The next generatin f scientists and inventrs is already finding appraches t address sciety’s prblems. A grup f high schl students and their instructr reprt a slutin t the prblem f lead (铅) pllutin in drinking water — an inexpensive faucet (水龙头) attachment that remves this pisnus metal. Unlike cnventinal filters currently n the market, theirs includes a cntainer made f ec-friendly plastic and indicates when it’s “used up” by turning the tap water yellw.
“A few years ag, I saw a vide f a wman in Michigan turn n her tap water, and it came ut brwn.” says Rebecca Bushway, the prject’s principal investigatr. “That made me think — because there’s really n safe level f lead in drinking water, wuldn’t it be nice t have a water filter that culd tell yu yur water is plluted, well befre it turns brwn because f lead?”
Bushway, as a science teacher, wndered alud t her chemistry class if there was a little filter that they culd make frm inexpensive cmpnents t easily remve lead. The students were excited abut the idea, and they started thinking abut the prject in 2020.
The students discussed designs fr an attachment t screw (用螺丝固定) a filter nt a sink’s faucet. Then in the spring semester f 2021, they 3D printed the attachment and a 3-inch-tall filter husing, using ec-friendly plastic. They filled the cntainers with sme chemical pwder. Next, the students added a tiny spectrphtmeter (分光光度计) with a single-wavelength LED t the bttm f the filter cntainer. They installed an indicatr light that turns n as sn as the detectr identifies the yellw clr f the lead idide (碘化铅).
The team’s gal is t make and sell their filters fr less than $1 each. Because the husings use ec-friendly plastic, the cst culd trend a little higher, but the material wuld help reduce the verall envirnmental impact f the filter.
The prcess f develping the filter has been very fulfilling. “Ultimately, this experience has shwn students they can make a difference t smebdy, and that there are prblems they can fix with science,” said Bushway.
24. What shws that the filter is running ut accrding t the text?
A. The change f the water’s clr.B. The change f the filter husing’s clr.
C. The times f the filter being used.D. The flash f the indicatr light.
25. What inspired Bushway t remve lead in the water?
A. Her persnal experience in Michigan.B. The unsafe water used by a wman.
C. A lack f safe drinking water.D. The experiments carried ut in her class.
26. What can be inferred frm paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. Chemical pwder reacts with the lead in the water.
B. A detectr is fixed t identify the lead idide.
C. The students have develped ec-friendly plastic.
D. The filter has an advantage ver thers in price.
27. What is the authr’s purpse in writing this passage?
A. T advertise a prduct t remve lead t readers.
B. T highlight the hardships the inventrs encunter.
C. T praise the yung fr shuldering respnsibilities.

In an era dminated by texting and messaging apps, phne calls seem t becme a relic (遗物) f the past amng yunger generatins, Gen Z in particular. A recent survey shws that a quarter f 18 t 24-year-lds refuse t pick up the phne, and ver half ignre calls frm their parents. Why d we find phne calls s awkward, and is aviding them damaging ur relatinships?
The avidance f phne calls isn’t just a preference; it’s a display f anxiety. Phne cnversatins can be awkward due t the lack f nn-verbal clues. In face-t-face interactins, we rely heavily n gestures, facial expressins, and bdy language t interpret messages, which are absent in phne cnversatins. This can lead t misunderstandings and a feeling f discnnect. Additinally, the pressure t respnd immediately withut enugh time t think, as affrded by messaging apps, can increase the anxiety assciated with phne calls.
Despite the discmfrt they may cause, phne cnversatins are an imprtant skill. In the prfessinal wrld, the ability t cmmunicate effectively ver the phne remains a critical skill. As I emphasize in my teachings and wrkshps, clear, cnfident, and real-life cmmunicatin can significantly impact persnal and prfessinal success. Therefre, it’s crucial fr yunger generatins, including Gen Z, t learn hw t cmmunicate well with thers ver the phne, nt just fr prfessinal success but als fr develping persnal relatinships.
Relying merely n messaging apps can have harmful effects n Gen Z’s well-being and relatinships. The survey indicates a grwing discmfrt with direct vice cmmunicatin can lead t a lack f deeper, empathetic (共情的) cnnectins. This can ptentially impact their ability t frm meaningful relatinships and deal with situatins where direct cmmunicatin like phne calls is mmentus.
Mrever, as I advcate in my apprach t public speaking, including emtinal elements int cmmunicatin enhances memrability (值得记忆) and impact. Phne cnversatins, with their immediate and persnal nature, can develp a deeper emtinal cnnect in than text-based cmmunicatin.
