A

The greening of planes, trains and automobiles

Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.

The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.

PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air.		CARS — Batteries Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge.
TRAINS — Electricity Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways.	TRUCKS — Hydrogen fuel cells Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive.		SHIPS — Liquid ammonia Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign.

This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.

 

21. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?

A. 11.6%.      B. 45.1%.         C. 74.5%.      D. 86.1%.

22. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?

A. Planes.      B. Trucks.         C. Trains.  D. Ships.

23. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?

A. Limiting fuel consumption.        B. Putting more effort into renewables.

C. Improving energy efficiency.       D. Making electricity more affordable.

B

I was 21 when I broke the world record as the youngest woman to ski solo (独自地) to the South Pole. On the hardest day, snow piled up to my knees, the wind howled like a wild beast, and the cold pierced through every layer of my clothes. My sledge (雪橇) felt heavier with each step, my muscles burning, and my breath shallow in the thin air. But I refused to stop.

Growing up in Norway, I was easily exposed to the wilderness. Stories of Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, filled me with wonder. And that was when my desire to explore nature was born. I spent hours skiing in the mountains, camping under stars, and starting campfires with frozen fingers.

At 14, I made a brave decision — to ski across Greenland. Most people doubted me. I was just under 5 feet tall and looked more like a child than an explorer. But Lars Ebbesen, a famous polar guide, saw my determination and trained me. He taught me how to fix broken equipment with frozen hands and read the sky for signs of danger. “You must be strong and smart,” be told me over and over.

To prove myself, I then went on a training trip to Finnmark, where darkness ruled and temperatures fell to -35℃. I learned to set up tents with frozen hands and sleep through winds that shook the earth. Finally I set off with Lars and it took us 28 days to cross Greenland.

Encouraged, at 15, I decided my next goal was Antarctica. My father helped me make plans. My mother, though cautious, eventually supported me. When I finally began my 1,130 km journey to the South Pole last November, I was 21. Some days, I cried behind my glasses, struggling through snowstorms, dragging my aching body forward. But I never gave up. Fifty-four days later, I reached the South Pole. I stood in silence, tears freezing on my cheeks. I sent Lars a chick emoji — at last, the “polar egg” hatched.

 

24. What inspired the author to explore nature?

A. Her desire to break a record.           B. Her love for South Pole.

C. Her mother’s encouragement.          D. Her admiration for Roald.

25. How did Lars help the author?

A. By teaching her survival skills.         B. By financing her exploration.

C. By training her to ski skillfully.         D. By convincing her parents to support her.

26. What can we learn from paragraph 4 about the author?

A. She gathered some hands-on experience.

B. She went to Finnmark accompanied by a guide.

C. She was praised for her courage by many people.

D. She met many challenges when crossing Greenland.

27. Which of the following can best describe the author?

A. Outgoing and caring. B. Ambitious and sensitive.

C. Humorous and considerate. D. Adventurous and determined.

C

When discussions are getting heated, divisions on opinions potentially lead to some awkward moments. This causes many of us to struggle with how to convince people to change their minds and how to argue our side effectively. Unfortunately, we’ve already become quite divided.

One study showed that when people receive information against their beliefs, their brains aren’t as active as when they receive information that confirms their beliefs. Humans have a well- documented bias (偏见) called the “confirmation bias”, which is a tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing views and to avoid information that disconfirms them.

Throwing data at people isn’t at all effective in changing minds and especially hearts. Instead, people just find it super annoying. Luckily, research has provided some guidance about best practices, and, not surprisingly, they all suggest what our parents have been telling us for decades: You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. In fact, it turns out that instead of citing why you are right and someone else is wrong in a heated conversation, one of the most effective strategies you can use for changing someone’s mind is to find areas where you agree.

Another thing we can do is to be open to other perspectives (观点) . We can start by acknowledging our own confirmation bias and making a conscious effort to override it. We can also try to take other people’s perspectives. And better yet — ask them for it. Ask them why they feel the way they do and what would change their mind. Be open to admitting that you could be wrong and make it easy for others to admit their own mistakes.

Finally, make new friends — friends that are different from you. Make your bias a disconfirmation bias;in other words, when you have an opinion on something, don’t just read information that confirms it. Instead, make an effort to find information that could potentially prove you wrong. If you were right all along, this exercise will only make your arguments stronger. If you were wrong, your mind will have been opened up to new ideas. Either way, this kind of open-mindedness will give you a brand-new perspective on life, and you might even make some unlikely new friends in the process.

 

28. Which can illustrate “confirmation bias”?

A. We tend to welcome different ideas.

B. We accept messages from the others.

C. We argue against points of disagreement.

D. We prefer information in line with our views

29. What does the underlined word “honey”in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Following advice. B. Sharing common ground.

C. Admitting mistakes. D. Blocking different ideas.

30. How can we benefit from our bias according to the last paragraph?

A. By letting go of our own opinion.

B. By making arguments more reliable.

C. By opening up minds to new friends.

D. By securing information opposite to ours.

31. What is the best title of the text?

A. How to negotiate with others

B. Why it’s so hard to change hearts and minds

C. How to shift minds in polarized communication
