When a hotel or motel guests check into their rooms,they expect at the very least to be
greeted with a clean space,a made-up bed and in the bathroom,soap.But what happens when
you leave that soap behind?
They typically end up in the trash,said Shawn Seipler,the founder of Clean the World,a
nonprofit founded in 2009 that recycles bar soap from over 8,000 hospitality partners.The
organization now has approximately 60 employees,but its beginning was far more humble,
with Mr.Seipler and a small group of family and acquaintances scraping used soap by hand
with potato peelers in a garage in Orlando.
I was in Minneapolis in a hotel room when I came up with the concept of Clean the World.
"What happens to the soap?"and I called the front desk to ask.And they said it was thrown
away.I had an itch of wanting to do something on my own and thinking about sustainability
and green technology as an entrepreneur.
We have the same type of machines that a soap manufacturer uses.When we get the soap,
the first thing we do is run it through what's called a plotter,and the end of it has a very fine
filter that's pushing all the soap through.And when the soap is coming out,the filter is catching
the hair,paper and all the surface stuff.We send our soap on a regular basis to a third-party lab
that does testing on it to ensure that it's clean.
If you're staying at a hotel that does not use our program,take the soap home with you,
keep it out of a landfill,use it in your homes.Unwrapped soap,can be donated to a local
homeless shelter or a local charity that you support.We'd much rather get a better life for it.
21.What is the main topic of the passage?
A.The recycling of used hotel soap.
B.The high expectations of hotel guests
C.The manufacturing process of new soap.
D.The business strategies of a successful entrepreneur.
22.What can we learn about Clean the World?
A.It's a for-profit enterprise.
B.It was operated manually initially.
C.It produces bar soap for hospitality.
D.It was started in a garage in Minneapolis
23.What's suggested to the readers on how to deal with an unwrapped soap?
A.Cast it in the trash.
B.Keep it for household use.
C.Sell it to the homeless.
D.Share it with those in need.

There are a few things you can't miss about a giraffe:that long neck and those
extraordinarily long legs.Those distinctive features help the animal tower above its nearby
companions and make grabbing a sky-high bite to eat relatively easy.But researchers were
curious if those long limbs are helpful in daily life.
For their research,scientists created 3D models of the front legs of giraffes and two
related species.They used motion capture and other techniques to measure the muscle
efficiency of walking giraffes and estimated the efficiency of the two comparable species and
also measured the forces on the ground as they walked over some force-sensing equipment.
"These data enabled us to measure muscle efficiency.says Basu.
Researchers suspected the long legs weren't as advantageous as they appeared."We have
evidence that the long limbs of giraffes bring a penalty,"Basu says."Because their limbs are so
tall,they are particularly sensitive to the forces experienced from gravity.It means their
muscles have to produce large forces to counteract and support the skeleton."
They thought that giraffes have a low "effective mechanical advantage,"which is the
measure of limb efficiency when producing muscle forces.But they were surprised by exactly
how low it was.They found it was four times lower than what was expected.This suggests that
the muscles in giraffe legs have to generate high muscle forces for movements that a smaller
animal,like a horse,can perform more effectively.
"What was also surprising is that despite the need for large muscle forces,giraffes
potentially don't use much more energy than most other large creatures to walk around,"Basu
says."But it does mean they might find it super hard to do more athletic behaviors."
Researchers say the results are important and pretty interesting."It's really cool because it
adds a new element to the popular story of giraffe evolution!"Basu says."On one hand,yes,
we're familiar with how leg and neck elongation has helped giraffes,but we now see that this
specialization does come with a cost,which in this case is athletic performance.
24.What advantage do long limbs bring to giraffes?
A.Tree-top grazing.
B.High speed running.
C.Load bearing capacity.
D.Better muscle efficiency.
25.What does the underlined word "penalty"in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Punishment.B.Disadvantage.
C.Goal.D.Threat.
26.Which of the following will Basu agree with?
A.Giraffes have high limb efficiency.
B.Long limbs don't make giraffes athletic.
C.Evolution brings giraffes more good than bad.
D.The popular story of giraffe evolution is totally wrong.
27.What can be learned from the passage?
A.Giraffes consume significantly more energy for walking than other large animals.
B.The long limbs do not affect giraffes'ability to perform athletic behaviors.
C.The specialization of long limbs brings both benefits and costs.
D.Long legs are entirely disadvantageous.

