第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分,满分37. 5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Escaping the city and getting back to nature is a great way to relax and recharge — there is nothing quite like sleeping in a treehouse. These new treehouses range from cosy to luxurious. Besides the well-known Bower Treehouse, we’ve found a few others in the UK.
Gwdy Hw, Wales
In the heart of the Welsh mountains, Gwdy Hw has six treehouses designed with the surrounding woodland in mind, so much so that they melt smoothly into the valley’s treeline. Each cosy treehouse features a wood-burning stove, a double bed, and a toilet. The only thing missing is electricity, so you can avoid using your digital devices and exchange electric lights for twinkling lanterns while reading comfortably under blankets.
Netherby Estate, Cumbria
Set in the grounds of the Netherby Estate, with views of the Scottish border, this cabin-like outpost (前哨基地) has been built among ancient oak trees. That makes it feel a little more well- built than other treehouses, but it’s a cosy nest, just the same, and is filled with home comforts. Kids will love the mezzanine level (夹层), accessed by a ladder, while adults will enjoy the outdoor hot bath.
Treetops at the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel, Devon
If you only saw the inside of this luxury space, you’d have trouble believing it was actually supported on stilts (桩子) and built around a tree. There’s a free-standing bathtub, for starters, as well as a living room with a sofa, a king-size bedroom and amazing wooden inner parts throughout. A private terrace (露台) overlooks the fishing lake, providing a true escape into nature.
1. If you want to take a break from social media, which treehouse should you consider?
A. Bower Treehouse.
B. Gwdy Hw, Wales.
C. Netherby Estate, Cumbria.
D. Treetops at the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel, Devon.
2. Netherby Estate, Cumbria is a great place for you to ________.
A. lie in bed counting stars B. cook food for your family
C. have fun fishing with your friends D. enjoy the sight of ancient oak trees
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A research paper. B. A travel brochure.
C. A novel. D. A fashion magazine.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B
【解析】

Charles and Lisa Shaw bought a deserted junior high school in Durango, Colorado and turned it into a vibrant(充满活力的) artist community.
Colorado is growing in popularity in the 21st century for a variety of reasons. Charles Shaw saw this opportunity nearly two decades ago. Along with his wife Lisa; he bought a deserted high school in the city. Despite the building's age and rough condition, the Shaws still spent a lot of money to obtain the rights to the high school. Charles wanted to turn the building into a mixed-use space for the local community. This was his lifelong dream.
Charles intended to make the space an artistic center where creative individuals could work on their projects and passions. Within a few months of use, it was clear that the current state of the building was not continuable. The energy bill was costing Charles over $5, 000 of his personal savings. Despite his desire to keep the building alive, the monthly bill was simply too high. It required a lot of energy to run the old high school.
Instead of quitting his dream, Charles decided to fix LED lighting throughout the building. He also started to control the ventilation(通风) system with motion sensors. This ensured that rooms were only using energy when people were present. In addition, Charles fixed solar panels to power the entire building. With all of these changes, Charles was able to reduce the monthly bill to less than $400. These solutions helped to keep his dream alive.
Charles currently lives in the rebuilt high school with his wife and their young child. There are several other artists and nonprofit organizations that also inhabit the same space. The area has been titled the “Smiley Building” and is a landmark in the small town of Durango. Many tourists visit this stunning place

Teenagers are growing increasingly inactive worldwide. Worse still is the fact that Australia, a nation that prides itself on its outdoor culture, is doing particularly poorly. We’re currently ranked 140th out of 146 countries for teenage exercise levels. The data shows that 85% of girls are physically inactive compared to 78% of boys. In Australia, less than 1 in 10 adolescents aged 12 to 18 are meeting the recommended levels of physical activity.
The current guidelines and evidence state that teenagers should do at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous(剧烈的) physical activity per day. This should include muscle and bone strengthening activities at least three days per week, whilst limiting recreational screen time to a maximum of 2 hours per day.
Not being sufficiently active can cause a range of health conditions leading to early adulthood and beyond. Adolescents may have decreased bone and cardio-metabolic(心脏代谢的) health which leaves them facing an increased risk of chronic disease in later life, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and decreased fitness. If you're not moving enough, you’re also at an increased risk of being overweight or obese, with statistics already showing that 29. 8% of teenagers are classified as overweight.
