any.How
much
do
we

says
100
grams.I
think
we
have
some
butter
in
the
fridge.

don’t
have
much

enough.

B
(2020·北京)
Certain
forms
of
AI
are
indeed
becoming
ubiquitous.For
example,algorithms(算法)carry
out
huge
volumes
of
trading
on
our
financial
markets,self-driving
cars
are
appearing
on
city
streets,and
our
smartphones
are
translating
from
one
language
into
another.These
systems
are
sometimes
faster
and
more
perceptive
than
we
humans
are.But
so
far
that
is
only
true
for
the
specific
tasks
for
which
the
systems
have
been
designed.That
is
something
that
some
A
I
developers
are
now
eager
to
change.
Some
of
today’s
AI
pioneers
want
to
move
on
from
today’s
world
of
“weak”
or
“narrow”
AI,to
create
“strong”
or
“full”
AI,or
what
is
often
called
artificial
general
intelligence(A
GI).In
some
respects,today’s
powerful
computing
machines
already
make
our
brains
look
weak.A
GI
could,its
advocates
say,work
for
us
around
the
clock,and
drawing
on
all
available
data,could
suggest
solutions
to
many
problems.DM,a
company
focused
on
the
development
of
A
GI,has
an
ambition
to
“solve
intelligence”.“If
we’re
successful,”
their
mission
statement
reads,“we
believe
this
will
be
one
of
the
most
important
and
widely
beneficial
scientific
advances
ever
made.”
Since
the
early
days
of
AI,imagination
has
outpaced
what
is
possible
or
even
probable.In
1965,an
imaginative
mathematician
called
Irving
Good
predicted
the
eventual
creation
of
an
“ultra-intelligent
machine...that
can
far
surpass
all
the
intellectual(智力的)activities
of
any
man,however
clever.”Good
went
on
to
suggest
that
“the
first
ultra-intelligent
machine”could
be
“the
last
invention
that
man
need
ever
make.”
Fears
about
the
appearance
of
bad,powerful,man-made
intelligent
machines
have
been
reinforced(强化)by
many
works
of
fiction—Mary
Shelley’s
Frankenstein
and
the
Terminator
film
series,for
example.But
if
AI
does
eventually
prove
to
be
our
downfall,it
is
unlikely
to
be
at
the
hands
of
human-shaped
forms
like
these,with
recognisably
human
motivations
such
as
aggression(敌对行为).Instead,I
agree
with
Oxford
University
philosopher
Nick
Bostrom,who
believes
that
the
heaviest
risks
from
A
GI
do
not
come
from
a
decision
to
turn
against
mankind
but
rather
from
a
dogged
pursuit
of
set
objectives
at
the
expense
of
everything
else.
The
promise
and
danger
of
true
A
GI
are
great.But
all
of
today’s
excited
discussion
about
these
possibilities
presupposes
the
fact
that
we
will
be
able
to
build
these
systems.And,having
spoken
to
many
of
the
world’s
foremost
AI
researchers,I
believe
there
is
good
reason
to
doubt
that
we
will
see
A
GI
any
time
soon,if
ever.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了AI开发者们正想办法研发更强的人工智能。
24.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“ubiquitous”inParagraphIprobablymean?
A.Enormousinquantity.
B.Changeabledaily.
C.Stableinquality.
D.Presenteverywhere.
答案D
解析词义猜测题。通过第一段第二句的forexample可判断,一、二两句之间为总分关系,可通过第二句所举的三个例子来判断ubiquitous的意思。第二句三个例子分别提到了financial——金融方面,cars——交通方面和language——语言方面,可知,第一句应该在强调人工智能的影响范围广,已在生活中随处可见,而非A项所说的数量大、B项所说的每天变化或C项所说的质量稳定。故正确答案是D项。
25.What
could
A
GI
do
for
us,according
to
its
supporters?
A.Help
to
tackle
problems.
B.Make
brains
more
active.
C.Benefit
ambitious
people.
D.Set
up
powerful
databases.
答案A
解析细节题。根据题干信息可定位到第二段第三句(题干中的supporters和原文的advocates对应)。细节题遵循就近原则,优先在本句找答案,本句中信息suggestsolutionstomanyproblems对应A项所说的helptackleproblems(帮助解决问题)。故正确答案是A项。
26.As
for
Irving
Good’s
opinion
on
ultra-intelligent
machines,the
author
is
.?
A.supportive
B.disapproving
C.fearful
D.uncertain
答案B
解析观点态度题。在第四段中关键词Iagreewith...可进行作者态度的推断。根据句意可知,作者和牛津大学哲学家NickBostrom想法一致,认为AGI的主要风险在于不顾一切代价去追求超级智能机而不是AGI违反人类的决定。结合题干中IrvingGood在第三段中的观点“超智能机是人类需要制造的最后一项发明,远比任何人聪明”,所以作者不支持IrvingGood的观点,即不赞同(disapproving),故正确答案是B项。
27.What
can
be
inferred
about
A
GI
from
the
passage?
A.It
may
be
only
a
dream.
B.It
will
come
into
being
soon.
C.It
will
be
controlled
by
humans.
D.It
may
be
more
dangerous
than
ever.
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句所含信息“IbelievethereisgoodreasontodoubtthatwewillseeAGIanytimesoon,ifever.”可知,作者认为有充足的理由怀疑我们在将来也很难看到AGI的诞生,因此可推断AGI可能只是一个梦想,并不一定能够实现。故正确答案是A项。
C
Step
into
Moving
to
Mars,an
exhibition
of
Mars
missions
and
colony
design
at
London’s
Design
Museum,and
immediately
you
have
good
reasons
not
to
move
there.
Texts
announce
that
Mars
wasn’t
made
for
you;
that
there
is
no
life
and
precious
little
water;that,dressed
in
a
spacesuit,you
will
never
touch,taste
or
smell
the
planet
you
now
call
“home”.As
Lisa
Grossman
wrote
for
NewScientist
a
couple
of
years
ago,“What’s
different
about
Mars
is
that
there
is
nothing
to
do
there
except
try
not
to
die.”
It
is
an
odd
beginning
for
such
a
celebratory
exhibition,but
it
provides
a
valuable,dark
background
against
which
the
rest
of
the
show
can
sparkle
(闪耀)—a
show
that
is,as
its
chief
manager
Justin
remarks,“not
about
Mars;
this
is
an
exhibition
about
people.”
Moving
along,there
is
a
quick
yet
clear
flash
through
what
the
science-fiction
writer
Robinson
calls
“the
history
of
Mars
in
the
human
mind”.A
Babylonian
clay
tablet
and
a
Greek
vase
speak
to
early
ideas
about
the
planet.A
poster
for
the
original
TotalRecall
film
reminds
us
of
Mars’s
psychological
threat.
The
main
part
of
the
show
is
our
current
plans
for
the
Red
Planet.There
are
real
spacesuits
and
models
of
3D-printed
Martian
settlements
and
suitable
clothing
and
furniture.Mission
architectures
and
engineering
sketches
line
the
walls.Real
hammers
meant
for
the
International
Space
Station
are
wall-mounted
beside
a

