1、Accurate carbon tracking is critical for fighting climate change, yet traditional methods lack reliability due to systemic weaknesses. Companies self-report energy use and supply chains — process likely to involve human errors and intentional mis reporting. A 2023 bun study found 34 % of industrial carbon records had errors, like an Indonesian palm oil factory over reporting emissions by 21 % due to calculation mistakes.
Block chain technology, a secure and distributed digital system, offers effective solutions to these problems through three key approaches:
Shared Data Confirmation
Internet-connected sensors installed in factories and transport vehicle automatically record real-time emission data. In Argentina, a biofuel plant reduced carbon leaks by 37 % after adopting sensors that check gas levels every 15 minutes. The collected data is instantly shared across a block chain network.
Secure Records
Confirmed data is stored in digital units arranged by time order, which cannot be changed. During a 2025 official check in Malaysia, a rubber factory's carbon emission reports showed almost the same results as expert tests (difference below 0. 2 %). This accuracy came from Blockchain's automatic time records and data that cannot be edited, making the information trust worthy for years.
Automatic Rule Checks
Pre-programmed digital rules enforce emission limits. When a Philippine electronics factory exceeded its carbon quota by 14 % in 2024, block chain systems immediately suspended its export permits. The factory was required to purchase confirmed carbon credits within 36 hours to continue operations.
A multinational textile group reduced reporting errors by 72 % across 18 countries using block chain. Farmers in Bangladesh now share remotely checked water usage data, while factories in Vietnam track energy consumption with smart sensors. Inspectors can access standardized reports through block chain system, cutting inspection time from 25 days to 45 hours — a 64 % efficiency improvement.
Initial setup costs average $200, 000 per factory, but global environmental programs offer financial support to small businesses. Training remains a major challenge: 48 % of factory managers lack block chain operational skills. Despite these difficulties, 90 % of major economies plan to require block chain-based carbon reporting by 2028. Experts predict block chain will transform carbon management from government duty into a strategic advantage for sustainable businesses worldwide. Personally, blank chain will become the global standard for emission tracking within the next decade.
(1)、What is the primary issue with traditional carbon reporting?A、Human-related data in accuracies. B、Frequent equipment breakdowns. C、Lack of financial support. D、Over use of advanced technology.(2)、What can be inferred from the Malaysian rubber factory example?A、Block chain works best in large industries. B、Block chain re moves third-party checks. C、Block chain standardized cross-border reporting. D、Block chain ensured highly accurate data.(3)、What is probably the author's attitude to the blockchain's future challenge?A、Critical. B、Objective. C、Optimistic. D、Indifferent.(4)、Which title best summarized the passage?A、Blockchain: The High Costs of Modern Technology. B、Blockchain: Transforming Carbon Data Reliability. C、Blockchain: Old as New Energy Reporting Systems. D、Blockchain: Government Strategies for Climate issued. -
2、In today's interconnected world, cross-cultural communication has emerged as a vital skill for fostering international cooperation and social harmony. Britain, with its centuries-old history of absorbing diverse influences and its current multicultural landscape, serves as an ideal example of how tradition and modernity can coexist to bridge cultural gaps.
The roots of British cultural adaptability trace back to ancient times. When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 BC, they not only established management systems but also constructed public facilities such as roads and Hadrian's Wall — a massive defensive structure marking the northern border of their empire. These innovations not only managed conflicts with Celtic tribe's but also laid the foundation for future cultural exchanges. Today, this legacy of blending old and new remains evident. For instance, the British Parliament maintains strict dress codes requiring formal suits and robed (长袍) during sessions, symbolizing respect for tradition. Meanwhile, modern Britain embraced literary festivals and experimental theater productions, reflecting its dynamic engagement with contemporary artistic expression.
However, navigating cultural differences remains challenging. In international business settings, British professionals often prioritize building trust through indirect communication and tea-break small talk, while their American counterparts favor straightforward discussions to get straight to the point. Research by the London Business School (2022) reveals that 68 % of cross-Atlantic negotiations face delays due to these contrasting styles. Americans may interpret British politeness as in decision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overlay focused only on business deals.
