Carbon Footprint Calculator: Know Your Impact
A Carbon Footprint Calculator is an online tool designed mainly to help individuals and families measure
their impact on the environment. By entering simple information about your energy use, daily travel, and waste
habits, it estimates the amount of greenhouse gases that you produce each year.
Why Use It?
The main purpose of this tool is to raise awareness about how daily actions impact the planet. It shows the
hidden effects of things we do every day, helping people understand their personal contribution to climate
change. This awareness is an essential first step toward adopting a more eco-friendly lifestyle. In addition, the
calculator offers personalized and practical tips to reduce your emissions(排放)—— many of which can also
help you save money.
How It Works?
The calculator uses science and data that experts agree on. You type in your information,and it does the
math for you. The system is designed to be simple and user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to use.
How to Start?
Getting started is straightforward. You only need basic information about your household,such as your
average electricity and natural gas consumption, transportation methods, and waste disposal(处理) habits. To
give you a clearer idea of common emission values, here is a
table showing average yearly emissions per person(in lbs CO₂):
Category Source Emissions (lbs CO₂)
House Electricity 3,500Natural Gas 2,700
Transport One Car 10,800
Waste General 800
1. What is the calculator's main function?

Recently, I spent time with my 14-month-old grandson, Theodore. It was an eye-opening experience
because, as a grandfather,I was able to play and interact with him without having to balance other
responsibilities. His parents were more than happy to let him and me play while they caught up on some sleep.
His days were full of exploration and inquiry. Every drawer and cupboard had all sorts of new stuff that
needed to be taken out, examined, sometimes thrown and sometimes put carefully away. It brought back
memories as he went through the same drawers his father had explored over 30 years ago.
But what struck me the most were the hours of concentration trying out new stuff and working to
understand what was happening. He spent a long time playing with five stacking rings. He didn't just stack(摞
起来) them. He dropped them onto the carpet where they stayed still, and on the hard floor where they rolled.
He went back and forth, testing how each ring behaved in different places. He watched closely every time.
Theodore was always observing, thinking, and learning. It reminded me that when we' re very young, we'
re all great learners. But as we grow older, many of us lose that motivation.Instead of thinking critically, we' ll
try to fit whatever new information we might encounter into our existing worldview instead of expanding our
horizons.
The world changes. If we don't keep up, we fall behind. How can you have relevant opinions when you
don't understand the issue itself? People are satisfied with what they knew years ago, or what they heard from
an article titled" Experts say..". People lack the motivation to question what they hear or to understand differentpoints of view. We can't investigate everything like Theodore, but we can stay curious. Being a successful
creative person demands that we be lifelong learners.
4. What can we infer from Theodore's exploration in paragraph 2?
A. He was looking for his father's old toys.
B. He was creating disorder without any purpose.
He was helping grandparents with housework.
D. He was naturally curious about his environment.
5. How did Theodore try to understand the rings?
A. By lining them up to prevent falling.
B. By following instructions from adults.
C. By concentrating on making them stand still.
D. By observing movements on different surfaces.
6. What makes adults fall behind according to the author?
A. A fear of doing things wrong.
B. A lack of curiosity to explore.
C. A distraction of various activities.
D. A distrust in provided information.
7. What is the author's purpose in telling Theodore's story?
A. To describe a grandparent's role.
B. To motivate people to keep learning.
C. To prove that early education is vital.
D. To show how curiosity is passed down.
C
Do you have trouble recognising faces, or do you never forget a face? According to a new study, if you are
better at face recognition, you are likely to have more supportive relationships. This is true regardless of our
personality type.
An international research team ran several studies involving more than 3,000 people.Participants were
asked to memorise new faces or identify the faces of famous people. The results showed that those who scored
higher tended to have closer and more supportive relationships. For example, people who recognised more
faces reported having much more close friends. As lead researcher Dr. Laura noted,“People who identified
more faces typically had larger supportive social networks.”
Interestingly, the study found that facial recognition skill is not tied to how sociable a person is. Being
outgoing doesn't guarantee a good memory for faces.“Our findings rule out the idea that being sociable meansyou' ll probably be great at recognising faces. It also helps to dispel the common wrong idea that if you don't
recognise someone, you are less sociable,”Dr. Laura explained.
Why does facial recognition skill matter? Recognising someone helps build trust and connection. If you
remember a person you' ve met before, it's easier to continue your conversation and strengthen your
relationship. It also makes the other person feel valued. On the other hand, if you don't recognise them, they
may feel ignored. You might lose the chance to deepen the relationship. Dr. Laura says that being recognised by
someone also develops a person's self- worth.
The researchers suggest that small actions can make social events more open to everyone.For example,
using name tags at school activities or community gatherings can help those who find it hard to recognise faces.
If someone seems unsure of your name, a gentle reminder can also make communication smoother.
8 What did the research show about the high scorers of the test?
They had more famous friends.
8 They enjoyed larger social circles.
7. They showed better personality types.
0. They remembered every face they met.
9. What does the underlined word“dispel” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Remove.
B. Confirm.
C. Challenge.
D. Strengthen.
10. What may happen if one fails to recognise someone?
A. It may build up one s self- worth.
B. It may create unexpected connections.
C. It may set barriers to a deeper relationship.
D. It may keep things fresh for all participants.
11. What do the researchers suggest people do for social events?
A. Train people to remember names.
B. Use tools to help face-blind people.
C. Reduce social gatherings regularly.
D. Remind strangers of discussing topics.

