26、Until now ,scientists have been unable to make use of water droplets (水滴) to produce a significant amount of power. 【1】 While we can't consider umbrellas as generators (发电机) , the latest approach shows there might be a way to get power from rain showers at a level of efficiency that makes these systems practical.
New research has found a method that could produce enough power from a single droplet of rain to light up 100 LED lights. 【2】 It is several thousand times than before.
" 【3】 It shows that a drop of 100 microlitres water released from a height of 5.9 inches can generate the power that can light up 100 small LED lights,"said biomedical engineer WangZuankai from the City University of Hong Kong.
That sounds like a surprising amount of power ,but the engineers used some wonderful tricks to make it happen. 【4】 They have been looking into this type of power production for years , but the physics of converting the energy of raindrops into electricity are much harder to do than getting the energy from a rising tide or a flowing stream.
Although scientists have made great progress , they have to do a lot more experiments. 【5】 However , the researchers hope to have a model ready in the next five years.
A.Everything is possible.
B.That's a big jump forward in efficiency.
C.But we may finally have a breakthrough.
D.They got some useful results from our research.
E.Scientists have been doing a lot of work these years.
F.It is impossible to produce electricity from water droplets.
G.There is still a long way to go to put this idea into practical use.
27、 Almost all researches in sleep explain that nightmares are a reaction to negative experiences that happen during waking hours. However, some of them believe that nightmares do have some real benefits. One 2017 study, for example, found that frequent nightmare sufferers considered themselves as more empathetic (共鸣的). They also showed more of a tendency to unconsciously mirror other people through things like yawning. People who have constant nightmares also tend to think further outside the box on psychoanalysis tasks. Some other researches have found support for the idea that nightmares might be linked to creativity.
People seeking cure for nightmares were not necessarily more fearful or anxious, but rather had a general sensitivity (敏感) to all emotional experiences. Sensitivity is the driving force behind Intense (强烈的) dreams. Heightened sensitivity to threats or fear during the day results in bad dreams and nightmares, while heightened passion or excitement may result in more intense positive dream. And both these forms of dreams may feed back into waking life, perhaps increasing suffering after nightmares, or promoting (促进) social bonds and empathy (共鸣) after positive dreams.
The effects go further still. This sensitivity overflows over into perceptions and thoughts: people who have a lot of nightmares experience a dreamlike quality to their waking thoughts. And this kind of thinking seems to give them a creative advantage. For example, studies show that such people tend to have greater creative talent and artistic expression. And people who often have nightmares also tend to have more positive dreams than the average person.
The evidence points towards the idea that, rather than disturbing normal activity, people who are unfortunate in having a lot of nightmares also have a dreaming life that is at least as creative, positive and vivid as it can be distressing and frightening. What’s more, this imaginative richness is unlikely to be limited to sleep, but also is filled with waking thought and daydreams. Even after people wake up and shake off the nightmare, in other words, a mark of it stays behind, occupying them throughout the day.
【1】What do most sleep researchers think of nightmares?
A.They have no advantages at all.
B.They make people more empathetic.
C.They can contribute to humans’ creativity.
D.They are a reflection of waking behavior.
【2】How can nightmare sufferers probably stop nightmares in theory according to the text?
A.Be more fearful to anxious to nightmares.
B.Try to reduce sensitivity to threats or fear.
C.Avoid excitement as much as possible.
D.Promote social bonds and empathy.
【3】What does the underlined word “perception” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Awareness. B.Content.
C.Relief. D.Determination.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Solution of Nightmares B.The Empathy of Nightmares
C.The Benefits of Nightmares D.The Tendency of Nightmares
28、Canada---The True North"'
In 1867 when Canada was created, a towering Silver Maple tree standing in front of Alexander Muir's house in Toronto gave him an idea. He would write a poem and a song about the great tree, so common in Canada and so symbolic, to celebrate Canada's Confederation(联邦).
His song was called The Maple Leaf Forever and it has been the unofficial Canadian anthem(国歌) to this day.
Last July during a major storm, the tree was knocked down. It fell across a house and a street. But because it was an important historic tree, most of the wood was saved rather than being destroyed.
Recently woodworkers at The Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto, a community projects centre, cut the wood into logs and other usable pieces. The pieces were given to artists to create about 150 different projects.
One artist took a piece of tree. On it, he'll carve (雕刻) a series of historical Canadian scenes. Another wood carver is making beautiful round wooden bowls. Yet another made an interesting candlestick from the tree's branches.
Other woodworkers are making wood wig stands(假发架)for cancer patients who lose their hair. Still others are taking small pieces of wood and making them into pens. And some of the wood was made into gavels (小木槌)to be used by Toronto' s city councilors(市议员).
Some of the projects will be on public show while some will be personally owned.
The people in Toronto who lived near the tree for years and tried to protect it from harm were very sad to see the old tree go. But they are glad to see that their maple tree will live forever in the hearts and homes of many people.
【1】Why did Alexander write The Maple Leaf Forever?
A.To celebrate the birth of Canada.
B.To express his love for the maple tree.
C.To go with his poem.
D.To memorize the maple tree.
【2】Why was the wood of the tree kept by many people?
A.The tree has practical value.
B.They used it to honour Alexander Muir.
C.They thought the tree was publicly owned.
D.The tree was closely tied to Canadian history.
【3】What is the best title for the text?
A.Maple Tree in Toronto B.Projects of Maple Tree
C.Maple Tree Will Live Forever D.A Fallen Maple Tree was saved
29、 The ocean waves (波浪) are getting stronger as a result of climate change, which might cause dangers for coast cities in the future, according to the latest study published in the scientific journal Nature. Researchers found that waves have increased in strength by 0.41 percent per year since 1948. This change is related to the increasing sea-surface temperature, which is driving sea level to rise and bringing more serious and extreme weather.
This relationship is important, as it shows that “global wave power can be a valuable reminder of global warming, carbon dioxide concentration, the global sea level rise or the global surface atmosphere temperature,” said director of research at the Environmental Hydraulics Institute at Spain’s University of Cantabria.
The study reveals a long-term and increasing wave energy. The effects of this increase are particularly clear during the storm seasons. A storm was formed in the winter of 2013-2014 in the North Atlantic, which affected the west coast of Europe. “The storm in 2017 in the Caribbean reminded people of the huge economic effects coming from coastal storms,” said the study.
Researchers hope the findings could provide a more complete understanding of the dangers faced by coastal cities in the coming decades. “Our results show that ignoring the changes in wave power and having sea level rise may cause us to think little of climate change, which will result in not enough or poor preparation,” warned the author Fernando J. Mendez, a professor at the University of Cantabria.
The findings may warn governments to better protect the population in the coastal cities and infrastructure (基础设施) such as ports and harbors by building coastal defenses.
【1】What’s a result of stronger ocean waves?
A. Climate begins to change. B. People living near the coast face danger.
C. Oceans are being polluted. D. Cities will move to other places.
【2】Which of the following may lead to stronger ocean waves?
A. The rising sea- surface temperature. B. Coastal cities.
C. More population. D. More ports and harbors.
【3】Which of the following best explains “reveals” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Affects. B. Invents. C. Selects. D. Shows.
【4】What is the probable purpose of the study?
A. To predict the climate change.
B. To advertise the results.
C. To warn governments and coastal people of the increasing ocean waves.
D. To encourage people in the coastal cities.
