Their twins-a girl and a boy-were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two p

20、ounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and hed stopped breathing. I saw him breath, but the doctor said it was no use, ” Kate told the Daily Mail. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still breathing, that was a sign of

21、life. I wasnt going to give up easily. Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him. “I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us, Kate told Today. Wed resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to l

22、ose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments. Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to

23、-skin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him. “We were trying to entice him to stay, Kate told the Daily Mail. We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him. ”Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again

24、-and then he started breathing. Finally, the couples lost boy had made it. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. Emily burst into tears, Kate said. She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This w

28、ture. Doc Brown swoops in from the future to pick up his partner in a De-Lorean fueled by trash. In 2022 trash-powered vehicles still sound like science fiction, but a technology revolution may be turning them into a reality. Hidden among the carefully striated（条纹）layers of waste at the local landfi

29、ll is a potent energy source: methane gas. When it isnt transformed into something else, methane is an extremely strong pollutant, 82 times as powerful as carbon dioxide. In a lesson about how the energy transition is likely to play out, landfill operators ability to make use of excess gas has explo

30、ded in recent years. New facilities are being created to convert（转化） trash into renewable natural gas（RNG）. The potential has spurred（刺激） major sanitation and energy companies to break into this new market. In October the British company BP agreed to acquire Archaea Energy, a company that designs, b

31、uilds and operates RNG plants in the U. S. to convert waste emissions. Archaea produces 6, 000 oil-equivalent barrels（油桶当量）a day through 13 RNG facilities with plans to construct 88 more to serve rising demand. Our only input is trash. Archaea sells largely to voluntary buyers who wish to lock in cl

32、ean gas at fair prices. RNG still comes at a high price compared with other fuel sources, but reducing the cost of producing RNG will mean more of it is available to buyers on attractive terms. We are working to lower the price of RNG by creating standardized and modular（模块化的）production facilities w

33、ith decreased operating costs, higher processing efficiency, and uptime rates that start above 90%. Small-scale breakthroughs in gas processing enabled us to improve the portion of usable natural gas recovered from landfills to 95%, up from an industry standard of 75%. Some of the predictions in Bac

34、k to the Future proved too far-fetched. Flying cars seem as distant today aas they were in the 1980s. But power from trash? Today trash represents a permanent carbon-negative source of natural gas. Voluntary transactions in RNG and the micro-scale process improvements that have boosted this market s

35、uggest a far more circular economy on the horizon. 28. According to the passage, which one of the following is true?A. There are high concentrations of carbon methane gas in the waste of landfills. B. The burning efficiency of methane is 82 times that of carbon dioxide. C. In recent years, landfill

36、operators have abused excess gas and caused explosions. D. People are building new facilities to convert garbage into renewable energy. 29. What is the industry standard for the proportion of natural gas recovered from landfills?A. 70%B. 75%C. 90%D. 95% 30. It can be inferred about Archaea Energy fr

37、om the text that _.A. The company closed down in October unluckily. B. If there are 88 RNG facilities, Archaea will be able to produce more than 6000 barrels of oil per day. C. Archaea produces renewable natural gas by importing garbage and some chemical additives. D. The company is committed to ena

38、bling buyers to get more RNG on attractive terms. 31. What is the authors attitude towards flying cars fueled by garbage?A. Optimistic. B. Objective. C. Pessimistic. D. NeutralDSchumpeter is only an amateur stargazer（天文爱好者）. His equipment is no fancier than a pair of eyes and a place in the countrys

39、ide, away from Londons light pollution. That is enough to make out Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn-and, occasionally, the International Space Station crossing the sky. In the past few years a new spectacle has appeared in the form of the Starlink satellites. Launched by SpaceX, they look like nothin

40、g else in the heavens, floating like a train of white dots in tight formation. SpaceX is a remarkable firm founded to further Mr Musks dream of colonizing Mars. Its rockets cost half as much as its rivals do, thanks in part to their ability to land their first stages for reuse rather than dumping th

41、em in the sea in line with standard industry practice. SpaceXs rocket business alone does not justify this rich valuation. The market for launches is small and stagnant （不景气的）. This is where Starlink comes in. Those satellites are the lead of a planned constellation1（发射计划）of over1, 000, designed to