解析推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,作者在最后一段想告诉我们一个观点。故选B项。
D
Japan’s
biggest
airline
is
betting
that
the
future
of
travel
isn’t
traveling
at
all.For
the
last
month,a
married
couple
has
been
interacting
with
a
robot—called
an
Avatar—that’s
controlled
by
their
daughter
hundreds
of
miles
away.Made
by
ANA
Holdings
Inc,it
looks
like
a
cleaner
with
an
iPad
attached,but
the
screen
displays
the
daughter’s
face
as
they
chat,and
its
wheels
let
her
move
slowly
about
the
house
as
though
she’s
really
there.
“Virtual
travel”is
nothing
new,of
course.Storytellers,travel
writers
and
artists
have
stimulating(刺激)the
sense
of
armchair
tourists
for
centuries.It’s
only
in
recent
decades
that
frequent,safe
travel
has
become
available
to
the
non-wealthy.
Yet
even
as
the
world’s
middle
classes
climb
out
of
the
armchair
and
into
economy-class
seats,there
are
signs
of
a
post-travel
society
coming
into
being.Concerns
about
sustainability(可持续发展)are
having
an
negative
influence
on
carbon-intensive
airlines.And
the
aging
of
wealthy
societies
is
both
slowing
down
physical
travel
and
creating
demand
for
various
ways
to
experience
the
world.For
the
travel
industry,virtual
(虚拟的)reality
offers
an
attractive
response
to
these
trend.
Of
course,far-out
technologies
encourage
far-out
claims.ANA
doesn’t
plan
to
start
selling
Avatars
until
next
year.Profits,too,will
probably
be
difficult
to
achieve:according
to
one
investigation,the
global
market
for
this
kind
of
technology
will
be
worth
only
about
$300
million
by
2023.By
contrast,ANA’s
traditional
travel
business
brought
in
more
than
$19
billion
last
year.
But
if
the
business
case
for
virtual
vacations
is
still
weak,the
market
for
technologies
that
bridge
physical
distances
between
families
and
coworkers
seems
likely
to
only
expand.ANA’s
robots
may
not
replace
its
airplanes
any
time
soon,but
they’ll
almost
certainly
be
a
part
of
travel’s
high-tech
future.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了日本最大的航空公司目前正在致力于开发虚拟旅行技术,有迹象表明,一个后旅游时代正在形成,这是对富裕社会的老龄化趋势的一个有吸引力的回应。但是虚拟旅行的全球市场还很难预测,作者对此持乐观态度。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When
it
comes
to
green
buildings,we
tend
to
think
of
new
ones—the
kind
of
high-tech,solar-paneled
masterpieces
that
make
the
covers
of
architecture
magazines. 36 They
are
the
witness
of
the
country.And
it
would
be
incredibly
wasteful
to
tear
them
all
down
and
replace
them
with
greener
versions. 37 What’s
more,it
would
take
an
average
of
65
years
for
the
reduced
carbon
emissions
from
a
new
energy-efficient
home
to
make
up
for
the
resources
lost
by
destroying
an
old
one. 38 ?
But
there
is
an
unavoidable
fact
that
nearly
half
of
U.S.carbon
emissions
come
from
heating,cooling
and
powering
those
aged
houses.“You
can’t
deal
with
the
climate
change
without
dealing
with
existing
buildings,”
says
Richard
Moe,the
president
of
the
National
Trust.With
some
exceptions,the
oldest
homes
tend
to
be
the
least
energy-efficient. 39 Houses
built
before
1939
use
about
50%
more
energy
per
square
foot
than
those
built
after
2000.?
40 Historic
ones
like
Lincoln’s
Cottage
can
be
transformed
through
efficiency
upgrades.They
can
not
only
help
protect
property
owners
from
rising
power
costs;but
also
can
save
the
earth.?
A.But
how
to
change
their
conditions?
B.But
the
U.S.has
more
than
100
million
existing
homes.
C.Some
effective
measures
should
be
taken
by
the
government.
D.So
some
people
say
that
the
greenest
way
is
to
maintain
old
ones.
E.Fortunately,some
relatively
simple
changes
can
green
older
homes.
F.Vast
energy
and
resources
went
into
the
construction
of
those
houses.
G.The
main
cause
is
the
cracks
that
expand
over
time
and

