A student project has discovered another power of AI: It can be good at locating (定位) where photos were taken.
The project is called Predicting Image Geolocations (or PIGEON). It's the work of three Stanford students. They designed it in order to recognize (辨别) locations on Google Street View. The team showed the AI a few personal photos it had never seen before, and it could tell where they were taken.
PIGEON works well because it can pick up on all the little things in photos. It can notice small differences in leaves, soil and weather. The group says the technology can be used in many ways. It could recognize roads or power lines that need fixing. It may also help scientists do surveys of invasive (侵入的) plants in an area.
"However, this new power is likely to be a double-edged sword. It could be used to reveal people's private, personal information," says Jay Stanley, an expert at the American Civil Liberties Union.
Stanley worries that companies might soon use AI to find out where you've travelled. "Governments might check your photos to see if you've visited certain countries. Stalking (跟踪) is also a possible threat," he says. People have long been able to remove GPS location information from photos they post online. That may not work any more. Luckily, the Stanford students are well aware of the risks. Because of these worries, they haven't given the public entry to their programme.
Stanley thinks the use of AI for recognizing locations will become even more powerful in the future. What will that mean? "Well, be very careful about what's in the background in the photos you post online," he says.

答案
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍人工智能项目“预测图像地理位置（PIGEON）”，它能定位照片的拍摄地点。
1. B 细节理解题。根据第一段“It can be good at locating where photos are taken.”可知 PIGEON 能定位照片的拍摄地点。故选 B。
2. B 推理判断题。根据第五段“Stanley worries that companies might soon use AI to find out where you've travelled. ‘... Stalking is also a possible threat,’ he says.”可推断公众使用 PIGEON 不够安全。故选 B。
3. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Well, be very careful about what's in the background in the photos you post online,’ he says.”可知发布到网上的照片中，要非常小心背景中的内容，由此推断 Stanley 建议在网上发照片前要三思。故选 D。
4. D 标题归纳题。结合文章内容和第一段“A student project has discovered another power of AI: It can be good at locating where photos were taken.”可知本文主要介绍了一个人工智能项目能定位照片的拍摄地点。故选 D。

解析
【分析】
这是一篇介绍AI图像定位功能的说明文阅读理解，解题时可以按照以下思路推进：1. 先快速通读全文，明确文章核心是介绍斯坦福学生开发的PIGEON项目，该AI可以识别照片的拍摄位置，同时兼具实用价值和隐私泄露的风险；2. 针对细节类题目，直接返回原文定位对应描述，和选项逐一比对排除错误项；3. 针对推理判断题，不能直接选原文原句，要结合文本信息做合理的延伸推导，排除不符合原文逻辑、过于绝对的选项；4. 针对标题归纳题，要抓住全文的核心主线，排除只覆盖局部内容、和主题无关的片面选项，选出最贴合全文主旨的答案。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据文章第一段“It can be good at locating (定位) where photos were taken.”以及第二段对PIGEON项目的介绍，可知该AI可以判断照片的拍摄地点。A选项“识别拍照的人”原文无相关表述，C选项“判断电线所属的公司”不符合原文内容，D选项“判断拍照时的天气”错误，AI只是能捕捉照片里天气的微小差异，并非直接判断拍照时的天气，因此选B。
2. 推理判断题：根据第五段内容，专家提到该技术可能泄露用户隐私，存在企业追踪出行轨迹、政府核查出行记录、跟踪骚扰等安全隐患，且开发者也没有向公众开放该程序，可推知目前公众使用PIGEON还不够安全。A选项“没人对该项目感兴趣”和全文内容相悖，C选项“只有政府能核查我们去过的国家”表述过于绝对，原文提到企业也可能使用该技术，D选项“该项目现在已经被广泛应用”错误，目前开发者并未向公众开放程序，因此选B。
3. 推理判断题：根据最后一段Stanley的建议“be very careful about what's in the background in the photos you post online”，可知他提醒网民上传网络的照片要格外留意背景内容，也就是建议大家在网上发布照片前要谨慎三思。A选项“政府应该停止使用PIGEON”、B选项“老师应该教学生使用PIGEON”原文均未提及，C选项“家长要阻止孩子在网上发照片”表述过于极端，不符合原文逻辑，因此选D。
4. 标题归纳题：全文围绕AI可以通过照片定位拍摄位置这一核心功能展开，既介绍了该技术的优势也提到了对应的隐私风险。A选项“现在定位是件容易的事”偏离主题，B选项“在网上发布照片”只是文章末尾提到的注意事项，并非全文核心，C选项“三位著名的斯坦福学生”只是项目的开发者，不是文章的叙述重点，只有D选项“AI已经定位到你的位置”最贴合全文核心主旨，因此选D。
【答案】
1. B 2. B 3. D 4. D
【知识点】
细节信息提取，推理判断，主旨归纳
【点评】
本题选取和人工智能热点相关的科普说明文，题型覆盖了初中英语阅读理解最常考的三类题型，既考查学生快速定位原文关键信息的基础阅读能力，也锻炼学生逻辑推导、归纳全文主旨的综合阅读能力，同时也能引导学生关注网络时代的个人隐私保护问题，有很强的现实意义。
