A few years back, I was leaving the animal shelter where I wrked nly t find a baby gat at the end f the driveway. The shelter’s wners are knwn animal rescuers, and I figured smene had drpped him ver the fence. The kid was visibly nervus but std perfectly still as I apprached.
I’m an animal lver and I’ve brught hme dgs, cats, hrses, and chickens, but never a gat. The tiny kid was t adrable t resist. I named him Rcky, and with the help f sme experienced friends, bttle-fed him in my bathrm.
Rcky prved t be quite intelligent. When he was abut a week ld, I kncked n the bathrm flr and said “lie dwn”. I was astnished when he drpped dwn. I was even mre amazed when he did it three times in a rw.
A quick study Rcky learned t lie dwn, bw, and turn in a circle in n time. He is huse-trained, jumps in the back f my car when I say “lad up”, and spends the day wandering with my dgs, whm he cnsiders his fellw grup. He knws the name f everything I feed him, and even jins us fr trips t the dg park.
I lve t train animals and ften take my dgs t shws where they can perfrm their tricks. Rcky did his first shw when he was just six weeks ld. He knew nly a few tricks then, but he did them perfectly and never misbehaved r gt nervus in frnt f the crwd.
Nw he has a whle inventry (清单): he’ll cme when called, walk n a string, wave, smile fr the camera (“Say cheese”), and mre. Rcky and my dgs perfrm regularly at schls, nursing hmes, and charity events. Rcky can even “read” his tricks ff cards, which always earns the mst applause.
It’s hard t believe that the baby gat nbdy wanted turned ut t be ne f the smartest and mst gd-natured animals I’ve ever had. He’s by far the sharpest f my bunch — just dn’t tell the dgs!
4. Hw did the authr acquire Rcky?

Even if yu dn’t wrry that artificial intelligence (AI) will destry the human race, yu might cncern that its fearsme appetite fr electricity will destry the envirnment. Asking ChatGPT a questin means using ten times mre energy than an ld-fashined search inquiry. Ggle’s greenhuse-gas emissins (排放) rse by nearly half between 2019 and 2023, as the AI bm tk ff; Micrsft’s have been up by almst 30% since 2020. With huge investments in new data centres planned, mre rises seem t happen. But the spread f such pessimistic sentiments (悲观情绪) is inapprpriate. In abslute terms, AI may be less energy-hungry than many peple assume. Better still, AI can help remve carbn frm the industries that have prved hardest t clean up.
Cnsider AI’s appetite fr energy first. The Internatinal Energy Agency (IEA) thinks that electricity cnsumptin by data centres culd as much as triple (三倍) in the next five years. Even if energy usage sars, thugh, the base is still lw. Data centres tday accunt fr abut 1.5% f the wrld’s electricity cnsumptin — and the vast majrity f that is due t streaming, scial media and nline shpping, nt AI.
Mrever, sme f AI’s electricity use will help with greening the ecnmy. As we explain in this week’s Science & Technlgy sectin, AI excels at identifying cmplex patterns, prcessing giant data sets and upgrading systems, all f which can help reduce emissins. AI is already helping imprve the efficiency f electrical netwrks, cut fuel use in shipping and spt therwise invisible leaks f methane, a pwerful greenhuse gas.
The task fr plicymakers and industry bsses is t maximize such benefits while minimizing the climate impacts. The mst elegant slutin wuld be fr gvernments t impse a prper price n carbn and leave the market t d its wrk.
8. What is the authr’s main argument regarding AI’s energy cnsumptin?
A. Gvernments must immediately stp AI develpment.
B. AI will cause envirnmental disaster t the human race.
C. Current cncerns abut AI’s energy impact are verstated.
D. Streaming services and scial media pse greater threats than AI.
9. What des the underlined wrd “sars” in paragraph 2 mst prbably mean?
A. Increase s quickly.B. Lks nrmal.
C. Falls sharply.D. Cmes easily.
10. Hw des AI help t reduce emissins?
A. By shutting dwn high- pllutin factries.
B. By develping new carbn capture technlgies.
C. By cmpletely replacing traditinal energy surces.
D. By cnducting AI-pwered data and system peratins.
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Data Centre: Pwering the Future
B. Ggle and Micrsft’s Carbn Crisis
C. AI: Energy Cnsumer r Climate Rescuer
D. AI: Envirnmental Threat r Ecnmic Bster

The sun was shining, birds were singing, and the light wind made the air feel fresh and clean. As we walked alng the narrw dirt path, we chatted happily and tk phts f wildflwers, butterflies, and even a deer in the distance. After tw hurs f hiking, we reached a hilltp that ffered a breathtaking view f the green valley belw. We sat n a big rck, ate sme snacks, and laughed as we shared ur favrite parts f the trip s far.
Then Clara pinted t a spt n the map. “There’s a waterfall nearby,” she said. “Let’s g t find it!” I agreed, and we decided t explre a little deeper int the wds. We tld Mr. Turner and he reminded us nt t g t far. The deeper we walked, the quieter it became. The tall trees blcked ut mst f the sunlight, and the path beneath ur feet became slippery (滑的) with leaves and mss.
Abut half an hur later, we heard the sund f rushing water and quickened ur pace (步伐)，excited t finally see the waterfall. But just as we thught we were clse, the sky suddenly darkened. The wind picked up, and the thunder rlled in the distance. I lked at Clara, and fr the first time that day, I saw wrry n her face. We had n umbrellas and were far frm the main trail. We hesitated, unsure whether t turn back r mve frward.
