Jeremiah Thoronka was born in the fighting of the Sierra Leone civil war and grew up in the gutter(贫民窟) of the capital Freetown, having to burn wood for lighting and heating. Jeremiah saw with his own eyes how, in addition to the smog making breathing problems common, his young contemporaries fell behind in their schoolwork because of a lack of proper lighting.
Energy poverty is a major issue in Sierra Leone — with just 26% of the population having access to electricity. In rural parts of the country, only 6% of people have electricity access, most of whom turn to solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries. As a result, it’s led to the destruction of forests as people cut down trees for firewood, which leaves Sierra Leone highly sensitive to extreme events like flooding and landslides. Families’ reliance on firewood also leads to frequent house fires.
These life-threatening disadvantages and hardships fueled Jeremiah’s enthusiasm for renewable energy and climate change advocacy. At 17 when studying at the African Leadership University in Rwanda, he created a start-up called Optim Energy that transforms vibrations(震动) from vehicles and footfall on roads into an electric current. It is different from existing renewable energy sources including wind or solar because it generates power without relying on changeable weather.
Optim Energy ran a successful pilot program in Jeremiah’s neighbourhoods, Makawo in the northern part of Sierra Leone and Kuntoluh east of Freetown. With just two devices, the startup provided free electricity to 150 households benefiting around 500 citizens as well as 15 schools where more than 9,000 students attend.
Jeremiah is currently developing plans to expand into the healthcare field which needs power to cool medicines and create enough light for treating patients after dark.
24. What affected the young fellows academic performance
A. The war. B. The smog. C. The poor lighting. D. The breathing problem.
25. What can we learn about “energy poverty”from paragraph 2
A. It is caused by solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries.
B. It has a worse impact on the city area.
C. It brings about the destruction of forests.
D. It increases the risk of forest fires.
26. What is special about Optim Energy
A. It draws on vibrations to make electricity. B. It upgrades the use of solar energy.
C. It runs a pilot program throughout the city. D. It helps 9,000 students return to school.
27. What message does the text want to convey
A. Electricity is the lifeblood of the city.
B. Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
C. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
D. We are all in the gutter, but some are making it better.
C
Carl Wieman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist at Stanford University, excelled in the lab, where he created the Bose-Einstein condensate(玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚态). However, his mastery in the lab did not extend to the classroom. For years, he wrestled with what seemed to be a straightforward task: making undergraduates comprehend physics as he did. Laying it out for them — explaining, even demonstrating the core concepts of the discipline — was not working. Despite his clear explanations, his students’ capacity to solve the problems he posed to them remained inadequate.
It was in an unexpected place that he found the key to the problem: not in his classrooms but among the graduate students who came to work in his lab. When his PH. D. candidates entered the lab, Wieman noticed, their habits of thought were no less narrow and rigid than the undergraduates. Within a year or two, however, these same graduate students transformed into the flexible thinkers he was trying so earnestly, and unsuccessfully, to cultivate. “Some kind of intellectual process must have been missing from the traditional education,” Wieman recounts.
A major factor in the graduate students' transformation, Wieman concluded, was their experience of intense social engagement around a body of knowledge — the hours they spent advising, debating with, and recounting anecdotes to one another. In 2019, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences backed this idea. Tracking the intellectual advancement of several hundred graduate students in the sciences over the course of four years, its authors found that the development of crucial skills such as generating hypotheses(假设), designing experiments, and analyzing data was closely related to the students’ engagement with their peers in the lab, rather than the guidance they received from their faculty mentors(导师).
Wieman is one of a growing number of Stanford professors who are bringing this “active learning” approach to their courses. His ambition is to move science education away from the lecture format, toward a model that is more active and more engaged.
28. What problem did Carl Wieman have with his undergraduates
A. Making them excel in the lab.
B. Demonstrating lab experiments.
C. Facilitating their all-round development.
D. Enhancing their physics problem-solving.
29. Which of the following best describes the graduate students who first joined Wieman’s lab
A. Limited in thinking. B. Resistant to new ideas.
C. Flexible and earnest. D. Experienced and cooperative.
