Clean water might nt grw n trees, but the trees might d the next best thing—prvide a cheap and easy way f filtering (过滤) it.
Researchers frm the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) have been able t use wd frm tree branches t filter water bth in the labratry and in the field. Cmpared t ther water filters, the new way f filtering water gets an edge. This culd prvide an inexpensive and lw-tech alternative t cstly methds f getting clean water in places that need it the mst.
In a new study, researchers shw that the natural structure f wd frm nn-flwering plants like pine prvides enugh filtratin t remve bacteria frm water. This methd was already prven t wrk in a lab in 2014, but nw the researchers have fund, thrugh interviews with ptential users and tests f lcal water surces, that the tree-based purificatin system wrks just as well in the field in India and that the lcals are willing t use it.
The branches f nn-flwering plants are built f thin, straw-like tubes called x ylem in the layer f wd under the skin. The unique structure f the xylem tissue in the branches allws it t wrk as a water filter because these channels are cnnected t each ther thrugh prus membranes (多孔薄膜). These membranes can catch water pllutants, similar t a water filter membrane.
The researchers were even able t extend the shelf life f dry wd filters t arund tw years by dipping (浸泡) them in a prtective mix f ht water and ethanl (乙醇). T make this ptentially life-saving technlgy be reachable t thse wh need it, the cnstructin f the filter is pen t the public and instructins can be fund n their website detailing hw anyne can try t cnstruct their wn wd water filter.

Imagine reading a stry titled “The Cnstant Pursuit f Alchl”. Yu wuld likely expect a depressing stry abut a persn abusing alchl. Nw imagine reading a stry titled “The Cnstant Pursuit f Success”. That wuld be an inspiring stry, wuldn’t it?
Thugh it isn’t a cnventinal medical addictin, fr many peple, success has addictive prperties. T a certain extent, praise stimulates the neurtransmitter dpamine (神经递质多巴胺) , which is shwn in all addictive behavirs. Therefre, success is als similar t alchl addictin in its effects n human.
“Unhappy is he wh depends n success t be happy,” wrte Arex DiasRibeir, a frmer Frmula l race-car driver. “Fr such a persn, the end f a successful career is the end f the line. His destiny (命运) is t die f bitterness r t search fr mre success in ther careers and t g n living frm success t success until he falls dead. In this case, there will nt be life after success.”
There is plenty yu can d t retrain yurself t pursue happiness instead f success. The first step is an admissin that successful as yu are, were, r hpe t be in yur life and wrk, yu are nt ging t find true happiness in yur prfessinal life. Yu’ll find it in things that are deeply rdinary: enjying a walk r a cnversatin with a lved ne. The secnd step is t make up fr any relatinships yu’ve cmprmised (妥协) in the name f success. The last step is t find the right measurement f success. If yu measure yurself nly by the rewards f mney and pwer, yu’ll spend yur life running n these and cmparing yurself t thers. I suggest the better measurements be faith, family, and friendship.
Success in and f itself is nt a bad thing. It can bring fun and sweetness t life. But it becmes tyrannical (专横的) when it is a replacement fr the relatinships and lve that shuld be at the center f ur lives.
9. What can we learn frm Paragraph 2?
A. Success is determined by many factrs.
B. Peple can be greatly addictive t success.
C. Success can be really attractive t humans.
D. It’s difficult t achieve great success in life.
10. What can we learn frm Alex Dias Ribeir’s wrds in Paragraph 3?
A. It is nt wise t end a successful career.
B. Happiness is mre imprtant than success.
C. Successful peple usually live a bring life.
D. Success may nt be the surce f happiness.
11. What is the right measurement f success accrding t the authr?
A. T take n a highly-paid jb.B. T hld a high scial psitin.
C. T fcus n the true meaning f life.D. T find the right apprach t success.
12. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T shw us the imprtance f success.
B. T suggest lve is at the center f ur life.
C. T remind us nt t verly pursue success.
D. T share his experience in finding happiness.

