When Meng Jinta was a child, pwer utages in his rural hmetwn sparked his curisity: Why can’t we stre electricity during regular times and use it when the pwer ges ut?
Nw 29, Meng has turned this childhd curisity int reality with his advanced irn-based flw energy strage system. Distinguished by its massive strage capacity, high safety standards, and lng-term endurance, this technlgy represents a majr advancement in energy strage.
In 2013, Meng began his studies at Hefei University f Technlgy in Anhui, East China, majring in new energy materials and devices. During his university years, he traveled t Qinghai and Gansu prvinces in Nrthwest China fr research, where he bserved the initial successes f wind and slar pwer prjects. Hwever, he learned frm pwer statin staff that much f the energy generated by wind turbines was unstable and culd nt be effectively used. It was during this perid that Meng recgnized the urgent need fr advanced strage slutins t stabilize energy supply and release it steadily t the grid, thereby increasing efficiency. This realizatin led him t develp the irn-based flw energy strage system.
“This system functins like a large pwer bank fr cities,” he explained. Accrding t Meng, while lithium (锂) batteries are well-established, there is a grwing need fr a mre affrdable and safer strage slutin. He chse irn fr its cst-efficiency and the abundant availability f irn resurces in China. Irn- based flw energy strage systems are als mre ecnmical and use water as a slutin, making them fire- resistant and safer.
In 2020, while pursuing his master’s degree at Huazhng University f Science and Technlgy, Meng achieved a significant milestne by successfully testing the first irn-based flw battery in his lab. “Seeing the battery mdel start its charging and discharging cycles was a mment f endless pride,” he said, “with China annuncing its duble carbn gals, I wanted t transfrm my research int a tangible prduct that culd bth benefit the cuntry and make a difference.”
Thrugh cntinuus adjustments, accurate research, and determined experimentatin, Meng and his team cmpleted their first kilwatt-level energy strage system in 2021, suitable fr everyday use. “I want t keep imprving the technlgy t make energy strage safer and mre cst-effective, bth in China and wrldwide,” he said.
24. What inspired Meng Jinta t seek new slutins fr energy strage?
A. His bservatins f pwer cuts in rural areas.
B. His majr in new energy materials and devices.
C. His experience f wrking with lithium batteries.
D. His witness t the success f renewable pwer prjects.
25. What characteristic f irn led Meng Jinta t chse it?
A. Its wrk efficiency. B. Its unlimited supply.
C. Its ecnmic advantage. D. Its envirnmental friendliness.
26. Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe Meng Jinta?
A. Cautius and generus. B. Capable and determined.
C. Intelligent and cnsiderate. D. Hard-wrking and utging.
27. What is the mst suitable title fr this passage?
A. The Future f Renewable Energy: Strengths and Weaknesses.
B. Meng Jinta: Leading Figure in Pwer Generatin Technlgy.
C. Frm Curisity t Creatin: Meng Jinta’s Jurney in Energy Strage.

