Is Hothouse Earth Avoidable?
Nearly 50 years ago, the Club of Rome’s report “Limits to Growth” warned that if economic growth
continued fast without regard for the environment, the world could face ecological and economic collapse in the twenty-first century. Yet that is essentially 14 . has happened. As new research for the Club of Rome shows — and the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states — the world 15 . well be headed towards disaster.
Many wrongly 16 . (interpret) the “Limits to Growth” as an attack on uncontrolled economic
expansion. In fact, the report argued that 17 . the unlimited-growth pathway was chosen, it would require complementary policies (including funding) 18 . (preserve) the planet’s limited life-support systems.
This argument 19 . (ignore). Instead, the world has continued to pursue fast growth, without regard for the environmental consequences. This has enabled us to make enormous progress in reducing poverty, increasing longevity, and increasing wealth. 20 . it has come at a high cost to the formation of the society and the restoration of the planet.
As scientists have conclusively shown, in the last decade, we have entered a new geological era, the
Anthropocene, in which human activity — in particular, economic activity — has been the dominant factor 21 . (influence) Earth’s climate and environment. In the Anthropocene, our planet’s life-support system is changing faster than ever.
Climate change now represents a clear and present danger. If our planet becomes just 2°C warmer
than pre-industrial temperatures, we may be placed irreversibly on the path toward “Hothouse Earth” — a situation 22 . temperatures are many degrees warmer than today, sea levels are considerably higher, and extreme weather events are 23 . (common) — and more destructive — than ever.

The Next Frontier: Using Thought to Control Machines
Technologies are often billed as transformative. For William Kochevar, the term is justified. Mr
Kochevar is paralysed below the shoulders after a cycling accident, yet has managed to feed himself by his own hand. This 24 . progress is partly thanks to electrodes, implanted in his right arm, which stimulate muscles. But the real magic lies higher up. Mr Kochevar can control his arm using the power of thought. His intention to move is 25 . in neural(神经的) activity in his motor region; these signals are detected by implants in his brain and 26 . into commands to activate the electrodes in his arms.
An ability to decode thought in this way may sound like science fiction. But brain-computer
interfaces (BCIs) like the BrainGate system used by Mr Kochevar provide evidence that mind-control can work. Researchers are able to tell what words and images people have heard and seen from neural activity alone. Information can also be encoded and used to stimulate the brain. Over 300, 000 people have cochlear(耳蜗的) implants, which help them to hear by 27 . sound into electrical signals and sending them into the brain. Scientists have “28 . ” data into monkeys heads, instructing them to perform actions via electrical pulses.
As our Technology Quarterly in this issue explains, the pace of research into BCIs and the scale of its
ambition are 29 . . Both America’s armed forces and Silicon Valley are starting to focus on the brain. Facebook dreams of thought-to-text 30 . . Kernel, a startup, has $100m to spend on neurotechnology. Elon Musk has formed a firm called Neuralink; he thinks that, if humanity is to survive the arrival of artificial intelligence, it needs an upgrade. Entrepreneurs imagine a world in which people can communicate using thoughts, with each other and with machines, or acquire 31 . abilities, such as hearing at very high frequencies.
These powers, if they ever materialise, are decades away. But well before then, BCIs could open the
door to wonderful new 32 . . Imagine stimulating the visual region to help the blind, making new neural33 . in stroke victims or monitoring the brain for signs of depression. By turning the firing of neurons into a resource to be used, BCIs may change the idea of what it means to be human.
五、完形填空
(★★)
How comfortable are you around water? Are you a strong swimmer or do you struggle to keep your
head above water? Are you comfortable venturing into the deeper water or do you prefer to move into shallow water where the bottom is ____?
Most people expose themselves to water and swimming situations according to their ____ levels of
skill and comfort. The same might be true as you assess your comfort level with different academic environments ____ a good college “fit”. Just as you might study a body of water to figure out its temperature, depth and current before venturing in, you need to ____ the difficulties, pace and depth of an academic environment —and your ability to keep your “head above water” if admitted—before deciding to apply.
When looking at academic difficulties as a(n) ____ of “fit”, you are likely to find that you have the
capacity to “get the job done” academically in a range of college environments.____, you are not likely to have difficulty with the “water” itself. You will fit best, however, at colleges and universities where your ability and preparation enable you to rise to new levels of ____.
Your goal should be to find academic environments where your levels of ability and preparation will
enable you to achieve well as you stretch yourself ____. These places represent appropriate “bodies of water” for you academically.
The best ____ of comprehension regarding your preparedness to meet the academic requirements
of various colleges and universities are your high school teachers. Because they are very familiar with your capabilities, your teachers can offer ____ help in identifying the colleges where you will find the best academic programs for you.
Assuming you are able to find appropriate environments academically, you then need to assess the
____ of your school reports for admission to those colleges. How does your academic record (grades and test scores) pile up against those of other students who will be ____, most (about 90%) of whom are just like you in that they can do the work too?
You need to be honest in ____ this part of the picture, especially if you are considering colleges that
can be highly selective and tend to admit very small percentages of the students who apply. A lot of students get in over their heads competitively when they fail to consider the real odds of gaining admission. While you might feel you are a ____ candidate at schools that can be very choosy, the reality is that you need to be in the top 25 percent of applicant pools at such schools to have a fighting chance of being admitted. By the way, you don’t ____ your chances of getting into at least one such school by applying to a dozen of them!
34 . A ．tough B．mysterious C．visible D．different
35 . A ．explosive B．respective C．potential D．reasonable
