Composting (堆肥制造) at Home
What Is Composting
Composting is the managed, oxygen-requiring biological decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms. Organic (carbon-based) materials include grasses, leaves, yard and tree cuttings, and food waste. The end product is compost, a soil conditioner that can provide nutrients to plants. Microorganisms feed on the materials added to the compost pile during composting. They use carbon and nitrogen (氮) to grow and reproduce, water to digest materials, and oxygen to breathe.
Why Is Composting at Home Important
Composting is nature’s way of recycling. We can get a beneficial, value-added soil conditioner and use it to protect the environment.
Decrease Greenhouse Gas Emissions (排放) Composting reduces emissions by keeping wasted food out of landfills and offsetting the need for some chemical substances. Trap Carbon Compost makes carbon stay in the soil instead of being released into the air directly.
Benefits of Composting
Build Flood & Drought Adaptability Compost enables the soil to better absorb and hold water, helping to reduce flooding in heavy rains and maintain water during droughts. Enrich Soil Compost enhances soil health and plant growth; it slowly discharges and preserves nutrients in the soil, reducing nutrient runoff and protecting water quality.
What to Add to a Backyard Compost Pile
1. What do we know about composting
A. It takes place without oxygen. B. It needs microorganisms’ involvement.
C. It breaks down waste with carbon. D. It starts with a special soil conditioner.
2. What can compost help us do
A. Improve poor soil. B. Prevent flooding.
C. Reduce food waste. D. Store carbon in the air.
3. How much carbon material is needed to build a 200 kg compost pile
A. 20kg. B. 60kg. C. 120kg. D. 180kg.
B
When I was in university, I joined a nonprofit organization and volunteered for a project designed to help the often-overlooked communities in Romania. From special-needs adults to children who were homeless, volunteers of this organization sought to provide safe shelter for them.
Each day I was surrounded by 15-20 kids. I helped in the kitchen, taught English, played soccer, and even assisted in painting on a big wall. I enjoyed doing a little bit of everything.
When I arrived, the kids started the summer break, so I had more time to talk to them. I heard about their hopes and dreams and what they had overcome. Our conversations were mostly done using a Chinese translation app. We played lots of games and were very creative with our time. I was amazed how the kids had fun in the simple things. I also really appreciated how technology wasn’t taking over their lives. They didn’t have laptops and were only allowed to use phones when necessary. So I had more face-to-face time with them and I treasured all the genuine conversations we had.
During one conversation I had with a little boy named Daniel, he told me with quiet pride that seeing what I did here inspired him to become a voluntary teacher like me. His words, and similar remarks from other children, made me realize how these experiences had changed their outlooks and future plans—many said they would give back to society when they grew up.
Helping others should never be a one-and-done action. Before I left, I promised the children I would come back —a promise I meant to keep, not a casual remark. The relationships I formed with them run deep, built through shared meals, long conversations and playful afternoons; because of that, I feel a responsibility to keep them over time. I plan to return to renew the relationships we created.
4. What do the volunteers do in Romania
A. Teach different languages. B. Take care of poor children.
C. Support the disadvantaged. D. Inspire the homeless people.
5. What surprised the author about the children
A. Their love for volunteering. B. Their joyful low-tech life.
C. Their innocent conversations. D. Their gift for English learning.
6. Why did the author refer to Daniel
A. To prove their close relationship. B. To praise volunteers’ contribution.
C. To highlight the boy’s future plan. D. To show the impact of volunteering.
7. What does the author learn from this experience
A. Service needs lasting commitment. B. Short-term projects hold equal value.
C. Leaving comfort zones aids growth. D. Keeping promises smooths the project.
C
With the development of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has taken over every field, from chatbots answering questions to algorithm (算法) making decisions, but are people letting AI play too large a role in their life
AI is no longer just a story, it is part of everyday life, from phones to cars to homes. Moreover, a study by a UK organization suggested that AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Based on this study, it is safe to say that AI is massively integrated into various industries, be it healthcare or manufacturing (制造业). AI-powered assistants can schedule appointments, turn off lights, order groceries, and use phone algorithms to suggest songs or shows. Today, it is hard to imagine life without AI. Does this indicate an overuse of artificial intelligence and growing dependence
Beyond AI dependency, technology reliance is celebrated for improving efficiency. Today, businesses use AI to streamline operations, reduce costs, and even make data-driven decisions. According to a Gartner report, about 77% of companies worldwide use AI in some form, but what should be remembered is that AI dependency can backfire, from directing one’s route through digital map apps to using spell-checkers, making individuals unable to learn properly.