答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。美国现有超过1亿套住房,大量的能源和资源被用于建造这些房屋,而一个节能的新房子所减少的碳排放平均需要65年才能弥补因拆除旧房子而损失的资源。所以有些人说最环保的方法是维护旧的。文章分析了这些老房子不节能的原因以及解决方案。
36.B 根据上文“Whenitcomestogreenbuildings,wetendtothinkofnewones—thekindofhigh-tech,solar-paneledmasterpiecesthatmakethecoversofarchitecturemagazines.”可知,本句与上文发生转折,表明与那些高科技的新建筑不同的是,美国目前有超过1亿套住房。后文中“they”可对应到B选项中“100millionexistinghomes”。故B选项“但美国现有超过1亿套住房”符合上下文语境。故选B项。
37.F 根据上文“Anditwouldbeincrediblywastefultotearthemalldownandreplacethemwithgreenerversions.”可知,如果把它们都拆了,换成更环保的,那就太浪费了。由此可知,本句应当说明这些房屋所投入的大量能源和资源,不应当直接拆除换成更环保的。故F选项“大量的能源和资源被用于建造这些房屋”符合上下文语境。故选F项。
38.D 根据上文“What’smore,itwouldtakeanaverageof65yearsforthereducedcarbonemissionsfromanewenergy-efficienthometomakeupfortheresourceslostbydestroyinganoldone.”可知,有些人会认为最环保的方法就是维护这些旧的房子。故D选项“所以有些人说最环保的方法是维护旧的”符合上下文语境。故选D项。
39.G 根据上文“Withsomeexceptions,theoldesthomestendtobetheleastenergy-efficient.”可知除了一些例外,最古老的房子往往是最不节能的。由此可知,本句应当承接上文说明老房子不节能的原因。故G选项“主要原因是随着时间的推移,裂缝会扩大,让外面的空气进来”符合上下文语境。故选G项。
40.E 根据后文“HistoriconeslikeLincoln’sCottagecanbetransformedthroughefficiencyupgrades.”可知像林肯小屋这样的历史建筑可以通过提高能效来改造。由此可知,本段是在说明对这些旧房子的解决方案,即通过一些改变来让这些老房子变得更加环保节能,故E选项“幸运的是,一些相对简单的改变就可以绿化老房子”符合上下文语境。故选E项。

