In the context of global climate change, <understanding the carbon sequestration potential of soils> has assumed renewed importance. ① Soil carbon sequestration refers to the process of transfer of CO2 from the atmosphere into the soil through various sources, such as plant residues, organic solids and so on. ② The soil carbon sequestration significantly helps counterbalance emissions from fossil fuel combustion and other carbon-emitting activities while enhancing soil quality and long-term crop productivity. ③ <Implementing higher taxes on carbon emissions> can motivate businesses <to reduce their environmental impact and move towards cleaner energy alternatives>. ④ While in the atmosphere, the enhanced levels of carbon are highly undesirable due to its contribution to global warming and greenhouse effect, in soil systems higher amounts of carbon are very much desirable. ⑤ This is because in soils, higher amounts of organic carbon contribute significantly to soil health in terms of its influence on soil structure, biological composition and microbial activity.

* carbon sequestration: 탄소 격리 ** residue: 잔류물 *** combustion: 연소

We create sonic space every time we press “play” on our smartphones and CD players at home. Because we have an abundant choice of music, albums and tracks are set into competition with one another for our attention.

 

(A) This psychological quirk sparked the “loudness wars,” starting with CDs in the 1990s and continuing to the present day. Producers increase the amplitude of every part of the music, turning the variable loudness of a piece of music into what they call a brick wall, a final product in which every part of the track is boosted to the highest level possible.

(B) The loudest ones usually win, even if we think we have no preference for loudness. Our brains consistently judge louder music as “better.” Moreover, our brains also prefer music that has had its quiet passages amplified.

(C) The resulting sound file on a computer screen shows a tall and unvarying wall of intensity instead of the ups and downs of the volume of most live music. The overall impression is of louder, more present music.

* sonic: 소리의 ** quirk: (사람의 성격에서) 별난 점, 기벽 *** amplitude: 진폭

① (A) - (C) - (B) ② (B) - (A) - (C) ③ (B) - (C) - (A)

④ (C) - (A) - (B) ⑤ (C) - (B) - (A)

Work automation only rarely involves substituting a robot, chatbot, or AI for the human worker in a particular job.

 

(A) Rather, most work automation effects will reinvent the work. This will require that humans and automation work together, as some of the tasks <formerly done by the human worker> are now done by automation but many of the formerly human tasks will still be done by the human worker.

(B) Increasingly, the new infrastructure work combines humans with automated drones or sensors that take on the tasks of physical inspection and recording data. The human workers are left to focus on diagnosis and creative repair solutions, with the repairs carried out by remotely guided automated machines.

(C) For example, the traditional job of infrastructure inspector/repairperson for things like power lines or pipelines combines in a single job tasks such as physically inspecting, recording data, diagnosing potential faults, and repairing the faults.

 

① (A) - (C) - (B) ② (B) - (A) - (C) ③ (B) - (C) - (A)

④ (C) - (A) - (B) ⑤ (C) - (B) - (A)

The AIs, in contrast, seem to have little difficulty with the flood.

 

Knowledge is at the root of technology, information is at the root of knowledge, and today’s technology makes information vastly more accessible than it has ever been. Shouldn’t this help us solve our problems? ( ① ) The explosion of AI feeds the tsunami, turning every image, every text, and every sound into yet more information, flooding our limited human brains. ( ② ) We can’t absorb the flood without curation, and curation of information is increasingly being done by AIs. ( ③ ) Every subset of the truth is only a partial truth, and curated information includes, necessarily, a subset. ( ④ ) Since our brains can only absorb a tiny subset of the flood, everything [we take] in is at best a partial truth. ( ⑤ ) To them, it is the food that strengthens, perhaps leading to that feared uncontrollable scenario where superintelligence sidelines humans into irrelevance.

* curation: 큐레이션(목적에 따른 정보의 선별과 배포) ** subset: 부분 집합

But the physics of computer games do not have to be the same as those of the physical universe.

 

When objects move in a CG animation, their motion must appear to be consistent with the envisioned world’s laws of physics. Because the objects have no real mass or dimensions, their physics too must be simulated by an algorithm. ( ① ) Otherwise, the player of Half-Life: Alyx could accidentally run through a wall and emerge on the other side. ( ② ) The effects of collisions as well as the effects of acceleration and gravity must be simulated — that is, if the animators want the scene to look and act like our world. ( ③ ) Gravity could have any value the animators want, or it could be absent. ( ④ ) A ball could gain velocity when it ricochets off a wall, rather than slowing down. ( ⑤ ) Each effect will have its own visual meaning, creating a sense of realism or surrealism.

* collision: 충돌 ** velocity: 속도 *** ricochet off: ~을 맞고 튀어 나가다

The perceptual salience of a characteristic is partly due to the situation in which it is encountered. Shelley Taylor and her colleagues have found that solo status, such as being the only woman on a committee or the only Asian student in a class, commands others’ attention. In one study, participants watched a group of six students discuss a topic; the groups consisted of each possible distribution of men and women (e.g., six men, no women; five men, one woman, etc.). Participants then evaluated the contributions of a given group member. The results showed that the significance attributed to a group member’s comments was inversely proportional to the size of their minority group. In other words, as people become more noticeable in a group, acquiring more solo status, their actions stand out and acquire greater importance in perceivers’ eyes. This occurs even when the quantity of the member’s contribution to the group remains the same across the various group types.                              * salience: 두드러짐 ** inversely: 반대로, 역으로

According to one study, <having solo status in a group> (A)       the perceived significance of one’s comments in a discussion, [even when the (B)               of one’s contribution to the group does not differ across group types].

[024~025] [지문] 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.

Is the making of illusions, which is arguably what the developers of personal robots do, necessarily bad? For example, if an illusion is created in which the robot is a living being or friend, is this bad? Surely we do not have a problem with illusions when we go to the theater or a magic show. We are (a) happy to be “deceived” during the show. Before and afterward, however — and perhaps during — we at the same time know that [what is seen] is not (b) real. There is a so-called suspension of disbelief: people temporarily (c) accept a show or story as reality in order to be entertained. Applied to personal robots, this would mean that people temporarily suspend disbelief during the interaction with the robot in order for the robot to do its “magic.” Ethically speaking, then, one could demand from designers and those who offer the robot to users that users be made (d) ignorant that the robot is creating illusions, that what goes on in the human-robot interaction is “as if” and make-believe. This is a challenge for designers and developers, but also for parents, care workers, and others who offer the robot to those they are supposed to take care of; it (e) requires a kind of honesty about what the robot really is and can provide. This would go against much of the current advertising for personal robots, which are often sold as your   “friend,” supplying “companionship” and enabling “conversations,” and so forth.
