Lake Inari, FinlandBA widely used gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels can instead be made by an artificial leaf that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and which could eventually

34、be used to develop a sustainable liquid fuel alternative to petrol.The carbon neutral （碳中和）device sets a new standard in the field of solar fuels, after researchers at the University of Cambridge demonstrated that it can directly produce the gas-called syngas（合成氣）一in a sustainable and simple way.Rat

35、her than running on fossil fuels, the artificial leaf is powered by sunlight, al though it still works efficiently on cloudy and overcast days. And unlike the current industrial processes for producing svnsas, the leaf does not release any additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The results a

36、re reported in the journal Nature Materials.Syngas is currently made from a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide(Wh 筑 ,and is used to produce a range of products, such as fuels, medicines, plastics and fertilizers.“You may not have heard of syngas itself but every day, you consume products that w

Being able to produce it sustainably would be a critical step in closing the global carbon cycle and establishing a sustainable chemical and fuel industry,T said senior author Professor Erwin Reisner from Cambridge's DeparUnent of Chemistry, who has spent seven years workin

The other carries out the chemical reaction that reduces carbon dioxide and water into carbon monoxide and hydrogen, formi

In the United States, i f your parents attended a college or university, there is a good chance that you will, too. Even i

45、f your parents did not go to college, you still have a good chance of completing higher education if your family is wealthy.But your chances are reduced if you come from a needy family, a community with limited educational resources or you simply have no one to follow as an example.Helping those in

46、need is one of the main ideas behind a strategy of behavioral science called nudge theory or nudging. Nudging i s a way of changing people s behavior through indirect suggestion and by supporting positive actions.A growing number of U. S. colleges and universities look to nudging as way to support p

47、oor, minority and first generation students. They also are using it to increase overall graduation rates. Two common forms of nudging are emai 1 s to students and text messages to their mobile phones. Schools and other educational organizations keep in contact with students this way, offering advice

48、 and help when needed.However, Alejandra Acostaa higher education policy expert at New America notes that there are several qualities a nudge campaign must possess in order to be successful.Acosta says messages must be timely, meaning they reach college students well before the date by which a stude

49、nt is required to take action. Additionally, nudges should be written clearly and provide as much information as possible. If students start to struggle in class, school officials should not just message them, saying they should seek academic support. The message should give information about what k

50、inds of support the college or university offers and exactly how the student can make use of them. That is why nudges should possess interactive qualities, Acosta says. For example, students should be able to ask questions of school officials or be directed to a website for more information. In addi

51、tion, colleges and universities must ensure their support services are in place and working as best they can.When nudges work, they can do a lot of good. In 2C18, a nonprofit group launched a nudging campaign at four U. S. community colleges. They worked with nearly 10, 000 first year students at th

52、ree such colleges in Ohio and one in Virginia. A recent study found that older and minority students who agreed to receive these nudges were 16 to 20 percent more likely to continue into their second year than those who did not.()61. Who is most likely to receive and complete higher education accord

53、ingto the passage?A. Tony, whose father is the only breadwinner in the family.B. Jimmy, whose mother is a worker in a small factory.C. Betty, whose grandmother is a housemaid of a famous university professor.D Cathy, whose parents failed to attend college but succeeded in starting a big company.()62

54、. What can we know about nudging?A. It is anchored in psychological science.B It is a way to improve people s mind.C. It offers concrete and direct advice.D It helps students via emails and text messages.()63. Which adjectives can be used to describe ideal message qualities ofnudging?A. Timely, prac

55、tical and interactive. B. Timely, interactive and sustainable.C. Immediate, authentic and consistent. D. Immediate, interactive and permanent.()64. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. The problem with higher education. B. A way for colleges to support students.C. The popularity of nudging ca

56、mpaign. D. A national campaign dealing with poverty.DLiu, the farmer, sat at the door of his one room house. It was a warm evening in late February, and in his thin body he felt the coming of spring. How he knew that the time had now come when life began to move in the soil? He could not have told h

57、imself. Most of all, in any other year than this he might have pointed to his wheat fields, where he planted wheat in the winter when the land was not needed for rice, and where, when spring was moving into summer, he planted the good rice, for rice was his chief crop. But the land told nothing, thi

58、s year. There was no wheat on it, for the flood had covered it long after wheat should have been planted, and it lay there cracked and like clay but newly dried.Well, on such a day as this, if he had his buffaloCzK42） and his plow（犁）as he had always had in other years, he would have gone out and plowd up that cracked soil. He ached to plow it up and make it look like a field again, yes, even though he had not so much as one seed to put