TrackersonIce
Just
because
a
scientist
puts
a
GPS
tracking
collar
on
a
wild
polar
bear
does
not
mean
the
animal
will
obligingly
keep
it
on. 41 ,these
huge
collars
are
purposefully
loose.If
one
becomes
annoying,a
bear
can
42
it.But
scientists
have
now
found
a
way
to
use
43
from
the
discarded(丢弃的)devices.?
“These
dropped
collars 44
would
have
been
considered
garbage
data,”
says
Natasha
Klappstein,a
polar
bear
researcher
at
the
University
of
Alberta.She
and
her
colleagues
instead
used
45
from
such
collars,left
on
sea
ice
in
Canada’s
Hudson
Bay,to
track
the
ice
itself.For
their
study,published
in
June
in
TheCryosphere,the
researchers
identified
twenty
collars
that
transmitted
movement
data
in
line
with
ice
drift
rather
than
polar
bear
46
between
2005
and
2015.The
resulting
records
of
how
melting
ice
typically
drifts
in
Hudson
Bay
are
unique.There
are
no
easily
47
on-the-ground
sensors,and
satellite
observations
often
cannot
accurately
capture
the
motion
of
small
ice
sheets.?
The
team 48
the
discarded
collars’
movements
with
widely
used
ice-drift
modeling
data
from
the
U.S.National
Snow
and
Ice
Data
Center(NSIDC).Collar
data
indicated
that
the
NSIDC
model
underestimates
the
speed
at
which
ice
moves
around
in
Hudson
Bay-as
well
as
the
overall
49
of
drift.Over
the
course
of
several
months,the
model
could
drift
away
from
an
ice
sheet’s
location
by
a
few
hundred
kilometers,the
researchers
say.?
This
means
the
bears
may
be
working
harder,when
moving
against
the
direction
of
the
ice,than
scientists
had 50 :“Since
we’re
underestimating
the
speed
of
drift,we’re
likely
underestimating
the
energetic
effort
of
polar
bears,”says
Natasha
Klappstein.The
research
reveals
51
insight
into
how
highly
mobile
ice
moves.As
melting
increases
in
the
coming
years,such
ice
will
likely
become
more
52
farther
north,in
the
central
Artic.Scientists
had
known
NSIDC
data
could
underestimate
drift
speeds,but
“any
time
we
can
find
a
data
53 ,it
is
a
good
thing.”?
Plus,such
data
could
improve
predictions
about
how

