文章大意：这是一篇说明文，燃烧煤炭作为一种产生热量和电力的方式可能已经不再受欢迎，但这并不意味着这种材料不再有任何有价值的用途。

阿卜社拉国王科技大学的研究团队发现煤炭可以用于海水脱盐。

21. The burning of coal may be falling out of favor as a means of generating heat and electricity, but that doesn’t mean it no longer has valuable uses. The team of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is using coal for a new economy.
The project is led by Associate Professor Andrea Fratalocchi. While reading about challenges of ending the use of coal in power generation, Fratalocchi was struck by a novel possible use for coal. “Why don’t we use coal for seawater desalination(脱盐)?” Fratalocchi recalls, still excited. Capable of taking in sunlight, the black mineral adds to the list of substances in dark colors serving the purpose, which the team is on a long-standing hunt for.
Fratalocchi and his team began to explore the use of a material known as carbonized compressed powder(压缩粉末), also CCP, which is created by breaking coal into powder, and then pressing that powder back into a solid that has more tiny holes—it can also be made into a desired shape. The team combined CCP with natural cotton fibers, producing a block which was then placed within a seawater-containing container, with its bottom touching water surface. While sunlight heated the black surface of the block, the inside fibers helped water flow in and through the block from the bottom. When that liquid water reached the hot surface, it turned into steam which rose and condensed(冷凝) on the inside of a specially shaped cover. That condensation then flew down the cover and was collected as fresh, drinkable water. The seawater’s s alt content remained behind within the CCP. A
simple wash was enough to remove most of it, so the material could be reused multiple times.
KAUST has partnered with the Dutch start-up PERA Complexity to promote the technology. The material will see its firs t use in a pilot plant in Brazil. “CCP is abundant in nature and reasonable to use, besides being lightweight and highly changeable,” says team member Marcella Bonifazi. “The device’s desalination rate per unit of raw material is two to three times higher than that of any other solar desalination system, but it produces fresh water at around one-third the expense of current state-of-the-art technologies.”
1. What is Fratalocchi’s team seeking for?
A．Fibers functioning well with CCP.
B．Green ways to desalinate seawater.
C．Novel industrial applications of coal.
D．Dark-colored materials for desalination.
2. How did the team get water into the CCP device?
A．By placing cotton fibers inside.
B．By heating its black surface.
C．By making the powder into a block.
D．By installing a special cover.
3. Which feature of CCP does Marcella Bonifazi stress?
A．Being eco-friendly. B．Being low-cost.
C．Being efficient. D．Being flexible.
4. What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Scientists have made a breakthrough in desalination.
B．Coal finds new use in desalination technology.
C．CCP is expected to be in real-life use soon.
D．Drinkable water will be got from the sea.
22. Humans are responsible for 25% to 40% more of the total share of methane emissions(甲烷排放)than previously estimated, according to a new study in Nature. Methane is one of the most powerful and effective greenhouse gases: about 28 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. It's responsible for about a quarter of global warming. It's produced naturally by
animals, volcanoes, and wetlands, but it's also a byproduct of oil and gas production. It's this last form of methane that the study focused on.
Researchers used ice core measurements from Greenland from 1750 to 2013, plus previous data from Antarctica. They melted the ice to let the small quantities of ancient air trapped inside come out. These act a bit like time capsules,allowing us to learn about the methane in the atmosphere at the time. They used carbon-14, which comes from living things, as a substitute(替代物)to determine whether the methane they found came from biological sources. Until 1870, around the time when we started using fossil(化石)fuels, almost all methane came from these sources. After that, there was a rise in methane that didn't have any carbon-14, from ancient fossil sources in which carbon-14 had disappeared. That allowed the researchers to compare natural methane with methane caused by human activity.
If more methane is created by humans, there's an even bigger opportunity to control how much we release. Methane stays in the atmosphere for only a decade(compared with 200 years for carbon dioxide). So efforts to cut methane, which mostly comes from the production and transportation of gas and oil, could bring great benefit right away.
1. Which methane source does the study focus on?
A．Animals. B．Wetlands. C．Volcanoes. D．Fossil fuels.
2. What can we learn from this text?
A．Methane comes mainly from animals and wetlands.
B．There is more methane than carbon dioxide in the air.
C．Fossil fuels have been used about a century and a half.
D．Methane will remain permanently in the atmosphere.
3. What is the author's attitude towards methane control?
A．Optimistic. B．Skeptical. C．Disappointed. D．Unconcermed
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A．Fossil Fuels Cause Global Pollution
B．Humans Produce More Methane than We Thought
C．Methane Is the Biggest Cause for Global Warming
D．Carbon Dioxide Has Less Impact on Climate than Methane
文章大意：这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了中国首批公布的5个国家公园。

23. China formally announced its first batch of five national parks. Are any of them from your hometown?
·The Sanjiangyuan National Park
The Sanjiangyuan Natonal Park, which is the source of three major rivers — the Yangtze, the Yellow, and the Lancang Rivers — is an important source of fresh water supply in China maintaining the lifeline of water security of the country.

The Giant Panda National Park connects three provinces — Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. The park holds m ore than 70 percent of China’s wild giant pandas. Aside from the “national treasure” of China, the park is also the habitat of highly protected animals, including the snub-nosed monkey.
·The Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park
In the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces the high-tech monitoring system was launched to provide real-time protection for plants and animals. Thanks to the establishment of the national park, at least 12 Siberian tiger cubs and 11 Amur leopard cubs have been born so far. ·The Wuyi Mountain National Park
The Wuyi Mountain National Park is the only national park in China which is both a biosphere reserve and heritage site.
