Do you know about this situation When people with glasses go from the cold outside into a warm room or eat something hot, 24 glasses get foggy (有雾的) right away. And this makes it difficult for them to see things 25 . There are different kinds of products in the market. But none of them provides a great way 26 this problem.
In 2022, a team of researchers developed a gold-based anti-fog coating (金基防雾涂层). It could be used on a surface. Its 27 was to stop it from fogging by using heat from the sunlight. Now this technology is used on glasses. The coating gets energy from sunlight and uses the energy to heat up the surface and 28 its temperature by 8℃. Because of the heating, no fog is formed on the glasses.
Actually, it is also a low-cost technology 29 the coating is made of gold. According to the researchers, very little gold is required to develop the coating. For a pair of common size glasses, the cost of gold is so 30 that almost everyone can afford it.

Lena Ford, a 15-year-old US girl, is Positively Lena’s top boss. It is a business that brings joy to young people through a lot of products and services.
Lena Ford was 7 when she started Arting for You. For this project, she collected painting tools and materials and gave them to kids in foster care (寄养机构) for free. “My grandma always wanted to give back to others”, Lena said. “And I felt really encouraged by that.”
Two years later, Lena started a small business called Positively Lena. She got the idea from her own experience. When Lena was 8, her friend was very sad one day and she tried to remind her of all the positive things in her life. “I realized that I wanted to be everyone’s positive friend,” writes Lena on her business website.
The business, Positively Lena, mixes art, clothes and positive messages. It offers many different kinds of products, including notebooks, bags and office things—all with encouraging words on them, such as “peace and love”, “I am one of a kind” and “dance from your heart”. Part of the money Lena makes goes to people in need.
In 2022, Lena and her mom started a nonprofit (非盈利的) project. The group helps kids raised by a family friend or a relative. One way Lena helps is by making “positivity bags” filled with school things and books. Then she takes these bags to the kids by herself. She also offers activities to help kids feel confident.

Before air-conditioners (空调) were invented, southern China’s skywells played a key role in keeping people’s homes cool. Could they do it again today
A skywell, or tian jing, is a typical part of traditional homes in southern and eastern China. Different from a northern Chinese courtyard, or yuan zi, it is smaller and less open to the outdoor environment. Its size and design differ from place to place.
Skywells were designed to cool buildings at a time well before air-conditioners appeared. When wind blows above a skywell house, it can enter the indoor space through the opening. Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air, the wind blows in and moves down the walls to the lower floors and creates airflow (气流) by taking the place of warmer indoor air, which rises and leaves through the opening.
Although skywell buildings have a history of hundreds of years in China, recently they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern buildings. Over the past twenty years, however, skywell buildings have started to become popular again.
Yu Youhong, 55, has spent more than 30 years repairing skywell homes in Wuyuan of Jiangxi Province. One of the skywell homes repaired by Yu is in a small village in Wuyuan. The deserted 300-year-old house was bought by Edward Gawne, a man from the UK, and his Chinese wife in 2015. The couple turned the three-floor house into a 14-room hotel with the help of Yu. ________ They are open and with natural airflow. Gawne says that even without air-conditioners, the skywell areas are very comfortable in summer.
Skywells will be more and more popular among younger generations (一代). They match young people’s ideas about environmental protection. In short, skywells will be important again in our lives.
43．What do you know about skywells
A．They have the same size and design. B．They act as air-conditioners in summer.
C．They are commonly seen in northern China. D．They are as small as northern Chinese courtyards.
44．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．What skywells look like. B．When shywells appeared.
C．How skywells cool buildings. D．Why skywells are no longer popular.
45．Which of the following can be put into “________” in Paragraph 5
A．They took away the skywells to make more space for guests.
B．They bought many air-conditioners to make the hotel cooler.
C．They draw pictures on the walls to make the hotel look nicer.
D．They kept the spaces around the skywells as they were before.
46．What would be the best structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
47．In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage
A．Culture and Life. B．History and Trips.
C．Health and Sports. D．Nature and Environment.
A few years ago, when I was getting a haircut, the barbers (理发师) laughed at me because I studied moss (苔藓) to make a living. I didn’t even mention to them that my Ph. D．(博士学位) was on a wild plant.
My example certainly isn’t a one-off situation. Researchers across all fields of science have had similar experiences. But I feel plant scientists are forced to go through such situations very often.
Many people ask me why I am not doing more “useful” studies—on things like cancer or dementia (痴呆). My answer is simple. Plant science can help feed the world. Millions of people worldwide die of hunger every year. It’s not that we aren’t producing enough food; it’s just that we are wasting a lot of it. Plant science can help to reduce this waste. An example is apples that take a longer time to turn brown. They are less possible to be thrown away. Plants can also help us protect our environment. They are important in our fight against climate change. Moreover, discoveries in plant science have also helped create conditions for studies in many other areas of science. In short, plant science isn’t useless at all.
At an event at a local school, I was surprised to learn that none of the 14-and 15-year-olds knew the rice plant. This perhaps shows the level of interest in plants among today’s young people. It’s very worrying.
Schools could and should do more to change their ideas. The Rocket Science program was a great example. It helped 600,000 children become space biologists. The pupils grew seeds, and these seeds spent six months on the International Space Station later. Such events are able to drum up students’ interest in plant science. Unluckily, there are too few of them.
Plant science is much more useful than many people think. I hope that more people, especially young students, will take a second look at it.
48．How does the writer start the passage
A．By listing some numbers. B．By asking a question.
C．By telling the differences. D．By telling a personal experience.
49．What situation do plant scientists usually go through
A．They cannot afford their living. B．Their research is very challenging.
C．Their job is not understood by the public. D．They have difficulty communicating with others.
50．Why does the writer think plant science is useful Check and choose the right answer.
①It helps reduce food waste. ②It makes food more delicious.
③It offers ways to make medicine. ④It helps fight against climate change.
⑤It supports the studies in many other areas of science.
A．①②④ B．①④⑤ C．②③④ D．③④⑤
51．What does the underlined phrase “drum up” mean in Paragraph 5
A．To make something disappear. B．To make something change slowly.
C．To reduce something little by little. D．To increase something step by step.
52．What is the writer’s purpose according to the passage
A．To introduce different plants. B．To honor science achievements.
C．To encourage people to study plants. D．To call on people to help a local school.
