9、a very pressing concern: did anyone grab her baseball cards?No one had. With a houseful of kids and dogs and a farms worth of horses to withdraw, the family forgot the cards during the stress. Naturally, the big San Francisco Giants fan was upset. When she watched the Giants on TV, she would lay out
10、 each players card on the floor in his corresponding field position. “I like baseball cards because they are pictures of people doing happy stuffdoing what they love, and what I love.” said Reese.Reeses loss touched the hearts of the Fresno County fire department, which posted her story on its Faceb
11、ook page with a request to help Reese restore her baseball card collection. That, in turn, touched the heart of Kevin Ashford.Ashford knew exactly where Reese could find replacement cards: in his garage. He had more than 25,000 in his collection, with an exact value of $35,000 to $50,000. Ashford ha
12、d been thinking about selling them when he saw the fire departments post. “I wasnt really doing anything with them,” said Ashford, “I thought I could take care of this problem rather quickly.”First volunteers transported the cards from Ashfords garage to theirs and then surprised Reese during a tour
13、 of the firehouse. Towers of Ashfords cards were piled in front of the fire engine. After thanking Ashford, Reese was quick to share the thousands of baseball cards she received from Ashford and donors around the country with other kids affected by Californias Creek Fire.Shes gotten so many, in fact

17、r adventures with a wild common octopus documented in the film My Octopus Teacher.The Netflix film shows the bond that develops between Foster and the eight-legged creature during a year of diving in a kelp forest in the Atlantic Ocean. It won this years Academy Award and British Academy Film and Te
18、levision Arts Award for best documentary.My Octopus Teacher has captured hearts worldwide because few of the many wonderful natural-history films are about a humans relationship with the wild. “I think people around the world are longing to have some kind of real connection with the natural world, a
19、nd this film speaks to that need,” Foster said.He said he had many such experiences with nature, like having a fish swim into his hand or an otter swim with him and reach out and touch him. Still, he said, these strong bonds werent easily created often requiring years of tireless efforts. And he sai
20、d he learned many lessons from the San masters, native people of South Africas Kalahari region. “They taught me to track on land and to look for signs. I applied those same lessons to looking in the water,” he said, “Tracking involves knowing the animals well and recognizing their behavior and movem
21、ents.”Observing his special octopus, part of a species known for its intelligence, has been a life-changing experience for Foster. One of the most remarkable moments was when the creature that initially hid in cracks allowed him to join her on a hunting expedition. How does Foster account for this?
22、“When the same animal interacts with you every day over a long period of time, you can assume that there is trust involved.”Foster said he learned that you cant force this trust. “Everything must happen at the animals pace, comfort and convenience. In their eyes, we are big and aggressive, posing a
23、threat to them. They make themselves vulnerable in allowing us into their space because trusting the wrong human could mean death. So its an immense privilege when they show trust.”8Why is My Octopus Teacher well-received?AIt shows adventures with a wild octopus.BIt meets the need of natural-history

26、major new facility to pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere started operating in Iceland on Wednesday. The carbon capturing plant is the biggest of its kind, its builder says, increasing global capacity for the technology by more than 40 percent. Many climate experts say that efforts to suck CO2
27、 out of the air will be key to making the world carbon neutral(碳中和)in the coming decades.By 2050, humanity will need to pull nearly a billion metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year through direct air capture technology to achieve carbon neutral goals according to International Energy Agen
28、cy recommendations in 2021. The plant in Iceland will be able to capture 4,000 metric tons annuallyjust a tiny amount of what will be necessary, but it can grow rapidly as efficiency improves and costs decrease.For now, the plant in Iceland is an unlikely global protector. Human-sized fans are built
29、 into boxes that are the size of standard 40-foot shipping containers. They sip CO2 out of the air, catching it in sponge-like filters(过滤器). The filters are heated at a high temperature needed to boil water freeing the gas. Then it combines with water to produce a mixture, which is pumped deep under
30、ground, where over time it cools down and turns into dark-gray stone.Pumping CO2 into the ground is just one way to dispose of it. It can also go to other uses, as well. Energy companies can mix the carbon dioxide with hydrogen to make fuel. Farmers can feed their plants with it. Soda manufacturers
31、can use it to make their drinks bubble when there is a carbonation shortage.At the moment, the costs are high: about $600 to $800 per metric ton of carbon dioxide, Gebald, the cofounder of Climeworks, said far from the levels around $100 to $150 per ton that are necessary to turn a profit without an
32、y financial help of the government. In the long term, Gebald thinks prices will be half that by the late 2030sabout the price where it will be a competitive method of reducing global emissions.12Why is the new facility built in Iceland?ATo monitor the air quality.BTo control the release of CO2.CTo a
33、pply the latest technology.DTo absorb CO2 in the atmosphere.13What is the main idea of the second paragraph?AThe capacity of the carbon plant.BThe potential of the carbon plant.CThe challenge of the carbon plant.DThe disadvantage of the carbon plant.14What does the underlined word it refer to in the
34、 third paragraph?AMixture.BWater.CCO2.DTemperature.15Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo persuade people to invest in the plant.BTo warn people of too much CO2 in the air.CTo introduce the biggest carbon capturing plant.DTo explain how to use CO2 in the atmosphere.二、七选五Capture Spirit o
