When I became president of Sustainable（可持续的）Spartans in May 2020, I had no idea how to successfully run a club on the Internet. My team and I were challenged with how to attract members and continue sustainable projects on campus（校园）while most students lived at home.

Despite the circumstances, my incredible team and 1 pushed forward. We organized events members could participate in regardless of location. Instead of focusing on building a more sustainable campus, we thought it was more important to get more and more students to accept sustainability.

In September, our Vermicomposting project began with the support from an online workshop. Vermicomposting is the process by which worms turn food waste and other materials into fertilizer. The workshop tied together club members and workshop students, educating and inspiring some to start their own worm bins at home.

In October, we held our first SpartansPickUp Day, co-hosted with Spartans Sierra Club. Fourteen teams of students safely picked up trash and posted pictures online. The cooperation brought some environmental student organizations together and attracted more student participation.

Our most notable accomplishment was working with the Office of Sustainability to build a pollinator（授粉者）garden on campus. The garden would improve the campus' climate by attracting pollinators, increasing biodiversity and reducing soil loss. We posted some videos of the garden, and students were expecting to return to campus to visit it.

Student organizations provide an important aspect of college life and I'm proud to say we've carried that into the digital space. Personally, I've discovered my club is an incredible outlet for me to dive into my sustainability passion and take a step back from the great stress of job search and online learning. I encourage all students to join a student organization to find how you can translate your passion into meaningful projects.

24. What made it difficult for the author to do her work?

A. Lack of her team's spiritual support. B. The absence of students on campus.

C. The existing environmental problems. D. Her inability to run sustainable projects.

25. What was the focus of Sustainable Spartans in 2020?

A. To create a safe living environment.

B. To spread the idea of sustainability.

C. To raise money for its future projects.

D. To build a clean and beautiful campus.

26. How did the author manage to carry out the projects?

A. By attracting students back to the campus.

B. By seeking financial help from authorities.

C. By working with some other organizations.

D. By gathering all students for some field trips.

27. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph?

A. Leadership is the basis of success on campus.

B. Cooperation is a quality everyone should have.

C. Participating in sustainable projects is very easy.

D. Joining student organizations really matters a lot.

Marcus Eriksen was studying plastic pollution when he met camel expert Ulrich Wernery. I hey went deep into the desert and spotted a camel skeleton（骨架）.Eriksen was not prepared for what he saw in the desert. was just appalled," he said. “Inside the camel's body was a mass as big as a medium-sized suitcase, all plastic bags. "

Wernery is a scientist working in a research lab in Dubai. Since 2008. Wernery s team has examined 30,000 dead camels. Of these, 300 had guts（胃）packed with plastic. As camels wander in the desert, they eat plastic bags and other trash that drift into trees and pile up along roadsides. "To a camel, if it s not sand, it's food," explains Eriksen.

Tightly packed masses of indigestible things can build up in the gut of people or animals. Scientists call them bezoars. Normally, these are made of vegetable fibers or hair. Wernery and Eriksen call those found in the camels “polybezoars”. It points to their origin： plastic polymers.

A bezoar can be dangerous. As it fills the stomach. an animal may stop eating. No longer feeling hungry, they might starve to death. Plastic can also release harmful chemicals. The polybezoars may even carry bacteria that can poison camels.

In a new study, Eriksen and Wernery report data suggesting that each year these polybezoars arc killing off around 1 in every 100 of camels. Of five camel bezoars analyzed for this study, the plastic content ranged from 3 to 64 kilograms. "If 1 percent mortality（死亡率）due to plastic is confirmed by future and more detailed studies, then plastic pollution will certainly represent a reason of concern for camels." says Luca Nizzetto. an environmental scientist. Such studies are important, he says, because they "raise social awareness about this pollution”.

Banning plastic bags and single-use plastics is crucial for protecting camels and other wildlife, Eriksen says. “Plastic bags are escape artists. They blow out of garbage cans, out of landfills and out of people's hands. ”What's more, he adds, “They travel for hundreds of miles.”