30. What is crucial for developing students’ intelligent thought according to the 2019 study
A. Intense lab work. B. Peer pressure and evaluation.
C. Academic interaction with fellows. D. Engagement with external society.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Transforming Graduates’ Habits B. Carl Wieman’s Nobel Prize Journey
C. The Nobel-Prize Winner’s Struggles D. Carl Wieman’s Education Innovation
D
Since the 1950s, some 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced globally, of which only 10% has ever been recycled. Yet environmentally conscious companies and consumers continue to look to recycling as a way to ease the plastic problem. Manufacturing(制造业) giants claim to be committed to making more of their products and packaging from recycled materials. However, this confidence masks a complex web of issues around plastic recycling. Recycling rates remain extremely low and critics argue that we should look at alternative ways to tackle plastic pollution.
While many plastics have the potential to be recycled, most are not because the process is costly, complicated and the resulting product of a lower quality than the original. Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic- linked to oil prices- -is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic incentive to use it. Worse yet, much of our plastic waste is difficult to recycle. Lightweight food packaging, like a mozzarella packet, contains different plastics, dyes(染料) and toxic additives. This dirty mix means plastic recycled through mechanical methods — the most common form — can only be melted down and moulded again a couple of times before it becomes too fragile to be reused. And the nature of the process means plastic recycling has a carbon footprint of its own.
Given all of these difficulties, environmental critics say recycling is not the solution-and argue that creating more products from recycled material to attract environmental consciousness merely worsens the problem. “The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability,” says Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a US campaign group with a mission to end single-use plastic. “They should stop making false claims about the recyclability of plastics since they know most will either be littered or; burned or landfilled (填埋). Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal — all of which should be made from recycled content.”
32. What is an environmentally conscious customer’s attitude towards recycling plastics
A. Suspicious. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.
33. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Motive. B. Issue. C. Crisis. D. Policy.
34. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The recycling process of plastics.
B. Pollutants contained in recycled plastics.
C. Reasons why users dislike recycled plastics.
D. Contributing factors to low plastic recycling rates.
35. What will the environmental critics be happy to see according to the text
A. Using metal or glass food containers.
B. Littering recycled plastics in a landfill.
C. Processing plastics in a mechanical way.
D. Launching campaigns to promote recyclability.
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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Science fiction television has done a lot to shape how we view the meals of the future, from an evening dinner in pill form to machines giving us any meal we desire, on demand. _____36_____ However, while these ideas for food creation are more than fifty years old, the way we produce and consume food has not changed very much. Even though there is enough food available today to feed the world, more than 870 million people do not have enough to eat. _____37_____
With the global population expected to grow to more than nine billion by 2050, demand for food will only increase. No pills or machines have solved our food problems yet.
However, agricultural science has been responsible for saving huge numbers of lives. Science and technology helped us out of starvation during the 1960s and 70s when the world’s population exploded. _____38_____ The result of this panic was the “green revolution”, which saw the introduction to farming of high production grains, improved irrigation systems and hybrid(杂交) seeds, saving over one billion people from starvation.
_____39_____ Having enough food is only the first step. There are complications with natural disasters, conflict, poverty and environmental problems. All these can mean that the food supply is put at risk. _____40_____ Many people are concerned about “playing around with nature”, adjusting how food looks and tastes and smells, and other human interferences(干预), all of which are widespread.
Anyhow, the world has not been completely saved from starvation, but we are on the way to get there.
A. Agricultural science was quite a success.
B. There are many complexities when dealing with food.
C. Modern science and technology of food contributes a lot.
D. Nobody would ever starve if food were this easy to obtain.
E. And it is unbelievable that hunger kills more people than disease does.
F. Then there are the issues we face when it comes to food experimentation.
G. At that time scientists were worried that we would run out of food.

