Apple n Wednesday launched a self-service repair prgram that wuld allw its custmers t purchase Apple made cmpnents t replace wrn-ut r brken parts. The service will be first available in the US early next year fr the iPhne 12 and iPhne 13 ranges, enabling custmers t repair their screens, batteries and cameras at hme. The service will be extended t ther markets thrughut 2022 and cver Mac cmputers with MI chips.
The U-turn is abrupt. As recently as last mnth, Apple was fighting a sharehlder prpsal in supprt f right t repair. The iPhne maker said its wn experts were best placed t service its prducts. The latest mve, thugh, cmes after an executive rder frm the Biden administratin in July, directing the FTC (联邦贸易委员会) t address “unfair anti-cmpetitive restrictins n third-party repair r self-repair f items".
Apple has lng been criticized by cnsumer prtectin bdies fr fiercely guarding its mnply n the repair prcess, which has becme s strict that iPhnes fail t functin prperly even if tw identical mdels have their parts swapped. Cnsumers have been frced t pay fr “fficial" repairs at Apple stres whse csts can be s high that many cnsumers wuld rather buy a new device altgether.
Right-t-repair advcates say that when a cnsumer replaces a brken mdel, it serves Apple's bttm line but taxes the envirnment, s this step is likely t be widely welcmed. "Still, there is a risk that Apple is trying t increase the cst f spare parts by freezing ut third-party manufacturer," said Vallauri, a right-t-repair advcate. "Regulatin needs t frce manufacturers t make prducts that are easier t repair at an afrdable price s devices can be in use fr a lnger time, limiting the envirnmental impact."
24. What can be inferred frm paragraph 2?
A. Apple adpted the prpsal made by its sharehlder after careful cnsideratin.
B. Apple is pressured int easing restrictins n independent repair shps.
C. Apple has always been a firm supprter f custmers' right t repair.
D. Apple has its grwth restricted deliberately due t its enrmus prfits.
25. The underlined wrd "mnply" in paragraph 3 is clsest in meaning t
A. cmplete cntrl B. huge interests
C. massive influence D. tight security
26. Which f the fllwing might be a cnsequence f Apple's plicy U-turn?
A. The cst f fixing iPhnes and iMacs will rise.
B. Their prducts will lse favr with envirnmentalists.
C. The life cycle f cnsumer electrnics will be extended.
D. The cmpetitin in iPhne parts market will be less intense.
27. What is Vallauri's attitude twards Apple's new mve?
A. Favrable. B. Enthusiastic. C. Skeptical. D. Cautius.

Metaphrically speaking, the vast trpical rainfrest in Suth America's Amazn River basin is ften called the "lungs f the planet”. Sme peple claim that the Amazn Rainfrest alne is respnsible fr 20 percent f Earth's xygen, but is this really true? As the regin experiences mre fires in 2019 than it has seen in almst a decade, sme peple are wndering what wuld happen t Earth's xygen supply if the whle f the Amazn were t burn away. Wuld Earth actually lse 20 percent f its xygen, r are there ther unexpected cnsequences that wuld await us instead?
Relatinships between trpical frests and xygen are cmplicated. Grwing plants prduce xygen, and trpical rainfrests are huge cntributrs, but dead and rtting plants—as well as burning plants—cnsume xygen t release carbn dixide as a by-prduct during decmpsitin and cmbustin (燃烧). Often the rati between a plant prducing xygen in life and cnsuming xygen in death is 1:1, s many atmspheric scientists dn't see the Amazn, r even Earth's frests as a whle as net xygen prducers, because all plants die sner r later.
Instead, Earth's xygen mainly cmes frm marine algae (海藻). Marine algae blm in the ceans, sitting n the surface and taking advantage f the nutrients that are stirred up in seawater and pulling in carbn dixide frm the atmsphere. While algae live, they use carbn dixide t grw, and they release xygen int the atmsphere. Hwever, when they die, algae d nt decmpse n the cean surface, s they d nt draw frm the atmsphere the same amunt f xygen that they prduce in life. Instead, algae sink. Sme dead algae cnsume xygen disslved in seawater and largely r cmpletely decmpse as they sink, releasing the carbn stred in their bdies int the water. Hwever, thers sink deep enugh fast enugh that they fall belw the cean's xygenated layers befre they decmpse in earnest. They land n the cean flr almst cmpletely, s the carbn in their bdies stays put. Over millins f years, this prcess results in a net xygen gain in Earth's atmsphere. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
Burning the Amazn wn't have a significant effect n xygen levels, but it is warned that burning will add enrmus amunts f carbn dixide t the atmsphere, which will further strengthen glbal warming and prduce mre severe climate changes. And there are ther very serius lng-term cnsequences t destrying Earth's mst bidiverse regin.
28. Why des the writer mentin "unexpected cnsequences" in paragraph 1?
A. T cnvince the readers f tpical frests' imprtance.
B. T infrm the readers f ther discveries abut trpical frests.
C. T argue against the "lungs f the planet" metaphr.
D. TO present a mre balanced view n the imprtance f trpical frests.
29. Why wn't the destructin f Amazn have much effect n the planet's xygen level?
A. The xygen cnsumed by the dying plants cancels ut what they prduce in life.
B. The plants in Ama2n Rainfrest tend t disappear befre they are fully grwn.
C. Trpical frests have a cmplex relatinship with xygen generatin.
D. Carbn dixide is nly a by-prduct f the prcess f decmpsitin.
30. What makes marine algae a net xygen cntributr as a whle?
A. That marine algae prduce mre xygen than plants.
B. That sme dead marine algae dn't break dwn.
C. That marine algae spread fast in the cean.
D. That sme dead marine algae dn't reach the cean bttm.
31. What can be anther useful feature in sme marine algae's death?
A. Mineral accumulatin. B. Carbn fixatin.
C. Water purificatin. D. Marine nutritin.