So how can we get teenagers to exercise more? Firstly high schools should place more importance on lunchtime and allow 1-hour breaks that increase physical activity. We should also encourage teenagers to be active on their lunch break. Parents and guardians also have an important role to play and should aim to dedicate 1 hour a day to moving more. This does not need to be 1 full hour and can be broken down into two 30-minute blocks. The most important factor is to identify your teenager’s interests, level, and needs surrounding their physical activity.
Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance in finding a safe and fun exercise program. An accredited(经授权的) exercise physiologist or exercise scientist can help your child find a way to be more active that is suited to their needs, age of development, and interests.
8. What does the data about teenagers in Australia show?
A. Girls are more active than boys. B. They generally lack enough exercise.
C. Boys prefer vigorous physical activity. D. They are proud of their outdoor culture.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. A lack of exercise does lasting harm to health.
B. Outdoor activities help build positive character
C. Most chronic diseases come from getting overweight.
D. Teenagers tend to take in more calories than they need.
10. What is especially important when it comes to encouraging teenagers to exercise more?
A. Parents’ full participation in exercising. B. Taking their interests into consideration.
C. Improvement in the school PE course. D. Arranging a balanced diet for them.
11. Why does the author most probably write the text?
A. To recommend fun exercise
B. To encourage physical activity among teenagers.
C. To explain the reason for teenagers’ poor health.
D. To demonstrate the way to build a good living habit.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. B
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段中“The data shows that 85% of girls are physically inactive compared to 78% of boys. In Australia, less than 1 in 10 adolescents aged 12 to 18 are meeting the recommended levels of physical activity.(数据显示,85% 的女孩缺乏身体活动,而男孩的这一比例为 78%。在澳大利亚,12 岁至 18 岁的青少年中,只有不到十分之一的人达到了建议的身体活动水平。)”可知,澳大利亚的青少年普遍缺乏足够的锻炼。故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Not being sufficiently active can cause a range of health conditions leading to early adulthood and beyond. Adolescents may have decreased bone and cardio-metabolic (心脏代谢的) health which leaves them facing an increased risk of chronic disease in later life, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and decreased fitness. If you're not moving enough, you’re also at an increased risk of being overweight or obese, with statistics already showing that 29. 8% of teenagers are classified as overweight.(缺乏足够的身体活动会导致一系列健康问题,一直延续到成年早期及以后。青少年的骨骼和心脏代谢健康可能会下降,这使他们在以后的生活中面临更高的患慢性病的风险,包括 2 型糖尿病、心脏病、高胆固醇和体质下降。如果你运动不足,你超重或肥胖的风险也会增加,统计数据已经显示,29.8% 的青少年被归类为超重。)”可知,该段主要讲述了缺乏锻炼会对健康造成持久的危害。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The most important factor is to identify your teenager’s in terests, level, and needs surrounding their physical activity.(最重要的因素是确定你家青少年在身体活动方面的兴趣、水平和需求。)”可知,在鼓励青少年多锻炼时,考虑他们的兴趣尤其重要。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章开头指出澳大利亚青少年缺乏锻炼的现状,接着阐述了缺乏锻炼对健康的危害,然后提出了如何让青少年多锻炼的方法,最后提到可以寻求帮助找到适合青少年的锻炼项目。根据第一段“Teenagers are growing increasingly inactive worldwide. Worse still is the fact that Australia, a nation that prides itself on its outdoor culture, is doing particularly poorly.(在全球范围内,青少年越来越缺乏身体活动。更糟糕的是,澳大利亚,一个以其户外文化为傲的国家,在这方面做得尤其差。)”以及第四段“So how can we get teenagers to exercise more?(那么我们怎样才能让青少年多锻炼呢?)”等内容可知,作者写这篇文章主要是为了鼓励青少年进行身体活动。故选B项。
D
Researchers from Japan claim to have developed a faster carbon capture system that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air.
There is about 400ppm CO2 in the air, which is 0. 04% of the total air volume. To separate such a small amount of CO2, a very powerful liquid chemical medium is needed to isolate (隔离) CO2 from the air before it is separated using high heat. Using such chemicals to generate the required energy for the Direct Air Capture (DAC) system to function creates a high cost, with most DAC systems requiring around $600 to capture one ton of CO2. Also, chemicals used to capture CO2 from the air lose their efficiency as the reaction continues for an extended period of time.
