Passage 1．（2021•焦作二模）
When music comes on ， some people are toe lappers or head bobbers﹣ ﹣ ， others shake their
hips，and then there are those who let the rhythm move them to a full body boogie ﹣（布吉舞）. But，
whatever it is， the way we dance to a beat is so noticeable to an individual that a computer can now identify
us by our unique dancing "fingerprint".
VResearchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research at Finland's University of Jyv skyl have been
using motion capture （动作捕捉） technology to study what a person 's dance moves say about his or her
mood， personality， and ability to sympathize. They recently made an accidental discovery while trying to
see if an ML machine， a form of artificial intelligence， would be able to identify which kind of music was
playing based on how the participants of the study were dancing. In their study ， the researchers motion
captured 73 participants with the AI technology while they danced to eight different music genres ；
electronica， jazz， metal， pop， rap， reggae， country， and blues. The only instruction the dancers
were given was to move in a way that felt natural.
But what it could do was more shocking. The computer was able to correctly identify which music one of the
participants was dancing to 94 percent of the time， regardless of what kind of music was playing， based on
the pattern of a person's dance style. It was the movement of participants' heads ， shoulders and knees that
were important markers in distinguishing between individual. "It seems as though a person's dance movements a
kind of fingerprint. Each person has a unique movement signature that stays the same no matter what kind of
music is playing，" said Pasi Saari， a co author of the study﹣， in a class.
It's possible that dance recognition software could become something similar to face recognition software﹣ ﹣
1
it doesn't seem as practical. For now， researchers say that they are not as interested in possible surveillance
（监视） uses of this technology， but rather what the results of this study say about how humans respond to
music. So don't worry about being identified at nightclub by an AI via your signature dance moves yet.
（1）What did the researchers expect to do with the ML machine？　　
A. Test the dancers' flexibility. B. Make dancers accustomed to the beat.
C. Identify the music using dancers' moves. D. Check the accuracy of motion capture technology.
（2）What might not help the AI technology determine a dancer's identity？　　
A. Head movement. B. Foot movement. C. Knee movement. D. Shoulder movement.
（3）What do researchers want to use the results for？　　
A. Putting it on the application market. B. Programming it to work at nightclub.
C. Learning about the human response to music. D. Developing a software like face recognition.﹣
（4）What can be the best title of the text？　　
A. A music style matters less than its beat.
B. New AI can generate your next dance move.
C. A dance recognition software will become more popular.﹣
D. New AI can identify you by your dancing "fingerprint".
Passage 2．（2021•焦作二模）
Many wildflowers of spring in eastern North America bloom thanks to ants. The tiny six legged﹣
gardeners have partnered with those plants and about 11， 000 others to spread their seeds. The plants，in
turn， "pay" for the service by attaching a calorie loaded appendage ﹣（附属物） to each seed， much
like fleshy fruits remunerate birds and mammals that desert seeds or poop （排泄） them out. But there's
2
more to the ant seed relationship than that exchange﹣， researchers reported last week at the annual meeting
of the Ecological Society of America， which was held online.
Many ants eat seeds. Certain plants attach a nutritive globe called an elaiosome to their seed coats ， which
serves as a favorite lunch for the ants' young and gives ants a handle on seeds that can be bigger than their
heads. Until now， researchers assumed the ants simply carry the seeds to their nests， feed the elaiosome to
their young， and deposit the seed either outside or inside at the colony's "garbage dump"， which provides a
rich environment for shooting.
In both the field and the lab ， Chelsea Miller presented ants with seeds from various trillium （延龄花）
species and found the ants were quick to pick up some species' seeds while leaving others to rot ， Miller said.
To find out how ants make their choices， Miller and Susan Whitehead at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University （Virginia Tech） used techniques to analyze the chemical makeup of elaiosomes. They found
that ants pick seeds based on the specific combination and concentrations of acid and other compounds （化合
物 ） made by the plant ， 20 of which are unique to trilliums. The ants' tastes may affect plant species'
distributions， say Kirsten Prior， an ecologist at Binghamton University： "Widespread trillium species are
preferred by seed dispersing ants compared to rare trillium species."﹣
Melissa Burt， an ecologist at Virginia Tech， hopes these studies bring ants new respect. "Many people
that a I talk to about ants only know them as insects that are taking over their kitchens， but many ants perform
important functions in ecosystems，" she says. "Seed dispersal is just one of those."
（1）What does the underlined word "remunerate" probably mean？　　
A. Attract. B. Track. C. Free. D. Reward.
（2）What does the text say about elaiosome in paragraph 2？　　
A. It's a tasty treat for young ants. B. It's no smaller than ants' heads.
C. It is used as young ants' new nest. D. It can be used as a weapon to protect ants.
（3）Why did Miller and his team figure out the chemicals of some seeds？　　
A. To analyze the specific combination affecting the plant growth.
