The Future f Clean Energy in Hmes
Heating, cling, and pwering hmes release a large amunt f CO2 int the atmsphere. As cuntries wrk t reduce their carbn ftprints, husehld energy use — which makes up almst 20% f energy — related emissins — brings unique challenges. Belw are the categries f husehld emissins in 2022.
Clean energy slutins fr hmes must be affrdable, efficient, and suitable fr different types f climates. Althugh there are different technlgies, here are sme imprtant innvatins leading the way tward a mre sustainable future.
“The scale f this transitin is huge,” says Dr. Elena Trres, a climate scientist at MIT. “Hme renewable energy — like slar pwer and heat pumps — culd meet 90% f glbal husehld energy needs by 2050 — but nly if investment increases by 200% within this decade.” Recent studies shw that every dllar spent n green hmes nw saves five dllars in the future fr dealing with climate change. This isn’t just smething we need t d fr the envirnment; it’s als necessary fr the ecnmy.
1. Which tw categries make up ver 70% f ttal husehld emissins?
A. Space cling and Water heating.B. Space heating and Appliances & Lighting.
C. Space heating and Water heating.D. Space cling and Appliances & Lighting.
2. Which technlgy is the mst cst-effective?
A. Heat pumps.B. Smart grids.C. Slar pwer.D. Wind pwer.
3. What des Dr. Trres emphasize abut the transitin?
A. The demand fr higher investment.B. The ptential f renewable energy.
C. The need fr husehld energy.D. The necessity fr the ecnmy.

A burn victim as a child, the Brazilian hurdler Alisn ds Sants is thankful that track gave him a new life as a teen, when he was vulnerable and insecure.
When a pt f ht il tipped ver nt 10-mnth-ld Alisn ds Sants, his grandfather’s quick actins saved his life. The permanent scars n his face, chest and arms are reminders f that day. Ds Sants said he ften wndered, “Am I different?” His teenage years made things wrse. Even his friends wuld smetimes make hurtful cmments abut his scars. “I had t g thrugh sme dark times, but I had t understand that I wuldn’t be myself if I didn’t have the burns,” he said.
His track friends, hwever, saw him anther way — nt as the guy with scars, but as a nice persn with a gd sense f humr wh culd really run. That helped Ds Sants create a different kind f life. He nw travels the wrld, winning medals in the highly cmpetitive men’s 400-meter hurdles, where he rivals wrld-recrd hlders and Olympic champins like Karsten Warhlm and Rai Benjamin.
Ds Sants believes the prgress in their event was significantly inspired by Qatari hurdler Abderrahman Samba. When Samba brke 47 secnds in 2018, he changed the mentality: Everything is pssible. “When yu see Samba ding that, yu think, I’ve gt t train harder,” Ds Sants explained.
Just as Samba inspired him, Ds Sants hpes his wn stry serves as an inspiratin. He sees a cnnectin between the hurdles n the track and the bstacles he vercame in life. “I’m able t share that everyne is unique, everyne is special in their wn way,” he said. “Yu can achieve great things, n matter hw hard things are in yur life.”

Walk dwn a street years ag, and chances were gd that yu’d cme acrss a visin f the Spielbergian srt: grups f schl-age children racing dwn the blck n bikes, full f purpse and withut helmets. Yu’re less likely t catch that kind f view tday.
With the decline in cycling, kids are lsing mre than a ptential mde f transprt. Biking imprves children’s independence and verall health. And crucially, nce kids are trained, it desn’t require much effrt frm adults. Mrever, when enugh children bike, whle neighbrhds can be transfrmed-safer and mre friendly.
Nw kids seldm get ut. But they desire mbility while threatening traffic and parental cncerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is reasnable. Radways have gtten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually drpped. The decrease is due t parents being aware f the greater danger frm massive vehicles, rather than streets are safer.
Families haven’t always had t be this watchful. Public planning in previus decades may nt have had marked bike lanes (车道) r ther prtective rad features. But children had mre space t wander, and fewer and slwer cars t deal with. It wasn’t until public planning priritized cars that children lst bth play areas and the freedm t travel independently.
By adding mre bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), lcal gvernments culd encurage children t ride again. Meanwhile, teaching rad rules falls largely t parents. Finding safe-enugh places fr practice might be tugh, yet with a little creativity, parents can chse dead ends r unused parking lts.
Putting in that wrk may demand mre f parents in the shrt term. But the investment is wrth it. Many parents want t raise cnfident and adaptable children, yet ver-scheduled extra-curricular (课外活动) requiring cnstant mnitring rarely help. What many need is a bit mre freedm: time t explre, t ride aimlessly-until they’re ready t take ff.
8. What des the authr want t express in Paragraph 1?
A. Kids liked riding bikes in the past.B. Children’s biking is less cmmn tday.
C. Spielbergian scenes were everywhere.D. Schl-age kids like racing dwn blcks.
9. What is the pssible result f the decline in children cycling?
A. Radways becme faster and safer.B. Bike lanes are remved.
C. The burden n parents increase.D. Neighbrhds are mre friendly.
10. What can be inferred abut public planning in previus decades?
A. It put bikes in the first place.B. It ffered kids safer places.
C. It marked bike paths.D. It built many parking lts.
11. What’s the best title fr the passage?
A. Kids Freedm n Tw Wheels.B. The Jy f Children’s Biking.
C. Ways t Prtect Child Cyclists.D. The Needs fr Safer Street.

