She wanted to find young conductors at the beginning of their careers and make sure they had tools to enable them not to give up until they succeed "It's so important to train young talents and give them the oppornunities to succeed." she said reflecting on founding the Donatella Flick Conducting Competition 33 years ago That was why, she emphasized, the prize went beyond the cash award - which was a healthy f15, ooo -- and offered the winner the opportunity to assist the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO for a year. They could work with some of the world's finest conductors and lay foundations for a successful conducting career Flick was born Princess Donatella Missikoff. Since 1917, Flick has successfully built a career and reputation as an artist. She now organizes charitable foundations and project all over the world With the Competition. she was motivated by finding more talents in unexpected places - before diversity and inclusion spread through different industries as new"buzzwords" “One way to do this was to broaden the range for applications, so we opened up entries to conductors from Iceland. Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland in 2018. Since then. I've been very pleased to see conductors from those countries reach the list of competitors." she said. "One of the major changes that I've been very happy to see is that more women are applying for the Competition now than when we started in 19oo, and I hope this continues in future competitions." In view of the fact that only four of the 20 conductors - that was 20 percent -- who qualified for the 2023 competition were women, it was clear that a gender imbalance persisted. "I think we have a new generation of female conductors emerging, and I would deeply encourage them to apply to the Competition if they're at the start of their careers." Flick said, still hopeful. 24. Why did Flick found the Conducting Competition? A. To become famous B. To continue her family tradition C. To train the future stars of conducting. D. To promote the finest conductors' careers 25. How did Flick help young conductors? A. By introducing them to some world-class orchestras B. By supporting them financially 扫描全能王 创建 C. By equipping them with conducting tools D. By providing more opportunities for them 26. What major change does the Conducting Competition-bring? A. The range for applications is broadened every year B. More females intend to take part in it now. C. Youths worldwide engage themselves in conducting D. Males account for 8o% of the qualified conductors 27. Which of the following can best describe Flick? A. Kind and ambitious B. Generous and brave. C. Sensible and creative D. Energetic and productive C Like most people, you have probably lost count of the number of perfect-looking shoes you have thrown away simply because the rubber soles (橡胶鞋底) are broken. In addition to the expense, it is also harmful to our environment. Now, thanks to a revolutionary self-healing 3-D printed rubber material, broken shoe soles may be a thing of the past The magicad polymer (聚合物) is developed by the researchers at the University of Southem California's (USC) and the University of Connecticut (UConn). The team, led by USC Assistant Professor Qiming Wang, created it through a process called photopolymerization, which uses light to solidify the liauid used to create 3-D printed plastic. The researchers found that adding the right amount of oxidant (氧化剂) to the liauid allowed the 3-D polymer to heal (愈合) without slowing down the hardening process "When we gradually increase the oxidant, the self - healing behavior becomes stronger, but the photopolymerization behavior becomes weaker," explained Wang. "There is competition betweer these two behaviors." The team, who published the findings in the joumal NPG Asia Materials on February 1st, 2019 state that the repair time can be reduced by increasing the room temperature. "If you just put a broken shoe on a bench at room temperature, the rubber will heal itself in six to eight hours," Wang said. "If you apply heat at maybe 60-C, that expedites the healing process to about two hours." Given the material s huge potential, it is not surprising to hear that Wang and his team have been approached by several shoe-making companies eager to be the first to use the, technology which is still in the early stages. Once perfected, the scientists also hope to apply the technique to hard plastics that can be used to create self-healing toys, electronics, vehicle parts, and, if Wang has his way, even tires 28. How do the researchers make 3-D printed plastic self- heal? A. By changing the amount of light used B. By raising the temperature at which it is used C. By increasing the hardening speed of the liquid D. By adding the proper amount of oxidant to the liquid 29. What can be inferred from the text? A. The creation of 3-D printed plastic doesn't need light 3 扫描全能王 创建 B. The surroundtng temperature determines the speed of healing C. Many shoe making companies got the right to use the technology D. Throwing away broken shoe soles has been a thing of the past. 30. What does the underlined word "expedites" mean? A. Strengthens. B. Delays. .C. Accelerates. D. Worsens. 31. Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A. Self - healing shoes may be in our future B. 3-D printing technology makes a difference C. Self - healing technology will serve many fields D. A revolution of rubber soles has changed our life D With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europe's future leader in green hydrogen production to clean up heavy industries. But some energy experts express caution because this process relies on massive availability ot 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 produc 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(氛.) 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. 5oo 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 nodel for hydrogen production, distribution and supply at a competitfve prioe. 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 is 20% of energy consumption. What about the 80% that is not electrified? ... You need to replace those fossil fiels. Not in 50 years' time. You need to replace them now." 32. 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 33. What is the advantage of green hydrogen production in Spain? 4 扫描全能王 创建 A. Ideal geographical conditions B. The support from govermment C. Hydrogen production technology D. Wcll-devcloped public transports 34. What can be infcrred 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 35. What is the passage mainly about? A.' Spain manages to use zero-carbon electricity B. Spain struggles to lead EU in heavy industry C. Spain takes the lead in preventing air pollution D. Spain replaces fossil fuel with green hydrogen 第二节(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Accept Tricky Feelings Imagine that you only felt so-called positive feelings, like excitement, joy and safety. 3u.