42、beam （传输）the Internet to every corner of the globe. Satellite broadband is not a new idea. But existing options are expensive and slow. Starlinks cheap, mass-produced, low-flying satellites would, SpaceX claims, offer a service comparable to earthly broadband at competitive prices. Starlinks chief c

43、ompetitor is OneWeb, with 74 satellites in orbit and hundreds more planned. It, too, went bust in March, after failing to persuade SonMasayoshi, a Japanese billionaire, to invest more cash. But it has new sponsors. On July 3rd Boris Johnson, Britains prime minister, announced that his government had

44、 stumped up S500m for a 45% stake in OneWeb, and a golden share giving it control over its future. Bharti Global, an Indian telecoms firm, also put in S500m. OneWeb may need more cash if it is to complete its constellation. British taxpayers may never see a financial return on their investment. But

45、if OneWeb keeps Mr Musk on his toes even for a little while, their loss may turn out to be global consumers gain. Stranger things have happened in space. 32. What is the function of Paragraph 1?A. To show respect for amateur stargazers. B. To draw readers attention to light pollution. C. To introduc

46、e the topic of Starlink satellites. D. To give an example of observing stars. 33. What is the reason for the emergence of Starlink?A. The rocket launch market is small and depressed. B. SpaceXs rockets can be recycled in the first stage of launch. C. The rocket cost of SpaceX is only half that of it

47、s competitors. D. Starlink can provide services comparable to earthly broadband at competitive prices. 34. How did OneWeb maintain its economy?A. It built 74 in-orbit satellites and planned hundreds of them. B. It persuaded SonMasayoshi to invest more money. C. Boris Johnsons government and an India

48、n company invested a total of S1 billion. D. The continuous competition between OneWeb and SpaceX brought it benefits. 35. From the last paragraph, we can infer thatA. OneWebs financial losses may turn out to be global consumers gainB. the battle between OneWeb and SpaceX may benefit global consumer

49、sC. Mr Musk may step on global consumers toes when he achieves successD. OneWeb no longer needs financial support from British taxpayers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。Idioms are one of the hardest parts of learning a language. For those of you who dont know, an idio

50、m is a phrase which has a meaning, 36 If you translate an idiom word for word, it sometimes makes no sense at all. They are like puzzles and even native speakers can get confused when someone uses a phrase that theyve never heard of. With that in mind, here are five common English idioms that you ca

51、n use in a variety of situations. 1. Get your act together （Meaning: you need to improve your behaviour/work）This might be something your teacher says to you if you score badly in an exam or if you misbehave in class. 37 . For example, if your friend is being mean or nasty for no reason, then you ca

52、n tell them that they need to get their act together. 2. Pull yourself together （Meaning: calm down）38 , because you need to tell someone they are overreacting and that they need to relax. Only use this if you think the person you are speaking to is getting upset over something insignificant. If you

53、r friend tells you that their close relative has died, it is NOT the time to tell them to pull themselves together. 3. Im feeling under the weather （Meaning: Im sick）Yes, its longer and more difficult to say than Im sick, but if your English teacher asks you why you havent done your homework, 39 You

54、 may not have done your English homework, but your teacher might be impressed that you know how to make eloquent excuses in a foreign language. 4. Its a piece of cake （Meaning: its easy）I dont know why this means what it does, but sometimes you just have to accept that English people use weird phras

55、es. 5. Break a leg （Meaning: good luck!）40. If someone says this to you, do not take offence or think they are threatening you; instead, they are just wishing you luck. It is most often used for people wishing success to actors and actresses before they perform on the stage, but it can be said in ot

56、her situations, too. All in all, learning a new language can be challenging. Its definitely not a piece of cake, especially when there are so many confusing idioms. However, with enough hard work and interest, you will succeed in no time. Break a leg!A. This is a somewhat impolite English idiomB. Th

57、is is especially useful for bad-mannered peopleC. You can also use it to talk about people in generalD. so you need to translate the phrase literallyE. but the meaning is not clear from the words themselvesF.
