Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has spent much of his time seeking artistic solutions to solve our environmental problems.His past projects include“Bioluminescent(生物发光) Trees'”to light streets,a“Smog-Free Tower”to clean Beijing's polluted air and“Gates of Light",which uses the headlamps of passing cars to light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk,a major dam in the Netherlands.Now,he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global problem一space junk(垃圾)！ Scientists guess that there are over 500,000 pieces of large rubbish.To deal with the problem,Roosegaarde intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation and coming up with possible solutions.The plan,called the Space Waste Lab,started in October 2018 with a laser (show in the Netherlands.The unique outdoor artwork of LEDs used real-time tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at heights of 200 to 20,000 kilometers.The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk there are. To find a solution,the designer has been thinking with experts.One of the projects being considered is"Shooting Stars",which attempts to reintroduce the rubbish to the atmosphere in a controlled way.Upon returning planetside,the waste would burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star. Not just about cleaning up space,Roosegaarde sees this as an opportunity to deal with another issue at the same time."The Netherlands spends 70 million on fireworks every year," says Roosegaarde."There's a.lot of damage,they can be dangerous and there's also a lot of pollution.Working with the scientific department at the European Space Agency,we have produced a new type of practical experience that both cleans up space and offers a new form of fireworks performance.at large public events,"he adds. 英语试题第3页（共8页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 24.What can we infer about Daan Roosegaarde from paragraph 1?

Eating a pastry,cake,or chocolate bar every so often may be better for your heart than a "zero- sugar"diet,which might cause nutrient deficiencies and energy crashes,etc.,according to the research team from Lund University in Sweden. The researchers looked at records of 69,705 people in Swedish public health databases. The participants,aged between 45 and 83,were quizzed on their diet and lifestyle in 1997 and 2009,then tracked up to 2019.Sugar intake was grouped into three categories:sugary toppings (like honey),sweet treats(like pastries and sweets),and sweetened beverages (like fizzy drinks).Type of added sugar consumed was then cross-referenced(相互对照)against seven types of cardiovascular diseases,including strokes and heart attacks,with several other risk factors such as smoking)accounted for. The associations varied between sugar type and heart disease type.Overall though,the lowest risks across all cardiovascular diseases were found in those who limited themselves to a sweet treat every now and again. There's a lot to consider when it comes to the different ways in which we get our sugar: what other foods and drinks we have with the sugar,for example,as well as how regularly we include added sugar in our diet."Liquid sugars,found in sweetened beverages,typically provide less satiety than solid forms-they make you feel less full-potentially leading to overconsumption,"says Janzi."Context also matters-treats are often enjoyed in social settings or special occasions,while sweetened beverages might be consumed more regularly." Bear in mind that these findings imply relationships,rather than proving cause and effect. They also don't factor in other health consequences-like damage to teeth for example-and need to be taken in context with what we already know about sugar. 28.How do researchers conduct the study? A.By consulting doctors. B.By doing experiments. C.By analyzing databases. D.By interviewing patients, 英语试题第4页（共8页） C③扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP 29.What does the underlined word "satiety"in paragraph 4 mean?

A.To present a finding to the readers. B.To advocate for regular sugar consumption. C.To urge policymakers to ban sweet. D.To challenge existing scientific knowledge. D "Tum off,tune out and drop in."That's the message to customers at a Dutch digital detox (cafe who are paying for the benefit from leaving their phones at the door.The Offline Club,which began life in Amsterdam,offers an oasis (of calm and pause from the constant digital busyness of life lived through the black glass of a smartphone.It creates moments of quiet reflection,and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments typed out 280 characters at a time.

"People love it:they tell us this is exactly what they've been waiting for;they can't believe it didn't exist already,"says co-founder Ilya Kneppelhout."A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn't felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half. Customers switch between time to themselves and time to connect."People don't just pay to get rid of their phones-they're also paying to meet others,"says Kneppelhout."We live in quite a world where we're more connected online,but in the physical world,it's hard to meet people. He's already had a group of digital downtime followers in the UK,where Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over-dependence on phones,points out another benefit of a switched-off society."We are constantly at risk of having every word or image captured and shared,"she says."This sense of being endlessly photographed is something that has come with these devices being in our lives so much.Wouldn't it be great to feel safe knowing it doesn't matter if we're having a bad hair day,or don't really like our outfit?" 32.What is the main purpose of the Offline Club?
