Far, far belw yur feet lies a surce f nearly endless energy. Earth's cre is abut as ht as the surface f the Sun, s ht that it melts the rcky layers abve it int magma, r liquid rck. Wuldn't it be great if we culd tap int all that energy? In sme places, we d!
The Geysers is an area nrth f San Francisc in Califrnia where magma's heat turns a reservir f undergrund water int steam. This regin is hme t 18 gethermal pwer plants. The steam rises up thrugh spaces between the rcks undergrund, a bit like hw steam purs frm a teakettle biling n a stve. The pwer plant has pipelines that send the steam int the turbines (涡轮机) where electricity flw is generated. Once the steam leaves the turbine, it ges int a cling twer where it turns back int liquid. Then it's piped back int the reservir t be reheated again. Other kinds f gethermal pwer plants pump ht grundwater int the pwer plant. Then the pressure is reduced, causing the liquid t flash int steam that turns the turbine and generates electricity flw. Once the steam cls and turns back int liquid, it's pumped back dwn int the reservir t begin the cycle again.
S why dn't we all heat ur hmes with free steam frm the earth? First, the heat has t be clse enugh t the surface fr us t reach it. Next, there has t be plenty f undergrund water t be heated. Finally, there has t be a layer f rck that water r steam can flw thrugh. S in places where all three f thse things cme tgether, gethermal energy can be a pwerful renewable energy surce. Besides, when a gethermal plant returns water back int the ht rcks f a reservir, it makes the rck crack a bit, which can cause small earthquakes. There's anther danger that cmes with drilling near magma-pipes and ther equipment might melt if they hit a pcket f magma r are caught in an eruptin. One gethermal plant in Hawaii was partially buried by lava in 2018. But engineers are hpeful that the repaired plant will generate even mre pwer. Gethermal energy isn't the answer fr everywhere, but it's a piece f the puzzle t help slw climate change.
2.In which part f pwer plants is the electricity made?
A. The turbine.B. The reservir.C. The pipeline.D. The twer.
3.What prevents free steam frm being widely develped accrding t paragraph 3?
A. Hard surface and pssible earthquakes.
B. Changeable climate and unqualified equipment.
C. Limited undergrund water and thin layers f rck.
D. Unsuitable gelgical cnditins and ptential dangers.
4.Why is the buried gethermal plant in Hawaii mentined?
A. T demnstrate the great effrt that engineers made.
B. T shw the pwer that the repaired plant can generate.
C. T illustrate the danger caused by drilling near magma.
D. T praise the engineers wh repaired the generate plant.
5.What is the authr's attitude twards gethermal energy?
A. Uncncerned.B. Unclear.C. Dubtful.D. Apprving.

Bilgical fieldwrk can mean trips t extic places. The mst cmmn methd is t send a few eager graduate students armed with camera traps and several weeks f spare time. But perhaps nt fr much lnger. A paper published in Current Bilgy suggests an easier methd: simply swabbing(擦拭) nearby leaves fr DNA.
The DNA in questin is called "envirnmental DNA" (eDNA fr shrt). It refers t all the genetic infrmatin that animals leave behind as they g abut their daily business: breathing, urinating, r interacting with their envirnment in any way. In recent years, genesequencing(基因测序) technlgy has becme quick and sensitive enugh t pick ut genetic sequences frm particular animals including humans frm this eDNA.
One way f ding s is simply t blw air thrugh filters(过滤器), and then analyse them t see which animals live nearby. Drs Ggarten and Lynggaard wndered if there might be a simpler apprach. Air-sampling systems can take days t d their wrk. Maintenance must be dne, and filters must be changed. But given that eDNA is literally blwing arund ecsystems, the searchers wndered if it might be cllecting n leaves.
The leaves f many plants are waxy(蜡质的) and smewhat sticky. The researchers therised that eDNA might end up stuck t leaves and that it culd subsequently be cllected by swabbing them. They tested their thery in the dense rain frests f Kibale Natinal Park, in Uganda. Using simple cttn swabs, and wearing masks and glves t prevent plluting the samples with their wn DNA, they visited three areas f the park and cllected eight swabs at each site, and then tk them back t Cpenhagen fr analysis.
The swabs revealed the presence f 26 birds, 24 mammals, ne amphibian and ne fish, with each swab cntaining DNA frm eight animals n average. Mre than half the samples were gd enugh t wrk ut the precise species they came frm.
Swabbing fr animals, then, seems t wrk. Mrever, it is cheap, easy and fast. Graduate students will have t be cntent spending less time sample-hunting in distant parts f the wrld.
6.Wh will benefit mst frm the research findings?
A. Frest farmers.B. Bilgical graduates.
C. Ambitius scientists.D. Envirnmental activists.
7.Why was the researchers armed with masks and glves?
A. T prtect the leaves.B. T avid getting stuck.
C. T stay safe frm wax.D. T ensure the quality f samples.
8.Hw is eDNA methd cmpared with the cmmn ways?
A. Mre animal-friendly.B. Free f cmplex analysis.
C. Mre accurate and effective.D. Ecnmical in time and mney.

