Nwadays, cuntries are eager t get mre electric cars n the rad because mving away frmgas-pwered vehicles is vital t fighting climate change. China says that mst new vehicles sld by2035 will be electric. The United Kingdm will ban new gas-pwered cars in 2030. One fthe wrld'smajr autmakers, General Mtrs (GM), annunced that it wuld stp selling gas-pwered cars by2035.
The key t an electric future is batteries. Autmakers are racing t pack the mst energy int the smallest ne. The 1ithium-in (锂离子) battery is what pwers ur mbile devices, which can berecharged again and again. Making these batteries has an envirnmental cst. Lithium is taken frm theearth, like the il used t make gasline. But the lng-term cst is much smaller. "Once yu bumgasline, yu can't recycle it," says Jessika Trancik, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute fTechnlgy. "But when yu use up a battery, yu can still recycle the material."
It’s up t gvernments t make electric cars accessible t everyne. Natinal plicies can help. Inthe United States, an electric Chevy Vlt csts abut $35,000. Trancik says charging statins must alsbe made widely available. As part fan effrt t fight climate change, America plans t build half amillin fthem in the US by 2030. She hpes enugh charging statins will be built sn. “It’simprtant t put chargers where many different peple can have access t them,” she says. “Nt justwealthier peple.”
Last year, almst 5% f apprximately 67 millin new cars sld wrldwide were electric. FrVenkat Viswanathan, a prfessr f mechanical engineering at Carnegie Melln University, greenelectricity is part fthe slutin t climatechange, and electric cars are just the beginning. He sees afuture f slar-pwered hmes and electric flying cars. "Sn, a plug-in vehicle might be as cheap as agas-pwered car. It is nw abundantly clear that electric is the future," he says. "It will be a ttally newwrld."
28．Which wrd best describes Trancik's attitude t the 1ithium-in battery?
A．Cnservative B．Skeptical C．Psitive D．Disapprving
29．What des Trancik indicate abut charging statins in Paragraph 3?
A．They shuld cme dwn in price. B．They may be unfairly laid ut.
C．Enugh fthem have been built. D．They favr mre rdinary peple.
30．What can be inferred frm Viswanathan?
A．Gas-pwered cars will be cheaper. B．Green electricity will be widely used.
C．The price fbatteries will drp sharply. D．Electric vehicles will beat climate change.
31．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Charging Statins Are Needed B．Vehicles Have Clean Optins

Jasn, a straight-A student frm the University f Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseud-wrking”t describe hw many f us study. The pseud-wrker lks and feels like smene wh is wrkinghard－ he r she spends a lng time in the 1ibrary and is nt afraid t push n late int the night－ but,because f a lack f fcus and cncentratin, he r she's desn't actually accmplish much.
This phenmenn can beseen n must cllege campuses . Fr example , at Dartmuth there was a
sectin fthe main library that was pen twenty-fur hurs a day, and the students I used t see therelate at night crwded in grups, drinking cffee, were definitely pseud-wrking. The rmmate whflips thrugh her chemistry ntes n the cuch while watching TV is pseud-wrking.
By placing themselves in distracting envirnments and insisting n wrking lng hurs, thesestudents are damaging their brain's ability t think clearly and efficiently accmplish the task at hand.In the end they get halfthe results with twice the effrt.
The bigger prblem here is that mst students dn't even realize that they’re pseud-wrking. Tthem pseud-wrking is wrk－ it’s hw they've always dne it, and it's hw all ftheir friends d it.It never crsses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, n the ther hand,knw all abut pseud-wrking. They fear it. It nt nly wastes time, but it's als mentally tiring.
In fact, the mst imprtant skill in becming a straight-A student is the ability t get wrk dnequickly and with a minimum f wasted effrt. Sme cgnitive scienceresearch cncludes that abutfifty minutes is the ptimal learning perid t maximize the material integrated per time unit. S hwd these students achieve this gal? T understand their secret t success, cnsider the fllwing simplefrmula (公式): wrk accmplished = time spent × intensity f fcus.
Pseud-wrking features a very lw intensity f fcus. Therefre, t accmplish smething bypseud-wrking, yu need t spend a lt ftime. The straight-A apprach n the ther hand, increasesintensity in rder t use less time.
32．Which fthe fllwing phenmenn is pseud-wrking?
A．Tm is busy taking ntes while attending a lecture.
B．Mike is sitting at a study lunge in preparatin fr a final exam quietly.
C．Jack spends a lng time in the library n his essay while listening t music.
D．Alice and Sara are sitting n the cuch reading their favrite bks.
33．Cmpared with straight-A students, the majr prblem f mst students is that.
A．they want t spend mre time n study
B．they are eager t fllw their friends' way
C．they have gt used t their study apprach
D．they are unaware ftheir pseud-wrking
34．What des the underlined wrd “ptimal” mean in paragraph 5?
A．Pssible B．Best C．Least D．Accurate
35．What des the authr want t stress by mentining the frmula?
A．The length ftime n study cunts.
B．Cncentratin plays a key rle in study.
C．Getting wrk dne quickly means everything.
D．Effective study apprach is very imprtant.
