how to treat their ecosystem without destroying itand gives more insight into the daily lives of Inughuit women.Canary Islands,Spain/Carsten PeterIts hard to capture the speed,texture,and sense of danger of lava flowing from a volcaniceruption,but thats what photographer Carsten Peter achieved with this image.He documented the85-day eruption for National Geographic,then returned to focus on the damage and on the scientificfieldwork that had been done once the slow-moving lava had cooled.Minneriya.Sri Lanka/Brent StirtonPhotographer Brent Stirton provided a window into these animals lives,which she hopes willincrease awareness and stir up sympathy through the photo.The image was tough to capture not only because Stirton needed to get close to the wildanimals for the frame but

seniors,and then two years later（ages 23-26）.The studyparticipants answered questions about materialism,their own personal finance strategies such asbudgeting and any pro-environmental habits they followed.Students were also surveyed about theirmental health,including how satisfied they were with their lives and how theyd rank their personalwell-being.People who save money report better overall

to live within your means,it has clear positive effects on mental health.Certain sustainability efforts also have a similar impact on peoples health and happiness.Forexample,researchers found that the

milestone in fusion energy research.For the first time,researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy thanthey put into the process.The experiment,conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratoryin California,generated 3.15 megajoules of energy,more than the 2.05 megajoules put intocreating it.Nuclear fusion works by forcing together two atoms-most often hydrogen-to make a heavierone-like helium（氦）.This explosive process releases massive amounts of energy.theDepartment of Energy explains.Fusion is the opposite of fission（裂变），the reaction thatpowers nuclear reactors used commercially today.Fusion occurs naturally in the heart of the Sun and the stars,providing these cosmic（宇宙的）objects with fuel.Since the 1950s,scientists have been trying to reproduce it on Earth in orderto make use of the so-called clean,cheap,and almost limitless electricity.According to theInternational Atomic Energy Agency,fusion generates four times more energy per kilogram thanthe fission used to power nuclear plants,and nearly 4 million times more energy than burning oil orcoal.Whats more,unlike fossil fuels,fusion doesnt release carbon dioxide the greenhouse gasthats the main driver of climate change-into the atmosphere.And unlike nuclear fission,fusiondoesnt create long-lived radioactive waste,according to the Department of Energy.But so far,nuclear fusion hasnt solved our energy problems on a grand scale.The recent announcement is a huge step forward in nuclear fusion energy,but applying thetechnology at commercial scale is likely still years away.Chanda Prescod Weinstein,a theoreticalphysicist,pointed out that the process the Department of Energy uses requires tritium（氚），arare and radioactive isotope（同位素）of hydrogen.It may yet convey important informationthat is ultimately transformative.We dont know yet,Prescod Weinstein tweeted.Investors,including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos,have poured billions into clean energy field trying to makefusion commercially workable,and the recent announcement is likely to continue that trend.32.What is the breakthrough in nuclear fusion reaction?A.It releases massive amounts of energy.B.It produces 3.15 megajoules of energy.C.It works by forcing together two atoms.D.It generates more energy than that put into it.33.Why have scientists been conducting nuclear fusion experiments?A.To avoid the commercial use of fission.B.To recycle the byproduct of radioactive waste.C.To reduce emission（排放）of greenhouse gas.D.To aim for the high efficiency in producing energy.34.What does paragraph 5 focus on?A.The attitude of investors.B.The prospect of fusion energy.C.The significance of the announcement.D.The difficulty in producing fusion energy.35.What is the authors attitude towards fusion energy?A.Critical.B.Negative.C.Optimistic.D.Doubtful.第二节（共 5小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A Taste of Chinese Tea CultureChinas traditional tea-making
