The summer f 2023 was the httest ever recrded n Earth. Carbn dixide (CO2) emissins frm burning fssil fuels are the main causes behind climate change, and scientists say they must be cntrlled. But there’s anther greenhuse gas t deal with: methane. Tackling it may be the best bet fr putting the brakes n rising temperatures in the shrt term. That’s because it’s relatively shrt-lived in the atmsphere—methane lasts abut 12 years, while CO2 can stick arund fr hundreds f years.
We already have strategies fr cutting methane emissins—fixing natural gas leaks (methane is the main cmpnent f natural gas), remving cal gradually (mining peratins release methane), eating less meat and dairy prducts (cws burp lts f methane) and electrifying transprtatin and appliances. Implementing all existing strategies culd slw glbal warming by 30 percent ver the next decade, research has shwn.
But sme climate scientists, including Jacksn, say we need t g further. Scientists want t develp ways t remve methane directly frm the air. Mst ideas are still in early research stages. The Natinal Academies f Sciences, Engineering and Medicine is currently studying these ptential technlgies, their state f readiness and pssible risks, and what further research and funding are needed. Sme f the appraches include re-engineering bacteria that are already gd at eating methane and develping reactrs in methane-rich places t chemically transfrm the gas.
“Methane is a sprint (短跑) and CO2 is a marathn,” says Desirée Plata, a civil and envirnmental engineer at MIT. “While methane emissins are a significant cntributr t climate change, carbn dixide emissins remain the primary driver. Therefre, we must cntinue t pursue strategies t reduce CO2 emissins while als targeting methane reductin.” Fr scientists fcused n remving greenhuse gases, it’s ff t the races.
8. What is the best way t stp rising temperatures in the shrt term?
A. Quitting burning fssil fuels.B. Dealing with methane emissins.
C. Imprving current research methds.D. Cntrlling carbn dixide emissins.
9. What is the pssible result f carrying ut existing strategies?
A. Reducing the rate f glbal warming.B. Fixing natural gas leaks.
C. Trapping methane in the atmsphere.D. Increasing the use f energy.
10. What des the authr imply in paragraph 3?
A. The appraches are nt fully develped.B. The current research prgress is sufficient.
C. Sme appraches have been applied widely.D. Methane emissins can be remved cmpletely.
11. What is Desirée Plata’s attitude twards the idea f remving methane?
A. Indifferent.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Supprtive.

Advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled authentic-sunding speech synthesis (语音合成) t the pint that a persn can n lnger distinguish whether they are talking t anther human r a deepfake (深度伪造). If a persn’s wn vice is “clned” by a third party withut their agreement, bad guys can use it t send any message they want.
Cmputer scientist and engineer Ning Zhang has develped a new methd t prevent unauthrized speech synthesis befre it takes place: a tl called AntiFake.
Traditinal deepfake detectin methds nly wrk after the damage is dne. Hwever, AntiFake prevents vice data frm being synthesized int an audi deepfake befrehand. This tl turns the tables n cybercriminals (网络罪犯) by using similar vice clning techniques they emply, but fr vice prtectin. The sftware cmplicates vice data extractin and feature identificatin crucial fr vice synthesis. “We’re using an ppsite AI technique riginally used by cybercriminals, but nw we’re using it against them,” Zhang explained. “We slightly change the recrded audi, just enugh t make it unusable fr vice clne training while still sunding natural t humans.”
Ben Zha, a prfessr f cmputer science at University f Chicag, says that the sftware, like all digital security systems, will never prvide cmplete prtectin. But, he adds that it can raise the bar and limit the attack t a smaller grup f individuals with significant resurces.
AntiFake can already prtect shrter vice recrdings against clning. The creatrs f the tl believe that it culd be extended t prtect larger audi dcuments r music frm misuse. But the methds and tls that are develped must be cntinuusly adapted because cybercriminals will learn and grw with them.
12. What is the primary purpse f AntiFake?
A T imprve the quality f synthetic speech.B. T clne vices withut the wner’s apprval.
C. T detect deepfakes after they have been created.D. T stp unapprved speech generatin frm happening.
13. Hw des AntiFake differ frm these traditinal methds?
A. It prevents audi deepfakes in advance.B. It cannt detect deepfakes until created.
C. It nly wrks n shrt vice recrdings.D. It relies n human listeners t identify deepfakes.
14. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Develpers shuld fcus n shrt vice recrdings.
B. The battle against deepfakes requires nging effrts.
C. AntiFake is ineffective against advanced clning techniques.
D. AntiFake prvides permanent slutins t the deepfake threat.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. The Future f Vice Technlgy.B. A Methd fr Detecting AI Deepfakes.
C. The Challenge f Telling Human Vices.D. A Tl t Keep AI frm Stealing Yur Vice.

