Wrking at an investment bank in New Yrk City in the mid-2010s. Anna Sacks was living the life—just nt the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted t d smething that felt imprtant and was fulfilling n a deeper level.
Sacks packed up her life and mved t Cnnecticut fr three mnths t participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming prgram that fcuses n sustainable living and grwing sustainable fd. The Adamah prgram pened Sacks’s eyes t the damage cnsumer culture is ding n a lcal, natinal, and glbal level, and the need t find slutins. Frm then n, she began what she calls “trash（垃圾）walking.”
While walking arund her neighbrhd, Sacks, 31, picked thrugh rubbish t lk fr reusable items. Sn, her trash walks expanded t include cmpany rubbish alng with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discvered a wide range f really great stuff—like clthing, dinnerware, and fd—all f which she dcuments n Instagram and TikTk.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained ppularity fr her educatinal, funny, and surprising vides that highlight the prblems with cnsumerism and share infrmatin abut hw t live a mre sustainable life. “The rt issue is verprductin, which leads t vercnsumptin, which leads t a large amunt f waste,” she says. Sacks’s vides have gne viral many times, causing shckwaves thrugh the industries she calls ut.
Trash walking has given Sacks a nearly endless supply and she shares much f her “treasure” with thers. She tries giving them infrmally t family, friends, r individuals she knws may need a specific item. Then she takes the remaining items t free stres s ther New Yrkers can benefit frm her treasure-hunting.
Sacks’s main fcus is simply getting peple t pay attentin t hw many unnecessary things they buy and then thrw away. “Once yu becme aware f the way yu cnsume, yu can see ways yu imprve,” she says.
24．What inspired Sacks t begin her “trash walking”?

It’s clear that fllwing a plant-based diet is cnnected with a lwer risk f heart disease. There are many types f plant-based diets, and they are all related t certain fds cnnected with heart benefits, such as whle grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and healthy ils. The diets have been mst studied fr their impact n heart health. These diets are rich in vitamins and minerals that help lwer bld pressure, reduce the risk f diabetes（糖尿病）and keep a healthy weight, all f which can lwer yur risk f heart disease.
Yet, the types f plant fds and their surces are als imprtant. Fr example, white rice and white bread are plant-based fds, s yu wuld think they’re gd t eat. But they are highly prcessed, and s are depleted f many heart-healthy nutrients（营养）and have enugh sugar, which means they can make bld sugar levels rise sharply and increase hunger, leading t vereating. Drinking 100% fruit juice is nt the same as eating the whle fruit, since juices can be high in sugar.
D yu really have t cut ut all meat fr yur heart’s health? Which animal fds culd have an impact n heart health? Sme research has shwn that the type and amunt matter mst. A 2014 study shwed that men aged 45t 79 wh ate 75grams r mre per day f prcessed red meat, like cld cuts, sausage, bacn and ht dgs, had a 28% higher risk f heart failure than thse wh ate less than 25grams. Hwever, a study in the January 2017 fund that eating 85grams f unprcessed red meat, three times per week, did nt wrsen bld pressure.
What is the right plant-based diet fr yu? “Fr many men, this may be a matter f bettering their current fds,” says Dr. Satija, a researcher frm American Cllege f Cardilgy.
28．Frm the first tw paragraphs, we knw that plant-based diets ______.
A．cntain enugh sugarB．increase hunger
C．lead t verweightD．benefit heart health
29．What d the underlined wrds “depleted f” in paragraph 2mean?
A．Added t.B．Shrt f.C．Filled with.D．Rted in.
30．Why des the authr list numbers in paragraph 3?
A．T prve the result believable.B．T attract readers’ attentin.
C．T shw the prcess clearly.D．T make the study ppular.

