Nature impacted the lives f peple all arund the wrld in different ways. Fr Nicki Vss, it led t the start f her small business, Textile pp, a quilt (被子) making and sewing class business.
One day, Vss was walking alng the Santa Clara River Trail and bserved that, at a time f uncertainty when many businesses failed, ne thing remained permanent: nature. Vss grew up ging n camping trips with her family as a yung girl, which taught her t appreciate her surrundings and the utside. “Althugh the leaves change clrs with the seasns, nature never truly changes,” said Vss.
Vss grabbed her camera, went t the Ls Angeles Griffith Observatry, and phtgraphed the scenic view f famus buildings that have appeared in numerus films and ther pp culture mediums. She then began t make the phtgraph f dwntwn Ls Angeles stand ut n clth. The quilt, titled “Dwntwn Ls Angeles Quilt”, was made frm 583 individually cut pieces f new fabric (织物), with each piece intentinally placed in the perfect lcatin t create a cntemprary art quilt.
Vss has created numerus cntemprary art quilts fllwing her initial ne. Ranging frm bright clrs t earth tnes, Vss’ creatins have risen frm her phtgraphs f Califrnia’s kinds f landscapes such as ak trees, the Central Cast, Death Valley, the Eastern Sierra Dusk, etc.
After wrking fr many years, Vss fund herself wanting t d smething different. Vss signed up with the Cllege f the Canyns t take nline classes cncerning the ins and uts f cmpany peratins. “It was abslutely inspiring. I learned s much. I went thrugh everything including the intrductin t human resurce management, business e-cmmerce, accunting, marketing... all f the details,” Vss said. “Then the idea started t take shape itself.”
And when the time was right, she launched Textile pp. Vss ffers a variety f curse ptins fr individuals f all ages interested in learning hw t sew. Vss said peple nwadays n lnger learn manual (手工的) arts like they nce used t. “Smething as simple as sewing a buttn suddenly becmes a mystery,” Vss said.
41. What inspired Vss t start her business?
A. Her passin fr sewing and quilting.B. Her desire t teach thers abut nature.
C. The clse bnd with family members.D. The cnstancy and stability f nature.
42. What did Vss d after btaining the phtgraphs f famus buildings?

Many cmpanies are pushing their emplyees t get back t the ffice, cnsidering it critical fr maintaining the cmpany culture. Accrding t Treehugger, the third industrial revlutin wuld be the end f the ffice and in the future, it wuld be a cffee shp: “The majr purpse f an ffice in the future is t interact, t get arund a table and talk, and t chat.” I am s enthusiastic abut the end f the ffice cnsidering the carbn it wuld save. It is reflected in nt just the gas in the cars r the building peratins, but the massive carbn frm building ffice buildings, subways, and ther facilities designed t meet the peak demand f the cmmute (通勤).
Many cmpanies are settling int the cncept f hybrid (混合的) ffices, where emplyees wrk frm hme several days per week. The Carbn Cunter f the Financial Times sees a picture in the U.S. where “there are bigger savings frm hmewrking, largely dwn t a cut in the time spent driving gas-guzzling (高油耗的) cars.” But peple may mve t bigger suburban huses, willing t have lnger cmmutes, where they have twice the ftprint f smene living in the city.
The Carbn Cunter estimates that full-time hmewrking has a ftprint f abut 50% f fulltime ffice wrking in the U. S., but nly a minr saving in carbn emissins with a switch t 3 days in the ffice and 2 at hme, based n a 22-mile cmmute and a 40% increase in heating and electricity fr thse days wrking frm hme.
Besides, n cmpany is ging t keep 100% f their ffice space fr tw-thirds f the number f peple, especially when they are n lnger wrrying abut scial distancing. Cmpanies will prmte mre “ht-desking” where emplyees d nt have permanent persnal spts, which many find makes the ffice less attractive, encuraging mre peple t wrk frm hme.
I nted earlier there might be less demand fr public transprtatin and highway expansin in the case f hybrid ffices, but analyst Jhn Kemp reprts crwded subways are a feature, nt a fault.
Kemp als ntes that “fully ccupied central ffices and transprtatin systems usually make very efficient use f energy.”
46. Why are lts f cmpanies calling n emplyees t return t ffices?
A. T prmte a relaxing wrking envirnment amng them.
B. T bst scial cntact and teamwrk amng them.
C. T bring abut anther industrial revlutin.
D. T reduce unnecessary carbn ftprints amng them.
47. What makes the authr in favr f putting an end t the ffice?
A. Its cntributin t his health.B. Its lwering the cst f the cmmute.
C. Its envirnment-friendliness.D. Its giving him flexible wrking hurs.
48. Which f the fllwing might the Carbn Cunter agree with?
A. Full-time hmewrking is mre suitable fr the U. S.
B. Wrking frm hme is nt easy t put int practice.
C. Hybrid ffices might nt be s carbn-efficient.
D. Many peple in the U. S. have t face lnger cmmutes.
49. What can we knw abut “ht-desking”?
A. It results in scial distancing.
B. It cntributes t peple’s preference fr wrking frm hme.
C. It encurages peple t imprve scial skills.
D. It stimulates emplyees’ enthusiasm fr wrk frm hme.
50. What is Kemp’s attitude twards hybrid ffices?
A. Negative.B. Indifferent.C. Apprving.D. Uncertain.

