AReasons Every Teen Should Go To Summer Camp#1 Improve Interpersonal Skills & Form Close FriendshipsIn a world where anyone can look up a fact and where machines are replacing even complex workplace tasks, employers need employees who can interact effectively with other people. This is one of the most important skills teens learn at camp. In the non-competitive camp culture, teens build up their”emotional intelligence”(EQ), their face-to-face communication and relationship skills.#2 Experience Character Development and Develop Life Skills Teens develop other important life skills at camp, including independence, responsibility, and decision-making.

Aren’tthey just the kind of young adults you want your teen to become?#3 Discover Their Best SelfCamp experiences offer teens the chance to step back from the tiring task of academic and competitive sports and ins tead think about what’s important to them.

At first I wasn’t too keen. What was I going to do in the middle of nowhere, in a country where I couldn’t even speak the language? And anyway, what was so special about Gaviotas?My dad told me that Gaviotas was an example of how people could live without destroying the environment. This got me a bit more interested, so I did some research.I found out that Gaviotas was founded in 1971 by a group of scientists and artists. They had decided to build a completely new town in the remote, war-worn eastern Colombia where there was nothing.When we eventually arrived, I was amazed by how green it was and my dad explained that they had replanted millions of trees. There were many different species of birds flying about and flowers everywhere. I was beginning to like it. My dad’s contact in Gaviotas has a son exactly my age Ricardo. He speaks really good English and so for the next week he was my guide to this amazing place. The first thing he pointed out to me was all the fantastic technology that had been invented there. Ricardo told me that they produce 70% of all their own energy and food with very little waste. The trees they planted more than compensate for any greenhouse gases they emit(排放).But Gaviotas is not a success just because of its green technology, it’s also a model for how people can live more peacefully together. Every family gets a free home, free meals and free schooling for the children. So there is no poverty. People get on well with each other. It’ s fantastic.I was really sad to leave Gaviotas, but now I have a new dream: I hope that 20 years from now, we’ll all be living in towns like Gaviotas.24.What can best describe the author' s feeling at the very beginning?A. Annoyed.B. Uninterested.C. Guilty.D. Worried.25. What kind of town did Gaviotas use to be?A. Bare and war- stricken.B. Green and efficient.C. Modern but polluted.D. Small but advanced.26. Where can you find the evidence to show that Gaviotas is a green town!A. Paragraph 2.B. Paragraph 3.C. Paragraph 4.D. Paragraph 5.27. What does paragraph 4 focus on?A. How scientists and artists founded Gaviotas.B. How people in Gaviotas avoid waste.C. Gaviotas is famous for its green technology.D. Gaviotas is an ideal model of community.CPangolins(穿山甲)are the most trafficked(非法交易)mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly(有鳞片的),anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation:access. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the internet is available, especially African communities, who live near the animal’s habitats.Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years wasa crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, “One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they wo uld eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant.”Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time.28. What is the purpose of the documentary?A. To study the situation of pangolins.B. To collect fund to protect pangolins.C. To raise awareness of pangolin protection.D. To propose setting up pangolin reserves.29. What is the meaning of the underlined word“fussy “in parag raph 2?A. Picky.B.MessyC. Showy.D. Heavy.30. What’ s the documentary mainly about?A. The illegal trade of pangolins.B. The medical function of pangolin's scales.C. The life of pangolins in their natural habitats.D. The efforts of Pangolin, Africa to save pangolins.31. Where is the text most likely from?A. A brochure.B. A diary.C. A novel.D. A magazine.DIn a university library, a student is writing an essay on his laptop. But that’s not all. He’s also reading instant messages online, listening to his music with headphones, and checking text messages on his cell phone. In today’s world, people use a wide variety of electronic media to multitask, doing several things at the same time. Neuroscientists are studying the brain to see what happens during multitasking and to see if multitasking affects the quality of what we do.In a multitasking study conducted by French scientists Eienne Koechlin and Sylvain Charron, people were given one task requiring concentration. Brain images showed that both the left and right prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮质)were active as people worked. However, when the person is given a second task to do at the same time, the left prefrontal cortex look on task, and the right look the other. When doing two tasks, MRI(磁共振成像)images showed that the brain was rapidly switching between the first and the second task. The brain was not working on both tasks at the same time. It is concentrating on one task