The summer f 2023 was the httest ever recrded n Earth. Carbn dixide (CO2) emissins frm burning fssil fuels are the main causes behind climate change, and scientists say they must be cntrlled. But there’s anther greenhuse gas t deal with: methane. Tackling it may be the best bet fr putting the brakes n rising temperatures in the shrt term. That’s because it’s relatively shrt-lived in the atmsphere—methane lasts abut 12 years, while CO2 can stick arund fr hundreds f years.
We already have strategies fr cutting methane emissins—fixing natural gas leaks (methane is the main cmpnent f natural gas), remving cal gradually (mining peratins release methane), eating less meat and dairy prducts (cws burp lts f methane) and electrifying transprtatin and appliances. Implementing all existing strategies culd slw glbal warming by 30 percent ver the next decade, research has shwn.
But sme climate scientists, including Jacksn, say we need t g further. Scientists want t develp ways t remve methane directly frm the air. Mst ideas are still in early research stages. The Natinal Academies f Sciences, Engineering and Medicine is currently studying these ptential technlgies, their state f readiness and pssible risks, and what further research and funding are needed. Sme f the appraches include re-engineering bacteria that are already gd at eating methane and develping reactrs in methane-rich places t chemically transfrm the gas.
“Methane is a sprint (短跑) and CO2 is a marathn,” says Desirée Plata, a civil and envirnmental engineer at MIT. “While methane emissins are a significant cntributr t climate change, carbn dixide emissins remain the primary driver. Therefre, we must cntinue t pursue strategies t reduce CO2 emissins while als targeting methane reductin.” Fr scientists fcused n remving greenhuse gases, it’s ff t the races.
8. What is the best way t stp rising temperatures in the shrt term?
A. Quitting burning fssil fuels.B. Dealing with methane emissins.
C. Imprving current research methds.D. Cntrlling carbn dixide emissins.
9. What is the pssible result f carrying ut existing strategies?
A. Reducing the rate f glbal warming.B. Fixing natural gas leaks.
C. Trapping methane in the atmsphere.D. Increasing the use f energy.
10. What des the authr imply in paragraph 3?
A. The appraches are nt fully develped.B. The current research prgress is sufficient.
C. Sme appraches have been applied widely.D. Methane emissins can be remved cmpletely.
11. What is Desirée Plata’s attitude twards the idea f remving methane?
A. Indifferent.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Supprtive.

Advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled authentic-sunding speech synthesis (语音合成) t the pint that a persn can n lnger distinguish whether they are talking t anther human r a deepfake (深度伪造). If a persn’s wn vice is “clned” by a third party withut their agreement, bad guys can use it t send any message they want.
Cmputer scientist and engineer Ning Zhang has develped a new methd t prevent unauthrized speech synthesis befre it takes place: a tl called AntiFake.
Traditinal deepfake detectin methds nly wrk after the damage is dne. Hwever, AntiFake prevents vice data frm being synthesized int an audi deepfake befrehand. This tl turns the tables n cybercriminals (网络罪犯) by using similar vice clning techniques they emply, but fr vice prtectin. The sftware cmplicates vice data extractin and feature identificatin crucial fr vice synthesis. “We’re using an ppsite AI technique riginally used by cybercriminals, but nw we’re using it against them,” Zhang explained. “We slightly change the recrded audi, just enugh t make it unusable fr vice clne training while still sunding natural t humans.”
Ben Zha, a prfessr f cmputer science at University f Chicag, says that the sftware, like all digital security systems, will never prvide cmplete prtectin. But, he adds that it can raise the bar and limit the attack t a smaller grup f individuals with significant resurces.
AntiFake can already prtect shrter vice recrdings against clning. The creatrs f the tl believe that it culd be extended t prtect larger audi dcuments r music frm misuse. But the methds and tls that are develped must be cntinuusly adapted because cybercriminals will learn and grw with them.
12. What is the primary purpse f AntiFake?
A. T imprve the quality f synthetic speech.B. T clne vices withut the wner’s apprval.
C. T detect deepfakes after they have been created.D. T stp unapprved speech generatin frm happening.
13. Hw des AntiFake differ frm these traditinal methds?
A. It prevents audi deepfakes in advance.B. It cannt detect deepfakes until created.
C. It nly wrks n shrt vice recrdings.D. It relies n human listeners t identify deepfakes.
14. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. Develpers shuld fcus n shrt vice recrdings.
B. The battle against deepfakes requires nging effrts.
C. AntiFake is ineffective against advanced clning techniques.
D. AntiFake prvides permanent slutins t the deepfake threat.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. The Future f Vice Technlgy.B. A Methd fr Detecting AI Deepfakes.
C. The Challenge f Telling Human Vices.D. A Tl t Keep AI frm Stealing Yur Vice.

On Friday mrning, I wke up at 6:27. My usual waking time was 7:01, granting me an unexpected thirty-fur extra minutes t study. As the best speller in my class, I was determined t win the Meadwbrk Middle Schl spelling bee and defeat my ppnent, Nathan Frtescue.
Nathan was a devtee f science and math. He wasn’t really a speller at heart; he was a mathematician. Nathan and I had nthing in cmmn except being gd spellers. Besides, he seemed t spell well withut much effrt.
I went t the kitchen and fund Dad making breakfast. I tld him abut the spelling test and my anxiety. He quizzed me n sme wrds, but they were easy fr me. Then he asked, “Hw d yu spell ‘argument’?” I cnfidently replied, “Easy, A-R-G-U-E-M-E-N-T,” withut a secnd thught.
Dad shk his head. I didn’t believe him, s I checked the dictinary. When I came back,he said I shuld thank him because that wrd might be n the test.
As I shut the classrm dr, a vice came frm the back f the rm. “Yu’re lking a bit pale. I’m afraid yu might nt make it thrugh the spelling bee,” Nathan said with a smile as he clsed a giant bk with dancing numbers n its cver.
“I bet a literature wrd will knck yu ut in the first rund,” I replied.
Then Ms. Hawking entered the rm, explaining the rules—ne miss and yu are ut—and the spelling test began. After fur intense runds, nly Nathan and I remained. “Olivia, yur wrd is ‘algrithm’,” Ms. Hawking annunced. I had never heard that wrd befre, but I spelt it: “A-L-G-O-R-Y-T-H-M.”

Ms. Hawking frwned and said that’s incrrect. My heart sank. I culdn’t believe I had made such a stupid mistake. Nathan, n the ther hand, lked cnfident. He spelled his wrd crrectly and was declared the winner. I felt a mix f disappintment and frustratin. But then I frced myself t smile and cngratulate Nathan. After all, he had beaten me fair and square.
After class, I sbbed when I felt a hand n my arm. I lked up t see Nathan standing there. He said, “Hey, dn’t be t sad. It’s just a spelling bee. Yu’re still a great speller.” I was surprised by his kindness. We started chatting and fund that we actually had mre in cmmn than we thught. That day, we became friends. We realized that even thugh we were rivals in the spelling bee, there was n reasn we culdn’t be friends utside f it. And frm that day n, ur friendship grew.
