13、e of 19, the day after I graduated from high school, I moved to a place where it snowed and I found my dream job. For the first time in my life, I felt free, independent and completely in control of my life. That is, until my life took a detour (转折点) . I went home from work early one day with what I
14、 thought was the flu, and less than 24 hours later I was in the hospital on life support with less than a 2% chance of living.Over the course of two and a half months I lost the hearing in my left ear and both of my legs below the knee. I thought the worst was over until weeks later when I saw my ne
15、w artificial legs for the first time. They were so painful that all I could think was, how am I ever going to travel the world in these things? And how was I going to snowboard again?But I knew that in order to move forward, I had to let go of the old Self and learn to embrace the new Self. And that
16、 is when it dawned on me that if I snowboarded again, my feet arent going to get cold.Four months later I was back up on a snowboard, although things didnt go quite as expected: My knees and my ankles wouldnt bend. But I knew that I would be able to do this again if I could find the right pair of fe
17、et.I did a year of research, still couldnt figure out what kind of legs to use. So I decided to make a pair myself. My leg maker and I put random parts together and we made a pair of feet that I could snowboard in. Then in 2005 I cofounded a nonprofit organization for youth with physical disabilitie

32、uture line-up on August 3rd. It included: a souped-up, off-road version of the Ocean. Though Fisker says sustainability is one of its founding principles, it is indulging in a trait almost universal among car firms: building bigger, stronger cars, even when they are electric.There are two reasons fo
33、r this. The first is profit. As with conventional cars, bigger EVs generate higher margins. The second is consumer preference. For decades, drivers have been opting for SUVs and pickup trucks rather than smaller cars, and this now applies to battery-charged ones. EV drivers, who worry about the avai
34、lability of charging infrastructure, want more range, hence bigger batteries. That may help make for a more reassuring ride. But eventually the supersizing trend will prove to be unsustainable and unsafe.For now, carmakers can argue that however big the electric rigs, they have a positive impact on
35、the planet. Though manufacturing EVsincluding sourcing the metals and minerals that go into themgenerates more greenhouse gases than a conventional car, they quickly compensate for that through the absence of tallpipe emissions.But in the long run the trend for bigger butteries may backfire, for eco
36、nomic and environmental reasons. First, the bigger the battery, the more pressure there will be on the supply chain. If battery sizes increase there are likely to be looming seareitles of lithium and nickel. That will push up the cost of lithium-ion batteries, undermining carmakers profitability. Se
37、cond, to charge bigger batteries in a carbon-neutral way requires more low-carbon electricity. That may create bottlenecks on the grid. Third, the more pressure on scarce resources vital for EV production, the harder it will be to make affordable electric cars critical for electrifying the mass mark
38、et. That will slow the overall decarbonisation of transport. Finally, there is safety. Not only is a battle tank that does zero to 100 kilometres per hour in the blink of an eye a liability for anyone that happens to be in its way.Governments have ways to encourage EVs to shrink. The most important
39、is to support the expansion of charging infrastructure, which would reduce range anxiety and promote smaller cars. Taxes could punish heavier vehicles and subsidies could promote lighter ones.Ultimately, the industry is almost sure to realise the folly of pursuing size for its own sake. The penny is
40、 starting to drop. Fords CEO, Jim Farley, recently said carmakers could not make money with the longest-range batteries. His opposite number at General Motors, Mary Barra, has taken the unexpected step of reversing a plan to retire the affordable Chevy Bolt EV. In Europe, carmakers like Volkswagen a
41、re building smaller, cheaper EVs. Tesla is said to be planning a compact model made in Mexico. 28Consumers want EVs with more range and bigger batteries because _. Athey can bring more profitsBthey can reduce tailpipe emissionsCthey are more secureDthere are insufficient charging facilities for them
42、29From the passage, we know that _. ARising cost of batteries will increase profitabilityBConventional cars produce more greenhouse gases than EVs in productionCBigger batteries may create more pressure on the supply chainDThe demand on scarce resources in EVs makes electric cars more affordable30Wh
43、at is the passage trying to tell us?ALighter electric vehicles should be encouraged. BBigger, stronger cars are safer and more sustainable. CSupersizing electric vehicles have a positive impact on the planet. DEVs with bigger batteries may help make for a more comfortable ride. It is rapidly emergin
44、g as one of the most important technological, and increasingly ideological, divides of our times: should powerful generative artificial intelligence systems be open or closed?Supporters say they broaden access to the technology, stimulate innovation and improve reliability by encouraging outside scr
45、utiny. Far cheaper to develop and deploy, smaller open models also inject competition into a field dominated by big US companies such as Google. Microsoft and OpenAI that have invested billions developing massive, closed and closely controlled generative Al systems. But detractors argue open models
46、risk lifting the lid on a Pandoras box of troubles. Bad actors can exploit them to spread personalised disinformation, while terrorists might use them to manufacture cyber or bio weapons. “The danger of open source is that it enables more crazies to do crazy things, “Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pion
47、eers of modern AI, has warned. The history of OpenAI, which developed the popular ChatGPT chatbot, is itself instructive. As its name suggests, the research company was founded in 2015 with a commitment to develop the technology as openly as possible. But it later abandoned that approach for both competitive and safety reasons. Once OpenAI realised that its generative AI models were going to be “unbelievably potent”, it made little sense to open source them, Ilya Sutskever, OpenAIs chief scientist said. Supporters of open models hit back, ridiculing the idea that open generative AI m