28. What can we knw frm paragraph 2?
A. Why peple are making fewer phne calls.
B. Hw yung men respnd t phne calls.
C. What impact can phne calls have.
D. Hw much further phne calls g.
29. Which statement will the authr prbably agree with?
A. Future success is mainly based n phne talks.
B. It's vital t acquire the art f phne cnversatin.
C. Learning hw t cmmunicate is the fcus.
D. Much remains t be dne fr better persnal skills.
30. What des the underlined wrd “mmentus” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Obvius.B. Imprtant.C. Missing.D. Temprary.
31. Where is the text mst prbably taken frm?
A. An interview.B. A bk review.C. A lecture.D. A diary entry.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要讨论了在现代通讯工具日益发达的背景下，年轻一代对于电话沟通的态度和影响，以及电话沟通的重要性。
【参考答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The avidance f phne calls isn’t just a preference; it’s a display f anxiety. Phne cnversatins can be awkward due t the lack f nn-verbal clues. In face-t-face interactins, we rely heavily n gestures, facial expressins, and bdy language t interpret messages, which are absent in phne cnversatins. This can lead t misunderstandings and a feeling f discnnect. Additinally, the pressure t respnd immediately withut enugh time t think, as affrded by messaging apps, can increase the anxiety assciated with phne calls.(不打电话不仅仅是一种偏好；这是焦虑的表现。由于缺乏非语言线索，电话交谈可能会很尴尬。在面对面的交流中，我们严重依赖手势、面部表情和肢体语言来解释信息，而这些在电话交谈中是不存在的。这会导致误解和疏离感。此外，即时回复的压力，没有足够的时间去思考，就像即时通讯应用所提供的那样，会增加与电话相关的焦虑)”可知，本段主要讲述了人们打电话越来越少的原因，所以从本段可以知道为什么人们打电话越来越少。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Despite the discmfrt they may cause, phne cnversatins are an imprtant skill. In the prfessinal wrld, the ability t cmmunicate effectively ver the phne remains a critical skill. As I emphasize in my teachings and wrkshps, clear, cnfident, and real-life cmmunicatin can significantly impact persnal and prfessinal success. Therefre, it’s crucial fr yunger generatins, including Gen Z, t learn hw t cmmunicate well with thers ver the phne, nt just fr prfessinal success but als fr develping persnal relatinships.(尽管打电话可能会带来不适，但它是一项重要的技能。在专业领域，通过电话进行有效沟通的能力仍然是一项关键技能。正如我在我的教学和研讨会中强调的那样，清晰、自信和现实生活中的沟通可以显著影响个人和职业的成功。因此，对于包括Z世代在内的年轻一代来说，学习如何通过电话与他人沟通是至关重要的，这不仅是为了职业上的成功，也是为了发展人际关系)”可知，作者认为掌握电话交谈的艺术非常重要，因此作者可能会同意“掌握电话交谈的艺术至关重要”这一说法。故选B项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Relying merely n messaging apps can have harmful effects n Gen Z’s well-being and relatinships. The survey indicates a grwing discmfrt with direct vice cmmunicatin can lead t a lack f deeper, empathetic (共情的) cnnectins.(仅仅依赖信息应用程序可能会对Z世代的健康和人际关系产生有害影响。调查显示，人们对直接语音交流越来越感到不安，这可能导致缺乏更深层次的、有同理心的联系)”可知，直接的语言交流对于建立有意义的关系和处理需要直接交流的情况非常重要，推知mmentus意为“重要的”，和B项意思相近。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As I emphasize in my teachings and wrkshps, clear, cnfident, and real-life cmmunicatin can significantly impact persnal and prfessinal success.(正如我在我的教学和研讨会中强调的那样，清晰、自信和现实生活中的沟通可以显著影响个人和职业的成功)”以及最后一段“Mrever, as I advcate in my apprach t public speaking, including emtinal elements int cmmunicatin enhances memrability (值得记忆) and impact.(此外，正如我在公开演讲中所提倡的，在交流中加入情感元素可以增强记忆和影响力)”可知，文章多处提到了作者的教学和研讨会，表明文章很可能来自作者的演讲。故选C项。
D
Individuals vary in hw they react t anxiety. Sme bury their heads in the sand and ignre the munting sense f anxiety that seems t ccupy the sciety. Others are in a watchful state and can’t get enugh f the up-t-the-minute news and scial media feeds.
