Eln Mus k has ffered a prize f $100m fr the best carbn capture prpsal. I can save his cmmittee a lt f time. The mney shuld g t Peter Whlleben, whse bk The Hidden Life f Trees was the mst encuraging blckbuster f 2015. Whlleben's idea is this: d nthing abut trees. Stp fiddling（乱作为） with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we fiddle, ur Rmes will bum.
The Hidden Life f Irees argued that trees are scial. It shws that they can be ur saviurs, but it's terribly hard t let urselves be saved. We think we can be the authrs f ur salvatin. Of curse, there are things we culd and shuld be ding, but in terms f frestry practice, ften what's billed as part f the slutin is part f the prblem.
Anyne wh has planted a tree in their garden knws that it has a far-reaching effect it makes yur garden cler in summer and warmer in winter. Frests cl by transpiring （蒸发）. If there's n water, there's n cling. Drught can kill trees fast, but trees have many ways f dealing with it, and Whllebe n sets them ut. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing ur behaviur— and that's hw trees survive, t. Trees learn frm their past harms and prduce yunger nes prgrammed with thse lessns. They regulate their grwth by changing the rate at which they drip — feed them with sugar slutin thrugh rt netwrks.
Deciduus （落叶的） frests in particular remve greenhuse gases effectively as lng as they live. Cut them dwn and bun them and yu're releasing carbn dixide nt just frm the wd, but als frm the frest flr. Deciduus trees are nt "harvest-ready" at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must interrgate cmfrting expressins such as "renewable energy", and learn the real cst f ur tilet paper.
If we dn't learn t d nthing abut trees, they will eventually be alne anyway — but withut us. Whlleben brilliantly and readably shws us hw urgent and hw hard it is t d nthing.
24. What des Whllebe a suggest fr carbn capture?
A. Fight climate change. B. Leave trees alne.
C. Save the earth. D. Change frestry species.
25. Hw d trees survive the drught?
A. They slw their grwthB. They lse all their leaves.
C. They stp absrbing water. D. They get help frm humans.
26. What des the underlined wrd "interrgate" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Understand. B. Questin. C. Translate. D. Accept.
27. What is the text?
A. A bk review. B. A science reprt.
C. An intrductin t a writer. D. A prpsal fr a reward

Imagine yu can pen yur fridge, pen an app n yur phne and immediately knw which items will g bad sn. This is ne f the applicatins that a new technlgy develped by engineers at the University f Califrnia San Dieg wuld enable.
The technlgy cmbines a chip（芯片） integrated int prduct packaging and a sftware update n yur phne. The phne becmes capable f identifying bjects based n signals the chip sends ut frm specific frequencies, in this case Bluetth r WiFi. In an industrial setting, a smartphne equipped with the sftware update culd be used as a radi frequency identificatin （RFID） reader.
The wrk uses breakthrughs in backscatter （反向散射） cmmunicatin, which uses signals already generated by yur smartphne and re-directs them back in a frmat yur phne can understand. Effectively, this technique uses less pwer than the latest technlgy t generate WiFisignals.
The custm chip, which is rughly the size f a grain f sand and csts nly a few pennies t prduce, needs s little pwer that it can be entirely pwered by LTE signals, a technique fr wireless bradband cmmunicatin fr mbile devices. The chip turns Bluetth signals int WiFi signals, which can in turn be detected by a smartphne with that specific sftware update.
The technlgy's brader prmise is the develpment f devices that d nt need batteries because they can harvest pwer frm LTE signals instead. This in turn wuld lead t devices that are significantly less expensive that last lnger, said Dinesh Bharadia, ne f the paper's senir authrs.
"E-waste, especially batteries, is ne f the biggest prblems the planet is facing, after climate change, "Bharadia said. Fr future research, the team will integrate this technlgy int ther prjects t demnstrate its capabilities, and they als hpe t cmmercialize it, either thrugh a startup r thrugh an industry partner.
28. Hw des the chip interact with the phne?
A. By prviding pwer fr the phne.
B. By prducing LTE signals fr the phne.
C. By giving Bluetth signals t the phne.
D. By sending WiFi signals back t the phne.
29. What is the ptential f the technlgy accrding t Bharadia?
A. Reducing e-waste. B. Making batteries cheap.
C. Supplying pwer t LTE signals. D. Decreasing the cst f LTE signals.
30. What will the team d in the future?
A. Invest in new technlgies.
B. Bring the technlgy t market.
C. Imprve the quality f the device.
D. Cmmercialize mre research prjects.
31. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. New technlgy turns smartphnes int RFID readers
B. Smartphnes need t be equipped with sft updates
C. RFID readers btain new chips and have new functins
D. Backscatter cmmunicatin makes the best f smartphnes
D
Is future yu. . . yu? It might seem like a strange philsphical questin. But the answer t hw yu think abut yur future self culd make the difference between decisins yu ultimately find satisfying and nes yu might eventually regret.
The brain patterns that emerge n an MRI （核磁共振） when peple think abut their future selves mst resemble the brain patterns that arise when they think abut strangers. This finding suggests that, in the mind's eye, ur future selves lk like ther peple. If yu see future yu as a different persn, why shuld yu save mney, eat healthier r exercise mre regularly t benefit that stranger?
Hwever, if yu see the interests f yur distant self as mre like thse f yur present self, yu are cnsiderably mre likely t d things tday that benefit yu tmrrw. A paper in the jurnal PLOS One revealed that cllege students wh experienced a greater sense f cnnectin and similarity t their future selves were mre likely t achieve academic success. Relatinships with ur future selves als matter fr general psychlgical well-being. In a prject led by Jseph Reiff, which includes 5, 000 adults age 20 t 75, he fund that thse wh perceived a great verlap（重叠） in traits between their current and future selves ended up being mre satisfied with their lives 10 years after filling ut the initial survey.
S hw can we better befriend ur future selves and feel mre cnnected t their fates? The psychlgical mindset with what we call "vividness interventins" wrks. We have fund, fr instance, that shwing peple images f their lder, grayer selves increases intentins t save fr the lng term. Besides, yu might try writing a letter t- and then frm -yur future self. As demnstrated by Yuta Chishima and Anne Wilsn in their 2020 study in the jurnal Self and Identity, when high-schl students engaged in this type f "send-and-reply" exercise, they experienced increased levels f feelings f similarity with their future selves.
Letter-writing and visualizatin exercises are just a cuple f ways we can cnnect with ur future selves and beynd, but the larger lessn here is clear: If we can treat ur distant selves as if they are peple we lve, care abut and want t supprt, we can start making chices fr them that imprve ur lives-bth tday and tmrrw.
32. What's the functin f paragraph 2?
A. Generating further discussin. B. Intrducing a research result.
C. Shwing the effect f the finding. D. Cncluding varius viewpints.
33. Hw des the authr prve his statements?
A. By ffering re levant statistics. B. By using qutatins.
C. By referring t previus findings. D. By making cmparisns.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. Benefits f befriending ur future selves.
B. Ways f cnnecting with ur future selves.
C. Methds f changing psychlgical mindsets.
D. Pssibilities f us becming ur future selves.
35. What des the article want t tell us?
A. Making future plans makes a difference.
B. Our future selves lk like ther peple.
C. Yur chice determines future happiness.
D. Getting t knw yur future self benefits.

