Since 2019, our institute, the Institute of Biology and Chemistry of Proteins in Lyon, has reduced its carbon footprint by about 13% through changes in lab practices. For me, however, this transformation started with a sense of discomfort rather than with numbers.
At the time, I was an early-career researcher focusing on publications and productivity. So when about a dozen volunteer scientists began raising concerns about the environmental impact of our work, I hesitated. Any measure that might affect productivity seemed risky. I worried that raising freezer temperatures could damage samples, that reducing cleaning cycles might slow experiments, and that changing long-standing procedures could hurt my publication record.
One question in particular changed the way I think. Audrey Sabbagh, an associate professor at Paris City University, once asked, “Can we consider research that is not ethical from an environmental point of view to be excellent ” That question stayed with me. I realized that I had long separated excellence from responsibility.
My colleagues and I then joined the Labos 1.5 program, a collective of around 600 researchers who believe science should lead by example in reducing society’s carbon footprint. The collective has developed a free online tool that any researcher can use to compute their lab’s carbon footprint. The results showed that more than half of the emissions (排放) in laboratories like ours came from the production, transport, and technical services linked to lab supplies and equipment. These emissions were far greater than those from conference travel, commuting, or heating buildings. That finding forced me to rethink both our assumptions and our practices.
We began testing simple changes. After confirming sample safety, we carefully raised freezer temperatures, reduced consumables, encouraged equipment repair, and extended the lifespan of computer hardware. We also replaced short-distance flights with train travel whenever possible. These were small but practical steps. Over time, I came to see that sustainability requires careful balancing. It is challenging, but essential for the future of science.
4. Which of the following contributed to the author’s initial hesitation
A. Fear of their research being affected.
B. Discomfort of a new working environment.
C. Doubts about being a capable young scientist.
D. Worries about tough working conditions in the lab.
5. What does Audrey Sabbagh imply in paragraph 3
A. Research comes out of a change in thinking.
B. Good research cannot harm the environment.
C. Research should be aimed at improving life.
D. Excellence and responsibility cannot coexist.
6. What did the results of the Labos 1.5 tool calculation suggest
A. The lab’s carbon footprint was less serious than expected.
B. The previous assumptions and practices were largely accurate.
C. Lab supplies and equipment were the main source of lab emissions.
D. Travelling and heating accounted for the majority of the pollution.
7. What did the author finally come to realize
A. Safety always comes first in science.
B. Scientific work requires practical skills.
C. Success in science needs careful action.
D. Small changes can promote sustainability.
C
When something breaks today, many people simply replace it. A weak phone battery, a leaking coffee maker, or a silent radio often ends up in the trash long before its useful life is over. Yet across many communities, a different habit is returning.
At events known as Repair Cafes, people bring broken items to volunteers who help them find the problem and try to fix it. The idea originated in Amsterdam about 15 years ago and has since spread widely. Surveys conducted by the Open Repair Alliance show more than 200,000 repair attempts have been recorded by over 1,100 groups in dozens of countries. The organization also estimates that more than 4,000 repair communities may now be active around the world.
A typical repair event is simple. People arrive with lamps, laptops, toys, clothes, vacuum cleaners, or kitchen tools. Instead of paying for an official service, they sit down with volunteers and work through the problem together. Sometimes the repair succeeds quickly. Sometimes it does not. Even then, the process still matters. Owners learn how products are designed, why they fail, and what makes some items easier to repair than others. For that reason, Repair Cafes show that practical knowledge can be shared and that many products are more repairable than people assume.
At the same time, the experience of community repair has exposed a deeper problem in manufacturing. In modern consumer culture, products often seem opaque to ordinary users, as if they were sealed boxes not meant to be opened. In 16% of all recorded cases, a repair cannot be completed because the product cannot be opened, and in another 12% of cases, the information needed to complete the repair is missing.
In this sense, community repair does more than save objects. It also provides evidence about how products are made and what should change. In an age of fast consumption, these events remind us that value does not disappear the moment something stops working.
8. Why does the author include many figures in paragraph 2
A. To stress the problem of broken items.
B. To show the rapid growth of Repair Cafes.
C. To compare the costs of different repairs.
D. To highlight the impact of throwaway culture.
9. What makes a community repair event special
A. It is more demanding than official service.
B. It depends on volunteers to fix the items.
C. It follows strict professional guidelines.
D. It turns repair into a learning experience.
10. What does the underlined word “opaque” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Unclear. B. Familiar. C. Accessible. D. reliable.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. Amsterdam: The Birthplace of Modern Repair
B. The Rise of Repair Cafes: More than Just Fixing
C. Why Community Services Need More Volunteers
D. How to Save Money in an Age of Fast Consumption
D
A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs).
Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system. Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles (粒子) between electrodes, the two ends of a battery, through an electrolyte, a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive.
To address the issue, a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion (钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies, sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium, an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte.
Consequently, while cold weather slows all ions down, sodium-based systems are less affected, preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at -30℃, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90 percent full when the temperature drops to -40℃ and achieves “stable power delivery” at -50℃ in test conditions.
Still, the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive, realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade. “We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang, an EV news founder.
12. What do we know about lithium-ion EVs
A. They need much higher maintenance fees.
B. Their power system can be unstable sometimes.
C. Their power output might be affected by the cold.
D. They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions.
13. Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather
A. They move much faster than lithium ones.
B. They are larger and more active in the electrolyte.
C. Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures.
D. They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do.
14. How does the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteries
A. By quoting experts. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By describing a process. D. By making comparisons.
15. What is Phate Zhang’s suggestion about
A. Possible direction for future study. B. Choice of new research methods.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the finding.

