Mouth open in wonder and horror, Laurent pelletier

TOOMuch Information
computer hackers i，n order to get m ore secret information, c onstant1y
impr ove at breaking into cyberdefenses (网络防御系统) to stealvaluable documents.
so so me researchersproposeusing an artificial-intelligence algorithm (算法) to
hopelessly c onfuse the m ,once they break in ,by hiding the real deal in a mountain
ofmisleading documents and information
The algorithm called word Embedding-based Fake online Repository
GenerationEngine (WE-ForGE), creates decoys of patents under development. If
hackers were after say the recipe for a new drug, they W Ould have to find the
relevant needle in a sea of false documents .This c ould mean checking each recipe
in detail and perhaps investing in a fewdead-end ones ."The name of the game
here is ,'Make it harder," explains S Subrahmanian ,itsdeveloper Dartmouth
college cyber security researcher. "pain those stealing from you."
subrahmanian says he tackled this prject er reading that companies are
unaware of new kinds of cyberatacks for an average of312 days er they begin.
"Hackershave almot a year to decamp with all our documents ,patents and
intellectual property,"he says ." They have stolen almost everything .Its' not just
the cr own jewels it's the cr own jewels,and the jewels of the cleaning lady and
the watchofthe secretary!"

The documents produced by WE-FORGE C Ould also act as hidden traps to
c onfuse hackers, says Rachel Tobac, CEO Of socialproof s ecurit These
documents might alert security when accesse panies have typically used
human-created false copies for this strateg But now the algorithm is able to do
that for us
The system producesconvincing traps by searching through a document for
keywords For eac hone itfnds, it calculates a list ofrelated concepts and replaces
the original term with one c hosen at random. The pr ocesscan produce dozens of
documents that c ontain nopatent informati onbut still look credible. subrahmanian
and his team asked computer science and chemistry graduates to evaluate realand
false patents from their respective fields And the humans found the
WE-FORGE-C reate ddocumentshighly believable.
WE-FORGE might eventually expand its boundar Both subrahmanian and
Tobac think this research will attract c omm ercial interest. "I Could dnitely see an
organization i nvesting in this type of pr oduct," Tobac says ."If this creates
believable dec oyswithout releasing se nsitive detailswithin those traps, then
think you've got a huge with there."
28 .what does the underlined word "decoys"in paragraph2referto？
A.Misleading documents. B .original terms.
C. computer operating systems. D. cyber securities.
29 .In paragraph3, what subrahmanian says indicates
A. the greedinessofhackers
B. the wealt hofthe companies
C. the unreliability ofthe network
D. the variety ofintellectual property
30. what can we learn about wE-FORGE
A. It will sound alarm uponbeing operated.
B. It isprofitable for the usersby a voiding their loss
C. It has atracted investors for its applicationin many fields.
D. It can com pose irrelevant c oncepts in the false documents.

The scientists behind a new database of more than 400 extre me weather
attribution( 归因) studies have performed an essential service .This piece of work,
drawing together every study of this type, ought to create a greater sense of
urgency around policymaking and campaigning. It shows that intense heatwave s,
hurricanes ,and foods have all been made far more likely by greenhouse gas
emissions And it spells out the alarming unpredictability as wellas the extent of
gl obal heating 'sc onsequences.
until the early2000s when the first attributi on studies were published ,it was
harder to link Co2 in the atmosphere with global heating's sensible effects .Thanks
to a growing body of research ,now we know.The last summer's rec ord-breaking
"heat dome "(热穹顶)acrossthe gl obe would have been almost impossible without
human-caused climate change.
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty" wrote the poet Johnkeats j ust over 200years
ago. when it comes to climate, truth can feel closer to terror these days B.ut
scientistsare right to insist that the reality must be faced .Indeed, this is the only
way to a void the m ost disastrousoutcomes .In a new book, HothouseEarth p,rof
BillMCGuire argues that we have reached a stage when minimising dangers
shouldbe regarded as "climate appeasement "
Like the historical responsibility for car bon emissions, attitudes and
ex periences in the present crisisare unevenly and unjustly shared out. Billi onsof
people around the world ,and above all in the global south are caught up
day to-day in a struggle for survival · This doesn't mean they don't rec ognise
global heating； subsistence (勉强维持生活) farmers and fishers are more directly
exposed to environmental damage than anyone else. But western governments,
businesses and people w ho are relatively sheltered from gl obal heating's worst
effects should rec ognise this as the pri vilege that it is. with this year's climate
change conference fast approaching, western governments must follow through
ontheir promises of climate finance to enable a green transition in the developing
worl d.

The purpose ofatributionscience is not simply t owarn the world a bout what
is happening ,but to aid preparations for what has not happened yet. The most
alarming global trend,apart from still-rising emissions that mean we are on c ourse
for 2.5°c of heating, is the unex pected speed with which it is already causing
chaos .Given what we now know a bout the impact of 1c of warming i,t is no
exaggerati ontosay that this trend isdisastrous.
But alternatives exist, and insisting on this point has never been m ore
important. The alarming findings of attributi on scientists can give rise to
desperation but m ust not be allowed to e nddeterminati onandhope.
31 T.he attribution studies imply that ·
A.policies addressing climate issue sare ineffective
B .it ishard to link Co2 with the effectsofglobal heating
C. the extent ofglobal heating's c onsequences isunpredictable
D.human are t oblame for the increase doccurrence ofdisasters
32 How does profBill MCGuire feel a bout the present climate crisis？
A. worried B. Doubtful.
C. optimistic. D. puzzled.
33 .what can we learn from thispassage？
A .The global south isinurgent need offinancial support.
B .The speeding upofglobal warming has spelled trouble.
C. Global heating affects western c ountries to a larger extent.
D .The effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissionhas worked.
34 .what is the mainpurpose ofthe passage
A. Tourge the public to follow the science.
B. Topersuade the scientists to furthertheir stud

The power of "Like

halfoftheir waking hoursonline. And most ofwhat they do is read and respond to
posts by friends and famil clicking ona thumbs-upor a heartic on is an easy way
t o stay in t ouch. 35
clicking "like"on a post can increase the number of pe ople who see it .fI
other people have liked a post ,new viewerswill be mre likely to like it to0 .Many
social media sites share mre ofthe higher-rankedposts. 36
According to recent studies ,viewing one's own postswith a lot of likes
activates the reward system in their brains ,especial1y for teens .positive responses
to teens' own photos (in the form of many likes) tell them that their friends
appreciate the material they're posting · 37 seeing some one else's popular
photo, however ,doesn't necessarily turn it on More likely it may affect
behavi oral attitudes.
38 In one 2011 stud in which teens doing driving task in a lab took
more risk when their friends were around, suggests that teens were changing their
behavior to try to get social approval. Last year r,esearchers recruited (招募) 32
teens to check whether they make similar changes when using social media .They
found that popular photos might signal to them that what 's in those photos is
socially acceptable. 39 That means that what you like online has the
power to influence notjust what others like ,but even what they do.
A like is a social cue. Tee nsuse it t olearn how to navigate their social world.