Many f us are lnelier than ever. We can g shpping and avid speaking t a single persn. Autmated vice sn phnes and machines suck the cntact and relatinal element ut f day-t-day life, s much s that experts say that we are experiencing a lneliness disease.
Accrding t Dr. Lalitaa, lneliness is the feeling we get when ur need fr rewarding scial cntact and relatinships is nt met. But lneliness is nt always the same as being alne. Lneliness is a state f mind linked t wanting human cntact but feeling alne. Peple can be alne and nt feel lnely, r they can have cntact with peple and still experience feelings f lneliness.
Lneliness is a universal human emtin that is bth cmplex and unique t each individual. There are many cntributing factrs t lneliness, such as illness, relatinships breaking dwn, mving cuntry, changing jbs r nt being understd by c-wrkers, retiring, starting university, etc.
We cannt underestimate the impact lneliness can have n ur physical and mental wellbeing. Accrding t research, lneliness has cmparable health risks t smking 15cigarettes a day, and peple wh feel lnely are mre likely t die earlier and suffer frm heart attacks. Dr. Lalitaa says, "Peple ften say t me, 'It's t late t meet new peple as an adult.' Having human cnnect in can lk different fr each persn, but this can becme a blck, stpping them ging ut, trying new things and cnnecting with new peple. Remember, it is never t late t make gd, meaningful cnnectins."
Hwever, dn't put pressure n yurself. A meaningful relatinship takes time. It is nt just created vernight. Als, take sme time t sit with yurself and venture(冒险) int sme f the things that yu like ding. "The first thing I wuld say is nt t deny r distance the feeling. Acknwledge it and then yu can chse t fcus n ways t help yurself," says Dr. Lalitaa.
13.Hw des the authr clarify what lneliness is?
A. By stating arguments.B. By giving examples.
C. By making cmparisns.D. By emplying figures.
14.Why is smking cigarettes mentined in the text?
A. T explain the causes f lneliness.
B. T illustrate the harm frm lneliness.
C. T verestimate the impact f lneliness.
D. T emphasize the universality f lneliness.
15.What des the underlined wrd "this" in paragraph 4 refer t?
A. Lack f appealing reward.
B. Dependence n the netwrk.
C. The regret fr the passing yuth.
D. The idea f being t late fr new relatins.
16.What des Dr. Lalitaa cnsider as pririty when dealing with lneliness?

Many f us are lnelier than ever. We can g shpping and avid speaking t a single persn. Autmated vice sn phnes and machines suck the cntact and relatinal element ut f day-t-day life, s much s that experts say that we are experiencing a lneliness disease.
Accrding t Dr. Lalitaa, lneliness is the feeling we get when ur need fr rewarding scial cntact and relatinships is nt met. But lneliness is nt always the same as being alne. Lneliness is a state f mind linked t wanting human cntact but feeling alne. Peple can be alne and nt feel lnely, r they can have cntact with peple and still experience feelings f lneliness.
Lneliness is a universal human emtin that is bth cmplex and unique t each individual. There are many cntributing factrs t lneliness, such as illness, relatinships breaking dwn, mving cuntry, changing jbs r nt being understd by c-wrkers, retiring, starting university, etc.

Accrding t research, lneliness has cmparable health risks t smking 15cigarettes a day, and peple wh feel lnely are mre likely t die earlier and suffer frm heart attacks. Dr. Lalitaa says, "Peple ften say t me, 'It's t late t meet new peple as an adult.' Having human cnnect in can lk different fr each persn, but this can becme a blck, stpping them ging ut, trying new things and cnnecting with new peple. Remember, it is never t late t make gd, meaningful cnnectins."
Hwever, dn't put pressure n yurself. A meaningful relatinship takes time. It is nt just created vernight. Als, take sme time t sit with yurself and venture(冒险) int sme f the things that yu like ding. "The first thing I wuld say is nt t deny r distance the feeling. Acknwledge it and then yu can chse t fcus n ways t help yurself," says Dr. Lalitaa.