It’s hard t imagine that glbal warming wuld have much effect n the wrld’s ht and dry deserts. But even small changes in temperature r rain can affect desert plants and animals. In sme cases, glbal warming is predicted t increase desert lands, which already cver ne-fifth f Earth’s land.
Deserts are imprtant t peple. Mre than ne billin peple live in greater dry lands. Fr many f them, deserts prvide fd and useful resurces. The dry envirnment is als ideal fr prtecting archaelgical artifacts and fssils (文物和化石). Besides, deserts help reduce sandstrms with bicrust — a tp layer f sil with tiny living things that hld the sil tgether.
Hwever, glbal warming is making drughts happen mre ften, which dries up water hles. Using water fr irrigatin (灌溉) ver a lng time may make the sil have t much salt, s plants can’t grw there. Higher temperatures may cause mre wildfires, and these fires can change desert areas by killing plants.
When peple use ff-rad vehicles carelessly, they can damage desert hmes fr animals. Oil and gas prductin and nuclear testing can als d harm t these sensitive areas. Sme human activities — like cllecting firewd and grazing animals — are turning dry lands int deserts. This prcess is called desertificatin. Ppulatin grwth and greater demand fr land make it hard t slve this prblem.
Luckily, despite these challenges, there are ways t prtect deserts. We can use water mre efficiently and cntrl salinizatin better t imprve dry lands. We can find new ways t grw different crps in turns t prtect the sil, and plant bushes and trees that hld sand. Leguminus (豆科) plants can make the sil fertile again. Artificial grves (凹槽) can help keep rainwater and catch seeds. Turism can be managed better t. Creating marked trails and rads can help prevent travelers frm damaging the delicate bicrust, an ften verlked desert threat.
12. Hw des the authr develp his idea in the secnd paragraph?
A. By giving specific examples.B. By explaining a cncept.
C. By quting an expert.D. By prviding data.
13. What leads t the sil in dry areas being t salty?
A. Plants.B. Water hles.C. Irrigatin.D. Wildfire.
14. What is the authr’s suggestin abut?
A. Management f turism.B. Slutins t prtecting dry areas.
C. Imprvement f the sil.D. Prtectin f agriculture.
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards the future f dry areas?
A. Hpeless.B. Psitive.C. Uncaring.D. Wrried.

The state crss-cuntry race was very hard, with mud, hills, and a cld wind. Fr me, a high schl senir hping fr a cllege sprts schlarship, this race was very imprtant. The starting gun fired, and runners in clrful shirts rushed frward. I fund my speed, but it was a difficult and painful pace.
The first tw miles were a blur f pain. My lungs burned with every breath f cld air. When we reached the famus “Killer Hill” — a lng and sul-crushing slpe — many runners slwed dwn. I pushed very hard and passed a few tired cmpetitrs. Fr a shrt mment at the tp f the hill, I even thught I culd finish in the tp ten.
But the effrt cst me everything. The flat grund after the hill felt like running thrugh cncrete. I had a sharp pain in my side. My legs, nce strng, nw felt like heavy wd. The sund f the crwd in the faraway stadium seemed t laugh at me. I hit my limit, nt just in my bdy, but in my mind. A vice in my head said with every step, “Just stp. Slw dwn. It’s kay t give up.”
One by ne, runners I had passed earlier began t pass me. Their heavy breathing and ftsteps felt like the end f my dream. With each persn wh passed, my will t cntinue brke a little mre. The finish line seemed a millin miles away. I was drwning in tiredness and ready t accept defeat. My gal was disappearing, and I had n strength left t fight fr it.
It was at my lwest pint, as I lked dwn at the grund, fighting tears f pain and disappintment, that I heard steady, strng ftsteps cming up behind me.
