In the last two years, tennis has taken over our closets, our screens and now — our living rooms, furniture from thrown tennis balls.
At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis balls. Wittock’s chase longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless — save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.
Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year — and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played.
It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by hand, with colors picked out especially to fit the client’s space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily- recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” she said. “It’s yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them ”
Wittock started to see the design’s possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collections began small — sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time — but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock — around 100,000. How long will it last “It’s enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will last nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.”
4. Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2
A. To highlight a waste. B. To promote a product.
C. To state the material of furniture. D. To show tennis’ popularity.
5. What function does paragraph 3 act as
A. A background. B. An example. C. A definition. D. A proof.
6. What does Wittock have to do to handle the thrown tennis balls
A. She cleans them cleverly. B. She asks her friends for help.
C. She uses their characteristics. D. She adjusts their colors accordingly.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Wittock’s work plans. B. Wittock’s stuff sources.
C. Wittock’s pride in profits. D. Wittock’s education experience.

Your phone has a screen that displays images and videos. The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies.
Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒), each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to create images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges.
When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors.
Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends’ phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research.
8. What enables a phone screen to present diverse visual contents from paragraph 1
A. Special sensors detecting colors.
B. A unique way for color reflection.
C. Advanced software for image generation.
D. Pixels of three primary colors in combination.
9. What can we learn about digital scent from paragraph 2
A. It is created by using cartridges.
B. It’s a fully-developed technology.
C. It comes from the same cartridges.
D. It is related to images on mobile phones.
10. What is one of the troubles scientists face when developing digital scent technology
A. Creating new scents that don’t exist in nature.
B. Combining all primary colors to produce one smell.
C. Regulating the strength and duration of scents.
D. Finding a way to emit scents that last for a long time.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. A comparison between image combination and smell production.
B. The development and challenges of digital scent technology.
C. The advantages of updating a phone that can display images.
D. The history and future of complex phone technology.
D
In recent years the production of blades (叶片) for wind turbines (风力涡轮机) has undergone a revolution, as it were. As turbine output is related to the square of blade length, this has also increased how much power can be produced.
But there’s a hitch. Today’s longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building costs are far higher.
Logistics specialists have consequently been raising their game. Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics (液压装置) can rotate their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles. The past decade has also seen the development of highly accurate “swept path analysis” software. Fed with a digital model of a transport corridor, tree branches included, the software reveals — to within a few centimetres — if a blade could get through.
For all that, problems still arise. During the many months it can take to secure transport permits, trees grow and new obstacles are often created. Producing the blades on site has so far proved impractical. In addition to introducing potential failure points, the joints are expensive and heavy. They also reduce wind-harnessing surface area by about 15%. One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms. A Silicon Valley firm has $1.3m in funding. If all goes well, the company hopes to produce a 50-metre blade in late 2025. 3D-printed blades of 100 metres could follow by 2028. The boss of the firm estimates on-site printing would cut developers’ total cost for blades by a quarter.
The wind power industry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive long - shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort.
12. What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Advantage. B. Challenge. C. Improvement. D. Disorder.
13. How were the wind turbines transported in the past
A. By making digital models of the large blades.
B. By applying software to the big trees detection.
C. By reducing the load of the trucks to make turns.
D. By using trucks with special devices to decrease the movement of turbines.
14. What is the suggestion about addressing the transportation of turbine blades
A. Printing the blades on-site at wind farms.
B. Reducing the length of the turbine blades.
C. Increasing the number of transport permits.
D. Using lighter materials to produce the blades.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the efforts to improve the transportation of blades
A. Cautious. B. Ambiguous. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Josh lived in Upland, California, a town surrounded by nature where wild animal encounters were not uncommon. From an early age, he had been told many times to stay calm or make himself look bigger when facing an animal that could easily overpower him. Although he had never had to use this advice, what he saw through the real-time video on his phone made him feel as if he had experienced it.
It was a typical Saturday afternoon, sunny and breezy, when he was at the mall with his family, enjoying a rare day out together. They had just finished lunch at the food court and were on their way back home. However, as they were approaching home, an unexpected alarm on Josh’s security app disrupted their peaceful afternoon.
The notification(通知) suddenly appeared on his screen, informing him that something was moving around his house. Initially, Josh thought it might be a stray animal or perhaps a neighbor’s curious pet. But as he quickly accessed the real-time footage from his security camera, his concern began to grow. There, on his driveway, was a bear, casually walking around as if it owned the place.
Josh’s worry doubled when he noticed a delivery worker, unaware of the potential danger, heading towards his house with a package in hand. Unaware of the bear, the worker was walking into a potentially dangerous situation. With his phone still in hand, Josh quickly activated the two-way communication feature on his video doorbell, hoping to warn the worker.
“Stop right there! There’s a bear!” Josh’s voice came out through the speaker, clear and urgent.
The worker froze, finally spotting the bear standing on top of a nearby wall, its eyes fixed on him.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

【47题答案】
【答案】
Instantly, the worker stepped back, clearly surprised. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at the massive bear just a few yards away. Josh continued to shout instructions through the speaker, telling him to slowly back away without turning his back on the bear. The worker nodded nervously and began to move, inch by inch, his gaze never leaving the bear. Meanwhile, Josh’s family, who had been watching the scene unfold in horror, called the local wildlife rescue team. The bear, seemingly unfazed by the commotion, remained perched on the wall, observing the humans’ every move.
The worker’s quick thinking had worked. He managed to put a safe distance between himself and the bear, and then took shelter behind a parked car. The bear, losing interest, eventually hopped down from the wall and lumbered off into the woods. By the time the wildlife rescue team arrived, the bear was long gone. The worker thanked Josh profusely for his timely warning, and Josh was just glad that everyone was okay. After that day, Josh made sure to double-check his surroundings whenever he heard an alarm, knowing all too well the potential danger that could lurk outside his door.
