26、Batteries are extremely useful. Many ordinary household items are powered by single-use batteries including TV remotes, toys, flashlights, and even smoke detectors. But what happens when the batteries are used up and have to be replaced? Many of them end up in the trash where the chemicals can get into the soil causing environmental damage. In fact in Australia, 97 percent of single-use batteries end up in landfills.
While batteries can be traditionally recycled, this involves using high heat to melt the metals that can then be reused. The method doesn’t allow for the repurposing of other elements that actually have to be mined. It is allowing valuable resources to go to waste.
Envirostream — a part of the battery recycling company Lithium Australia — came up with an innovative way to turn old batteries into plant fertilizer. While some of the chemicals in batteries are poisonous, the company engineered a new method that takes the micronutrients like zinc and manganese oxide out of the alkaline (碱性的) batteries by crushing (碎) them and removing the poisonous elements. Lithium Australia has tried to find a solution for these waste batteries that is better for the environment and creates better value.
The company began field trials in 2020, testing a fertilizer supplement made from the upcycled batteries on wheat and found that it compared well to commercial fertilizers. After that, they tested the fertilizer in soil that was lacking in the minerals. Now, the fertilizer has been successfully applied to growing tomatoes, avocados, and cotton crops.
Going from powering remotes to powering plants completes a cycle for elements that come from the earth to then go back to the earth. Recycling batteries for useful components and keeping them out of landfills is good for the planet.
【1】What can we learn about single-use batteries?
A．It is costly to extend their service life.
B．Few of them are properly disposed of.

D．Reusing mineral elements of batteries.
【3】What can be inferred from the fertilizer made from the upcycled batteries?
A．It may have a more promising future.
B．It might be more suitable for the alkaline soil.
C．It needs tests before being used for more plants.
D．It may lead to an increase in agricultural production.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．The widespread use of batteries.
B．Various ways to deal with old batteries.
C．The urgency of recycling used batteries.
D．A new way to turn old batteries into plant fertilizer.
27、Are you aware of how you are breathing? A study by the Federal University Sergipe in Brazil showed a higher occurrence of learning disabilities among mouth breathers, concluding that mouth breathers are more likely to have learning difficulties than nasal (鼻的) breathers.
While smell is a very important sense, the nose has other important responsibilities. When someone breathes through the mouth, they are ignoring several important functions of the nose. To name a few, the nose warms and wets the air you breathe to make it more suitable for your lungs. Nasal breathing also increases levels of nitric oxide (一氧化氮), a key molecule (分子) used throughout the body. Another very important function of the nose is that it controls airflow and helps prevent over-breathing. So how can you over breathe? Breathing in and out more air than necessary results in a state of reduced carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the blood. Brain function will be damaged when you breathe too much. The loss of carbon dioxide from improper breathing isn’t serious enough to be easily noticeable. But over time the habit can take its toll on the brain and body.
Patrick McKeown, author of the Oxygen Advantage explains that if we breathe a relatively small amount of air by breathing slowly through the nose, we increase the amount of carbon dioxide inside us and can deliver more oxygen to our muscles and organs, including the heart and the brain. Scott Jurek, one of the famous marathon runners in the world, says that for runners，one of the most important things to learn is to practice nasal breathing. Anthropologist (古人类学家) Wade Davis has studied and lived with fifteen different groups of native people. Davis was most impressed by the fact that these hunters never opened their mouths to breathe during the hunt.
In the animal world, mouth breathing is rarely seen unless it is falling ill. In humans, chronic (长期的) mouth breathing can lead to cavities (龋洞), gum disease, lowered immune function, digestive disturbances, poor sleep quality, and can result in crooked teeth and even poorly developed facial structure.
【1】What does the underlined phrase probably mean?
A．benefit
B．have a great influence on
C．damage
D．do good to
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A．Why the nose is critical to our body
B．How breathing patterns affect the body
C．How the brain takes in oxygen
D．What over-breathing is
【3】Why the author mention the three persons in paragraph 3?
A．To illustrate breathing patterns
B．To raise the awareness of the importance of running
C．To stress the significance of nasal breathing
D．To remind readers to breathe more
【4】Which is NOT the advantage of nasal breathing?
