The gd news is that mre peple bught electric vehicles (EVs) in 2020. The bad news is that sprt utility (多用途的) vehicles (SUVs) cntinued t grw in ppularity, t. “The fall in il cnsumptin due t the first trend was cmpletely canceled ut by the secnd,” said Laura Czzi, an fficer at the Internatinal Energy Agency (JEA).
Between 2010 and 2020, glbal carbn dixide emissins (排放) frm cnventinal cars fell by nearly 35 billin tns, due t reasns such as fuel efficiency imprvements as well as the switch t electric cars. Emissins frm SUVs rse by mre than 50 billin tns. “While the grwth in EVs is encuraging, the bm in SUVs is heart-breaking,” says Peters at the Cicer Climate Research Centre in Nrway.
There are many reasns fr the grwing ppularity f SUVs. Fr example, rising ecnmic bm in many cuntries means mre peple are able t affrd them. Sme peple see them as status symbls. Als, SUVs are heavily advertised by car-makers, whse prfit is higher n these vehicles. Sme cuntries, including France, have intrduced plans under which mre taxes are paid n heavier cars. But Peters thinks that peple wh are rich enugh t affrd SUVs wn’t be deterred by slightly higher taxes. “There are nw sme electric SUVs available, but I hpe ne day yu will see mre electric vehicles brught t the SUV market,” says Peters.
Even if it happens, switching t electric SUVs isn’t a gd slutin. Due t their size and bigger batteries, it takes mre resurces t build electric SUVs, and they cnsume arund 15 percent mre electricity. That means higher emissins unless the electricity cmes entirely frm renewable surces, and higher electricity demand makes it harder t green the electricity supply.
8．What can we infer frm Paragraph 2?
A．Scientists shuld devte themselves t imprving fuel efficiency.
B．The ppularity f SUVs destrys sme effrts t prtect the envirnment.
C．Electric vehicles will certainly take the place f sprt utility vehicles.
D．The emissin f carbn dixide f mtr vehicles has hit a new lw.
9．What des the underlined wrd “deterred” prbably mean?
A．Encuraged.B．Remved.
C．DiscuragedD．Cnnected.
10．What is ne f the reasns that SUVs are ppular with cnsumers?
A．SUVs are discunted heavily.
B．SUVs cnsume fewer resurces than ther vehicles.
C．SUVs are ften advertised by car prducers.
D．SUVs are taxed at a lwer rate in sme cuntries.
11．What pint des the authr try t make in the last paragraph?
A．Mre electric SUVs dn’t necessarily mean “envirnment-friendly” .
B．The electric SUVs are a gd guarantee fr less pllutin.
C．The electric SUVs shuld be made smaller and lighter.
D．Future electric SUVs will be pwered with cmpletely green energy.
Cmputers have becme amazingly exact at translating spken wrds t text messages and searching a large supply f valuable infrmatin fr answers t difficult questins. At least, that is, s lng as yu speak English r ther wrld's main languages. But try talking t yur phne in Yruba, Igb r any number f widely spken African languages and yu'll find difficulty in accessing infrmatin, trade and ther benefits f the glbal tech ecnmy.
American tech giants dn't have a lng histry f making their language technlgy wrk well utside the wealthiest markets, a prblem that has als made it harder fr them t discver dangerus misinfrmatin n their platfrms. Ggle, fr instance, upset members f the Yruba cmmunity when its language app mistranslated a nice African gd as a devil. Part f the reasn is that there's just nt enugh nline data in thse languages fr the Al systems t effectively learn hw t get better at understanding them.
“We are getting t the pint where if a machine desn't understand yur language, it will be like it never existed,” said Vuksi Marivate, wh has devted sme f his Al research t the suthern African languages f Xitsnga and Setswana. “Cnsidering ur histry, sme f the bias (偏见) is intentinal. The histry f the African cntinent and in general in clnized (殖民化的) cuntries, is that when language had t be translated, it was translated in a very narrw way,” Marivate added.
Hwever, Ggle and Micrsft are amng the cmpanies that say they are trying t imprve technlgy fr s-called "lw-resurce" languages that Al systems dn't have enugh data fr. Cmputer scientists at Meta annunced a breakthrugh n the path t a "universal translatr" that culd translate multiple languages at nce and wrk better with lwer-resurced languages. Meanwhile, Marivate and ther researchers have funded a research prject acrss Africa. Increasingly, peple are jining hands t develp a variety f language appraches.
12．What can we learn frm Paragraphs 1 and 2?
A．Yruba and Igb are widely spken in the wrld.
B．English speakers fail t access nline infrmatin.
C．The nline data f African languages is limited.
D．Cmputers can translate all text messages exactly.
13．Why des the authr mentin “Ggle” in Paragraph 2?
A．T make a predictin.B．T draw a cmparisn.
C．T reach a cnclusin.D．T give an example.
14．What is Marivate's attitude twards “American tech giants”?
