D(2024·南通市如皋市模拟)
More researchers are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor the environment and support endangered creatures. Unlike traditional methods that can damage the environment or require considerable (相当多的) time and physical work，AI has the ability to quickly and effectively deal with large amounts of data (数据). Let's learn more details together.
Creatures are disappearing at a speed thousands of times higher than that millions of years ago，with about one million creatures endangered. The United Nations set a goal in 2020 to safeguard at least 30% of the Earth's land and oceans by the end of 2030. "AI is imperfect but could make important discoveries faster and earlier，" says Nicolas Miailhe. "We need skilled humans to design AI models and check and collect data."
A type of AI model called a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been developed to recognize bird sounds. The CNN is able to pick out 75 kinds of birds the researchers have. "Our results prove that AI is ready for recognizing creatures in the wild from the sound，" says Müller，the team leader. "All that is needed now is more training data collected by humans."
Besides monitoring creatures in real time，AI can be used to model the impacts of human activities on the environment and rebuild historical changes. Researchers have used AI to discover how a century's environmental damage in a river has led to creature loss.
Although it is well-known that human activities have resulted in creature loss in rivers and lakes，little is known about which activities have the largest impact. "AI will do soon，" says Luisa Orsini，a researcher from the University of Birmingham.
37. What can we infer from the words of Nicolas Miailhe and Müller?
A. AI models can be designed by everyone.
B. AI models have already developed perfectly.
C. AI's ability needs the CNN to discover.
D. AI's ability is much greater than what people imagine.
38. The meaning of the underlined word "impacts" in Paragraph 4 is "
A. effects
B. chances
C. secrets
D. purposes
39. (创新考法·篇章结构)What is the structure of the article?
40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A. AI is only used to monitor the environment and support endangered creatures.
B. Researchers have already prevented a century's environmental damage in a river.
C. Creatures are disappearing faster than before with about one million creatures endangered.
D. AI has spent more time dealing with large amounts of data than traditional methods.