Chinese scientists have created a breakthrugh fibre that can be wven int warm, lightweight clthing using aergel, a thermal insulatin（热绝缘）material mainly used in the aerspace industry.
Aergel, ntable fr their perfrmance and durability, culd have varius applicatins. As the wrld’s lightest slid material, it has lng been valued fr its thermal insulatin prperties. Traditinal aergel, made by replacing the liquid in aergel with air, is extrardinarily light, resembling a slid clud f smke. Its high prsity（多孔性）gives it exceptinal heat resistance, but this als makes it fragile and challenging t prcess, limiting its use in civilian applicatins.
But nw, researchers at Zhejiang University have vercme aergel’s fragility and designed an encapsulated aergel fibre（EAF）with similar thermal insulatin mechanisms-after being inspired by the structure f plar bear hair.
The China Aerspace Science and Industry Crpratin as well as Nasa have used EAF in Mars rvers, which endure extreme temperatures ranging frm thusands f degrees during the Martian landing t -130 degrees Celsius（-202 degrees Fahrenheit）n the planet’s surface.
In an experiment, a vlunteer wre textiles（纺织品）made f EAF, dwn, wl, and cttn in a-20 degree Celsius envirnment. The surface temperatures f these materials were 3.5degrees, 3.8 degrees, 7.2 degrees, and 10.8 degrees respectively, indicating the superir insulatin f EAF. They shwed the practicality f EAF by weaving a jumper and cmparing its thermal insulatin t cmmn textile materials.
As well as being strng and stretchable, EAF can als be washed and dyed, imprving its use in practical applicatins. Traditinal silica aergel will absrb water and cllapse n itself. As a result, it quickly lses its thermal insulatin qualities in wet r humid envirnments. Hwever, EAF maintains its perfrmance even after machine washing.
Prfessr Zhang Xuetng f the Suzhu Institute f Nan-tech and Nan-binics at the Chinese Academy f Sciences, highlighted the ptential f the aergel fibres in advanced thermal textiles. As well as its ptential fr civilian use, EAF fibre als hlds prmise fr industries that are already familiar with aergels. “EAF textiles feature excellent thermal insulatin and multifunctin and have great ptential in areas such as military unifrms and spacesuits in extremely cld envirnments,” prfessr Zhang nted in a paper. Hwever, he als nted the gap between existing technlgy and capacity fr mass prductin. Challenges exist regarding hw t develp fast spinning technlgy and reslve the cntinuus fabricatin that is necessary fr mass prductin.
32．What is the characteristic f traditinal aergel?
A．It can be easily prcessed.B．It is resistant t high temperatures.
C．It is a slid clud f smke.D．It can effectively insulate electricity.
33．What is EAF’s advantage in enduring extreme temperature based n?
A．Research statistics.B．Public cmments.
C．Scientific predictin.D．Cmmercial reprts.
34．Prfessr Zhang Xuetng’s study fund that mass prductin culd be pssible if ______.
A．advancement is made in thermal textiles
B．there exists need fr cntinuus fabricatin
C．barriers in fast spinning technlgy are vercme
D．aergel’s strengths and weaknesses get balanced
35．What is the text mainly abut?
A．The develpment f aergel fibre.
B．The ptential use f bimimetic fibre.
C．Great breakthrugh in aerspace industry.
D．China’s newly-wven clthing made frm aergel.

Wrking at an investment bank in New Yrk City in the mid-2010s. Anna Sacks was living the life—just nt the life she wanted. Sure, she was happy. But she wanted t d smething that felt imprtant and was fulfilling n a deeper level.
Sacks packed up her life and mved t Cnnecticut fr three mnths t participate in Adamah, a Jewish farming prgram that fcuses n sustainable living and grwing sustainable fd. The Adamah prgram pened Sacks’s eyes t the damage cnsumer culture is ding n a lcal, natinal, and glbal level, and the need t find slutins. Frm then n, she began what she calls “trash（垃圾）walking.”
While walking arund her neighbrhd, Sacks, 31, picked thrugh rubbish t lk fr reusable items. Sn, her trash walks expanded t include cmpany rubbish alng with residential trash. Surprisingly, she discvered a wide range f really great stuff—like clthing, dinnerware, and fd—all f which she dcuments n Instagram and TikTk.
Under the name The Trash Walker, Sacks quickly gained ppularity fr her educatinal, funny, and surprising vides that highlight the prblems with cnsumerism and share infrmatin abut hw t live a mre sustainable life. “The rt issue is verprductin, which leads t vercnsumptin, which leads t a large amunt f waste,” she says. Sacks’s vides have gne viral many times, causing shckwaves thrugh the industries she calls ut.
Trash walking has given Sacks a nearly endless supply and she shares much f her “treasure” with thers. She tries giving them infrmally t family, friends, r individuals she knws may need a specific item. Then she takes the remaining items t free stres s ther New Yrkers can benefit frm her treasure-hunting.
Sacks’s main fcus is simply getting peple t pay attentin t hw many unnecessary things they buy and then thrw away. “Once yu becme aware f the way yu cnsume, yu can see ways yu imprve,” she says.
24．What inspired Sacks t begin her “trash walking”?
A．Her invlvement in a prject.B．The great need fr husehld stuff.
C．Her desire t live a richer life.D．The wish t be an Internet star.

