26、A major new facility to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere has started operating in Iceland. Experts say the new technology could eventually play an important role in reducing greenhouse gases.
The plant in southwest Iceland is the biggest of its kind. It is able to capture 900 tons of CO2 every year but it needs heat and electricity to work. It is using energy produced from waste and is built on the roof of a waste incineration (焚烧) plant, and through the burning of rubbish, energy is generated.
Human-sized fans are built into a series of boxes. They take CO2 out of the air, catching it in sponge like filters (过滤器). The filters are exploded with heat, freeing the gas, which is then mixed with water and pumped (用泵输送) into deep underground caves, where over time it turns into dark-gray stone. Pumping CO2 into the ground is just one way to deal with it.
The makers are also selling the gas to be used again. The CO2 can be captured just a few 100 miles away. It is pumped through an underground pipeline directly into a greenhouse.
Vegetables and plants love CO2 and higher concentrations of the gas within the greenhouse improve the growth of plants.
By 2050, humanity will need to pull nearly a billion metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year through direct air capture technology to achieve carbon neutral goals.
The plant in Iceland will be able to capture 4,00 metric tons annually—just a small amount of what will be necessary， but one that Climeworks, the company that built it, says can grow rapidly as efficiency improves and costs decrease.
“This is a market that does not yet exist, but a market that urgently needs to be built,” said Christoph Gebald who co-founded Climeworks. “This plant is really the blueprint to further increase the size and really industrialize.”
【1】How does the carbon capture facility work?
A．It needs heat and water to work.
B．Energy is produced by burning waste.
C．Carbon capture generates a lot of heat and electricity.
D．It produces lots of heat and electricity during operation.
【2】What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A．The methods of breaking down CO2.
B．The approaches to reusing waste gas.
C．The necessity of building greenhouses.
D．The workings of the carbon-catching plant.
【3】What can we expect from the future carbon capture technology?
A．It will decrease the cost of energy production.
B．It can help reach the carbon neutral goals in advance.
C．It will speed up the reduction of CO2 levels in the air.
D．It may replace the traditional carbon storage system.
【4】What is Christoph Gebald’s attitude towards building the plants?
A．Supportive.
B．Neutral.
C．Disapproving.
D．Uncaring.
27、The Future of Technology
William, a businessman, arrives in a foreign airport. He doesn’t show his passport. Instead, a machine in the wall reads the computer chip（芯片）in his arm. This contains information about him: his name, age, and I.D number. He exits the airport, and a car door opens when it “sees” him. The car takes him to his hotel. His room “knows” he has entered the building and it “reads” his body. He is cold, so the room becomes warmer. William then watches a business presentation on a video wall. When he takes a bath, the presentation “follows him and continues on the bathroom wall. Finally, the room plays music to help him sleep. It turns off the music when it “sees” him sleeping.
William doesn’t exist, and none of this is real. But it might be soon. “In five to ten years, computing and communications are going to be free and everywhere, in your walls, in your car, on your body,’ says Victor Zue, leader of Project Oxygen.
Project Oxygen has one big idea: to create better relationships between machines and people. The dream is that computer will learn to understand what people want.
So, what changes will there be at work? Firstly, the building will know where everyone is, all the time. You want to talk to someone? Type the person’s name on the nearest computer. It will show you a map of the building and exactly where this person is. You then call this person, who picks up the nearest telephone, also shown on the computer. If he or she is busy with a client（客户）or in a meeting, the computer will tell you.
Is all this really possible? Visit the Siebel Center, Illinois and see for yourself: computers in the doors and walls, cameras everywhere, the technology of the future, but here today.

【2】The computer chip in William’s arm contains his information except_______.
A. his name B. his age
C. his I.D. number D. his job
【3】The dream of Project Oxygen is that computers will ________
A. show you where the person is you are calling
B. let you pick up the nearest telephone
C. learn to understand what people want
D. show you a map of every building
【4】In the Siebel Center, Illinois, ________.

