Product placement: a mirror of the advertisement historyProduct placement: a perfect companion to online videosDWhat would you think is the most plentiful man-made material on earth? Steel, plastic, glass? The answer is concrete.And while it's an incredibly useful material existing everywhere, the energy intensive process of making concrete releases massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, and its main component, which is a mixture of rocks, sand, water and most importantly, cement （水泥）to glue it altogether, is responsible for 7 percent of global CO2 emissions, leaving a huge carbon footprint. But without cement, concrete doesn't hold up skyscrapers.What if there was a way that instead of releasing carbon dioxide, concrete could trap it forever? Carbon Cure is kind of the brains of the technology. This innovation puts carbon dioxide into the concrete as it's being mixed. When the concrete hardens, those otherwise harmful emissions are trapped forever, before they even reach our atmosphere. Christie Gamble, part of the team behind Carbon Cure's technology, explained J We actually transform the CO2 into a mineral, and the real selling point is that the mineral itself improves the compressive （压缩的）strength for the concrete, which means producers like Thomas Concrete can use less cement in their mixtures and still achieve the same strength with fewer emissions.Compression tests prove that the concrete made with Carbon Cure is just as hardy as the traditional stuff. If we can reduce 5 percent of the carbon footprint of the concrete industry, thafs a significant change from where we're right now. Ultimately, if this technology was employed across the globe, we could reduce about 700 megatons of CO2 every year, which is the same as taking 150 million cars off the road every year.It's going to change the way the concrete industry does things. Though companies pay to use Carbon Cure and buy CO2 from a factory, they save money by using less of their most expensivecement.32. What's the main focus on concrete in paragraph 2?A. Its makeup.C. Its daily use.33. How does Carbon Cure work?A. By adding a new mineral to CO2.C. By improving the quality of the cement.B. Its serious air pollution.D. Its producing process.B.

The garbage collected is recycled and sold to companies that pay above-market prices to help the cause.Liter of LightSince 2011, Liter of Light has been transforming plastic bottles into light sources （光源）. There are millions of people who have no access to electricity. The company attaches plastic bottles filled with water and bleach to roofs. They reflect sunlight into the dark, windowless homes during the day. When the sun sets, a micro solar panel （太阳能电池板）helps power anLED bulb （灯泡）.The Ocean Cleanup FoundationIn 2013, 18-year-old Boyan Slat dropped out of college to start The Ocean Cleanup Foundation. The young inventor developed the first operational cleanup system in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The system is designed to collect the surface garbage as it floats past. The accumulated plastic will be brought to land for recycling. Slat believes his invention will allow us to clean 50 percent of the patch within five years.You and MeWe don't have to be part of a major movement to help make a difference. Simply choosing to recycle, reuse, or avoiding plastic altogether can be a great start to reduce the waste. In addition, there are many other ways to reduce our ecological footprint.

Born in 1992 in Yizhang county, Hunan Province, Jiang's world has been silent since she was 6 months old, when ototoxic （耳毒性的）drugs she was given irreparably damaged her hearing. So, Jiang's parents, both middle school teachers, taught her to learn vocalization and lip reading.Jiang put her hands on the throats of her parents when they talked and felt the vibration （震动） of the vocal cords （声带）to learn to speak. When reading Pinyin, she carefully looked at the lips of other people's pronunciations to know the formation of each syllable. Mastering a single word can take at least 1000 practice attempts for Jiang, and different people having different mouth movements added difficulty to her social contacts and school life.Through lip reading and self-study, she was able to keep up with learning and was accepted by Jilin University School of Pharmacy （药学）.In 2018, she was accepted as a PhD candidate at Tsinghua University's School of Life Sciences.

You cannot judge a book by its cover.CHumans have been living and working on the space station for 20 years. Their meals are packaged, though sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions. The longer that packaged food is stored, the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample each one. The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts on Friday as they celebrated the harvest of the first Chili （辣椒）grown in space. The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants. After growing for four months, the peppers were harvested on Friday.Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C, as well as other key nutrients. Pepper plants self-pollinate, so they are easy to grow, and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn't have to be cooked. They are also safe to eat raw.A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell, so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favorite. Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals. But growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.Astronauts have described the joy from seeing-as well as smelling and caring for-leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth."Growing colorful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health,“ said Matt Romeyn, principal investigator for the experiment. We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colors and smells helps to improve astronauts? well-being.What does underlined "kicking off' in the 2nd paragraph mean?A. Launch.B.

What is the suitable title for the text ?A. The Fun in the Space LifeB. The Common Goal in the Space MissionC. The First Chili Peppers Grown in SpaceD. A Research Finding from the Space MissionDWhen answering a question, your silence might say more than your words. A new psychology study has found pausing before replying, even for just a few seconds, can make you seem more insincere or dishonest. That perception （感知）of dishonesty might not be too inaccurate, either. Numerous studies suggest people are slower to respond when they are not being truthful, possibly because it takes more mental work to block a truthful response or fabricate （编造）an alternative.What's been less clear is how well our lies have been fooling people. Some studies suggest delayed answers come across as insincere to the listener. Others find no relationship between the two, and still more have found the opposite: A bit of hesitation increases our perception of sincerity. These findings are inconsistent and confusing. They are also mostly based on correlations. Even the few studies that have actually looked at causal relationships often didn't consider confusing factors that could also give away a liar or an insincere speaker.The new research seeks to improve some of those limitations by examining thousands of people under a variety of conditions. Together, it involves more than 7, 500 individuals in a total of 14 experiments. On the whole, the authors found an immediate response was perceived as more sincere, while a delayed response, even a delay as brief as two seconds, was seen as more insincere. "Evaluating other people's sincerity is an important part of social interactions.says consumer behaviour researcher Ignazio Ziano.“It would be unfair for the responder, such as a crime suspect, if the response delay was misattributed to （错误地归因于）thought suppression （抑制）or answer fabrication when it was in fact caused by a different factor, such as simply being distracted or thoughtful.explains Ziano.31. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.The perception of dishonesty depends on your silence.B. Preparing a truthful response needs more mental work.C. The impression of dishonesty isn't always accurate.D. Quicker replies to questions make you seem reliable.32. According to paragraph 3, how do researchers carry out their research?A. By studying the findings of several previous research projects.B. By examining thousands of people in various situations.C. By collecting data from the database from a new research.D. By analyzing the circumstances of the responses involved.33. Why does Ziano say it is unfair for the responder in the last paragraph ?A. Listeners should ignore the pauses.B. A real criminal could escape quietly.C. The responder may be judged wrongly.D. The response delay affects people's preference.34. Where is this text most likely from?A. A diary.B. A guidebook.C. A brochure.D. A magazine.山东省德州市2021-2022学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题第一节（共15小题；每题2. 5分，总分值37.5分）阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最正确选项，并在答题卡 上将该选项涂黑。AIn recent years China has made great efforts to make the best use of local conditions to help rural residents boost their incomes.
