It is a strange cincidence that as humans attempt t greatly reduce their carbn emissins, they are als rushing t develp a technlgy that culd, in thery, cnsume an unlimited amunt f energy.
Ding things against facts is a dangerus game, but yu can picture a wrld in which, having chsen t start dealing with climate change prperly in the 1990s, we wuld be just wrapping up the gentle path t net-zer emissins in time fr a rapid AI increase fuelled by green pwer. Instead, we find urselves at risk f running a 21st-century technlgy n a 20th-century energy supply.
If yu live in the US, every time yu use an AI mdel, arund 20 per cent f the electricity required will be prduced by burning cal. The explsive grwth f AI makes this an even mre pressing cncern. Accrding t ne analysis, if Ggle chse t shift t an entirely AI-pwered search business, its electricity cnsumptin culd match that f sme cuntries.
Such estimates may be magnified, but evidence f rising pwer cnsumptin frm AI is all arund. Micrsft is placing bets n nuclear plants t pwer its data centers, while the English gvernment has prmised t bst its natinal cmputing capacity by 50 per cent by 2025, which wuld help it keep pace with rapid AI develpments in the wrld.
Thankfully, we may sn reach a turning pint. As is reprted, this year the glbal pwer department came clse t reaching peak greenhuse gas emissins, as the switch frm fssil (化石) fuels t clean and renewable surces is well underway. The questin nw is whether we can quicken the pace f decarbnisatin(脱碳) t match the cming grwth in energy cnsumptin as AI becmes increasingly embedded in ur sciety. Silicn Valley’s intelligent machines may grab the headlines and the imaginatin, but the peple really inventing the future are wrking n the energy sectr.
8. What des paragraph 2 mainly talk abut?
A. Carbn emissins have been reduced a lt.
B. The reality is far frm what we expected.
C. The rapid AI increase brings many benefits.
D. Climate change has t be dealt with prperly.
9. Why is electricity cnsumptin a majr cncern?
A. Extensive use f AI will cnsume mre energy.
B. Many cuntries haven’t switched t clean energy.
C. There is n limit n tech-giants’ electricity cnsumptin.
D. 20% f the pwer is prduced by burning cal in the US.
10. What des the underlined wrd “magnified” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Undervalued.B. Overstated.C. Cmmn.D. Reasnable.
11. What wuld be ur primary task befre we reach a turning pint?
A. Shifting t a fully AI-pwered search business.
B. Achieving net-zer emissins as sn as pssible.
C. Balancing energy-hungry AI with decarbnisatin.
D. Creating an unlimited energy-cnsuming technlgy.

The cliche (陈词滥调) f a knitter is a white-haired lady. But in the 1940s, yung male Ryal Air Frce pilts used needles as they waited fr their next missin. Wartime pilts crashed a lt and “lap crafts” like knitting, helped rebuild flexibility in wunded limbs while als helping t settle wunded minds. They were the fundatin f early ccupatinal therapy (治疗).
Tday, millins f peple arund the wrld emply these same techniques. “They are clsely assciated with ur mental health,” says Janine Smith, the wner f a stre that sells supplies fr knitting and crcheting (用钩针编制). “I knw that if I haven’t knitted fr a few days, I really miss it. It’s like meditatin.”
Physitherapist Betsan Crkhill and ccupatinal therapist Jill Riley were part f a team frm Cardiff University that, ten years ag, surveyed mre than 3,500 knitters and fund that the mre frequently peple knitted, the calmer and happier they felt.
In reality, it is a “Flw”, which is a cncept first named by psychlgist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi as he wrte in his bk, “The best mments in ur lives are nt the passive, receptive, relaxing times. The best mments usually ccur if a persn’s bdy r mind is stretched t its limits in a vluntary effrt t accmplish smething difficult and wrthwhile.”
Shauna Richardsn knws just hw true this is. The artist spent 18 mnths in a state f flw when she crcheted three seven-metre-lng lins fr the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. T cmplete the task, which required nearly 38 miles f wl, she says she had t “zne everything ut and sustain a state f mind driven by rhythm and prcess.”