It should be remembered that AI is a tool and not a replacement for human intelligence. Hence, problem-solving skills, creativity, and emotional intelligence should be developed alongside technological advancements. Moreover, governments and businesses must supervise (监管) AI’s integration with ethical guidelines to avoid any consequences.
AI has clearly become a game-changer — making everyday life easier, boosting productivity and offering smart fixes to tough problems. However, we must be careful not to see these successes as an excuse to let AI spread without limits or to let ourselves grow so dependent on it that we forget how to think, choose and care for one another.
8. How does the author show AI’s integration into life in paragraph 2
A. By comparing AI assistants B. By listing its wide applications
C By telling its technical principle. D. By presenting its great potential
9. What does the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Serve as a vital tool. B. Deserve consideration.
C. Have positive effects. D. Produce opposite results.
10. What does the author suggest about AI
A. Making strict policies on it. B. Accepting its limitations.
C. Promoting it in certain fields. D. Using it in a balanced way.
11. What is the author’s attitude to AI
A. Objective. B. Dismissive. C. Favorable. D. Worried.
D
Public transportation is the key to a city’s livability Finland has pioneered a new era in bussing — both in terms of the vehicles themselves and in terms of the experience of riding the bus.
In June, a group of hydrogen-powered buses from Portugal arrived in Finland. For a few months the buses will undergo testing to see how they adapt to Finland’s difficult and changeable weather conditions. If they can resist Finland’s weather, the buses will enter service in late summer or early fall, joining the electric buses that are already on the road.
But what’s so good about hydrogen According to a report, a 12-meter bus consumes 6-7kg of hydrogen per 100 kilometers, while an 18-meter bus uses less than 9 kg, leading to a substantial reduction in fuel consumption.
These environmentally friendly buses will be first introduced in Jyvaskyla, a city noted for its clean energy initiatives. Its public transportation system already features electric and renewable-fuel vehicles, and it’s home to Finland’s first large-size green hydrogen refueling station, making it an ideal testing ground.
Besides, a new research initiative is using smart systems to monitor the mood inside buses. Using cameras, sensors, and analytics, these systems interpret the passengers’ expressions and movements, helping the operators anticipate potential disturbances or conflicts. “With this technology, we can build smart transport environments where operators, passengers, technology providers, and safety personnel work closely,” said Jani Vare, the head of innovation and IPR at Teleste, one of the companies leading the project.
The project also takes privacy seriously striving (力争) to balance public safety and individual privacy rights. With its creative use of renewable energy and cutting-edge technology for a better passenger experience, Finland is truly leading the pack.
12. What might be the hydrogen-powered buses’ challenge in Finland
A. Gaining public acceptance. B. Consuming much less fuel.
C. Surviving the tough climate. D. Competing with electric buses.
13. Why is Jyvaskyla chosen to test the new buses
A. It owns supporting facilities. B. It features good air quality.
C. It just holds few green buses. D. It has many hydrogen stations.
14. Why are smart systems recommended inside the buses
A. To reduce the drivers’ workload. B. To ensure a safe bus environment.
C. To help operators to tackle conflicts. D. To identify passengers’ real needs.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Green and Smart; Finland’s New Buses B. On the Move: The Transport Revolution
C. Hydrogen Buses: Finland’s Future Vehicles D. Privacy on Buses: An Emerging Problem

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。
It was my first day at the international summer camp in Canada. Students from over twenty countries gathered in the dining hall for breakfast. The atmosphere was lively, filled with greetings in different languages that blended into a cheerful symphony of cultural diversity. Some laughed easily, exchanging jokes with their new friends, while others eagerly compared notes on their travel experiences. Yet I sat alone at a corner table, feeling overwhelmed by the unfamiliar environment and the fast rhythm of English conversations around me.
As I nervously picked at my scrambled eggs, a girl with curly blonde hair approached my table. “Mind if I sit here ” she asked with a warm smile. I nodded, grateful for the company. “I’m Emma, from Sweden,” she introduced herself, extending her hand. “Li Ming, from China,” I replied, shaking her hand tentatively. Her friendliness softened my nervousness.
“Is this your first time abroad ” Emma asked, noticing my unease. I admitted it was, and that I was worried about my English skills. “Don’t worry,” she said reassuringly, “everyone here is learning from each other. That’s the beauty of this camp.” Her words comforted me, but I still felt the weight of being far from home.
During the morning activity session, Emma and I ended up in the same group with students from Brazil, Japan, and France. The challenge required us to solve riddles in English and find hidden clues. I struggled to understand some of the wordplay, often asking for explanations. Though my teammates were patient and encouraging, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was slowing them down. Still, the moment we were going to solve the last riddle together, I realized I was beginning to belong.
注意：
