11、sculpture.Chair Transformation Number 20B, made in 1996-by Lucas SamarasHere, Samaras explores the double meaning of flight, referring to both the stairlike form created by the stacked chairs, and the movement of a single chair moving through space.

14、a blind poet and folk musician who lived in New York City, and Smith has also compared this sculpture to Dog Barking at the Moon, a painting by Joan Miro.

His ride broke down on one cold night in Deming. Beach remembered being tired, hungry, and cold.

19、 With no money in his pocket, he wondered where he might spend the night. Police officers approached Beach who was standing downtown and he begged them to take him to prison just so he could be warm. The officers of course refused his request as he had not done anything wrong. Beach found a business

20、 doorway and settled in for the night.When morning came, an Asian man walked out of the building and asked him how he might help and then handed him a bag of donuts, Beach recalled. Those were likely the best donuts he had ever tasted. Then reaching out to his family, he returned home immediately.No

21、w, sixty-seven years later, Beach got in touch with the Deming-Luna Chamber of Commerce and told his story about his brief sojourn in Deming to the new Executive Director Debbie Troyer. Troyer posted Beachs story on the Chamber of Commerce and Community Facebook page where several people thought Bea

22、ch might be referring to the Bowmans Bakery on Pine Street. The community continued its search while the workers continued to look through old phone directories(电话簿). Finally, they decided they had come to a dead end.After 50 years serving as a judge and entering retirement, Beach wanted to say than

23、k-you to the community of Deming by sending a $ 1,000 check to a local homeless shelter.

24、ly February. The Chamber would like to thank Judge Robert Beach for bringing Deming together in their search for the mysterious baker, Troyer said.

27、velers Magic Cold Night in Deming 67 Years AgoD. Retired Rorida Judge Rewards Kindness in Deming 67 Years LaterCWhether youre an early-bird or a night-owl, getting regular exercise is still generally a good idea at some point in your schedule. It turns out, however, that when you do your workout may

28、 affect your body differently. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen and the University of California, Irvine discovered these significant differences by placing mice on a treadmill(跑步机)at various times of day. Mice are animals active at night so their biological rhythm(生物节律)runs in the oppo

29、site direction from humans. Their morning starts when it gets dark and their night starts when it gets light. There appear to be rather significant differences between the effect of exercise performed in the morning and evening, and these differences are probably controlled by the bodys biological c

30、lock, says co-author Jonas Thue Treebak, an associate professor from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, in a release.The authors found that when mice are on a morning exercise schedule, the cells in their muscles are able to process fat and sugar better. That being said

31、, they also noted that running on the treadmill in the evening causes mice to use more energy (burn more calories) for longer periods of time. Morning exercise starts gene programs in the muscle cells, making them more effective and better able to metabolize(代谢)sugar and fat. Evening exercise, on th

32、e other hand, increases whole body energy consumption for an extended period of time, says Treebak.These findings are especially interesting to the research team because they seem to indicate the time of day when people with severe overweight or type-2 diabetes might be able to maximize the exercise

33、 gains. Still, these differing effects make it difficult for the researchers to determine when is better in general to exercise.At this point, we can only conclude that the effects of the two appear to differ, and we certainly have to do more work to determine the potential mechanisms(机制)for the ben

34、eficial effects of exercise training performed at these two time-points, says Treebak.28. What decides the different effects of exercise according to the new study?A. The biological clock. B. The place to work out.C. The exercise machine. D. The length of the exercise.29. What does paragraph 2 mainl

35、y talk about?A. The best time for mice to exercise.B. Unexpected things during mices exercise.C. The importance of exercising in the morning to mice.D. The different effects of morning and evening exercise on mice.30. Why do the findings interest the researchers?A. They can help some people to put o

What will the researchers do next?A. Set the best time for people to exercise.B. Train more people to perform

37、 morning exercise.C. Take some measures to treat unhealthy people.D. Figure out the reasons for the different benefits of exercise.DA report lasting almost three decades showed that transportation-flying, driving, rail, commercial shipping, etc. -is responsible for a larger share of domestic greenho

38、use gas (GHG) emissions(排放)than any other economic sector. Though passenger cars currently account for the largest portion of transportation-related GHG emissions, air travel is one of the fastest-growing polluters. In 2018, aircraft were responsible for 9% of U. S. transportation sector GHG emissio

39、ns and 2.4% of total carbon dioxide emissions globally.The carbon dioxide emitted from one round-trip flight from New York to London totals about 1, 259 pounds per passenger, according to ICAOs Carbon Emissions Calculator-thats more than what the average citizen of Kenya (and more than 30 other coun

40、tries) emits over a full year.Planes also leave behind those ice trails(痕迹)-called contrail clouds-which are even more polluting than the CO2 they produce. The word contrails is a mix of condensation and trails. They occur when waste gases mix with low-temperature, high-humidity(湿度)air. Contrails ar

41、e harmful not just because they block sunlight, but also because they trap heat coming up from the ground, finally creating a warming effect below.Today, alternative fuels that are similar in chemistry to traditional fossil jet fuel, but made from waste and raw materials instead, are becoming more c

42、ommonplace. San Francisco International Airport has already started delivering sustainable aviation(航空)fuel through a pipeline: American, JetBlue, and Alaska Airlines are some of the industry players that have committed to using it.New research suggests that because contrail clouds form only in very

43、 low temperatures, reducing the altitude of flights even slightly could dramatically minimize contrail climate forcing. One study found that just 2% of flights in Japans airspace were responsible for 80% of that spaces radiative forcing. The same study estimated that if even 1.7% of flights reduced

44、their altitude by 2,000 feet-which is a normal amount of variation from the flight path anyway-the climate impact of contrails could be cut by 59%.32. What can we learn about air travel in America from paragraph 1?A. It emitted more CO2 than passenger cars did in 2018.B. It is the most convenient me

45、ans of transportation.C. It accounted for over two percent of global CO2 emissions in 2018.D. It is considered as the largest air polluter recently.33. What harm will the contrails of the plane cause?A. Global warming. B. Low temperatures.C. Expensive flying costs. D. Increasing water in the air.34.

46、 Why does the author mention the airlines in paragraph 4?A. To show alternative fuels are much cheaper.B. To prove alternative fuels are increasingly popular.C. To announce alternative fuels have a huge effect on the air.D. To stress raw materials of alternative fuels are common.35. What does the ne

47、w research expect airplanes to do to reduce the harm of the contrails?A. Change their flight paths. B. Reduce some flight distance.C. Develop alternative fuels. D.
