Below is a brief description of the process involved in selecting the Nobel Prize laureates (获奖者) in physics.

September-Nomination (提名) forms are sent out.

around the world, Nobel Prize laureates in physics and chemistry, and members of the Royal Swedish Academy of

Sciences, among others.

February-Deadline for submission.

The completed nomination forms must reach the Nobel Committee no later than 31st January of the following

year. The Committee screens the nominations and selects the preliminary candidates. About 250-350 names are

The UK Government has announced plans to build eight nuclear power reactors as part of its new energy

strategy.

By 2030, the Government wants 95%of the UK’s electricity to come from low-carbon energy sources. Carbon

dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is released from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas). It is a big cause of

climate change- long-term shifts in weather patterns, including rising temperatures.

The Government wants to increase renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines and solar panels. The

Government hopes that by 2030, 50 gigawatts (亿瓦特) of energy will come from offshore wind farms (ones that

stand in the sea). That’s enough to power all the houses in the UK. There are also plans to build eight new nuclear

reactors. Nuclear reactors generate ( 产生 ) energy through a process called nuclear fission ( 裂变 ), when heavy

atoms are split into lighter ones. The Government wants to make the UK’s energy cleaner and cheaper, and for the

UK to produce its own energy rather than relying on other countries. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has affected the

world’s gas and oil supply, making power more expensive.

The UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, says the plans will lead to clean and secure energy made in Britain.

Some people have said that these plans don’t go far enough and won’t help people who are struggling with high

energy bills at the moment.

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has said that the Government should do more to insulate people’s homes.

Insulating homes is when material is put inside a house to stop heat from getting out. It means people would need

to use less energy to heat their homes.

4. What does the underlined “It” refer to in the second paragraph?

A. Carbon dioxide. B. A fossil fuel.

A renewable energy source. D. The low-carbon energy source.

5. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. The Government wants to be more independent on energy production.

B. Nuclear reactors produce energy through nuclear fission.

C. The UK is unwilling to produce its own energy.

D. In the process of nuclear fission,lighter atoms are split into heavy ones.

6. What is some people’s attitude towards the energy plan?

A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned.

C. Unappreciative. D. Satisfied.

7. What is the best title for the text?

A. Cheaper Energy in the UK

B. Electricity from Low-carbon Energy Sources

C. The UK Government Builds Eight Nuclear Reactors

D. The UK Government Launches Energy Plan

I accidentally found a time capsule, in purple and green floss (丝线) in the midst of sorting out some old

things last month. Faded and worn, it was a friendship bracelet (手链)—an important part of my teenage summers.

Holding it in my hand made me think about those precious memories of childhood, which my kids will never know

firsthand.

My handiwork wasn’t beautiful. But what I remember is the beauty of the offering: slipping something into a

friend’s hand and knowing it would always be with them. The experience was intoxicating—like the serious

business of exchanging wedding rings, it was a symbol of an unbreakable bond. Those bracelets represented how

much we meant to each other, at a time when our friends were becoming the center of our lives.

I slept with my bracelets and showered with them. I wore them all summer long at camp. And I acquired new

bracelets from friends there—friends who received carefully crafted bracelets from me in return, as we said our

tearful end-of-summer goodbyes. I thought having them helped ease the pain of leaving my friends. But now I see

that they were really helping me to leave behind childhood.

My kids don’t go to summer camp. They certainly don’t exchange anything as uncool as bracelets with their

friends. They hang out on Discord (一种聊天工具) in chats that only pause but never end. Our eldest son endlessly

texts on his cellphone as he and his friends make one another talking emojis and TikTok videos.

Their relationships with their phones leave no time or space for writing letters or making bracelets, and their

gifts to one another leave no clear and definite traces. There will be no boxes of letters to sort years from now nor

any hidden bracelets to find. They will have little to physically hold on to.

8. Why does the author compare a bracelet to a time capsule?

A. It is faded and worn.

B. It is shaped like a capsule.
