On the edge of the Saudi Arabian desert beside the Red Sea, a city called Neom is due to be built. The city-complete with flying taxis and robotic domestic help—is planned to become home to one million people. And what energy product will be used to power this city? Not oil. Instead, Saudi Arabia is banking on a different fuel—green hydrogen.
A large US gas company, Air Products & Chemicals, announced that as part of Neom it has been building a green hydrogen plant in Saudi Arabia for the past four years. The plant claims to be the worlds largest green hydrogen project.
Experts say that green hydrogen could be an ideal power source for many industries.
In Japan, a new green hydrogen plant opened near Fukushima—an intentionally symbolic location given the plants proximity to the site of the 2011 nuclear disaster. It will be used to power fuel cells
Europe is also investing in green hydrogen. The European Union drafted a strategy for large-scale green hydrogen expansion. "Large- scale deployment(部署)of clean hydrogen at a fast pace is key for the EU to achieve its high climate ambitions", the European Commission wrote.
Green hydrogen is a promising zero-emission technology for aircraft. But Airbus recently released a statement saying that significant problems need to be overcome, including safely storing hydrogen on aircraft, the lack of a hydrogen facility at airports, and cost.
And on the ground, green hydrogen has been identified as an alternative to some road vehicles. In the UK, hydrogen trains, trucks and buses are welcomed.
There are even plans for smaller-scale hydrogen systems that can power individual homes. In Australia, the University of New South Wales has created a home-based system that uses solar energy to create and store green hydrogen, which is changed into electricity as needed.
24. What do we know about the city Neom?
A. It is located off the coast of the Red Sea.
B. It will be crowded with robotic taxis.
C. It will be powered by a unique power source.
D. It has the worlds largest gas company.
25. What does the underlined word "proximity" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Nearness. B. Significance. C. Remoteness. D. Similarity.
26. What can we infer about green hydrogen from the text?
A. Some experts state that it could be applied to almost any field.
B. The European Union took great interest in its fast- paced expansion.
C. It can be employed in all road vehicles as a zero-emission technology.
D. Storing it safely on aircraft was impossible to handle.
27. Where is the text most likely from?
A. Advertisement. B. Travel guide. C. Science report. D. Newspaper.

What is the purpose of lightning? That might sound like a deeply philosophical question, but scientists may have shed some more light on the answer in a recently released study. The new study published in April found that lightning may play a bigger role in global climate change than was previously known by the scientific community. "Lightning increases the atmospheres ability to cleanse itself," the researchers wrote in the study.
Many are familiar with the potentially deadly risks posed by lightning, which causes an average of 43 fatalities in the USA each year. Although the odds of being struck are quite low, you cant be too cautious when storms arise. Consequently, many in the weather community have long urged people to take proper measures to stay safe during storms, which can frequently trigger lightning, even without turning severe.
However, the researchers recently uncovered a surprising beneficial impact of lightning The Earth is struck by lightning nearly 20 million times each year, and lightning can travel as much as 10 to 12 miles from a thunderstorm, instantly heating the air to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit
The study, was based on an airborne research flight conducted in 2012. The plane was used to examine the top portion of thunderstorm clouds. Researchers initially thought there was a problem with the equipment on the plane, unt?l thеу rеаl?zеd ?р?kе?(急升)thеу оb?еrvеd cоrrе?роndеd w?th l?ghtn?ng flа?hе?.
Therefore, the study estimates that somewhere between 2% and 16% of the oxidizing, or cleaning that happens naturally in the atmosphere is done by lightning. The process helps reduce chemicals like carbon monoxide and methane in the atmosphere. These chemicals, known for being greenhouse gases, have been proven to contribute to rising temperatures associated with climate change.
Researchers say more studies will be conducted to confirm the degree to which lightning contributes to the fight against global climate change.
28. What did the researchers find in the previous study concerning lightning?
A. The function of lightning is a practically philosophical question.
B. Lightning played a certain role in climate change.
C. There was something wrong with the equipment on the plane.
D. Lightning had a positive influence on cleaner atmosphere.
29. Which may the weather community agree with?
A. People are not aware of the possible risks caused by lightning.
B. Storms can be frequently accompanied by lightning.
C. The chances of being struck by lightning are not slim.
D. There is no need to worry when storms arise.
30. Whats the authors attitude towards the effect of lightning?
A. Subjective. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
31. Whats the text mainly about?
A. The shocking benefit of lightning. B. The function of lightning,
C. The cause of lightning. D. The disadvantage of lightning.