and then switching to the other.In order to switch attention from one task to another, the brain must use its working memory,. This is the brain’s ability to temporarily hold information while i tdoes something else. When you multitask, the first task is stored in your working memory. Then your brain goes to the second task but when it returns to the first task, it must restart it, using working memory.Although we think we are getting more done by multitasking, evidence shows that we do not. Researchers have found that people take longer to complete tasks and make more mistakes. When the French researchers expanded their experiment to include three tasks, surprisingly, the brain seemed to completely drop on task and only focus on two tasks. The French team concluded that the brain could not focus on more than two tasks at a time. Therefore, for a task that requires your concentr ation, it ‘s better to just focus on that one task until you are don e.32.Why does the author mention a student in paragraph 1?A. To explain what happens during multitasking.B. To serve an example of high-tech multitasking.C. To show how to be skillful at high-tech multitasking.D. To-present the applications of high-tech media.33. What does the underlined “it”in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The brain.B. The MRI image.C. The first task.D. The second task .34. What can we learn about multitasking?A. Electronic media improve its quality.B. Three tasks can be well managed at a time.C. It can damage the brain’s working memory.D. It may result in the loss of speed and accuracy.5. What can be the best title for the passage?A. How does the brain multitask?B. Why do we need to multitask?C. Multitasking: a hew discovery of neuroscienceD. Multitasking: a way to expand the brain' s function第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2023届福建省泉州市高中毕业班质量监测(三)英语试卷
2023届福建省泉州市高中毕业班质量监测(三)英语试卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.Meta’s speech-to-speech translationFacebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien lo similar English text.Method to identify Parkinson’s diseaseResearchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.Tool to interpret pig emotionsResearchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writingsResearchers - led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind - said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rat: for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.1.Which can be used for cross-cultural communication?A.Tool to interpret pig emotions.B.Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.C.Method to identify Parkinson’s disease.D.Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.2.Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca?A.A farmer.B.A doctor.C.A zoologist.D.A historian. 3.What do the inventions have in common?A.They are AI-driven technology tools.B.They are developed by Facebook.C.They aim to promote productivity.D.They focus on health issues.Students at Summit Elementary School in Butler, Pennsylvania are growing more than their minds. Under the guidance of teacher Angela Eyth, they’ve created a productive garden. “The kids are in charge of everything,” Eyth says.Eyth and her students launched the gardening project in 2020 after the teacher attended a conference on how to include lessons about farming in the classroom. Then came the garden. With 16 acres of school district-owned land. around their building, there was plenty of room.The project is now two years old, and goes beyond planting and growing: Eyth and her fellow educators structure lessons in science, math and more around their garden.“When we grew cabbages my students noticed something was eating the leaves,” Eyth recall. “This led to an investigation on figuring out what was eating it and how to stop it: the kids analyzed the evidence they found and acted as engineers in creating ways to keep insects out of the cabbage beds. In 4th grade, we lake the students outside to estimate the number of bean pods (豆荚) they find.” Eyth continues, “People think gardening should be separate from core subjects but it’s far from the truth. The kids’ curiosity keeps it rolling.The kids also keep the produce rolling - SO much so that with a $70,000 donation from Remake Learning/Grable Foundation, they’re using that money to build a greenhouse at their school. The funds help them launch an outdoor classroom and open a farm stand at Broad Street that brings fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and more to an area of their community where affordable fresh produce is hard to find there. Such areas are often called “food deserts.”“Our students discover the value of sharing their harvest with the communitysurrounding nearby Broad Street Elementary School.” says Eyth. “They’re so proud of what we’re doing here.”4.What is the purpose of the project?A.To prepare students for career planning.B.To seek new ways of vegetable growing.C.To allow students to learn by gardening.D.To encourage students to get close to nature.5.What do the teachers do with the project at present?A.Expand the farming land.B.Integrate relevant subjects. C.Investigate insects’ activities.D.Estimate the number of vegetables. 