A．Friendly.B．Uncncerned.C．Dissatisfied.D．Prud.
15．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Jint Effrts t Imprve AI in African LanguagesB．Cmputers Gd at Translating Spken Language
C．US Tech Giants Misunderstand African LanguagesD．African Researchers Exchange Ideas with Tech Giants
Music influences yur emtins. In turn, yur emtins influence yur behavir. One f these is yur fd intake. 16 What des science say abut this subject?
Researchers at the University f Arkansas studied hw music influences peple when they eat in a restaurant. Fr the study, they used fur types f music: jazz, classical, rck, and hip-hp. Their results shwed that peple had mre appetite when they listened t jazz music while they ate. 17 This has a lt t d with emtins. Fr instance, when yu listen t music with harmnic rhythms like jazz, yu feel happier. This increases yur appetite.
Hwever, anther study published in Psychlgical Reprts suggests it isn’t nly increased appetite that causes peple t eat mre. 18 A mre stimuli-filled envirnment makes yu eat mre. In fact, they tend t urge yu n t eat and even “encurage” yu t eat faster. On the ther hand, if the atmsphere in the restaurant is relaxed, yu’re likely t feel mre relaxed and spend mre time enjying yurself. Fr this reasn, yu’ll tend t eat less.
Besides, the study cnducted by the Jurnal f the Academy suggests that the vlume f music can als have an effect n hw yu eat. Mre specifically, the study states that, with lw-vlume music, yu eat better because yu make healthier chices. On the ther hand, the study claims that music at high vlume increases stimulatin and stress. 19
Fr this reasn, restaurants shuld cnsider the fact when thinking abut the ptimizatin f their prducts and services. 20 They equip themselves with the technlgy needed t prvide memrable experiences thrugh music, greatly strengthening their relatinship with the custmer.
A．Des music influence hw yu eat?
B．Being in a rush t eat als plays a part.
C．Des yur emtin bst yur appetite?
D．Hwever, they had less appetite when listening t hip-hp.
E．In fact, many catering establishments have already taken actin.
F．This culd prve t be quite an interesting cncept fr restaurants.
G．This means yu’re mre likely t rder cmfrt fd r ther unhealthy ptins.
二、完形填空
Small children are easy t thrw up in the air and catch — and they 21 it. “Again, Daddy, again!” Jacky shuts as I thrw him skywards and catch him n the way back dwn again. He thrws his arms and legs ut 22 he were flying, his eyes wide with 23 . His trust in me is 24 , which is quite a nice feeling, but at the same time gives me a huge sense f 25 .
I hpe Jacky will always trust me fully, but I knw that, as he gets lder, it will need mre effrt and sund judgment 26 .

31 , in the wrkplace, trust is imprtant fr strng 32 . It is smething that every manager shuld wrk hard t 33 amng their team. If peple dn’t trust yu, they’re unlikely t fllw yur directins and willingly becme a lyal (忠诚) team member. A 34 f trust can make peple wrk against yu rather than fr yu. At the very least, it means that peple are nt ging t be giving yu their best. Gd 35 , like gd parenting, is a lng-term cmmitment.

Thirteen is a beautiful age, and can als be a challenging age. Nt nly did I have t adapt t my changing bdy, I als had t deal with my parents ‘ being ut f jb, and the upsetting mve frm my cuntry hme t a crwded suburb.
When we mved, my belved cmpanin, a small brwn dg, had t be sld. Feeling helpless and alne, I culdn’t eat r sleep, and I cried all f the time. I missed my friends, my teachers and my puppy. Finally, my father, realizing hw much I missed my pet, purchased an ld red dg fr me at a lcal market.
My dg, Baxi, was withut dubt the ugliest dg in the wrld. He was pigen-pawed and knck-kneed. But I didn’t care abut his faults. I lved him beynd all reasns. Every afternn I walked it in the frest nearby my hme. Althugh small and ugly, it ran very fast. T keep pace with him, I ften had t run, ut f breath. Gradually, I lved running and ran like a wind.
I jined the running club in my schl and faced rude cmments and mean snickers abut my lks. Yes, lking s thin and shrt and weak, I was an ugly ducking, just like Baxi. Thugh I never let n hw I felt, but deep dwn inside, my heart was breaking.
When I entered fr the running race where a player is judged n appearance, I was quickly ut f the game. I finally realized that my nly chance t cmpete wuld be in the timed-speed event. I chse the shrt-distance racing, an event in which a player attempts t cmplete a shrt run in the fastest time.
One girl named Becky tk part in the race event, t. She always wn the blue ribbns. Needless t say, she didn’t feel threatened when I cmpeted against her at the next shw. She didn’t need t. She thught I came in next t last.
The bitter memry f Becky’s smirks (得意的笑) made me determined t beat her. Fr the whle next mnth, I wke up early every day and run five miles t the arena (运动场地). I practiced fr hurs in the ht sun. On the way hme I wuld be s tired; thse five miles seemed twice as lng.