Language differences further test cultural sensitivity. A simple phrase like "I'll consider it" in British English often means a polite refusal, whereas Americans might take it literally as openness to further discussion. Even gestures differ: maintaining eye contact is seen as confident in the U. S. But may be viewed as aggressive in some British contexts.
To address these challenges, educational institutions play a key role. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge now offer courses such as "Global Communication Strategies," where students role-play negotiation scene's and analyze case studies of multinational corporations. Such training emphasized empathy, active listening, and adapting communication styles to diverse audiences. As globalization continued to erase borders, mastering these skills becomes not just beneficial but essential for building a more inclusive world.
(1)、What can be known about the purpose of the Romans building Hadrian's Wall?A、To establish trade routed with Celtic tribes. B、To mark the southern border of the Roman Empire. C、To showcase advanced architectural skills. D、To manage conflicts and control territory.(2)、What can be inferred about British and American negotiation style from Paragraph 3?A、Their differences may lead to misunderstandings. B、They both value long-term relationships equally. C、Americans prefer indirect communication. D、British negotiators focus on short-term gains.(3)、What does the word "impersonal" mean in the context of American negotiators?A、Friendly and emotional. B、Aggressive and rude. C、Emotionally distant and formal. D、Humorous and casual.(4)、What might the author discuss next regarding cross-cultural communication training?A、The history of Roman education systems. B、Specific methods used in university coursed. C、How technology replaces traditional teaching. D、Economic costs of cultural misunderstandings. -
3、On a chilly March morning, 16-year-old Mike stood at Willow Park's entrance, shocked by the scene before him. Plastic bags hung like worn flags from tree branches, rusty soda cans littered the ground, and a duck struggled to free its leg from a soda can ring. He immediately texted classmates: "Emergency clean up this Saturday! Our park needs us!" By noon, 18 students had joined "Operation Green Rescue".
Under a rainy sky, volunteers worked tirelessly. They sorted trash into color-coded bins — blue for glass, green for aluminum, and gray for non-recyclables. "Turtle eggs under these cans!" shouted Emma, uncovering a nest beneath debris. By dusk, they had cleared 237 pounds of waste, filling three pickup trucks. A local baker rewarded them with organic snacks, declaring, "You're revived our park!"
A week later, Mike's club screened Vanishing Forests, a documentary revealing rainforests disappearing at 30 football fields per minute. Maria wiped tears while apes held onto trees being cut down. "We must act," Mike urged. The club launched "Project Releaf" selling seed paper bookmarks and organizing "Bike-to-School Fridays" Funds planted 45 oak saplings. "These trees will strengthen the ecosystem by absorbing 200 pounds of carbon annually," their teacher explained.
Mike's toughest battle was cafeteria reform. Displaying jars of 1, 800 plastic forks collected monthly, he faced cost objections. "ego-cutlery costs 25 % more," the manager argued. Determined, Mike presented long-term savings charts. After six debates and 500 + signature, ego-friendly utensils (餐具) were approved. Plastic use dropped 78 %, earning the school a "Green Innovator" award and recognition for promoting sustainable practiced.
Today, families picnic under new trees with bamboo plates, while kids study recycling morals. Now an environmental science major, Mike reflects: "Sustainable change begins when ordinary people refuse to ignore one piece of trash." His story, carved on a park plague, inspires visitors daily.
(1)、What did volunteers do with aluminum cans during the clean up?A、Sold them to a recycling company. B、Placed them in green bins. C、Used them for art projects. D、Buried them in the park.(2)、What can be inferred about the documentary Vanishing Forests?A、It criticized government policies. B、It was filmed by the school club. C、It focused on ocean plastic pollution. D、It inspired empathy and practical actions.(3)、What does the cafeteria manager's initial reaction imply?A、They disliked student proposals. B、They lacked environmental knowledge. C、They valued short-term costs over long-term benefits. D、They opposed all changes.(4)、Which quality best described Mike's character?A、Persistent. B、Optimistic. C、Stubborn. D、Skeptical. -

15、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you're 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are a smile will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother's advice didn't work.
On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year old on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch? Who would I talk to? Not to mention how would I make friends when I didn't even speak the language? My heartbeat quickened and I felt nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others just how scared I truly was.
