What's the truth f jy? I was bsessed with this questin when I was yung. Hwever, ever since I started my wn family, this quest has been buried under my wrklads and daily chres.
In 2008, Memrial Day weekend prmised t deliver beautiful weather — nt always the case at that time f year, s I decided t spend that Saturday shpping and d ne big cleaning, starting with the garage. Our tw-car garage, as always, was full f stuff. Bxes piled ne n tp f anther, bikes crssed tgether. A garden hse(软水管) sat in a crner. We had t turn sideways when getting in and ut. I planned t pull everything ut n the driveway, hse dwn the entire garage, and after it was dry, put everything back mre rganized.
With the mrning mving alng, the pssibility f finishing the cleaning within the day began t lk less and less likely. I recalled hw I had been feeling discntented lately while taking care f ur stuff. Here was yet anther time! Then my neighbr June, wrking in her yard, heard my sigh and said jkingly, "The jy f hme wnership, huh? That's why my daughter keeps telling me I dn't need t wn all this stuff."
I dn't need t wn all this stuff.
As I turned t lk at the fruits f my mrning labr, I began t recgnize the surce f my feelings fr the first time. It was piled up in my driveway. As I surveyed the pile I made, the answer t the bslete questin came t light: There is mre jy t be fund in pssessing less than we can ever find in pssessing mre.
I ran inside the huse and fund my wife upstairs cleaning the bathtub. Still trying t catch my breath, I said, "Kim, yu'll never guess what just happened. June said we dn't need t wn all this stuff!"
At that mment, a minimalist family was brn.
24. Which f the fllwing best describes the t-be-cleaned garage?
A. Spacius and well-lit. B. Neatly labeled and srted.
C. Disrdered and jam-packed. D Narrw and weather-beaten.
25. What can we infer abut the authr's recent experience with stuff-cleaning?
A. He went thrugh unaccuntable frustratin.
B. He figured ut his disinterest in cleaning.
C. He initiated it and enjyed the prcess.
D. He lst patience and rushed t the end.
26. What did June imply by saying "The jy f hme wnership, huh" in Paragraph 3?
A. The pleasure f pssessing a hme.
B. The significance f wning a family.
C. The cnvenience f having a garage.
D. The demands f maintaining a huse.
27. Why did the authr start a minimalist family?

In 1835, William Talbt finally succeeded in prducing a phtgraph f his cuntry huse. He declared that his was the first huse ever knwn t have drawn its wn picture. The drawing was frmed "by the actin f light upn sensitive paper." Phtgraphy ffered nature a "pencil" t paint herself thrugh ptical(光学的) and chemical means alne.
By the mid-nineteenth century, peple n lnger needed t hire a draftsman t draw detailed images because the prcess culd be cmpleted instantly with a camera. Advcates fr the technlgy stated that nt nly was it mre precise than the human hand--it was faster and cheaper.
The remval f human fallibility in the creating prcess was ne f phtgraphy's biggest selling pints, but this als started debates abut the new medium's implicatins fr visual culture. Culd images made largely by a machine be cnsidered art? If s, where did human creativity fit in this prcess?
As the twenty-first century becmes increasingly autmated, mre and mre peple attempt t identify where human agency(人类能动性) exists in the technlgically driven wrld. Images generated with artificial intelligence by cmpanies like OpenAI are stimulating questins like thse that emerged with the cming f the phtgraph. By typing a sentence, users can generate "new" images cmpsed frm images cllected acrss the Internet. The result has been a fld f AI-generated images in places that are previusly unique t human authrs. Painting cmpetitins, cmmercial graphic design and the fashin f prtraiture have all since cllided with the technlgy in trubling ways.
The fine arts were thught t be a final hld-ut f human creativity, but the surprisingly high quality f AI-generated images is prducing deeper questins abut the nature f riginality. If the histry f phtgraphy tells us, anything, it's that the debate wn't be settled quickly, straightfrwardly r by the institutins we typically assciate with cultural gatekeeping.
