21、 When it comes to the most famous 20th century painters of the United States, Grandma Moses should be mentioned, although she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself: ”I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me. " No one could have had a more active old age.
She was born on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At 12 she left home and was in domestic service until at 27 she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927,
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣)pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff(僵硬的)to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it,“ she said.

23、In 2019, the world generated 54.6 million tons of e-waste. However, just 17.4 percent of it was formally collected and recycled. Since 2014, the amount of e-waste recycled has grown by 1.8 million tons — a relatively small amount, considering that the amount of e-waste generated increased by 9.2 million tons in the same period.
Global reserves of some elements, such as platinum (铂), are supposed to be fully used up within 15 years if the proportion of recycled stocks entering production doesn’t increase. E-waste and EV batteries are currently recycled through processes called pyrometallurgy (火法冶金术) and hydrometallurgy (湿法冶金术). However, they involve burning temperatures with a high energy demand and deep carbon footprint, and poisonous chemicals which are harmful lo the environment. Alternatives are therefore being sought.
A team of scientists from the University of Coventry are extending one such alternative. They have been using non-poisonous bacteria to oxidize (使氧化) and recover the precious metals — a process known as “bioleaching”. They have shown that copper is widely recoverable from e-waste, and that all metals present in EV batteries can be recovered by using microbes (微生物). If extended, bioleaching facilities would mean that manufacturers of EV batteries and other electronic goods would be able to recover metals locally, relying less on costly exports to recycling centers abroad.
“At present, a key limitation for e-waste recycling is the lack of certification detailing the types and amounts of metals contained in electronic goods. But with an efficient recycling process appearing, manufacturers have the motivation to use more recycled material in their products, which will change the very design of electronics goods. It’s about closing the loop of a product’s life cycle,” said the leader of the Bioleaching Research Group, Sebastien Farnaud.
Ultimately, bioleaching technology is born out of the idea of creating a truly circular process for the things that we consume. We need to shift from a mindset and economy where we see waste as an end product, to one where there isn’t even a start or an end at all.
【1】What do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate?
A.People pay no attention to e-waste recycling.
B.The recycling rate of e-waste is comparatively low.
C.E-waste has caused serious environmental problems.
D.The amount of e-waste is sharply increasing every year.
【2】What is the disadvantage of current ways of recycling e-waste?
A.They only apply to certain e-waste.
B.They are not environmentally friendly.
C.They generate metals with a complex process.
D.They cause a sharp rise in local temperatures.
【3】What do we know about the bioleaching technology?
A.It has been applied abroad.
B.It releases no poisonous gas.
C.It recovers metals by microbes.
D.It promotes the local export trade.
【4】The text is most probably a part of _________.
A.a news report
B.a fiction novel
C.a health magazine
D.a scientific journal
24、Conversation begins almost the moment we come into contact with another and continues throughout the day with the aid of cell phones and computers. However, we are so often absorbed in conversation that we lose sight of its true purpose and value.
One important aspect of a good conversation is the words used to express thoughts and feelings. We are full of deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not enough for this expression, and many make little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that touches you deeply, yet you have the following conversation: “So, what did you think of the film?” “Oh, my God, it was so sad. I swear, I went through using up a box of tissues. I was in tears.”This dialogue is hardly an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no sign of how or why the movie truly affected you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However, not only must you try to avoid overused words, you must also be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the largest or most impressive words, but to find those best suited.
What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A thoughtful person will find that even in the most ordinary of conversations, there are a thousand questions waiting to be asked if you have courage and a desire for change, in order to seek out the person behind the mask. Good conversations should not be made up of nonsense, but of a meeting of two sharing the human condition. It should bring a purer understanding of others and offer a release of emotions more than drive away unpleasant thoughts or kill time. If we want,we can reach beyond the superficiality(肤浅)of talking into the vast kingdom of wisdom.
【1】The author used a movie as an example to show that ____________.
A. overused words can’t fully express feelings of a speaker
B. how and why a moving movie can deeply affect a speaker
C. only expanding vocabulary can describe moving experiences
D. the largest or most impressive words should he used by speakers
【2】“Seek out the person behind the mask” in the last paragraph means___________.
A. remove the mask of others B. distrust the others’ appearance
C. feel doubtful about the others D. get the hidden truth beyond words
【3】According to the author, a good conversation is ___________.
A. a way to free the unpleasant or pass time B. a desire to raise more questions
C. an exchange of emotions and experiences D. a route to the kingdom of wisdom
【4】The best title of the passage could be ___________.
A. Vocabulary in Conversations B. Art of Conversations
C. Ability in Conversations D. Importance of Conversations
