companycalledOff the Grid is asking travellers to put their cellphones away and not evenuse them for photos.The company founder,Zach Beattie,is developing his business,using money he saved from a tech job at a mapping company.Hes hired guides for every trip but will help lead the first few himself.The first trip is to Lisbon,Portugal,in July.It takes 7 to 10 days,withsmall groups of up to 16 people.Prices range from$1,500 to$1,650,including accommodations,meals and ground transportation.The plan includes at least three excursions(远足)and two social events,with an emphasis on unique experiences overbucket-list sightseeing.The tour also includes surfing lessons,yoga on the beach,a day of sailing and dinner with a local family.“When youre somewhere new,theres a lot to see and a lot of cool and interesting people to meet,”Beattie said.“Your phone can distract(使分心)you.”The phone ban wont be enforced quite as strictly as it seems at first glance.“We want it to be voluntary,”he said.“Were not collecting phones and throwing them in a locked trunk.Its held by you,but put in your pocket,and you state your intentions for the week,whether thats checking your social media onceor twice a day or a total blackout.”Tour-goers also get a“dumbphone”without Internet access thats loaded withnumbers for group leaders and other participants,both for emergencies and to promote socializing.Participants may bring regular cameras,but Beattie is hiringa photographer for each tour so there will be plenty of photos to remember thetrip.Once the trip is over,participants will have access to those photos for use in social media posts.24.What can be learned about Zach Beattie?A.He set up his business at his own expense.B.He is always guiding every trip personally.C.He forbids

when they see landscapes covered in wind turbines(涡轮机).When the wind gets going,their blades(叶片)can turn around at well over 200km per hour.It is easy to imagine careless birds getting cut into pieces and wind turbines do indeed kill at least some birds.But a new analysis of American data suggests the numbers are negligible,and have little impact on bird populations.Erik Katovich,an economist at the University of Geneva,made use of the Christmas BirdCount,a citizen-science project run by the National Audubon Society.Volunteers count birds they spot over Christmas,and the society gathers the numbers.He assumed,reasonably,that if wind turbines harmed bird populations,the numbers seen in the Christmas Bird Count would drop in places where new turbines had been built.Combining bird population and species maps with the locations andconstruction dates of all wind turbines,he found building turbines had no noticeable effect on bird populations.Instead of limiting his analysis to wind power alone,he also examined oil-and-gas extraction(开采),which has boomed in America over the past couple of decades.Comparingbird populations to the locations of new gas wells revealed an average 15%drop in bird numbers when new wells were drilled,probably due to a combination ofnoise,air pollution and the disturbance of rivers and ponds that many birds relyupon.When drilling happened in migration centers,feeding grounds or breeding locations,bird numbers instead dropped by 25%.Wind power,in other words,not only produces far less planet-heating carbondioxide and methane than do fossil fuels.It appears to be significantly less damaging to wildlife,too.Yet that is not the impression you would get from reading the news.Dr Katovich found 173 stories in major American news media reportingthe supposed negative effects that wind turbines had on birds in 2020,compared with only 46 stories discussing the effects of oil-and-gas wells.28.What does the underlined word“negligible”in paragraph 1 mean?A.Insignificant.B.Inaccurate.C.Inconsistent.D.Indefinite.29.What is Dr Katovichs conclusion based on?A.Previous studies.B.Relevant data.C.Reasonable prediction.D.Experiment results.30.What message does paragraph 3 mainly try to convey?A.Oil-and-gas extraction has expanded in America.B.Birds are heavily dependent on rivers and ponds.C.Many factors lead to the decline of bird populations.D.Well drilling poses a serious threat to birds survival.31.Which of the following may Dr Katovich agree with?A.Wind turbines could share the sky with wildlife.B.More evidence is needed to confirm the finding.C.Wind power will be substituted for fossil fuels.D.Wind turbines deserve wider media coverage.D DAmericans love their automobiles.So long,it seems,as they dont run on batteries.Asurvey published in July by the Pew Research Centre found that less than two-fifths of them would consider buying an electric vehicle(EV).Despite expanding charging networks and moreEV models to choose from,that is a slightly lower share than the year before.The biggest block to EV enthusiasm in America is price.The average EV there sells for$52,000,estimates Cox Automotive,a consultancy.That is not a worldaway from the$48,000 that Americans typically pay for a petrol vehicle.But total costs of ownership,which combine the sales price and running costs for fiveyears,vary more widely.At$65,000,the typical EV is$9,000 more expensive toown than a petrol car(owing to factors like pricey home chargers,dearer insurance and,compared with Europe and China,inexpensive petrol).All this leaves Americas car industry circling a roundabout.Consumersunwillingness to pay for expensive EVs is forcing carmakers to take action toshift stock(库存).Tesla has cut its prices several times in the past year.Carmakers are offering average discounts of almost10%on their EVs,more than twice as generous as for petrol cars.But this is making it even harder for thecompanies to make money from battery power.Continued losses in turn may makecar firms lose appetite to invest in a broader electric offering that would appeal to buyers.American carmakers are still hoping they can escape this vicious(恶性的)circle.They are mostly postponing their American EV investments rather thanpulling the plug on them.And from January the EV tax credits(免税)will also be available at the point of sale,making it less burdensome for buyers totake advantage of them.All this could eventually generate profits for car firms.Eventually may,though,come a bit later than hoped.32.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The lack of diversity of EVs.B.The uncertain prospect of EVs.C.The barrier to the purchase of EVs.D.The urgency of price reduction on EVs.33.How do carmakers deal with the depressed EV industry?A.Issuing EV tax credits policy.B.Offering better discounts on EVs.C.Cutting down the cost of production.D.Investing in a wider electric offering.34.What is the carmakers attitude towards the future of EV industry?A.Dissatisfied.B.Dismissive.C.Cautious.D.Casual.35.What may be the best title of the text?A.Is Americas EV Revolution Suspending?B.Do Electric Vehicles Outweigh Petrol Cars?C.EV Revolution Is Promoting Energy TransitionD.EV Is Gradually Dominating Americas Car Industry第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。People have always believed that nature is good for health and happiness.According to scientific studies,being in nature makes people less stressed.In a recent experiment in Japan,one group of people were asked to walk through a forestwhile another group had to walk through a busy city.36.However,researchers found that after the walks,the people who had walked in the forest had better moods,less anxiety and even lower blood pressure.So the experiment showed that it was being in nature that helped people feel less stressed,not just the walk.Gregory Bratman from Stanford University in the United States found in experiments that a walk in nature could have important cognitive(认知)benefits,improving a persons memory and creativity.37Teachers find that when childrenare enjoying the natural world,their awareness and creativity are improved,along with their reasoning and observational skills.Why does being in nature bring so many benefits for us?38,so we have an instinctive(本能的)love for it.Even just looking out of the window at abeautiful tree can help us feel less stressed.Scientists also think that being in nature helps our brain recover from a lotof activities that we usually do during the day such as working on math problemsor using our cell phone.39 putting all our attention into one thing,which can make us feel tired.But when we are outside,we use undirected attention.We see an interesting cloud or a beautiful flower,and our attention moves quickly and easily from one thing to another.So being in nature gives our brains the chance to rest.40.For many of us,nature is something we can enjoy just by walking out of our door.So enjoy the nature around you!A.The walks were equally long and hardB.Regular workouts are surprisingly helpfulC.One idea is that human beings come from natureD.Natures benefits have been scientifically confirmedE.In these activities,we use a lot of directed attentionF.Being in nature increases peoples mental health as wellG.We can see this in schools