I caught sight of myself in a cafe window the other day, bent over my phone, with my head down and shoulders tense near my ears. ____16____ And I began to wonder how good it could feel to shake it off.
Small, everyday habits can lead to bad posture (体态). Whether we are using our phones on the sofa or working at the kitchen table, we may bend over or sit in one place for too long without noticing it. But over time, little things can become habits. And those little habits ____17____ Poor posture does more than cause muscle aches. It can also affect your breathing, mood, and energy levels. When we bend forward, our chest becomes less open, which limits oxygen intake and often leads to shallow breathing. ____18____
That is why good posture matters. It benefits us physically, mentally, and emotionally. It can help reduce pain, improve breathing, and enhance digestion, while also boosting energy levels and helping us sleep better. But there’s a gap between knowing posture is good and actually making it a habit. ____19____ Essentially, good posture means keeping your body in the right position whether you are standing, walking, or sitting. This means keeping your head, shoulders, and hips in line, relaxing your shoulders, engaging your core, and avoiding unnecessary tension.
____20____ Because little changes add up, experts recommend a few simple but effective ways to improve it. When sitting at your desk, keep your feet flat on the floor, support your lower back, and relax your shoulders. When using your phone, bring the screen up to eye level instead of bending your neck down.
A. So what does good posture actually look like
B. Posture is a habit that affects almost everything you do.
C. Why do people usually need to maintain good posture
D. It is often caused by the way we sit, stand, and use our phones.
E. Over time, this can make you feel tired, anxious or emotionally low.
F. That’s when I realized how easily bad posture slips into our daily life.
G. They can have a lasting impact on our bodies in ways we might not realize.

Ricky had finished school in his small hometown. Although his father hoped he would go on to study for a Master’s degree, Ricky was determined to learn computer skills. At school, he had once watched a computer demonstration and was deeply impressed. From then on, he made up his mind to leave the town and go to the city.
Life in the city was far from easy. Ricky’s troubles began with finding a place to live. He looked at several rooms, but either the rent was too high or the place was too far from his training institute. At last, an elderly couple agreed to take him in. The room was small and poorly ventilated, but Ricky felt thankful because they also provided him with meals.
Ricky attended classes regularly, yet he found it hard to follow the instructor. He sat at the back of the classroom, kept his eyes on his notebook, and wrote down whatever he could understand. As soon as class was over, he would leave quietly without speaking to anyone. Later, he would borrow the books recommended by the instructor from the library and spend the evening trying to understand them. While his classmates relaxed and enjoyed themselves after class, Ricky stayed by himself. Though he longed to join them, he lacked the courage. As the days went by, he began to doubt his decision. More than once, he wished he had listened to his father and chosen further study instead.
One day, his father came to see him and found him looking miserable. Ricky could no longer hold back his feelings. He told his father that he wanted to give up and return home. After listening patiently, his father suggested that he talk to the instructor about his difficulties and try reading books written by local authors or in a language he could understand more easily.

New Life for Old Items
Dear editors,
Last week, our school held a creative activity themed “New Life for Old Items”, which was a great success and won wide praise from all students.
In the activity, students brought old clothes, bottles and books. We showed our creativity by redesigning them into useful or beautiful works, such as cloth bags from old clothes and flower pots from bottles. Some students also shared their ideas on how to reuse old items.
Through this activity, I realized the value of reuse and developed a sense of environmental protection. It not only made old items regain vitality but also helped us learn to be creative and thrifty.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ricky had finished school in his small hometown. Although his father hoped he would go on to study for a Master’s degree, Ricky was determined to learn computer skills. At school, he had once watched a computer demonstration and was deeply impressed. From then on, he made up his mind to leave the town and go to the city.
Life in the city was far from easy. Ricky’s troubles began with finding a place to live. He looked at several rooms, but either the rent was too high or the place was too far from his training institute. At last, an elderly couple agreed to take him in. The room was small and poorly ventilated, but Ricky felt thankful because they also provided him with meals.
Ricky attended classes regularly, yet he found it hard to follow the instructor. He sat at the back of the classroom, kept his eyes on his notebook, and wrote down whatever he could understand. As soon as class was over, he would leave quietly without speaking to anyone. Later, he would borrow the books recommended by the instructor from the library and spend the evening trying to understand them. While his classmates relaxed and enjoyed themselves after class, Ricky stayed by himself. Though he longed to join them, he lacked the courage. As the days went by, he began to doubt his decision. More than once, he wished he had listened to his father and chosen further study instead.
One day, his father came to see him and found him looking miserable. Ricky could no longer hold back his feelings. He told his father that he wanted to give up and return home. After listening patiently, his father suggested that he talk to the instructor about his difficulties and try reading books written by local authors or in a language he could understand more easily.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Ricky decided to follow his father’s advice. The next day, he gathered his courage and went to talk to his instructor after class. He honestly shared his difficulties in keeping up with the lessons and his fear of falling behind. The instructor was very patient and gave him clear learning plans and useful learning materials.

Little by little, he no longer felt helpless or lonely.

He even tried to communicate with his classmates and formed small groups to discuss difficult points together. His hard work finally paid off. Soon, his grades improved greatly. He realized that choosing computer skills was not a mistake. With strong determination, he kept moving forward bravely, firmly believing a bright future was waiting for him.
