It was something you could feel with your heart, even when your world was turned upside down.I used to spend a lot of time with Granny when we lived in Cairo, next door to her and grandpa.
20、But times and things had changed. Grandpa had died; I didnt get to see dad much, and I dont know if Granny got to see her son very often either. But I knew she loved him. Love is like that; it can see past the pain.Though she didnt have much, neither did we, but she did something for my brother, Tom
21、mie and me. I will always remember; she saved her pennies in a glass jar. I am sure Granny could have used those pennies herself but she saved them to give us when we came to visit.

26、.CWhat does the world look like to AI? Researchers have puzzled over this for decades, but in recent years, the question has become more pressing. Machine vision systems are being used in more and more areas of life, from health care to self-driving cars, but “seeing” through the eyes of a machine i
27、s still a challenge. Our inability to do so could have serious, even fatal, consequences.New research from Google and nonprofit lab OpenAI hopes to further open the black box of AI vision by mapping the visual data these systems use to understand the world. The method, called “Activation Atlases,” u
28、nveils not only the abstract shapes, colors, and patterns they recognize, but also how they combine these elements to identify specific objects, animals, and scenes.Googles Shan Carter, a lead researcher on the work, toldThe Vergethat if previous research had been like revealing individual letters,
29、Activation Atlases offers something closer to a whole dictionary, showing how letters are put together to make actual words. “So within an image category like shark, for example, there will be lots of activations that contribute to it, like teeth and water,” says Carter.The work is not necessarily a
30、 huge breakthrough, but its a step forward in a wider field of research known as “feature visualization.” Ramprasaath Selvaraju, a PhD student at Georgia Tech, said the research was “extremely fascinating” and had combined a number of existing ideas to create a new “incredibly useful” tool. “Due to
31、the complex nature of neural networks, they lack interpretability,” says Selvaraju. But in the future, he says, when such networks are routinely used to steer cars and guide robots, this will be a necessity.28. The underlined part of paragraph 1 probably means.A. we couldnt do something to cause ser
32、ious results.B. machine vision systems are being adopted in more and more aspects of life.C. we dont know how the vision system works for a machine.D. we have fatal consequences from health care to self-driving cars.29. How does the research hope to open the black box of AI vision?A. By unveiling sh

35、search had created a remarkable tool.C. The research will be necessary in future to steer cars and guide robots.D. The neural networks were extremely fascinating.DEuropes electricity future could be both green and consistent, even as climate change warms the continent, according to a new study. That
36、s good news for Europeans who are trying to shift their power grids (电网) toward wind and solar power and away from traditional power plants.The study,published today in the journalJoule, investigates how the effects of climate change on wind, sunlight, and temperature might change electricity supply
37、 and demand in the future. Researchers led by graduate studentSmail Kozarcaninat Aarhus University in Denmark primarily looked at the electricity generation side of the story, including how much wind and solar power feeds into the grid.Kozarcanin and his team used six different climate models to inv
38、estigate three different futures: one where the world sticks to the Paris climate agreement that allows temperatures to climb only 1.5 degrees Celsius; one where high carbon taxes help rein in (控制) emissions to a lesser degree; and the nightmarish, business-as-usual scenario where we continue pumpin
39、g out fossil fuel emissions unchecked.They were especially interested in projections about wind speeds, sunlight, and temperature, and they calculated that, overall, electricity demand would likely drop over the course of this century because of decreased demand for heating in a warming world. The s
40、tudy calculates that electricity demand for air conditioning willlikely increase compared to today. But that increaseis a secondary productby the decreased demand for electric heating across Europe, Kozarcanin tellsThe Verge.Still, the results could help with planning and managing a renewable grid i
41、n a warmer future. If a renewable grid is designed to hold up to the changing supply and demands we see today, it should still work in the future.32. Europes electricity future could be both green and consistent because .A. Europeans are going to feed the power grids with wind and solar energy.B. Eu
42、ropeans have realized the effects of climate change on wind, sunlight and temperature.C. researchers looked at the generation side of the story.D. the demand for heating in a warming world decreased.33. Why will climate change affect the power supply in the future?A. Climate changes affect the power
43、 supply in the future by causing floods or wildfires.B. Europeans are trying to shift to wind and solar power supply.C. The electricity generation will be affected by the power grids.D. Climate change will cause the change of the demand of power supply.34. Electricity demand would likely drop over t
44、his century becauseA. the number of traditional power plants is decreasing.B. high carbon taxes help rein in emissions to a lesser degree.C. people demand less heating energy in cold areas.D. the increase of electricity demand for air conditioning is a secondary product.35. Through the last paragrap
45、h, we can guess the writer might agree thatA. a renewable grid has been planning and managing.B. a renewable grid will surely work in the future.C. the changing supply and demands we see today will affect the power supply.D. the results are helpful dealing with changing power supply now and after.第二

He wrote that the idea, which he deemed a “Depth Year”, immediately “caught fire.”The “Depth Year” was supposed to be a reflection on how our consumers tend to spread our aspirations too thin. Because its so easy to acqu
48、ire new pursuits, we tend to begin our enormous, lifelong projects too often, and abandon them too easily.38 , we never actually reach the level of fulfillment we believed we would when we first bought the guitar or the drawing pencils.Not purchasing new things is key, but perhaps more important, Cain writes, is the recognition that “depth” has a different meaning to everyone. For some, it could mean embracing wh
