A Malawian woman, Gloria Majiga-Kamoto, was recently awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for Africa-the world's leading award for grassroots environmental activists.

Gloria Majiga-Kamoto was then working for a local environmental organization with a program that gave goats to rural farmers, who would use the goat waste to produce low-cost, high-quality organic fertilizer （肥料）. The problem？ The thin plastic bags covering the Malawian countryside. “We have this very common street food, chiwaya, which is salty and served in little blue plastics, ”Majiga-Kamoto says. ＂Goats eat the plastic for salty taste and they die because it blocks the ingestion （摄食） system. ”For her, this was the moment when it all changed. All of a sudden, she started noticing how plastics were everywhere in the Malawian environment and food system-affecting people's living and health.

“I remember back in the day when we'd go to the market and buy things like fish, you'd get it in newspapers, ” the 30-year-old says. But thin plastics took off in the last decade or so as new producers sprung up in Malawi, selling products like thin plastic bags at cheap prices. In fact, the Malawian government decided to ban the importation, production and distribution of single-use plastic in 2015. But before the ban could go into full effect, Malawi's plastics-producing industry appealed to the country's High Court against the ban, causing it to be suspended.

When Majiga-Kamoto and her fellow environmentalists heard about this, they were annoyed. She organized marches and rejected the plastic industry's argument that the ban would hurt Malawi's economy-and even debated with an industry spokesman on TV. Finally in 2019, Malawi's High Court ruled in favor of the ban. The following year, the government began closing down illegal plastic producers.

Michael Sutton, executive director of the Goldman Environmental Foundation, said, "Majiga-Kamoto's fight with the plastic industry is a perfect example of the spirit of the prize. "

24. What made Majiga-Kamoto realize the problem?

A. Her experience with plastic-eating goats.

B. Her discovery of goat waste everywhere.

C. Her doubt about the safety of street food.

D. Her care for the farmers living in poverty.

25. What can we learn about Malawi?

A. It used to be extremely rich in fish.

B. It advocated using thin plastic bags.

C. It failed to ban single-use plastic at first.

D. It relied heavily on the plastic industry.

26. What was the purpose of Majiga-Kamoto's acts in Paragraph 4?

A. To put the ban into effect.

B. To support the government.

C. To back the plastic industry up.

D. To promote Malawi's economy.

27. Which of the following best describes Majiga-Kamoto?

A. Humble.

B. Generous.

C. Patient.

D. Committed.

C

Honeybees understand that “nothing” can be “something” that has numerical meaning, showing that they have a primitive grasp of the concept of zero, according to a newly-published study in Science.

Previous experiments have shown that honeybees have some facility for numbers, because they were able to count landmarks （地标）as they searched around for a sweet reward. But in these tests, the insects couldn't count very high--only to about four. Still, that made researchers in Australia and France want to explore what else the bees could do with numbers.

Scarlett Howard at RMIT University in Melbourne attracted bees to a wall where they were presented with two square cards. Each card had a different number of black symbols, such as dots or triangles. Howard trained one group of bees to understand that sugar water would always be located under the card with the least number of symbols. ＂They could come and see two circles versus （与. . . 相对） three circles, or four triangles versus one triangle, ＂ she explains. The bees quickly learned to fly to the card with the fewest symbols,

But then they got another test, The researchers presented the bees with a card that had a single symbol and a blank card that had nothing on it. The bees seemed to understand that “zero" was less than one, because they flew toward the blank card more often than you'd expect if they were choosing at random. “When we showed them zero-versus six, they did that at a much higher level than zero versus one, ” Howard says. “So what tells us is that they consider zero as an actual quantity along the number line. ”

Aurore Avargues-Weber, a researcher with the University of Toulouse, points out even very young children have trouble understanding that zero is a number. “It's easy for them to count 'one, two, three, four, ' but zero, it's not something to count, " she explains. What's more, the brains of bees are incredibly tiny brains compared with the brains of humans. Even so, the bees can understand the abstract concept of an empty set and she says she found that very surprising.

28. What did the earlier studies find about bees?

A. They could fly higher than expected.

B. They could understand some numbers.

C. They could remember a reward well.

D. They could explore local landmarks.

29. What did bees learn to do in Howard's first test?

A. Distinguish circles from triangles.

B. Draw various symbols on the cards.

C. Identify the smaller of the two numbers.

D. Locate sugar water with symbol shapes.

30. Why did bees fly to the blank card more frequently?

A. They were told the location of the reward.

B. They chose to do it thoroughly by chance.

C. They preferred the card with nothing on it.

D. They thought of zero as an actual number.

31. Why are young children mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. To argue that bees have a surprising memory.

