I’ve spent much f my life dealing with written and spken wrds. Nw I’m a technlgist making use f natural language prcessing fr human gd. Given that I wrk in artificial intelligence (AI), I’m realizing smething dangerus happening. Machines are ruining the way we cmmunicate.
AI vices are nrmalized and yet cld, n matter which accent (口音) yu set yur Siri r Amazn Alexa int. It’s difficult t nrmalize language t be inffensive because smetimes we d make peple feel uncmfrtable r even make them annyed. Yet this is exactly what we’re asking artificial intelligence t d fr us n a billin-persn scale. Once these rules are carried ut by machines, they’re unavidable and create much bigger issues.
We ntice that there is an active desire t nly include standardized language in AI-pwered tls in an attempt t avid including ptentially hateful r ffensive language. And these AI-pwered tls are exactly what we use t cmplete ur thughts almst at any given time. They are everywhere—in ur emails, wrd prcessrs, and web pages. The machines are pushing us int a cmmn tngue, and we accept it as a matter f cnvenience. But what’s the cst? We’re trading uniqueness and accuracy fr cnvenience. We’re als handing the pwer f acceptable speech t machines nt peple.
In the real wrld, , peple dn’t cmmunicate like a Wikipedia (维基百科) article. We use tne (语气), humr and facial expressins. We can tell where peple were brn based n their accents and wrding. Humans are truly unique, and ur cmmunicatin is cnstantly changing. S we shuld demand AI systems that prmte individuality and uniqueness. We shuld demand t knw hw Al is develped and the data used t build it. Because we all deserve this.
28. What des the underlined wrd “inffensive” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. HatefulB. ValuableC. HarmlessD. Beneficial
29. Hw can we prmte Al vice?
A. Al vice shuld be legalized.B. AI vice shuld be mdernized.
C. AI vice shuld be standardized.D. AI vice shuld be persnalized.
30. What’s the main idea f the last paragraph?
A. AI systems shuld be imprved.
B. AI systems deserve mre supprt.
C. AI systems are becming mre human like.
D. AI systems are destrying ur cmmunicatin.
31. What’s the authr’s tne in the passage?

Back in the early 2000s, lts f peple culdn’t imagine life withut alarm clcks, CD players, calendars, cameras, lts f ther devices. But alng came the iPhne and ther smartphnes, and they tk ver the functins f many things that we used t think were cmpletely necessary.
The success f smartphnes can be a mdel fr dealing with climate change because they represent a different apprach t design, which is t fcus n functin rather than frm. This apprach requires cncentrating n understanding the prblems, and then engineering a wide range f ptential slutins. By adpting this mindset, we can cmpletely change ur thinking abut energy efficiency.
Traditinally, imprvements in energy efficiency have mstly been centered n individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But fcusing n individual devices is like if Apple bad spent effrt inventing a better alarm clck, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Nw with an iPhne, we dn’t need the standalne (独立运行的) devices at all, because it can functin as all f them.
S when it cmes t energy efficiency, instead f nly installing mre efficient heaters, we shuld fcus n the desired functin: warmth. Thrugh creative designs like cating ur huse, we can get rid f the need fr beaters, significantly saving nearly 99% energy.
Similarly, rather than merely fcusing n making cars mre efficient, we shuld cnsider the desired functin—transprtatin. By develping an efficient transprtatin system that reduces the need fr private cars, we can achieve greater energy savings.
The mst energy-efficient car r heater is n car, r n heater, while still being able t get arund and stay warm. In ther wrds, it’s nt thinking efficiently, but thinking differently.
32. What makes the iPhne a gd example f envirnmental prtectin?
A. Chsing a simplest design.B. Cmbining pssible functins.
C. Perfecting individual instruments.D. Reducing the energy cnsumptin.
33. Accrding t the passage, what is the mst imprtant part f imprving energy efficiency?
A. Imprving technlgies.B. Using recyclable materials.
C. Figuring ut varius slutins.D. Cncentrating n the necessary needs.
34. What des the authr think f traditinal practices in energy imprvements?
A. Inefficient.B. Classical.C. Useless.D. Perfect.
35. What des the authr intend t tell us thrugh the text?
A. Think ut f the bx.B. Differences make it unique.
C. Be ecnmical with energy.D. Step ut f the cmfrt zne.

