Priya Dnti, a yung enthusiast crazy abut bth climate and cmputer science ften reflected n the link between AI and the climate crisis. Her jurney int this intersectin started in high schl when a bilgy teacher kindled her lve fr climate. At university, she fell fr cmputer science. Hwever, she was puzzled as ther technical fields had bvius climate - related applicatins, while cmputer science seemed t be lacking. “I had these tw passins but n clear way t cmbine them,” she recalled.
Then, in 2012, a turning pint arrived. She read a research article frm the University f Suthamptn that prpsed using AI t “put the smarts int smart grids (电网)”. This was abut better managing electricity supply and demand, which wuld enable a faster transitin (过渡) t renewable energy. “It grabbed me right away,” she recalled.
Hwever, the path was nt withut its challenges. She was explring a relatively new field, and it seemed like there was n cmmunity t supprt her. That all changed at an academic cnference. There, she came acrss David Rlnick, a fellw cmputer scientist with a passin fr climate. Rlnick pulled her int a lunch gathering centered arund using AI fr climate actin. Suddenly, she fund her cmmunity. With the supprt f varius funders and NGO partners, Dnti and Rlnick established Climate Change AI (CCAI). Relying n vlunteers, they cnducted wrkshps and published papers n diverse climate - related AI tpics.
One f CCAI's crucial tasks is filling data gaps. With initial funding frm Ggle DeepMind, CCAI explred using AI t fill data gaps in areas like slar pwer predictin. AI als has the ptential t enhance weather frecasts and climate predictins. Ggle DeepMind used AI t cut data - center cling energy by 40%.
In summary, the wrk f CCAI and individuals like Dnti shws that the cmbinatin f AI and climate science hlds great prmise in addressing the climate crisis. While ethical issues need attentin, the ptential benefits are undeniable.
24. What des the underlined wrd “kindled” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Received.B. Experienced.C. Recrded.D. Awakened.
25. What caused Priya Dnti t cmbine AI with climate actin in 2012?
A. A research n AI applicatins in traditinal pwer grids.
B. A paper fcusing n AI - enabled smart grid management.
C. An article prving AI's ability t replace human grid managers
D. A prpsal f using AI t reduce smart grid cnstructin csts.
26. What did the academic cnference mean t Priya Dnti?
A. It allwed her t publish her first paper n smart grids.
B. It helped her secure initial funding frm Ggle DeepMind.
C. It intrduced her t a cmmunity fcused n AI and climate.
D. It inspired her t switch frm cmputer science t climate studies.
27. What des the authr imply abut the cmbinatin f AI and climate science?
A. It has a bright applicatin future despite prblems.
B. It has already slved the existing ethical issues.
C. It is unlikely t make significant prgress sn.
D. It relies mainly n cntributins frm vlunteers.

It's a cmmn belief that we can get sustainable bifuels with zer carbn emissins (排放) just like transfrming sunlight int fd - stred energy. Hwever, this assumptin is cmpletely wrng. The grwth f bifuels has, in fact, increased emissins and is harming bth humans and wildlife. Despite this, prductin is rising rapidly, leaving us wndering what's ging n.
If yu believe bifuels are a great slutin, yu've been cheated by the s - called “greenwashing.” A reprt by the Transprt & Envirnment reveals that, n average, shifting t bifuels has increased carbn dixide emissins by 16%, cmpared t using fssil fuels. Althugh in sme regins like Eurpe, bifuels lead t a slight reductin in emissins, the assciated negative impacts are cnsiderable.
One f the majr drawbacks is the increase in fd prices. Transfrming wheat, crn, and vegetable ils int bifuels drives up demand and prices, cntributing significantly t fd - price inflatin (膨胀). Mrever, bifuel crps require large amunts f water fr irrigatin, wrsening water shrtage. The Transprt & Envirnment reprt states that 3000 litres f water are needed t prduce enugh bifuel fr a 100 - kilmetre drive, while a slar - pwered electric car nly needs 20 litres fr the same distance.
The questin then arises: why are cuntries funding bifuel prductin? On ne hand, there are strng ecnmic interests. Many are making prfits frm bifuels, and influential interest grups are pushing fr mre gvernment supprt. On the ther hand, sme cuntries r rganizatins are mre fcused n meeting emissin - reductin targets n paper and are turning a blind eye t the negative cnsequences.
In the US, pliticians extend bifuel - related tax breaks t maintain gd relatins with Crn Belt farmers. The shipping and air industries als see bifuels as a way t claim emissin cuts while cntinuing their nrmal peratins. The shipping industry's ptential increase in bifuel use culd be disastrus, as it may duble bifuel cnsumptin by the 2030s.
It has been clear fr many years that prducing bifuels t reduce emissins has the ppsite effect, and expanding prductin is an unwise mve.
28. What is the mistaken belief abut bifuels mentined in paragraph 1?
A. They can replace fssil fuels in future.
B. They have n influence n fd prices.
C. They are sustainable and zer - carbn.
D. They are acquired directly frm sunlight.
29. What des the Transprt & Envirnment reprt indicate abut bifuels?
A. They are widely accepted as a green energy slutin.
B. They have higher carbn emissins than fssil fuels.
C. They have significantly reduced emissins in Eurpe.
D. They are mre water - efficient than slar - pwered cars.
30. Why d sme cuntries cntinue t fund bifuel prductin?
A. T lwer the cst f mining fssil fuels.
B. T address the glbal water shrtage crisis.
C. T supprt farmers in sme develping regins.
D. T achieve emissin - reductin gals in thery.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Bifuels: A Green Slutin r a Hidden Prblem?
B. Emissin Reductin: A Real Need r a False Target?
C. Renewable Energy: A Bright Future r a Distant Dream?
D. Greenwashing: An Envirnmental Truth r a Marketing Trick?

