burkepile, a biology professor in UC Santa Barbara, and his colleagues reviewed 252 studies comparing plant diversity in areas where herbivores were and were not e
20、xcluded.Their study revealed that whether herbivores increase or decrease plant diversity depends on whats on the menu. In general, the correlation (相关性) between herbivory and diversity wasnt nearly as clear as everyone had expected. However, the team noticed a much stronger association: when the ec
21、osystem hosted a particularly vigorous species of plant, herbivory seemed to be crucial in maintaining biodiversity.For instance, grasslands in the tallgrass prairie in the American Midwest tend to be dominated (控制) by fast-growing grasses, such as big bluestem. The team discovered that herbivores h
22、ad an outsized effect on maintaining biodiversity by keeping big bluestem from taking over dozens of smaller, slower growing plant species. However not all herbivores are on an equal foot. The team found that the connection between herbivory and diversity was particularly strong in grasslands where
23、more animals feed on grass than on herbs and bushes. This seems reasonable, since grasses tend to be the dominant species in grasslands, as the name suggests.These findings are more than academic. “Weve seen three decades of really important papers saying that ecosystems work better when you have mo
24、re species in them,” Burkepile said. “What our data suggests is that herbivores are especially important for maintaining this biodiversity in places where you have a really dominant plant species.” As biodiversity continues to decline worldwide, conservationists are looking for ways to prevent catas
25、trophic losses. “This suggests that one possible approach to managing ecosystems and biodiversity is to use herbivores to manage these dominant species,” Burkepile added.1、According to Paragraph 1, how do herbivores help to increase biodiversity?ABy consuming dominant, fast-growing plants.BBy destro

29、y, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is the worlds first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable.” The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another instituti
30、on.Before becoming a student, Bina48 appeared as a guest speaker in Barry s classes for several years. One day when addressing Barrys class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philos
31、ophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesnt understand, said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.“Some interesting things happened in t
32、he class,” said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is “fairly simple its a feeling,” said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry, highlighting some of t

Bina48s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judg
34、ed that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely.1、(小题1)Wha

44、 prejudice(偏见)against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology.

This couldnt be further from the truth. Most comput
50、er games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the grey gamers may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower rea