I’ve spent much f my life dealing with written and spken wrds. Nw I’m a technlgist making use f natural language prcessing fr human gd. Given that I wrk in artificial intelligence (AI), I’m realizing smething dangerus happening. Machines are ruining the way we cmmunicate.
AI vices are nrmalized and yet cld, n matter which accent (口音) yu set yur Siri r Amazn Alexa int. It’s difficult t nrmalize language t be inffensive because smetimes we d make peple feel uncmfrtable r even make them annyed. Yet this is exactly what we’re asking artificial intelligence t d fr us n a billin-persn scale. Once these rules are carried ut by machines, they’re unavidable and create much bigger issues.
We ntice that there is an active desire t nly include standardized language in AI-pwered tls in an attempt t avid including ptentially hateful r ffensive language. And these AI-pwered tls are exactly what we use t cmplete ur thughts almst at any given time. They are everywhere—in ur emails, wrd prcessrs, and web pages. The machines are pushing us int a cmmn tngue, and we accept it as a matter f cnvenience. But what’s the cst? We’re trading uniqueness and accuracy fr cnvenience. We’re als handing the pwer f acceptable speech t machines nt peple.
In the real wrld, , peple dn’t cmmunicate like a Wikipedia (维基百科) article. We use tne (语气), humr and facial expressins. We can tell where peple were brn based n their accents and wrding. Humans are truly unique, and ur cmmunicatin is cnstantly changing. S we shuld demand AI systems that prmte individuality and uniqueness. We shuld demand t knw hw Al is develped and the data used t build it. Because we all deserve this.
28. What des the underlined wrd “inffensive” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. HatefulB. ValuableC. HarmlessD. Beneficial
29. Hw can we prmte Al vice?
A. Al vice shuld be legalized.B. AI vice shuld be mdernized.
C. AI vice shuld be standardized.D. AI vice shuld be persnalized.

A. AI systems shuld be imprved.
B. AI systems deserve mre supprt.

Back in the early 2000s, lts f peple culdn’t imagine life withut alarm clcks, CD players, calendars, cameras, lts f ther devices. But alng came the iPhne and ther smartphnes, and they tk ver the functins f many things that we used t think were cmpletely necessary.
The success f smartphnes can be a mdel fr dealing with climate change because they represent a different apprach t design, which is t fcus n functin rather than frm. This apprach requires cncentrating n understanding the prblems, and then engineering a wide range f ptential slutins. By adpting this mindset, we can cmpletely change ur thinking abut energy efficiency.
Traditinally, imprvements in energy efficiency have mstly been centered n individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But fcusing n individual devices is like if Apple bad spent effrt inventing a better alarm clck, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Nw with an iPhne, we dn’t need the standalne (独立运行的) devices at all, because it can functin as all f them.
S when it cmes t energy efficiency, instead f nly installing mre efficient heaters, we shuld fcus n the desired functin: warmth. Thrugh creative designs like cating ur huse, we can get rid f the need fr beaters, significantly saving nearly 99% energy.
Similarly, rather than merely fcusing n making cars mre efficient, we shuld cnsider the desired functin—transprtatin. By develping an efficient transprtatin system that reduces the need fr private cars, we can achieve greater energy savings.
The mst energy-efficient car r heater is n car, r n heater, while still being able t get arund and stay warm. In ther wrds, it’s nt thinking efficiently, but thinking differently.
32. What makes the iPhne a gd example f envirnmental prtectin?
A. Chsing a simplest design.B. Cmbining pssible functins.
C. Perfecting individual instruments.D. Reducing the energy cnsumptin.
33. Accrding t the passage, what is the mst imprtant part f imprving energy efficiency?
A. Imprving technlgies.B. Using recyclable materials.
C. Figuring ut varius slutins.D. Cncentrating n the necessary needs.
34. What des the authr think f traditinal practices in energy imprvements?
A. Inefficient.B. Classical.C. Useless.D. Perfect.
35. What des the authr intend t tell us thrugh the text?
A. Think ut f the bx.B. Differences make it unique.
C. Be ecnmical with energy.D. Step ut f the cmfrt zne.
