The famous British authors novels of the 1960s, including The Burning World, The Drowned World and The Wind From Nowhere, imagine terrible climate-based disasters.But theyre all too gent

11、le in nature compared with his first truly mature work, The Crystal World. In a sense, The Crystal World is a horror novel-instead of the horror happening to a person, its happening to Earth.HothouseBrian Aldiss Hothouse-a series of short stories published in 1962remains one of the most extreme visi

12、ons of climate change. In it, Earth of the furthest future has changed so completely that its nearly unrecognizable. Humans struggle to survive in this strange world o heat waves-which, admittedly, isnt very scientifically possible but is all the more wonderful because of Aldiss, unbound imagination

13、.The Ice SchoonerThe climate change in Michael Moorcocks 1969 novel The Ice Schooner is man-made in a different way： Its caused by a long, extreme winter that settles around Earth following a nuclear war. The book presents a world where a new ice age has resulted in a frozen planet. Theres nothing s

But it does warn, in its own way, of the disastrous climate change that humanity can bring to the world.IceAnna Kavans Ice, like Ballards The Crystal World, is filled with far more symbolism than the typical early cli-fi novel.

17、 MotorTrend to see the Tesla Cybertruck. Tesla told us that we were the first outsiders, and the only newspaper to see the vehicle. So its fun for me to disclose how some of us reacted after seeing it for the first time.Christian Seabaugh, Kim Reynolds, Mark Williams, Sean Holman, and I spent hours

18、with the Teslas design team on a warm Friday afternoon, at Teslas design studio in Hawthorne, California.When we left the studio and walked back to our car at the parking lot, everyone was quiet, lost in thought. We remained absolutely silent until we pulled out onto a busy street and saw regular ca

19、rs and trucks, in traffic.I was the first one to break the ice, “Can you imagine how crazy it will look when that truck is on the road, with regular cars?”And with that, my colleagues unburdened themselves. Here are some choice thoughts.“As a traditional truck person, I was dumbstruck when I walked

20、in. What is that? Origami（剪纸）？ A military vehicle or SUV? I wonder how will you see out of it? Wait, wheres the bed? I am still too surprised to think. I need a shower, a cigarette or a nap, in no particular order,“ said Sean Holman.“My first thought after entering the design studio was that the onl

21、y thing missing in the space was anything remotely looking like what I would consider a Tesla truck. Nothing else but the military-styled video game concept in the center of the floor,“ said Mark Williams.Tm impressed by how far Tesla was willing to go away from their existing design language. It is

22、 a high-risk design. It will dominate（主导）the conversation when it appears, and get good presale orders, but I wonder for how long?” said Kim Reynolds.“When I first looked at the Tesla truck, my first thought was that I couldnt believe what I was seeing. Are they images!? Wow, its really beautiful,”

25、n StudioD. The Design Problems With CybertruckCMale cockatoos（凤头鹦鹉）might be the rock stars of the animal kingdombut unsurprisingly, they mainly just do it for the female.The Australian bird is the only animal other than humans known how to make tools to compose music, a new study says. While other a

26、nimals, such as chimpanzees, enjoy drumming on sticks and logs, they dont make their own musical tools to do it.Robert Heinsohn, a biologist at Australia National University, first witnessed the behavior in male cockatoos in northern Australia in 1997. Then, he spent the next two decades videotaping

27、 the shy animals to find out if their drumming was truly music-defined as regular beat production, repeated components, and, of course, personal style. By analyzing the beats made by the birds, he found that the sounds were highly predictable, just like human music that had a unique style. The cocka

28、too was holding what looked like a stick and beating it on the tree branch, and every so often he would pause and let out either a long whistle or a sharp scream,“ he said.Importantly, male cockatoo primarily started drumming when they were around femalesabout 70 percent of the time, according to hi

29、s research, published this week in the journal Science.But Heinsohn did not found the females* reactions to the males music and the male cockatoos didnt dance, either, while they produced their own unique beatsan activity that usually goes hand in hand with music for many animals in love, such as sw

30、ans, cranes and birds of paradise.So Heinsohn thought such behavior may not be learned for courtship（求爱）.“It seems that they are open to the pleasure of rhythm, just like humans,“ he says. As soon as one male works out a pleasing drumming rhythm that gets the approval from the females, they would st

31、ay together to enjoy it. ” 28. What can we learn about the cockatoos?A. The females are the only birds that can sing.B.The males can make tools to compose music.C.The females dont enjoy listening to rock music.D.The males dance to music when they are in love.29.

33、 zoo guide book.C. A news report.D. A lab test report.DThis week, both the US and the European Union（EU） announced their goals for reducing carbon dioxide. The EUs newly approved goal is 55% below 1990 levels and the new US goal is 50% to 52% below 2005 levels.Their goals sound very ambitious. Howev

34、er, the numbers arent quite what they seem, depending on what baseline year for those cuts. If you convert （换算）the European goal to the American-preferred 2005 baseline, it translates to 51% below 2005 levels. But if you compare them using Europes preferred 1990 as the baseline, the 50% minimum US c

35、ut is only 41%, far shy of the 55% EU goal. If you compare the numbers to 2019, the minimum the US would be cutting is about 40% from todays level and the EU only 35%.Why different baselines?The idea behind different baselines goes back to the climate talks in 2009. Since developed countries have al

36、ready put lots o carbon pollution into the air and they still wanted developing nations that were counting on fossil fuels for economic development to abandon the dirtier fuels, a solution was struck for the 2015 Paris agreement that allowed nations to voluntarily choose their own goals suitable to

37、each country. Those nationally designed goals also included countries choosing their own baseline years. Naturally, countries tend to choose years in which they peaked（达峰）or near peaked on carbon emissions. For example, Europe, which took early action after the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, chose to keep tha

38、t agreements 1990 baseline. This way, Europe gets credit for acting early.“However, we should not just look at their numbers,” said Professor Nate Hultman from University o Maryland. The US goal includes methane（甲烷）and HFCs（氟烷）that trap more heat but dont last as long as carbon dioxide. He said incl

39、uding those in the goals allows the US to pick low-hanging fruit to better reach its goal.“Reducing methane and HFCs gets results more quickly than cutting carbon dioxide. But cutting them just buys us a little more time,” Nate said.32.What can we know about the goals for reducing carbon dioxide?A.

40、They can be very misleading.B. They are just influencedby baselines.C. They can be compared directly.D. They are too complex tobe compared.33.When did the US most probably peak or near peak on carbon emissions?A. In 1990.B. In 1997.C. In 2005.D. In 2019.34.What does the underlined word “those” in pa
