18、 her that was kind of a crazy thing because most people didnt run marathons on their treadmill in their basement. She thought she should let other people know about it. So. on Aug. 23. her run was li vest reamed （直播）on Zoom and posted on YouTube. That day, the 32-year-old woman wore a US flag scarf
19、and ran next to statues of St. Francis Assisi and the Virgin Mary. She got the smiles from high school and college friends and family members who suddenly came out on a screen and cheered her on.The last 30 minutes, though, were exhausting. The final push came from a surprise onscreen appearance by
20、Deena Kastor, the 2004 Olympic bronze medalist, who was Baligas childhood hero, which distracted her from the pain.Baliga also submitted her time of 3 hours and 33 minutes to Guinness World Records for timed treadmill marathon. The only reason why she was able to do it was that no one had ever done

25、here are various pathways for professionals to cam an MBA qualification. SMBA is designed for people who cant apply for MBA because of the age. Both Executive MBA (EMBA) and Professional MBA (PMBA) programmes are specifically designed for working professionals who plan to juggle both studies and car
26、eers at the same time.Most EMBA programmes include courses on leadership and are ideal if you are thinking of making your way into a leadership role. Additionally, an EMBA applicant generally has more extensive work experience ranging anywhere from 10 to 15 years, significantly more than a typical P
27、MBA applicant.PMBA programmes arc built for working professionals who do not have significant prior business leadership experience and this is reflected in the programme content itself. A PMBA course structure provides introductory subjects for students. For instance, a PMBA programme might include
28、an Introduction to Financial Accounting course. An EMBA programme. on the other hand, would incorporate an Advanced Financial Accounting course, as it is designed for a more mature professional.Based on the Financial Times Global Executive MBA Ranking of the best 100 programmes worldwide, the gap in
29、 average salaries between EMBA and MBA graduates is $220,000 for the former and $ 146,000 for the latten Additionally. EMBA graduates also report a salary increase of up to 59%, These numbers add up, considering that the programme is suitable for experienced professionals looking to climb up the car

34、MBA.31. How does the author mainly develop the text?A. By giving examples.B. By listing data.C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining reasons.DThe share of energy from renewable sources is constantly on the rise in Germany. At the beginning of 2020 renewable energy was able to cover more than half
35、 of the electricity consumed in Germany. But the more important renewable energy sources become, the more urgent it is to store the electricity produced in this way. To achieve this, suitable energy storage devices arc essential. Researchers have recently developed a new battery, which is flexible,
36、efficient, and environmentally friendly.The new material developed by the Jena chemists is used in so-called redox （氧化还原） flow batteries. In this type of battery, the energy-storing components are broken down and can therefore be stored at a decentralized （分散的）location which allows the battery to be
37、 scaled as required, from a few milliliters to several cubic meters of electrolyte （电解质）solution, says Prof Dr. Ulrich S. Schubert in the Friedrich Schiller University.Thanks to this flexibility, redox flow batteries generally have a great potential to become an important means of energy storage in
38、the future. However, they had two weaknesses that prevented their widespread use. The first was the frequent usage of environmentally harmful and poisonous heavy metal salts. The other problem was the restriction of the batteries to a maximum working temperature of 40 . which necessitated the usage
39、of a detailed cooling system. Luckily, scientists found a new material. With the help of the new material, these two problems have been solved.This means that electricity can be stored in a harmless, water-based solution, which is then stored temporarily in tanks, and the electricity in the battery
40、can be used again the next day without significant losses or additional effort. Systems of this kind can also be used in warmer regions, such as Africa, India or Brazil, By improving the energy storage medium, we believe that the redox flow battery is once again in a good position to make an importa

44、处的最佳选项.选项中行两项为多余 选项。Lightweight plastic carrier bags become waste more quickly and easy to litter. Littering of plastic carrier bags results in environmental pollution and worsens the widespread problem of litter in water bodies, threatening eco-systems worldwide. Here are some tips on reducing your
45、 plastic consumption.Switch to natural products. 36 Compared with plastic containers, they wont release plastic particles that ultimately make their way into the seas. Switching to shampoo and soap bars rather than using liquid soaps sold in a plastic single-use bottle is another good way to reduce
46、the plastics in your bathroom.37 Take your own recyclable coffee cup when you next order a drink. Though some coffee chains still use plastic straws, lids, cups and plastic cutlery, you can carry a refillable water bottle is another easy way to reduce plastic usage over buying single-use plastic wat

When you do your weekly shop from a supermarket, choose things that are not packaged in plastic. 39 Buy fresh and raw ingredients loose from shelves and cook your own meals. Consider ordering vegetable boxes from local farms and organic suppliers. They deliver fresh seasonal food plastic-free.Avoid synthetic （合成的）fibres. 40 Many of our clothes are made from plastics such as polyester （聚酯）and acrylic （晴纶）.Synthetic fibres fall off in washing machines and enter the water course, settle on s
