The tale f the ants wh scared the elephants t help the lins catch the zebras may sund like a children's fairy tale, but it is a true stry with an unhappy ending fr the big cats. Lins in Kenya are being pushed clser t endangered situatin because the acacia trees that they rely n fr cver while hunting zebras are dying. leaving them nwhere t hide while hunting.
Scientists were surprised that acacia trees were able t grw fast in the Nature Cnservancy in central Kenya, as there are s many leaf-eating mammals such as elephiants and giraffes that wuld nrmally eat up the tree leaves.
The acacias' secret weapn is a species f ant that lives in the tree. The trees are histrically prtected frm leaf-eating animals by this species. In return fr their hme, the ants defend the trees frm huge plant eaters, like elephants, giraffes, an arrangement eclgists call mutualism（共生）.
Abut 15 years ag, unnticed by envirnmentalists, a new species f ant slipped int the regin. It is thught that this invasive species, knwn as the big-headed ant, ften fund hidden in the wd used in cnstructin, was brught t the area by human activity. These ants set abut attacking and destrying the ants that used t defend the trees. The new ants d nt make any effrt t prtect the trees, leaving the acacia trees defenceless. This has set ff a chain f events, resulting in a shift in predatr-prey（捕食者—猎物）behaviur that may further endanger ppulatins f lins, researchers said. “The lins rely n the tree cver t hunt and hide befre attacking zebras. Less tree cver means lins are nt as successful at ambushing（伏击）their prey.”

Intel has created the wrld's largest neurmrphic（神经形态） cmputer, a device intended t imitate the peratin f the human brain. The firm hpes it will be able t run mre cmplicated AI mdels than is pssible n cnventinal cmputers.
A regular cmputer uses its prcessr t carry ut peratins and stres data in separate memry, but a neurmrphic device uses artificial neurns t bth stre and cmpute, just as ur brains d. This remves the need t transmit data back and frth between cmpnents, which limits the speed f current cmputers.
It als means “brain-like” cmputers can be mre energy efficient. Intel claims its new Hala Pint neurmrphic cmputer uses 1% f the energy a cnventinal machine takes when running ptimizatin（优化）prblems, which invlve finding the best slutin t a prblem given certain restrictins. Mike Davies at Intel says that despite its big pwer, Hala Pint is abut as big as a micrwave ven. Intel suggests that a machine like Hala Pint culd create Al mdels that learn cntinuusly, rather than needing t be trained t learn each new task, as is the case with current mdels.
But James Knight at the University f Sussex, UK says current mdels like ChatGPT are trained using graphics cards perating in parallel（平行）, meaning that many chips can be put t wrk n training the same mdel. But as neurmrphic cmputers wrk with a single input and can't be trained in parallel, it is likely t take decades t train smething like ChatGPT n such hardware, nt t mentin make it learn cntinually, he says.
While tday's neurmrphic hardware still needs t be imprved, says Davies, it culd ne day take pre-trained mdels and let them learn new tasks. “This is the kind f cntinual learning prblem that we believe large-scale neurmrphic systems like Hala Pint can slve in the future,” he says.
32. What d we knw abut the neurmrphic cmputer?
A. It perates like the human brain.
B. It stres and cmputes separately.
C. It needs t transmit data amng cmpnents.
D. It is mre cmplicated than the current cmputer.
33. What des Paragraph 3 fcus n cncerning Hala Pint?
A. Its cst. B. Its applicatin. C. Its appearance. D. Its advantage.
34. What can be inferred frm Knight's wrds?
A. ChatGPT nly wrks with a single input
B. Neurmrphic cmputers can learn cntinuusly
C. Neurmrphic cmputers are unfit fr training ChatGPT
D. Graphics cards f neurmrphic cmputers perate in parallel
35. What is Davies' attitude t neurmrphic cmputer?
A. Unclear. B. Dubtful. C. Cncerned. D. Optimistic.