Dr Seiji Yamazoe and his team from Tokyo Metropolitan University handled this challenge by developing a solid-liquid phase separation system. Rather than removing CO2 from the air as a liquid or gas, the liquid chemicals used in the medium react with the CO2 and produce insoluble crystals (不能溶解的晶体). These crystals are separated from the liquid medium and then heated to slowly release carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas can then be stored elsewhere.
The researchers optimized the solid-liquid phase separation system by finding a chemical medium that is efficient in capturing and releasing CO2. They tried multiple different chemicals and measured the rate of insoluble crystal formation over 10 hours as well as the final quantity of crystals formed. One of the chemicals they tested, called isophorone diamine (IPDA), could convert (转化) almost 99% of CO2 from the air at twice the rate of other conventional chemical media used in most DAC systems.
The following tests with IPDA also showed that the resulting crystals completely release carbon dioxide gas by gently being heated at 60 degrees Celsius. Not only was this temperature much lower compared to what is used in current DAC systems, but the IPDA was also fully recoverable — the IPDA could be reused immediately for another reaction.
With this discovery, Yamazoe and his team hope that this system could be scaled up and used for the efficient removal of excessive CO2 from the air.
12. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2?
A. The amount of CO2 in the air is increasing.
B. Environmental protection can be very costly.
C. DAC systems fail to be economically efficient.
D. The separation of CO2 from the air is time-consuming.
13. How do Dr Seiji Yamazoe and his team remove CO2 from the air?
A. By changing CO2 into insoluble crystals. B. By heating the air to high temperatures.
C. By making CO2 react with other gases. D. By storing CO2 in a liquid form.
14. What does the underlined word “optimized” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Tested. B. Improved. C. Analyzed. D. Observed.
15. What did the tests with IPDA indicate?
A. The IPDA was good at storing CO2. B. The new system was free of heating.
C. The new system was quite energy-saving. D. The IPDA was effective in cleaning the air.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了日本研究人员开发的一种更快的碳捕获系统,通过固液分离技术高效地从空气中去除二氧化碳。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Using such chemicals to generate the required energy for the Direct Air Capture (DAC) system to function creates a high cost, with most DAC systems requiring around $600 to capture one ton of CO2. Also, chemicals used to capture CO2 from the air lose their efficiency as the reaction continues for an extended period of time.(使用这些化学物质来产生直接空气捕获(DAC)系统运行所需的能量,成本很高,大多数DAC系统捕获一吨二氧化碳需要大约600美元。此外,用于从空气中捕获二氧化碳的化学物质会随着反应持续时间的延长而失去效率)”可知,DAC系统的经济效率不高。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Rather than removing CO2 from the air as a liquid or gas, the liquid chemicals used in the medium react with the CO2 and produce insoluble crystals ( 不能溶解的晶体 ).(不是以液体或气体的形式从空气中去除二氧化碳,而是在介质中使用的液体化学物质与二氧化碳反应并产生不溶性晶体)”可知,Dr Seiji Yamazoe团队通过将CO2转化为不溶性晶体来去除CO2。故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“ by finding a chemical medium that is efficient in capturing and releasing CO2(通过找到一种能够高效捕获和释放CO2的化学介质来优化固液分离系统)可知,研究人员对固液相分离系统进行了优化。“optimized”意为“改进”。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The following tests with IPDA also showed that the resulting crystals completely release carbon dioxide gas by gently being heated at 60 degrees Celsius. Not only was this temperature much lower compared to what is used in current DAC systems, but the IPDA was also fully recoverable—the IPDA could be reused immediately for another reaction.(对IPDA的后续测试还表明,通过轻轻加热到60摄氏度,生成的晶体完全释放出二氧化碳气体。不仅这个温度比当前DAC系统中使用的温度低得多,而且IPDA也是完全可回收的——IPDA可以立即重新用于另一个反应)”可知,新系统在加热温度上大幅降低,具有节能优势。故选C。

Learn from Your Regrets
“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention.” The song’s idea is that anyone can just declare that what’s done is done and move on. Easier said than done, though. The truth is that regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. ___16___ It’s to recognize it and use it for learning and improvement.
Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself considering your past missteps.
Kill the ghost (鬼).
People often say their regrets “haunt (缠绕) ” them. This suggests that regret is like a ghost: not entirely clear but always frightening. ___17___
Write down why each one still bothers you and its remaining bad effects. Be honest. You will find that a list is a lot less frightening than a ghost.
