18、inia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need. Arriving at our destination, my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire.

20、a was a woman in a wheelchair her grandmother, wed soon learn. I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a fire-damaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl. Over the following days, I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked. A few times, I tried

21、 talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.By our fifth and final day, however, this was about to change. Before I went to work on her home on that last morning, I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother. I was esp

22、ecially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her new room so much. As we talked, I noticed something I hadnt seen before Dakota was hiding behind her grandmother.Cautiously, she stepped into view, and I could see that just like her clothes, her face was still dirty. But no amount of soil c

23、ould hide those bright blue eyes and the big smile. She was simply adorable. Slowly, she began walking toward me. It wasnt until she was just inches away that I noticed the folded piece of paper in her tiny hand. Silently, she reached up and handed it to me. Once unfolded, I looked at the drawing sh

24、ed made with her broken crayons on the back of an old coloring book cover. It was of two girls one much taller than the other and they were holding hands.

29、 week during this pandemic definitely rings alarm bells, but a team of researchers in Melbourne may have the solution.Theyve discovered that adding millions of discarded face masks to road-paving (铺路) mixtures would actually lower the cost of the road, while preventing billions of them from landfill

30、s. Just one kilometer of road would need three million masks, and the polypropylene (聚丙烯) plastic used to make single-use surgical face masks also increased the flexibility and durability of the road.The new material is a mixture of about 2% torn masks, with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA)a materi

31、al obtained from waste concrete and other minerals from destroyed buildings. This recycled material was found in the study to be ideal for two of the four layers generally required to create roadways. Paving a kilometer of two-way road with the RCA and three million face masks would result in a chan

32、ge of 93 tons of waste from landfills.The final product then is more resistant to wear than asphalt (沥青), as well as being cheaper too, provided there was a method for collecting masks. The research team did a cost-analysis and found that, at $26 per ton, the RCA was about half the cost of mining ra

33、w materials, and as much as a third of the cost of shipping the used masks to a landfill.The widespread application would be ideal for large infrastructure (基础设施) projects. For example, Washington has the 11th worst roads in terms of unaddressed repairs in the U.S. If the damaged roads in Washington

34、 state were repaired with the RCA/mask mixture, it would reuse nearly 10 billion masks, sparing American landfills hundreds of millions of tons of trash.Its said that the team is looking for private industry partners or governments willing to give their plastic mask road an opportunity for a large-s

35、cale test.28. What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in paragraph 2?A. Recycled.B. Produced.C. Mixed.D. Abandoned.29.

To prove this material is cost-effective in paving roads.C. To explain repairing roads costs a lot of materials.D. To pra

37、ise the hard work the team has done.31. What can we learn from the text?A. The material used to pave roads is made of masks.B. Generally speaking, it requires two layers to create roadways.C. It remains to be tested whether the solution is practical.D. The damaged roads in Washington were repaired w

38、ith the RCA.DResearchers at the Dog Studies lab at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History have shown that dogs may possess some metacognitive (元认知) abilities. Specifically, when they do not have enough information to solve a problem, they will actively look for more information, s

39、imilarly to primates (灵长类).In a recent study, project leader Julia Belger explored whether dogs have metacognitive abilities. To test this, the researchers designed a device involving two V-shaped fences. A reward, either food or a toy, would be placed by one researcher behind one of the two fences

40、while another researcher held the dogs. In some cases, the dogs could see where the reward was placed, while in others, the dogs could not. The researchers then analyzed how frequently the dogs looked through the gap in the fence before choosing an option.The researchers found that the dogs did chec

41、k significantly more often for the reward when they had not seen where it was placed. These results show that dogs do tend to actively seek extra information when they have not seen where the reward is concealed.The results did not allow the researchers to say definitively whether dogs possess meta-

42、cognition, though they displayed some evidence for it. Julia said, “For humans, vision is an important information gathering sense. In this case, our experiment was based on a checking action relying on sight, but the dogs probably also used their sense of smell when checking through the gap. We kno

43、w that smell is very important to dogs and we could see that they were using it.”Julia added, “In future, we would like to develop an experiment to investigate under what circumstances dogs decide to use their sense of smell versus sight. This may give us additional insights into their information s

44、eeking abilities.”32. What ability may dogs have according to the study?A. To offer information like primates.B. To use their skills to find more food.C. To seek information to solve a problem.D. To ask for help before choosing an option.33. What does the underlined word “concealed” in paragraph 3 m

45、ean?A. Decorated.B. Hidden.C. Produced.D. Purchased.34. What attitude did the researchers have to the finding?A. Uncertain.B. Friendly.C. Negative.D. Critical.35. In which section of a newspaper can you probably read the text?A. Environment and technology.B. Humans and nature.C. Literature and cultu
