21、received a little toy airliner as a birthday gift, Kate Koralevskaya has been attracted by flight.From flying remote-controlled airplanes to building her own model ones, Kate has always considered flying a plane one of her passions, but only until recently has she been able to take that to new heigh
22、ts. When Kate heard about the Upwind Scholarship from her school counselor, she knew it was in extraordinary opportunity to realize her dream.The programs mission is to provide all the training necessary to obtain a private pilots license (PPL) for students in between their junior and senior year of
23、 high school free of charge. After completing a lengthy application and her subsequent acceptance into the program, Kate began her training last spring.Normally, recipients of the scholarship would attend ground school in person where they learn the fundamentals of flying.Due to the pandemic (大流行病),
24、 however, Kate spent hours each weekend studying online lessons in her room whenever she got a break from homework.Once summer came around, Kate and three peers put in two straight weeks of ground school, reviewing fight training from nine to five every day.It was the toughest part of the program, K

31、rs at UNSW Sydney have found a way to make green ammonia (氨) from air, water and renewable electricity.In a paper published in Energy and Environmental Science, the authors say that ammonia synthesis (合成法) was one of the critical achievements of the 20 th century.When used in fusiliers that signific
32、antly increase the output of food crops,it enabled agriculture to sustain an ever-expanding global population. But since the beginning of the 1900s when it was first employed, production of ammonia has been energy intensive- requiring temperatures higher than 400and pressures greater than 200atm-and
33、 all powered by fossil fuels.Dr.Emma Lovell, a co author on the paper from UNSW,says the traditional way to make ammonia- known as the Haber- Bosch process- is only cost-effective when it is produced on a massive scale due to the huge amounts of energy and expensive materials required and it produce
34、s more CO2than any other chemical-making reaction. “In addition to the big carbon footprint left by the Haber Bosch process, having to produce millions of tons of ammonia in centralised locations means even more energy is required to transport it around the world, not to mention the risks that go wi
35、th storing large amounts of it in the one place,”says Dr.Lovell.“And we saw tragically in Beirut recently how potentially dangerous storing ammonium nitrate (硝酸盐) can be.” Dr.Lovell and her colleagues therefore looked at how to produce it cheaply, on a smaller scale and using renewable energy.Their
36、new production method does not rely on fossil fuel resources, nor give of CO2. “And once it becomes available commercially, the technology could be used to produce ammonia directly on site and on demand- farmers could even do this on location using our technology to make fertilisers- which means we
37、negate the need for storage and transport Theres a huge benefit to society as well as the health of the planet,”Dr.Lovell says. 28.What do we know about the Haver-Bosch process? A.It does harm to the earth. B.It requires green materials. C.It uses less energy and is cheap. D.It transforms fossil fue

40、 (地壳) deep beneath the ocean：Fin whales.New research, published Thursday in Science, finds these Fin whale calls sound waves can help create images of the seafloor down to 2.5 kilometers. Seafloor imaging, which is important for studying things like earthquake mechanics and carbon storage capacity,
41、typically uses large air guns that send waves of sound downwards.The sound waves go through the crust and bounce back to instruments on the seafloor, carrying information about the structures they travel through.But such surveys are expensive, and the guns explosive noise may interrupt sea creatures
42、 that use sound lo communicate. Vaclav Kuna, the study co-author, was studying earthquakes when he noticed strange readings on the seafloor seismic (地震的) instruments, which turned out to match the frequencies of fin whale calls.Whale songs often appear in such instruments records, says Emily Roland,
43、 a marine seismologist at the University of Washington.Seismologists usually see these signals as annoyance.Kuna, however, noticed that the signals were not coming directly from the whales, but were echoes(回声) bouncing back from within the crust. This technique does have limitations, Kuna says.Fin w
44、hale songs are limited in frequency,meaning the subsurface images are not as clear as those made with air guns.Additionally, a relatively flat seafloor is needed to triangulate (作三角测量) the whales positions while multiple stations would be needed in uneven or mountainous regions, he adds. Nevertheles
45、s, these whales are found almost everywhere except the ice-covered areas of the Arctic.The whale calls wide existence means they could provide new insight into old seismic datasets, Roland says. “At least the whale songs can serve as an additional source of signals.They are free and they are always
46、there,”Kuna says.“Its a win-win.” 32.What do we know about seafloor imaging in Paragraph 2? A.It may affect some sea animals. B.It can help predict earthquakes. C.It is nod completely accurate. D.It is environmentally-friendly. 33.What can we infer about fin whale calls? A.They can help scientists t
47、o locate their habitats. B.They ares easy to record and measure in the ocean. C.They are likely to be used for seafloor imaging. D.They have different frequencies among fin whales. 34.What is the potential use of fin whale songs? A.Conveying messages between whales. B.Working as an extra source of s