___18___
After you make a mistake, life moves on. But sometimes you just can’t stop kicking yourself. Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and keep thinking today how much money you would be making if you had tried harder. ___19___ So, remind yourself not to waste another minute of your life regretting a decision that cannot be changed.
Collect your diploma (毕业证书) .
Regret is like a school run by human nature. If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to miss opportunities and damage relationships in the past. Your regret can teach you to become smarter and more successful.
Regrets may hurt, but always worrying about them is harmful. Avoiding them (or ignoring them) is a lost opportunity to grow. ___20___ To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it, including the mistakes, and moving forward.
A. Forgive yourself.
B. But regret makes no sense.
C. Not all regrets are the same, of course.
D. The trick is not to remove the bad feeling.
E. Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains.
F. We have to seek them out on purpose to improve ourselves.
G. Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几点如何从遗憾中吸取教训的方法和建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“The truth is that regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged.( 事实是,遗憾并不一定要置之不理。)”以及下文“It’s to recognize it and use it for learning and improvement.( 而是要认识到它,并利用它来学习和提高。)”可知,上文提到遗憾并非不可处理,下文指出要认识它并用于学习和改进,D选项The trick is not to remove the bad feeling.( 关键不是消除这种不好的感觉。)可知,符合语境,说明对待遗憾不是简单消除感觉,而是有其他方式,起到承上启下的作用。故选D项。
【17题详解】
该段标题是“Kill the ghost(杀死幽灵)”以及下文“Write down why each one still bothers you and its remaining bad effects. Be honest. You will find that a list is a lot less frightening than a ghost.( 写下为什么每件事仍然困扰着你,以及它留下的不良影响。要诚实。你会发现名单远没有幽灵可怕。)”G选项Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets. (通过列出你的遗憾清单,把你的‘幽灵’从阴影中带出来。)可知,与标题呼应,且下文提到写下遗憾困扰自己的原因及不良影响,进一步说明列清单的做法。故选G项。
【18题详解】
由该题为段落小标题可知,为总结该段内容。该段下文“After you make a mistake, life moves on. But sometimes you just can’t stop kicking yourself. Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and keep thinking today how much money you would be making if you had tried harder.( 在你犯了一个错误之后,生活继续前进。但有时候你就是忍不住踢自己。也许你几十年前就辍学了,今天还在想,如果你更努力的话,你会赚多少钱。)”可知,该段讲述人们犯错后总是自责,提醒自己不要浪费时间后悔无法改变的决定,A选项Forgive yourself. (原谅自己)可知,能概括该段主旨,适合作为小标题。故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and keep thinking today how much money you would be making if you had tried harder.( 也许你几十年前就辍学了,今天还在想,如果你更努力的话,你会赚多少钱。)”可知,上文举例说明人们总是纠结过去的错误,如几十年前辍学就一直想着如果当时努力现在能赚多少钱,B选项But regret makes no sense.( 但遗憾毫无意义。)可知,承接上文,说明这种一直后悔的行为没有意义,符合语境。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it, including the mistakes, and moving forward.( 活得好、活得充实意味着从每一点教训中学习,包括错误,然后继续前进。)”可知,下文提到要好好地、充实地生活意味着从生活的每一点中学习,包括错误,然后继续前进,E选项Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains.( 生活是一段充满快乐和痛苦的旅程。)可知,引出后文对生活的阐述,说明生活有各种经历,要从包括遗憾在内的经历中学习。故选E项。

【41题详解】

At this moment, David’s bus arrived. Looking at his watch, the school bus and the anxious woman, he decided to continue helping her find the wallet despite the pressure of his own schedule.
Luckily, several minutes later, they found the small wallet under a car. The woman’s face was a picture of relief (宽慰) as she carefully cleaned the dirt on it. “I can’t thank you enough,” said the woman, opening the wallet and pulling out a piece of paper. “It includes my grandmother’s wish to find the poor student who has been supported by her. She passed away yesterday, and she wanted to send out her last gift.” Then, the woman was sorry for David’s missing the bus so she called a taxi, and said, “I’ll get you to school in no time.”

A
Escaping the city and getting back to nature is a great way to relax and recharge — there is nothing quite like sleeping in a treehouse. These new treehouses range from cosy to luxurious. Besides the well-known Bower Treehouse, we’ve found a few others in the UK.