Walt
Meier,a
senior
NSIDC
research
scientist,who

in
the

Dear
Johnson,
Knowing
that
you
are
interested
in
the
activity
named
“Rubbish
Classification”,now
I
am
writing
to
tell
you
something
about
it.
As
we
know,rubbish
is
an
unavoidable
part
of
our
life.Large
amounts
of
rubbish,such
as
leftover
food,waste
paper,used
plastic
bottles
and
batteries
are
produced
every
day.However,dealing
with
rubbish
has
always
been
a
big
headache
and
rubbish
is
becoming
a
major
environmental
problem
in
our
city.It
is
time
that
rubbish
classification
should
be
carried
out.Because,by
classifying
rubbish,we
can
recycle
useful
materials,save
resources
and
reduce
environmental
pollution.Moreover,rubbish
classification
is
a
scientific
and
effective
way
to
manage
rubbish.
What
about
the
good
measures
of
dealing
with
rubbish
in
your
city?Could
you
tell
me
more
information?
Looking
forward
to
your
earlier
reply.
Yours,
Li

Family
problems
are
a
universal
phenomenon,and
they
can
always
cause
people
pain,especially
around
family-centered
times,like
holidays.However,there
are
ways
to
solve
the
problems.Life
is
too
short
to
waste.How
a
person
approaches
the
family
members
and
what
he
says
can
make
a
big
difference.
If
the
family
members
are
arguing,waiting
until
everyone
calms
down
can
help
deal
with
the
argument.A
person
shouldn’t
discuss
the
family
problem
when
he
is
still
feeling
upset
or
emotional.If
he
waits
even
a
single
night,the
intensity(强度)
of
the
emotion
is
likely
to
calm
down
somewhat,even
if
he
is
still
unhappy.So
it
is
advised
that
he
should
wait
rather
than
react
emotionally.If
he
takes
a
step
back
and
gives
himself
some
time
to
think
before
dealing
with
the
problem,he
will
deal
with
it
wisely.
There
are
lots
of
people
who
want
to
send
off
a
text
or
an
email
and
wish
they
could
take
things
back.Actually,the
tone(语气)
can
be
easily
misunderstood
by
electronic
communication.The
man
who
sends
off
a
text
message
or
email
might
not
think
he
sounds
angry
to
the
person
receiving
it.Instead
of
sending
off
a
text,pick
up
the
telephone,or
better
yet,arrange
in-person
communication.Electronic
communication
means
people
lose
the
true
meaning
of
body
language,which
can
convey
feelings
and
reduce
the
sting(刺痛)
of
a
painful
conversation.
As
the
saying
goes,“Blood
is
thicker
than
water.”
People
can
choose
their
friends,but
not
their
family.You
might
be
able
to
cut
family
members
out,but
it
could
cause
you
more
pain
down
the
road.Understanding
that
family
members
have
faults,but
they
can
still
love
their
families,is
the
first
step
towards
dealing
with
problems.Accept
your
own
faults,too.

