1、Reading comprehension guidance case一Vietnam is speeding up its COVID-19 vaccination program. The countrys government hopes the effort will permit officials to loosen coronavirus restrictions in major cities by the end of the month.More than a million vaccine shots were given over the weekend in Hano

2、i. The capital city has been under a lockdown since July. About 5.5 million injections have been given in the country since vaccinations started in March, the Health Ministry said.Hanois mayor, Chu Ngoc Anh, said Sunday, We have to speed up the vaccination program so we can make a plan to reopen the

3、 city.More than half of Vietnams 98 million people are under lockdown.About 80 percent of the 5.7 million adults in Hanoi have received at least one shot. Officials aim to have 100 percent of the adult population at least partly vaccinated by the end of this week.However, the countrys overall vaccin

4、ation rate remains low at about 28 percent. Only 4 percent of the population has been fully vaccinated with both shots.Vietnam was able to keep its infection rate generally low until April of this year. At that time, it had only 35 reported deaths from the virus. And last year, it was praised for ke

5、eping the virus under control.But the deltavariantof the virus has infected over 600,000 people and killed more than 15,000 in just four months. Vaccine shortages forced Vietnam to slow down its vaccination program.Ho Chi Minh City, the nations business center, is the most hard-hit area. Over 95 per

6、cent of adults there have received their first COVID-19 vaccine. But many people who need to come in for the second shot are not able to get it because of low supplies.To help deal with the shortage, the countrys health officials have permitted combinations of different two-dose COVID-19 vaccines. E

7、xperts say this method is likely safe and effective, but researchers are still gathering data to be sure.1. a million vaccine shots were given over the weekend in Hanoi. 2. Vietnam was able to keep its infection rate low until April of this year. 3. But many people who need to come in for the second

8、 shot are not able to get it low supplies.二The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, called for a freeze on the use of artificial intelligence, or AI technology. That includes face-scanningsystems thattrackpeople in public places.She said countries should ban AI computer progra

9、ms that do not observe international human rights law.Applicationsthat should be banned include government social scoring systems that judge people based on their behavior. She also said some AI-based tools that organize people into groups based on their ethnicity or sex should not be permitted.AI-b

10、ased technologies can be a force for good, Bachelet said. But she added that they can also have harmful effects if human rights are not considered.Her comments came with the announcement of a U.N. report that examines how countries and businesses have used AI systems. It warns that AI systems affect

11、 peoples lives and livelihoods if measures to prevent discrimination and other harms are not in place.The human rights chief did not call for a complete ban of facial recognition technology. But she said governments should halt the scanning of peoples faces in real time until they can show the techn

12、ology isaccurateand meets privacy and data protectionstandards.Countries were not named in the report. The report warns of tools that try to find out a persons emotional and mental condition by looking at their facial expressions or body movements. It says such systems can give incorrect results and

13、 lack scientific support.1. That includes face-scanningsystems thattrackpeople in public places.She said countries should ban AI computer programs that do not international human rights law.2. But she added that they can also have harmful effects if human rights are not considered.Her comments the a

Some scientists s

15、ay there is very little time left. And, in some cases, it is already too late.Late last year, chemist Margit Schwikowski and a team of international scientists attempted to gather ice cores from the Grand Combin glacier.In 2018, they had visited the area and took a small test core. The core was in g

16、ood shape, said Schwikowski, head of a chemistry group at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, witzerland.The core hadwell-preservedatmospheric gases and chemical evidence of past climates.But, in the two years it took for the scientists to return with a full drilling set-up, some of the informa

17、tion that had been trapped in the ice had disappeared.The sudden change tells us exactly howsensitivethese glaciers are, said Schwikowski. We were just two years too late.The mission on Grand Combin shows the major difficulty scientists face today in collecting ice cores.Some glaciers are disappeari

18、ng faster than expected, leading scientists to do missions sooner, rethink where to target next, and plan about increased storage.The United Nations says almost all of the worlds glaciers are becoming smaller. In its most complete climate report to date, published in August, the UN said that human a

19、ctions are very likely the main driver of the near-universal retreat of glaciers globally since the 1990s.About 10 percent of the land area on earth is currently covered with glacial ice, says the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.If a glacier is melting, it means it also is not

20、 storing atmospheric gases from today for scientists to study in the future.Beyond gases, scientists say they may be able to use ice cores to study the DNA of ancient bacteria and viruses that could come back as the world warms. Frozen insects and plant material could also reveal histories of the wo

The Jaguar also carries a machine gun and is one of many technology tools used by the Israeli military. T

23、he army also has useddroneswith guided missiles in operations against Hamas forces.Unmanned ground vehicles are increasingly being used by other armies. Countries include the United States, Britain and Russia. They are designed for things like providing operational support, removing landmines and fi

24、ring weapons.The military contractorsaysthe new Rex MK II can complete many actions on its own, such as controlling movements and carrying outsurveillance. Actions such as firing a weapon require a human to operate the electronic controller.Critics have raised concerns that robotic weapons could dec

25、ide on their own, possibly mistakenly, to shoot at targets. The company said that while the new robotic vehicle was developed with that ability, the current version being offered does not have it.It is possible to make the weapon itself also autonomous, however, it is a decision of the user today, d

26、eveloper Rani Avni said. Thematurityof the system or the user is not there yet, he added.Yonni Gedj is an operational expert in IAIs robotics division. He said the robot is built to become smarter over time. With every mission, the device collects more data which it then learns from for futuremissio

27、ns, he told the AP.Bonnie Docherty is a researcher with the arms division of Human Rights Watch. She said such weapons can be dangerous because they cannot be trusted to recognize soldiers from civilians. The robots are also not equipped to make the right decisions about the harm attacks could cause
