20、ors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and hed stopped breathing. I saw him breath, but the doctor said it was no use, ” Kate told the Daily Mail. “I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still breathing, that was a sign of life. I wasnt go

21、ing to give up easily. Still, the Sydney couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him. “I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us, Kate told Today. Wed resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we

22、were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments. Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and ordered David to join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact wo

23、uld improve his condition. They also talked to him. “We were trying to entice him to stay, Kate told the Daily Mail. We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him. ”Then something miraculous happened. Jamie gasped again-and then he sta

24、rted breathing. Finally, the couples lost boy had made it. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their birth. Emily burst into tears, Kate said. She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whole experience

28、swoops in from the future to pick up his partner in a De-Lorean fueled by trash. In 2022 trash-powered vehicles still sound like science fiction, but a technology revolution may be turning them into a reality. Hidden among the carefully striated（条纹）layers of waste at the local landfill is a potent e

29、nergy source: methane gas. When it isnt transformed into something else, methane is an extremely strong pollutant, 82 times as powerful as carbon dioxide. In a lesson about how the energy transition is likely to play out, landfill operators ability to make use of excess gas has exploded in recent ye

30、ars. New facilities are being created to convert（转化） trash into renewable natural gas（RNG）. The potential has spurred（刺激） major sanitation and energy companies to break into this new market. In October the British company BP agreed to acquire Archaea Energy, a company that designs, builds and operat

31、es RNG plants in the U. S. to convert waste emissions. Archaea produces 6, 000 oil-equivalent barrels（油桶当量）a day through 13 RNG facilities with plans to construct 88 more to serve rising demand. Our only input is trash. Archaea sells largely to voluntary buyers who wish to lock in clean gas at fair

32、prices. RNG still comes at a high price compared with other fuel sources, but reducing the cost of producing RNG will mean more of it is available to buyers on attractive terms. We are working to lower the price of RNG by creating standardized and modular（模块化的）production facilities with decreased op

33、erating costs, higher processing efficiency, and uptime rates that start above 90%. Small-scale breakthroughs in gas processing enabled us to improve the portion of usable natural gas recovered from landfills to 95%, up from an industry standard of 75%. Some of the predictions in Back to the Future

34、proved too far-fetched. Flying cars seem as distant today aas they were in the 1980s. But power from trash? Today trash represents a permanent carbon-negative source of natural gas. Voluntary transactions in RNG and the micro-scale process improvements that have boosted this market suggest a far mor

35、e circular economy on the horizon. 28. According to the passage, which one of the following is true?A. There are high concentrations of carbon methane gas in the waste of landfills. B.

36、bused excess gas and caused explosions. D. People are building new facilities to convert garbage into renewable energy. 29. What is the industry standard for the proportion of natural gas recovered from landfills?A. 70%B. 75%C. 90%D. 95% 30. It can be inferred about Archaea Energy from the text that

NeutralDSchumpeter is only an amateur stargazer（天文爱好者）. His equipment is no fancier than a pair of eyes and a place in the countryside, away from L

39、ondons light pollution. That is enough to make out Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn-and, occasionally, the International Space Station crossing the sky. In the past few years a new spectacle has appeared in the form of the Starlink satellites. Launched by SpaceX, they look like nothing else in the he

40、avens, floating like a train of white dots in tight formation. SpaceX is a remarkable firm founded to further Mr Musks dream of colonizing Mars. Its rockets cost half as much as its rivals do, thanks in part to their ability to land their first stages for reuse rather than dumping them in the sea in

41、 line with standard industry practice. SpaceXs rocket business alone does not justify this rich valuation. The market for launches is small and stagnant （不景气的）. This is where Starlink comes in. Those satellites are the lead of a planned constellation1（发射计划）of over1, 000, designed to beam （传输）the Int

42、ernet to every corner of the globe. Satellite broadband is not a new idea. But existing options are expensive and slow. Starlinks cheap, mass-produced, low-flying satellites would, SpaceX claims, offer a service comparable to earthly broadband at competitive prices. Starlinks chief competitor is One

43、Web, with 74 satellites in orbit and hundreds more planned. It, too, went bust in March, after failing to persuade SonMasayoshi, a Japanese billionaire, to invest more cash. But it has new sponsors. On July 3rd Boris Johnson, Britains prime minister, announced that his government had stumped up S500

44、m for a 45% stake in OneWeb, and a golden share giving it control over its future. Bharti Global, an Indian telecoms firm, also put in S500m. OneWeb may need more cash if it is to complete its constellation. British taxpayers may never see a financial return on their investment. But if OneWeb keeps

45、Mr Musk on his toes even for a little while, their loss may turn out to be global consumers gain. Stranger things have happened in space. 32. What is the function of Paragraph 1?A. To show respect for amateur stargazers. B. To draw readers attention to light pollution. C. To introduce the topic of S

46、tarlink satellites. D. To give an example of observing stars. 33. What is the reason for the emergence of Starlink?A. The rocket launch market is small and depressed. B.

47、. Starlink can provide services comparable to earthly broadband at competitive prices. 34. How did OneWeb maintain its economy?A. It built 74 in-orbit satellites and planned hundreds of them. B. It persuaded SonMasayoshi to invest more money. C. Boris Johnsons government and an Indian company invest

48、ed a total of S1 billion. D. The continuous competition between OneWeb and SpaceX brought it benefits. 35. From the last paragraph, we can infer thatA. OneWebs financial losses may turn out to be global consumers gainB. the battle between OneWeb and SpaceX may benefit global consumersC.
