However, theres one additional feature its also eatable.Kota and Yuya are the intelligence behind the formation of Fabula Inc., a company with purposes of reducing food waste, and helping fight global warming. As expected, something this unique took years to develo

58、p. It took a few attempts to find just the right process. Kota and Yuya created the unique technology while researching possible environment-friendly materials to replace cement-based concrete. Cement production accounts for 8% of the worlds carbon dioxide release.After a few failures, they realized

59、 they could get the cement to bind (黏合) by adjusting the temperatures. “The most challenging part was that each type of food waste requires different temperatures,” Yuya said. So the researchers had to observe them and respond in time. In the experiments, Kota and Yuya have successfully made cement

60、using tea leaves, coffee grounds, cabbage and even lunchbox leftovers.Fabula Inc. is currently working to make tea cups and furniture, but Yuya is thinking a little bit bigger. Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. “For example, if food cannot

63、us food waste is.30. What made the experiment of making cement out of food waste harder?A. Making sure to make cement tasty.B. Selecting correct food waste timely.C. Getting cement broken apart easily.D. Adjusting the temperatures constantly.31. What does the underlined word “makeshift” in the last

64、paragraph mean?A. bendable.B. commercial.C. recyclable.D. temporary.【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种用粮食垃圾制造的一种新型可以食用的水泥。【28题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段中“This is the first-ever process created for making cement entirely from food waste.

(Kota和Yuya是Fabula公司成立背后的智慧，这家公司的宗旨是减少食物浪费，帮助对抗全球变暖。)”可知，Kota和Yuya利用食物垃圾是为了应对全球气候变化。故选A项。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“The most challenging part was that

67、each type of food waste requires different temperatures. (最具挑战性的部分是每种食物垃圾需要不同的温度。)”可知，需要不断调节温度让从食物垃圾中制造水泥的实验变得更加困难。故选D项。【31题详解】词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Their product could provide relief in the form of eatable emergency shelters in disaster ones. (他们的产品可以在灾难中以可食用的紧急避难所的形式提供救济。)”说明他们的产品可以用作临时紧急避难所，从而推知划线词句“For e

68、xample, if food cannot be delivered to the people, they could eat makeshift beds made out of food cement. (例如，如果食物不能送到人们手中，他们可以吃用食品水泥做成的makeshift床。)”其中划线词汇意思为“临时的，暂时的”，即：如果赈灾食品不能及时到位，被困人员可以吃食品水泥做成的临时床救急，故选D项。DVirtual reality gamers (VR game) who finished it faster than their fellow gamers also have

69、higher levels of general intelligence and processing capacity. This was the result of a study conducted by Markus Weinmann from the University of Cologne. The results also indicate that virtual reality games can be useful supplementary (补充) human resource management tools in companies for predicting

70、 the job performance of an applicant.Several studies have already shown that video games may indicate or even help to develop intellectual and cognitive abilities. As intelligence is one of the most commonly used predictors for job performance, video games could be interesting for the human resource

71、 management. Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit (招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area. The study contributes to bridging the gap between research a

Under controlled laboratory conditions, they played the commercial VR game “Job Simulator”and completed the short version of the intelligence test BIS-4. The researchers analyses show that an increase of 17% in processing capacity correlate

73、d with less time spent playing the game (by an average of 3.7 minutes).The results are a scientific novelty, as it has hardly been possible to conduct VR studies with state-of-the-art VR hardware. There are thus few studies that have investigated the correlation between behavior in VR and intelligen

74、ce, “There are already some companies that use games, so-called serious games, for recruiting. The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann.The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of vid

75、eo games for practical applications. Among other things, they are investigating how people behave in virtual world.32. What can we learn from Weinmanns study?A. The results are far from satisfactory.B. The participants can play the game freely.C. It aims to develop intellectual ability.D. It helps t

78、说明文。主要介绍的是一项研究发现虚拟现实游戏可以作为人力资源管理的辅助工具，用于对应聘者的工作能力进行测试。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although many companies are increasingly using VR technology to recruit(招募) candidates, only few studies have specifically investigated whether and how VR games can be used to draw conclusions about intelligence in this area.

79、 The study contributes to bridging the gap between research and practice.(尽管许多公司越来越多地使用VR技术来招聘候选人，但只有少数研究专门调查了VR游戏是否以及如何用于得出这一领域的智力结论。这项研究有助于弥合研究与实践之间的空缺。)”可知，该项研究填补了在研究与实践之间的空缺，所以这项研究帮助把研究与实践结合起来。故选D项。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The new results are in line with this specific application of VR games and

80、show that they can be used for recruiting,” said Weinmann.(新的结果与VR游戏的具体应用相一致，并表明它们可以用于招聘。”)”可知，Weinmann认为这项研究成果可用于招聘中，所以他对研究结果持赞成态度。故选C项。【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据尾段“The scientists intend to continue their research on the potential of video games for practical applications. Among other things, they are investi

81、gating how people behave in virtual world.(科学家们打算继续研究电子游戏在实际应用中的潜力。除此之外，他们正在调查人们在虚拟世界中的行为。)”可知，科学家将继续研究电子游戏在实际应用中的潜力以及人们在虚拟世界中的行为，由此可推断，该段主要介绍的是未来研究的方向。故选B项。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据首段中的“The results also indicate that virtual reality games can be useful supplementary(补充) human resource management tools in com

82、panies for predicting the job performance of an applicant.(研究结果还表明，虚拟现实游戏可以作为企业人力资源管理的辅助工具，用于预测应聘者的工作表现。)”并结合下文对该研究成果的分析可知，本文主要介绍的为VR虚拟现实游戏可知用于招聘中对应聘人员的工作表现进行测试，所以“VR game可用于招聘”作为文章题目概括了全文内容也体现了文章主题。故选A项。第二节( 每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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。Public speaking is the act of
