More ideas are also on the table.Giovanni,a marine-engineering researcher,is investigatingwhether an acoustic()black hole can help.Such an object,which aims to trap sound like blackholes trap light,can be built by fixing stcel beams to the inside of the ship.Laboratory tests show thiscan reduce vibrations like the best available alternatives,without the added weight or fire risk theseoften involve.Tom Smith,a researcher in naval architecture,says that technological solutions for reducing oceannoise are abundant.What is missing is a willingness for shipbuilders and owners to use them.Refittingships to be quieter is complex and costly,and not seen as a priority at present.That may change.Some seaports now offer discounts equal to thousands of dollars for ships thatmeet the highest level of noise reduction.Since the International Maritime Organisation has promised toreduce carbon emissions from international shipping by 70%by 2040,this may prove a good deal.28.What's the harm shipping-noise emissions do to a deep-sea animal?A.Its habitat is polluted by the emissions.B.Its way of communication is interrupted.C.It can't find enough neighboring animals.D.It has to travel a longer distance for food.29.What does the underlined word "untenable"in paragraph 2 mean?A.Impractical.B.Sensible.C.Irregular.D.Universal.30.What's the difficulty in adopting technological solutions according to Tom?A.The technology isn't reliable to be used.B.It may do great harm to the environment.C.It's complicated and adds to the cost of shipsD.It has drawn criticism from the government.31.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The importance of sound signals in the ocean.B.The role of shipping in global trade and its environmental impact.C.The challenges faced by marine engineers in reducing noise pollution.D.The impact of shipping noise on marine life and the potential solutions.D"My enthusiasm for this job is totally gone,"an Amazon worker recently wrote on Blind,anonline forum where employees complain about their employers.All this happened after Andy Jassy,thetech giant's boss,sent a letter that ordered staff back to the office five days a week instead of theprevious three days.Amazon isn't alone to limit remote work.A recent global survey by KPMG,another professional-services firm,found that four-fifths of bosses expect a return to the office five days a week within threeyears.The change in some tech,financial and professional-services firms is more dramatic.Ordering a return to the office tends to anger staff.A survey by Gartner,a research firm,found thata fifth of employees would leave their jobs if they were forced back to the office.For some companies,that may be the point.Getting some of them to leave voluntarily would reduce costs,though it also riskslosing talented employees.Many bosses believe having employees in the office leads to better performance.Plenty of studiessuggest that remote employees are less productive.There's less evidence,though,that letting staff workfrom home a couple of days a week has a negative effect on performance.A random trial at an onlinetravel agency by Nick Bloom of Stanford University found no difference in performance between hybridworkers and those who worked entirely from the office.Bosses may argue that complex tasks,such as designing a user interface,can require a lot ofcooperation that may be difficult to perform virtually.Junior employees may also receive less coaching if高三英语第5页（共8页）