Certain
forms
of
AI
are
indeed
becoming
ubiquitous.For
example,algorithms(算法)carry
out
huge
volumes
of
trading
on
our
financial
markets,self-driving
cars
are
appearing
on
city
streets,and
our
smartphones
are
translating
from
one
language
into
another.These
systems
are
sometimes
faster
and
more
perceptive
than
we
humans
are.But
so
far
that
is
only
true
for
the
specific
tasks
for
which
the
systems
have
been
designed.That
is
something
that
some
A
I
developers
are
now
eager
to
change.
Some
of
today’s
AI
pioneers
want
to
move
on
from
today’s
world
of
“weak”
or
“narrow”
AI,to
create
“strong”
or
“full”
AI,or
what
is
often
called
artificial
general
intelligence(A
GI).In
some
respects,today’s
powerful
computing
machines
already
make
our
brains
look
weak.A
GI
could,its
advocates
say,work
for
us
around
the
clock,and
drawing
on
all
available
data,could
suggest
solutions
to
many
problems.DM,a
company
focused
on
the
development
of
A
GI,has
an
ambition
to
“solve
intelligence”.“If
we’re
successful,”
their
mission
statement
reads,“we
believe
this
will
be
one
of
the
most
important
and
widely
beneficial
scientific
advances
ever
made.”
Since
the
early
days
of
AI,imagination
has
outpaced
what
is
possible
or
even
probable.In
1965,an
imaginative
mathematician
called
Irving
Good
predicted
the
eventual
creation
of
an
“ultra-intelligent
machine...that
can
far
surpass
all
the
intellectual(智力的)activities
of
any
man,however
clever.”Good
went
on
to
suggest
that
“the
first
ultra-intelligent
machine”could
be
“the
last
invention
that
man
need
ever
make.”
Fears
about
the
appearance
of
bad,powerful,man-made
intelligent
machines
have
been
reinforced(强化)by
many
works
of
fiction—Mary
Shelley’s
Frankenstein
and
the
Terminator
film
series,for
example.But
if
AI
does
eventually
prove
to
be
our
downfall,it
is
unlikely
to
be
at
the
hands
of
human-shaped
forms
like
these,with
recognisably
human
motivations
such
as
aggression(敌对行为).Instead,I
agree
with
Oxford
University
philosopher
Nick
Bostrom,who
believes
that
the
heaviest
risks
from
A
GI
do
not
come
from
a
decision
to
turn
against
mankind
but
rather
from
a
dogged
pursuit
of
set
objectives
at
the
expense
of
everything
else.
The
promise
and
danger
of
true
A
GI
are
great.But
all
of
today’s
excited
discussion
about
these
possibilities
presupposes
the
fact
that
we
will
be
able
to
build
these
systems.And,having
spoken
to
many
of
the
world’s
foremost
AI
researchers,I
believe
there
is
good
reason
to
doubt
that
we
will
see
A
GI
any
time
soon,if
ever.

C
Step
into
Moving
to
Mars,an
exhibition
of
Mars
missions
and
colony
design
at
London’s
Design
Museum,and
immediately
you
have
good
reasons
not
to
move
there.
Texts
announce
that
Mars
wasn’t
made
for
you;
that
there
is
no
life
and
precious
little
water;that,dressed
in
a
spacesuit,you
will
never
touch,taste
or
smell
the
planet
you
now
call
“home”.As
Lisa
Grossman
wrote
for
NewScientist
a
couple
of
years
ago,“What’s
different
about
Mars
is
that
there
is
nothing
to
do
there
except
try
not
to
die.”
It
is
an
odd
beginning
for
such
a
celebratory
exhibition,but
it
provides
a
valuable,dark
background
against
which
the
rest
of
the
show
can
sparkle
(闪耀)—a
show
that
is,as
its
chief
manager
Justin
remarks,“not
about
Mars;
this
is
an
exhibition
about
people.”
Moving
along,there
is
a
quick
yet
clear
flash
through
what
the
science-fiction
writer
Robinson
calls
“the
history
of
Mars
in
the
human
mind”.A
Babylonian
clay
tablet
and
a
Greek
vase
speak
to
early
ideas
about
the
planet.A
poster
for
the
original
TotalRecall
film
reminds
us
of
Mars’s
psychological
threat.
The
main
part
of
the
show
is
our
current
plans
for
the
Red
Planet.There
are
real
spacesuits
and
models
of
3D-printed
Martian
settlements
and
suitable
clothing
and
furniture.Mission
architectures
and
engineering
sketches
line
the
walls.Real
hammers
meant
for
the
International
Space
Station
are
wall-mounted
beside
a
low-gravity
table
that
has
yet
to
leave,and
may
indeed
never
leave,Earth.
This,of
course,is
the
great
strength
of
approaching
science
through
design:reality
and
assumption
can
be
given
equal
visual
weight,drawing
us
into
an
informed
conversation
about
what
it
is
that
we
actually
want
from
a
future
on
Mars.

