The Internet' s carbon footprint is as bad as air travel. While it is difficult to measure precisely, estimates place it at over two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions(排放)—the same as the air travel.
Information may appear to spread around the world unseen to our eyes, but it actually passes through enormous data centers placed strategically about the globe, which store, organize and deliver everyone' s data. These centers are extremely energy intensive. In the EU, they consume close to three percent of its total energy usage and also require lots of water to prevent their computers from overheating. In the US, about a fifth of data centers draw water from already stressed water sources.
A typical spam email(垃圾邮件)emits around 0.03g of CO2 emissions, though longer messages read on a laptop can go all the way up to 26g. Now multiply that by 333 billion(roughly the number of emails that get sent every day in 2022). That puts all those work emails into perspective. One study found if every British adult sent one less " thank you" email a day, it would save 16, 433 tons of carbon a year. It even predicted that the ICT industry could account for up to a fifth of the world' s energy consumption by 2025.
However, there are measures that we can take to reduce our digital carbon footprint. For instance, you can unsubscribe from marketing and other spam emails and only subscribe to newsletters that you still regularly read. Have regular data checks where you delete old contact lists and other documents that no longer have any use. Keep a clean inbox and delete emails you no longer need.
(1)、Why does the author make a comparison in the beginning?A、To present the digital carbon footprint. B、To emphasize the importance of air travel. C、To advise people not to travel by airplane. D、To inform the disadvantages of the Internet.(2)、What can we infer about data centers?A、It enjoys a wide popularity. B、It has various kinds of functions. C、It causes large energy consumption. D、It has quite a complex mode of operation.(3)、What' s the purpose of mentioning the figures in Paragraph 3?A、To draw the readers' attention. B、It has various kinds of functions. C、It causes large energy consumption. D、It has quite a complex mode of operation.(4)、What' s the author' s attitude towards reducing digital carbon footprint?A、Neutral. B、Optimistic. C、Unfavorable. D、Concerned. -

The tea that has delighted and fascinated the world for thousands of years has finally received top-level global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. China' s traditional tea-making was added on Tuesday to the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.
The traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China consist of knowledge, skills and practices concerning the management of tea plantations, picking of tea leaves, manual(手工的)processing, drinking and sharing of tea. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six categories of tea: green, yellow, dark, white, oolong and black teas. Together with reprocessed teas, such as flower-scented teas, there are over 2, 000 tea products in China.
Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influence the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes. Tea is ubiquitous in Chinese people' s daily life, as steeped(浸泡)or boiled tea is served in families, workplaces, tea houses, restaurants and temples, etc. It is also an important part of socialization and ceremonies such as weddings and sacrifices. The practice of greeting guests and building relationships within families and among neighbors through tea- related activities is common to multiple ethnic groups, providing a sense of shared identity and continuity for the communities.
In China, 44 registered national-level intangible cultural heritage entries are related to tea. There are over 40 vocational colleges and 80 universities that have set up majors in tea science or tea culture, resulting in over 3, 000 graduates specializing in tea production and art every year, according to the ministry.
China now has 43 items on the intangible cultural heritage list, continuing to be the most enlisted country in the world.
(1)、What can be learnt from the passage?A、Chinese producers developed 44 categories of tea. B、Tea is quite popular with people all over the country. C、More than 2, 000 tea products could be found in China. D、There' re about 300 graduates specializing in tea production every year.(2)、What does the underlined word " ubiquitous" probably mean?A、rare B、common C、temporary D、available(3)、How does the author emphasize the promotion of tea culture in Paragraph 4?A、By listing figures. B、By making definitions. C、By giving examples. D、By making comparisons.(4)、In which kind of book may this text appear?A、A textbook. B、A travel journal. C、A story book. D、A cultural magazine. -

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. "The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about." He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, "I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike."
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents. I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years. I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn't break my piggy hank for anything. Bat one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150词左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning. I took out my piggy bank and shook it.

