The Book of Life
So far, scientists have named about 1.6 million living species, and that’s a just a fraction of that probably exists on Earth. With so many plants, animals and other creatures coveting the planet, it can be tough to figure out what type of spider is moving up your leg or what kind of bird is flying by.
A soon -to-be - started Web site might help. An international team of researchers has announced the creation of Web - based Encyclopedia of life(EOL). The project aims to catalog every species on Earth in a single, easy-to -use reference guide.
To get the encyclopedia started, the creators will use information from scientific databases that already exist. And eventually, in special sections of the site, nonscientist with specialized knowledge will get to join in. Bird -watchers, for example, will be able to input which bird they’ve seen and where. The technology for this kind of tool has only become available.
As the EOL develops, you might find it useful for school projects. The site will feature special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems(生态系统) in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate, scientists will review much of the information added to it. People who visit the site will be able to choose to leave out pages that haven’t been reviewed.
Another convenient feature of the EOL is that you’ll be able to pick the level of detail you want to see to match your interest, age and knowledge. If you wanted to learn about bears for a science class report, for example, you could use the "novice" setting to get basic information about the animals. On the "expert" setting, on the other hand, you could get much more detailed information about the history, literature and exploration of bears.
It now takes years for scientist to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species. The creator of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed up that process.
Which of the following statement is NOT trite? ______
选项
A、The EOL will be beneficial to school kids with its development.
B、Scientists will review every piece of the information added to EOL.
C、Scientists have cataloged only a small part of the living species.
D、People with different interests and knowledge will in a way find EOL useful.
答案
B
解析
本题有一定难度,需要通读全文,寻找答案依据。答案依据主要在文章第四段倒数第二句:To make sure the encyclopedia is accurate,scientists will review much of the information added to it.显然,科学家是review much of the information,而不是every piece of the information,选项B项和原文句意不符,是答案。