D
Japan’s
biggest
airline
is
betting
that
the
future
of
travel
isn’t
traveling
at
all.For
the
last
month,a
married
couple
has
been
interacting
with
a
robot—called
an
Avatar—that’s
controlled
by
their
daughter
hundreds
of
miles
away.Made
by
ANA
Holdings
Inc,it
looks
like
a
cleaner
with
an
iPad
attached,but
the
screen
displays
the
daughter’s
face
as
they
chat,and
its
wheels
let
her
move
slowly
about
the
house
as
though
she’s
really
there.
“Virtual
travel”is
nothing
new,of
course.Storytellers,travel
writers
and
artists
have
stimulating(刺激)the
sense
of
armchair
tourists
for
centuries.It’s
only
in
recent
decades
that
frequent,safe
travel
has
become
available
to
the
non-wealthy.
Yet
even
as
the
world’s
middle
classes
climb
out
of
the
armchair
and
into
economy-class
seats,there
are
signs
of
a
post-travel
society
coming
into
being.Concerns
about
sustainability(可持续发展)are
having
an
negative
influence
on
carbon-intensive
airlines.And
the
aging
of
wealthy
societies
is
both
slowing
down
physical
travel
and
creating
demand
for
various
ways
to
experience
the
world.For
the
travel
industry,virtual
(虚拟的)reality
offers
an
attractive
response
to
these
trend.
Of
course,far-out
technologies
encourage
far-out
claims.ANA
doesn’t
plan
to
start
selling
Avatars
until
next
year.Profits,too,will
probably
be
difficult
to
achieve:according
to
one
investigation,the
global
market
for
this
kind
of
technology
will
be
worth
only
about
$300
million
by
2023.By
contrast,ANA’s
traditional
travel
business
brought
in
more
than
$19
billion
last
year.
But
if
the
business
case
for
virtual
vacations
is
still
weak,the
market
for
technologies
that
bridge
physical
distances
between
families
and
coworkers
seems
likely
to
only
expand.ANA’s
robots
may
not
replace
its
airplanes
any
time
soon,but
they’ll
almost
certainly
be
a
part
of
travel’s
high-tech
future.

When
it
comes
to
green
buildings,we
tend
to
think
of
new
ones—the
kind
of
high-tech,solar-paneled
masterpieces
that
make
the
covers
of
architecture
magazines. 36 They
are
the
witness
of
the
country.And
it
would
be
incredibly
wasteful
to
tear
them
all
down
and
replace
them
with
greener
versions. 37 What’s
more,it
would
take
an
average
of
65
years
for
the
reduced
carbon
emissions
from
a
new
energy-efficient
home
to
make
up
for
the
resources
lost
by
destroying
an
old
one. 38 ?
But
there
is
an
unavoidable
fact
that
nearly
half
of
U.S.carbon
emissions
come
from
heating,cooling
and
powering
those
aged
houses.“You
can’t
deal
with
the
climate
change
without
dealing
with
existing
buildings,”
says
Richard
Moe,the
president
of
the
National
Trust.With
some
exceptions,the
oldest
homes
tend
to
be
the
least
energy-efficient. 39 Houses
built
before
1939
use
about
50%
more
energy
per
square
foot
than
those
built
after
2000.?
40 Historic
ones
like
Lincoln’s
Cottage
can
be
transformed
through
efficiency
upgrades.They
can
not
only
help
protect
property
owners
from
rising
power
costs;but
also
can
save
the
earth.?
A.But
how
to
change
their
conditions?
B.But
the
U.S.has
more
than
100
million
existing
homes.
C.Some
effective
measures
should
be
taken
by
the
government.
D.So
some
people
say
that
the
greenest
way
is
to
maintain
old
ones.
E.Fortunately,some
relatively
simple
changes
can
green
older
homes.
F.Vast
energy
and
resources
went
into
the
construction
of
those
houses.
G.The
main
cause
is
the
cracks
that
expand
over
time
and
let

in.

