In the cming decade, space agencies and private space cmpanies like SpaceX are planning t build a base n the Mn and Mars. While scientists are already building rckets fr the jurney, fr lng-term human settlements n them, astrnauts will need fuel t carry ut daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrgen (氢). But a grup f scientists is wrking n turning CO2 in the atmsphere int jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high cncentratin f CO2, it may be a feasible slutin.
Fr nw the team f scientists at the University f Oxfrd is fcusing n making jet fuel fr the aviatin (航空) industry. As the aviatin industry releases ver 900 millin tns f CO2 every year, t battle climate change, it is necessary t turn the tide. S far aviatin scientists have tried t use ther energy resurces like electricity t fly. But such flights are limited t shrt distances. Fr lng-distance flights, there is n alternative yet.
The cncept f turning CO2 int jet fuel is nt new. Previusly, ther similar methds had t rely n expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cbalt t speed up the chemical reactin. But what Oxfrd scientists suggest is adding a cheap irn-based catalyst and hydrgen t turn CO2 int liquid fuel. As the prcess wuld nt require using fssil fuel, it will make the industry carbn neutral (碳中和的).
The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire prcess tk 20 hurs and turned 38 percent f CO2 int new chemicals. Abut 48 percent f the chemicals were jet fuel hydrcarbn and the rest were ther by-prducts that are used in the prductin f plastic.
Prfessr Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the prject, said the new methd culd be imprved in tw t three years t prduce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, ptentially revlutinary advance. Our visin is that the wrld can see that CO2 cllected can be used as an energy carrier t enable sustainable aviatin.”
12. Which wrd can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Unique.B. Practical.C. Time-tested.D. Quick.
13. What prblem des the aviatin industry face?
A. It is suffering frm a serius fuel shrtage.
B. The traditinal jet fuel is much t expensive.
C. Climate change partly disturbs lng-distance flights.
D. Its alternative energy resurces are nt pwerful enugh.
14. What d we knw abut the Oxfrd scientists’ methd f fuel-making?
A. It is green and cst-saving.
B. It is cmplex and time-cnsuming.
C. It runs tests in natural envirnment.
D. It starts with immediate chemical reactin.
15. What’s the purpse f the authr?
A. T attract peple t explre the space.
B. T infrm us f a breakthrugh in fuel research.
C. T warn us the dangers f climate change.
D. T encurage us t wrk in the aviatin industry.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一组科学家正在致力于把大气中的CO₂转化为喷气燃料。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“But a grup f scientists is wrking n turning CO2 in the atmsphere int jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high cncentratin f CO2(但一组科学家正在研究将大气中的二氧化碳转化为喷气燃料。因为火星富含二氧化碳，而月球表面的二氧化碳浓度很高)”可知，科学家想把CO₂转化为喷气燃料，且火星和月球表面CO₂充足，所以这一想法很可行。所以划线单词feasible意为“切实可行的”，和B选项“Practical”意思相近。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“S far aviatin scientists have tried t use ther energy resurces like electricity t fly. But such flights are limited t shrt distances. Fr lng-distance flights, there is n alternative yet.