Imagine reading a stry titled “The Cnstant Pursuit f Alchl”. Yu wuld likely expect a depressing stry abut a persn abusing alchl. Nw imagine reading a stry titled “The Cnstant Pursuit f Success”. That wuld be an inspiring stry, wuldn’t it?
Thugh it isn’t a cnventinal medical addictin, fr many peple, success has addictive prperties. T a certain extent, praise stimulates the neurtransmitter dpamine (神经递质多巴胺) , which is shwn in all addictive behavirs. Therefre, success is als similar t alchl addictin in its effects n human.
“Unhappy is he wh depends n success t be happy,” wrte Arex DiasRibeir, a frmer Frmula l race-car driver. “Fr such a persn, the end f a successful career is the end f the line. His destiny (命运) is t die f bitterness r t search fr mre success in ther careers and t g n living frm success t success until he falls dead. In this case, there will nt be life after success.”
There is plenty yu can d t retrain yurself t pursue happiness instead f success. The first step is an admissin that successful as yu are, were, r hpe t be in yur life and wrk, yu are nt ging t find true happiness in yur prfessinal life.

The last step is t find the right measurement f success. If yu measure yurself nly by the rewards f mney and pwer, yu’ll spend yur life running n these and cmparing yurself t thers. I suggest the better measurements be faith, family, and friendship.
Success in and f itself is nt a bad thing. It can bring fun and sweetness t life. But it becmes tyrannical (专横的) when it is a replacement fr the relatinships and lve that shuld be at the center f ur lives.

His destiny (命运) is t die f bitterness r t search fr mre success in ther careers and t g n living frm success t success until he falls dead. In this case, there will nt be life after success.(对这样的人来说，成功的职业生涯的结束就是赛道线的终点。他的命运要么是含恨而终，要么是在其他领域追求更多的成功，在成功中延续生命，直至走向死亡。在这种情形里，成功之外没有生命)”可知，从Alex Dias Ribeir的话中可知，依靠成功来获得快乐的人是不快乐的，因此推知成功可能不是幸福的来源，故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“If yu measure yurself nly by the rewards f mney and pwer, yu’ll spend yur life running n these and cmparing yurself t thers.

【33题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它讲述了宋代一个女人和她的两个朋友经营茶馆的故事。本句谓语为narrates，此处为非谓语动词，且wman与run“经营”为主动关系，应用现在分词，作定语，修饰wman。故填running。
【34题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在一些场景中，女主人公展现了令人印象深刻的倒茶技巧，并在茶杯表面创造了美丽的图案。此处用形容词impressive“令人印象深刻的”，作定语，修饰名词skills。故填impressive。
【35题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：自唐代以来，中国茶文化有着悠久的历史。根据since the Tang Dynasty可知，witness“见证，目睹”这一动作开始于过去，持续到现在，句子应用现在完成时，又因主语是Chinese tea culture，因此助动词用has。故填has witnessed。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它在整个宋代发展起来，当时流行的喝茶方式变成了“点茶”----一种茶艺。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the Sng Dynasty，指时间，关系词代替先行词在从句中作时间状语，应用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这是一种优秀的技术，首先将热水倒在细粉茶上，使其变得糊状。technique“技术”是可数名词，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，excellent是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查动词语态、主谓一致。句意：然后慢慢地加入更多的热水，同时用竹棒不断地用手搅拌茶叶，以产生泡沫，这可以用来在茶叶表面创造图案。结合语境可知，本句陈述事实，故时态用一般现在时，且主语water 与add“添加”为被动关系，故句子用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数，be动词用is。故填is added。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意：然后慢慢地加入更多的热水，同时用竹棒不断地用手搅拌茶叶，以产生泡沫，这可以用来在茶叶表面创造图案。结合语境可知，本空用介词with，表示“用”。故填with。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这种倒热水动作被称为“点”，因此这门艺术被称为“点茶”，而用水在茶上作画的艺术被称为“茶白戏”。while后的句子谓语为is called，此处为非谓语动词，应用draw“画”的不定式，作目的状语。故填t draw。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：在现代社会，咖啡艺术随处可见，而茶艺则相对鲜为人知。此处用副词relatively“相对地”，作状语，修饰little-knwn。故填relatively。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：这部受欢迎的电视剧将这一非物质文化遗产带给了更多的观众，并有助于将中国传统茶文化传播给年轻一代和世界。结合空前的mre可知，此处用名词viewer“观众”的复数形式，作t的宾语。故填viewers。
