The old continents historic

28、cities and its Mediterranean beaches draw many of its visitors, but the best destinations are sometimes its more remote corners, known mainly to locals and a few brave travelers. Lake Inari, Finland High above the Arctic Circle and close to Finlands border with Russia, Lake Inari is a year round par

29、adise. Dark, snowy winters make it ideal for catching a glimpse of the aurora borealis. Its treelined banks glow a burnt orange during autumn and in summer, you can swim in its 5 chilly shallows. The center of local S mi culture, its as remote and traditional as Finland gets. Unst, Shetland Isles, S

30、cotland The most northerly occupied island of the British Isles, Unst is a wild, rugged place where seas crash into the dramatic Muckle Flugga sea stacks. The latter are a harbor for gannets(塘鹅)during breeding season, with birdwatchers also treated to the sight of searching skuas(贼鸥) Yorkshire Dales

31、, England Its narrow lanes lined with drystone walls cry out to cyclists seeking marvelous adventures, while its moody hills continually attract walkers, no matter the weather. Geological wonders such as the limestone spectacles of Malham Cove and Gordale Scar make it perhaps the most beautiful part

32、 of the British Isles. Loire Valley, France Chateau de Chambord and Chateau de Chenonceau are the most famous, filled with classic viewing towers, formal gardens and boating lakes. Throw in a tour of its graperies, where some of the worlds finest wines are produced, and its glamour is impossible to

33、ignore. ( )56.

Lake Inari, Finland B A widelyused gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels can instead be made by an artificial leaf that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and whi

35、ch could eventually be used to develop a sustainable liquid fuel alternative to petrol. The carbonneutral(碳中和)device sets a new standard in the field of solar fuels, after researchers at the University of Cambridge demonstrated that it can directly produce the gas called syngas(合成气)in a sustainable

36、and simple way. Rather than running on fossil fuels, the artificial leaf is powered by sunlight, although it still works efficiently on cloudy and overcast days. And unlike the current industrial processes for producing syngas, the leaf does not release any additional carbon dioxide into the atmosph

37、ere. The results are reported in the journal Nature Materials. Syngas is currently made from a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide(氧化碳)， and is used to produce a range of products, such as fuels, medicines, plastics and fertilizers. “You may not have heard of syngas itself but every day, you con

38、sume products that were created using it. Being able to produce it sustainably would be a critical step in closing the global carbon cycle and establishing a sustainable chemical and fuel industry， ” said senior author Professor Erwin Reisner from Cambridges Department of Chemistry, who has spent se

39、ven years working towards this goal. The device Reisner and his colleagues produced is inspired by photosynthesisthe natural process by which plants use the energy from sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into food. 6 On the artificial leaf, two light absorbers, similar to the molecules in plants that h

40、arvest sunlight, are combined with a catalyst(催化剂) made from the naturally abundant element cobalt(钴) When the device is dipped in water, one light absorber uses the catalyst to produce oxygen. The other carries out the chemical reaction that reduces carbon dioxide and water into carbon monoxide and

41、 hydrogen, forming the syngas mixture. As an added bonus, the researchers discovered that their light absorbers work even under the low levels of sunlight on a rainy or overcast day. “This means you are not limited to using this technology just in warm countries, or only operating the process during

42、 the summer months， ” said PhD student Virgil Andrei, first author of the paper. “You could use it from dawn until dusk, anywhere in the world.” ( )58. With the artificial leaf, we can _ A. produce syngas in a sustainable and simple way B. prevent carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphe

43、re C. make products like medicines, plastics and fertilizers out of fossil fuels D. harvest abundant sunlight through petrol and close the global carbon cycle ( )59. For the syngas mixture to be formed, we might as well _ A. get rid of one light absorber B. block the contact with sunlight C. provide

44、 a special catalyst D. keep the artificial leaf far away from water ( )60. What can we learn from what PhD student Virgil Andrei said? A. Syngas has already been in widespread use around the world. B. The artificial leaf is powered by fossil fuels rather than sunlight. C. The artificial leaf doesnt

45、depend too much on the weather or location. D. Syngas is currently made from a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. C For some people, higher education is not just a goal in life, but also an expectation. In the United States, if your parents attended a college or university, there is a good cha

46、nce that you will, too. Even if your parents did not go to college, you still have a good chance of completing higher education if your family is wealthy. But your chances are reduced if you come from a needy family, a community with limited educational resources or you simply have no one to follow

47、as an example. Helping those in need is one of the main ideas behind a strategy of behavioral science called nudge theory or nudging. Nudging is a way of changing peoples behavior through indirect suggestion and by supporting positive actions. A growing number of US. colleges and universities look t

48、o nudging as way to support poor, minority and firstgeneration students. They also are using it to increase overall graduation rates. Two common forms of nudging are emails to students and text messages to their mobile phones. Schools and other educational organizations keep in contact with students

49、 this way, offering advice and help when needed. However, Alejandra Acostaa higher education policy expert at New Americanotes that there are several qualities a nudge campaign must possess in order to be successful. Acosta says messages must be timely, meaning they reach college students well before the date by which a student is required to take action
