“Nowhumansmusthavecertainskillstobeabletooperatetechnologicaladvances.Wehavehadtoredeveloptheeducationalplanofourownemployeesandinthelabormarket.”(“Alba是人类和机器之间的合作作品，”BeaLion的导演路易斯·莫维拉说。‘现在，人类必须具备一定的技能才能操作技术进步。我们不得不重新制定员工和劳动力市场的教育计划。’)”可知，LuisMovilla认为像Alba这样的项目的人工智能是人机合作的结果，它们的出现要求人类掌握新的技能，并对许多工作和教育计划做出相应的调整；由此可知，LuisMovilla态度是客观。故选D。【27题详解】推理判断题。最后一段“AlbaRenaiisoneofseveralvirtualinfluencerstoattractinternationalattentioninthelastfewmonths,alongsideAitanaLopezandLexiLove,tonamejustacoupleofthemostpopularones,butthereisanentirewave,ofAIpoweredavatarsbeingdevelopedasawaytocutcosts.Theymaynotbemainstreamyet,butwithtechnologyevolvingatsucharapidpace,whoknowswherewe’llbeinacoupleofyears?(AlbaRenai是过去几个月吸引国际关注的几位虚拟影响者之一，与AitanaLopez和LexiLove一起，仅举几个最受欢迎的虚拟影响者，但作为一种降低成本的方式，正在开发一整波人工智能头像。它们可能还不是主流，但随着技术的快速发展，谁知道几年后我们会走向何方？)”中提到了AI驱动的虚拟形象正作为一种削减成本的方式被开发，并指出虽然目前可能还不主流，但随着技术的快速进化，未来的情况难以预料。由此可推知，作者在最后一段中想要传达的信息是：未来很可能会有越来越多的像Alba这样的人工智能化身。故选C。CIfyou’reaimingtocutbackonmeatandyouwanttobuildmusclestrength,you’renotalone.Now,anewstudyfindsthatswappingredandprocessedmeatforplantproteinafewtimesaweekleadstobetterhealthandlowerscarbonemission.“Wefoundthattherewasanincreaseinlifeexpectancyofapproximatelyninemonthslinkedto50%reductionofredmeatconsumption,”saysOliviaAuclair.“Whenitestodietchangestoimprovehealthandclimate,wedon’tneedtogotomajorextremesorpletelywipeoutfoodsfromourdiet.”Butsuddenchangescanbejarring.ForalongtimeKyleBacklundhadbeeninthehabitofeatingmeatatmanymeals,andwhenhecutback,hefeltadropinhisenergylevelandexperiencedsometirednessandweakness.Whenherealizedheneededtoincreasehisproteinintake,hiswifeStephanyMarreel—whodoesmostofthecookingandalsoeatsaplantbaseddiet—foundasolutionbyaddingtofu,vegetables,andgrains.Kylesaysheisnowfeelinggoodonhisplantfocuseddiet.Peoplecangetalltheproteinandnutrientstheyneedfromaplantbaseddietaslongastheydoalittleplanning,saysDr.ChristopherGardner,afoodscientist.“Ifsomeoneisconsumingareasonablevariety,meetingproteinneedsfromplantsourcesisnoproblem,”Gardnersays.There’sanenvironmentalargumentforshiftingdietaswell,Gardnersays.Livestock(家畜)requirelotsoflandandwater.Beefproductionrequires20timesmorelandandproduces20timesmoregreenhousegasemissions,pergramofprotein,paredtobeans.IfpeopleintheU.S.swappedbeefforbeans,thisoneswitchalonecouldgettheU.S.abouthalfwaytoitsgreenhousegasreductiongoals.28.WhatshouldyoudotoimprovehealthandclimateaccordingtoOliviaAuclair?A.Changeyourmeatbaseddietalittle.
