Imagine you can open your fridge, open an app on your phone and immediately know which items
will go bad soon. This is one of the applications that a new technology developed by engineers at the
University of California San Diego would enable.
The technology combines a chip (芯片) integrated into product packaging and a software update on
your phone. The phone becomes capable of identifying objects based on signals the chip sends out from
specific frequencies, in this case Bluetooth or WiFi. In an industrial setting, a smartphone equipped with
the software update could be used as a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader.
The work uses breakthroughs in backscatter (反向散射) communication, which uses signals already
generated by your smartphone and re-directs them back in a format your phone can understand.
Effectively, this technique uses less power than the latest technology to generate WiFi signals.
The custom chip, which is roughly the size of a grain of sand and costs only a few pennies to produce,
needs so little power that it can be entirely powered by LTE signals, a technique for wireless broadband
communication for mobile devices. The chip turns Bluetooth signals into WiFi signals, which can in turn
be detected by a smartphone with that specific software update.
The technology’s broader promise is the development of devices that do not need batteries because
they can harvest power from LTE signals instead. This in turn would lead to devices that are significantly
less expensive that last longer, said Dinesh Bharadia, one of the paper’s senior authors.“E-waste, especially batteries, is one of the biggest problems the planet is facing, after climate
change,” Bharadia said.
For future research, the team will integrate this technology into other projects to demonstrate its
capabilities, and they also hope to commercialize it, either through a startup or through an industry partner.
24．How does the chip link up with the phone?
A．By providing power for the phone. B．By producing LTE signals for the phone.
C．By sending WiFi signals back to the phone. D．By giving Bluetooth signals to the phone.
25．What is the potential of the technology according to Bharadia?
A．Making batteries cheap. B．Cutting down e-waste.
C．Supplying power to LTE signals. D．Decreasing the cost of LTE signals.
26．What will the team do in the future?
A．Invest in new technologies. B．Put the technology to market.
C．Improve the quality of the device. D．Commercialize more research projects.
27．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Backscatter communication makes the best of smartphones
B．Smartphones need to be equipped with soft updates
C．RFID readers obtain new chips and have new functions
D．New technology turns smartphones into RFID readers
C
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology (EdTech) has brought
convenience and efficiency beyond comparison to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these
advancements, it is crucial to recognize the challenges these AI-driven tools pose to the autonomy and
professional judgment of instructors.
One of its primary concerns is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-
packaged digital content and standardized solutions, leaving insufficient room for instructors to tailor their
teaching methods. Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of
experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs.
However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach
that fails to inspire students to reach their maximum potential.
EdTech companies offer step-by-step solutions to textbook problems. These are intended to act as
study aids. However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions withoutcomprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become
widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate
with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of their learning outcomes.
The implications of this depersonalization and the increase in academic dishonesty are far-reaching.
By decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk
of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Education should
not only focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and
apply that knowledge in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorize
information. Through dynamic classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities,
instructors play a crucial role in developing these essential skills.
While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance
of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged
content and standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and
customize their approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology.
28．What can the underlined words “the depersonalization of instruction” in paragraph 2 be replaced?
A．The one-size-fits-all approach. B．Instructors’ dependence on Al.
C．Insufficient resources of Al-driven tools. D．Tailored methods for individuals.
29．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．A possible solution.
B．A further problem.
C．A well-meant intention.
D．A suggested application
30．In what aspect do students suffer most with AI-driven EdTech education?
A．Thinking skills. B．Teamwork building.
C．Interest development. D．Knowledge acquisition.
31．What is conveyed about Al-driven EdTech tools in the last paragraph?
A．They should be used widely.
B．Their benefits deserve our attention.
C．Their resources need enriching.
D．They should support instructor autonomy.
DA recent study has found that using wood for construction instead of concrete and steel can reduce
emissions. But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false
foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). “Only a small percentage of the wood gets
into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and
steel in a building,” he says. Efficiencies vary in different countries, but large amounts of a harvested tree
are left to be divided into parts, used in short-lived products like paper or burned for energy, all of which
generate emissions.
In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled how using
more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions
from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards
construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.
Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But each case
required what they considered an unrealistically high portion of the wood going towards construction, as
well as rapid growth only seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they found a large increase in
global demand for wood would probably lead to rising emissions for decades. Accounting for emissions in
this way, the researchers reported in a related paper that increasing forest harvests between 2010 and 2050
would add emissions equal to roughly 10 percent of total annual emissions.
Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising
demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest. “Boosting the
efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer lived purposes than paper would cut
emissions,” he says. “We cannot just say we should stop using wood.”
32．What is wrong with previous researches according to Searchinger?
A．They got wrong statistics. B．They used an incorrect concept.
C．They included too many factors. D．They were applied in limited countries.
33．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．The process of the new research. B．The background of the new study.
C．The challenge of the new research. D．The achievements of the new study.
34．When will the emissions drop off greatly according to the new study?
A．When wood grows slowly.
B．When wood is used to make paper.
C．When wood is used to build a house.D．When wood is harvested in countries like Brazil.
35．What is Ali Amiri’s attitude toward the new result?
A．Favorable. B．Doubtful. C．Critical. D．Objective.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had a secret. I had been thinking about the decision for some time, but hadn’t discussed it with
anyone. As an English Language Arts teacher in my fourth year, I had to leave my beloved profession.
I kept praying for a sign to stay, but my father was very ill and needed someone to take care of him.
Although many students liked my class and I had received hundreds of letters from former students
appreciating my influence on their lives, I still made this difficult decision.
It was nearing the end of what I had come to think of as my last year. A senior named Lyric, who was
my assistant, asked if I could meet him and another student named Ari for dinner to discuss how to prepare
for college. I agreed but didn’t think anything of it.
It was on a Saturday evening and my schedule for that day was already packed. I attended an
academic conference that morning and then spent the next four hours at the boys’ basketball game where I
was the assistant coach of the school team. By the time the game ended, I had about an hour to get to the
dinner. I was so tired that I almost called Lyric to re-schedule. But I had promised, so I got in my car and
headed to the restaurant.
As I was walking up to the restaurant, I saw Lyric, Ari, and Sal, another former student, all dressed
up. I asked Lyric, “Why are you guys so dressed up?” He responded, “Follow us and you’ll see. “The three
of them led me to the outside patio (露台) where there was a long table full of some forty students. They
had decorated the patio with fairy lights and flowers, and the table was adorned (装饰) with a beautiful
tablecloth and candles. They had even prepared my favorite dishes and drinks!