6.What can we know about the project?A.It was launched by the school board.B.Its experience was introduced at a conference.C.It built a greenhouse in the “food desert” areas.D.Its produce benefits the community around.7.What do the students think of the project?A.It is tiresome.B.It requires creativity.C.It is rewarding.D.It needs more donations.For Australian cattle farmer Jody Brown, the most frightening evidence of drought is the silence. Trees stand still, the singing of birds gone.The constant dryness means her cattle have decreased to around 400, down from 1,100 in 2002, and at limes there have been no animals on the land at all. The native grasses, once green, have disintegrated into grey ash. According to United Nations’ estimates, global crop production could fall about 30% because of climate change, while food is sharply demanded in the coming decades. The world is facing a new age of rapidly increasing food prices that could push almost 2 billion more people into hunger in a worst-case climate crisis.Facing the scary predictions, farmers have begun to adapt. On Brown’s farm, she’s experimenting with regenerative-farming practices better suited to drought. She’s exploring alternatives to traditional methods that don’t push the land as hard. Meanwhile many agrichemical companies are developing new varieties for vegetables, like cabbages that are more resistant to extreme weather.Across the globe, farmers are switching seeds and improving irrigation (灌溉). Lucas Oliveira in Brazil is pulling out half his coffee trees to plant corn and soybeans instead. He is being forced to change course after coffee crops suffered from drought and then an extreme frost. With drought hitting California, Fritz Durst is working to trap water. He’s boarded up pipes to hold the rain that does fall. Durst will also plant cover crops, which can help enrich soils and prevent erosion (水土流失).One of the biggest challenges for farmers is that there is currently no access to funds that would be critical to undertake the kind of massive transformation.“If you have to deal with millions of farmers around the world, you have to coordinate (协调). That’s a huge task,” said Monika Zurek, senior researcher at University of Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute.8.Why are the data mentioned in paragraph 2?A.To illustrate the frequent drought.B.To evidence the increasing food demand.C.To present the severe results of climate crisis.D.To describe the situation of crop production.9.What is farmers’ reaction towards the predictions?A.Exploring alternative farming practices.B.Sticking to traditional methods.C.Developing new varieties for vegetables.D.Experimenting with ngrichemicals.10.How does Fritz Durst in California deal with the drought?A.He switches to planting coffee trees.B.He employs ways to trap water.C.He covers his crops to resist drought.D.He conducts researches on the soil.11.What is crucial to the transformation?A.Improving irrigation facility.B.Tackling environment change.C.Offering farmers access to funds.D.Introducing ways to prevent erosion.Some of the biggest and most successful companies are opening new offices, and their trendiest feature is focused on plants and insects. After moving to Seattle, Microsoft began to build its work spaces outdoors - and more specifically, in the trees, which are now comprised of 125 buildings.This style of biophilic (亲自然的) design-an integration of natural materials, natural light, views of nature and other experiences of the natural world into the built environment -sounds pretty and good for the planet. But that hardly seems like enough of a reason for big companies to pay billions for biophilic designs. In fact, they are motivated by economics.A study with employees of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District Call Center revealed that workers who had a view of the natural environment handled about 7% more calls than those who did not. The cost of reforming offices to give each employee an outdoor view was about $1, 000 per employee, while their increased productivity added up to $2,900 in increased income per employee per year.Another study by the Think Wood campaign concludes that nature can have a beneficial effect on creativity, concentration and well-being. Not only do cool-looking biophilic offices help companies recruit (招聘) talent in an incredibly tight labor market, but they also nudge the new talent to perform better at work.“Being more creative and flexible with our workspace allows us to be more creative and productive in our work and the products we create. It’s like a little getaway,” said Bret Boulder, Head of Capital Assets.Of course, small companies don’t have a spare couple of billion to spend on “park-like” outdoor offices. But the good news is that biophilic design is not necessarily expensive. Even just staring at a neighboring green roof for less than a minute has been shown to boost productivity.12.Where can you find the definition of biophilic design?A.In paragraph 1.B.In paragraph 2.C.In paragraph 3.D.In paragraph 4. 13.What does the underlined word “nudge” in paragraph 4 mean?A.Encourage.B.Anticipate.C.Remind.D.Promise. 14.What effect can biophilic designs bring to offices?A.Reduced building cost.B.Competitive atmosphere. C.Limited workplace flexibility.D.Increased productivity.15.What is the best title for the text?A.Putting Nature to Work B.A Trend to Open New Offices C.Living Naturally and Simply D.A Natural Building Designer二、七选五After my family got comfortably settled in Hotel Ramada in Bangkok, we started exploring the city. After endless hours of shopping, it was finally time to go back.This was when the trouble started. We forgot there are two Ramada hotels in the opposite directions.

