19、 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 thesoftware on my very-much-alive parents.At first,I thought it would be just a fun project to see what wa

20、s technologically possible.Then their healthcondition added some urgency to the experiment.I was frightened that my parents might die since my father hadbeen diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimers disease,andthat with the distance between us,I might

21、never have the chance to say goodbye.The first step was an interview.My parents were asked questions by a technician for hoursabout everythingfrom their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die.Whether through illness-generatedconcerns or a willingness to humor their daughte

22、r,my parents put up zero resistance.The company then took theirresponses and started to create the voice assistants.A few months later,my virtual parents arrived via emailattachment.When I communicated with them through the app on my phone,my hands were shaking.I hadnt seen myactual,real parents for

23、 six months.They told me personal stories Id never heard.They gave me life advice and toldme things about their childhoods,as well as my own.It was mesmerizing.Personally,I have mixed feelings about my experiment.Im glad to have my virtual parents.Theyve enabledme to learn new things about my parent

24、s,and its comforting to think that those bots will be there even when myparents arent.On the other hand,I cant help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for meto properly appreciate the complex people they are.But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp thatand tostil

28、tting the sectors impact on global warming is bigh on the agenda.Althoughmany governments are regulating emissions from cars and trucks,air transportation is technologically rooted in oldpatterns.Facing the reality that the sector will keep emitting a lot,ICAO has established an international carbon

29、-tradingplanCarbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation,or CORSIA.This encourages wide useof offsets(抵消):aviation companies can buy emissions credits or invest in sectors that store carbon,such asforestry,to allow them to carry on as normal.CORSIA aims to keep CO2emissions at 2

30、019 levels through suchpurchases for emissions over that years baseline.ICAO predicts that increasing demand might reach 1.7 billiontons 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

31、flows of warmingpollution that would have occurred if the carbon-removal project hadnt existed,and comparing them against flowswith 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

32、 forest-protection and regrowthprojects.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 disappearcompletely from these areas in the absen

33、ce 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 foraccountants to claim a net reduction in emissions even though the atmosphere sees little or no benefit.Theseproblems

34、 are essentially unfixable.Evidence is mounting that offsetting as a strategy for reaching net zero is a deadend.In our view,this approach could prove dangerously narrow.Removing aviations impact on global warmingmeans upending the industry.The longer that reality is overlooked,the harder it will be

35、 to find effective solutions.28.What does aviation refer to in the passage?A.Aproject which needs revising.B.Aresource which needs trading.C.Amarket which needs expanding.D.An industry which needs reforming.29.Why should aviation companies buy emissions credits?A.To support the development of forest

36、ry.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

37、 to reducing emissions.D.Trees would totally disappear without the projects.31.What is the authors attitude towards the CORSIA?A.Disapproving.B.Confused.C.Favorable.D.Unconcerned.DElectric vehicles(EVs)are due for huge upgrades in driving range and charging times as new batterytechnologies are intro

38、duced.Lithium(Li)-ion(锂离子)batteries could be out of date in a few years as alternativeslike Li-sulfur,Li-air and Li-metal enter production.Meanwhile,quantum(量子)battery charging promises toreduce charge times from hours to seconds.Scientists at the University of Michigan have produced a stable Li-sul

39、fur battery using Kevlar,the materialused in body armor,to increase the amount it can be charged and discharged.Fibers in the Kevlar stop certain partsof lithium from growing between the electrodes(电极)and destroying the battery.Research group leader NicholasKotov called the design“nearly perfect”in

40、terms of capacity and efficiency.The battery can handle summer heatand 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-ionbattery

41、 electrodes,and there is simply more of it.Mainstream electric cars fitted with its battery could achievearound 900 miles on a single charge.Battery researchers say the Li-sulfur batterys energy density couldtheoretically be 10 times higher than the best Li-ion battery,so it will drive further,be sa

42、fer and moreenvironmentally friendly,for less money.In Japan,university researchers have teamed up with a telecommunications company to develop a Li-airbattery 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 a

43、re added to these breakthroughs inbattery materials and energy density.Li-metal,often talked about as solid-state batteries,are long-lasting andcapable of rapid charging,especially when they are paired with quantum technologies that connect all the batterycells simultaneously.And once investments in

44、 quantum charging and batteries are made,it could revolutionizetransport 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 batterys cycle life.C.It can boost EV range to 1000 miles.D.It will break down in extreme weather.33.Wh

48、Ourancestors likely did not suffer from a lack of companions.Why has loneliness become such a threat?How might itbe addressed?In the distant past,there were few complaints about loneliness.Indeed,every person in a community includingchildren was up to speed on every detail of the lives of everyone e

49、lse.Instead of suffering from loneliness,ourdistant ancestors were oppressed(被压迫)by a lack of privacy.36They facilitate distance.How didloneliness take over contemporary life?Typically,people move away from family and friends for work opportunities.Yet,cities often function asgatherings of relative

50、strangers rather than functional communities.The many people wandering around in a cityare irrelevant if we have no social connection with them.Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful sociallinks.37These might be the people we work among,those who frequent a coffee shop,or membersof a gy
