Mst glitter(小发光物品), which is made up f tiny pieces f plastic, is a huge danger t the envirnment. “Everyne talks abut the muntain f plastic flating in the cean. Yu can grab empty bttles frm the water, but with tiny pieces, it's impssible,” says Victr Alvarez, a chemical engineer wh sells an ec-friendly alternative t glitter.
In the early 2,000s, Alvarez wrked fr Mercedes-Benz in Germany, where he became fnd f any technlgy that prtected the envirnment. A few years after leaving Mercedes-Benz, he funded Blue Sun Internatinal in Miami, which makes specialty ingredients fr the skin and hair care industries.
Glitter is a ppular ingredient in csmetics, such as eye shadws and lipsticks. S Alvarez began researching an alternative that didn't cntain plastic t make his prducts safer fr the envirnment. That's when he came acrss Rnald Brittn Ltd., a cmpany which had develped a plastic-free, bidegradable prduct called Biglitter. It is made frm regenerative cellulse(纤维素) surced frm hardwds, primarily eucalyptus(桉树). Alvarez wrked with the cmpany t becme the first retailer t sell Biglitter in America. In 2018, he frmed Tday Glitter in rder t sell the bidegradable glitter directly t cnsumers thrugh its website.
Tday Glitter sells tw kinds f bidegradable glitter Biglitter rkle and Biglitter Pure. Bth are almst plastic-free and can bidegrade in a shrt time. Meanwhile, they are as shiny as regular glitter. All these prducts are third-party tested by TÜV, an internatinal rganizatin that prvides testing and certificatin fr cmpstable ( 可 降 解 的 ) and bidegradable prducts.
Despite its benefits, the hardwds needed t make bidegradable glitter cause it t cst abut twice as much as cnventinal glitter. A small glass cntainer that cntains just 6 grams f Biglitter csts $10, while the same amunt f regular glitter culd cst at least half that amunt .Alvarez expects the price will cme dwn ver time. He als expects the cmpany's sales t crss $1 millin next year. But mre imprtantly, Alvarez says, his main gal is t effect a meaningful change.
24. While at Mercedes Benz, Alvarez .
A. develped a way t grab glitter in the sea B. became interested in the envirnment
C. attempted t live a plastic-free life D. created a kind f harmless glitter
25. What d we knw abut Biglitter?
A. It is a plastic-free ingredient fr eye shadws.
B. It will sn be n sale in the American market.
C. It is very difficult t break dwn in the wild.
D. It was invented by Blue Sun Internatinal.
26. Why des the authr mentin TÜV in the text?
A. T shw Biglitter rkle and Biglitter Pure are ppular.
B. T stress it prvides a brad range f testing services.
C. T prve Tday Glitter's prducts are ec-friendly.
D. T explain many plastic prducts are lw-quality.
27. What is the prblem faced by Tday Glitter at present?
A. The cmplex prcess f making glitter. B. Hw t expand its verseas market.