Nature, while beautiful, culd als be unpredictable and merciless. But mst imprtantly, we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there's always a light at the end f the tunnel, just like Mr. Evans' cabin light.
One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided t venture int the unexplred trails f the Great Smky Muntains. Blessed with rich bidiversity and fascinating landscapes, the natinal park seemed a perfect getaway. Little did we knw that ur casual hike wuld sn turn int an unexpected persnal incident, frever stuck in ur memries.
We set ff early in the mrning, equipped with ur backpacks and a map that was suppsed t guide us thrugh the winding trails. The sun was up, casting lng shadws n the frest flr as we set ff n ur jurney. We trekked （艰难行走）， laughed, and marveled （惊叹） at the beauty f nature arund us.
As we trekked thrugh the dense frests, taking in the natural wnders arund us, we culdn't help but feel a sense f adventure cursing thrugh ur veins. The trail was rugged and uneven, but we persevered thrugh the challenging landscape.
Midway thrugh ur expeditin, we came crss a breathtaking waterfall, its sparkling waters cascading（倾泻） dwn the rcks in a quiet and peaceful meldy. We sat dwn by the water's edge, taking a mment t get lst in the beauty f nature. The cl mist frm the waterfall envelped us, and we felt refreshed and energetic.
As the day wre n, we ventured deeper int the wilderness, eager t explre every crner f this natural paradise. We were s absrbed in the beauty f nature that just didn't ntice ur way and it seemed that we culd nt find the way back t the familiar part f the frest.
Panicking, we scrambled t find ur way back but the dense vegetatin and winding trails nly served t cnfuse us further. We tried t remember any pssible signs that might lead us back. N sner had we celebrated ur return t the clear trails than smething wrse happened.

Suddenly， the weather tk an abrupt tum. Dark cluds cvered the sky， a heavy dwnpur fllwing. The cmfrting frest sunds quickly turned int a terrifying symphny f thunder and wind. The trail that was nce s clear tuned ut t be a muddy mess， making it impssible t cntinue. We tried t cnsult ur map， but it was t late. Obviusly， we were lst in the wildness. Hurs passed， and ur attempts t find the trail turned t be in vain. With the cld creeping in， despair started t set in.
Just when we were abut t give up， a faint light twinkled in the distance.
