26、   Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much easier to store.

Carbon capture isn’t new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed (压缩) into liquid and then put into underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.

This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst ( 催化剂 ) that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is dissolved (溶解) in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.

What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.

In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode ( 电极 ), which opens up a world of possibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.”

【1】Why have the previous methods been limited?

A.Because CO2 is difficult to be compressed into liquid.

B.Because CO2 is not easily collected.

C.Because much space underground has to be taken up to store CO2.

D.Because the liquid of CO2 might leak.

【2】What is most special about the new method?

A.The process involves a liquid metal catalyst.

B.CO2 gas can produce electricity during the process.

C.The process happens at normal temperature.

D.CO2 is stored in the form of solid pieces.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.The method will make a difference in the future industry.

B.CO2 will replace the traditional fuel in the future.

C.The side benefits of the process have been applied widely.

D.The method will be used to make new vehicles.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Carbon dioxide damaging our planet

B.A new carbon capture technology

C.A new Australian discovery

D.How to store carbon dioxide

27、Nobel prize-winners, legendary(传奇的)authors, and famous scientists—you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that’s not always the case.

While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers” —people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.

This idea of “peaking” at different times inspired new research from the United States. “Many people believe that creativity is exclusively(独有地)associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about,” said Bruce Weinberg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.

According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, there are two types of people: conceptual(概念的)and experimental thinkers.

To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks.

Some peaked from ages 25—29. Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.

The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions.

“Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach,” said Weinberg. He added that their study isn’t limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative disciplines(知识领域). So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.

【1】What did the study from the US find?

A．Young people are not necessarily more creative than old people.

B．Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking.

C．People’s creative peak in their life is related to their job type.

D．Conceptual and experimental thinkers hit their peaks at different times.

【2】What is the characteristic of conceptual thinkers?

A．They tend to challenge conventional rules.

B．They are creative due to their young ages.

C．They are likely to follow traditional rules.

D．They fail to come up with new ideas.

【3】What do we know about experimental thinkers?

A．Their talents usually bloom in their 20s.

B．They are good at doing experiments.

C．They work out new methods based on experience.

D．They are more successful than conceptual thinkers.

【4】What would Weinberg probably agree with?

A．It’s difficult to find one’s talent in later years.

B．More research needs to be done about creative peaks.

C．Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field.

D．Experimental thinkers from other fields may succeed in their 50s.

28、Sleep to Lose Weight

A recent study found that people who sleep less tend to be fat. Experts said it's time to find out if more sleep can fight obesity.

Nowadays, the most popular method to keep fit is doing more exercise and eating less. Some people even take weight-loss drugs to keep slim, which is unhealthy and harmful to your body. " 【1】As a result, we’ve failed to recognize the value of good sleep," said a physician.

Men sleep an average of 27 minutes less than women, and overweight and fat patients sleep less than patients with normal weights. In general, fat people just sleep about 1.8 hours less a week than those with normal weights.【2】Only an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night contributes to a lower BODY MASS INDEX （身体质量指数）.

We caution that this study does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between limited sleep and fatness.【3】Therefore, let's stay thin by sleeping more!

Here are some other advantages of sleeping more.

• You'll learn better.

This isn't just for children. Adults who get enough sleep also do better on tests of short-term memory.

•【4】

After getting enough sleep, you will find yourself feeling happy and delighted.

• Lower stress.

【5】With that people can better control their blood pressure.

A．Better mood.

B．You will be energized.

C．Sleep can definitely reduce levels of stress.

D．We've put so much emphasis on diet and exercise.

E．The study is intended to offer a healthy way to help people sleep longer.

F．The experts suggest that too much extension of sleep time not be necessary.

G．However, investigations of successful weight loss by sleeping more help prove such a connection.

29、An immigrant is a person who has come to live permanently in a foreign country.【1】.

Immigrants move to other countries for different reasons. Some people move because of war, political or economic problems, or natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods.【2】, while others are looking for better living conditions.

Where are immigrants moving from? 【3】? One of the largest immigration flows is from Latin America and Asia to the United States. Another immigrant flow is from Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Republics and North Africa to Western Europe. Many immigrants also move from Africa and Asia to the Middle East. In countries such as Saudi Arabia, 90%of the total population is now foreign born.

【4】, they often live in urban neighborhoods. As a result of immigration, many city neighborhoods change. Immigrants open new stores, restaurants and other businesses. For example, the historic Esquilino neighborhood in Rome is now the home of a large number of Chinese immigrants. There are also many new immigrants from Albanian, Moldova, Bulgaria and Ukraine. In some schools in Athens, 50% of the children are foreign born.【5】. In Los Angeles, 37% of the population is foreign born, and children in the public schools speak 82 different languages. In New York,40%of the population is foreign, and children speak 140 different languages in the schools.

A．And what countries are they moving to

B．When immigrants arrive in a new country

C．Immigrants have contributed to British culture in many ways

D．Some immigrants are reunited with their families or get married

E．More than 145 million immigrants live outside their native countries

35、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.

The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.

Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks in complete 【3】 of the stock market.

"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that cannot be 【4】. The expression comes from the idea that water that has 【5】 a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is 【6】 by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.

Another common expression, "to hold water," is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from the way of testing the 【7】 of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your 【8】 can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and can not be 【9】.

"Throwing cold water" also is an expression that deals with an idea or 【10】. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But you wife "throws cold water" on the idea, because she says a new car costs too much

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