28、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
If a woman has an extra piece of cake, don't blame it on greed, blame it on her brain.
Scientists have found that women’s brains react to food very differently- and much more strongly - than men's. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food. 【1】
Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in King's College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional magnetic resonance imaging(FMRI), to look at the brains of eighteen men and women.
【2】 Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists. They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males.
The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non-food images. The team believed this means women think more about food than men tend to.
Dr. Uher said, 'This could be related to biological differences between men and women. 【3】'
Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor at Lancaster University, said, 'For centuries women have had a providing role - preparing and cooking food for their families. And it is part of that role to make sure the food is safe. They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA. If the female brain react to food because it historically has developed neural (神经的)pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. 【4】'
But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved. American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, 'Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的) differences or a learned process. '
A.Men, on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive about what they eat.
B.And experts are exploring how these biological differences can contribute to human health.
C.The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste.
D.But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure.
E.Food actually, is a comfort for women.
F.If a woman is always asking whether she's fat, it's because her food thoughts are mostly related to dieting.
29、Rayner Loi keeps a note on his iPhone with details of the fruit and vegetables that go bad every week at his home. That way, when he goes to the supermarket, he has a better idea of how many apples or bananas he actually eats in a week, and can adjust his shopping accordingly. He believes individual action like this is important to tackle the problem of food waste. But he also has higher goals.
In 2017, Loi founded Lumitics, a company that tracks food waste with the aim of helping hotels and airlines, which serve thousands of meals a day, figure out how much avoidable waste they are generating. Loi says most chefs can’t easily monitor all the food that never gets eaten and find it very hard to develop strategies and implement measures to reduce food waste.
Lumitics uses garbage cans equipped with weight sensors, cameras, and Al technology that can identify and track the type and amount of food that gets thrown out--including whether it’s spoiled, uneaten or kitchen waste. Later, Lumitics’ customers use the waste data to adjust the amount of food put out at a breakfast buffet, or cut back on buying certain ingredients. Loi points to company data that shows he has helped the hotels he work with reduce food waste significantly. That’s not only green, it’s good for the bottom line. Hotel restaurants often operate on relatively thin profit, “so any savings for them actually is really immense for their business” he says.
Loi and his small team are already working with major clients like the Four Seasons hotel in Singapore and airlines including Etihad Airways. Now, Loi is expanding his ambitions beyond Singapore: Lumitics is working to begin operations next year in hotels in the Middle East and in other cities across Asia. What they want to achieve is really tangible in terms of the number of meals saved and the amount of carbon emissions avoided.
【1】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．keep track of his food consumption.
B．buy less apples and bananas.
C．buy food in supermarket every week.
D．handle the problem of food waste.
【2】How does Lumitics work to reduce food waste?
A．It develops strategy and implements measures.
B．It makes full use of the garbage cans.
C．It recognizes and traces the food waste.
D．It analyzes the waste data from hotels.
【3】Which one is not the benefits of Lumitics?
A．It is environmentally-friendly.
B．It can help hotel restaurants cut their cost.
C．It can reduce food waste.
D．It can attract more customers.
【4】What can we learn about Loi from the text?
A．He loves cooking in hotel restaurants.
B．He is the manager of hotel restaurants.
C．He is ambitious to reduce food waste.
D．He is working with hotels in Middle East.

In campus violence cases in Beijing during the last five years, 14 percent of the offenders not only beat others, but also insulted(侮辱）them. They slapped(打耳光）others, made them kneel down, and in some cases took off other people’s clothes.
Violence at schools has been widely reported in media in recent years 一 the violence among teenagers has drawn public and government attention. On Nov 11, the Ministry of Education, along with eight other central sectors, published a guideline on dealing with school violence.
The guideline stressed that students with serious behavioral problems should be handed over to special schools. Or, in more serious cases, they may take criminal responsibility and be sent to prison.
“The common tolerant attitude toward violence should be changed,” wrote Jiaxing Daily. “When teenagers do something wrong, we should tolerate and help them when necessary. But all of this has a limit."