Electrical and electrnic scrap(e-scrap) is nw ne f the fastest-grwing types f waste and is prjected t reach 74 millin metric tns by 2030. E-scrap includes a wide variety f ld electrnic devices that include large husehld devices such as refrigeratrs, air-cnditining systems, smartphnes, cmputers and ther cnsumer electrnics.
Finding interesting, and cst-effective ways t reuse e-scrap culd have many advantages fr the envirnment, while als ptentially reducing manufacturing (制造) csts. S far, hwever, the reuse f e-scrap has mainly been limited t the separatin f valuable materials.
Ptentially, electrnic waste culd als be used in cmbinatin with renewable energy surces t build self-sustainable rbts (SSR). Researchers at TU Wien have recently carried ut a study explring this pssibility and have develped Scrapin, a rbt built frm e-scrap that uses renewable energy. The cmpnents used t build the rbt include a cmbinatin f new and ld materials recycled frm electrnic devices such as ld scanner machines, printers, rbts, cmputers and tys.
The researchers used DC mtrs, ultrasnic sensrs (超声波传感器) that can identify barriers in the surrundings, and LDR sensrs that can detect light. In this way, the self-sustainable rbt can mve arund its surrunding envirnment, searching fr the best sunbathing spts in which it can cllect energy by using a slar panel as its surce f pwer. After charging its battery t ver 50 percent, Scrapin can cmplete a number f tasks, fr instance, greeting students arund the university r prviding useful infrmatin abut nging cnferences, wrkshps, lessns, etc.
Nwadays, the massive prductin f rbts has an impact n electricity cnsumptin. Scrapin is a great example f reusing e-scrap and cmbining ld and new technlgies while als prmting lwer electricity cnsumptin and a cleaner envirnment. “SSR will prvide a very gd learning experience and shw that rbtics and renewable energy can g hand in hand and serve as a gateway t getting SSR frm e-scrap,” the researchers wrte in their paper. In the future, this study culd inspire ther researchers t explre interesting ways in which e-scrap can be reused r recycled.
51. What des the authr want t shw us in paragraph 1?
A. The abundance f husehld equipment.B. Advancements in electrnic devices.
C. The urgency f handling the e-scrap.D. Different recycling methds f e-scrap.
52. Which f the fllwing puts the present reusing e-scrap at a disadvantage?
A. The separatin is technically demanding.
B. The recycled materials cannt meet envirnmental requirements.
C. The recycling prcesses invlve high energy cnsumptin.
D. The materials frm the e-scrap cannt get fully reused.
53 Why did the researchers equip Scrapin with DC mtrs and sensrs?
A. T prvide Scrapin with basic mbility skills.B. T understand Scrapin’s surce f energy.
C. T let them act as the slar panels.D. T assess the surrunding wrking cnditins.
54. What can we infer abut the self-sustainable rbt frm the text?
A. It will refrm the creatin f rbts.
B. It can be a pineer t encurage researchers t g further.
C. It has the ability t charge fast and steadily.
D. It can be put int massive prductin as sn as pssible.
55. What’s the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T list the benefits f self-sustainable rbts.
B. T explain the challenges f reusing e-waste.
C. T shw a nvel way t reuse e-scrap.
D. T demnstrate a new way f making use f rbts.

There are certain places n the planet where yu can feel a cnnectin with a lved ne. That’s the way my mther and I felt abut Little Italy in New Yrk City. The very streets brught us back t ur rts that were planted befre either f us was brn. It’s the spt where, n a ht July night in 1906,my grandfather Tny was brn t immigrant (移民) parents. “I was brn n the crner f Mtt Street,” he ften said.
Last year, he passed away. My mther was heartbrken. I tried my best t cnsle her. I ften accmpanied her and tk her ut fr dinner. One Sunday, I invited her t ur favrite restaurant. I fund a parking space n Mtt Street. We nly had t walk dwn the street t reach the restaurant which was arund the crner. After walking fr several minutes, we fund the weather brke. The wind frm the strm whipped (抽打)ur faces. The strm came. There was n time t return t ur car.
“Cme n,” my mther said. And she grabbed my arm and pulled me int an ld tenement(公寓大楼) huse, which was, surprisingly, unlcked. When we entered the living rm, smething struck my mther and she said, “D yu think this culd be the building where Grandpa lived?” She tk ut a pen and wrte dwn the number.
When we went back hme, my mther tk ut an ld bx. She handed me a piece f paper which turned ut t be my grandfather’s birth certificate. It was the same building. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Grandpa didn’t leave us and he lked ut fr us.”
Was it a miracle r a cincidence? I didn’t have a definite answer but I wuld rather believe it was a miracle. When Grandpa Tny was alive, he always did his best t prtect us. Thugh he passed away, his spirit was still with us and perfrmed the same duty. I believe that he is ur guardian angel and his lve will be always surrunding us.

It is reflected in nt just the gas in the cars r the building peratins, but the massive carbn frm building ffice buildings, subways, and ther facilities designed t meet the peak demand f the cmmute (通勤).
Many cmpanies are settling int the cncept f hybrid (混合的) ffices, where emplyees wrk frm hme several days per week. The Carbn Cunter f the Financial Times sees a picture in the U.S. where “there are bigger savings frm hmewrking, largely dwn t a cut in the time spent driving gas-guzzling (高油耗的) cars.” But peple may mve t bigger suburban huses, willing t have lnger cmmutes, where they have twice the ftprint f smene living in the city.
The Carbn Cunter estimates that full-time hmewrking has a ftprint f abut 50% f fulltime ffice wrking in the U.

Besides, n cmpany is ging t keep 100% f their ffice space fr tw-thirds f the number f peple, especially when they are n lnger wrrying abut scial distancing. Cmpanies will prmte mre “ht-desking” where emplyees d nt have permanent persnal spts, which many find makes the ffice less attractive, encuraging mre peple t wrk frm hme.
I nted earlier there might be less demand fr public transprtatin and highway expansin in the case f hybrid ffices, but analyst Jhn Kemp reprts crwded subways are a feature, nt a fault.
Kemp als ntes that “fully ccupied central ffices and transprtatin systems usually make very efficient use f energy.”
