For its third consecutive (连续的) year, the Blanton Museum of Art in Texas hosted its Great Blanton Bake-Off, and 16 bakers delivered on the challenge to recreate any of the works from Italian Renaissance paintings to Latin American prints, in the Blantons collections, in cak
8、e form.Lizabel Stella, the museums digital content manager, came up with the Bake-Off idea at the outset of the Covid-19 pandemic, when the museum had to temporarily close for three months. Stella, like many in lockdown, noticed that many people were turning to baking as a curative and fun activity.
9、“I was thinking, people cant come to the museum, and people love baking. How can I combine these together?” Stella said, “Art can be quite conceptual. And baking is tangible so, in a way, its a different way to consume art.”To participate in this years competition, bakers accessed the museums online
10、 catalog (目录) to select an artwork to reimagine. Then, contestants had to upload photos of their creations to Facebook by May 15. The museum shared the cakes with the public on World Baking Day (May 17) through social media stories, and the “virtual audience” had 24 hours to vote for their favorites
11、. The winner of each category received gift cards from local bakery.“At the heart, the Bake-Off is about having fun. Were going through a lot of hard things, such as lockdown. Its important to remember that its okay to take a break not to ignore the things that are happening, but to make time for th

14、To promote the museums business.DTo highlight the healing power of bakery.Imagine driving behind a huge truck shooting clouds of smoke into the air while your new fully electric vehicle cleans up its carbon emissions (排放). This dream may soon be a reality. A team of students in the Netherlands has c
15、reated an electric car that not only doesnt produce carbon dioxide when driving, but actually pulls it out of the air.The two-seater sports car was designed and built in less than a year by a team of 32 students at Eindhoven University of Technology. Called “ZEM”, which stands for “zero emission mob
16、ility”, the car is equipped with special devices that remove carbon dioxide from the air as it drives. The team says if ZEM is driven about 32,000 kilometers, it can remove 2 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the air. Thats not a huge amount. The team calculates that 10 ZEM cars on the road for a yea
17、r would remove as much carbon dioxide as a typical tree does during that time. However, they also point out that there are over a billion passenger cars in the world that could be using this technology. And if a billion cars were removing carbon dioxide instead of producing it, the result would be h
18、uge.ZEM also has several other innovations that help to make it more capable of being sustained: the cars frame and panels (面板) are 3D printed to reduce waste; it was built using recycled and recyclable materials; and it can be easily taken apart so that many of its parts can be reused. ZEMs battery
19、 is also reusable, and has another handy feature: it can be charged with solar panels on the cars roofand can even be used to provide power to your house when the car isnt on the road.According to the statistics, transportation was responsible for over 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2020a
20、nd of those emissions, cars were responsible for 41%. The Eindhoven team says its goal is to challenge the electric car industry: If 32 students can build a car like this in less than a year, then surely car manufacturers (生产商) are expected to adopt these innovations, too.8What is special about ZEM?
21、AIt can end the worlds CO2 release.BIt can cut the trucks CO2 emissions.CIt can reduce the level of CO2 in the air.DIt can absorb dirty air as well as CO2.9Why does the team run the calculation of ZEM in paragraph 2?ATo demonstrate a superb vision of ZEM cars.BTo explain how ZEM removes CO2 as trees

Theres a lot of evide

Elephants have complicated social structures and deep family bonds. Because orphaned elephants in the same region die at a higher rate than ele
25、phants with living mothers, it seemed like a no-brainer that surviving orphans would be stressed out.The team, however, made an unexpected finding: There really wasnt a difference in the stress hormone (荷尔蒙) levels of orphaned and non-orphaned elephants, as long as they lived with family members, su

Elephants even the orphans that lived in groups with fellows of their own age turned out to be under less stress than those that didnt.Parker recalls two orphans in the study, Frida and Rothko. “Frida had a non-functional left ear and Rothko had a non-f
27、unctional right ear,” and they were inseparable, she says. “It was as though they had at least one good set of ears as long as they were together!” The findings also fit with previous social research in African elephants, Parker says. “Orphans increase interaction with their age mates after their mo
28、thers death.” She notes that dominance is structured by age in elephants: Older elephants may outrank younger elephants when it comes to food, for example, but elephants of the same age are generally equals.With human-wildlife conflict and drought threats to elephants in the region, the findings pub

This information could also help recovery facilities that take in orphaned elephants set the animals up for a successful future in the wild releasing them in large g