So much of our daily life relates to the internet, from work to education and even talking with friends. The more online accounts and devices you have, the more internet dangers you will face. That's why it's more important to understand internet safety rules which protect you and your family from threats that may harm your data and devices. .
Make sure you're using a safe internet connection
Although using public Wi-Fi is not recommended, it's sometimes unavoidable when you are out. However, when you go online in a public place and use a public Wi-Fi connection, your computer will be easily attacked. .
Choose strong passwords(密码)
Passwords are one of the biggest weak spots when it comes to online safety. People often choose passwords that are easy to remember. . In addition to this, using the same password for various sites puts your data at further risk. If cyber criminals get your identification from one site, they can probably access other websites which use the same password.
Developers are often working to make products safe, monitoring the latest threats and rolling out security patches(安全补丁) in case of weaknesses in their software. By using the updated operating systems and apps, you will benefit from the latest security patches. This is especially important for apps that include payment, health or other personal information about a user.
Be careful of uncertain links and where you click
. That's why it's important to be careful and avoid certain types of online content—such as links from untrusted sources. If you receive an email that you're not sure about, avoid clicking on any links in it. In fact, it's best to avoid opening untrusted emails at all.
A.Be careful of what and where you post
B.Keep software and operating systems updated
C.Read on to find out about the ways to stay safe online
D.A careless click can give out your personal data online
E.But some of those sites may have poor data protection policies
F.Therefore, it's easy for cyber criminals to break into your system
G.So, if necessary, avoid carrying out personal businesses that use private data

Along with a rising number of space missions by government agencies and private industries, comes a fresh set of problems for Earth: potentially dangerous space junk (太空垃圾).
A recent study published in the scientific journal Nature Astronomy concluded "that current space practices have a 10 percent chance of one or more deaths over a decade". In other words, according to researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia, there's roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk kill someone.
The space junk orbiting the earth is an unfortunate by-product of our desire to explore and document space. According to 2021 figures from NASA and the Department of Defense's Space Surveillance Data, the agencies were actively tracking more than 27,000 pieces of space junk, most of which are larger than a softball and that casually orbit the planet. The floating space junk is certainly a problem, but not all the objects must come down, and, in fact, a number of pieces simply burn up in the atmosphere. Sometimes those objects, particularly large ones like used rocket attachments, give in to gravity and fall back down to Earth to be dealt with once again by their human makers. But typically, people don't die or even get injured by this phenomenon — because many of the falling pieces crash into the ocean.
They also have to deal with the unsettling feeling of knowing that large rocket pieces can just fall from the sky and that it might affect people in certain parts of the world more than others.
This poses an obvious safety risk to people on the ground. "When some large parts of space junk return to Earth, the parts of their mass survive the heat of atmosphere. Many of the surviving pieces are potentially dangerous, giving serious risks on land, at sea, and to people in airplanes," the study explains.
(1)、What is the conclusion of the study published in Nature Astronomy?A、People will see space junk easily in the future. B、Some people may be hit to death by objects from the space. C、Government agencies and private industries will develop fast. D、There will be a 10 percent chance for human to die in 10 years.(2)、What can be inferred from the third paragraph?A、Normally we should not worry about space junk. B、All the space junk will get burnt in the sky. C、The large space junk will destroy the ocean. D、The floating space junk will come down finally.(3)、What might be discussed in the following part of the text?A、How to find space junk. B、How to deal with space junk. C、How to check the space junk. D、How to inform people of the danger.(4)、Which is the most suitable title for the text?A、Space Junk Causes Pollution B、How to Take Back Space Junk C、Space Junk Puts People at Risk D、Exploring Space Takes in Unfortunate Results -