Working long hours poses an occupational health risk killing hundreds of thousands of people each year, the World Health Organization says.
People working 55 or more hours each week face an estimated 35% higher risk of a stroke(中風(fēng))and a 17% higher risk of dying from heart disease, compared to people following the widely accepted standard of working 35 to 40 hours in a week, the WHO says in a study published Monday in the journal Environment International.
"No job is worth the risk of stroke or heart disease," WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, calling on governments, businesses and workers to find ways to protect workers health.
In the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced national economies into crisis and changed how millions of people work. But its authors note that overwork has been on the rise for years due to phenomena such as the gig economy and telework—and they say the pandemic will likely accelerate those trends.
"Teleworking has become the norm in many industries, often blurring(模糊)the boundaries between home and work," Ghebreyesus said. "In addition, many businesses have been forced to scale back or shut down operations to save money, and people end up working longer hours."
The study found the highest health burdens from overwork in men and in workers who are middle-age or older. Regionally, people in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific region had the most exposure to the risk. People in Europe had the lowest exposure.
Several steps could help ease the burden on workers, the study states, including governments adopting and enforcing labor standards on working time.
The authors also say employers should agree with their employees on a maximum number of working hours. In another step, the study suggests workers arrange to share hours so no one is working 55 or more hours in a week.
32. How does the author develop the second paragraph?
A. By listing data. B. By giving an example.
C. By proposing a definition. D. By presenting an argument.
33. What led to the worldwide economic crisis in 2021 according to the text?
A. Stroke and heart disease. B. Shutdown of factories.
C. A global outbreak. D. Gig economy and telework.
34. Who will probably suffer the greatest health risks due to overwork?
A. Linda, 28, from Southeast Asia. B. Charles, 40, from West Asia.
C. Elsa, 39, from Europe. D. David, 45, from Western Pacific region.
35. To relieve the burden on workers, an employer can be recommended to .
A. carry out flexible labor standards on working duration
B. arrive at an agreement with staff on working time
C. share the workload with coworkers to avoid overwork
D. reduce the amount of labor to cut down expenses

How to Deal With a Friendship Breakup
In an ideal world you would grow old with the people you grow up with, but sometimes it doesnt happen that way. For various reasons, you may find yourself having to be the one to end the relationship with your best friend. To me, its hands down harder than the ending of a romantic connection. 36
Feel those feelings.
You may find yourself going to call or text that person just from habit. When things happen—good or bad, it will take some time to remember this person is no longer accessible to you, which may bring sadness, hurt, anger, confusion, etc. 37 The breakup with your best friend wont be any different.
38
If you were the one "dumped(拋棄)" how could you have been a better friend? Pay attention to the things that caused your relationship to end, and then do the work to save it or prevent other friendships from going down the same road.
Delete and block.
Its attractive to see whats happening in someones life, especially someone who has been a large part of your life for so long. 39 The delete and block buttons are your greatest assets(資產(chǎn)).
40 It can take weeks or years to adapt to life changing circumstances. But I have found, that as you accept things for what they are, there is an overwhelming sense of peace that eventually washes over you.

Belinda, like many of my students, had grown up "street smart", with very little use for schools and books. On the first day of school, she called Rory a very bad word, so I kept her in at break. I made her wash all the desks and pick up all the garbage lying around. "Thatll teach her," I thought. Belinda, though, was smarter than me. "I like cleaning. Mr. Brassell," she said. "Can I do this every day?"
On the third day, I caught Belinda fighting with Jose. I walked over to their table and asked what the problem was. "She keeps calling me a bad word," Jose said. Belinda wrote standards after school while I gave her another lecture on behavior. The next day, I caught her fighting with Jose again. I shouted angrily across the room to ask why they were fighting. Again, Jose accused Belinda of calling him a bad word. Belinda had finally earned a home visit. I told her that I would walk her home after school and talk to her mot
