Have you ever thrown a camel? Camels are large and heavy animals so it would be hard to throw. But in the

French-speaking Democratic Republic ofthe Congo, “to throw a camel” is a way of saying “to make a spelling

mistake”.

In the past, a phrase like that was not accepted by the French government as an official French term. But

recently, the French Ministry of Culture worked on a new kind of dictionary that accepts the idea that many

people outside of France speak the language. The language has changed over time and is different in places like

Ivory Coast in West Africa or Quebec in Cana-da, compared to how it is in Paris

A new online dictionary, called the French speakers’ dictionary, includes new French words from around the

world. It was released on March 18—just in time for International French Speaker’s Day on March 20.

Supporters say the new Internet dictionary is more democratic than earlier French dictionaries that only

showed the way highly educated French people spoke. The new dictionary includes unofficial words like “pourriel”,

which means an unwanted email if you are in Canada. It is a word based on “courriel”, which just means an email.

French President Emmanuel Macron proposed the idea of the dictionary in 2018. It now contains about

600.000 terms, Roselyne Bachelot is the French Culture Minister. She said the dictionary is not just for France's 67

million citizens, but for the 300 million French speakers worldwide.

The aim, supporters say, is to recognize the way language changes. Words and expressions included in the

dictionary come from over 50 countries—even from the United States Some people in the southern U. S. state of

Louisiana speak French.

People can see the dictionary on a website or with an app. Users can also send in new words they think

should be included. Official dictionaries produced by the French Academy in Paris were first published hundreds of

years ago and are regularly updated.

A. He talks big. B. He is very strong.

C. He makes a joke. D. He misspells a word.

5. What is the purpose of the publication date of the new online dictionary?

A. French. B. An email. C. A holiday. D. Canada.

7. What can people do with the new dictionary?

A. Update it regularly. B. Recommend new words to it.

C. Change the meaning of its words. D. Regard it as an official dictionary.

C

Sonoma County is adding artificial intelligence to its wildfire fighting. The county has entered into an

agreement with the South Korean firm Alchera to equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software that

detects wildfire activity and then issues a warning to authorities.

The technology examines past and current images of terrain (地形;地势) and searches for certain changes,

such as flames burning in darkness, said Chris Godley, the county’s director of emergency management. But

emergency workers will first have to“teach”the system to distinguish between images that show fire smoke, and

others that might show clouds, fog etc. The software will use feedback from humans to improve its algorithm(算

法) and will eventually be able to detect fires on its own — or at least that’s what county officials hope.

“It’s kind of like learning how to read,”Godley said. “What letters can I put together to make up a word?” The

county activated the technology Wednesday and received 16 positive reports of smoke — all of which turned out

to be permitted burns, he said. Once a seasonal ban on controlled burns goes into effect in April or May, the

county plans to speed up the testing and feedback phase. The hope is that by November, the system will no longer

need to be taught and can start providing reliable intelligence. Godley said. “It’s going to take us a while to make

sure weget the bugs outand that we really can depend on it because ultimately this is a lifesaving mission.”

The technology is intended to help officials investigate potential fire starts earlier so they can get personnel

out to them more quickly and issue necessary warnings. Officials expect other places will adopt it if the technology

is successful, particularly because it plugs into the camera network that’s already in place statewide.

“We ultimately believe its potential could be realized in a year or two,” Godley said. “And it could really have

a dramatic impact here in California.”

8. What does the system first have to do before being put into work?

A. Equip its network of fire-spotting cameras with software.

B. Learn to tell between images of fire smoke and other pictures.

C. Use feedbacks to improve its ability to detect fire independently.

D. Examine images of the terrain and search for any possible changes.

9. What do local officials expect the technology to accomplish?

A. Be able to make positive reports of smoke.

B. Be able to control seasonal burns in the area.

C. Help them spot potential fire starts as soon as possible.

D. Learn how to distinguish pictures of flames from clouds.

10. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?

A. kill all the bugs. B. get rid of mistakes

C. provide reliable information D. speed up testing process

11. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?

A. AI is creating a dramatic impact in California.

B. AI is applied to monitor terrains in California.

C. A new tool to help detect wildfire in California.

D. A new way to put an end to wildfire in California.

From skateboarding to Fleetwood Mac, TikTok users got creative in a pandemic (流行病) year with new songs,

dances and shows in 60 seconds or less.

The social mediavideo app on Wednesday shared its list of top 100 videos, creators and trends in America

during 2020. “These videos brought joy and inspiration to millions of Americans in the rough year,” said Kudzi

Chikumbu, director of creator community at TikTok.

The platform has been widely associated with Generation Z (people born after 1996), millennials (people

born in the 1980s or 1990s) and influencers who have started careers based on the shared videos.

among the top songs used on the app.

For some TikTok creators, the pandemic itself became inspiration to create a connection with other users.

Comedian Caitlin Reilly used the app during quarantine (隔离) to make fun of those annoying coworkers for one of

the top liked videos. And singer Curtis Roach made an song for the endless days at home with his song Bored in

the House.

The second most popular video was an Idaho man named Nathan Apodaca who shot to fame after coolly

singing Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, while skateboarding on a highway.

But the most liked TikTok video was awarded to Bella Poarch with 45 million followers, who created a simple

but interesting video with a few seconds of well-timed head nods and eye rolls.

While the app might be designed for youth, Chikumbu said that the growth of TikTok this year has pushed it

more into mainstream culture. “You're seeing everyone from the teenager to the college students with their

parents and then their grandparents all making videos,” said Chikumbu. “And now TikTok

trulytranscendsgenerations, particularly in this year when people had a lot of time to dig in and not only watch,

but try.”
