21、Food made from atmospheric carbon could feed the world while helping to fight climate change, according to Solar Foods, a Finnish company founded in 2017.“We can collect CO2 anywhere,” said its CEO Pasi Vainika, whose company has developed a protein powder made using CO2. “That’s a strategic shift where raw materials are in the air. ” The protein powder, called Solein, can be turned into meat and dairy substitutes or added tofoods and shakes.
Solar Foods uses special units to pull CO2 from the atmosphere. To turn it into protein,microbes (微 物),similar to those in the production of wine and yogurt, will be fed on it to grow and reproduce. During the process, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen. Along with a growth medium containing necessary minerals, the three gases are pumped in to feed the microbes. Harvested and dried, that remaining mixture becomes Solein—a yellow powder made up of single-cell protein, with a nutrient composition similar to wheat flour.
Solar Foods claims that Solein removes most of the emissions associated with modern agriculture, which is responsible for almost one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions. “One kilogram of Solein sends out 0.2 kilogram of CO2e(二 氧化碳当量).In comparison.beef herds produce around 100 kilograms and chicken 10 kilograms,” said Vainikka. “ We can rermove the climate impact of modem food systems on the planet, which today account for about 30 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.” He further stressed that while the company’s factories also require some land used for industrial farming, only about one-tenth of the land is needed compared to photosynthesis (光合作用). “We could free up agricultural land to grow back forests,” he added, “and those remove carbon permanently from the atmosphere.”
Probably optimists are now contenting themselves with the pleasant scene of masses of trees absorbing CO2: on the planet. However, while that may sound great, Vainikka put it right, “It can happen only if we produce enough Solein from CO, to replace meat and dairy at a large scale.”And that still remains a long way to go.
【1】What can we say about Solein?
A.It is in the air.
B.It can be changed into meat.
C.It can take in CO2.
D.It is good for the environment.
【2】What are needed to produce Solein according to Paragraph 2?
A.Wine and water.
B.Water and minerals.
C.Mierobes and yogurt.
D.Wine and microbes.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Solein?
A.Its present situation.
B.Its possible benefits.
C.Its production process.
D.Its potential drawbacks.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Air Protein Produced, CO, Reduced
B.Collecting Air, Removing CO2
C.Climate Changing, Danger Coming
D.Protect Earth, Save Ourselves
22、 In Grade 3, we used to have a scavenger hunt(寻物游戏) at school. We gathered up chalks, pencils, stones and other little things. It was a close race. I was out of breath when I reached the clover (三叶草) area to search for the last, most hard-to-find thing: a four-leaf clover. I believed I would win. I had a trump card(王牌). The thing is that I have always been able to find four-leaf clovers. I just see them.
I spent my childhood collecting and putting four-leaf clovers into books at my mother's house. I started with her big cloth-and leather-wrapped books, like the complete works of Shakespeare. When running out of the delicate works, I began slipping those collected into anything I could find, like cookbooks. The same is true in my house today. Shake a book, and a clover will just appear.
Two years ago, while waiting at the airport, I found a four-leaf clover and put it into my passport. On the way home, my husband and I were upgraded to the business class. Friends owed our luck to the clover. I thought it was because a flight cancellation left us stuck for many nights and a customer service representative took pity on us.
People disagree about whether the luck lies in the finding or in the possession of a four-leaf clover. Some believe that the luck is lost if the clover is even shown to somebody else, while others think the luck doubles if it's given away. I believe that it is increased by sharing. I feel lucky to find the clovers so often, but I don't think they influence my life any more than it does to share anything a little special- that momentary closeness between you and a friend or a stranger, as you all lean in to wonder at a rare find.
Now I’m glad to share a recipe for quickly finding four-leaf clovers. I learned it from a friend when I was 30. She said, “Firstly, I love four-leaf clovers: their smell; their difference. Besides, do you remember those posters with dots? If you looked too hard, all you saw was the pattern. But if you let your eyes slip out of focus, scenes would appear. It’s the same with four-leaf clovers. Try slipping into a lazy, soft focus, skimming the clovers. Make your hand across clovers. Appreciate the ones with three leaves. And a four-leaf clover may come up.”
【1】The author thought she would win the game because she_______.
A.tried much harder to find things than others.
B.had a recipe for quickly finding four-leaf clovers.
C.got confidence from her experience of finding four-leaf clovers.
D.had done much better in finding chalks, pencils and stones.
【2】What probably made the author fly business class in the author’s view?
A.The luck from the clover.
B.The kindness of someone.
C.The thoughtfulness of her husband.
D.The extra payment for the tickets.
【3】How does the writer understand luck and four-leaf clovers?
A.A four-leaf clover doesn’t influence luck any more.
B.Closeness brought by clovers really matters.
C.Clovers will influence one’s good luck a lot.
D.Good luck may double if you give clovers away;
【4】Which of the following would the author's friend agree with?
A.Misfortunes never come alone.
B.Focusing one's mind is the most important to success.
C.To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.
D.Appreciating the common things may give a surprise.
23、Spanish language schools in Puerto Rico
Fittingly known as the “Island of Enchantment”, Puerto Rico is straight out of a Caribbean daydream. Among endless beaches, travelers are offered an unmatched chance to learn Spanish while bathed in the beautiful sunshine!

24、 Shanghai residents passing through the city's eastern Huangpu district in October might have astonished at an unusual sight: a “walking” building. An 85-year-old primary school has been lifted off the ground and relocated using new technology named the “walking machine.”
In the city's latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-story building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor (技术总监) of the project. The supports act like robotic legs. They're divided into two groups which alternately rise up and down, imitating the human pace. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, said Lan.
In recent decades, China's rapid modernization has seen many historic buildings razed to clear land for high-rise buildings. But there has been growing concern about the architectural heritage lost as a result of destruction across the country. Some cities have launched new preservation and conservation campaigns including, on occasion, the use of advanced technologies that allow old buildings to be relocated rather than destroyed.
Shanghai has possibly been China's most progressive city when it comes to heritage preservation. The survival of a number of 1930s buildings in the famous Bund district and 19th-century “Shikumen” houses in the rebuilt Xintiandi neighborhood have offered examples of how to give old buildings new life. The city also has a satisfying record of relocating old buildings. In 2018, the city relocated a 90-year-old building in Hongkou district, in what was then considered to be Shanghai's most complex relocation project to date.
The Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, posed a new challenge-it's T-shaped, while previously relocated structures were square or four-sided. Experts met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”, Lan said. However, he couldn't share the exact cost of the project, and that relocation costs will differ case by case. “It can't be used as a reference, because we have to preserve the historical building no matter what,” he said. “But in general, it's cheaper than destroying and then rebuilding something in a new location.”
【1】How does the “walking” machine work?
A.It uses hundreds of ropes to lift up the entire building.
B.It uses many wheels to roll the building to the new place.
C.It lifts off the building story by story with the robotic legs.
D.It uses sensors to control the movement of mobile supports.
【2】What does the underlined word “razed” probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A.replaced B.burnt C.protected D.destroyed
【3】According to paragraph 3-4, what can we infer about the heritage preservation in China?
A.The use of advanced technology leads to growing concern.
B.Shanghai is the pioneer in preserving architectural heritage.
C.The local government has already taken action since the 1930s.
D.It consequently holds back the progress of modernization.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.New preservation campaigns are launched in China.
B.Modernization poses threats to historic buildings.
C.A building in Shanghai “walks” to a new location.
D.“Walking machine” makes heritage protection cheaper.