At first I wasn’t too keen. What was I going to do in the middle of nowhere, in a country where I couldn’t even speak the language? And anyway, what was so special about Gaviotas?My dad told me that Gaviotas was an example of how people could live without destroying the environment. This got me a bit more interested, so I did some research. I found out that Gaviotas was founded in 1971 by a group of scientists and artists. They had decided to build a completely new town in the remote, war-worn eastern Colombia where there was nothing. replanted millions of trees. There were many different species of birds flying about and flowers everywhere. I was beginning to like it. My dad’s contact in Gaviotas has a son exactly my age Ricardo. He speaks really good English and so for the next week he was my guide to this amazing place. The first thing he pointed out to me was all the fantastic technology that had been invented there. Ricardo told me that they produce 70% of all their own energy and food with very little waste. The trees they planted more than compensate for any greenhouse gases they emit(排放).But Gaviotas is not a success just because of its green technology, it’s also a model for how people can live more peacefully together. Every family gets a free home, free meals and free schooling for the children. So there is no poverty. People get on well with each other. It’ s fantastic.I was really sad to leave Gaviotas, but now I have a new dream: I hope that 20 years from now, we’ll all be living in towns like Gaviotas.24.What can best describe the author' s feeling at the very beginning?A.

How scientists and artists founded Gaviotas.B. How people in Gaviotas avoid waste.C. Gaviotas is famous for its green technology.D. Gaviotas is an ideal model of community.CPangolins(穿⼭甲)are the most trafficked(⾮法交易)mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attentionto these scaly(有鳞⽚的),anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation:access. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the internet is available, especially African communities, who live near the animal’s habitats.Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, “One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant.”Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time.28. What is the purpose of the documentary?A. To study the situation of pangolins.B. To collect fund to protect pangolins.C. To raise awareness of pangolin protection.D. To propose setting up pangolin reserves.29. What is the meaning of the underlined word“fussy “in parag raph 2?A. Picky.B.MessyC. Showy.D. Heavy.30. What’ s the documentary mainly about?A. The illegal trade of pangolins.B. The medical function of pangolin's scales.C. The life of pangolins in their natural habitats.D. The efforts of Pangolin, Africa to save pangolins.31. Where is the text most likely from?A. A brochure.B. A diary.C. A novel.D. A magazine.DIn a university library, a student is writing an essay on his laptop. But that’s not all. He’s also reading instant messages online, listening to his music with headphones, and checking text messages on his cell phone. In today’s world, people use a wide vari ety of electronic media to multitask, doing several things at the same time. Neuroscientists are studying the brain tosee what happens during multitasking and to see if multitasking affects the quality of what we do.In a multitasking study conducted by French scientists Eienne Koechlin and Sylvain Charron, people were given one task requiring concentration. Brain images showed that both the left and right prefrontal cortex (前额叶⽪质)were active as people worked. However, when the person is given a second task to do at the same time, the left prefrontal cortex look on task, and the right look the other. When doing two tasks, MRI(磁共振成像)images showed that the brain was rapidly switching between the first and the second task. The brain was not working on both tasks at the same time. It is concentrating on one task and then switching to the other.In order to switch attention from one task to another, the brain must use its working memory,. This is the brain’s ability to temporarily hold information while it doe s something else. When you multitask, the first task is stored in your working memory. Then your brain goes to the second task but when it returns to the first task, it must restart it, using working memory. Although we think we are getting more done by multitasking, evidence shows that we do not. Researchers have found that people take longer to complete tasks and make more mistakes. When the French researchers expanded their experiment to include three tasks, surprisingly, the brain seemed to completely drop on task and only focus on two tasks. The French team concluded that the brain could not focus on more than two tasks at a time. Therefore, for a task that requires your concentr ation, it ‘s better to just focus on that one task until you are done.32.Why does the author mention a student in paragraph 1?A. To explain what happens during multitasking.B. To serve an example of high-tech multitasking.C. To show how to be skillful at high-tech multitasking.D. To-present the applications of high-tech media.33. What does the underlined “it”in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The brain.B. The MRI image.C. The first task.D. The second task .34. What can we learn about multitasking?A. Electronic media improve its quality.B. Three tasks can be well managed at a time.C. It can damage the brain’s working memory.D. It may result in the loss of speed and accuracy.5. What can be the best title for the passage?A. How does the brain multitask?B. Why do we need to multitask?C. Multitasking: a hew discovery of neuroscienceD. Multitasking: a way to expand the brain' s function第⼆节(共5⼩题;每⼩题2分,满分10分)根据短⽂内容,从短⽂后的选项中选出能填⼊空⽩处的最佳选项。

