21、A Swiss company that developed technology to capture (捕获) carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air says it has launched the world’s largest plant to do so in Iceland. The company said the plant began operations on Wednesday.

The company partnered with Icelandic carbon storage provider Carbfix on the project. It says the new plant called Orca whose name is based on the Icelandic word for energy, Oirka, is designed to capture up to 3,600 metric tons of CO2 per year. That is the same amount of CO2 produced by about 790 automobiles during a year.

The International Energy Agency, IEA, estimates that this year, the amount of CO2 emissions (排放) worldwide will rise 1.5 billion metric tons to a total of 33 billion metric tons. Direct air capture is one of the few technologies that can remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. Many scientists see the process as critical to limiting harmful pollutant emissions. Such emissions are caused mainly by human activities. They can trap heat in the atmosphere and create higher temperatures. Many scientists blame this warming for increased heatwaves, wildfires, floods and rising sea levels across the world.

Orca uses eight large containers that look like those used in the shipping industry. A series of high-tech filters (过滤器) and blowers attached to the containers capture CO2. The captured carbon is then mixed with water and deposited deep underground, where it slowly turns into rock. Both technologies are powered by renewable energy from a nearby geothermal (地热) plant.

Direct air capture is still a new and costly technology. But developers hope to bring down the price by increasing operations as more companies and individuals seek the technology. Currently, there are 15 direct air capture plants operating worldwide. The American oil company Occidental is currently developing the largest direct air capture center. It aims to pull 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air around some of its Texas oilfields.

【1】What is Orca?

A．A kind of energy.

B．A Swiss company.

C．A high-tech factory.

D．A developed technology.

【2】What do scientists think of direct air capture?

A．It can stop global temperature rising.

B．It is crucial to deal with air pollution.

C．It is of great use for disaster prediction.

D．It can limit the amounts of gases in the air.

【3】What does the underlined word “deposited” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Stored.

B．Discovered.

C．Recycled.

D．Exposed.

【4】What can we infer about direct air capture from the last paragraph?

A．It will increase oil production.

B．It has shown little practical value.

C．It costs too much to improve it.

D．It would have a bright future.

22、Sustainable tourism focuses on reducing tourism’s negative impacts and on maximizing its positive benefits for communities, cultures, ecosystems, and the planet. There’s never been a better time to rethink past habits and reshape the way we travel. 【1】 As you read, think about which practices you can adopt.

Use efficient means of transportation. In general, planes and cars tend to be the least efficient means of transportation. When vacationing to closer destinations, travel by train or coach to cut your carbon footprint. Once you’re in your destination, consider taking the bus, or cycling around town. 【2】.

Conserve water and energy. Beyond transportation, tourism also relies on energy for heating, lighting, and centricity. This along with intensive water use by tourists can put great pressure on local water supplies and energy services. 【3】 Therefore, when you’re on vacation, do what you can to conserve local resources.

Slow down and stay awhile. Once you’ve reached your destination, you’ll likely spend the majority of your vacation rushing from one place to another. 【4】 Instead, you’d better slow down and park yourself in an area for a while. It will allow you to build deeper connections with local people and get to know the unique culture.

【5】 Travel offers tourists an opportunity to experience other traditions, beliefs and ways of life. Wherever you go, remember that the destination you are visiting is someone else’s home. Be considerate of local people and treat them with dignity. Do your best to leave places like you found them so that future generations of travelers and residents can enjoy them too!

A．Respect local communities.

B．Experience more about local life.

C．Many destinations struggle to keep up with the demand.

D．There are still plenty of businesses that don’t see the value.

E．That’s why we’ve rounded up our tips for sustainable travel.

F．Then you’ll miss out on actually getting to know the destination.

G．Actually, there’s no one-size-fits-all guideline for which method to use.

23、Ever wanted to learn a new language? Or maybe you need to speak a different language, for work or personal reasons? Here are some apps that will help you talk smartly in some nations on earth.

Living Language (Spanish)

The standard bearer (领袖) for language-learning apps, this series of apps from Random House Digital presents real language courses that teach vocabulary and grammar with some fun interactive games thrown in. The free download gets you eleven free lessons, but you can unlock the full app for $14.99, getting you all 46 lessons.Random House Digital has similar apps available for learning French, Italian, German, Chinese, and Japanese.

Learn a Language with Michel Thomas

        This one hails from the U.K., where Thomas' method for learning new languages has garnered some heavy-hitter endorsements (赞同) from the likes of Woody Allen, Emma Thompson, and Stephen Fry. Thomas teaches you with a simple, but highly effective process: “you listen, he explains, you speak.” Lessons run an hour a piece, and you buy the hour lessons you want from inside the free app, for $4.99 a pop.

The app actually monitors your sleeping patterns and activates itself at the right time, playing its short sentences while you’re asleep, to enhance your recall.

24、New York----Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural (就职）Ball dress four years ago -- and the risk paid off.

The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin, sweeping, and ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu. She teamed the dramatic dress with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.

She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been the custom made for her.

Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball, Michelle shimmered（熠熠生辉）in an off-white, one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer.

Wu, who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years, saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.

He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the dress and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.

After her 2013 decision, Wu told Women's Wear Daily: “Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets. She fooled me again.”

Wu released a women's clothing and accessories（装饰品）collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.

The sleeveless, cross-halter neck dress with low-cut back flattered（突出）49-year-old Michelle's arms and neat waist.

It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.

Mrs Obama's new hairstyle -- she had bangs（美发沙龙）cut on her birthday last week  had been loosely tousled（蓬松的）for the special night.

Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked attractive in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.

【1】What does the passage mainly talk about？

A. Designer Wu’s great works

B. Mrs. Obama’s decision to return to her former fashion designer

C. The First Lady’s secrets.

D. Wu, a great designer.

【2】Michelle Obama’s brave decision proved to be a_________.

A. risk B. danger   C. Surprise   D. success

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is correct?

A. Mrs Obama’s inaugural dresses were made by the same designer.

B. Joe Biden’s wife Jill also had her dress created by Wu.

C. The colour tone at Michelle’s earlier inaugural events was not satisfactory.

D. Mrs Obama had straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night.

【4】Which of the following best describes Jason Wu?
