Fr sharks, the Mesamerican Reef, which stretches ver 600 miles, is a busy highway. Sharks use it t find their way and it prvides them with fd and habitat.
But as with n-land highways, this superhighway can be dangerus. Overfishing, cmmercial develpment and illegal practices are endangering the species. “We’re seeing a cntinued decline in shark ppulatins. Our gal is t turn that rund.” says Rachel Graham, funder f Mar Alliance, a nn-prfit rganizatin fcused n cnserving sharks.
By mnitring sharks, Mar Alliance can cllect imprtant knwledge n the species t help infrm cnservatin and push fr plitical actin. But rather than acting in ppsitin t the lcal fishing cmmunity, MarAlliance enlists their help.
“They are the nes wh are n the sea every single day,” says Graham, “and they’re the nes wh decide the species’ future.”
MarAlliance emplys up t 60 fishermen acrss its range, mstly n a prject basis, training them t cllect data, recrd and release fish. Nt nly des this prvide an alternative incme t fishing cmmunities, making them less dependent n natural resurces, but it als teaches them abut the benefits f a healthy cean ecsystem and hw t fish sustainably.
Amng them, Ivan Trres, wh used t catch sharks t sell lcally as fd, has learned hw critical they’re t the whle ecsystem, saying he’d never fish sharks any mre.
If this attitude change cntinues t spread thrughut fishing cmmunities, Graham has hpe fr the shark ppulatins. “The primary threat t sharks is unquestinably verfishing,” she says, “By refrming the industry, ppulatins can bunce back.”
In 2020, Belize utlawed the use f gillnets, large panels f netting f trapping large sealife. The ban’s impact is already nticeable with a recrded 10-fld increase in shark ppulatins.
But such regulatins need t be cpied alng the whle superhighway fr lng-lasting impact, and cuntries need t find a sustainable balance between fishers and the fished. “We need t find a win-win strategy between fisher livelihds and shark survival,” Graham emphasizes. “I hpe that thrugh educatin and prviding an ecnmic alternative fr fishing cmmunities, MarAlliance will help ensure safe passage fr sharks alng the reef”.
24．Which f the fllwing best describes the Mesamerican Reef fr sharks?
A．Rmantic but messy.B．Vital but insecure.C．Adventurus but beautiful.D．Unfamiliar but reliable.
25．What des the underlined “they” in paragraph 4 refer t?
A．MarAlliance.B．The fishers.C．Mnitring authrities.D．The sharks.
26．What cntributed t Ivan’s attitude shift apart frm educatin?
A．A stricter fishing ban.B．The insurance payut he earned.
C．An ffer f extra wrk.D．The fishing cmmunities’ interventin.
27．What is mainly stressed in the last paragraph?
A．Slutin t verfishing.B．Difficulties facing MarAlliance.
C．Impact f existing regulatins.D．Features f internatinal cperatin.

Jimmy Jiang envisins a future where every huse is pwered by renewable energy stred in batteries.
Jiang and his team at the University f Cincinnati have develped a new battery that culd have far-reaching implicatins fr the large-scale （大规模） energy strage needed by wind and slar farms.
“Batteries stre renewable energy fr when it’s needed, nt just when it’s prduced. This is crucial fr getting the mst ut f wind and slar pwer,” Jiang said. “Energy generatin and energy cnsumptin is always mismatched. That’s why it’s imprtant t have a device that can stre that energy temprarily and release it when it’s needed.”
They described their nvel design in the jurnal Nature Cmmunicatins.
Traditinal car batteries cntain a mix f sulfuric acid and water. While they’re inexpensive and made frm readily available materials, they have severe drawbacks fr industrial r large-scale use. They have a very lw energy density （密度）, which isn’t suitable fr string sufficient pwer needed t pwer a city. And they have a lw level fr electrchemical stability, which means they can blw up.
Water has a vltage （电压） limit. Once the vltage f such a battery ges beynd the stability windw f 1.5 vlts, the water can decmpse int hydrgen and xygen, which is explsive.
