Pay Attention to Carbon Emissions
Your living way has a direct impact on the carbon footprints and the greenhouse gases you
produce.In other words,the way you live can either worsen global warming or work to
mitigate(缓和)it.
Understanding Carbon Footprints
A carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of carbon dioxide released into the
atmosphere by an individual,an organization,a product,or a country.It includes emissions
from various activities,such as energy consumption,transportation,food production,and
waste management.
Transportation Accounts for the Highest Carbon Emissions
Transportation accounts for one-fifth of global CO:emissions,and these emissions
mainly come from burning fossil fuels for our cars,trains,ships,and planes.
Cars
Planes
An average car emits about 404 g of CO:per
A short flight emits about 255 g of CO:per
mile.which equals to about 4.6 metrie tons of COz
mile.with total emissions increasing based on flight
per year on average.
distance and aireraft efficiency.
Ships
Trains
An average ship generates 140-260 g of CO:per
An electrie train only emits 30-100 g of COa
mile,translating to an annual average that varies
per mile under general conditions,which is far less
depending on the type and size.
than cars.
Reducing Your Carbon Footprints
Reducing your carbon footprints requires a combination of small changes to your daily
habits and choices.Here are some simple ways to get started:
OUse public transport,share a ride,or cycle whenever possible.
OUse renewable energy resources or invest in a community solar program.
OUse energy-efficient appliances and turn off lights and electronics when they are not in
use.
By making these changes,you can significantly reduce your carbon footprints and
contribute to a more sustainable future.
21.What is highlighted as the source of carbon footprints in the text?
A.Global warming.
B.Renewable energy.
C.The lifestyle of humans.
D.The way of human labor.

Victor Su never imagined that a life-altering health challenge would bring him back to
Northwestern University.After earning degrees in chemical and industrial engineering at
Northwestern University,he spent twenty years in consulting and finance,ultimately
working around the world-from America to Japan to the United Kingdom.
However,because of putting in long hours at his job in London,Su suffered from a
severe disease.His doctors didn't expect him to survive.But after returning to New York
City,via an air ambulance,Su overcame numerous difficulties.He gradually pulled himself
out of a tough situation.He underwent five months of treatment and learned to walk again.
He also struggled with right-side paralysis ()memory loss,and a communication
disorder that could affect his ability to talk,read,write,and understand spoken language.
After Su was discharged from the hospital,his wife.Patricia Kou,knew he would need
more treatment to keep improving.Searching online.she found a one-month intensive
program at the Northwestern University Center for Audiology.Speech,Language,and
Learning.In 2017,Kou accompanied Su to Northwestern University,where he worked five to
six hours a day with speech and language clinicians."It was a lifesaver for Su,"Kou says.
"He regained his ability to communicate at the center and continued to progress at home
through online sessions with the medical team.
"The treatment I received at Northwestern University made a huge difference in my
recovery,”Su says..“I am forever grateful..”
In gratitude for the treatment Su received,the family made a generous gift to establish
the Su Family Community Impact Fund,which would help the university expand diagnostic
and treatment services to underserved children and adults throughout the Chicago area.
"One of our top priorities is to provide high-quality clinical services,not just to those who
come to our clinic but to everybody in the community who may have trouble accessing them,"
says a professor.The gift from the Su family will also support innovative and interdisciplinary
research partnerships within the university.
24.What can we learn about Su from the first two paragraphs?
A.He fell ill on account of overworking.
B.He graduated from the United Kingdom.
C.He was believed to recover within five months.
D.He was sent from Japan to America for treatment.

