33、speakers work for The Atlantic. D. It is held indoors in New York.BIn Weapons of Math Destruction, data scientist Cathy ONeil explains how big data exists everywhere in our lives, and that we hardly even notice it until it affects us directly. One application that has become particularly common is t

34、he use of algorithms (算法) to evaluate job performance.She tells the story of Sarah Wysocki, a teacher who, despite being widely respected by her students, their parents and her colleagues, was fired because she performed poorly according to an algorithm. When an algorithm rates you poorly, you are i

35、mmediately branded as an underperformer and there is rarely an - 9 -opportunity to appeal against those judgments. In many cases, methods are considered secrets and no details are shared. And data often seems convincing. As a matter of fact, the belief that school performance in America is declining

36、 is based on a data mistake. A Nation at Risk is the report that rang the initial alarm bells about declining SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) scores. Yet if they had taken a closer look, they would have noticed that the scores in each smaller group were increasing. The reason for the decline in the

37、 average score was that more disadvantaged kids were taking the test. However, due to the data mistake, teachers as a whole were judged to be failing.Wall Street is famous for its mathematicians who build complex models to predict market movements and develop business plans. These are really smart p

38、eople. Even so, it is not at all uncommon for their models to fail. The key difference between those models and many of the ones being used these days is that Wall Street traders lose money when their data models go wrong. However, as ONeil points out in her book, the effects of widely-used machine-

39、driven judgments are often not borne by those who design the algorithms, but by everyone else.As we increasingly rely on machines to make decisions, we need to ask these questions: What assumptions are there in your model? What hasnt been taken into account? How are we going to test the effectivenes

40、s of the conclusions? Clearly, something has gone terribly wrong. When machines replace humans to make a judgment, we should hold them to a high standard. We should know how the data was collected. And when numbers lie, we should stop listening to them.58. What does the example of Sarah Wysocki main

41、ly show?A. The drawback of big data. B. The popularity of big data.C. The new challenge teachers face. D. The misunderstanding about algorithms.59. Widely-used machine-driven judgments _.A. never make any economic loss- 10 -B. can lead to many innocent victimsC. are more complicated than Wall Street

42、s data modelsD. can go wrong more easily than Wall Streets data models60. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?A. Making decisions without machines. B. Making sure that the data are reliable.C. Making the algorithms more effective. D. Making the data and algorithms public.CKayaking is

43、an activity enjoyed by many people of all ages. It requires little or no experience and nearly anyone of any skill level can participate. Its most popular as a summertime sport, but it is also a great activity during the winter. Kayaking also seems relatively friendly to the environment; more so tha

44、n speed boating or water skiing. Because a kayak doesnt create large or frequent waves, require fuel, or let off polluted air, it is indeed a fairly safe activity for humans and wildlife alike.Kayaking on freshwater lakes and streams creates little turbulence and therefore does not disturb fish or o

45、ther aquatic life. Actually, the gentle paddling and movement of the kayak helps to bring seaweed to the surface, making for convenient snacking to the fish. However, there is a drawback to the all-you-can-buffet for your fishy friends. In addition to bringing food to the surface, kayaking also stir

46、s up litter thats been hiding beneath the waters. Some aquatic animals will mistake it for food. This could cause the animals to choke on the indigestible litter, leading to death. As hazardous as this sounds, it isnt very likely for such an event to take place. Most litter in lakes and streams is f

47、ound along the shoreline and settles in the sand and dirt, and isnt likely to drift away to the main body of water. . And because kayaks do not have a motor, fish have no risk of getting caught underneath the boat.One potential hazard that results from kayaking is human waste. This depends - 11 -sol

48、ely on where you plan to kayak, and if there are resources available (such as campsites) along the shoreline. When there are no facilities in sight, youre paddling in the middle of a lake, and nature calls, then often you are given no choice but to expel your waste in the middle of the water. While

49、human waste is considered biodegradable, it can be harmful when swallowed by fish. The only preventative measure is to avoid using the water as a restroom. Some public lakes and streams have taken steps to preserve the quality of the water by requiring permits for kayaking. This wont ease a human was