B. To show that bees' gift for numbers is amazing.

C. To explain that bees learn as well as young children.

D. To confirm that bees are smarter than young children.

D

Transport is undergoing a massive transformation so it can meet society's demands for a low- carbon economy. Introducing electric vehicles （EV） and declining gasoline use are helping, but zero- carbon hydrogen can speed up both the transition （转变）and long-term decarbonization of transport.

In the US, transportation produces the largest share of all greenhouse gas emissions （排放）in the economy at 29%, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. More than 90% of transport fuel is petrol based, but if more vehicles used hydrogen, emissions of this kind would plummet.

However, hydrogen is not considered an ideal replacement for gasoline as an engine fuel for cars because it is harder to store safely. And while fuel cell electric vehicles （FCEVs） that turn hydrogen into electricity can compete with EV performance-and even out-compete them on range and refill time, extra energy is needed to produce the hydrogen needed for fuel. Also, finding investment for storage, pipelines and fuel stations is still a challenge for many nations.

Currently, governments worldwide are backing green hydrogen projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in heavy industries like freight （货运）, steel, and energy storage. But hydrogen transport will need rapid production methods to create the fuel needed for the world's road fleet.

Thankfully, research is advancing all the time. Nanoscale （纳米级的）thin films are applied to improving the chemical process to rapidly harvest hydrogen from the seawater. The same technology has been successfully used in solar power devices with higher efficiency-to-cost rates. Since hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and as seawater makes up about 96% of all water on Earth, there is a virtually limitless supply.

Even wastewater and solid waste can create green hydrogen. Researchers at Princeton University are using sunlight to separate hydrogen from industrial wastewater. Chemical plants that currently face high costs for cleaning wastewater could transform it into clean hydrogen supplies.

32. What does the underlined word “plummet" mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Stop.

B. Decrease.

C. Continue.

D. Disappear.

33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. Ways of storing hydrogen safely.

B. Benefits of fuel cell electric vehicles.

C. Challenges of using hydrogen as car fuel.

D. Differences between gasoline and hydrogen.

34. What makes it more efficient to get hydrogen from the ocean?

A. The application of solar power devices.

B. The method of identifying water elements.

C. The invention. of the water transport system.

D. The use of the nanoscale thin-film technology.

35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Clean Energy Hydrogen Ready to Take Off

B. Traditional Fuels Bound to Reach a Dead End

C. How We Can Generate Energy from Hydrogen

D. What the Future of Transportation May Be Like

The smart system began as one of the functions of the payment app, a function which was 60 （original） intended for the app's staff in China, and later developed as a national standard function in some popular apps. Now the smart system, the Health Code, has a new function which 61 （indicate） whether a person can enter public places through analyzing the data 62 （collect） to see whether that person has had contact with those who have picked up a pandemic disease. The Health Code has avoided the need to over-tighten social distancing measures that could result 63 a huge economic loss while at the same time picking out possible infection 64 （case）, and it's managed to reduce infection rates in cities 65 it has been used.

Sam, Wayne and Tim were three men in their 60s, jamming in the same dusty old garage where they used to play music when they were in high school. They chatted up after ages, remembering the school days when they would take to the stage and play together as a band.

Wayne looked around, wide-eyed. “It's been more than 40 years since we practised here. "

“Yes! And remember how we promised to keep in touch and play together once a week?” Tim laughed. “Sam, remember our brilliant plans?”

“Ah yes! We thought we were inseparable! Now, look at us! Old and wrinkled, joints hurting, meeting at each other's grandkids' weddings. . . we're terrible at keeping in touch, except Will, of course. He was always calling and messaging. Where is Will? He's the guy who planned this, ”Sam smiled.

Just then, the three men＇s phones buzzed （嗡嗡地响）, and the message they received made their hearts sink. It was a message from Jenny, Will's wife. Wayne rushed to his car, and the others followed. A short drive later, the three men knocked on the door of Will's house and tried to wait patiently.

Jenny looked almost unrecognizably pale and told them that Will was taking a nap. The medicines made him all weak. It moved the three men to tears to see their fourth band member in such poor health.

And that day, they found out the whole story of Will's illness. Will's heart condition was serious, and it had been worsening over the past few months. The doctor said only a surgery could help. But it was going to cost at least $15, 000. And after all the previous treatments, Will and Jenny didn't have that kind of money anymore. Jenny said the doctors had given Will 6 months, bursting into helpless tears. The three men comforted her and wiped their own tears. “Money isn't an issue, ” Sam said as an idea came to him.
