9、 concept.BIt is intended for gifted students.CStudents attend it on the Internet.DIt is totally free for poor students.Climate activist Henry Emson told Euronews that when he became a father seven years ago, he was worried about his familys effect on the environment. After doing some research, he fo

10、und the best way to eliminate their carbon footprint was by planting giant sequoia trees(巨型红杉树).Giant sequoias are ideal for capturing carbon dioxide because they continue to grow consistently for centuries, storing CO2 over time. General Sherman, the worlds largest sequoia tree, has stored an estim

11、ated 1,500 tons of CO2 in its trunk over the last 2,200 years and could live another 800 years. The average human could generate close to 1,000 tons of CO2 over their lifetime, so planting one giant sequoia could effectively reduce the carbon footprint of more than one person.After realizing the pow

12、er giant sequoias have to fight climate change, Emson devoted his life to planting thousands in the UK by creating the One Life One Tree project. Its final goal is to plant 100,000 giant sequoias in the UK by 2030, and according to The Mirror, as of March 2022, it has already planted 700. Trees are

13、currently being planted near Abergavenny in Wales and the project is expanding to Devon, the Lake District and Scotland.While the common assumption is that these giant trees can only be grown in Northern California, they actually do well in the UK at a time when the sequoia population is threatened

14、back home.According to One Tree One Life, 95% of the old-growth sequoia population has been logged over the past two centuries and what remains is under threat from climate change. “A 10 year drought and temperature increase have greatly damaged the health of the trees. A secondary impact of the dro

15、ught is making them increasingly susceptible(易受影响的)to insect attack and fire,” the site says.Considering the danger that climate change is causing giant sequoias in California, Emsons work also benefits these trees. “Theyre like climate refugees(难民)we help them with assisted migration,” he told Euro

Using augmented reality(AR)

19、glasses and a smartphone, hearing-impaired (有听力障碍的) people will soon be able to participate and engage in conversations.XRAI glasses were developed by Dan Scarfe after he spent a Christmas dinner with his family. Scarfe saw his 97-year-old hearing-impaired grandfather sitting alone in silence while

20、the rest of the family members were animated in conversation. His light bulb moment came when he remembered his grandfather watching closed-caption TV and realized that AR glasses could be used for subtitles (字幕).Scarfe got to work, partnering with Nreal, an AR glasses manufacturer. Six months later

21、, the team unveiled XRAI glasses. The glasses are connected to a smartphone that receives the audio (音频) from a microphone, processes it, and then uses software technology to transform it into closed captions.The company is now testing the glasses in the UJK and hopes to complete their pilot by the

22、end of this month. The UK was selected as a testing ground as over 13 million adults in Britain have hearing loss. However, when the product goes global, it may transform the lives of some 430 million people. This represents 5 percent of the worlds population and includes 70 million people with tota

23、l hearing loss.This is a game changer for the deaf and is applauded by hearing loss charity RNID and Deaf Kidz International. Mark Atkinson of the charity wore them, saying, “As a deaf person myself, I was blown away by this technology. When I tried on the glasses, I was astonished that real-time su

24、btitles enabled me to engage and participate as never before.For Scarfe and his startup, this is only the beginning. After the testing, XRAI will work with users feedback, hoping to make the product available to the public soon. He also imagines using smart glasses to translate languages, understand

27、.BTo speak highly of the new innovation.CTo doubt the possibility of Scarfes plans.DTo show the availability of XRAI glasses.For humans, the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic were a stressful time, marked by fear, isolation(隔离), canceled plans and uncertainty. But for birds that inhabit developed

28、areas of the Pacific Northwest, the reduction in noise due to pandemic lock downs allowed them to use a wider range of habitats in cities.A new University of Washington study led by Olivia Sander foot reported that many birds were just as likely to be found in highly developed urban areas as they we

29、re in less-developed green spaces during the peak of the COVID-19 lock downs.“Our findings suggest that some birds may have been able to use more spaces in cities because our human footprint was a little lighter,” said Sander foot. “For about half of the species we observed, neither land use nor can

30、opy cover(林冠盖度)had an effect on their site use. Thats very interesting, because we had expected that whether a habitat was mostly covered in concrete or vegetation could tell us something about what birds would be there.”In the spring of 2020, Sander foot and her colleagues invited more than 900 com

31、munity scientists in the Pacific Northwest to participate in the study. The volunteers chose their own monitoring sitesmostly backyards and parks where they could safely follow public health ordersand recorded the birds they observed over a 10-minute period at least once a week.In order to compare t

32、he volunteers bird observations with human activity, Sander foot and her colleagues used data from Googles Community Mobility Reports, which track the relative amount of people moving around at various points during the pandemic. While most people spent the spring of 2020 isolated in their homes, ma

33、ny began venturing out again over the course of the study period.As people returned to public spaces and human activity increased, the study volunteers recorded an increase in sightings of several bird species in their monitoring sites.“The birds mostly were in highly developed urban areas at the he

34、ight of the lock downs, because human activity wasnt as much of a disturbance, but then returned to those vegetated areas as human activity increased again,” Sander foot said.12What benefit could birds get during the pandemic lock downs?AGaining more human attention.BLiving in a lively environment.C

35、Expanding their living places.DReturning to vegetated areas.13What can we learn from Sander foots words in paragraph 3?ABirds actually dislike living in big cities.BIt is very difficult to identify bird species.CThe findings arent what he expected.DHuman footprint hardly affects bird species.14What

36、did Sander foot and her colleagues do for their study?AThey got community scientists involved in it.BThey tracked human activity for a whole year.CThey chose monitoring sites for the volunteers.DThey only observed birds in less-developed areas.15What can be a suitable title for the text?AThe Influen

38、decisions will depend on how you think about making your decisions and how you cope with living with the result.”If youre someone who lets past regrets fester(溃烂)in your mind, Leahy recommends that you fight against irrational(非理性的)thinking and think more realistically about where you are in life._1

39、6_ Here are some of his tips.Remember that you dont know things would have turned out better. If you imagine your life would have been better if only, keep in mind that your assumption is not based on real evidence. _17_ Instead, turn toward the future and remember it can change based on the choices

40、 you make now._18_Your negativity bias can keep you preoccupied with whats wrong rather than whats right. So, its a good idea to practise gratitude for the good in your lifeeven for the small and simple things. This helps to balance out the negative feelings that come with regret.Dont forget that so

41、metimes things dont turn out the way you wanted them to._19_You cannot know anything in advance, so you need to accept that sometimes you will regret your choices. But that doesnt mean you should criticize yourself endlessly. Its better to learn from your mistakes than to punish yourself.Accept trad

42、eoffs(折中)and compromises. Not everything has to turn out just the way you wanted it to. You wont make progress if you insist otherwise and make yourself miserable(痛苦的)in the process._20_.ABe grateful for your past mistakes.BDont focus on where you might have been.CWe will share some effective method

43、s with you.DFocus on the positive aspects of your current life.ESo, aim to be a satisficer rather than a maximizer.FLife can hand you lemons, but thats not necessarily your fault.GHe suggests using scientific approaches to question your assumptions.三、完形填空This morning, I stopped by a local grocery st

He had just moved to the town recently, but like all of us, he was feeling the_30_of the high cost of livin

46、g. I nodded with a sigh and helped him unload his groceries before_31_back home.On my way home, I thought to myself, “The cost of living keeps going up, but at least the cost of loving doesnt_32_.”That is the funny thing about loving. It almost costs us_33_. You might think if you spent your love_34
