The process could provide a major source of oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future. Researchers from the European Space Agency, or ESA, carried out the experiments at a laboratory in the Netherlands.The team says ESA* s experimental “plant" was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated moon dust. The dust is part of a material known as regolith, a top layer of dirt and rock pieces that sit on the surface of the moon. Samples of regolith returned from the moon have confirmed that the material contains about 45 percent oxygen by weight. However, the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass, so it is not easily available for use. Having real samples of regolith from the moon made it possible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material used during testing.The oxygen extraction （提取）process is carried out using a method called molten salt electrolysis （熔盐电解）.This includes first placing the regolith in a metal container. Calcium chloride salt is added to the mixture, which is then heated to 950 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the regolith remains solid. Next, an electrical current ispassed through the material. The researchers say it is this step that results in oxygen being extracted from the regolith. The study reported that up to 96 percent of oxygen in the simulated moon dust was extracted during the experiments.ESA's long-term goal is to design an oxy gen-producing "pilot plant” to operate full-time on the moon. The first technology demonstration of the system is expected 10 take place in the middle 2020s. Beth Lomax, a lead researcher on the project, said, "Being able to acquire oxygen from resources found on the moon would obviouslybe hugely useful for future lunar settlers, both for breathing and the local production of rocket fuel. " The researchers reported that "as a bonus' *. the process also results in the production of usable metal lie materials. ESA and the US space agency NASA are both working on plans to return human beings to the moon. NASA has set a goal for 2024 with the aim to keep humans on the moon for long periods.24. Why is oxygen from moon dust difficult to use?A. It is tough for human beings to get moon dust.B. It is chemically fixed in materials or glass.C. The conditions of moon dust are terrible.D. There exits only a little of it.25. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. What molten salt electrolysis is.B. Where the value of the study lies.C. How oxygen is extracted from moon dust.D. What is necessary in the oxy gen extraction process.26. What is Beth Lomax' s attitude towards the possibi1ity of getting oxygen from moon dust?A. Positive. B. Skeptical. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. Recent Studies of Moon Dust by ResearchersB. How Researchers Extracted Oxygen from Moon DustC. Potential Significance of Oxygen Extracted from Moon DustDIt's good to share, right? Growing up as kids we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new fashion trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?What is oversharing? The term has become associated with social media, but it doesn't only belong to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have given away details about their personal life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage therapist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in internet psychology, says the more details people disclose. The less sympathy we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we attract our own negative experiences the more we share them. It seems that sadfishing （博 同情），the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally viewed as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.However, Dr Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more positive posts we share on a platform, the more socially attractive we become. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD. said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We are supposed not to show off, as it's now known especially about our love lives. It makes sense - if your date is going ' that well, would you really have time to share a photo with text?So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probably be more than happy 10 tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaint about your lack of money really are tOO much.28. Why do some people try to overshare at parties?A.Becausetheywant to catch others' attention.B. Because they just want to show off something.C. Because they have a strong desire to pour out their emotions.D. Because they may expect to make a connection with someone.Para. 3 mean?29. What does the underlined word inD. Discuss.A. Explore. B. Expose. C. Display.30. What can we know from the passage?A. We will become more socially attractive if we post more on a platform.B. We tend to show sympathy when things go wrong.C. We may be considered negative when seeking for sympathy by oversharing.D. We can show off something positive especially about our love lives. 31. What is the purpose of the text?For sports fans, nothing could be better than watching a live event on TV or at a sports field. But there, s nothing worse than that event being called off because of bad weather. Bad light, a water-logged court or too much heat can cause matches to be postponed. But according to the latest research, extreme weather might be disturbing the sporting calendar more than ever in the future.In one sport, golf, major tournaments like The Open, are already predicted to be victims of our changing climate. In the UK, an organization called The Climate Coalition says that golf courses such as St Andrews could be under water by the end of the century if sea levels rise even slightly. It told the BBC that its research predicts "cancelled football matches, flooded cricket（板球）grounds and golf courses sinking into the sea.”The threat to sporting events from climate change has been further highlighted in a new report, officially approved and licensed by the Rapid Transition Alliance. Writing about this for the BBC, Matt McGrath says that By 2050, it* s estimated that almost one in four English football league grounds can expect flooding every year. " This will mean fewer matches played, less opportunity to watch the beautiful game and reduced government taxation8from ticket sales.Cricket also faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in places like India, Australia and the West Indies. The report says that stadiums inAdelaide and Perth wi11 see a 60% increase in days with temperatures over 40 degrees centigrade over the next decade.Ofcourse, we know that the solution lies with reducing our carbon footprint. We could travel less to attend sports events, and reduce our waste when we do go. But this latest report finds that sports leaders are generally failing to address the issue seriously. However, because sport is universally popular and can be very influential, . maybe it should be players, teams and their sponsors as well as fans W ho should promote a w ide low carbon messagegame overlo help protect sporting fields- before it'32. What is the latest research above mainly concerned with?A.theforbidden sporting eventsB.theinfluential climate changeC.thesevere environmental pollutionD.therising sea level33. What influence will the extreme weatherhave on the sports?A.Football fans cannot afford the entrancefee.B.Overheat will largely affect the cricketcalendar.C.The golf games will thoroughly disappeardue to rising sea level.D.Sports leaders will face bigger challengesto lead their teams to win.34. What does the underlined part "the issuerefer to in the lastparagraph?A.theconstant increaseinsea levelB.thefading popularityofsport eventsC.thechanging attitudesponsors.D.theeffective reduction of carbon footprint35. The research is introduced to us mainly toA.inform the readers of the worsening global climate changeB.require governments* protection of sporting fieldsC.promote awareness of low carbon life on sportsD. urge financial support from sponsors第二节（共5小题;每小题2. 5分,满分12. 5分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项 为多余选项。Get a Healthy HomeMost of us have spent more time at home in 2020 than we ever imagined possible. 36These tips can help make your home better for your body andmind.Take off your shoes at your door.