Though I still periodically felt 55 , my anxiety faded and suddenly, I realized how much more time I had for the things that gave me a deeper, more real sense of achievement and 56 : for me, this included yoga and mindful movement, reading, and being out in 57 .
My digital detox(脱瘾) was not something I chose to do 58 , but I’m thankful that it happened this way. 59 I value my devices just as much as I did before the digital detox, I realize that being 60 about how I use them is key to keeping my phone a positive addition to my life.

Jeremiah Thoronka was born in the fighting of the Sierra Leone civil war and grew up in the gutter(贫民窟) of the capital Freetown, having to burn wood for lighting and heating. Jeremiah saw with his own eyes how, in addition to the smog making breathing problems common, his young contemporaries fell behind in their schoolwork because of a lack of proper lighting.
Energy poverty is a major issue in Sierra Leone — with just 26% of the population having access to electricity. In rural parts of the country, only 6% of people have electricity access, most of whom turn to solar lanterns and dry-cell batteries. As a result, it’s led to the destruction of forests as people cut down trees for firewood, which leaves Sierra Leone highly sensitive to extreme events like flooding and landslides. Families’ reliance on firewood also leads to frequent house fires.
These life-threatening disadvantages and hardships fueled Jeremiah’s enthusiasm for renewable energy and climate change advocacy. At 17 when studying at the African Leadership University in Rwanda, he created a start-up called Optim Energy that transforms vibrations(震动) from vehicles and footfall on roads into an electric current. It is different from existing renewable energy sources including wind or solar because it generates power without relying on changeable weather.
Optim Energy ran a successful pilot program in Jeremiah’s neighbourhoods, Makawo in the northern part of Sierra Leone and Kuntoluh east of Freetown. With just two devices, the startup provided free electricity to 150 households benefiting around 500 citizens as well as 15 schools where more than 9,000 students attend.
Jeremiah is currently developing plans to expand into the healthcare field which needs power to cool medicines and create enough light for treating patients after dark.
24. What affected the young fellows academic performance

27. What message does the text want to convey
A. Electricity is the lifeblood of the city.
B. Whoever is happy will make others happy too.
C. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
D. We are all in the gutter, but some are making it better.

Carl Wieman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist at Stanford University, excelled in the lab, where he created the Bose-Einstein condensate(玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚态). However, his mastery in the lab did not extend to the classroom. For years, he wrestled with what seemed to be a straightforward task: making undergraduates comprehend physics as he did. Laying it out for them — explaining, even demonstrating the core concepts of the discipline — was not working. Despite his clear explanations, his students’ capacity to solve the problems he posed to them remained inadequate.
It was in an unexpected place that he found the key to the problem: not in his classrooms but among the graduate students who came to work in his lab. When his PH. D. candidates entered the lab, Wieman noticed, their habits of thought were no less narrow and rigid than the undergraduates. Within a year or two, however, these same graduate students transformed into the flexible thinkers he was trying so earnestly, and unsuccessfully, to cultivate. “Some kind of intellectual process must have been missing from the traditional education,” Wieman recounts.
A major factor in the graduate students' transformation, Wieman concluded, was their experience of intense social engagement around a body of knowledge — the hours they spent advising, debating with, and recounting anecdotes to one another. In 2019, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences backed this idea. Tracking the intellectual advancement of several hundred graduate students in the sciences over the course of four years, its authors found that the development of crucial skills such as generating hypotheses(假设), designing experiments, and analyzing data was closely related to the students’ engagement with their peers in the lab, rather than the guidance they received from their faculty mentors(导师).
Wieman is one of a growing number of Stanford professors who are bringing this “active learning” approach to their courses. His ambition is to move science education away from the lecture format, toward a model that is more active and more engaged.
28. What problem did Carl Wieman have with his undergraduates
A. Making them excel in the lab.
B. Demonstrating lab experiments.
C. Facilitating their all-round development.
D. Enhancing their physics problem-solving.
29. Which of the following best describes the graduate students who first joined Wieman’s lab
A. Limited in thinking. B. Resistant to new ideas.
C. Flexible and earnest. D. Experienced and cooperative.
30. What is crucial for developing students’ intelligent thought according to the 2019 study
A. Intense lab work. B. Peer pressure and evaluation.
C. Academic interaction with fellows. D. Engagement with external society.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Transforming Graduates’ Habits B. Carl Wieman’s Nobel Prize Journey
C. The Nobel-Prize Winner’s Struggles D. Carl Wieman’s Education Innovation