TrackersonIce
Just
because
a
scientist
puts
a
GPS
tracking
collar
on
a
wild
polar
bear
does
not
mean
the
animal
will
obligingly
keep
it
on. 41 ,these
huge
collars
are
purposefully
loose.If
one
becomes
annoying,a
bear
can
42
it.But
scientists
have
now
found
a
way
to
use
43
from
the
discarded(丢弃的)devices.?
“These
dropped
collars 44
would
have
been
considered
garbage
data,”
says
Natasha
Klappstein,a
polar
bear
researcher
at
the
University
of
Alberta.She
and
her
colleagues
instead
used
45
from
such
collars,left
on
sea
ice
in
Canada’s
Hudson
Bay,to
track
the
ice
itself.For
their
study,published
in
June
in
TheCryosphere,the
researchers
identified
twenty
collars
that
transmitted
movement
data
in
line
with
ice
drift
rather
than
polar
bear
46
between
2005
and
2015.The
resulting
records
of
how
melting
ice
typically
drifts
in
Hudson
Bay
are
unique.There
are
no
easily
47
on-the-ground
sensors,and
satellite
observations
often
cannot
accurately
capture
the
motion
of
small
ice
sheets.?
The
team 48
the
discarded
collars’
movements
with
widely
used
ice-drift
modeling
data
from
the
U.S.National
Snow
and
Ice
Data
Center(NSIDC).Collar
data
indicated
that
the
NSIDC
model
underestimates
the
speed
at
which
ice
moves
around
in
Hudson
Bay-as
well
as
the
overall
49
of
drift.Over
the
course
of
several
months,the
model
could
drift
away
from
an
ice
sheet’s
location
by
a
few
hundred
kilometers,the
researchers
say.?
This
means
the
bears
may
be
working
harder,when
moving
against
the
direction
of
the
ice,than
scientists
had 50 :“Since
we’re
underestimating
the
speed
of
drift,we’re
likely
underestimating
the
energetic
effort
of
polar
bears,”says
Natasha
Klappstein.The
research
reveals
51
insight
into
how
highly
mobile
ice
moves.As
melting
increases
in
the
coming
years,such
ice
will
likely
become
more

could

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容写一篇
60词左右的内容概要。
Family
problems
are
a
universal
phenomenon,and
they
can
always
cause
people
pain,especially
around
family-centered
times,like
holidays.However,there
are
ways
to
solve
the
problems.Life
is
too
short
to
waste.How
a
person
approaches
the
family
members
and
what
he
says
can
make
a
big
difference.
If
the
family
members
are
arguing,waiting
until
everyone
calms
down
can
help
deal
with
the
argument.A
person
shouldn’t
discuss
the
family
problem
when
he
is
still
feeling
upset
or
emotional.If
he
waits
even
a
single
night,the
intensity(强度)
of
the
emotion
is
likely
to
calm
down
somewhat,even
if
he
is
still
unhappy.So
it
is
advised
that
he
should
wait
rather
than
react
emotionally.If
he
takes
a
step
back
and
gives
himself
some
time
to
think
before
dealing
with
the
problem,he
will
deal
with
it
wisely.
There
are
lots
of
people
who
want
to
send
off
a
text
or
an
email
and
wish
they
could
take
things
back.Actually,the
tone(语气)
can
be
easily
misunderstood
by
electronic
communication.The
man
who
sends
off
a
text
message
or
email
might
not
think
he
sounds
angry
to
the
person
receiving
it.Instead
of
sending
off
a
text,pick
up
the
telephone,or
better
yet,arrange
in-person
communication.Electronic
communication
means
people
lose
the
true
meaning
of
body
language,which
can
convey
feelings
and
reduce
the
sting(刺痛)
of
a
painful
conversation.
As
the
saying
goes,“Blood
is
thicker
than
water.”
People
can
choose
their
friends,but
not
their
family.You
might
be
able
to
cut
family
members
out,but
it
could
cause
you
more
pain
down
the
road.Understanding
that
family
members
have
faults,but
they
can
still
love
their
families,is
the
first
step
towards
dealing
with
problems.Accept
your
own
faults,too.