Primrdial black hles (PBHs) are dark matter that may have been brn in the first secnd after the Big Bang. Over the last 13. 8 billin years they wuld have spread acrss the universe. Accrding t a new study, these tiny, ancient black hles culd rush thrugh ur Slar System.
A team f scientists has wrked ut that they might speed thrugh ur neck f the wds as ften as nce a decade, based n the estimated distributin f dark matter acrss a given regin f space. They fund that a PBH, packing the mass f a small planet int a space the size f a single atm (原子), shuld stream thrugh the inner Slar System abut nce every 10 years r s. Althugh we wuldn’t be able t directly see it, such a visitr wuld still make its existence knwn. If a PBH came within abut 280 millin miles f Mars, it wuld result in a detectable wbble (摇晃) in the red planet’s curse. The shift wuld nly be abut 1 meter ver 10 years, but that’s enugh fr us t pick up, since we can measure the distance f Mars frm Earth t within abut 10 centimeters.
The study started with a fun questin: what wuld happen if a PBH passed a persn? Lead authr, scientist Tung Tran frm MIT, rughly calculated that if ne came within a meter f yu, yu’d be thrwn abut 6 meters away in 1 secnd.
While that is rather unlikely, it gt the team wndering hw a PBH flying thrugh the slar system wuld affect planets and mns. “The numbers we gt were nt very clear. There are many ther factrs in the slar system that culd act as sme srt f resistance t cause the wbble t dampen ut,” says Tung. S, the researchers then created the effects in lab which is the same as a PBH flyby n Mercury, Venus, and Mars t see if their wbbles wuld be easier t ntice. Of thse, Mars gave the clearest signal, largely because it’s such a heavily mnitred planet.
Still, mre detailed experiments invlving mre bjects will need t be cnducted t get a mre accurate understanding f thse factrs. “We need as much clarity as we can f the expected backgrunds, such as the typical speeds f space rcks in cntrast t these PBHs,” says MIT physicist David Kaiser. It is ur hpe that in the cming decades, advances in science will ffer new evidence. With a bit mre wrk, it’s pssible that astrnmers culd get lucky, spt a wbble, and uncver ne f the biggest mysteries abut universe.
28. Hw can scientists ntice a PBH speeding thrugh Slar System?
A. By mnitring a single atm nearby. B. By bserving an bvius shake f Mars.
C. By measuring the Mars-Earth distance. D. By analyzing the presence f dark matter.
29. What is a passing PBH pssibly capable f?
A. Affecting a planet t rck in its curse. B. Thrwing away a persn in the distance.
C. Creating resistance t cancel ut a wbble. D. Giving Mars the mst bvius signals t shake.
30. Which f the fllwing best explains “dampen ut” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Be difficult t make ut. B. Regularly ccur.
C. Be interesting t bserve. D. Narrwly escape.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly abut in terms f the research?
A. Its current limitatins. B. Astrnmers with gd luck.
C. Its ptential applicatins. D. Expectatins fr further studies.
D
Is frgiveness against ur human nature? T answer ur questin, we need t ask a further questin: What is the essence f ur humanity? Fr the sake f simplicity, peple cnsider tw distinctly different views f humanity.
The first view invlves dminance and pwer. In an early paper n the psychlgy f frgiveness, Drll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is mre aggressive than frgiving allws. Thse wh frgive are against their basic nature much t their harm. In his pinin, frgivers are cmprmising their well-being as they ffer mercy t thers, wh might then take advantage f them.
The secnd view invlves the theme f cperatin, mutual respect, and even lve as the basis f wh we are as humans. Researchers find that t fully grw as human beings, we need bth t receive lve frm and ffer lve t thers. Withut lve, ur cnnectins with a wide range f individuals in ur lives can fall apart. Even cmmn sense strngly suggests that the will t pwer ver thers des nt make fr harmnius interactins. Fr example, hw well has slavery wrked as a mde f scial harmny?
Frm this secnd viewpint f wh we are as humans, frgiveness plays a key rle in the bilgical and psychlgical integrity f bth individuals and cmmunities because ne f the utcmes f frgiveness, shwn thrugh scientific studies, is the decreasing f hate and the restratin f harmny. Frgiveness can break the cycle f anger. At least t the extent the peple frm whm yu are estranged (不和的) accept yur lve and frgiveness and are prepared t make the required adjustments. Frgiveness can heal relatinships and recnnect peple.
As an imprtant nte, when we take a classical philsphical perspective, we see the distinctin between ptentiality and actuality. We are nt necessarily brn with the capacity t frgive, but instead with the ptential t learn abut it and t grw in ur ability t frgive. The actuality f frgiving, in real situatins, develps with practice.
32. Hw des Drll think f frgivers accrding t the early paper?
A. They can be really pwerful. B. They deserve thers’ respect.
C. They are acting ut f kindness D. They might get themselves hurt.
33. What des the example in Paragraph 3 illustrate?
A. T fight is t grw. B. T give is t receive.
C. T frgive is t punish. D. T dminate is t harm.
34. What is the writer’s attitude tward frgiveness?
A. Critical. B. Unclear. C. Favrable. D. Objective.
35. What des the last paragraph suggest abut hw frgiveness develps?
A. Frgiveness imprves with practice. B. Frgiveness happens easily with time.
C. Frgiveness is practical and autmatic. D. Frgiveness cmes frm scial experiences.

Have yu ever experienced the fllwing situatin: yu just listened t a presentatin and ne hur later yu dn’t remember anything? Many f us had this feeling.

But there is plenty f gd advice t achieve the best results. u
Yu dn’t want t speak in frnt f the audience unprepared. Unprepared presentatins ften result in speakers frgetting their key pints, stumbling ver their wrds, and frequently resrting t fillers like “alright”, “s”, “kay”, and “ehm”. 37 S, nce yur slides are prepared, d a few dry runs. These rehearsals will help yu refine yur delivery.
Having gd cntent t share is nt enugh. 38 Let’s recall sme bestseller fictin bks. They have a stry where all pieces are intercnnected. The audience fllws it and stays engaged till the end. The majrity f the presentatins can be turned int a stry t. Structure yur presentatin like a stry, with clear prblems, slutins, and smth transitins.
Clarity n the presentatin’s purpse is essential. The questin “Why” is the cre fr all businesses. 39 Tell yur audience early why they have t listen t yu. Engage them with the “Why,” guide them thrugh yur stry, and cnclude by answering the questins yu’ve raised.
Public speaking is difficult. Mst impressive talks becme famus and inspire many peple. But even the persn wh succeeded nce can barely repeat the triumph. 40 The nly way t get better is thrugh practice.
A. It has t be rganized prperly.
B. A cnvincing stry is als imprtant.
C. That shuld nt hld yu back thugh.
D. Knwing sme strategies t maintain ur memries is vital.
E. These wrds are present because the prper nes are missing.
F. The answer t it gives the reasn fr the presentatin’s existence.
G. It becmes a challenge fr the speaker t leave an impressin n the audience.

I wuld sht baskets in my spare time.

With the financial crisis spreading, mst f his custmers lst their jbs. S did Dad as a matter f curse, a wave f helplessness washing ver him. He dragged himself back hme with heavy steps.

The ball held in my hands sparked like an inspiratin. “Want t jin in a sht game, Dad?” I asked, knwing hw much he lved basketball and thinking maybe it might cheer him up. “Sure,” he said, pening his eyes and smiling a weary smile.
I bunce-passed the ball t him, and Dad caught it naturally. He held the ball in bth hands between his knees, brke thrugh my defence skillfully, and sht at the basket. It was perfectly measured s that the ball drpped clearly thrugh the hp. “Wha, what a sht!” I cheered and clapped. Dad’s lng-lst smile finally came back, with his face glwing brilliantly like sunshine. Magically, it was shting baskets with me that helped him frget his wrries in jb fr a shrt time and it was the warmth f family that revived him thrugh hardship.