When the teacher introduced me to the class as the "American girl", 10 sets of hands immediately shot up. Some students had questions, and others wanted to practice their English with me. Because I didn't speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn't sure how much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren't sure what to make of me and I was being examined. Then again, who could blame them? After all I was the first American ever to attend the school. So essentially, we were all first timers.
注意: 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Then came the first class——Chinese painting.

19、We spend around a third of our lives sleeping. It is vital to our survival, but despite years of research, scientists still aren't entirely sure why we do it.
There have been many theories about why humans sleep, from a way to rest after the day's activities to simply a way to fill time until we can do something useful. . The body repairs itself just as well when we are sitting quietly. And we wouldn't need to catch up on sleep during the day if it were just to fill empty time at night. One of the major problems with sleep insufficiency is a resulting decline in cognitive (认知) ability.. We will find ourselves struggling with memory, learning, planning and reasoning.
A lack of sleep can actually have severe effects on our mood and performance of everyday tasks. Sleep can be divided into two broad stages: non-rapid eye movement (NREM), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. . When this is occurring, this is the time when we sleep the deepest. Without NREM sleep, our ability to form declarative memories, such as learning to associate pairs of words, can be seriously impaired. . It is also the time of peak growth hormone (荷尔蒙) release in the body. This stage is important for cell reproduction and repair.
. Some scientists argue that it allows our brains a safe place to practice dealing with situations or emotions that we might not encounter during our daily lives. Others think that it might be a way to unlearn memories, or to process unwanted feelings or emotions. However, no one knows the real answer.
A. The majority of our sleep is NREM.
B. The purpose of REM sleep is unclear.
C. But all of these ideas are somewhat imperfect.
D. Our brains just don't work properly without sleep.
E. Scientists managed to discover the secret of sleep.
F. People don't know the role NREM plays in improving our health.
G. Deep sleep is important for turning short-term memories into long-term storage.

20、None of us would like to believe that we are capable of evil. However, Zimbardo's Stanford prison experiment showed that we all have this potential. It all depends on the situation.
Phillip Zimbardo was a researcher at Stanford University. In 1972, he recruited (招募) 24 mentally healthy, male, college students for an experiment taking place in a fake (假的) prison in the basement of Stanford. These participants were randomly divided into 2 groups: prison guards and prisoners. The guards received a uniform and mirrored sunglasses to wear for the job. Then, after being sent home, the prisoners were publicly arrested at their homes on a Sunday morning. They were processed at a real police station before being transported to the ‘prison'.
No one could have predicted what would happen next. The guards weren't given any specific instructions on how to behave. Yet, very soon they began acting in extreme ways: they prevented prisoners from eating, took away their bedding, forced them to remove their clothes, and even punished them with chores such as cleaning toilets with their bare hands. As well as this, the prisoners were submitting to the guards - even though they knew that they hadn't actually done anything wrong and weren't even in a real prison!
After just thirty-six hours, a prisoner had to be removed from the study as he had sunk into a deep depression with fits of anger and uncontrollable crying. A few days later, other prisoners displayed similar symptoms. The guards also continued to abuse them. It was at this point that Zimbardo was told to stop the experiment. It was shut down after just six days.
This experiment demonstrates the power of the situation in influencing how we act. Good people, just like you or me, are capable of evil acts. However, the power of the situation doesn't always have to be bad: it can also be a force for good.
Of course, we could never repeat this experiment for ethical (伦理的) reasons. This means that we need to assess how valid Zimbardo's conclusions really are. For example, demand characteristics - how the guards assumed they should act - may have significantly shaped their behaviour.
(1)、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A、The aim of the experiment. B、The design of the experiment. C、The finding of the experiment. D、The limitation of the experiment.(2)、What behaviours did the guards exhibit?A、They abused prisoners. B、They criticized prisoners. C、They followed the instructions. D、They committed crimes of violence.(3)、Why did Zimbardo stop the experiment?A、The experiment achieved its goals. B、The experiment became unaffordable. C、The guards turned out uncontrollable. D、The prisoners suffered mental collapses.(4)、What is a suitable title for the text?A、A conflict in prison B、A pioneer in psychology C、The power of the situation D、The importance of virtues
