6 . Co- led by the Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the National Archaeological and Anthropological Memory Management (NAAM),a team of international partners has been working on a cultural landscape project to understand the long- term biodiversity change of Curaçao, and its relationship to human activities. Findings from the team show that the human occupation of Curaçao, an island in the southern Caribbean, dates as far back as 5735-5600 BC— up to 850 years earlier than previously thought.
Christina Giovas, who co- lead the study, says, “This new information helps push the initial exploration in this region back to a time when other islands to the north of Curaçao are also being settled. This suggests that the movement of people from the continental mainland into those more northern islands might have entangled (使卷入) with some of the movement of the people into Curaçao.” While more work is needed to determine if this is the case, Giovas notes that this indicates that the exploration of the islands off the western Venezuelan coast began earlier than previously known and provides a baseline for studying human- environment interactions in the area.
The team traveled to Curaçao in the summer of2022 for their first field season, bringing with them a group of SFU archaeology undergraduate students as part of a five- week international field school. Students helped survey, map and unearth project sites throughout the island, and then presented their findings to the local community. Throughout these activities, they worked closely with local volunteers and the project’s partner, the NAAM Foundation, an NGO that manages the island’s archaeological heritage through cooperation with the government and stakeholders (参与方).
“For archaeology, practical learning is really the best way to understand the field. To have students involved in these initiatives is, I think, where you get these general shifts in the culture of the discipline,” says Giovas. The project also works to increase local capacity for archaeology on the island, create opportunities for knowledge mobilization, and bring awareness to the depth of history of the area.

7 . Recently, three engineers at the University of Glasgow have designed and built an innovative AI-based drone (无人机) system that can assist in search efforts for hikers lost in the wilderness. They have published a paper describing their efforts on the preprint server.
Hiking in the Scottish Highlands has become a popular activity over the past several decades. The landscape offers a wide variety of remote locations that allow hikers to get back to nature. But such hiking can be disastrous— hikers can get lost or injured. Many find themselves in need of assistance every year. Because of that, emergency teams use both traditional and modern techniques to find those who are lost or have become disabled for some reasons.
In recent years, searchers have begun to use drones— their higher point allows for covering more land more quickly than searching on foot. It helps spot and locate things precisely that searchers aren’t able to see from the ground. In this new effort, the team wondered if adding AI to drone technology could improve the search for lost hikers.
To find out it, they created an AI model using data sets showing the paths taken by people who were lost and then found by search parties around the world. They also added relevant data, such as participants’ age, their reasons for hiking, and details about whether they were walking alone, or using some other form of transportation like horseback riding. They noted geographical information regarding both the path taken by those who were lost and where they were found, such as rivers, streams, roads or open ground. They then added data specific to Scotland’s geography. They ran the model millions of times, each representing a simulated search, until it narrowed down the most probable paths a lost hiker would take. The drone would then be instructed to search those paths first.
In testing their system against traditional approaches-- such as“the lawn mower” sweeping technique used to find actual hikers— the new approach found lost hikers more often. The researchers say they need more data to make their system more accurate and eventually result in a tool that could be used to save lives.
1. What do we know about the AI-based drone system?| A．It is a boost to search techniques. |
| B．It has replaced traditional search methods. |
| C．It has been employed in searches for decades. |
| D．It is excluded from searches in the Scottish Highlands. |
| A．Fast photo taking. | B．Accurate positioning. |
| C．Quick landing ability. | D．Precise image analysis. |
| A．How the AI drones were invented. |
| B．How relevant data affected hikers’ paths. |
| C．How hikers got geographical information. |
| D．How the AI model improved drone search strategies. |
| A．By perfecting the related data. |
| B．By equipping hikers with AI tools. |
| C．By abandoning the current system. |
| D．By increasing search practice frequency. |
8 . Jennifer Hodges is a third grade teacher. She says her students don’t just sit at desks every day. They do a lot of practical learning, such as raising coho salmon (银鲑) and then releasing them into a lake. It’s through a program called Salmon in the Classroom, established by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
Coho salmon lay eggs in the fall, when many schools start. The eggs remain in the classroom about six months before they are released into lakes. After that, they live for two to four years before they lay eggs and then die shortly afterwards. Though many of her students often see salmon in their backyard, few are familiar with them. Hodges says, “With this project, they have a whole different perspective because they know what it takes to actually go through the stages of a salmon.”
Learning about climate change is more crucial now than ever. In 2022, the Arctic had its sixth- warmest year on record. But these lessons are made concrete to them in raising salmon, which require cold water to survive.
During the months when the salmon are in the classroom, students like to sit by the tank to observe, and calculate when the salmon will turn from eggs to fry (鱼苗) based on the temperature of the tank. To them, it’s not practicing math problems; it’s predicting the future.
Since Hodges and her students live in such a rural area, there aren’t many field trips. But each year in May, she takes her students on the Salmon Field Trip, where they get to release the salmon they’ve raised in class, which is a pedagogical event. This trip is designed to teach students about the living of salmon and the importance of environmental conservation.
“The best part is getting to say goodbye. We release the salmon after watching them hatch from eggs and grow into fry while taking care of them,” says a boy, Fisher. “I can’t be too excited at that moment.”
1. What is the main purpose of Salmon in the Classroom?| A．To get salmon’s eggs for food. |
| B．To keep salmon in the backyard. |
| C．To teach the salmon life cycle in depth. |
| D．To increase the salmon population in lakes. |
| A．The frequency of feeding salmon in tanks. |

| C．The difficulty of predicting climate conditions. |
| D．The necessity of mild weather for salmon survival. |
| A．Technical. | B．Educational. | C．Commercial. | D．Recreational. |
| A．It’s bitter. | B．It’s boring. |

9 . During COVID-19, we have prepared a back-to-school guide for parents to check. Join us to prepare for your kid’s back-to-school life together!
| The COVID-19 is still spreading. If your kids go to school alone and do not go home on time after school, that’s probably because they play games or hang out with friends after school. Parents will certainly worry that their kids might be going to a dangerous place. So parents should ask their kids to get home at a regular time and never go to dangerous places. |
| The digital world is so interesting that kids can easily be attracted by games, videos, e-books and so on. Once it is out of control, the kids will easily lose themselves in it. Kids aged 8-18 spend a lot of time on screen nowadays, sleepy and fat. So parents should limit the screen time available to kids. |
| If your kid is often in a bad mood, stays in the room most of the time and has no interest in social activities, you must pay more attention to him or her. If these signs have appeared, they need the care then. So parents should keep an eye on their kid’s behavior, and give love and care in time. |