“A nvel, like a letter shuld be lse, cver much grund, run swiftly, take risk f mrality and decay," Saul Bellw nce wrte. Like many nvelists, in his spare time the authr f The Adventures f Augie March was als an enthusiastic letter writer
A selectin f Bellw's huge crrespndence, reprduced in a recent issue f the New Yrker, prvides a fascinating insight int the writer's character. Witty, ften brief and almst always entertaining, Bellw's letters are a reminder f why writers' letters ften prve s ppular with readers. At their best, literary letters have smething fr everyne: general readers get a glimpse f hw authrs write when freed frm the expectatin t prduce a wrk f cnventinal literary wrth, and schlars get enugh schlarly writings.
All this is well and gd—except fr ne small prblem: nbdy writes letters anymre, at least nt the kind f intellectual, humrus letters that distinguish great crrespndence. As we are s ften tld, we live in the digital age. Like the rest f us, authrs nw largely crrespnd with their agents, friends, and ccasinally, fans thrugh email, nt “snail mail".
As literary vehicles, emails are severely lacking. Digital messages tend t alternate between the deathly dull and frmal and the casually daring cmplete with BTW, LOLs and unclear text—speak with little middle grund. Letters can be revealing, friendly, humrus; emails, even at their best, tend t exhibit nly ne f these characteristics f gd writing.
Future literary archivists (档案管理员) will need t be digital experts, hacking thrugh hard drives and email accunts, mbile phnes, in their attempts t fully dcument the lives and thughts f their subjects. But wh amng us has all their email crrespndence frm the past five years, let alne a lifetime? Hardware is dispsed (废弃) f and frgtten abut; mbile phnes are replaced every few years. The idea that we can cnstruct a cmplete recrd f a writer has always been unrealistic, but technlgical advances have made it physically impssible, t. With s much material digitalized, and ften wiped, writers will n lnger leave behind bxes suffered with letters, ripe fr investigatin and pssible publicatin. 江苏省海安高级中学 景苏华 QQ:771515126
Back in 1898, the New Yrk Times named the lng-dead Lrd Byrn the greatest letter writer in the English language, celebrating his letters' humr, the frce and spirit f their substance, the grace and purity f their style. Saul Bellw's letters might nt be remembered quite s fndly 70 years frm nw, but chances are that, by then, the entire genre f cllected writers' letters will have disappeared cmpletely—leaving readers significantly prer fr their lss.
32. Authrs' letters are ften ppular with readers prbably because ______.
A. well-knwn magazines like New Yrker chse t publish them
B. authrs write them with a specific audience in mind
C. nt nly are they schlarly, but they are als funny
D. readers can gain an insight int hw the classics are created
33. Accrding t paragraphs 3 and 4, ne advantage f email ver traditinal letters is that _____.
A. email exhibits characteristics f gd writing
B. email reaches its receivers much faster
C. email is full f variatin alternating between "frmal" and "casual"
D. email cnveys clear messages with little ambiguus middle grund
34. Why des the authr mentin future archivists wrk?
A. T illustrate that technlgical advances can cntribute t greater literary lss.
B. T aruse readers' interest in hw digital prperty will be treated in the future.
C. T pint ut that it is impssible t dcument the life experience f a writer.
D. T warn that there will be n writers' letters left fr research.
35. Which f the fllwing can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Explring Literature thrugh Letters
B. Well-Written "Letters": Saul Bellw Shws Us Hw
C. The Dying Art f Letter Writing
D. The Pwer f a Letter in the Digital Age

Mind-wandering can help bst ur md
Prir research suggests a wandering mind is an unhappy mind: We tend t be less happy when we're nt fcused n what we're ding That's likely true. 36 Fr example, as ne 2013 study shwed, when peple fund their wandering thughts mre interesting, their mds actually imprved while mind-wandering. Similarly, ther studies have fund that thinking abut peple yu lve r thinking mre abut yur ptential future than abut what happened in the past prduces psitive results.
Hw yu use mind-wandering may als be imprtant. 37 It has been mstly unexplred in previus research, but likely has distinct effects. As ne 2017 study fund, peple wh use daydreaming fr self-reflectin typically have mre pleasant thughts than peple wh simply think abut unpleasant experiences.
There is even sme evidence that mind-wandering may be mre f an antidte (缓解方法) t depressin than a cause. Peple wh are depressed may simply replay events frm their past t better understand what happened t cause their dark md and avid future prblems. Als, when researchers studied whether a negative md preceded r allwed a mind-wandering episde, they fund pr mds led t mre mind-wandering but nt vice versa. 38
Nw, findings frm a 2021 study suggest that mind-wandering that is mre feely mving can actually imprve yur md. In this study, participants were prmpted randmly via cell phne ver three days t reprt hw they were feeling and hw much their thughts were freely mving and related t what they were ding. After analyzing the data, the researchers fund that when peple's thughts were f-task, they generally felt mre negative—similar t what earlier findings shwed. 39 “Our findings suggest there might be psitive aspects f mind-wandering," the researchers cnclude.
40 If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind mve freely, I dn’t get depressed. On the cntrary, I'm happier because f it.
A. In sme cases, peple intentinally mind-wander.
B. Mind-wandering is part f ur human inheritance.
C. Again, I find that science supprts my wn experience.
D. There may be a right and a wrng way t mind-wander.
E. But if their thughts were free -mving, it had the ppsite effect.
F. In fact, the cntent f wandering thughts makes a big difference.
G It suggests that mind-wandering may be helping peple feel better.
