10、ennington was born on October 8, 1872. At age 12, her interest in science began when she read a library book on medical chemistry. In 1890, she enrolled in (登記入學(xué)) Towne Scientific School. In two years, she completed the requirements for a bachelors degree. Pennington received her PhD in chemistry fr

11、om the University of Pennsylvania in 1895. Then she spent two more years at the University of Pennsylvania studying chemical botany. In 1901, she founded the Philadelphia Clinical Laboratory, where she conducted bacteriological and chemical research. In 1904, Pennington headed the lab for the Philad

12、elphia Department of Health and Charities. She examined all phases (階段) of milk production. Because of public demand for safer products, the US government passed the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act.

But would he respond correctly if the word were spoken by a stranger, or someone with a thick accent? A new study shows he will, suggesting dogs understand spoken words in a clever an

20、d complicated way long thought unique to humans. Holly Root-Gutteridge, a biologist, and her colleagues ran a test. The researchers filmed 42 dogs of different breeds as they sat with their owners near an audio speaker that played noncommand words with similar sounds, such as “had”, “hid”, and “whod

21、”. The words were spoken-not by the dogs owner-but by several strangers, men and women of different ages and with different accents. In the video above, the dog Max turns quickly and listens seriously when he hears a woman say “had” for the first time. But as other women with different accents repea

22、t the word, he loses interest, indicating he knows they are all saying the same word. When a speaker says a new word, like “whod”, Max cheers up again, but his attention flags when a new voice returns to saying “had”. Together, these reactions suggest dogs recognize words regardless of the speaker-a

23、nd that they dont need any training to do it, the team reports today in Biology Letters. “Its wonderfuland novelto see research looking at dogs reactions to words that are not commands or requests,” says Alexandra Horowitz, a researcher at Barnard College in New York City. Because of the nature of t

24、he test, however, the scientists cannot show that the dogs “understood” what the words meant, Horowitz points out. “But the work clearly demonstrates that dogs are listening to us,” she says, even when our speech is not about them.5.

27、 meant flying cars and food pills. Now, the future is al about brain uploads. The idea is that, one day, we will be able to change all our memories and thoughts into advanced software programs. Once the human brain can run on a computer, we will live forever. Sounds cooler than a flying car, right?

28、Wrong. If they ever exist, uploads will be hell (地獄). In recent decades, scientists and philosophers have started to take a serious interest in the idea of digital versions of brains. Massive research undertakings like the Human Brain Project aim to “simulate (模擬) the human brain in software. There

29、are plenty of medical applications for a brain simulation. Doctors could use it to model diseases or to test treatments. Neurologists could study it to understand how the human brain works. This isnt what people like Googles director of engineering Ray Kurzweil want, though. As he has said in a lot

30、of places, he is looking for upload tech that will make him immortal (不朽).

That means his entire universe is dependent on people or companies who run or manage servers, such as Amazon Web Services, to survive. Boris is going to be subjected to software updates that could change his though

32、ts. That isnt the only possible danger. Many other things could also happen if Boriss brain got stuck inside a robot. He could be reprogrammed as a street cleaner, forced to mop Liverpools gutters for weeks, or turned into assembly line arms for a factory that builds Tesla cars. After all that, is B

33、oris really himself anymore? There is a Boriseque piece of software that might “l(fā)ive” for a long time, but is it really a continuation of Boris the person? And what kind of rights does Boriss uploaded brain have? He might become the property (財(cái)產(chǎn)) of whoever owns the server that runs him. Becoming an

34、 upload wont allow Boris to live forever. Instead, Boris will die with his body, and a copy of Boriss brain will be stored on a piece of technology. And, of course, technology dies, so immortality isnt guaranteed.9. What does the author think if Ray Kurzweils expectation?A. He believes it is a worth

35、y cause.B. He is uninterested in discussing it.C. He thinks it is way too unrealistic.D. He is against it because of its high cost.10. What does the underlined phrase “be subjected to” in Paragraph 7 mean?A. Be affected by.B. Be replaced by.C. Be polished by.D. Be accompanied by.11. What will happen
