3 . New Scientist magazine’s chief reporter Adam recently published “Net-zero living: how your day will look in a carbon-neutral (碳中和) world”. Here, he imagines what a typical day would be like in the future — through the eyes of Isla, a child in 2050.

Isla lives in the south of the United Kingdom and her life looks pretty much like life does today: she has a house, a car, a job, and a cup of tea in the morning. There are great forests, and giant machines sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. It all sounds like a green and pleasant land, but it didn’t sound like the future to me.

It’s an interesting exercise, imagining what it will be like in about 30 years. I thought I would give it a try: here is some speculative fiction about Edie, living in Toronto, Canada in 2050.

Edie lives in the garage in an old house that is her apartment and workshop. She considers herself to be very lucky to have this garage in what was her grandparents’ house. The only people who live in houses these days either get the houses from their parents or are multi-millionaires from all over the world, desperate to move to Canada with its cooler climate and plentiful water and are able to afford the million-dollar immigrant visa fee.

Edie is lucky to be working. There are no office or industrial jobs anymore: Artificial Intelligence and robots took care of that. The few jobs left are in service, culture, craft, health care, or real estate (房地产). In fact, selling real estate has become the nation’s biggest industry.

There may be lots of electricity from wind and solar farms, but even running tiny heat pumps for cooling is really expensive at peak times. The streets are unpleasantly hot, so many people sleep through the midday.

Now Edie is checking the balance in her Personal Carbon Allowance (PCA) account to see if she has enough to buy another imported battery for her e-bike. If she doesn’t have enough then, she will have to buy carbon credits, and they are expensive. She sets her alarm for 6:00 p.m. when the streets of Toronto will come alive again on this hot November day.

1. What does the author think of Isla’s life?

A．Desirable.	B．Unappealing.
C．Unachievable.	D．Exciting.

2. What will Toronto be like in 2050?

A．Many people will immigrate abroad.	B．Its climate will get colder and colder.
C．Electricity will be very cheap to use.	D．The house prices will be extremely high.

3. What might be Edie’s large concern?

A．The house problem.	B．Being out of work.
C．The balance of her bank account.	D．The energy consumption.

4. What is the purpose of this passage?

A．To point out Adam’s unreasonable thinking.

B．To compare the present life and the future life.

C．To imagine the life after reducing carbon emissions.

D．To raise people’s awareness of environmental protection.

5 . Our future selves used to be a riddle. Now, thanks to social media filters (滤镜), we can stare them right in the face. People fell in love with TikTok this month to share themselves “aging” in real time using a filter “time travel”. Set to a sad song, the effect shows the user’s face slowly getting older, complete with wrinkles (皱纹) and sunspots.

Camera filters that age you have been around for years. But advancements in AI are making the results more real. Doctor Aleksandra Brown said the TikTok time travel filter does well in guessing how a given face would age.

As we get older, our facial skin thins, fat dissolves (溶解) and gravity pulls everything downward. Not everyone is pleased about this. One of Brown’s friends didn’t like watching time fly past. She couldn’t stand watching herself age 50 years in 15 seconds-could life really go by that fast? Brown cried herself after using the aging effect on her own young daughter. She won’t live to see her daughter get that old, she pointed out.

For other people, the time travel filter brought up unexpected positive feelings. Actor Jonathan Bennett shared a video saying his own filtered face recalled happy memories of his late father. Nicole Loehle, a 24-year-old in New Jersey, tested the effect with her boyfriend. It gave her a new viewpoint, she said, she could imagine the relationship lasting into their old age.

There’s no correct way to age. But it’s important to remember that no one can stop time or undo its effects. “I keep trying to view aging as a gift.” Brown said, “Some people don’t get to age, unfortunately?”

1. What can people do with the filter “time travel”?

A．Find their partners.	B．See their aging faces.
C．Experience others’ lives.	D．Guess their future success.

2. What are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．Reminders of the good old days.	B．Reasons for using the aging effect.
C．Reflections on close personal relationships.	D．Responses to the aging effect of “time travel”.

3. Which of the following would Brown probably agree with?

A．It’s good to watch time fly past.	B．The “time travel” needs advancements.
C．Not everyone is fortunate enough to get old.	D．TickTok invented the first app with aging effect.

4. What can be the best title for the text?

A．TikTok’s “time travel”: slowly or quickly	B．TikTok’s “time travel”: backward or forward
C．TikTok’s “time travel”: to enjoy or to suffer	D．TikTok’s “time travel”: to develop or to drop