A．warm and wet the air you breathe
B．increase levels of nitric oxide
C．prevent over-breathing
D．lead to lowered immune function
28、Your alarm goes off on the first day of January. You force yourself out of bed and steadily walk toward the bathroom, where you catch sight of a pale-faced, sleepy-eyed “monster” in the mirror. 【1】. However, after a moment, you think. “Wait, it’s okay because today is New Year’s Day, time to get back in shape!”
For many people, the start of a new year signals the end of a period of overindulgence (放纵). During December, it is often justified by the planning of New Year’s resolutions to turn oneself into a fit and healthy human being. However, the fact is that approximately 80% of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned before February.【2】 While we may have good intentions when making resolutions, we are not actually making ourselves any more disciplined. Change involves, a degree of stress, and someone not mentally equipped to handle that stress will struggle to change.
【3】 One idea is to think small rather than big. Many people’s plans involve extreme measures, while in reality, change is likely easier in smaller steps, which allows for greater success. 【4】 30 minutes of TV time for two hours at the gym can be rewarding in motivating someone to work out every day.
Finally, set concrete goals. 【5】 For example, “I’m going to go running every day to train for a half-marathon in April” would be far more powerful than “I’m going to get in better shape this year”. Most importantly, remember that despite their names, New Year’s resolutions should be for life. Change takes time and effort, but with suitable strategies, there is no reason why you cannot stick to your resolutions permanently… or at least until June.
A．You seem to be over the moon.
B．Almost instantly, you step back in horror.
C．So, how can you make yourself more disciplined?
D．Instead of making a vague resolution, make a specific one.
E．Another helpful strategy is to design a personal reward system.
F．Given this situation, why should we still put ourselves under great stress?
G．Regarding why this happens, the answer is likely related to self-discipline.
29、A world-famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, has created the world’s first long-distance signing device, the LongPen.
After many tiring book signings from city to city, Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them. She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. Together they designed the LongPen. Here’s how it works: The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet(手写板) using a special pen. On the receiving end, in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机) and computer screens.
Work on the LongPen began in Atwood’s basement(地下室). At first, they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be. The device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. The investing finally completed, test runs were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006 London Book Fair. From here, Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City.
The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other potential applications. It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province. The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used.
“It’s really fun,” said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test runs. “Obviously you can’t shake hands with the author, but there are chances for a connection that you don’t get from a regular book signing.”
The response to the invention has not been all favorable. Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours. But she said, “It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn’t afford it.”
【1】How does the LongPen work?
A. It copies the author’s signature and prints it on a book.
B. It signs a book while receiving the author’s signature.
C. The fan uses it to copy the author’s signature himself.
D. The webcam sends the author’s signature to another city.
【2】What do we know about the invention of the LongPen?
A. The designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.
B. The basement caught fire by accident.
C. Some versions failed before its test run.
D. It has been completed but not put into use.
【3】How could the LongPen be used in the future?
A. To allow author and fan to exchange videos
B. To improve credit card security.
C. To keep a record of the author’s ideas.
D. To draft legal documents.

Writer Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature on October 11rh, 2012. The Swedish Academy, which gives out the annual prizes, d【1】Mo’s works as a mixture of fantasy and reality, history and the contemporary.
Mo, 57, whose r【2】name is Guan Moye, is the first Chinese writer to win the h【3】. It also came with a financial award of $ 1.2 million. “I grew up in an environment immersed in Chinese folk culture, which inevitably (不可避免地 ) come i【4】my novels when I pick up a pen to write. This has definitely affected -even d【5】- my novels’ artistic style.”Mo told the reporters s【6】after he won the award.
“Mo Yan d【7】the prize for what he has achieved.” said Eric Abrahamsent, a critic and founder of Paper Republic, and English-language website on Chinese literature. “Throughout his l【8】he has done much to develop the language and style of contemporary Chinese literature.”
A【9】China is proud of a tradition of literature and scholarship, few writers have won international r【10】. And for that reason, the Noble Prize for literature has always been an aspiration for Chinese writer. Mo’s win will shift the focus to more previously unknown Chinese works.
