22．（8分） Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be dirtier than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions vehicles”, but people inCalifornia seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fireto make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get ourelectricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something—usually coal, oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms andgeothermal (地热)plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s justbecause the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It’s as if the CaliforniaGreens are covering their eyes—“ If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.” Gasoline is anincredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But whenyou take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice partof that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmissionlines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallonof gas won’t get you as far — so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-poweredones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, thenan electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, wedon’t use much of those energy sources.
In addition, electric cars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventuallyend up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread acrossall the roads. When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is verygood at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all thegarbage is in one spot.
1、What is the main idea of the text?
A．Electric cars are far from being clean.
B．Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones.
C．People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries.
D．Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.
2、The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run____.
A．no less than 25 miles B．as far as 50 miles
C．less than 25 miles D．as far as 25 miles
3、According to the text, electric cars____.
A．are more environmentally friendly
B．burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
C．are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D．are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
4、It can be inferred from the text that____.
A．being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B．electric cars are the dominant vehicles compared with their gas-poweredcousins
C．zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D．electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something
23．（8分）A business school in Paris will soon begin using artificial intelligence and facial analysis to determine whether students are paying attention in class. The software, called Nestor, is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.
The idea, according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestor collects to improve the performance of both students and professors. The software uses students webcams（网络摄像机）to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. It then formulates quizzes based on the content covered during moments of inattentiveness. Professors would also be able to identify moments when students’ attention declined, which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet says.
Advocates for AI in education say that the software is actually unable to teach a course, but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to a student’s individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits. Such software could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.
Saucet says Nestor won’t store any of the video footage it gets and that his company has no plans to sell any other data the software collects. In addition to facial recognition and analysis, the software can integrate（合并）with students’ calendars to suggest possible study times, and track their online behavior to pick up on patterns.
Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the “black box of learning” by providing information on how and when learning happens. Luckin says a program like Nestor could be useful for students who take classes remotely, since “there isn’t a human there watching them.” And while some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers, Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees. “Human contact is not going to go away,” he says. “There will always be professors.”
1、How does Nestor work to find out when students aren’t paying attention?
A．By collecting the data of students’ performance in different classes.
B．By collecting the students’ grades in the quizzes.
C．By shooting and analyzing students’ eye movements and facial expressions..
D．By identifying moments when students’ attention declined.
2、Which is the benefit of AI education?
A．It could be used exactly to replace a tutor.
B．It helps student to develop more effective studying habits.
C．The software is able to satisfy the requirement of a course.
D．It could help teachers to give feedback on students performance..
3、How does Nestor deal with the information collected from students?
A．Nestor will use it to suggest possible study time to students’ schedule.
B．It won’t store any video footage but facial expression.
C．The company hasn’t expected to make profits by selling the data to other corporations..
D．Nestor will use it to keep track online of students’ behavior and punish them.
4、What is Rose Luckin’s attitude towards the replacement of teachers with AI?
A．Objective.
B．Approving.
C．Indifferent.
D．Opposed.
24．（8分）Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as ALS, affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord (脊髓) that make the muscles of both the upper and lower body work.
Those nerve cells lose their ability to control muscle movement, which leads to paralysis (瘫痪) and death. Its most famous sufferer was famed physicist Stephen Hawking, who died on March 14, 2018 at the age of 76.
Hawking, diagnosed with the condition in 1963, lived with it for more than 50 years — a remarkably long time for an ALS sufferer. The disease left him paralyzed and completely dependent on others and technology for everything: bathing, dressing, eating, mobility and speech. He was able to move only a few fingers on one hand.
“I try to lead as normal a life as possible, and not think about my condition, or regret the things it prevents me from doing, which are not that many,” he wrote on his website.
“I have been lucky that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope.”
Hawking’s life, including his battle with ALS, was made into a 2014 biopic, The Theory of Everything, starring Eddie Redmayne.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that 20,000 to 30,000 people have ALS in the United States, with about 5,000 new cases diagnosed every year. People usually find out that they have it between 55 and 75 years of age. On average, patients live two to five years after symptoms develop.
For reasons not yet understood, military veterans are twice as likely to be diagnosed with ALS as the general public, according to the ALS Association. Scientists have been studying many factors that could be linked with ALS, such as heredity (遗传) and environmental exposures.
1、According to the text, ALS .
A．is linked with climate changes
B．leads to death in one or two years
C．affects the nerve cells all over the body
D．makes people lose control of muscle movement
2、From the text we can infer that Hawking .
A．died of an unknown disease
B．lived with ALS for 55 years
C．felt desperate in his last years
D．was paralyzed due to poor treatment
3、What is the situation of ALS in the US?
A．Over 30,000 people suffer from ALS.
B．ALS is usually found among the elderly people.
C．Patients often enjoy a long lifespan despite ALS.
D．More and more new cases are reported every year.
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．The symptoms and possible cures of ALS.
B．A biographical film about Stephen Hawking.
C．A general introduction of the disease of ALS.
D．Life of the famous physicist, Stephen Hawking.
