U. S. electric carmaker Tesla Inc. started construction of its new China factory on January 7. It becomes the first to benefit from a new policy allowing foreign carmakers to set up wholly-owned subsidiaries (全资子公司) in China. The new plant, named Gigafactory 3, is Tesla’s first plant outside the United States. It is located in Lingang Area in the southeast harbor of Shanghai. Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Shanghai government officials attended the groundbreaking ceremony (动工仪式)。“This will be the most advanced Tesla gigafactory," Musk said. “With resources here, we are able to build this factory in record time, and we are hoping to have initial production of Tesla Model 3 toward the end of the year and volume production (批量生产) next year.” The factory, with an investment of over 50 billion yuan, is the largest foreign-invested manufacturing project in Shanghai’s history. It is expected to produce around 3, 000 Model 3 vehicles a week in its early stages. When it becomes fully operational, the factory will produce 500, 000 vehicles per year. The production at the Shanghai plant will help Tesla significantly lower its cost and prices. This will make it more competitive in the Chinese new-energy vehicle (NEV) market. China is the world’s largest auto and NEV market. NEV sales in the mainland jumped 75.6 percent in the first 10 months of 2018 from a year earlier, hitting 860, 000 units. The Chinese government desire to become the global NEV leader, with technologies that meet the highest international standards by 2025. Tesla has tapped into China’ s growing electric car market.

One man’s white bread is another man’s green vegetables. That’s the key from The Personalised Diet, a new book from Israeli authors Eran Segal and Eran Elinav. The authors say it’s time to admit to ourselves that one-size-fits-all diets don’t work, and when it comes to nutrition,it’s about doing what works best for your body, not catching the latest diet fashion. “For years,we’ve been trying to search for that silver-bullet diet and we’ve been miserably failing,” Segal said. “And that’s because the best diet for each person really has to be tailored to that individual.” They conducted a personalised nutrition project at Weizmann, where hundreds of volunteers agreed to have their blood sugar tested after meals. One participant in the study, a woman named Ruti, said she was surprised that it was tomatoes -- not ice cream or candies -- that were raising her blood sugar level. Ruti recalled, “I have now significantly reduced my intake of tomato and I’m feeling much more energetic, which still surprises me. I have already lost a couple of pounds, and I have high hopes that I have finally found the answer to my weight struggle, too.” The Israeli scientists found that some people can consume traditionally unhealthy foods with little or no rise in their blood sugar levels, while others have a stronger response, and therefore shouldn’t eat those foods. It’s those kinds of results that you can only find from a personalised diet. “What we were surprised to find out was just like any other food, there is no such thing as good bread,” Elinav said. “The response to bread was completely individualised.” 【1】What is suggested in the first sentence? A.Everyone has their own tastes. B.Nutrition serves your body best. C.People’s response to the same food is different. D.The latest diet doesn’t fit each person. 【2】What does “that silver-bullet diet” refer to? A.A diet that is low in fat. B.A diet that begins a new diet trend. C.A diet that works best for everyone. D.A diet that provides all the nutrition. 【3】Ruti’s example suggests that to control weight, one needs to . A.eat much fewer tomatoes B.control their blood sugar levels C.struggle for weight loss constantly D.eat according to his or her blood sugar level 【4】Why is Elinav’s opinion on bread mentioned in the last paragraph? A.To advise people not to eat unhealthy food. B.To stress the need of the personalised diet. C.To explain the popularity of white bread. D.To show the importance of good bread. |

Scientists blame greenhouse gases for being a major cause of climate change around the world. This is because greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and make the planet warmer. Now, a team of researchers has announced a successful experiment that turned carbon dioxide into useful liquid fuel. The researchers created a device, called a reactor, which changes bon dioxide into a pure form of formic acid(甲酸). Formic acid is a substance (物质) found in ants and some other insects, as well as in many plants. It is used as an antibacterial material and in the processing of some kinds of clothing. Haotian Wang led the research team. He said in a statement that the results of the experiment were important because formic acid is a major carrier of energy. So, the substance can provide a way to reuse carbon dioxide and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. “It’s a fuel-cell fuel that can generate electricity and send out carbon dioxide which you can grab and recycle again,” Wang said. “Other methods for turning carbon dioxide into formic acid require intense purification processes,” Wang said. Such methods are very costly and require a lot of energy. The Rice University team said it was able to reduce the number of steps in the traditional process to create a low-cost, energy-saving method. The researchers reported the reactor device performed with a conversion rate (转化率) of 42 percent. This means that nearly half of the electrical energy can be stored in formic acid as liquid fuel. The team said the reactor was able to create formic acid continuously for 100 hours with little degradation (退化) of the device’s parts. Wang said the reactor could easily be used to produce other high-value products, including alcohol-based fuels. The researchers noted that the technology could also be a big help in solving another major energy problem—how to store large amounts of power in small places. 【1】What factor is the main cause of climate change? A.Greenhouse gases. B.Chemistry waste. C.Formic acid. D.Liquid fuel. 【2】What do we know about formic acid? A.It is a large amount of power. B.It can be found in ants. C.It is high- value equipment. D.It is a substance in clothing. 【3】What is Wang’s attitude towards his own research? A.Doubtful. B.Aggressive. C.Optimistic. D.Uncaring. 【4】In what magazine can you read this text? A.A travel magazine. B.A sports magazine. C.A music magazine. D.A science magazine. |