Safe to say, few people would think about farming. However, a group of students from York College of Pennsylvania have been building a drone that will not only help local farmers but the environment, as well.Samantha Gotwalt and Blayde Reich, two senior Mechanical Engineering majors at York College in the group, both found the work to be quite fascinating. According to Samantha, the idea came from a York College professor, who has worked with drones, and wanted to get students involved with a project beneficial to the community. "We really want to help farming and agriculture. It's super-important to America and our economy," Blayde says. "We want to help the smaller farmers, and one of the perks is not having to spend their money on fertilizer and pesticides (杀虫剂)."The idea is to design and build a drone that will take video imagery of the fields to determine what is needed to produce the best crop, while saving money and sparing the environment by reducing pollutants in the water runoff. Ideally, that data gained will help the farmers better determine what chemicals they need - and what they don't.However, finding the right equipment for the project was a challenge, starting with what drone the team would design for this particular usage. Samantha says she researched durability and control of drones to help make the proper determination."We are flying over the field and we want to have enough efficiency and go relatively slow enough that our pictures turn out well—and fly low enough that it is not using up all of its power," she says. "The fields are a couple hundred acres(英亩), so you need your drone to be able to fly the length of that field."Blayde says the team continues to learn a great deal of information that will help the farmers and the environment.4. What does the underlined word "perks" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Challenges.B. Features.C. Benefits.D. Solutions.5. What particular usage is the drone designed for?A. Spreading proper quantities of pesticides.B. Helping to determine the chemicals needed.C. Assisting to monitor the state of crops.D. Measuring the areas of the fields.6. What technical issue of the drone shall be tackled?A. Its camera capacity.B. Its data collection ability.C. Its durability and control.D. Its material and efficiency.7. What can best describe the students?A. Disciplined and realistic.B. Experienced and reliable.C. Humble and reserved.D. Responsible and creative.CA United Airlines flight from Chicago to Washington D.C. made a bit of aviation (航空) history last December, completing a 600-mile trip that the airline hopes will prove the first leg of a journey to a greener future.In a first, one of the two engines on the 737 Max 8 was powered entirely by fuel made from used cooking oil and waste fat from beef, pork and chicken. Refined (提炼) at a Southern California plant, the fuel produces about 80% less emissions (排放) than conventional aviation fuel. Biofuel had been mixed with conventional fuel in the past, but United Airlines said it had never been used by itself in the engine of a commercial flight.The Chicago carrier made the flight to show the progress it has made toward its goal of getting rid of greenhouse gas emissions by2050. It's a goal shared by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).For now, the biggest challenge is producing enough low-emission, sustainable aviation fuel that can be used in existing commercial planes without adjustment to power the world's airlines. The world's refineries now produce about 26.4 million gallons of low-emission, sustainable aviation fuel a year. That is only a tiny part of the 18.3 billion gallons of fuel burned by U.S. carriers alone in 2019."There is no question there is a challenge," Gene Gebolys, chief executive of World Energy, a Boston biofuel energy company, said. "It's all about scale (规模)."World Energy's Paramount, California, facility now has the capacity to refine cooking oil and animal fat into 15 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel a year.The company is investing $1.5 billion to modernize the facility and enable it to produce up to 370 million gallons a year."Standing where we are right now, it is going to be an extremely ambitious goal to get to net zero by 2050," Gebolys said. "Do I think it's possible? Absolutely."8. What is the experiment of United Airlines?A. Using fuel from fat and oil alone in engines.B. Refining cooking oil and waste fat.C. Mixing biofuel energy with conventional fuel.D. Developing biofuel-powered carriers.9. What barrier does the new energy promotion face?A. The stability of the refined cooking oil.B. The lack of raw materials.C. The limited production capacity.D. The energy consumption in production.10. What is the author's attitude to the popularization of the new energy?