Children whose minds wander might have sharper brains, a research suggests.
A study has found that people who appear to be often distracted have more "working memory", giving them the ability to hold a lot of information in their heads and manipulate (操作) it mentally.
Children at school need this type of memory on a daily basis for a variety of tasks, such as following teachers' instructions or remembering sentences.
During the study, volunteers were asked to perform one of two simple tasks, during which, researchers checked if their minds were wandering.
At the end, the volunteer participants measured their own working memory capacity by their ability to remember a series of letters interspersed (插入) with simple maths questions.
Professor Daniel Levinson said that those with higher working memory capacity reported "more mind wandering during these simple tasks", but their performance did not suffer.
The results, published online in the journal, Psychological Science, appear to confirm former research that found working memory allows humans to deal with multiple thoughts simultaneously (同时地).
Dr Jonathan Smallwood said, "What this study seems to suggest is that, when the task isn't very difficult, people who have additional working memory resources use them to think about other things besides what they're doing."
Working memory capacity is also associated with general measures of intelligence, such as reading comprehension and IQ scores.
Dr Smallwood added: "Our results suggest the sorts of planning that people do quite often in daily life –– when they are on the bus, when they are cycling to work, when they are in the shower –– are probably supported by working memory?"
"Their brains are trying to allocate (分配) resources to the most pressing problems."
(1)、What does the study show according to the text?A、People whose mind wanders often have lower work efficiency. B、Children whose mind wanders might have a good memory. C、Naughty children's mind wanders more often than that of other children. D、Children whose mind often wanders are good at solving difficult problems.(2)、During the study, what did the researchers ask the volunteers to do?A、Carry out one simple task. B、Retell some dictated sentences. C、Follow the teacher's instructions. D、Solve some difficult maths problems.(3)、What does the underlined word, "multiple", in the seventh paragraph, mean?A、Simple. B、Related. C、Several. D、Changing.(4)、According to the text, when will the minds of people be more likely to wander?A、When they feel nervous. B、When they are in a good mood. C、When they find it easy to do a task. D、When they are not limited to a given time. -

Shaping, drying, glazing and firing... in less than 5 minutes, a mini vase only millimeters in size starts to take shape as viewers watch on. As the founder of a miniature ceramics (微型陶瓷) studio, Wang Wenhua never expected that his works would surprise viewers in China, let alone those abroad, and that his short videos would earn over 45 million views and 4.2 million likes on a video application.
Having worked in China's "Porcelain Capital (瓷都)" Jingdezhen in East China's Jiangxi Province for 14 years, Wang said he had once seen the world's biggest ceramic here but he had never seen the smallest, so he decided one day to try something different — making micro porcelain.
Things were not easy in the beginning, and many people doubted him. "They called me crazy and mocked me when I went to factories and asked them to help make miniature tools for me to create micro pottery. Even my wife did not support me," Wang said.
However, Wang did not give up and after about half a year of experimentation, Wang finally made miniature tools on his own and was able to complete his first miniature porcelain — a vase.
According to Wang, the key to making a miniature ceramic work is concentration and a pair of steady hands. After numerous attempts, Wang found that the smallest works he could get were about 2 millimeters in size. "It would probably miss my original intention if I made micro pottery using a microscope, so I have focused more attention on making the smaller pieces more beautiful and complex," said Wang.
The smallest vase that Wang has made is a bowl only 2 millimeters tall, 3 millimeters wide and 1 millimeter thick. Wang says he plans to apply for the Guinness World Records for the world's smallest pottery work.
(1)、What inspired Wang Wenhua to make micro porcelain?A、The high expectations of the viewers. B、The popularity of his videos on a video application. C、His decision to make something different. D、The responsibility of the founder of the studio.(2)、Which words can best describe Wang Wenhua?A、Generous and wise. B、Brilliant and wealthy. C、Talented and selfish. D、Determined and focused.(3)、What plays a significant role in Wang producing a miniature ceramic work?A、Using a microscope in his work. B、Advanced tools made by himself. C、Carrying out numerous experiments. D、Attention on a thing and steady hands.(4)、In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A、Fashion. B、Art. C、Education. D、Psychology. -
