21、Technology is likely to play a big part in reaching its climate goals in the future.
Fusion is the process that fires the sun. But some experts say it could someday power our homes. Fusion happens when the nuclei (核) of two atoms are subjected to extreme heat. This leads to the formation of a new larger atom and large amounts of energy. One problem is the process itself requires a large amount of energy. Developers of the technology haven’t yet performed a fusion reaction that releases more energy than it requires. In addition, running an electric power plant of fusion would require the resulting heat to be contained in an economical way.
Advanced nuclear plants would be smaller than today’s massive nuclear reactors. Experts say they could be used in rural areas and could take over for wind and solar power when the sun goes down or the wind dies. But advanced nuclear reactors are difficult and costly to build. Critics say they would also create more waste. And they would run on uranium (铀), which could make some advanced reactors more appealing to militants (激进分子) seeking materials to make weapons.
Currently, there are 15 direct air capture plants operating worldwide, getting CO directly from the air and puts the gas underground. The costs are currently high. But supporters say those costs will fall as the technology improves. They also say tax breaks for businesses could help the technology. But critics say offering large credits could actually lead to more plants continuing to burn fossil fuels.
Hydrogen (氢) can be mixed with natural gas to make a cleaner-burning fuel. This could power a fuel cell vehicle. Such a vehicle would release environmentally friendly water vapors.
So-called clean hydrogen can be produced using energy methods such as wind and solar. But those methods are more costly than “grey hydrogen”, which is made with fossil fuels. Geothermal power plants capture heat up to 370 degrees Celsius far below the earth’s surface. The heat creates steam that can turn turbines (涡轮机) to produce electricity. But the technology would need to greatly expand to become a major alternative to fossil fuels.
【1】How does the author develop the passage？
A．By analyzing the cost.
B．By introducing the values.
C．By weighing the positive and negative.
D．By following the order of great importance.
【2】What can we learn from the text？
A．Carbon Capture is in the theoretical stage.
B．Nuclear fusion has been widely used in families.

【3】What technology is suitable for countries having the heat in the interior(内部)of the earth？
A．Geothermal power.
B．Carbon Capture.

A．New Issues Facing Climate Goals

22、People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here, people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb need special shoes and a harness around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.
【1】What can we infer from the passage?
A．People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.
B．It is impossible to build up one’s body by climbing.
C．People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.
D．It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.
【2】The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is .
A．to tie ropes to your harness
B．to control your fear
C．to move away from the wall
D．to climb straight up
【3】What does the underlined word “workout” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A．Settlement.
B．Exercise.
C．Excitement.
D．Tiredness.
【4】Where do you suppose this text comes from?
A．A science book.
B．A research report.
C．A sports magazine.
D．A sports history book.
23、 When night falls in the Netherlands, lights dance across a farm and create a dreamy landscape. Here, in a field inspired by beauty and infused with photobiology(光生物学), art intersects with agriculture. Yet, there is more than what meets the eye; these lights also provide higher productivity and a more sustainable crop.
This magical field is part of a project called GROW and was created by Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde, who lived in the city and had a desire to connect people to the source of their food in an inspiring way. “How can we make the farmer the hero? We barely know where our food comes from,” Roosegaarde said.
His vision was to combine science and art, and in so doing, create a better world. Longing to offer the world light in dark times, he set to work in a 5-acre field of leeks(韭葱). He tapped into his own design concept alongside artists, a team of designers and experts at the Wageningen University.
Using the science of photobiology, the group discovered that certain mixes of red, blue and ultraviolet lights promote plant growth。The team then positioned LEDs in different places across the field. These lights move up and down in order to ensure the light is evenly distributed across the area。And when these lights move at night, they seem to dance, creating a poetic dreamscape. “It's very futuristic and also very romantic, in a way,” Roosegaarde said.
Aside from being beautiful and promoting growth, the team observed that due to these lights, they needed to use 50 percent fewer pesticides(杀虫剂) on the crop. This is because this specific recipe of lights activated the defense system of the plants. And as it works on all crops, not just leeks, Roosegaarde foresees a way to reduce the use of pesticides on many other plants.
Roosegaarde's project will soon be touring 40 countries, sending its dancing lights across the world.
【1】What do Daan Roosegaarde's words in paragraph 2 suggest?
A．People living in cities tend to waste food.
B．Farmers are seen as heroes by the public.
C．It's important to know the source of food.
D．Tracking where food comes from is easy.
【2】What did Daan Roosegaarde do for his project?
A．He invented low-cost pesticides.
B．He came up with the design concept.
C．He bought a 50-acre field of leeks.
D．He learned dancing skills in a college.
【3】Why are fewer pesticides needed on the crop with the lights alongside?
A．The lights kill off most of the pests on it.
B．The lights make it more resistant to pests.
C．The lights are too bright for pests to tolerate.
D．The lights are equipped with a defense system.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Plants Are Beautiful in the Light
B．Plants Are Great Dancers at Night
C．Art and Science Meet in the Fields
D．Dancing Lights Become Widespread