D yu play music t yur plants? As a scientist passinate abut cllecting huseplants. I frequently meet with this questin. This cncept emerged in ppular culture in the 1960s, accmpanied by “music fr plants” albums (专辑) that are regaining ppularity nline. S, what insights des the latest research ffer n this lng - standing questin?
Evidently, plants lack ears and brains, meaning they can't enjy music as humans d. Hwever, recent studies reveal that they can detect envirnmental vibratins (振动) and change their behavir accrdingly. Fr instance, a muse - ear plant, when expsed t the sund f wrms chewing, prduces higher levels f pisn fr self - defense. Astnishingly, these plants can even distinguish threatening vibratins frm thers, activating defenses nly when necessary.
Plants als respnd t “pprtunity sunds”. Sme flwers, like tmates, blueberries, and kiwis, release pllen (花粉) nly when vibrated by the specific flwer visitrs, ignring ther bees. In just three minutes f hearing the sund f a certain bee flying, the flwers becme richer in sugar. Researchers have reprted that pea plants can direct their rt grwth twards the sund f running water.
Nnetheless, the impact f music n plant grwth is incnsistent. A recent study indicates that certain music tracks significantly enhance the grwth f the plant lettuce but has n effect n the plant alfalfa. When it cmes t nise, anther study finds that sage and marigld plants expsed t 16 hurs f cntinuus traffic nise daily shw ntably prer grwth. It turns ut that such backgrund nise disturbs their ability t detect crucial sund signals.
Thanks t recent research, we knw that plants are far frm being indifferent t sund and can be significantly influenced by it. Yet, since much abut this phenmenn remains a mystery, we lack the knwledge t accurately predict which sunds, at what frequency, vlume, r duratin, will lead t the desired utcmes. S, befre subjecting yur plants t nn - stp music, bear in mind that they may nt appreciate it, and nr will yur neighbrs.
32. What can we knw abut muse - ear plants?
A. They can detect harmful vibratins.
B. They rely n bees fr pllen spread.
C. They use pisn t attack ther plants.
D. They grw faster with music stimulatin.
33. Why des the authr mentin “traffic nise” in paragraph 4?
A. T prve the harm f nise t plants.
B. T cmpare the different sund types.
C. T explain plant defense mechanisms.
D. T illustrate its negative sund effects.
34. What is the authr's attitude tward playing music t plants?
A. Supprtive.B. Dismissive.C. Cautius.D. Disapprving.
35. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Hw plants detect envirnmental vibratins.
B. Whether playing music benefits plant grwth.
C. Why plants respnd t specific sund signals.
D. Hw “music fr plants” albums gain ppularity.

A recipe that tastes f hme
Lan sat there, phne in hand, her eyes fixed n the screen but her mind was wandering as the thught f calling her father filled her with unease. It wasn't just the call itself—it was the struggle t find wrds, the awkward silence that fllwed. Each time, she felt like staring up at a wall t high t climb.
Since her mther's death the previus year, Lan had been deeply wrried abut her father living alne. Since she wrked in a distant city, the physical separatin had widened their emtinal gap. In the past, she called her mther weekly, sharing every detail f her life. Hwever, her father, ften away during her childhd, was very strict. Their exchanges sunded like frmal rders frm a superir t a junir, and ver the years, a high wall had built up between them. Lan desired t ask abut her father's well - being, yet every time she tried, the wrds always gt stuck in her thrat. Cnsequently, her calls t him became less and less frequent, drpping frm nce a week t nce every tw weeks.
One day, when Lan called her father, the drbell rang with her takeaway. Her father's vice came thrugh the phne, suggesting that takeaway fd was unhealthy and she shuld ck fr herself. Lan blurted ut (脱口而出) that she culd even have difficulty making scrambled eggs (炒鸡蛋) with tmates. This simple mentin f cking seemed t awaken smething in her father. He happily explained hw t chse the right ingredients. With her ears fixed n every wrd, memries f her father's hme - cked dish flded back.
When the call ended, Lan paused fr a mment. She realized it was different this time! They talked lnger with n awkward silence. It was as if a small crack had frmed in the wall between them. That evening, she decided t make a vide call t her father fr detailed guidance t ck the dish. Searching the fridge, she fund tmates and eggs, exactly ingredients he'd described. Having laid them ut, she dialed his number, fingers trembling with excitement and nervusness.
注意：

第一段
As the vide was cnnected, Lan's father saw the ingredients and smiled. "Let's start with cracking the eggs gently," he said, his vice warm and patient. Lan fllwed his instructins, her hands still a bit shaky. "Nw, cut the tmates int small pieces. Remember, nt t small," he added. Lan ndded, fcusing intently. They went thrugh each step tgether heating the il, adding the eggs first, then the tmates. Lan's father shared little tips, like adding a pinch f sugar t enhance the flavr. By the end, the dish was ready, lking a bit messy but filled with lve.
第二段
With his eyes lighting up, he urged Lan t taste the dish. Lan tk a small bite. "It's... it's gd!" she exclaimed, surprised. Her father laughed. "Of curse! Yu made it with heart," Then he said sftly, "Lan, I... I miss yur mm's cking t. But this... this is ur new memry." Lan felt a lump in her thrat. "Dad, I... I miss yu t. Let's ck mre tgether." Her father ndded, his eyes shining. Frm that day n, their calls were n lnger awkward. The "hme cked dish" became their bridge, melting the high wall between them. Whether n stage (in their hearts) r in the street (their daily life), they chse gdness the gdness f lve and cnnectin.
