Luke Grenfell—Shaw had a rare form of cancer. It started as a pain in his shoulder and the tumour spread to his lungs, making it stage four. The Oxford graduate was teaching English in Siberia when he suffered a shoulder pain and saw the school nurse. It was her reaction to a lump on his back that sent him back home to Bristol. “I was 24 years old. I had done an ultramarathon,” Luke says. “48 hours later. I was back in hospital in the UK.” On 19 June, 2018, doctors told Luke that he had cancer.

My life had been comfortable and conventional. I had worked hard and got rewards in terms of education, jobs, things like that. That was all taken away.” On the day of his diagnosis, Luke had one clear thought in his mind that he wanted to cycle around the world. It was something he had always hoped to do, but the cancer news made him realize that he couldn’t put it off.

“I realized that the future had to become now,” Luke explains. He decided to cycle from Bristol to Beijing—more than 5,000 miles—on a tandem bike, because he wanted to bring people along to share the experience with him. Luke will not only be joined by family and friends for certain legs of his trip, but also by other young people who are living with cancer. “This trip is something I’m going to enjoy,” says Luke. “I’s going to be the richest and most fulfilling experience that I can have.”

A.A New Invention C.A Successful Cooperation

Geothermal(地热的) power generation is one of our most stable renewable energy resources. Heat generated below the Earth’s surface can provide an almost unlimited supply to power and heat homes. And while geothermal electricity only accounts for around one percent of global generation, that is set to at least triple by 2050.

The Geysers in California is the world’s largest geothermal electricity complex. It produces enough electricity from its 18 power plants for 725,000 homes, totaling 20 percent of the state’s renewable energy. Superheated “dry steam” is channeled from a large sandstone reservoir heated by a large magma chamber(岩浆房) more than four miles beneath the surface.

Heat is captured from its passage through the rock and the heated water converts into electricity. Cooled water is then recycled and pumped back to gather more heat. EGS (enhanced geothermal systems) technologies will open

B.A New Technology D.An Initiative practice B.New Samsung products. D.The easy-to-use repair tools. B.To make full use of the old parts. D.To ensure better service by iFixit.

up many more sites for geothermal energy. “You can effectively put a power plant anywhere,” said Will Pettit, director of the Geothermal Resources Council. “All you have to do is drill(钻孔) deep enough and you will find hot rock.”

Most geothermal plants actually use a flash steam technique, where hot water (at 360F or 180C) is drawn up, passed into lower pressure tanks and ‘flashed’ into steam to power a turbine(涡轮机). Binary cycle(双元循环) plants are the growth technology because they can operate at lower water temperatures and more diverse geographical locations. They use moderately hot water to heat a secondary fluid with a lower boiling point — as low as 135F — to drive turbines.

Geothermal plants already emit 11 times less carbon dioxide per unit of electricity than the average US coal power plant. They can also operate 24 hours a day to provide a solid base load for homes and businesses.

There are drawbacks too. Seismic activity around drilling wells is a factor. High investment costs are another. But the US government is backing the sector with multi-million dollar funds to push forward advanced EGS research. Geothermal energy is set to play a big part in the low-carbon electricity future. 32.What do Will Pettit’s words suggest in paragraph 3?

A.It takes great effort to develop geothermal power. B.Geothermal power development is money-consuming. C.Geothermal power plants can be set up in certain places. D.More geothermal energy can be found with advanced technology. 33.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A.Power plants are not affected by water. B.Hot water is used to power a turbine directly. C.Binary cycle plants are less restricted to locations. D.A flash steam technique is a must in geothermal plants. 34.What is the main idea of the article?

A.Traditional power has been replaced by geothermal power in America. B.Businesses are competing to gain an advantage in geothermal power. C.Geothermal power is likely to be the best chance to sustainable power. D.EGS technologies have come into widespread application around the world. 35.What is the writer’s attitude towards geothermal power?

A.Optimistic.

B.Pessimistic.

C.Indifferent.

D.Concerned.

The Bridge We Were Meant To Cross

My brother and I were driving home together and became engrossed in a conversation. Because of this distraction, my brother took a wrong turn.

Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Grudgingly, my brother paid the bridge toll and drove on. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $ 4.

We eventually reached an exit slip-way and, as we took it, my brother noticed a beat-up black Mustang pulled over to the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a wrench to get it off. 注意:
