Sme envirnmentalists claim that attempts t create a recycling ecnmy fr plastics are sure t fail, but the arguments can be nt true.
In 1980, Disney Wrld in Orland. Flrida, started t wrk n a new way t generate pwer fr the theme park, cutting its use f il, the price f which had increased. The Slid Waste Energy Cnversin Plant tk rubbish, including plastic, and used a methd called pyrlysis (热解) t turn it int burnable gases. It pened in 1982, but clsed a year later, as the cst f running it went up.
Tday, envirnmentalists are mentining the Disney stry t damage the reputatin f a set f new technlgies, well knwn as advanced recycling, which take plastic waste and turn it back int brand new plastic.
Their argument is false. The failure f Disney’s plant had mre t d with a later fall in il prices than technlgical r envirnmental prblems. Pyrlysis has imprved a lt since the 1980s. And in any case, Disney’s plant was designed t prduce fuel, which isn’t classed as advanced recycling.
As we reprt “the incredible new tech that can recycle all plastics frever”, advanced recycling is a game changer that culd help t slve the glbal plastics crisis. It has the pssibility t take millins f tnnes f thrwn-away plastic, mst f which ends up in landfill r the envirnment, and turn it back int a clean, fresh versin by breaking it dwn t its mlecular cnstituents (分子成分). The gal is a recycling ecnmy. In this case, there is n lnger any need t make “virgin” plastic frm il.
It isn’t a magic recipe. There are prblems arund such plants generating txic (有毒的) waste, their energy use and the cntinuatin f traditinal plastics ahead f newer, greener alternatives (替代物). Envirnmentalists are right t argue that we wuld be better ff gradually getting rid f plastics altgether. But practical cnsideratins mean they aren’t ging away any time sn, and mst advanced recycling technlgies are better fr the envirnment than the alternatives.
There is a serius discussin t be had arund advanced recycling, nt least whether it shuld be factred int an upcming glbal agreement n plastic pllutin. Let’s just make sure it is based n the facts, nt Disney stries.
28. As fr refusing the new tech with the Disney stry, the authr is .
A. wrriedB. disapprving
C. uncertainD. uncncerned
29. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Plastics wuld be sn stpped using.
B. Plants with new tech dn’t prduce txic waste.
C. The new tech features recycling all plastics.
D. Disney’s plant turned plastic waste int new plastic.
30. What is the purpse f the passage?
A. T argue fr advanced recycling.
B. T stress benefits f reducing plastics.
C. T present failure f recycling ecnmy.
D. T discuss the prblems f reusing waste.

What Is A Sand Battery?
Generally, when ne pictures a battery, ne imagines the lithium battery (锂电池) in varius high-tech frms. Yet in 2022, Plar Night Energy launched the wrld’s first cmmercial sand battery, capable f string 500-600℃ in heat energy fr mnths.
With the envirnmental cncern f mining fr lithium batteries, investrs and cmpanies are lking fr alternatives, and sand batteries are ne f them. The cncept fr a sand battery is simple: string large amunts f heat in sand r sand-like materials fr later use. The advantage f sand is its ability t stre large amunts f heat in a small vlume, its large quantity, and its lw cst.
Sand batteries serve as strage fr spare wind and slar pwer and extra energy when demand is lw. They can prvide heated water as well as heated air t hmes and industries that wuld therwise use fssil fuels. The heat can als be changed back t electricity using a steam turbine (蒸气涡轮).
This technique dates back centuries. Ancient Egyptian hmes were made f sand mixed with mud and straw that wuld keep the heat f the ht desert sun and then release it slwly during the cl nights. Many native Americans used mud t build huses fr the same reasn. They wuld als stre heat frm campfires in rcks wrapped (包裹) in leather skin and use these rcks fr heating their beds at night. This ancient wisdm can nw be applied t mdern slutins thrugh sand batteries.
Nw, Plar Night Energy, wrking with the heating cmpany Lvisan Lämpð, will launch a sand battery 10 times the size and capable f string up t100megawatts hur f heat. This battery will eliminate the need fr il-based energy fr the entire twn f Prnainen, Finland, and keep 160 tnnes f carbn dixide ut f the atmsphere annually. Accrding t the Washingtn Pst, mre than $900 millin has been invested in clean strage technlgies in the past three years, a number that is expected t reach $3 trillin by 2040. This mney is being directed twards varius small cmpanies that are investigating natural batteries.
There are challenges t vercme befre this technlgy can be adpted widely. It remains t be seen whether natural batteries can be a steady surce f energy. Furthermre, because it’s an emerging industry, natural battery prjects will need t be built frm scratch, meaning nly develped cuntries can affrd t use them. Despite this, sand and ther natural battery slutins are an exciting step frward twards a green future.
31. The idea f sand batteries is ________.
A. t prcess fssil fuels fr industriesB. t change slar energy int electricity
C. t stre energy in special materials as heatD. t generate wind energy when it is necessary
32. What is the main idea f Paragraph 4?
A. The advantages f sand batteries.B. The inspiratin f sand batteries.
C. The applicatin f sand batteries.D. The develpment f sand batteries.
33. What des the wrd “eliminate” underlined in Paragraph 5 mst prbably mean?
A. Meet.B. Remve.C. Create.D. Ignre.
34. What can we learn abut sand batteries?
A. They are a high-tech frm f lithium battery.
B. They can be widely used acrss the wrld sn.
C. They are a steady surce f energy fr a green future.
D. They can prvide heat and pwer fr hmes r industries.