Gwdy Hw, Wales
In the heart of the Welsh mountains, Gwdy Hw has six treehouses designed with the surrounding woodland in mind, so much so that they melt smoothly into the valley’s treeline. Each cosy treehouse features a wood-burning stove, a double bed, and a toilet. The only thing missing is electricity, so you can avoid using your digital devices and exchange electric lights for twinkling lanterns while reading comfortably under blankets.
Netherby Estate Cumbria
Set in the grounds of the Netherby Estate, with views of the Scottish border, this cabin-like outpost (前哨基地) has been built among ancient oak trees. That makes it feel a little more well- built than other treehouses, but it’s a cosy nest, just the same, and is filled with home comforts. Kids will love the mezzanine level (夹层), accessed by a ladder, while adults will enjoy the outdoor hot bath.
Treetops at the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel, Devon
If you only saw the inside of this luxury space, you’d have trouble believing it was actually supported on stilts (桩子) and built around a tree. There’s a free-standing bathtub, for starters, as well as a living room with a sofa, a king-size bedroom and amazing wooden inner parts throughout. A private terrace (露台) overlooks the fishing lake, providing a true escape into nature.
1. If you want to take a break from social media, which treehouse should you consider?
A. Bower Treehouse.
B. Gwdy Hw, Wales.
C. Netherby Estate, Cumbria.
D. Treetops at the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel, Devon.
2. Netherby Estate, Cumbria is a great place for you to ________.
A. lie in bed counting stars B. cook food for your family
C. have fun fishing with your friends D. enjoy the sight of ancient oak trees
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A research paper. B. A travel brochure.
C. A novel. D. A fashion magazine.
B
Charles and Lisa Shaw bought a deserted junior high school in Durango, Colorado and turned it into a vibrant(充满活力的) artist community.
Colorado is growing in popularity in the 21st century for a variety of reasons. Charles Shaw saw this opportunity nearly two decades ago. Along with his wife Lisa; he bought a deserted high school in the city. Despite the building's age and rough condition, the Shaws still spent a lot of money to obtain the rights to the high school. Charles wanted to turn the building into a mixed-use space for the local community. This was his lifelong dream.
Charles intended to make the space an artistic center where creative individuals could work on their projects and passions. Within a few months of use, it was clear that the current state of the building was not continuable. The energy bill was costing Charles over $5, 000 of his personal savings. Despite his desire to keep the building alive, the monthly bill was simply too high. It required a lot of energy to run the old high school.
Instead of quitting his dream, Charles decided to fix LED lighting throughout the building. He also started to control the ventilation(通风) system with motion sensors. This ensured that rooms were only using energy when people were present. In addition, Charles fixed solar panels to power the entire building. With all of these changes, Charles was able to reduce the monthly bill to less than $400. These solutions helped to keep his dream alive.
Charles currently lives in the rebuilt high school with his wife and their young child. There are several other artists and nonprofit organizations that also inhabit the same space. The area has been titled the “Smiley Building” and is a landmark in the small town of Durango. Many tourists visit this stunning place
4. Why did the Shaws buy the deserted high school?
A. To expand the family's living space. B. To create a new school for children.
C. To contribute to the community. D. To make long-term investment.
5. What problem did Charles meet after months of use?
A. The center was unknown to artists and organizations.
B. The building's operating costs were too high.
C. Energy consumption rose uncontrollably.
D. The building was too old to live in.
6. What's people's attitude towards the rebuilt building?
A. Doubtful. B. Shocked. C. Indifferent. D. Favorable.
7 Which of the following best describes Charles Shaw?
A. Humorous and imaginative. B. Creative and kind-hearted.
C. Confident but strict. D. Caring but sensitive.
C
Teenagers are growing increasingly inactive worldwide. Worse still is the fact that Australia, a nation that prides itself on its outdoor culture, is doing particularly poorly. We’re currently ranked 140th out of 146 countries for teenage exercise levels. The data shows that 85% of girls are physically inactive compared to 78% of boys. In Australia, less than 1 in 10 adolescents aged 12 to 18 are meeting the recommended levels of physical activity.
The current guidelines and evidence state that teenagers should do at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous(剧烈的) physical activity per day. This should include muscle and bone strengthening activities at least three days per week, whilst limiting recreational screen time to a maximum of 2 hours per day.