But Jiang and his students have develped a battery withut water that can generate nearly 4 vlts f pwer. Jiang’s nvel design des s by remving frm a battery the membrane, which is a huge cmpnent f upfrnt csts and accunts fr as much as 30% f the cst f the battery. They invented a new type f energy strage material that imprves perfrmance at a lwer cst. “Membranes are als inefficient. They can’t separate the psitive and negative sides cmpletely, s there is always crssver,” he said.
The grup has submitted temprary patent applicatins. “There is still a lng way t g, but we’re advancing tward a dramatic battery transfrmatin in the next decade. I’m cnfident abut that. There is a lt f intense research ging int pushing the bundaries f battery perfrmance,” Jiang said.
28．What’s mainly talked abut in paragraph 3?
A．Why batteries are essential.B．Hw t stre renewable energy.
C．Why green energy is needed.D．Hw t cnserve natural resurces.
29．What’s the prblem with traditinal car batteries?
A．They’re t pricy.B．They’re made f rare materials.
C．They’re slw t charge.D．They have a ptential explsin risk.
30．What can we say abut Jiang’s nvel design?
A．It may reshape the battery industry.B．It’s inapprpriate fr large-scale use.
C．It may help minimize pwer cnsumptin.D．It’s subject t mature industry standards.
31．What is Jiang’s attitude twards the prspect f the battery?
A．Dismissive.B．Uncertain.C．Psitive.D．Pessimistic.

Imagine being an Olympic racer. Befre stepping nt the track, yu have t decide which pair f shes t wear: One made frm sustainable materials r a traditinally built mdel? If yu’re like mst peple, yu’d pt fr the nn-sustainable versin. Cnsumer behavir research indicates sustainable prducts are ften assumed t be weaker, less durable and perfrm wrse than nn-sustainable nes.
But are there instances in which sustainability is nt a liability? T investigate this, researchers cnducted a series f studies. They therized that under sme circumstances, sustainability may prvide a hal effect, meaning that being perceived as sustainable als leads cnsumers t assume ther psitive characteristics abut them as well.
In the first study, 595 participants were asked t make judgments abut several husehld prducts like washing pwder. The results suggest ne’s values d play a rle: Peple with higher envirnmental values viewed sustainable prducts as als being higher-perfrming, thus lending supprt fr the hal effect thery.
The secnd experiment lked specifically at the effect f messaging, testing t see whether fcusing the sustainability claims n the cmpany, as ppsed t the prduct, wuld be mre effective in driving participants’ belief in prduct perfrmance. 270 participants were asked. The results suggest that assciating sustainability with the cmpany has a much larger impact than messaging abut prduct sustainability.
Study 3 sught t further expand these mechanisms by examining the influence f scietal impact. 148 participants wh saw varius advertisements fr prducts either described as having a “sustainable benefit” r “scietal benefit” were mre likely t see the prducts as being f higher perfrmance if they were presented as psitively impacting sciety, abve and beynd merely being sustainable, supprting the idea that the hal effect is driven by the belief f the cmpany as a mral agent engaged in scially beneficial behavir.
Cntrary t previus thinking, this research illustrates that sustainability claims can prduce psitive belief abut prduct perfrmance in the abve cnditins. Like the track star, cnsumers ften feel sustainability and perfrmance exclude each ther. When the brand （品牌） presents it just the right way, there desn’t need t be a trade-ff. These can be ne and the same.
32．What des the underlined wrd “liability” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Pririty.B．Secret.C．Drag.D．Target.
33．Prduct sustainability prduces a psitive hal effect when sustainability claims
A．highlight the prductB．are aimed t generate prfits
C．cntrast with cnsumers’ valuesD．are made abut the cmpany itself
34．On what basis did the researchers reach the study utcme?
A．Previus experience.B．Sales statistics.C．Respndents’ pinins.D．Scial phenmenn.
35．Which is the best title fr the text?
A．Hw Green Prducts Benefit Cnsumers
B．Hw Cnsumers View Cmpany Culture
C．Hw Sustainability Claims Impact Prduct Quality
D．Hw Psychlgy Helps the Belief in Green Prducts
