22、A Swiss company that developed technology to capture (捕获) carbon dioxide from the air says it has started the world’s largest plant to do so in Iceland.
The company is called Climeworks AG. It said the plant began operations on Wednesday. The system captures carbon dioxide, CO2, directly from the air and then deposits (沉淀) the gas underground.
Climeworks says the plant is designed to capture up to 3,600 metric tons of CO2 per year. That is the same amount of CO2 produced by about 790 automobiles during a year, Reuters news agency reported.
The International Energy Agency, IEA, estimates (估计) that this year, CO2 emissions (排放量) worldwide will rise 1.5 billion metric tons to a total of 33 billion metric tons.
Direct air capture is one of the few technologies that can remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Many scientists see the process as critical to limiting harmful pollutant emissions. Such emissions, which can trap heat in the atmosphere and create higher temperature, are caused mainly by human activities. Many scientists blame this warming for increased heatwaves, wildfires, floods and rising sea levels across the world.
The new plant is called Orca, based on the Icelandic word for energy, Orka. It uses eight large containers that look like those used in the shipping industry. A series of high-tech filters (过滤器) and blowers (鼓风机) attached to the containers capture CO2. The captured carbon is then mixed with water and pumped deep underground, where it slowly turns into rock.
Direct air capture is still a new and costly technology. But developers hope to bring down the price by increasing operations as more companies and individuals seek the technology. Currently, there are 15 direct air capture plants operating worldwide. The IEA estimates the plants capture more than 9,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.
The American oil company Occidental is currently developing the largest direct-air-capture center. It aims to pull 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air around some of its Texas oilfields.
【1】What’s the main intention of the passage?
A．To introduce a Swiss company called Clineworks AG.
B．To show the links between Clineworks AG and Carbfix.
C．To tell us the largest factory capturing CO2 in the world is on.
D．To list the damages caused by the increasing amount of CO2.
【2】What will the developers of the factory do next?
A．Cut down emissions caused by human activities.
B．Build up a new plant to capture CO2 in the US.
C．Cut down the price by increasing operations.
D．Help scientists limit the pollutant emissions.
【3】Where is the passage probably from?
A．A diary.
B．A collection of science fictions.
C．A travel guide.
D．A newspaper.
【4】What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A．How the name of the plant comes from.
B．How the plant processes(处理) the CO2.
C．How the plant was first built.
D．How the plant gets its power.

24、 Full stops intimidate young people when used in social media communication as they are interpreted as a sign of anger, according to linguistic experts.
Teenagers and those in their early twenties, classified as Generation Z, have grown up with smart phones which they use to send short messages without full stops. Linguistic experts are now investigating why teens interpret a correctly-punctuated(加标点)text as a signal of irritation. According to experts, youngsters used to communicating electronically break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate message, rather than using a full stop, which they use only to signal they are annoyed or irritated.
In 2015, a study from Binghamton University in New York suggested that people who finish messages with full stops are perceived as insincere. The study involved 126 undergraduates and the researchers found that text messages ending in the most final of punctuation marks- eg, “Let's go together.”- were perceived as being less sincere. Unusually, texts ending in an exclamation (感叹) point-“I'm proud of you!”-are deemed heartfelt or more profound.
Research leader Celia Klin said at the time: “When speaking, people easily convey social and emotional information with eye gaze, facial expressions, tone of voice, pauses and so on. However, people obviously can't use these mechanisms when they are texting. Thus, it makes sense that texters rely on what they have available to them - emoticons, deliberate misspellings that mimic speech sounds and, according to our data, punctuation.”
The full stop derives from Greek punctuation introduced by Aristophanes of Byzantium(拜占庭的阿里斯多芬尼斯：古希腊早期喜剧代表作家、诗人)in the 3rd Century BC.

B.Teens used to use a full stop, but they don't now.
C.Teens break up thoughts by sending a separate message.
D.Teens consider a full stop to be insincere and formal.
【3】Which word best describes Celia Klin's attitude towards people texting without a full stop now?
A.Neutral. B.Subjective.
C.Approving. D.Critical.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A.Long history of the full stop.
B.New interpretation of the full stop.
C.Fundamental usage of the full stop.
D.Mysterious disappearance of the full stop.
