Nwadays, cuntries are eager t get mre electric cars n the rad because mving away frm gas-pwered vehicles is vital t fighting climate change. China says that mst new vehicles sld by 2035 will be electric. The United Kingdm will ban new gas-pwered cars in 2030. One f the wrld's majr autmakers, General Mtrs (GM), annunced that it wuld stp selling gas-pwered cars by 2035.
The key t an electric future is batteries. Autmakers are racing t pack the mst energy int the smallest ne. The 1ithium-in (锂离子) battery is what pwers ur mbile devices, which can be recharged again and again. Making these batteries has an envirnmental cst. Lithium is taken frm the earth, like the il used t make gasline. But the lng-term cst is much smaller. "Once yu bum gasline, yu can't recycle it," says Jessika Trancik, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy. "But when yu use up a battery, yu can still recycle the material."
It’s up t gvernments t make electric cars accessible t everyne. Natinal plicies can help. In the United States, an electric Chevy Vlt csts abut $35,000. Trancik says charging statins must als be made widely available. As part f an effrt t fight climate change, America plans t build half a millin f them in the US by 2030. She hpes enugh charging statins will be built sn. “It’s imprtant t put chargers where many different peple can have access t them,” she says. “Nt just wealthier peple.”
Last year, almst 5% f apprximately 67 millin new cars sld wrldwide were electric. Fr Venkat Viswanathan, a prfessr f mechanical engineering at Carnegie Melln University, green electricity is part f the slutin t climate change, and electric cars are just the beginning. He sees a future f slar-pwered hmes and electric flying cars. "Sn, a plug-in vehicle might be as cheap as a gas-pwered car. It is nw abundantly clear that electric is the future," he says. "It will be a ttally new wrld."
28．Which wrd best describes Trancik's attitude t the 1ithium-in battery?
A．Cnservative B．Skeptical C．Psitive D．Disapprving
29．What des Trancik indicate abut charging statins in Paragraph 3?
A．They shuld cme dwn in price. B．They may be unfairly laid ut.
C．Enugh f them have been built. D．They favr mre rdinary peple.
30．What can be inferred frm Viswanathan?
A．Gas-pwered cars will be cheaper. B．Green electricity will be widely used.
C．The price f batteries will drp sharply. D．Electric vehicles will beat climate change.
31．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Charging Statins Are Needed B．Vehicles Have Clean Optins
C．Climate Change Fuels Electricity D．Our Cars Are Ging Electric

Jasn, a straight-A student frm the University f Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseud-wrking” t describe hw many f us study. The pseud-wrker lks and feels like smene wh is wrking hard － he r she spends a lng time in the 1ibrary and is nt afraid t push n late int the night － but, because f a lack f fcus and cncentratin, he r she's desn't actually accmplish much.
This phenmenn can be seen n must cllege campuses . Fr example , at Dartmuth there was a
sectin f the main library that was pen twenty-fur hurs a day, and the students I used t see there late at night crwded in grups, drinking cffee, were definitely pseud-wrking. The rmmate wh flips thrugh her chemistry ntes n the cuch while watching TV is pseud-wrking.
By placing themselves in distracting envirnments and insisting n wrking lng hurs, these students are damaging their brain's ability t think clearly and efficiently accmplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effrt.
The bigger prblem here is that mst students dn't even realize that they’re pseud-wrking. T them pseud-wrking is wrk － it’s hw they've always dne it, and it's hw all f their friends d it. It never crsses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, n the ther hand, knw all abut pseud-wrking. They fear it. It nt nly wastes time, but it's als mentally tiring.
In fact, the mst imprtant skill in becming a straight-A student is the ability t get wrk dne quickly and with a minimum f wasted effrt. Sme cgnitive science research cncludes that abut fifty minutes is the ptimal learning perid t maximize the material integrated per time unit. S hw d these students achieve this gal? T understand their secret t success, cnsider the fllwing simple frmula (公式): wrk accmplished = time spent × intensity f fcus.
Pseud-wrking features a very lw intensity f fcus. Therefre, t accmplish smething by pseud-wrking, yu need t spend a lt f time. The straight-A apprach n the ther hand, increases intensity in rder t use less time.
32．Which f the fllwing phenmenn is pseud-wrking?
A．Tm is busy taking ntes while attending a lecture.
B．Mike is sitting at a study lunge in preparatin fr a final exam quietly.
C．Jack spends a lng time in the library n his essay while listening t music.
D．Alice and Sara are sitting n the cuch reading their favrite bks.
33．Cmpared with straight-A students, the majr prblem f mst students is that .
A．they want t spend mre time n study
B．they are eager t fllw their friends' way
C．they have gt used t their study apprach
D．they are unaware f their pseud-wrking
34．What des the underlined wrd “ptimal” mean in paragraph 5?
A．Pssible B．Best C．Least D．Accurate
35．What des the authr want t stress by mentining the frmula?
A．The length f time n study cunts.
B．Cncentratin plays a key rle in study.
C．Getting wrk dne quickly means everything.
D．Effective study apprach is very imprtant.
