21、A small team of researchers has found that battery-powered trains could become economical as soon as 2023. The group argues that improved battery technology and cheap, renewable energy could soon allow battery power to compete with common fuel to power trains.
Most of the goods trains in the U. S. run on common fuel, spewing about 0.6 percent of total U. S. carbon emissions. In this new effort, the researchers suggest that switching to battery power could prevent these emissions.
Electric trains in the U. S. get their power from overhead lines — a system that is expensive and inefficient. The team suggests that batteries could provide a better option; more specifically, they claim that a single locomotive equipped with a 14-megawatt battery system would be enough to replace a train powered by a common fuel engine. They further claim that such a locomotive could carry a train about 240 kilometers on a single charge. This would consume half the energy of a common-powered train. And if the battery is charged using a renewable resource, it would reduce the carbon footprint of an electric train to zero.
Most current common fuel locomotives actually run-on electricity — the common fuel is used to power onboard generators. Thus, all that would be needed for most locomotives would be to replace the generators and add a boxcar just behind the locomotive to carry a large battery. Adding more boxcars with batteries would increase the range of the train. The batteries could be charged at designated stops, provided fast-chargers for such large batteries are developed.
As an alternative, battery-carrying boxcars could be changed for fresh ones at designated stops, greatly reducing wait times. The researchers believe that at least for the near future, operating costs would be somewhat higher for battery-powered trains, but they suggest the environmental improvements would make it worth it.

22、What is IQ—and how much does it matter? 【1】 In short, it is supposed to measure how well someone can use information and logic to answer questions or make predictions. IQ tests begin to assess this by measuring short- and long-term memory. They also measure how well people can solve puzzles and recall information they’ve heard—and how quickly.
【2】 But some students struggle in school because of a weakness in one specific area of intelligence. These students often benefit from special education programs. There, they get extra help in the areas where they’re struggling. IQ tests can help teachers figure out which students would benefit from such extra help.
IQ tests can also help identify students who would do well in fast-paced “gifted education” programs. 【3】 And the US government uses IQ tests when choosing who to hire. These tests help predict which people would make good leaders, or be better at certain specific skills.
【4】 Most non-experts think intelligence is the reason why successful people do so well. Psychologists who study intelligence find this is only partly true. IQ tests can predict how well people will do in particular situations, such as thinking abstractly in science, nearing or art. or lending teams of people. But there’s more to the story. Extraordinary achievement depends on many things. And those extra categories include ambition, persistence, opportunity the ability to think dearly—even luck. 【5】
A．IQ plays a role in how successful we become.
B．IQ is a measure of a person’s reasoning ability.
C．Every student can learn, no matter how intelligent.
D．Intelligence helps, but so does interest and patience.
E．It’s tempting for people to read a lot into someone’s IQ score.
F．In a word, intelligence matters, but not as much as you might think.
G．Many colleges and universities also use exams similar to IQ tests to select students.
23、In China, most sleep or bedtime procrastinators (拖延者) are workers on the soul-sapping and horribly common 9-9-6 schedule (9am-9pm, six days a week) who, despite being exhausted, use their late-night, post-work hours to claw back some sense of self, even when they know they should be sleeping.
My situation — two small children plus full-time job — is embarrassingly far from their experience, and yet many of us in the west find ourselves doing the same things. The revenge bit — which might be better translated as “retaliatory” — is that we are avenging ourselves against our busy lives, either by staying up too late or by not going to sleep once in bed, often because we’re on our screens.
Dr. Lindsay Browning, sleep specialist and author of a new book, Navigating Sleeplessness, agrees “I am seeing many more clients who describe staying up later because they need alone time.” In China, it’s young people working brutal hours, but in Europe, studies suggest it’s also parents and students. But sleep procrastination can affect anyone who struggles with stress, extended working hours or inadequate downtime, which, in pandemic times, puts many more of us at risk.
Earlier this year, Caroline Newte Hardie set up Peace+Riot, a family-friendly cafe-bar in south London, specifically to give knackered parents more support. But long hours working on a new business have exacerbated her revenge procrastination habit. “If I finish working at midnight, I need an hour, as I’m wired, even though I’m tired. Before I had kids I never needed time to myself, but now I need at least an hour to catch my breath, especially if I’ve spent the day in problem-solving mode. If I went straight to bed, my life would be just work-childcare-work-childcare.”
One downside is that sleep vacancy has been shown to make us more likely to procrastinate the next day. “But lack of sleep increases impulsivity, which increases your likelihood of sleep procrastination. It’s almost a self-fulfilling prophecy that the less sleep that we get, the more impulsive we become and the more vulnerable we are to sleep procrastination.” “The consequences of sleep deprivation are endless,” says Dr. Chris Winter, neurologist, sleep specialist and author of The Rested Child and The Sleep Solution. “Cognitive decline, cardiovascular disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, and numerous short-term performance issues — mood, concentration, memory, attention, decision-making — are all affected.” As Walker puts it: “The shorter your sleep, the shorter your lifespan.”
【1】What will Caroline probably do if she finishes working at midnight?
A．Go out to catch her breath.
B．Go on solving problems unsettled.
C．Spend some time on her children.
D．Spend some time on her own blog.
【2】What would be talked about if there were a following paragraph?
A．The complexity of sleep vacancy.
B．The occurrence of sleep procrastination.
C．The approaches to enhancing your sleep.
D．The necessity of promoting a healthy lifestyle.
【3】What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Why are we so bad at going to bed?
B．What is to blame for shorter lifespan?
C．How can sleep procrastination affect people?
D．Whether staying up later is acceptable or not?
【4】In which section can you read the passage in the newspaper?
A．Science.
B．Health.
C．Society.
D．Culture.
24、 Working at a desk all day may not be as bad for your, health as sitting in front of a television after work. According to a study following about 3,600 American adults, almost one-third of them watched TV for more than four hours a day. More than one-third of them spent between two and four, hours on TV a day. The rest watched TV for less than two hours a day. Compared to people who watched less than two hours of television daily, those who spent more than four hours on TV were 49 percent more likely to die or have a heart attack. But the bad health effects of TV appeared to be limited to adults who failed to get there commended amount of weekly exercise. That is around 150 minutes of moderate(适度的) physical activity or 75 minutes of strong exercise every week.
Annie Brown, a researcher at the University of Calgary, says it is possible that sitting in front of TV might be worse than sitting at a desk because people snack while watching TV. Some people stay up too late and do not get enough sleep. “Eating treats or lack of sleep could both cause weight gain and increase risk factors for heart disease. These factors could make people more likely to die early”, she added. Annie explained that “the evidence on TV viewing and health risks is strong.”
Arch Mainous is a researcher at the University of Florida. He said that it would be a mistake for people with desk jobs to think there is no need .to get moving during the workday. “Take the stairs rather than the elevator, or take a walk at lunch”, Mainous advised. “Leisure time physical activity is definitely beneficial, but walking more steps in the workday should also be encouraged.”
【1】What is likely to cause early deaths according to Paragraph 1?
A.Watching TV for over 4 hours a day.
B.Doing strong exercises for 75 minutes.
C.Watching TV for less than 2 hours a day.
D.Proper physical activities for 150 minutes.
【2】How does Annie like snacking while watching TV?
A.Attractive. B.Beneficial. C.Popular. D.Harmful.
【3】What may Arch Mainous advise us to do?
A.Have-lunch out of the office.
B.Try to get enough sleep.
C.Work out every day.
D.Enjoy the leisure time.
【4】What can be the best title of the text?
A.Overeating, overweight
B.Sit before TV long, die young
C.More leisure time, better health
D.Stronger exercise, healthier life
