forhumans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future.R esearchersfrom the European S pace A gency,or ES A,carried out the experiments at alaboratory in the N etherlands.T he team says ES A s experimental“plant was able to successfully produceoxygen from simulated moon dust.T he dust is part of a material known asregolith,a top layer of dirt and rock pieces that sit on the surface of themoon.S amples of regolith returned from the moon have confirmed that thematerial contains about 4 5 percent oxygen by weight.However,the oxygen ischemically locked in the form of minerals or glass,so it is not easilyavailable for use.Having real samples of regolith from the moon made itpossible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material usedduring testing.T he oxygen extraction（提取）process is carried out using a method calledmolten salt electrolysis（熔盐电解）.T his includes first placing the regolithin a metal container.C alcium chloride salt is added to the mixture,whichis then heated to 950 degrees C elsius.A t this temperature,the regolith5remains solid.Next,an electrical current ispassed through the material.The researchers say it is this step thatresults in oxygen being extracted from the regolith.The study reported thatup to 96 percent of oxygen in the simulated moon dust was extracted duringthe experiments.ESAs long-term goal is to design an oxy gen-producing pilot plant tooperate full-time on the moon.The first technology demonstration of thesystem is expected 10 take place in the middle 2020s.Beth Lomax,a leadresearcher on the project,said,uBeing able to acquire oxygen from resourcesfound on the moon would obviouslybe hugely useful for future lunar settlers,both for breathing and thelocal production of rocket fuel.The researchers reported that“as a bonus .the process also results in the production of usable metallic materials.ESAand the U S space agency N A SA are both working on plans to return human beingsto the moon.N A SA has set a goal for 2024 with the aim to keep humans on themoon for long periods.24.W hy 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.H ow 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 possibility of

are told to share ourtoys and not be selfish.W e also live in an age where discussing our feelingsis encouraged.B ut when does it all become too much?W ith new fashion trendingall the time,such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress,thequestion is:when can sharing become oversharing on social media?W hat is oversharing?T he term has become associated with social media,but it doesn，t only belong to this platform.I magine you head to a party andyou meet someone.W ithin five minutes they have given away details about theirpersonal life.W hile some of us may try to escape these people,according tomarriage therapist C arolyn C ole,this form of oversharing could come from astrong desire to connect with someone.B ut how does this translate to socialmedia?D r.C hristopher Hand,a lecturer in internet psychology,says the moredetails people disclose.T he less sympathy we express when things go wrong.T his could be due to a belief that we attract our own negative experiencesthe more we share them.I t seems that sadfishing（博同情），the idea ofsearching for sympathy by oversharing,is generally viewed as negative ratherthan the cry for help it could actually be.However,D r Hand,s research also seems to suggest that the more positiveposts we share on a platform,the more socially attractive we become.Evenback in 2 0 1 5,Gwendolyn S eidman P hD.said that we should avoid complainingand being negative onl ine.W e are supposed not to show off,as it s now knownespecially about our love lives.I t makes sense-if your date is going thatwell,would you really have time to share a photo with text?S o,how can you know if you are oversharing?W ell,why not ask your friendsin real life.T hey wou 1 d probably be more than happy 1 0 tell you if your postsabout

calledoff because of bad weather.B ad light,a water-logged court or too much heatcan cause matches to be postponed.B ut according to the latest research,extreme weather might be disturbing the sporting calendar more than ever inthe future.I n one sport,golf,major tournaments like T he O pen,are already predictedto be victims of our changing climate.I n the UK,an organization called T heC limate C oalition says that golf courses such as S t A ndrews could be underwater by the end of the century if sea levels rise even slightly.I t told theB B C that its research predicts cancelled football matches,floodedcricket（板球）grounds and golf courses sinking into the sea.”T he threat to sporting events from climate change has been furtherhighlighted in a new report,officially approved and licensed by the R apidT ransition A lliance.W riting about this for the B B C,M att M cGrath says that B y 2 0 50,it s estimated that almost one in four English football leaguegrounds can expect flooding every year./z T his will mean fewer matches played,less opportunity to watch the beautiful game and reduced government taxation8from ticket sales.C ricket also faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in placeslike I ndia,A ustralia and the W est I ndies.T he report says that stadiums inA delaide and P erth will see a 6 0%increase in days with temperatures over 4 0degrees centigrade over the next decade.O f course,we know that the solution lies with reducing our carbonfootprint.W e could travel less to attend sports events,and reduce our wastewhen we do go.B ut this latest report finds that sports leaders are generallyfailing to address the issue seriously.However,because sport is universallypopular and can be very influential,.maybe it should be players,teams andtheir sponsors as well as fans W ho should promote a w ide low carbon messagelo help protect sporting fields-before it s ugame over.3 2.W hat is the latest research above mainly concerned

challenges to lead their teams to win.3 4.W hat does the underlined part the issue refer to in the lastparagraph?A.the constant increase in sea levelB.the fading popularity of sport eventsC.the changing attitude of sponsors.D.the effective reduction of carbon footprint3 5.T he 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 sports9D.urge financial support from sponsors第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分1 2.5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
