21、With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe’s future leader in green hydrogen (氢气) production to clean up heavy industries. But some energy experts express caution because this process relies on massive availability of zero-carbon electricity.

Green hydrogen is created when renewable energy sources power an electrical current that runs through water, separating its hydrogen and oxygen molecules (分子). The process doesn’t produce planet-warming carbon dioxide, but less than 0.1% of global hydrogen production is currently created in this way.

The separated hydrogen can be used in the production of steel, ammonia (氨) and chemical products, all of which require industrial processes that are harder to stop fossil fuels. Hydrogen also can be used as a transportation fuel, which could one day transform the highly polluting shipping and aviation sectors.

Spain’s large, windswept and thinly populated territory receives more than 2,500 hours of sunshine on average per year, providing ideal conditions for wind and solar energy, and therefore green hydrogen production.

“If you look at where hydrogen is going to be produced in Europe in the next million years, it’s in two countries, Spain and Portugal,” said Thierry Lepercq, the founder and president of HyDeal Ambition, an industry platform bringing together 30 companies. “Hydrogen is the new oil.”

Lepercq is working with companies like Spanish gas pipeline corporation Enagas and global steel giant ArcelorMittal to design an end-to-end model for hydrogen production, distribution and supply at a competitive price. Criticism has centered on green hydrogen’s higher cost compared with highly-polluting “gray hydrogen” drawn from natural gas. Lepercq argues that solar energy produced in Spain is priced low enough to compete.

Globally, Lepercq said, “Electricity, power, is 20% of energy consumption. What about the 80% that is not electrified? ... You need to replace those fossil fuels. Not in 50 years’ time. You need to replace them now.”

【1】Why are some experts cautious about green hydrogen production in Spain?

A．It needs large amounts of sun and wind.

B．It has an effect on heavy industries.

C．It causes conflicts among countries.

D．It uses lots of zero-carbon electricity.

【2】What is the advantage of green hydrogen production in Spain?

A．Ideal geographical conditions.

B．The support from government.

C．Hydrogen production technology.

D．Well-developed public transports.

【3】What can be inferred about green hydrogen in Spain according to Lepercq?

A．It is highly priced.

B．It is easy to store.

C．It is competitive.

D．It is highly-polluting.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Spain Manages to Use Zero-carbon Electricity

B．Spain Struggles to Lead EU in Green Hydrogen

C．Spain Takes the Lead in Preventing Air Pollution

D．Spain Replaces Fossil Fuel with Green Hydrogen

22、The two roads

It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. When he cast them on the earth, where a few more hopeless people besides himself now moved towards their certain goal--- the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts.

The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads---one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snake hissed and crawled.

He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.

He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s night.

The clock in the church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards the heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back”

And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.

Those who still linger at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “ O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”

【1】In the 3rd paragraph, the man cried painfully because _________.

A.all the hopeless people were moving towards death

B.He had lost forever the chance to take the right road

C.His parents and the happy days of his youth were gone

D.He refused to take the road leading to a deep dark cave

【2】What happened to the man before his sudden realization?

A.He was at his father’s funeral farewell.

B.He was enjoying the New Year’s eve.

C.He was wandering at the entrance to life.

D.He was having a dream of his life in old age.

【3】We can infer from the story that _________.

A.The man’s childhood friends led a joyful life like him

B.The man still had the opportunity to chose the right way

C.both the man’s parents passed away when he was young

D.the man’s father was quite strict with his son before death

【4】The passage is mainly written for _________.

A.a new driver getting lost on a detour

B.a concerned mother with two children to raise

C.an experienced teacher with a good reputation

D.a hesitating young adult facing a tough life choice

24、Educational products are important to the toy industry. In recent years, parents have shown an interest in STEM-related toys—ones that help teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

But now, toymakers are working to create products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence. These toys reportedly not only help raise intelligence in children, but also their emotional quotient, or EQ. Intelligence includes intrapersonal skills—processing information within one’s mind—and interpersonal skills, or dealing with other people. Some toys have been made with the purpose of having a child act as a teacher or guide to a companion character.

There is an educational robot called Woobo. If you ask the hairy green robot, “Hi, what’s your name?” With a childlike voice, the toy will answer, “Are you trying to trick me? My name is Woobo.” The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touchscreen face to get them started. Toys that work as companions also aid in social development. Woobo can help a child who has autism spectrum disorder (自闭症谱系障碍). The child can communicate with Woobo and he can follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to do certain things.

A more low-tech companion is a toy animal called Manimo. The manufacturer says this toy can help reduce hyperactivity in children and improve their ability to pay attention to a subject. Whether it’s a snake, dolphin or other animal, Manimos can be placed across a child’s arm, chest or neck.

The manufacturer explained that adding deep pressure to the body can help calm a child before bedtime. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence,” he said.

It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded (多才多艺的) children.

【1】According to the passage, STEM-related toys are helpful in ______.

A set of textbooks designed to help high school students learn about traditional Chinese culture is to be published soon Beijing Times reported on Monday.

The books are the first national-level works of their kind and have been developed by a working group that promotes traditional culture. They will be used by students from autumn this year the report said.

The set contains four classics from ancient times. Two of the works Confucian Analects and Mencius are for 10 th -grade students while the other two Great Learning and Dao De Jing will be used by 11 th graders.

The initiative follows a series of steps the authorities have taken in recent years to spread and promote traditional Chinese culture on campus.

Last April the Ministry of Education released a series of guidelines requiring the inclusion of more information about traditional culture in primary and middle school textbooks especially those used for subjects such as Chinese language history art and physical education.

The guidelines said students’ knowledge of traditional culture will be tested in the senior high school entrance examination and the gaokao --- the college entrance exam.