Benny Kuriakose remembers when his father built the first house in his village with a
concrete roof.It was becoming a"status symbol"among villagers.But inside,the house was
baking.The solid concrete absorbed heat throughout the day and radiated it inside at night.
Meanwhile,neighboring thatch-roofed houses stayed cool.
In the climate change era,that sameness is looking like a mistake.Spiking energy demand
for cooling has helped trigger daily blackouts(灯火管制)in cities,and what air-conditioning
units are running are belching hot air into streets,worsening the urban heat island effect.As
such heatwaves become increasingly common and long-lasting,experts say India's modern
building stock will make it harder for Indians to adapt.
The architecture of Indian cities began to change rapidly in the 1990s,when the country
transitioned to a market-based economy.Western or globalized styles became the norm.The
shift was partly aesthetic;developers favored the glassy skyscrapers and straight lines deemed
prestigious in the U.S.or Europe.Economic considerations also played a role.As land became
more expensive in cities,there was pressure to expand floorspace by eliminating thick walls
and courty ards.And it was faster and easier to throw up tall structures using steel and concrete,
rather than use traditional earth blocks which are suited to lower-rise structures.
It wouldn't be practicable to replace all the modern materials used in India's buildings
with vernacular counterparts(当地的材料),Vishwanath says..Though technological advances
are making it possible to build larger,multi-storey buildings with earth,it wouldn't work in a
skyscraper.And some traditional features,like sloping roofs and detailed window shades are
too expensive for many people to consider when building their homes.Perhaps most
importantly:in cities,the high cost of land makes it extremely difficult to find space for
verandas(阳台)and courtyards(庭院).
Pandya,the Ahmedabad architect,puts it another way."Sustainability is not a
formula-what works in Europe might not work here,"he says."Like a doctor,you have to
understand the patient,the symptoms,the conditions-before you arrive at the cure.
28.Why does the author mention Benny Kuriakose's story in the first paragraph?
A.To illustrate the superior cooling effect of thatched roofs.
B.To introduce the problem of modern building materials.
C.To show that concrete roofs were a symbol of wealth.
D.To describe the architectural style of his village.
29.Which is a consequence of the widespread use of modern building styles in Indian cities?
A.More energy demand.
B.Reduced urban heat island effect.
C.The decline of aesthetic appeal of cities.
D.Significantly increased construction cost.
30.What is the main challenge of reviving traditional architectural features in modern Indian
cities?
A.Lack of skilled craftsmen.
B.Public disapproval of old styles.
C.Outdated building technologies.
D.High economic and spatial costs.
31.What does Pandya's words convey to us?
A.What is suitable is the best.
B.When in Rome,do as the Romans.
C.The fashionable is always the best.
D.One man's meat is another man's poison.
D
A well-intentioned but disastrous solution is often offered to climate-conscious consumers:
to substitute beef on our plates with chicken.While on paper this brings down an individual's
dietary carbon footprint,in practice,this would mean billions more animals will be killed each
year while even more factory farms continue to harm the climate and all of us in the process.
It's true that per gram of protein,conventional beef has almost 10 times the carbon
footprint of chicken.Beef uses 23 times as much farmland and three times as much water.
But the consumption shift from beef to chicken is contributing to a crisis of another kind.
Approximately 134 chickens must be killed to produce one cows'worth of meat,which is
extremely inhumane and environmentally disastrous,causing dead zones and having
devastating ripple effects on the communities living near these facilities whose health,water
supply,and quality of life are affected by this pollution.
The most impactful dietary change we can make to reduce our individual impact on
animals and the environment is actually to shift from conventionally produced,factory-farmed
animal products to smaller amounts of pasture-based meat,eggs,or dairy and more plant-based
protein sources.It's not all-or-nothing.The average American could cut their diet-related
environmental impacts by nearly half just by eating less meat,eggs,and dairy.
Gradually,individual changes can add up to a big difference for both animals and the
environment,but with global demand for animal products rising and food insecurity increasing,
the onus(责任)cannot be on individuals alone.Federal livestock subsidies(补助金)have
made conventional animal agriculture unnaturally cheap.Taxpayer subsidies for chicken feed
have artificially driven their prices down,further driving down chicken production cost by at
least 13%.We urgently need our government to stop propping up this disastrous system and
redirect support to more humane,sustainable food and production methods.
To spare animals from suffering,stave off climate change,and safeguard our food system,
we need to take factory farming off the table.It's time to stop leaping from the frying pan to the
fire and rethink our food system.
32.How does the author argue his point in Paragraph 2?
A.By citing papers.
B.By doing surveys
C.By making examples.
D.By using persuasive data.
33.What is suggested to solve the problem?
A.Keeping to factory farming.
B.Switching beef to chicken.
C.Stopping the consumption of meat.
D.Eating more planted-based protein.
34.What's the author's attitude towards Federal livestock subsides?
A.Ambiguous.
B.Supportive.C.Critical.
D.Indifferent.
35.What does the phrase "leaping from the frying pan to the fire"probably mean?
A.Escaping one problem only to enter a worse one.
B.Adopting a more efficient cooking method.
C.Making a difficult but necessary transition.
D.Taking a bold step towards a solution.

