23、ph(签名). It seemed strange to see her own name there. There was a likeness between her aunts autograph and her own, a hint of the same decisiveness and precision. If Jessie had been educated fifty years earlier, she might have written her name in just that manner.“Youre very like her in some ways, he
24、r father said, as she still stared at the autograph.“I should think you must almost have forgotten what Aunt Jessie was like, dear, she said.“How many years is it since you last saw her?“More than forty,” her father said. “We disagreed, We invariably disagreed. Jessie always prided herself on being
25、so modern. She read Darwin and things like that. Altogether beyond me, I admit.“And so it seems that she wants to see me.”Jessie straightened her shoulders and lifted her head, She was excited at the thought of meeting this mythical aunt whom she had so often heard about. Sometimes she had wondered
26、if the personality of this remarkable relative had not been afigment(虚构) of her fathers imagination.But this letter of hers that now lay on the breakfast table was admirable in character/There was something of intolerance expressed in its tone. It was just like what her father had told herMr. Deane
27、came out of his past memories with a sigh.“Yes, yes; she wants to see you, my dear, he said.“Ive heard she has set up a school and helped many youngsters.

31、 one definition of culture is the totality of traditions acquired in a community by social learning from other individuals, and many animal species have traditions. Can we then say that some animals are cultural beings too?One approach to study culture in animals is the so-called Method of Exclusion
32、(排除), in which scientists investigate behavioral variations across populations of one species. In a famous study, scientists learned that chimpanzee(黑猩猩) behaviors were socially passed on) as they were present at some sites but not at others, despite having same/ecological settings.For example, chim
33、panzees in Tai National Park in Ivory Coast are well-know for their nut-cracking skills. Chimpanzees in Gombe National Park in Tanzania, on the other hand, do not crack nuts, although nuts exist in their environment too.However, when applying the Method of Exclusion, one has to be very careful. Ther
34、e are other factors that could also explain the pattern of behavioral variation. For example, some of the chimpanzee techniques scientists evaluated occur in only one of the three subspecies. So its quite possible that these behaviors also have an innate component. This would mean that one chimpanze
35、e subspecies uses a new technique not out of cultural tradition, but because the behavior is fixed to specific genes. Another factor that has to be excluded is of course the envirotment Chimpanzees in Mahale do not fish algae(水藻), simply because algae does not exist there.But when we exclude all the
36、 variations that can be explained by genes or environment, we still find that animals do show cultural variations. Does that mean there is no real difference between them and us after all? Not exactly.There is a fundamental difference between human and animal culture.Only humans can build culturally
37、 on what generations before us have learned.This is called “cumulative culture. We dont have to keep reinventing the wheel. This is called the “ratchet(棘轮) effect”. Like a ratchet that can be turned forward but not back, people s cultural techniques evolve.It is likely that behaviors we see today in
38、 chimpanzee cultures could be invented over and over again by individual animals themselves. In contrast, a child born today would not be able to invent a computer without the knowledge of many past generations.28 .Why does the author mention the example of the chimpanzees in two parks in Paragraph
39、2?A. To prove that culture does exist in animals.B. To justify the uniqueness of the research method.C. To compare how chimpanzees behave in different parks.D. To stress the importance of environment in studying culture.29. What does the underlined word innate in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Advance
40、d.B. Inborn.C. Adaptive.D. Intelligent.30. What can we learn from the passage?A.Cumulative culture is what sets humans apart from animals.B. Culture in animals is as worthy to be valued as human culture.C. Animals dont have the ability to invent behaviors in a community.D. Theratchet effect decides
41、if humans can build on past experiences.DWhen Elinor Lobel was 16, a“smart insulin(胰岛素) pump was attached to her body. Powered by AI, it tracks her glucose levels and administers the right dose of insulin at the right time to keep her healthy. It is one of the new ways that data and AI can help impr
42、ove lives.Books that criticize the dark side of data are plentiful. They generally suggest there is much more to fear than fete in the algorithmic(算法的) age.But the intellectual tide may be turning. One of the most persuasive supporters of a more balanced view is Elinor Lobels mother, Orly, a law pro
43、fessor. In The Equality Machine she acknowledges AIs capacity to produce harmful results. But she shows how. in the right hands, it can also be used to fight inequality and discrimination.A principle of privacy rules is “minimisation: collect and keep as little information as possible, especially in
44、 areas such as race and Render. Ms Lobel flips the script, showing how in hiring, pay and the legal system, knowing such characteristics leads to fairer outcomes.Ms Lobels call to use more, not less, personal information challenges data-privacy orthodoxy(正统观念). But she insists that tracking differen
45、ce is key to detecting unfairness. She advocates a loosening of privacy rules to provide more transparency(透明) over algorithmic decisions.The problems with algorithmic formulae(公式) are tackled in depth in Escape from Model Land by Erica Thompson of the School of Economics.These statistical models ar
46、e the backbone of big data and AI. Yet a perfect model will always be beyond reach.“All models are wrong, runs a wise saying.“Some are useful.”Ms Thompson focuses on a challenge she calls the Hawkmoth Effect. In the better known Butterfly Effect, a serviceable model,in the prediction of climate chan
47、ge, becomes less reliable over time because of the complexity of what it is simulating(模拟), or because of inaccuracies in the original data. In the Hawkmoth Effect, by contrast, the model itself is flawed; it might fail to take full account of the interplay between humidity, wind and temperature.The
48、 author calls on data geeks to improve their solutions to real-world issues, not merely refine their formulae- in other words, to escape from model land.“We do not need to have the best possible answer, she writes,“only a reasonable one.Both these books exhibit a healthy realism about data, algorithms and their limitations. Both recognize