28. Why did Talbt. declare that his huse had drawn. its wn picture?
A. T investigate a supernatural phenmenn.
B. T weaken human factrs in the creatin.
C. T shw his advanced knwledge in science.
D. T demnstrate the beauty f his cuntry huse.
29. What des the underlined wrd "it" in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The pht f Talbt's huse. B. The image by a draftsman.
C. The paper sensitive t light. D. The technlgy f a camera.
30. What d OpenAI and cameras have in cmmn?
A. They imprve the taste f beauty. B. They advcate fashin designs.
C. They challenge human agency. D. They prduce riginal images.
31. What did the authr indicate by referring t the histry f phtgraphy?
A. Cultural gatekeepers will slve the issue as they did.
B. AI-generated images will g thrugh a similar debate.
C. The nature f riginality will be held in human hands.
D. The fine arts will include phtgraphy and AI images.
D
Gethermal (地、热的) pwer generatin is ne f ur mst stable renewable energy resurces. Heat generated belw the Earth's surface can prvide an almst unlimited supply t pwer and heat hmes. And while gethermal electricity nly accunts fr arund ne percent f glbal generatin, that is set t at least triple by 2050.
The Geysers in Califrnia is the wrld's largest gethermal electricity cmplex. It prduces enugh electricity frm its 18 pwer plants fr 725,000 hmes, ttaling 20 percent f the state's renewable energy. Superheated“ dry steam” is channeled frm a large sandstne reservir heated by a large magma chamber mre than fur miles beneath the surface.
Heat is captured frm its passage thrugh the rck and the heated water cnverts int electricity. Cled water is then recycled and pumped back t gather mre heat. EGS (enhanced gethermal systems) technlgies will pen up many mre sites fr gethermal energy.“ Yu can effectively put a pwer plant anywhere,” said Will Pettit, directr f the Gethermal Resurces Cuncil. "All yu have t d is drill deep enugh and yu will find ht rck."
Mst gethermal plants actually use a flash steam technique, where ht water (at 360F r180C) is drawn up, passed int lwer pressure tanks and flashed int steam t pwer a turbine (涡轮机). Binary cycle(双元循环) plants are the grwth technlgy because they can perate at lwer water temperatures and mre diverse gegraphical lcatins. They use mderately ht water t heat a secndary fluid with a lwer biling pint — as lw as 135F — t drive turbines.
Gethermal plants already emit 11 times less carbn dixide per unit f electricity than the average US cal pwer plant. They can als perate 24 hurs a day t prvide a slid base lad fr hmes and businesses.
There are drawbacks t. Seismic activity arund drilling wells is a factr. High investment csts are anther. But the US gvernment is backing the sectr with multi-millin dllar funds t push frward advanced EGS research. Gethermal energy is set t play a big part in the lw-carbn electricity future.
32. What is the significance f EGS (enhanced gethermal systems) technlgies?
A. They have made gethermal energy less sustainable.
B. They allw fr mre efficient use f gethermal resurces.
C. They have greatly reduced the need fr drilling in gethermal sites.
D. They have pened up new methds f generating electricity frm water.
33. What can be inferred frm paragraph 4?
A. Pwer plants are nt affected by water.
B. Ht water is used t pwer a turbine directly.
C. Binary cycle plants are less restricted t lcatins.
D. A flash steam technique is a must in gethermal plants.
34. What is the writer's attitude twards gethermal pwer?
A. Indifferent. B. Ambiguus. C. Pessimistic. D. Optimistic.
35. What is the main idea f the article?
A. Gethermal pwer is likely t be a great chance t sustainable pwer.
B. Traditinal pwer has been replaced by gethermal pwer in America.
C. Businesses have been cmpeting t gain an advantage in gethermal pwer.
D. EGS technlgies have cme int widespread applicatin arund the wrld.