It’s clear that fllwing a plant-based diet is cnnected with a lwer risk f heart disease. There are many types f plant-based diets, and they are all related t certain fds cnnected with heart benefits, such as whle grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and healthy ils. The diets have been mst studied fr their impact n heart health. These diets are rich in vitamins and minerals that help lwer bld pressure, reduce the risk f diabetes（糖尿病）and keep a healthy weight, all f which can lwer yur risk f heart disease.
Yet, the types f plant fds and their surces are als imprtant. Fr example, white rice and white bread are plant-based fds, s yu wuld think they’re gd t eat. But they are highly prcessed, and s are depleted f many heart-healthy nutrients（营养）and have enugh sugar, which means they can make bld sugar levels rise sharply and increase hunger, leading t vereating. Drinking 100% fruit juice is nt the same as eating the whle fruit, since juices can be high in sugar.
D yu really have t cut ut all meat fr yur heart’s health? Which animal fds culd have an impact n heart health? Sme research has shwn that the type and amunt matter mst. A 2014 study shwed that men aged 45t 79 wh ate 75grams r mre per day f prcessed red meat, like cld cuts, sausage, bacn and ht dgs, had a 28% higher risk f heart failure than thse wh ate less than 25grams. Hwever, a study in the January 2017 fund that eating 85grams f unprcessed red meat, three times per week, did nt wrsen bld pressure.
What is the right plant-based diet fr yu? “Fr many men, this may be a matter f bettering their current fds,” says Dr. Satija, a researcher frm American Cllege f Cardilgy.
28．Frm the first tw paragraphs, we knw that plant-based diets ______.
A．cntain enugh sugarB．increase hunger
C．lead t verweightD．benefit heart health
29．What d the underlined wrds “depleted f” in paragraph 2mean?

30．Why des the authr list numbers in paragraph 3?
A．T prve the result believable.B．T attract readers’ attentin.
C．T shw the prcess clearly.D．T make the study ppular.

Chinese scientists have created a breakthrugh fibre that can be wven int warm, lightweight clthing using aergel, a thermal insulatin（热绝缘）material mainly used in the aerspace industry.
Aergel, ntable fr their perfrmance and durability, culd have varius applicatins. As the wrld’s lightest slid material, it has lng been valued fr its thermal insulatin prperties. Traditinal aergel, made by replacing the liquid in aergel with air, is extrardinarily light, resembling a slid clud f smke. Its high prsity（多孔性）gives it exceptinal heat resistance, but this als makes it fragile and challenging t prcess, limiting its use in civilian applicatins.
But nw, researchers at Zhejiang University have vercme aergel’s fragility and designed an encapsulated aergel fibre（EAF）with similar thermal insulatin mechanisms-after being inspired by the structure f plar bear hair.
The China Aerspace Science and Industry Crpratin as well as Nasa have used EAF in Mars rvers, which endure extreme temperatures ranging frm thusands f degrees during the Martian landing t -130 degrees Celsius（-202 degrees Fahrenheit）n the planet’s surface.
In an experiment, a vlunteer wre textiles（纺织品）made f EAF, dwn, wl, and cttn in a-20 degree Celsius envirnment. The surface temperatures f these materials were 3.5degrees, 3.8 degrees, 7.2 degrees, and 10.8 degrees respectively, indicating the superir insulatin f EAF. They shwed the practicality f EAF by weaving a jumper and cmparing its thermal insulatin t cmmn textile materials.
As well as being strng and stretchable, EAF can als be washed and dyed, imprving its use in practical applicatins. Traditinal silica aergel will absrb water and cllapse n itself. As a result, it quickly lses its thermal insulatin qualities in wet r humid envirnments. Hwever, EAF maintains its perfrmance even after machine washing.
Prfessr Zhang Xuetng f the Suzhu Institute f Nan-tech and Nan-binics at the Chinese Academy f Sciences, highlighted the ptential f the aergel fibres in advanced thermal textiles. As well as its ptential fr civilian use, EAF fibre als hlds prmise fr industries that are already familiar with aergels. “EAF textiles feature excellent thermal insulatin and multifunctin and have great ptential in areas such as military unifrms and spacesuits in extremely cld envirnments,” prfessr Zhang nted in a paper. Hwever, he als nted the gap between existing technlgy and capacity fr mass prductin. Challenges exist regarding hw t develp fast spinning technlgy and reslve the cntinuus fabricatin that is necessary fr mass prductin.
32．What is the characteristic f traditinal aergel?
A．It can be easily prcessed.B．It is resistant t high temperatures.
C．It is a slid clud f smke.D．It can effectively insulate electricity.
33．What is EAF’s advantage in enduring extreme temperature based n?
A．Research statistics.B．Public cmments.
C．Scientific predictin.D．Cmmercial reprts.
34．Prfessr Zhang Xuetng’s study fund that mass prductin culd be pssible if ______.
A．advancement is made in thermal textiles
B．there exists need fr cntinuus fabricatin
C．barriers in fast spinning technlgy are vercme
D．aergel’s strengths and weaknesses get balanced
35．What is the text mainly abut?
A．The develpment f aergel fibre.
B．The ptential use f bimimetic fibre.
C．Great breakthrugh in aerspace industry.
D．China’s newly-wven clthing made frm aergel.