But smaller prjects will als get yu there. Even a simple knitting r crchet pattern requires attentiveness t ensure that each stitch is made crrectly. And if there’s nt enugh challenge in the straightfrward, yu can make additins, frm clur changes t textured stitches t highly cmplicated patterns.
The Cardiff research team fund that even thugh mst f the peple surveyed were emplyed, three-quarters f thse wh knitted three r mre times a week felt significantly mre able t rganise their thughts and frget their prblems.
12. What’s the purpse f the first paragraph?
A. T explre early ccupatinal therapy.
B. T intrduce the early uses f knitting.
C. T distinguish between tw types f pilts.
D. T stress knitting is nt nly fr ld wmen.
13. On which ccasin will a persn experience “Flw”?
A. Playing cmputer games t ne’s heart’s cntent.
B. Figuring ut a gd slutin all f a sudden.
C. Wrking n a technical prblem devtedly.
D. Hanging ut with a lng-lst gd friend.
14. What can yu infer frm the last tw paragraphs?
A. One stitch missed may lead t the lss f ne’s attentiveness.
B. Clrs and patterns make a difference t the beauty f the prject.
C. Smaller prjects will nt cntribute much t experiencing “Flw”.
D. Frequent knitters are better at handling their thughts and challenges.
15. What is the best title f the text?
A. Active Hands, Calm Minds.B. Unique Therapy, Effective Healing.
C. Special Techniques, Organized Thughts.D. Simple Knitting, Strng Bdy.

Living ff grid
When yu need electricity, yu just plug in the machine and switch it n. If yu need water, yu turn n the tap. _____16_____ Fr many peple, these facilities are the basics f civilized sciety and the idea f living withut them seems risky. Yet fr a grwing number f peple, the idea f living ff grid — withut electricity, water r sewage (污水) — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle.
Off-gridders d nt have t give up electricity r a mdern lifestyle — sme chse t, but mst use small hydrelectric(水电的)pwer systems, slar panels r windmills t generate enugh pwer fr their needs. Heating and cking needs are met by slar energy r wd burning systems, and tilet facilities range frm nn-water tilets t utside cmpst (堆肥)tilets. _____17_____ It ranges frm traditinal yurts (a type f tent) t luxury huses with high-speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple hmes r luxury huses, what they all have in cmmn is that their lifestyles d nt create any pllutin r carbn emissins — the ultimate gal fr ff-gridders.
Arund 100,000 peple are thught t be living ff grid in the UK nw. _____18_____ They grw their wn fd, hme-schl their children and prvide their wn medical care. They are peple wh have been priced ut f the husing market r wh have grwn disillusined with what mdern sciety can ffer and wh decide that an alternative lifestyle isn’t a pipe dream, but a viable (可行的) ptin.
_____19_____ Off-grid huses are far cheaper t build than rdinary hmes since they dn’t need t be cnnected t the electricity r water supplies and even rad access is nt necessary. Materials tend t be cheaper, t. Ppular ptins include straw r ld tyres and cement.
Surprisingly, the biggest prblem ff-gridders face is nt building their hmes r becming self-sufficient but getting permissin t build. Rural areas away frm twn are the perfect chice but these are ften prtected by law frm cnstructin f any kind r have building restrictins. There are nw several websites dedicated t land-sharing s that the csts f buying land and getting permissin can be shared, and there are increasing numbers f ff-grid cmmunities. _____20_____ Off-gridding culd sn be cmmn all ver Eurpe and America.
A. Many are self-sufficient, nt just prviding their wn electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects.
B. After yu use the tilet, yu flush it and the waste disappears.
C. This shift frm individual t grup ff-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is grwing nticeably.
D. Living ff-grid still has a lng way t g befre it becmes a mainstream way f living.
E. Rather than building permanent hmes, vans r mbile hmes r even ld shipping cntainers are ther ptins.
F. They live in a huge variety f types f accmmdatin.
G. Apart frm living an alternative lifestyle, cst is a big factr in chsing t live ff-grid.