(到目前为止，航空科学家已经尝试使用电力等其他能源来飞行。但这种飞行只限于短途飞行。对于长途飞行来说，目前还没有其他选择。)”可知，航空业面临的问题是它的替代能源还不够强大。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Previusly, ther similar methds had t rely n expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cbalt t speed up the chemical reactin. But what Oxfrd scientists suggest is adding a cheap irn-based catalyst and hydrgen t turn CO2 int liquid fuel. As the prcess wuld nt require using fssil fuel, it will make the industry carbn neutral (碳中和的).(以前，其他类似的方法必须依靠昂贵的催化剂，如钴来加速化学反应。但牛津大学的科学家们建议，加入一种廉价的铁基催化剂和氢，将二氧化碳转化为液体燃料。由于该过程不需要使用化石燃料，它将使该行业实现碳中和。)”可知，把CO₂转化为液体燃料无需昂贵的催化剂，也能达到碳中和，可得出牛津大学科学家的燃料制造方法是环保和节省成本的。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“But a grup f scientists is wrking n turning CO2 in the atmsphere int jet fuel.(但一组科学家正在研究将大气中的二氧化碳转化为喷气燃料。)”和下文对此研究内容与过程的介绍可知，文章介绍了一组科学家正在致力于把大气中的CO₂转化为喷气燃料，因此本文的目的是告诉我们燃料研究的突破，故选B。

【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。肢体语言可以帮助人们传递信息，但是同一种姿势可能会因文化不同而产生不同的含义。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Language is a part f culture and plays a very imprtant rle in it.(语言是文化的一部分，在文化中起着非常重要的作用)”可知，上文主要说明了语言的重要性，C项与上文中的“Language is a part f culture and plays a very imprtant rle in it.”为顺承关系，指出了语言在文化中的重要性。C项中的language、culture与上文中的Language、culture为原词复现关系。C选项“没有语言，就不可能有文化”符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Bdy mvement, eye cntact, gesture, and facial expressin are ther frms f language we call nnverbal cmmunicatin.(身体动作、眼神交流、手势和面部表情是我们称之为非语言交流的其他形式的语言)”以及后文“Accrding t Scial Anthrplgist, Edward T. Hall, in a nrmal cnversatin between tw persns, less than 15% f scial meaning is transmitted (传达) by wrds.(根据社会人类学家爱德华·t·霍尔的说法，在两人之间的正常对话中，只有不到15%的社会意义是通过语言传递的)”可知，本句对上文进行了进一步的解释说明，D项中的“nnverbal cmmunicatin”与上文中的“nnverbal cmmunicatin”为原词复现关系。此外，下文中引用的Edward T．Hall的发现是对D项的进一步解释。故D选项“肢体语言在我们的非语言交流中占了很大一部分”符合语境，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Different cultures have different ways f using nnverbal cmmunicatin and peple have different gestures t cnvey their expressins. Hwever, nnverbal cmmunicatin, like traffic, is nt randm (随意的);it has a purpse.(不同的文化有不同的使用非语言交流的方式，人们有不同的手势来表达他们的表情。然而，非语言交流，就像交通一样，不是随机的；它是有目的的)”可知，上文主要提到了非语言交流的方式是有目的的，故本句继续提到非语言交流背后的规则，B项中的“there are cmmn rules t guide its flw”与上文中的“is nt randm”相照应；its指代上文中的“nnverbal cmmunicatin”。故B选项“有一些共同的规则来引导它的流动”符合语境，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Fr example, “arms”, which are used little by Nrdics during a cnversatin, are an imprtant element in ne’s cmmunicative weapnry (武器) in Italy, Spain, and Suth America.(例如，arms一词在北欧人的谈话中很少使用，但在意大利、西班牙和南美，它是交际武器的重要组成部分)”指出了同一个词语在不同文化中有不同的含义，可知本句与上文为转折关系，指出非语言交际有不同的模式。E选项“但是在不同的文化中，非语言交际有不同的模式”符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据后文“In these cultures, ne shuld stand with feet pressed tgether and hands interlaced (交错) in frnt f the bdy. In cultures such as America, where yu ften stand with yur feet shulder­length apart, arms at yur side, standing in this fashin might be interpreted as being shy and insecure.(在这些文化中，一个人应该站在前面，两脚并拢，双手交叉。在像美国这样的文化中，你经常双脚分开站着，手臂放在身体两侧，这样站着可能会被理解为害羞和没有安全感)”可知，本句与下文为顺承关系，指出非洲文化中应使用的正确站姿。G项中的standing与下文中的stand及standing为原词复现关系。G选项“在非洲，站得太‘开放’意味着你的姿势可能不合适”符合语境，故选G。