Martin Buber nce stated that we related t three things arund us: nature, ur fellw men, and hw yu view the wrld. When we are in a burdened (忧虑) state, we tend t take n ntice f any f these. When we becme unburdened frm ur depressed selves, we are able t discver the delights and wnders arund and experience a deep sense f gratitude.
At a time when news reprts are merely a click away, peple’s anxiety becmes even intenser. Because f 24/7 media, the internatinal and the interpersnal have integrated in a way that we have never seen befre. It seems that we’ve lst the capacity t maintain ur inner peace—and that’s nt just a matter f having ppsing views abut issues. It’s a matter f nt having the patience t invlve in delightful cmmunicatin and t hear each ther. Transfrming the situatin can't be achieved vernight. It’s nt accidental, which must be apprached with strength. It cmes frm the effrts t attain understanding and calm.
Our age f anxiety presents us with challenges. But ut f adversity cmes pprtunity. Never can we maintain calm and experience gratitude at a time when we are burdened, wrried, and anxius. Like anything else, relaxatin and calm take a bit f wrk. Attempt t limit yur expsure t updates n the news and take a cuple f mments t cunt yur blessings—including the peple in yur life and the frtune frm which yu’ve benefited. As yu may be aware, it is taking things fr granted that rbs yu f the fruits f yur labr. Praying fr gdness and planting seeds f gratitude may be ur nly way ut.
32. What might happen t a relaxed persn?
A. Sptting the beauty in the surrundings.

C. Getting n well with nature and fellws.

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At a time when news reprts are merely a click away, peple’s anxiety becmes even intenser. Because f 24/7 media, the internatinal and the interpersnal have integrated in a way that we have never seen befre. It seems that we’ve lst the capacity t maintain ur inner peace—and that’s nt just a matter f having ppsing views abut issues.(在一个新闻报道只需点击一下的时代，人们的焦虑变得更加强烈。由于全天候的媒体，国际和人际关系以一种我们从未见过的方式融合在一起。似乎我们已经失去了保持内心平静的能力——这不仅仅是对问题持相反观点的问题)”可知，由于24/7的媒体，国际和人际交流以前所未有的方式融合在一起，新闻报告也只是一次点击之遥，这使得人们的焦虑变得更加严重。因此，信息过载是导致人们焦虑的原因。故选B项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Our age f anxiety presents us with challenges. But ut f adversity cmes pprtunity. Never can we maintain calm and experience gratitude at a time when we are burdened, wrried, and anxius. Like anything else, relaxatin and calm take a bit f wrk. Attempt t limit yur expsure t updates n the news and take a cuple f mments t cunt yur blessings—including the peple in yur life and the frtune frm which yu’ve benefited. As yu may be aware, it is taking things fr granted that rbs yu f the fruits f yur labr. Praying fr gdness and planting seeds f gratitude may be ur nly way ut.(我们这个焦虑的时代给我们带来了挑战。但祸不单行。当我们背负重担、忧心忡忡、焦虑不安的时候，我们永远无法保持冷静，体会感恩。像其他事情一样，放松和平静需要一些努力。尽量少看最新的新闻，花点时间数一数你的幸福——包括你生命中的人和你从中受益的财富。正如你可能已经意识到的，它是把事情视为理所当然，剥夺了你的劳动成果。祈求上天，播下感恩的种子，也许是我们唯一的出路)”可知，本段主要讲述了如何在焦虑的时代中缓解焦虑并感激生活中的美好。作者建议尝试限制接触新闻更新，花一些时间数数自己的幸福，包括生活中的人和从中受益的财富。因此，本段的主要内容是关于如何缓解焦虑和感激生活中的美好。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Martin Buber nce stated that we related t three things arund us: nature, ur fellw men, and hw yu view the wrld. When we are in a burdened (忧虑的) state, we tend t take n ntice f any f these. When we becme unburdened frm ur depressed selves, we are able t discver the delights and wnders arund and experience a deep sense f gratitude.(马丁·布伯(Martin Buber)曾经说过，我们与身边的三件事有关:自然、我们的同胞以及你如何看待世界。当我们处于负担重重的状态时，我们往往不会注意到这些。当我们从沮丧的自我中解脱出来时，我们就能发现周围的快乐和奇迹，并体验到一种深深的感激之情)”以及纵观全文可知，全文都在讨论如何在焦虑的时代中保持感恩之心，因此最适合的标题是C项“Be Grateful in an Age f Anxiety(在焦虑的时代中感恩)”。故选C项。