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Unclear.11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Energy Company Discovers a New Green FuelB. Global Airlines Promise a Low-emission FutureC. Is Biofuel Energy Ready for Mass Production?D. Could Cooking Oil Help Airlines Reach Zero Emissions?DThe four-day workweek's moment has arrived. With a new proposal of legislation(立法) in America to reduce the standard workweek from 40 to 32 hours, awareness of a shorter workweek—and enthusiasm for it is gaining. And so is the doubt around it.Initial doubt is reasonable since American work culture has been founded on constant working and expectations for overachievement. However, if there were ever a time for transforming thinking, this is it. The challenges over the past years have strengthened our muscles of adaptation. And the new practice of working from home proved that we can adjust quickly to changing conditions.Four-day workweek pilots(试点) are emerging across the globe, with some companies now deciding to adopt the policy permanently. Microsoft Japan andKickstarter represent just the growing number of organizations exploring thefour-day workweek.Supporters cite many benefits, including improved physical and mental health, increased gender equity and positive environmental impacts. It is easy to imagine what we might do with an additional day-off - spend time with family and friends, pursue a hobby, sleep. Pilot findings show increased productivity as well. Many in favor of the four-day workweek anticipate a more fulfilled community.Some leaders will see the research and believe that a pilot is worthwhile. Others will resist the idea. They were taught that face time with employees is the only way to ensure accountability(责任心) and productivity. Less face time can feel like a loss of control.While each organization will need to find what works for them, doing so can be a productive exercise. Leaders can let employees work out the details rather than "solving" the challenge from the top down. Perpetual Guardian asked employees to propose their own productivity measures, including how to increase productivity and arrange shifts. Awin, a tech firm, saw 80 employees volunteer for task forces to ensure that their switch to a four-day workweek went smoothly.12. Why are Americans doubtful about the new workweek practice?A. There are limited legislation proposals for it.B. It challenges American work value.C. It goes beyond their standard workweek.D. There are few pilots for it across the globe.13. What is paragraph 2 mainly discussing?A. American work culture.B. Challenges of the new practice.C. Details of the new workweek pilots.D. The possibility of adopting the new practice.14. What can be achieved by the new practice?A. A more healthy and efficient society.B. Diversity of organization management.C. Increased sense of responsibility.D. More choices of community services.15. What does the author suggest leaders do?A. Handle the challenges from the top down.B. Allow the employees to try the new practice.C. Work out detailed solutions for the organization.D. Develop more ways to measure productivity.I was recently in a business meeting, where two managers faced off with their wildly different opinions. But to our surprise, the meeting went remarkably well—and all because one of them simply showed a calm maturity (成熟). He kept saying things like, "I absolutely see your point, Jeff," and "You're right about that. Could we consider…?" (1) And things went smoothly. So what are more ways to bring more cool, collected calm into our life? Here are some.♦Focus on your own stuff.It can be so easy to compare ourselves to other people over our paychecks, the contents of our closets, relationship statuses etc. But when you realize that all that matters is you, you can't help but just do you. (2)♦Know how to laugh at yourself.Joan Rivers said, "Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It's all funny." (3) And once you get to the point where you can laugh at yourself, you can laugh at pretty much anything.♦ (4)I don't think there is anything more grown-up than taking 100 percent responsibility for your life. No excuses or exceptions—parental, governmental or otherwise. When you own your circumstances and your "stuff" you're empowered.♦ (5)We can quantify our calm by our ability to "shake it off". You really can choose to free yourself from anything: a rude remark, a disrespect from someone you've never liked, a passive-aggressive colleague ... whatever. When you can shake all that off and just focus on the present moment, you kind of have it figured out.A.Never react.B.Don't blame others.C.Life doesn't have to be so serious, does it?D.And when that happens, life gets awesome.E.Will guilt and regret have you living in the past?F.He met his colleague's argument with absolute calm.G.Maturity begins when drama and dissatisfaction end.16.