Speak t yur pet r an inanimate bject arund the huse. ___38___ The gal is t get used t sunding the letters. prducing the accent and getting the wrds ut.
Anther creative methd t put yur writing skills t test is t keep a pen pal. Ideally, find smene wh is nt nly fluent in the language yu are learning, but wh is als learning a language yu are fluent in. Thrugh the exchange f letters, yu nt nly get t practise yur writing skills but can als prvide feedback t each ther. ___39___

S the little by wished t be a firefighter. He was s happy that he spent the whle day driving his ty truck. That evening, he culdn’t sleep. He tk his truck dwn t the living rm and drve it arund.
Suddenly, he felt smething strange. When he turned arund, he saw smke frm the Christmas tree. His parents had frgtten t put ut sme candles, which had caught the tree’s back and the curtains n fire. The fire was spreading fast. “Mm! Dad! There’s a fire in ur huse!” he shuted as he rushed upstairs and wke up his sisters. Milly wke up and ran dwnstairs with him, but Rsie was asleep, s he carried her in his arms. He then put his sisters in the truck and rushed t his parents’ rm.
“What’s wrng, Jase?” his mm asked. “Wait, what’s that smke?”
“There’s a fire!” Jase shuted.
The cuple tk the kids and rushed ut f the huse. They called 911, and firefighters arrived n the scene. Because the space was small, the whle huse was in flames (火焰) in n time.
One f the firefighters patted Jase’s shulder and said, “Gd jb!” Jase smiled and said, “Thank yu, sir. Nt all heres wear capes (斗篷)! I will becme a real superher like yu smeday.”
And tday, Jase has helped several families frm such events, and he’s indeed a superher, a firefighter.

Sme envirnmentalists claim that attempts t create a recycling ecnmy fr plastics are sure t fail, but the arguments can be nt true.
In 1980, Disney Wrld in Orland. Flrida, started t wrk n a new way t generate pwer fr the theme park, cutting its use f il, the price f which had increased. The Slid Waste Energy Cnversin Plant tk rubbish, including plastic, and used a methd called pyrlysis (热解) t turn it int burnable gases. It pened in 1982, but clsed a year later, as the cst f running it went up.
Tday, envirnmentalists are mentining the Disney stry t damage the reputatin f a set f new technlgies, well knwn as advanced recycling, which take plastic waste and turn it back int brand new plastic.
Their argument is false. The failure f Disney’s plant had mre t d with a later fall in il prices than technlgical r envirnmental prblems. Pyrlysis has imprved a lt since the 1980s. And in any case, Disney’s plant was designed t prduce fuel, which isn’t classed as advanced recycling.
As we reprt “the incredible new tech that can recycle all plastics frever”, advanced recycling is a game changer that culd help t slve the glbal plastics crisis. It has the pssibility t take millins f tnnes f thrwn-away plastic, mst f which ends up in landfill r the envirnment, and turn it back int a clean, fresh versin by breaking it dwn t its mlecular cnstituents (分子成分). The gal is a recycling ecnmy. In this case, there is n lnger any need t make “virgin” plastic frm il.
It isn’t a magic recipe. There are prblems arund such plants generating txic (有毒的) waste, their energy use and the cntinuatin f traditinal plastics ahead f newer, greener alternatives (替代物). Envirnmentalists are right t argue that we wuld be better ff gradually getting rid f plastics altgether. But practical cnsideratins mean they aren’t ging away any time sn, and mst advanced recycling technlgies are better fr the envirnment than the alternatives.
There is a serius discussin t be had arund advanced recycling, nt least whether it shuld be factred int an upcming glbal agreement n plastic pllutin. Let’s just make sure it is based n the facts, nt Disney stries.
28. As fr refusing the new tech with the Disney stry, the authr is .
A. wrriedB. disapprving
C. uncertainD. uncncerned
29. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. Plastics wuld be sn stpped using.
B. Plants with new tech dn’t prduce txic waste.
C. The new tech features recycling all plastics.
D. Disney’s plant turned plastic waste int new plastic.
30. What is the purpse f the passage?
A. T argue fr advanced recycling.
B. T stress benefits f reducing plastics.
C. T present failure f recycling ecnmy.
D. T discuss the prblems f reusing waste.