Yes,You Can Do Yoga at Home
Many of us have been married to stress for a very long time.It clings to us at work,it
swirls around us as we manage personal matters,and it even crawls into bed with us and steals
nights of restful sleep.If we truly want to preserve our mental and physical health,we can
become self-care heroes.36Yes,it can sometimes test your patience,and you
might not be able to touch the floor during that first-or 15th session.But the beauty of it is
if you keep at it,you'll eventually overcome stress.
The key to a successful home yoga practice?Listen to your body
It's natural to want to nail every yoga pose or imitate the movements of instructors or
social media influencers.37 Before you even get on your mat,tell yourself this,
"My practice is unique like me and that is perfectly fine."Why?Because pushing yourself to
do what everyone else is doing could lead to frustration-or injury.
38
Pre-pandemic,you could attend a few yoga classes to discover the styles that suit you.
Many studios have adjusted to accommodate social distancing protocols now.If you don't have
the option to drop in or you're not quite ready for group classes,you can still explore the yoga
world virtually.Get online and research different styles before you start your home practice.
Once you have a better understanding,you can check out virtual classes.Start off with sessions
that were developed for beginners.And don't be afraid to try videos from different instructors.
39
You can go your own way
When you're first getting started with your home yoga practice,there's nothing wrong
with following along with an app or a video.But you have the option to create a more personal
practice.You don't have to do a 30-or 60-minute flow-based session every time.You can do a
couple of yoga poses and meditate,you can stretch do and breath work or you can meditate the
entire time.40
A.Fight that urge to do so.
B.That's what yoga is about.
C.Do your homework before you start
D.The ultimate goal is to create a practice that serves you.
E.Establishing a home yoga practice is a great way to keep you healthy.
F.This will allow you to experience different teaching styles and find the right one.
G.Just pick a quiet place in your home and focus on yourself for as long as you need.

task-something that 48 my artistic side and made use of my scientific training.
It was exciting to find a career that 49 on my diverse skill set and would allow me
to work as a freelancer(自由职业者)from wherever my partner got a job.I did feel a sense
of 50 as I began to let go of my dream of becoming a faculty member in chemistry.But it

early projects,which required me to 53 understand the research,convinced me that my
54 was a crucial part of this job.

researchers to communicate their discovery visually.Though I can't in good conscience
recommend my long and winding path to this career,I wouldn't 55 a thing about the

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was moving as fast as I could,stepping cautiously from rock to rock along the uneven
jetty().Far ahead,I could see the back of my brother's sandy hair and the bright orange
of his shorts.
"Too slow,sister!"I heard Sam yell as he hopped with ease.
"I'll show him,"I thought,and attempted a double jump.What a mistake!My left foot
came down hard between the edges of two gray rocks.scraping my ankle."Ouch!"I yelled.
I tried to wiggle(my foot out,but my shoe was stuck.I bent closer to the rock and that'
s when I saw it:a shiny,square shaped stone the color of water,attached to a glittery gold chain.
It was just lying there on the wet sand,and a few seconds later it was in my pocket.
Sam squinted(眯着眼睛看)in the sun..Could he tell I was hiding the most perfect
discovery of the summer?I kept turning the treasure around in my pocket,pushing each corner
of the square stone into my finger.I was dizzy,but I didn't want Sam to notice.He liked to
tell everybody my business.
"Ryan saved the mini cola bottle from the carnival!It happened to be perfect for sand art!
"Ryan wasted her allowance on salt and pepper shakers from the yard sale!"They were antique
little pig and cost only 50 cents.
My family calls me their"little collector.Some mean kids at school call me "trash girl".
Sam and I walked along the main street,the small buildings giving us a break from the sun.
Through the window of the candy shop,I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans.A sign on
the window's glass read LOST:Gold and blue necklace.Very special.If found,call Chrissy
at555-9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster.The
necklace looked different from the one I clutched in my pocket,I decided.Rounder,bluer.
The poster appeared old and weathered.It must have been put up months ago.We
continued to walk,and I noticed four more posters.Someone must have returned that
necklace by now,I thought.
