21、Coffee chains create a lot of waste, from disposable takeaway cups to the used coffee grounds(咖啡渣) that are sent to landfills. Starbucks has started to try recyclable alternatives to the disposable cups. But the used coffee is often unnoticed.

The world drinks around 2 billion cups of coffee a day, producing 6 million tons of used grounds every year. When they go to landfills, the grounds release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

U.K. Bio-bean has found a way to turn that waste into valuable resources. At Bio-bean, used coffee grounds are processed to remove paper cups or plastic bags, and then passed through a dryer and a further screening process. They are finally processed into the fuel, Coffee Log.

"Coffee is highly calorific and lends itself to being a really fantastic fuel," says George May, director of Bio-bean. "Coffee Log burns about 20% hotter and 20% longer than wood logs do."

While the fuel releases greenhouse gases when burned, if it replaces other carbon-based fuels, Bio-bean estimates that the recycling process reduces emissions by 80% compared with sending the grounds to landfills.

Founded in 2013, Bio-bean grew rapidly, launching coffee collection services across the U.K. and building the world's first coffee recycling factory only two years later. In 2016, they launched their first product, Coffee Log, and in 2019 their first natural flavor ingredient into the food and drink industry.

"We've really managed to succeed with our innovation（创新） because we've managed to get to scale--the service of our company is in larger demand.What started as a good idea is today the U.K.'s largest recycling plant of coffee grounds. We are turning 7 ,000 tons of those grounds per year into the fuel," says May. "Despite being delayed by the COVID-19, we plan to expand our operation into northwestern Europe within the next five years."

【1】What do the first two paragraphs suggest?

A．It's necessary to ban coffee consumption.

B．Drinking coffee is increasingly popular around the world.

C．Measures should be taken to recycle coffee waste.

D．Coffee grounds are the only cause of global warming.

【2】What is the Bio-bean's Coffee Log?

A．A solid fuel

B．A natural food.

C．A cup of hot coffee.

D．A tree trunk.

【3】What do we know about Bio-bean after it was founded?

A．It is a high-tech company with a long history.

B．It is a promising recycling plant of coffee grounds.

C．It is started to produce coffee and fuels.

D．It is developing faster than Starbucks.

【4】What does the underlined phrase "get to scale" in the last paragraph mean?

A．Measure accurately.

23、Stargazers can visit famous dark-sky parks in the world and enjoy unpolluted views of night skies. Let's take a deeper dive into what you'll see at the dark-sky parks.

Joshua Tree National Park, California

Joshua Tree National Park is a popular attraction for stargazers living on the west coast. Despite being influenced by light pollution on its western borders from Coachella Valley cities, its relative isolation from major cities in the east(with Phoenix being the closest city area some 300 miles away), provides it with some of the darkest skies in California.

Elqui Valley, Chile

A popular wine region centered on the Elqui River in northern Chile, the Elqui Valley also offers ideal conditions(high-altitude, low-population, limited cloud cover) for uncorking a bottle and toasting the heavens above. Spanning some 90,000 acres, the region has the distinction of being named the first-ever Dark Sky Sanctuary by the International Astronomical Union in 2015.

It's also home to nearly a dozen observatories, boutique stargazing hotels and a large variety of tours that cover both cosmic and daytime spectacles.

Wadi Rum, Jordan

One of Jordan's most valuable tourist destinations, Wadi Rum is an otherworldly mountain desert featuring dramatic rock formations and wind-swept rust-colored dunes. Wadi Rum is an incredible landscape too (used for a lot of sci-fi movies like Rogue One, Prometheus and The Martian) and it's one of the dark places where you can just sit and look up at the wonder of the night sky with very little interruption.

Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, America

It's no surprise that Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve has been building a reputation for good night sky viewing. The dry air, high elevation, and lack of light pollution all make the park an ideal dark-sky destination.

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains block much of the sky glow coming from nearby cities, shrouding(遮蔽，笼罩)the park-with its 149,164 acres of dunes, wetlands, grasslands, forests and alpine tundra-in darkness.

24、   You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.

One of the big changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.

“We definitely have the technology for it now,” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier QNX. “We expect self-driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025. ”

The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years.These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California. Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars have no steering wheels (方向盘）or pedals.

Last week, police ordered one of Google’s cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not disobeying any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak with the operators of the vehicle. According to Google, its self-driving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years. So far, no Google self-driving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.

Other companies are working on self-driving cars. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Volvo and Toyota all have plans for such vehicles. A company called BestMile plans to operate selfdriving buses in Switzerland next spring. The buses will hold up to nine people and will be tested for two years. Mercedes-Benz is developing large self-driving trucks for long trips. These trucks use drivers to control them.

【1】What Andrew Poliak said suggests that .

A. he takes pride in their technology on self-driving cars

B. he is eager to sell their technology on self-driving cars

C. he is optimistic about the development of self-driving cars

D. he feels sure people will soon have the technology for self-driving cars

【2】Why did the police order one of Google’s cars to stop last week?

A. Because its speed was too low.

B. Because it disobeyed local laws.

C. Because the operators behaved badly.

D. Because there existed technological problems.

【3】What caused some of Google’s self-driving cars to have accidents?

A. Lack of experience. B. High speed.

C. Other cars’ faults. D. Too much traffic.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A. Self-driving Cars

B. How to Develop Self-driving Cars

C. The Advantages of Self-driving Cars

D. Owning A Self-driving Car Is Fashionable

26、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。

Light a lamp and we can warm a heart. Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often complaining that he had been cheated by others and cursed his own misfortune. Having stayed in the city for years, he thought he accomplished nothing.

One day, he told his wife he was so disappointed with the city that he had to leave it immediately. So, his family moved to another city, which he thought would bring good fortune to him. However, it was not easy for people to move to another place, for they had to handle quantities of stuffs and encounter many strangers. The whole family reached there in the evening of a weekend, with their clothes almost wet. It was a tough rainy night. The wind was howling dreadfully and the rain was pouring from the heaven, beating against the branches of lined trees on the road. The world was swallowed with a sea of darkness. Tired and wet, they didn’t have time to have supper. Terry and his wife were busily tidying up their new home when the light suddenly went out. Worse still, the sudden darkness scared his children to cry immediately. Terry’s wife hurried to hug them to ease their tension. Terry was regretful to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait helplessly in a low mood.

Just then, he heard heavy but hesitant knocks on his door that could be clearly heard in the thundering night. Instantly, all the family were totally silent, for they were all curious about the knocks. “Who’s it?” Terry asked, since they were newcomers to this city there must be nobody who knew them. Tired and busy, he especially hated to be disturbed at the moment, so he dragged his legs slowly to the door and opened it impatiently. Actually, Terry didn’t realize his negative behavior would have a bad effect on his children at all! Outside the window, the wind and the thundering ruled the world entirely in their power.