I remember him coming into the sitting room one night, and when he went to sit down, I said to my brother, “I hope he doesn 't sit down. ”I was 12 years old then.My grandfather wrote poetry on great rolls of thin white paper with a paintbrush, but overthe years I wouldn 't listen to him read his poems. I 'd let my Chinese go by then, which madelistening to him too much of an effort.On Monday, he 'd be sitting at Dragon Boat Restaurant with other old Chinese men. Tuesdays to Friday, he was at a small square table by himself with a pot of tea and the Chinese newspaper. But he was diagnosed (诊断) with brain cancer and, three months later, he died.At the funeral, my sadness was overshadowed by a sense of regret. I'd rejected my grandfatherthe commonest of kindness. I was 16 years ole.I am now 26.

Mom told him I had stopped speaking Chinese for some years and then had suddenly started up again in my late teens.I have often wandered how aware my mum is of the connection between Granddad 's death and my ever-improving Chinese. Whenever I am stuck for a word, I ask her. Whenever I am with her, or relatives, I practise. Now I am confident that the next time an elderly relative wants me to listen to them, I am not only willing, I am able. In fact, the more I learn, the more interest I have in the fantastic Chinese culture. The learning process seems to mea journey to rediscover my roots.28.

Problem was, “ I couldn ' t move from my bed, and I didn ' t want to pay for taxis to and from the hospital, ” says Sodera.So he grasped his mobile phone hurriedly and opened Doctor on Demand, a new app that allows users to video-chat with doctors to get medical help in real time. He typed in symptoms, got paired with a nearby specialist and sent him a few photos of his knee. Within minutes, the doctor informed Sodera that he Likely dislocated his knee and would need an MRI—which he scheduled for the following week.Nowadays, telemedicine is becoming increasingly mainstream, thanks to apps like Doctor on Demand, which is hacked by Dr. Phil, and HoakhTap, which attracts more than I million users.For patients, telemedicine apps are a cheap, easy alternative to nonemergency consultations.Asking text-based questions on HealthTap and AskMDis free, and a 15-minute appointment via Doctor on Demandcosts $40. For doctors, the apps are a tool to build a public profile, attract new patients and make a little extra cash during their downtime. And for hospitals, they 're a meansto streamline rare for existing patients. As Murray Aitken, executive director of the health care consultancyIMS Institute, put s it, “Weare going to see a major shift in how medicine is practiced and where. ” But there are concerns. Although telemedicine apps can be useful for diagnosing routineillnesses, they ' re not meant to totally replace in - person doctor ' s exams especially forpotentially serious diseases like chest pain. It ' s also not ideal to get prescriptions (处方)from a doctor who doesn' t have your electronic medical -record history on hand.The key, says Aitken, is striking a balance —and using telemedicine to replace unnecessary visits. “ If there is a way to keep healthy patients out of the doctor ' s office through telemedicine, ” he says, “ that ' s a good th ing. ”32.