It's a knwn fact that emissins frm gas-pwered vehicles are harming the atmsphere. In respnse t this, Prsche, the German sprts car brand, began a pilt prgram f prducing e-fuels in Chile last year. Currently, e-fuels will be used nly in sprts cars at Prsche's perfrmance and experience centers.
E-fuels are made by passing electricity thrugh water. The electricity separates the hydrgen and xygen mlecules. The hydrgen is then mixed with CO2 t prduce liquid e-fuels. E-fuels can be prduced using many renewable energy surces, such as slar energy and wind. They fllw the chemical structure f gasline, making it pssible fr gas-pwered cars t run n e-fuels with little t n mdificatin.
E-Fuels are prepnderant(占优势的) ver gas. E-fuels can help ease the change away frm gas-pwered cars, fr thse wh may nt be able t affrd electric vehicles(EVs). They will als help t reduce waste by keeping gas-pwered cars in service. Additinally, the use f e-fuels will nt require new infrastructure t be built unlike EVs.
Existing gas statins and cars will be able t stay in use, which is already a big saving. Hwever, pinins differ n whether e-fuels are truly ec-friendly. E-fuels are widely said t be nearly carbn neutral, althugh an independent study indicates that e-fuels release the same amunt f CO2 as gasline. Since e-fuels are still being develped and tested, their true impacts are still unknwn.
E-fuels are very expensive t prduce, partly due t energy lss during prductin. Unfrtunately, nly abut 50% f the energy used in prducing e-fuels is actually transfrmed int fuels. Additinally, nly abut 16% f the energy used in e-fuel prductin is actually used t pwer the car.
Even thugh the use f e-fuels will keep existing infrastructure, it will still take time and mney t include it in everyday life. Currently the price f c-fuels is nearly duble the cst f regular fuels. Thugh pinin is divided n e-fuels, with mre testing and develpment, they have been cnsidered as anther way t help fight against the climate crisis by many researchers.
28. What can we learn abut e-fuels?
A. They were tested in Germany at first.
B. They are applicable t gas-pwered cars.
C. They were prduced relying n slar energy.
D. They need t be mixed with CO2 in actual use.
29. What's paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A. E-fuels are greater than gas. B. E-fuels are rich in gas.
C. E-fuels are dependent n gas. D. E-fuels are equal t gas.
30. What d the figures in paragraph 5 mainly indicate?
A. EVs have enjyed much ppularity.
B. The cst f e-fuels will g dwn gradually.
C. There are many difficulties in advertising e-fuels.
D. The efficiency f e-fuels is lwer in pwering cars.
31. What is the authr's attitude twards e-fuels?
A. Psitive. B. Scared. C. Objective. D. Dubtful.
D
Tnal languages use pitch(音调) t distinguish wrds that therwise might sund the same. In Mandarin, fr instance, mă means hrse whereas mã means mther. Nntnal languages like nish smetimes include pitch changes t suggest emtin, fr example, but nt t change a wrd's meaning.
As a Mandarin speaker and musician, Jingxuan Liu wndered abut the crssver(融合)between language and music. While studying at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities f nearly half a millin peple frm 203 cuntries. Her clleagues had launched an nline game in which participants cmpleted several musical tasks, including identifying matching meldies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit sngs' rhythms.
On average, native speakers f the 19 represented tnal languages were better at the meldy task cmpared with speakers f 29 nntnal languages. And the effect wasn't small a tnal first language strengthened meldic understanding by abut half the amunt that music lessns did, which was als surveyed. But tnal languages speakers tended t be wrse at the rhythm task.
Humans must be chsy abut what they pay attentin t. Pitch patterns are quite imprtant in tnal languages, which might explain the balancing act in music. “Yu’ve gt a finite resurce f attentin, and yu've gt t divide up that smehw,” says study cauthr Curtney Hiltn, a scientist at the University f Auckland in New Zealand.
Prir research n language and music ften cmpared just tw tngues, usually English and Mandarin. But ther cultural influences, such as Eastern and Western music styles, culd have affected results. By examining a wide range f peple, the new study included languages never estimated in this way and reached mre generalizable cnclusin.
“Our result here is shwing that the language smene speaks which is an imprtant part f culture ——als shapes cgnitin,” Hiltn says.
32. Why did Liu's clleagues launch the nline game?
A. T attract mre students t d the research.
B. T learn abut different peple's musical abilities.
C. T cnfirm the rle f music in peple's language learning.
D. T find the difference between tnal languages and nntnal nes.
33. What were native speakers f tnal languages better at than thse f nntnal languages?
A. Finding beat tracks. B. Suggesting emtin.
C. Distinguishing wrd meanings. D. Figuring ut matching meldies.
34. What des the underlined wrd “finite” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Valued. B. Limited. C. Special. D. Ptential.
35. Which f the fllwing wrds can best describe Liu's study?
A. Grund-breaking. B. Brain-washing. C. Inefficient. D. Unreliable.

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。
It was my very first trip t Africa. We were driving alng a track that skirted the suthern bank f the Chbe River, when my friend suddenly nticed smething up ahead ——a large shape jammed in-between a cuple f big trees, right beside the rad. We edged the car clser and, t ur surprise, fund urselves lking at a yung calf snuggled (偎依) up against a sizeable elephant (mst prbably its mther).
Our dilemma nw was this: Was it OK t just drive slwly past the pair f elephants n that narrw track? Or wuld that cause the mther t becme upset and charge, in which case we shuld either wait fr them t mve n r turn the car arund? A bit unnerved by the clse encunter, we chse t head back the way we'd cme.
In the fllwing days, I had a number f cnversatins with natinal park staff and fellw travelers abut what t d when yu suddenly cme acrss an elephant while driving in the African wilds.
Smetimes peple tld me it wuld be OK t slwly drive past the mther and calf, because the wild animals f Chbe have becme pretty used t humans in cars. Elephants seldm pse a threat t us. S there's n need t adpt an attitude f permanent near-panic calm decisiveness is yur true ally(助手) in such situatins.
But then smetimes I was tld t switch ff the car and wait until the elephant had departed the scene. The idea was that the rumble(隆隆声) f an autmtive engine culd be interpreted by the animal as a kind f challenge. Keeping silent wuld reassure the elephant that yu weren't ging t cause any truble, and eventually it wuld g n its merry way. OK, that als sunded reasnable enugh.
A week later, my friend and I were driving by a river, watching elephants meet n the water fr a drink, and were driving back t ur ldge(度假小屋) when we fund ur rute blcked by a yung male elephant. As surprised as we were, the elephant planted his feet in the dirt and seemingly prepared t fight against ur car.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The track was narrw and brdered by thick bush, s we culdn't g arund him.



The elephant walked right up t the car.

The track was narrw and brdered by thick bush, s we culdn’t g arund him. Reversing
back the way we’d cme didn’t appeal either, as we’d prbably run int ther elephants making
their way back up the riverbank. S, taking a deep breath, my friend turned ff the engine and we
bth went as still as pssible. The fllwing 15 minutes r s rank as sme f the mst nervus and thrilling minutes I’d experienced s far in Africa. We sat in ur car, unmving and silent.
The elephant walked right up t the car. It began waving his trunk ver the hd, as if trying t make sense f us by sniffing. Then, as we watched, he raised ne big ft in the air in frnt f us and began mving it frward and backward, giving me a mmentary visin f being stamped int a metallic pancake. Eventually, the elephant lst interest in us, wandering ff t chew sme nearby branches, when we started the car and slwly rlled away.
