At the end of 2019, I learned that HereAfter AI, whose goal is to let the living communicate with the dead, was looking for applicants of its new AI project. Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents.
At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye.
The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a technician for hours—about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment.
When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing.
Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those bots will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that—and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved.
24. Why did the author initially join the AI project
A. To preserve her parents’ voice. B. To test out the new technology.
C. To learn more about her parents’ life. D. To remove the worry about her parents’ health.
25. What can we learn about the author’s parents
A. They liked talking a lot. B. They died from the illnesses.
C. They provided data for the project. D. They opposed joining the project at first.
26. What does the underlined word “mesmerizing” mean in paragraph 4
A. Fascinating. B. Alarming. C. Inspiring. D. Entertaining.
27. What does the author realize at last
A. AI means never saying goodbye to our parents.
B. The real connection with our parents matters most.
C. The advances in AI technology have pros and cons.
D. AI allows us to learn more about our virtual parents.
C
Aviation is a big polluter. Cutting the sector’s impact on global warming is bigh on the agenda. Although many governments are regulating emissions from cars and trucks, air transportation is technologically rooted in old patterns.
Facing the reality that the sector will keep emitting a lot, ICAO has established an international carbon-trading plan—Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation, or CORSIA. This encourages wide use of offsets (抵消) : aviation companies can buy emissions credits or invest in sectors that store carbon, such as forestry, to allow them to carry on as normal. CORSIA aims to keep CO2 emissions at 2019 levels through such purchases for emissions over that year’s baseline. ICAO predicts that increasing demand might reach 1. 7 billion tons by 2035, potentially making aviation the largest offset market in the world.
Yet offsetting faces a fundamental challenge: the size of the offset requires estimating flows of warming pollution that would have occurred if the carbon-removal project hadn’t existed, and comparing them against flows with the project in place. The former — a baseline that is unobservable — is a hotbed for shady accounting.
The vast majority of offsets today and in the expected future come from forest-protection and regrowth projects. The track record of reliable accounting in these industries is poor, because they lack convincing baselines. Even with oversight, forest projects are often troubled by wild assumptions, for example that trees would disappear completely from these areas in the absence of those projects, even when there are other forest protections in place. Such assumptions drive up baselines and flood the market with huge volumes of offsets. They make it easier for accountants to claim a net reduction in emissions even though the atmosphere sees little or no benefit. These problems are essentially unfixable. Evidence is mounting that offsetting as a strategy for reaching net zero is a dead end.
In our view, this approach could prove dangerously narrow. Removing aviation’s impact on global warming means upending the industry. The longer that reality is overlooked, the harder it will be to find effective solutions.
28. What does aviation refer to in the passage
A. A project which needs revising. B. A resource which needs trading.
C. A market which needs expanding. D. An industry which needs reforming.
29. Why should aviation companies buy emissions credits
A. To support the development of forestry. B. To earn the largest profit in offset market.
C. To keep the levels of emission unchanged. D. To make up for emissions over the baseline.
30. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. Too many offsets are filling the market now.
B. Some projects may cheat to create more offsets.
C. Offsetting contributes a lot to reducing emissions.
D. Trees would totally disappear without the projects.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the CORSIA
A. Disapproving. B. Confused. C. Favorable. D. Unconcerned.
D
Electric vehicles (EVs) are due for huge upgrades in driving range and charging times as new battery technologies are introduced. Lithium (Li) -ion (锂离子) batteries could be out of date in a few years as alternatives like Li-sulfur, Li-air and Li-metal enter production. Meanwhile, quantum (量子) battery charging promises to reduce charge times from hours to seconds.
Scientists at the University of Michigan have produced a stable Li-sulfur battery using Kevlar, the material used in body armor, to increase the amount it can be charged and discharged. Fibers in the Kevlar stop certain parts of lithium from growing between the electrodes (电极) and destroying the battery. Research group leader Nicholas Kotov called the design “nearly perfect” in terms of capacity and efficiency. The battery can handle summer heat and winter cold extremes, and in real-world driving conditions, its lifespan should be 1, 000 cycles or ten years.
Sulfur is a great alternative for EVs because it is a tiny amount of the cost of metals like what is used in Li-ion battery electrodes, and there is simply more of it. Mainstream electric cars fitted with its battery could achieve around 900 miles on a single charge. Battery researchers say the Li-sulfur battery’s energy density could theoretically be 10 times higher than the best Li-ion battery, so it will drive further, be safer and more environmentally friendly, for less money.
In Japan, university researchers have teamed up with a telecommunications company to develop a Li-air battery with an energy density (500 Wh/kg) two to five times better than Li-ion.
Newer quantum technologies that will speed up vehicle charging times are added to these breakthroughs in battery materials and energy density. Li-metal, often talked about as solid-state batteries, are long-lasting and capable of rapid charging, especially when they are paired with quantum technologies that connect all the battery cells simultaneously. And once investments in quantum charging and batteries are made, it could revolutionize transport and the way we use energy worldwide.
32. What can we learn about Kevlar
A. It will speed up vehicle charging. B. It can lengthen battery’s cycle life.
C. It can boost EV range to 1000 miles. D. It will break down in extreme weather.
33. Why is Sulfur a fantastic option for EVs
A. It has been tested in Li-ion battery.
B. It is less expensive and more accessible.
C. Li-sulfur battery has been installed in mainstream EVs.
D. Li-sulfur battery features a higher energy density than Li-metal.
34. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Quantum technologies give rise to Li-metal.
B. Battery materials determine vehicle charging speed.
C. Li-metal is more efficient in charging than Li-sulfur.
D. More investments are needed in quantum technology.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Which Battery Suits Evs Best
B. What Is The Future Road Of EVs
C. Why Will Li-ion Batteries Be Replaced
D. How Will Reformed Lithium Batteries Influence Evs