Since the 1950s, some 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced globally, of which only 10% has ever been recycled. Yet environmentally conscious companies and consumers continue to look to recycling as a way to ease the plastic problem. Manufacturing(制造业) giants claim to be committed to making more of their products and packaging from recycled materials. However, this confidence masks a complex web of issues around plastic recycling. Recycling rates remain extremely low and critics argue that we should look at alternative ways to tackle plastic pollution.
While many plastics have the potential to be recycled, most are not because the process is costly, complicated and the resulting product of a lower quality than the original. Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic- linked to oil prices- -is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic incentive to use it. Worse yet, much of our plastic waste is difficult to recycle. Lightweight food packaging, like a mozzarella packet, contains different plastics, dyes(染料) and toxic additives. This dirty mix means plastic recycled through mechanical methods — the most common form — can only be melted down and moulded again a couple of times before it becomes too fragile to be reused. And the nature of the process means plastic recycling has a carbon footprint of its own.
Given all of these difficulties, environmental critics say recycling is not the solution-and argue that creating more products from recycled material to attract environmental consciousness merely worsens the problem. “The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability,” says Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a US campaign group with a mission to end single-use plastic. “They should stop making false claims about the recyclability of plastics since they know most will either be littered or; burned or landfilled (填埋). Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal — all of which should be made from recycled content.”
32. What is an environmentally conscious customer’s attitude towards recycling plastics
A. Suspicious. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.
33. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Motive. B. Issue. C. Crisis. D. Policy.
34. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The recycling process of plastics.
B. Pollutants contained in recycled plastics.
C. Reasons why users dislike recycled plastics.
D. Contributing factors to low plastic recycling rates.
35. What will the environmental critics be happy to see according to the text
A. Using metal or glass food containers.
B. Littering recycled plastics in a landfill.
C. Processing plastics in a mechanical way.
D. Launching campaigns to promote recyclability.

Science fiction television has done a lot to shape how we view the meals of the future, from an evening dinner in pill form to machines giving us any meal we desire, on demand. _____36_____ However, while these ideas for food creation are more than fifty years old, the way we produce and consume food has not changed very much. Even though there is enough food available today to feed the world, more than 870 million people do not have enough to eat. _____37_____
With the global population expected to grow to more than nine billion by 2050, demand for food will only increase. No pills or machines have solved our food problems yet.
However, agricultural science has been responsible for saving huge numbers of lives. Science and technology helped us out of starvation during the 1960s and 70s when the world’s population exploded. _____38_____ The result of this panic was the “green revolution”, which saw the introduction to farming of high production grains, improved irrigation systems and hybrid(杂交) seeds, saving over one billion people from starvation.
_____39_____ Having enough food is only the first step. There are complications with natural disasters, conflict, poverty and environmental problems. All these can mean that the food supply is put at risk. _____40_____ Many people are concerned about “playing around with nature”, adjusting how food looks and tastes and smells, and other human interferences(干预), all of which are widespread.
Anyhow, the world has not been completely saved from starvation, but we are on the way to get there.
A. Agricultural science was quite a success.
B. There are many complexities when dealing with food.
C. Modern science and technology of food contributes a lot.
D. Nobody would ever starve if food were this easy to obtain.
E. And it is unbelievable that hunger kills more people than disease does.
F. Then there are the issues we face when it comes to food experimentation.
G. At that time scientists were worried that we would run out of food.

I was 51 that someone would message me and think I was 52 them. After it fully sank in that I couldn’t connect to my social networks, I felt more 53 in my immediate environment. My attention was less 54 while working on tasks. Though I still periodically felt 55 , my anxiety faded and suddenly, I realized how much more time I had for the things that gave me a deeper, more real sense of achievement and 56 : for me, this included yoga and mindful movement, reading, and being out in 57 .
My digital detox(脱瘾) was not something I chose to do 58 , but I’m thankful that it happened this way. 59 I value my devices just as much as I did before the digital detox, I realize that being 60 about how I use them is key to keeping my phone a positive addition to my life.
