21、Solar power is now the cheapest source of electricity in history, according to a 2020 report. But there’s something holding this clean energy powerhouse back: Space. Unlike fossil fuel power stations, solar farms need a lot of room. While conventional solar farms sometimes attract controversy due to the amount of land they use, floating solar farms occupy much less valuable space above bodies of water.
“As demand for land increases, water bodies are increasingly being targeted for renewable energy. Deployment of solar on water increases electricity production.” said Giles Exley, PhD researcher and lead author from Lancaster University. The research team set about computer modelling using the My Lake simulation programme and data collected by the UK’s Centre for Ecology and Hydrology from England’s largest lake, Windermere.
Their results show that floating solar arrays can cool water temperatures by shading the water from the sun. At scale, this could help to mitigate against harmful effects caused by global warming. However, some complex conditions can result in the bottom layer of water becoming deoxygenated and makes water quality worse- if floating solar farms are stationed.
“Floating solar could help to reduce the negative effects of global warming which will influence on these bodies of water,” Exley said. “However, there are also real risks of disadvantageous impacts, such as deoxygenation causing undesirable increases in nutrient concentrations and killing fish. We need to do more researches to understand the possibility of both positive and negative impacts.”
The larger the solar installation the greater the effect on water temperature increases. Further studies will be needed to determine the suitable size array and design and their effects for individual lakes and artificial lakes.
【1】What do we know about floating solar in the first paragraph?
A.The electricity of floating solar is cheaper than the solar power’s.
B.Fossil fuel power stations take larger room than the solar farms.
C.Floating solar has aroused greatly controversy around the public.
D.Floating solar farms could save more space efficiently.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “mitigate against” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Increase.
B.Decrease.
C.Support.
D.Promote.
【3】What can we infer from the research of Giles Exley?
A.There is no negative effects to develop floating solar.
B.The research team collect the information from computer.
C.The water temperatures under the floating solar arrays are lower.
D.Floating solar can get rid of the drawbacks of global warming.
【4】What is the research team going to do next?
A.To install more floating solar.
B.To do more researches.
C.To design different floating solar.
D.To measure the size of the floating solar.
22、As an alternative to online colleges, these online learning platforms tend to be a little more flexible and may even offer more specific or unusual classes you can’t find at a traditional college, but it’s important that you compare your options to find what’s best for you.
Udacity
The programs of the platform mainly refer to web development, programming, cloud computing and data science. Each program includes hands-on practice, real-world applications and examples, individual code reviews, and real instructors and career coaches who can address your individual needs. It’s about $ 399 monthly, or roughly $ 597 if you buy the full four months at once.
MasterClass
Although MasterClass offers more than just creative courses, its well-chosen offerings are the ones that put A-list actors, writers, artists, musicians, and more in the teacher’s seat. Most courses have around 20 lessons. Its courses are video-based, with practical advice and demonstrations mixed in with straightforward lectures, workbooks and class discussions. The price is about $15 per month for unlimited access, but you have to sign up for one year at a time.
EdX
Real college courses, created and taught by real college instructors, are available in a variety of fields and topics. The big selling point for EdX is that the majority of their courses are free—but there’s a catch. If you’re just taking the class for your own learning experience, the free version will probably work, but if you want to have formal verification(认证)for professional reasons, the “verified certificate” option costs about $ 49 per class.
Pluralsight
Designed with working professionals in mind, Pluralsight offers courses in subjects like software development, data science, information security and more. Regardless of how many classes you want to take, the price is about $ 30 per month for a personal plan(you can enjoy a 10% discount for a complete year).

24、 Hybrid cars, also called hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), are cars that use more than one source of energy to run. They differ from the majority of cars on the road today in several ways. The main difference is that HEVs run on gasoline and electricity. An HEV car has a battery-powered motor as well as an engine that runs on gasoline.
A hybrid car is a bit more expensive to produce than a regular car even though its engine is smaller. The reason for the greater expense is that the engine is more complex. It has specialized mechanisms that allow it to operate using gasoline and electric power. It also contains a computer that works differently from those of regular cars. Even though it is more expensive to purchase, it costs less to own than gas-powered cars. When an HEV car is at a stoplight or going at a speed below 15 miles per hour, its special computer tells it to run just on electric power. When the computer senses that the car needs more power, it puts the gasoline engine back to work. The computer is constantly deciding whether the car will use electricity, gas, or a combination of the two.
Because the HEV has electric power to help it run, it uses much less fuel than most cars. In fact hybrid cars are the most fuel-efficient cars that exist today. They can get from 50 to 60 miles per gallon on average. The high mileage saves money for the car owner and conserves precious supplies of petroleum. Hybrid cars help the environment in other ways too. For example, when
the HEV is using electric power, it does not send out poisonous smoke that pollute the air.
Despite the differences between hybrid cars and regular cars, HEVs offer the same feel as regular cars. They handle the same way and speed up and stop in the same way too. HEVs, though, are generally smaller than gasoline-powered cars. Their rounded, aerodynamic frame helps add to their fuel efficiency but unfortunately does not add to the amount of space inside the vehicle.
【1】Which statement best explains the characteristics of an HEV?
A.Safe and reliable. B.Expensive but long-lasting.
C.Smaller engine, greater power. D.High price, low carbon.
【2】The transformation between the gasoline and electricity in an HEV is operated by ________.
A.the engine B.the battery
C.the computer D.the driver
【3】For what purpose was the HEV invented?
A.To save energy. B.To provide better service.
C.To lower the expense of purchase. D.To give the drivers a different feeling.
【4】Where does the passage probably come from?
A.A health report. B.A science magazine.
C.A vehicle advertisement. D.A travel journal.