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Loneliness is a bigger health threat than smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to newt research. Our ancestors likely did not suffer from a lack of companions. Why has loneliness become such a threat How might it be addressed
In the distant past, there were few complaints about loneliness. Indeed, every person in a community including children was up to speed on every detail of the lives of everyone else. Instead of suffering from loneliness, our distant ancestors were oppressed (被压迫) by a lack of privacy. 36 They facilitate distance. How did loneliness take over contemporary life
Typically, people move away from family and friends for work opportunities. Yet, cities often function as gatherings of relative strangers rather than functional communities. The many people wandering around in a city are irrelevant if we have no social connection with them. Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful social links. 37 These might be the people we work among, those who frequent a coffee shop, or members of a gym or sports club. Such associations are not made automatically. 38 In some cases, those who eagerly need social connection can fare poorly in cities.
39 According to the U. S. Surgeon General’s Report on Loneliness, people who spend more time online are lonelier. People who claim thousands of online “friends” are often chronically anxious, disconnected and depressed. Perhaps, they would gain better social bonus by being kind to people in real life.
Virtually, not everyone needs constant companionship. This is not merely a question of how extroverted a person is. 40 People with a strong sense of external purpose barely suffer from loneliness, whether they perfect their dance moves, get involved in political activism or train service dogs. In this vein, anyone who cultivates a love of nature may become a part of the natural world. That is an endless source of peace, happiness, and connection.
A. Their habits contributed to loneliness.
B. They require openness, initiative and effort.
C. Rather, it reflects how someone leads their life.
D. Outgoing people will live a busy life with social media.
E. Today, social media bring back the invasions of privacy.
F. Many turn to social media for companionship with mixed results.
G. However, associations are often formed through accidental networks.

“I can’t decide!” Carter told his mom.
“You have to decide.” Mom said. “I think you should go to Tyler’s party. He invited you first and you told him that you were going to come. Besides, it will be at the lake! You love to swim.”
“I know. But, Josh is having a go-kart party (卡丁车派对)! We are all meeting at his house and then going to the go-kart track! That would be amazing!”
“Carter, I told you what I think you should do. But you’re old enough to start making decisions on your own.”
Four days later, Carter was leaving the house for Josh’s party. He never did tell Josh or Tyler that he would not be attending their party. He meant to tell Tyler, but he felt so bad about it. Tyler was his best friend. They met in second grade and have been best friends ever since. But go-karts! How could he possibly turn down the chance to drive go-kart around a racetrack
As Carter rode his bike toward Josh’s house, he could feel the sun on his back. It was already a warm morning. A perfect day to be at the lake, he thought with a little regret. But there would be other days to swim at the lake. Today was go-kart day! He smiled and pedaled harder. He was a little early, so he expected to see a few parents dropping off their sons. As he rode up Josh’s driveway, he was surprised to see there were no cars parked in the driveway. He laid his bike down in the grass, walked to the door, and rang the doorbell.
The door opened. It was Josh’s teenage sister, Kayla.
“What do you want ” she asked.
“I’m here for the party. Josh’s birthday party.”
“No one’s here. They already left.”
“But it was supposed to start at ten! It’s not ten yet!” Carter said, throwing his hands out, palms up, in confusion.
“Dude! It started at nine. They left like an hour ago.” Kayla said as she swung the door shut.

Carter stood at the door, shocked and speechless. He missed the party! No go-karts! He must have mixed up the time of two parties! Aware of this awkward situation, Cater choked with tears, murmuring, “Mom was right, This is what l deserve.” He imagined Tyler and Josh wondering where he was, only to find he never showed up. Suddenly an idea dawned on Carter, “Perhaps l could still make it to Tyler’s party and explain everything to him!” The thought of this idea brought Carter excitement and motivation to take another ride. Sweat streamed down his sides as he pedaled towards the lake.
He finally made it to Tyler’s party with his T-shirt stuck to his back. The moment Tyler seen Carter, he walked up and asked, Oh my goodness! Why are you so sweaty ” Face blushing, Carter explained the whole story in an embarrassing tone and plucked courage to extend apology, “Sorry, Tyler, l didn’t mean to break the promise and put you at the second place. Can you please forgive me ” Casting an understanding look at Carter, Tyler smiled, “it happens, But, next time, let me know beforehand!” Swimming in the lake, Carter felt a refreshment not only for his body, but also for his mind -people should always be responsible for their own decisions.