Americans consume 1.6 billion pounds of coffee annually. Yet, more than 70% of it becomes waste 1.1
billion pounds of used coffee grounds. These nutrient-rich leftovers inspired Luo( Danl, a researcher at the
University of Washington, to explore their potential.Used coffee grounds are full of nutrients, which makes
them great for growing Mycelium(菌丝体). This white, root-like structure can join loose items into a tough,waterproof, and light-weight product.
Luo's team then developed Mycofluid. It is a smooth mixture combining used coffee grounds, brown rice
flour. mycelium, and other natural sticky items. They then shot the mixture with mushroom pores (孢子), which
can grow over the objects to form that solid skin. The skin turns the coffee grounds—— even when formed into
complex shapes—— into a flexible and earth-friendly replacement for plastics.
The process is similar to growing mushrooms at home: over 10 days in a wet container,mushrooms grew
around the structures. They formed a protective shell that held everything together and made the material
stronger.( once dried, the final product matched plastic in strength but could fully break down. Using a 3D
printer, they shaped the Mycofluid into items like packaging or statues.
The material is heavier than plastic yet closer to the thickness of cardboard. It absorbed very little water,
held its shape after drying, and could replace plastic packaging for delicate items. Meanwhile, all components
are digestible, which helps to reduce plastic pollution.
Working on a large scale(规模) with Mycofluid could be challenging because it depends on specific types
of used coffee grounds. Still, the team is looking atother recycled materials.“This innovation highlights how
everyday waste could help fuel a greener future,” said Luo.“For example, we can transform used coffee into
eco-friendly materials using natural growth processes.
12. What motivated Luo Danl) to start the research?
A. The huge amount of coffee waste.
B. The high cost of coffee production.
C. The nutritional needs of mycelium.
D. The popularity of coffee consumption.
13. What is the function of mushroom spores in creating Mycofluid?
A. To create a protective layer.
B. To help the material dry quickly.
C. To provide food for the mycelium.
D. To mix with coffee grounds smoothly.
14. What can be a broader significance of this innovation?
A. Advancing 3D printing technology
B. Fighting widespread fuel pollutionl
C. Encouraging waste-to-resource approaches.
D. Achieving consistent qualities of coffee beans.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Challenges of Mycelium Coffee Materials
B. The Environmental Impact of Coffee Consumption
C. Coffee Grounds as Nutrients:A 3D Printing SolutionD. Mycelium: Turning Coffee Waste into Green Products

Have you ever struggled with English spelling? You' re not alone. 36 the 17th century, scholars

rules, making uniformity 37 (possible). Over time,these systems mixed. (forny use spelling we

Many Latın-rooted words entered English through French anter the Norman Conquest(诺曼征服). Old
English, a Germanic language, was replaced by French in official contexts for 300 years. When English

Supporters of spelling reform argue that sound-based adjustments would improve reading and writing
skills. Others oppose this, 43 (sonvince) that current spellings preserve linguistic history. For example,

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I have always been quiet and shy. While my classmates enjoyed big parties, I felt most comfortable alone
with my sketchbook (速写本). But deep inside my heart I dreamed of an adventure——I hoped one day I could
drive a car on a long, open road, stopping somewhere remote to paint beautiful landscapes.My dad knew about this dream.“When you graduate and get your driver's license,” he said to me,“you can
borrow my car.” Those words became my goal. I couldn't wait for that!
That day came in the summer after graduation. My dad handed me the key to his old car as promised. My
heart beat fast as I sat in the driver's seat. This was it—— my first taste of independence! I backed out of the
driveway onto our quiet street. For a few seconds, I felt free.But then, disaster struck. I turned too early and
crashed into a streetlight.
The joy was gone. I saw the damage——a big dent (凹痕) in the front. My dad came out.He wasn't angry,
but he was serious.“You need to get it fixed,” he said. I knew he was right,but how could I afford the repair?
I tried to find a part-time job, but failed: the local restaurant needed experienced staff,
and the supermarket wasn't hiring. I thought about drawing portraits for people on the street,but the idea made
me deeply uncomfortable. How could one as shy as me ask strangers to pay for a drawing?
After days of worry, I forced myself to be brave. I gathered my drawing supplies, picked out my best
artworks, and went to the busy night market. I found a small empty spot, set up my easel (画架) and put my
drawings on display. As I waited,I felt my face burning. Would people laugh at me? But to my surprise, people
started to stop and look. They seemed interested in my drawings.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

Dear Paul,
I'm writing to share my choice for the translation. I prefer“fear no oppression ( 压迫) or
force”.“Fear no one” is too general and doesn’t specifically convey the meaning of not being
afraid of the kind of“oppression or force” that shows national integrity.“Fear no oppression or
force” clearly points out the specific aspects that the nation is not afraid of, which better
matches the connotation of“不畏强暴”。
Yours,
Li Hua
After a short while, a middle aged man with a friendly face walked up. He looked at my drawings
carefully and said,“Your paintings are really good. Can you draw a portrait for me?” I was a
little nervous at first but then I took a deep breath and said yes. I focused on his face and started to
draw. When I finished, he was very satisfied and paid me. This gave me a lot of confidence.
That summer, I painted for many different people at the night market every evening. I met all
kinds of people, some were curious, some were full of praise. Through this experience, I not only
earned enough money to repair the car but also became more confident. I realized that as long as I
have the courage to step out, I can overcome my shyness and achieve my goals. And my dream of
driving to paint landscapes seemed closer.