What Is A Sand Battery?
Generally, when ne pictures a battery, ne imagines the lithium battery (锂电池) in varius high-tech frms. Yet in 2022, Plar Night Energy launched the wrld’s first cmmercial sand battery, capable f string 500-600℃ in heat energy fr mnths.
With the envirnmental cncern f mining fr lithium batteries, investrs and cmpanies are lking fr alternatives, and sand batteries are ne f them. The cncept fr a sand battery is simple: string large amunts f heat in sand r sand-like materials fr later use. The advantage f sand is its ability t stre large amunts f heat in a small vlume, its large quantity, and its lw cst.
Sand batteries serve as strage fr spare wind and slar pwer and extra energy when demand is lw. They can prvide heated water as well as heated air t hmes and industries that wuld therwise use fssil fuels. The heat can als be changed back t electricity using a steam turbine (蒸气涡轮).
This technique dates back centuries. Ancient Egyptian hmes were made f sand mixed with mud and straw that wuld keep the heat f the ht desert sun and then release it slwly during the cl nights. Many native Americans used mud t build huses fr the same reasn. They wuld als stre heat frm campfires in rcks wrapped (包裹) in leather skin and use these rcks fr heating their beds at night. This ancient wisdm can nw be applied t mdern slutins thrugh sand batteries.
Nw, Plar Night Energy, wrking with the heating cmpany Lvisan Lämpð, will launch a sand battery 10 times the size and capable f string up t100megawatts hur f heat. This battery will eliminate the need fr il-based energy fr the entire twn f Prnainen, Finland, and keep 160 tnnes f carbn dixide ut f the atmsphere annually. Accrding t the Washingtn Pst, mre than $900 millin has been invested in clean strage technlgies in the past three years, a number that is expected t reach $3 trillin by 2040. This mney is being directed twards varius small cmpanies that are investigating natural batteries.
There are challenges t vercme befre this technlgy can be adpted widely. It remains t be seen whether natural batteries can be a steady surce f energy. Furthermre, because it’s an emerging industry, natural battery prjects will need t be built frm scratch, meaning nly develped cuntries can affrd t use them. Despite this, sand and ther natural battery slutins are an exciting step frward twards a green future.
31. The idea f sand batteries is ________.
A. t prcess fssil fuels fr industriesB. t change slar energy int electricity
C. t stre energy in special materials as heatD. t generate wind energy when it is necessary
32. What is the main idea f Paragraph 4?
A. The advantages f sand batteries.B. The inspiratin f sand batteries.
C. The applicatin f sand batteries.D. The develpment f sand batteries.
33. What des the wrd “eliminate” underlined in Paragraph 5 mst prbably mean?
A. Meet.B. Remve.C. Create.D. Ignre.
34. What can we learn abut sand batteries?
A. They are a high-tech frm f lithium battery.
B. They can be widely used acrss the wrld sn.
C. They are a steady surce f energy fr a green future.
D. They can prvide heat and pwer fr hmes r industries.

Artificial intelligence is making its way int classrms, creating a future where educatin is mre persnalized and dynamic. AI’s ability t custmize (订制) learning and prvide immediate feedback culd change hw students learn. making educatin mre effective and engaging.
Schls glbally are starting t see the benefits f Al. Learning platfrms with AI can nw tailr lessns t each student’s pace and style f learning, increasing engagement and understanding. Dream Bx Learning, an A1-pwered math platfrm, has already shwed hw such technlgy can imprve students’ abilities in prblem slving.
Hwever there’s an bvius cncern cming up alngside these advancements—the AI divide r the grwing gap between thse wh use AI tls and thse wh d nt. A 2023 reprt by the Educatinal Data Trust fund that wealthier schl districts are three times mre likely t have used Al-pwered learning platfrms cmpared t the under-resurced nes.
The cnversatin arund AI in educatin isn’t just abut technlgy; it’s abut fairness and pprtunity. This culd impact nt nly their academic perfrmance but als their future cllege admissins and jb prspects, suggests a2021 study by Gergetwn University which fund that AI skills are becming increasingly sught after by emplyers.