28. What does the underlined word “appalled” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?

A. Ashamed. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Annoyed.

29. Why do camels eat plastics according to Eriksen?

A. They mistake them for food. B. They have to survive on them.

C. They find them very delicious. D. They are surrounded by them.

30. What can be known about “polybezoars”？

A. They make camels feel hungry. B. They consist of vegetable fibers.

C. They are rare poisonous bacteria. D. They arc hard to digest for camels.

31. What does Luca Nizzetto think of camel-plastic studies?

A. They can certainly lead to the ban on plastics.

B. They can educate people on plastic pollution.

C. They are quite simple but offer enough details.'

D. They are very convincing but less inspirational.

Most of us have something about us that we’re not 100% in love with, such as an impulsive streak or a short temper. What if those personality traits（个性特征）could be improved with daily use of a smartphone app? That was the focus of a new study from an international research team led by the University of Zurich.

“Personality traits predict several important aspects of life such as success at work, health and even a long says first author Mirjam Stieger. PhD. of Brandeis University in Waltham. Massachusetts. "So we wanted to test whether people can actively shape their personality traits with the help of a digital intervention（干预）within a relatively short period of time.”

Around 1.500 participants were provided with a specially developed smartphone app called PEACH for three months. On the app. a virtual companion communicated with the participants daily and provided support to help them make the changes they desired. And participants were divided into two groups- an intervention group and a waitlist control group. Participants in the waitlist control group selected and indicated their change goals before a one-month waiting period, and then they received the same three-month intervention as the intervention group.

The researchers found that participants in the waitlist control group didn't change their personality traits duringthe one-month waiting period. but participants who received the intervention reported changes in the desired direction. "We also found that friends and family members were able to detect personality changes," Stieger says. "Another surprising finding was that most participants were able to maintain （维持）their personality trait changes until three months after the end of the intervention.

While apps could be used to promote personality change, mental health expert Karen Peters warns, it's important to remember they are there for support and not as a substitute for an individual's change. "The use of an app itself isn't going to influence change——change is influenced by internal motivation." she says. "The new study demonstrates this point by determining that change outcomes were in agreement with the individual's desire to change.”

32. Why does the author ask the question in paragraph 1?

A. To put forward a problem. B. To recommend a method.

C. To lead in the recent study. D. To come up with a new concept.

33. What were participants asked to do in the new study?

A. Set their change goals. B. Detect others' changes.

C. Help their companions. D. Get rid of daily apps.

31. What is the finding of the new study?

A. Most of the participants' personalities were unstable.

B. Digital intervention made no difference to personalities.

C. The use of an app alone could shape personality traits.

D. The participants, personality changes were noticeable.

35, What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Arc Your Personality Traits Out of Control?

B. Are You in Love With Your Personality Traits?

C. Can a Smartphone App Change Your Personality?

D. Can Digital Intervention Determine Personal Desire?

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Have you ever woken up worrying about an unfinished project, an email that you forgot to send, or a meeting which you didn't have a chance to schedule? 36 It turns out that we just need to tell our brains when we will do what we need to do so they don't annoy us.

Researchers used to think that this low-level worry about unfinished tasks was our unconscious mind trying to get things done by reminding us of what we still needed to do. 37

But recent research suggests that simply making a plan to deal with an unfinished task makes a huge difference in our ability to focus. When we don't know when or how we will finish the things on our task lists, what will happen?38This is because undone tasks impress us more. As it turns out. our unconscious mind isn't actually urging us to do an undone task right now. but rather to make a plan for when we will get it done. To handle this, you can schedule a task on your calendar. 39 It seems that our brain needs to let something go.

40 So stop worrying about an undone to-do list of things that you hope to accomplish in a given day or week. Instead. you should avoid being distracted（分散注意力）by starting each day with a concrete plan for what you will work on and when. You don't have to constantly make choices about what to concentrate on： Just follow your schedule.

A. It is more about making lists.

B. It is vital to stay focused while making plans.

C. Or you can list it as an action task or a quick task.

D. When we have no specific plans, distractions certainly take over.

E. If your answer is yes. your brain is bothered by those undone lists.

F. The belief was that the reminders wouldn't stop until the tasks were done.

G. Our thoughts will typically wander from our present task to our undone tasks.

There are a number Chinese songs people from different countries love. The song named Mom in the Candlelight is my favorite.