These days it's quite easy to strike up a conversation with artificial intelligence (AD).Ask
some chatbots a question,and they'll even provide an engaging response verbally.You can
chat with them across multiple languages and request a reply in a particular dialect or accent.
It is now even possible to use Al-powered speech cloning tools to imitate the voices of real
humans.It raises an interesting question:Is there anything unique about the human voice to
help us distinguish it from robo-speech?
Jonathan Harrington,a professor of phonetics (and digital speech processing at
the University of Munich,Germany,has spent decades studying the complexity of how
humans talk and produce the sounds of words and accents.Even he is impressed by the
capabilities of Al-powered voice tools.But he believes there are still some important cues that
can help us to tell if we are talking to a human or an AI."To some extent,computer-
generated speech has been quite poor and not very human-like",says Harrington.
He further gives the following reasons.Listening for the emphasis words given in a
sentence can be a good trick for spotting computer-generated speech.This is because humans
use emphasis to give a sentence more meaning.Intonation-the rise and fall of the voice in
speaking across a sentence-can also change the same words from being a statement into a
question.Phrasing is also an important factor.The way a sentence is broken up can also
change its meaning.Together these elements are famous as sentence-level prosody ()
There are also moves to make deepfake detection software more readily available to
consumers.But in the unavoidable race between AI generation and Al detection,we may find
new value in something we have lost in our increasingly virtually connected world-physical
interaction.Perhaps in the search to find out if you are speaking to a human,the solution is
simple-spending more time meeting in person.
28.What does the underlined word "imitate"in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Distinguish.
B.Copy.
C.Raise.
D.Adjust.
29.What does Harrington think of human speech?
A.It is very computer-like.
B.It is poor.
C.It is made up of two elements.
D.It is expressive.
【高三英语第5页(共10页)】
26-21C
30.How can people tell Al-powered speech from human voice according to Harrington?
A.By asking questions.
B.By analyzing speech contents.
C.By changing sentence structures.
D.By identifying rhythm patterns.
31.What does the author propose doing in the last paragraph?
A.Avoiding physical interaction.
B.Interacting in the virtual world.
C.Having a face-to-face conversation.
D.Making deepfake detection software.

We have all heard how plastic pollution has overrun every corner of the world.Recently,
scientists made the surprising discovery that microplastics are increasing sharply and are even
found in the human bloodstream.
Researchers collected a large amount of data through many attempts.Recently,after
examining blood samples from 22 healthy blood donors,they found particles (of plastic
in 17 of them!Most of the microplastics were classified as polyethylene terephthalate (PET),
which is commonly found in drink bottles,and there were small amounts of polyethylene,
which makes up plastic bags.
Although the exact chemical effects of microplastics on our bodies are not determined,it
is clear that the increasing amounts of plastic in our environment could pose a risk to human
cells in the future.
Microplastics were never considered a significant threat to the atmosphere until recent
studies began to reveal just how common these tiny particles are across the skies.For
example,scientists even discovered the presence of microplastics in the Pyrenees mountain
range in Europe,a place thought to be remote and believed to have arrived by rain or snow.
The low mass of microplastics makes them particularly airborne,which is why they can
travel hundreds and even thousands of miles from their source.They are also likely to spread
through wastewater,oceans,and even soil.
Plastic particles that are being blown and swept into the air have the potential to affect air
quality and cloud formation.The undeniable concern is that an excess of microplastics in the
air can form artificial clouds that tend to stick around longer than naturally formed clouds.
With microplastics dominating the air we breathe,there is also an increasing concern that they
may affect the human lungs and respiratory (system.The new study allows us to
better understand the impacts on human health and is a reminder of the urgent need to find
other alternatives to plastic.
32.How did the scientists conduct the research?
A.Through document search.
B.Through statistical analysis.
C.Through various assumptions.
D.Through the questionnaire survey.
【高三英语第6页(共10页)】
26-21C
33.Why is the Pyrenees Mountain Range mentioned?
A.To show the universality of microplastics.
B.To study a natural phenomenon in Europe.
C.To reveal the components of microplastics.
D.To recommend a natural travel destination.
34.What is the author's tone in writing the last paragraph?
A.Indifferent.B.Alarmed.
C.Modest.
D.Humorous.
35.What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Source of Microplastics
B.The Classification of Microplastics
C.The Growing World of Microplastics
D.The Presence of Microplastics in Human Blood

Lily and her friend,Lucy,were working on a group project for their history class.The
assignment was to create a presentation about the significance of historical landmarks in their
town.They had been assigned the old tower as their project topic,a beloved symbol in their
town.Noticing some girls and boys taking photos of the town,they decided to do the same,
considering including some photos around the tower in their presentation.
On the day of the photo shoot,Lily felt particularly nervous,thinking that she might
make mistakes in front of her classmates.As she and Lucy were setting up their camera
equipment,.she accidentally knocked over a tripod(三脚s架),causing it to fall and hit a nearby
window.The glass of the window was broken.Lily and Lucy felt scared.They knew the
tower was a popular historical site,and they feared the consequences of their actions.
However,Lily knew they had to do something to fix the situation.She assessed the
damage and realized that she needed to act fast.Although Lily was not good at expressing
herself,she still gathered her courage to apologize to the manager,explaining what had
happened and apologizing sincerely.Meanwhile,Lucy admitted that she also had
responsibility for her actions.Instead of being angry,the manager was impressed by their
honesty and willingness to make up for the error.Lily and Lucy quickly bought a new piece of
the same type of glass.He accepted the new glass and even offered to help them install it.