Not being sufficiently active can cause a range of health conditions leading to early adulthood and beyond. Adolescents may have decreased bone and cardio-metabolic(心脏代谢) health which leaves them facing an increased risk of chronic disease in later life, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and decreased fitness. If you're not moving enough, you’re also at an increased risk of being overweight or obese, with statistics already showing that 29. 8% of teenagers are classified as overweight.
So how can we get teenagers to exercise more? Firstly, high schools should place more importance on lunchtime and allow 1-hour breaks that increase physical activity. We should also encourage teenagers to be active on their lunch break. Parents and guardians also have an important role to play and should aim to dedicate 1 hour a day to moving more. This does not need to be 1 full hour and can be broken down into two 30-minute blocks. The most important factor is to identify your teenager’s interests, level, and needs surrounding their physical activity.
Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance in finding a safe and fun exercise program. An accredited(经授权的) exercise physiologist or exercise scientist can help your child find a way to be more active that is suited to their needs, age of development, and interests.
8. What does the data about teenagers in Australia show?
A. Girls are more active than boys. B. They generally lack enough exercise.
C. Boys prefer vigorous physical activity. D. They are proud of their outdoor culture.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. A lack of exercise does lasting harm to health.
B. Outdoor activities help build positive character
C. Most chronic diseases come from getting overweight.
D. Teenagers tend to take in more calories than they need.
10. What is especially important when it comes to encouraging teenagers to exercise more?
A Parents’ full participation in exercising. B. Taking their interests into consideration.
C. Improvement in the school PE course. D. Arranging a balanced diet for them.
11. Why does the author most probably write the text?
A. To recommend fun exercise
B. To encourage physical activity among teenagers.
C. To explain the reason for teenagers’ poor health.
D. To demonstrate the way to build a good living habit.
D
Researchers from Japan claim to have developed a faster carbon capture system that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air.
There is about 400ppm CO2 in the air, which is 0. 04% of the total air volume. To separate such a small amount of CO2, a very powerful liquid chemical medium is needed to isolate (隔离) CO2 from the air before it is separated using high heat. Using such chemicals to generate the required energy for the Direct Air Capture (DAC) system to function creates a high cost, with most DAC systems requiring around $600 to capture one ton of CO2. Also, chemicals used to capture CO2 from the air lose their efficiency as the reaction continues for an extended period of time.
Dr Seiji Yamazoe and his team from Tokyo Metropolitan University handled this challenge by developing a solid-liquid phase separation system. Rather than removing CO2 from the air as a liquid or gas, the liquid chemicals used in the medium react with the CO2 and produce insoluble crystals (不能溶解的晶体). These crystals are separated from the liquid medium and then heated to slowly release carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas can then be stored elsewhere.
The researchers optimized the solid-liquid phase separation system by finding a chemical medium that is efficient in capturing and releasing CO2. They tried multiple different chemicals and measured the rate of insoluble crystal formation over 10 hours as well as the final quantity of crystals formed. One of the chemicals they tested, called isophorone diamine (IPDA), could convert (转化) almost 99% of CO2 from the air at twice the rate of other conventional chemical media used in most DAC systems.
The following tests with IPDA also showed that the resulting crystals completely release carbon dioxide gas by gently being heated at 60 degrees Celsius. Not only was this temperature much lower compared to what is used in current DAC systems, but the IPDA was also fully recoverable — the IPDA could be reused immediately for another reaction.
With this discovery, Yamazoe and his team hope that this system could be scaled up and used for the efficient removal of excessive CO2 from the air.
12. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2?
A. The amount of CO2 in the air is increasing.
B. Environmental protection can be very costly.
C. DAC systems fail to be economically efficient.
D. The separation of CO2 from the air is time-consuming.
13. How do Dr Seiji Yamazoe and his team remove CO2 from the air?
A. By changing CO2 into insoluble crystals. B. By heating the air to high temperatures.
C. By making CO2 react with other gases. D. By storing CO2 in a liquid form.
14. What does the underlined word “optimized” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Tested. B. Improved. C. Analyzed. D. Observed.
15. What did the tests with IPDA indicate?
A. The IPDA was good at storing CO2. B. The new system was free of heating.
C. The new system was quite energy-saving. D. The IPDA was effective in cleaning the air.

Learn from Your Regrets
“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention.” The song’s idea is that anyone can just declare that what’s done is done and move on. Easier said than done, though.
