15、A job advertisement.CA guide to sport.DA promotion brochure.In the last two years, tennis has taken over our closets, our screens and now our living rooms, furniture from thrown tennis balls.At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions furniture from thrown tennis

16、 balls. Wittocks chase longues (躺椅) are entirely cushionless save for the filling of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one-meter-long benches are similarly few and far between, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial.Around 300 million tennis balls are produced eac

17、h year and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose (分解). Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played.It takes Wittock around three to four weeks to build a chair. Every ball is cut and dyed by h

18、and, with colors picked out especially to fit the clients space. It was through much trial and error that she was able to use the shape of the ball while masking some of its all-too-easily- recognized features. “I needed to find an assembly that changed the iconic appearance of the tennis balls,” sh

19、e said. “Its yellow and has these white lines. How do I deal with them?”Wittock started to see the designs possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins, an art school in London. Today, she receives all her materials via donations from tennis clubs. Collectio

20、ns began small sometimes with just 10 tossed balls at a time but quickly grew. Now, Wittock works with the Federation of Wallonia in Brussels, who have offered her their entire stock around 100,000. How long will it last? “Its enough for a few months,” she said. “If things get wild, maybe it will la

21、st nine months. Because I have a rhythm of cutting tennis balls. I can get through 1,800 per week.”24Why are the numbers listed in paragraph 2?ATo highlight a waste.BTo promote a product.CTo state the material of furniture.DTo show tennis popularity.25What function does paragraph 3 act as?AA backgro

The screen uses tiny dots known as pixels (像素) that consist of three primary colors: red, green and blue. By mixing these colors in different ways, your phone can show

24、 you everything from beautiful beach scenes to cute puppies. Now imagine something similar for smells. Scientists are developing digital scent technology that uses a small number of different cartridges (暗盒) , each containing a specific scent. Just like how pixels mix the three basic colors to creat

25、e images, these scent cartridges could mix to create different smells. Just as images on your phone are made of digital codes that represent combinations of pixels, smells produced by a future phone could be created through digital codes. Each smell could have a specific recipe made up of different

26、amounts of the ingredients in the cartridges. When you receive a digital scent code, your phone could mix tiny amounts of the different scents from the cartridges to create the desired smell. This mix would then be released through a small vent on the phone, allowing you to smell it. With just a few

27、 cartridges, your phone could potentially create a huge variety of smells, much like how red, green and blue pixels can create countless colors. Creating a phone that can produce smells involves several challenges. One is designing a system that can produce thousands of different smells using only a

28、 few cartridges. Another is how to control how strong a scent should be and how long a phone should send it out. And phones will also need to sense odors near them and convert those to digital codes so your friends phones can send smells to you. The cartridges should also be easy to refill, and the

29、chemicals in them should be safe to breathe. These hurdles make it a tricky but exciting area of research.28What enables a phone screen to present diverse visual contents from paragraph 1?ASpecial sensors detecting colors.BA unique way for color reflection.CAdvanced software for image generation.DPi

30、xels of three primary colors in combination.29What can we learn about digital scent from paragraph 2?AIt is created by using cartridges.BIts a fully-developed technology.CIt comes from the same cartridges.DIt is related to images on mobile phones.30What is one of the troubles scientists face when de

31、veloping digital scent technology?ACreating new scents that dont exist in nature.BCombining all primary colors to produce one smell.CRegulating the strength and duration of scents.DFinding a way to emit scents that last for a long time.31What is the main idea of the text?AA comparison between image

32、combination and smell production.BThe development and challenges of digital scent technology.CThe advantages of updating a phone that can display images.DThe history and future of complex phone technology.In recent years the production of blades (叶片) for wind turbines (风力涡轮机) has undergone a revolut

33、ion, as it were. As turbine output is related to the square of blade length, this has also increased how much power can be produced. But theres a hitch. Todays longest blades have become too big to be delivered to inland wind farms. They can be taken only by ship to offshore sites, where building co

34、sts are far higher. Logistics specialists have consequently been raising their game. Trucks with “blade-lifter” hydraulics (液压装置) can rotate (旋转) their load to reduce displacement on turns, a useful trick in hilly places without overhead obstacles. The past decade has also seen the development of hi

35、ghly accurate “swept path analysis” software. Fed with a digital model of a transport corridor, tree branches included, the software reveals to within a few centimetres if a blade could get through. For all that, problems still arise. During the many months it can take to secure transport permits, t

36、rees grow and new obstacles are often created. Producing the blades on site has so far proved impractical. In addition to introducing potential failure points, the joints are expensive and heavy. They also reduce wind-harnessing surface area by about 15%. One idea is to 3D-print blades at wind farms

37、. A Silicon Valley firm has $1.3m in funding. If all goes well, the company hopes to produce a 50-metre blade in late 2025. 3D-printed blades of 100 metres could follow by 2028. The boss of the firm estimates on-site printing would cut developers total cost for blades by a quarter. The wind power in

38、dustry spends an astonishing 7% or so of its capital expenditures on moving blades. Even expensive, long-shot attempts to find a better way, then, could prove worth the effort.32What does the underlined word “hitch” in paragraph 2 mean?AImprovement.BAdvantage.CChallenge.DDisorder.33How were the wind

39、 turbines transported in the past?ABy using trucks with special devices to change the position of turbines.BBy reducing the load of the trucks to make turns.CBy applying software to the big trees detection.DBy making digital models of the large blades.34What is the suggestion about addressing the tr

40、ansportation of turbine blades?APrinting the blades on-site at wind farms.BUsing lighter materials to produce the blades.CIncreasing the number of transport permits.DReducing the length of the turbine blades.35What is the authors attitude to the efforts to improve the transportation of blades?AAmbig

41、uous.BSupportive.CCautious.DDoubtful.Everyone wants to feel more attractive. You can start feeling more attractive by working on your thoughts or changing your looks. Changing the way you think about yourself can help you feel attractive and confident. 36 Do you find yourself being overly critical o

42、f every move you make? Replace critical thoughts with ones that strengthen a positive self-image. When you find yourself in the middle of a negative thought, stop the thought in its tracks. Focus on your best features. Everyone has good features. 37 If you have pretty eyes, for example, play them up

43、 with some tasteful eye makeup. When you re feeling unattractive, remind yourself of how muscular your calves (小腿肚) are or how sparkling your skin looks. Avoid comparing yourself with others. 38 Thats because you focus on the best things about someone else and the worst things about yourself, making

44、 you come out at the bottom every time. Youll end up setting unrealistic standards for yourself. However, these comparisons are not reality, so dont let them seep into your mind. Instead, focus on what makes you unique and amazing. Schedule time for yourself. Its easy to get caught up in everyone el

45、ses schedules and take little time to do the things that make you feel attractive. 39 For example, try getting a massage, taking a long bath, or going out on a hike. No matter how you choose to spend your me-time, make sure you re doing something that is important to you. Make yourself smile or laug

46、h. Smiling or laughing, even when its forced, has been proven to improve your mood. Leave yourself friendly notes reminding you to take a smile or laugh break. 40 ARemove negative self-talk.BWrite down negative self-talk in a journal.CComparisons always leave you feeling down.DOver time, youll start

47、 to feel better about yourself by doing this.EGetting away from sources of negativity can help boost your self-respect.FFocusing on yours can help build confidence and make you feel more attractive.GPrioritize me-time and invest some energy in your appearance and mental health.三、完形填空One hot summer day, a young man approached our door, selling services we didnt need. His face was red, and his shirt was stuck to his back with sweat. “Would you be interested in. . . ” he began, but I 41 , “Do you have any water? ”He hesitated, then pulled out
