22、The challenge of storing energy year-round has been one of the biggest obstacles to the widespread adoption of green power. However, Polar Night Energy has developed the world’s first fully functional commercial sand battery, which could offer a low-cost, eco-friendly solution to the storage problem. It is the first commercial sand battery in the world, and it was built in Kankaanpaa, Finland in 2022.

Dr. Natalia Schiff, expert of Polar Night Energy, says that sand battery works by heating sand up to high temperatures (at around 500℃) using renewable energy, such as solar or wind power. The hot sand can then be stored for months or even years, and then discharged to provide heat or electricity when needed.

The Polar Night sand battery has a capacity of8 megawatt hours (MWh) of thermal (热量的) energy, and it can discharge about 200 kilowatts (kW)of power. This means that it can provide heat for about 4,000 homes for a day, or it can generate enough electricity to power about 100 homes for a day.

Sand battery is relatively inexpensive to build, and it is compatible (兼容的) with a wide range of renewable energy sources. It also can be built in larger sizes to store more energy, which is a promising new technology for storing renewable energy.

Sand batteries could be a valuable tool to combat climate change. They could help to make renewable energy more reliable and available, which would reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. They could also be used to provide heat in areas that are not connected to the electricity.

As the world transitions to a clean energy future, sand batteries could play an important role in helping to balance the energy and ensuring that we have a reliable source of energy when we need it.

【1】What is the characteristic of sand battery?

A．Costly and demanding.

B．Cheap and clean.

C．Costly and imaginary.

D．Cheap but polluting.

【2】What does Dr. Natalia Schiff tell us?

A．Working model of sand battery.

B．Statistical method of the research.

C．Theoretical basis of making batteries.

D．Historical analysis of renewable energy.

【3】What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 5 mean?

A．Comfort.

B．Commit.

C．Fight for.

D．Fight against.

【4】What is the author’s attitude toward sand battery?

A．Unclear.

B．Dismissive.

C．Doubtful.

D．Favorable.

23、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Make traditional treasures come alive

The Palace Museum Director Shan Jixiang delivered a cultural heritage speech on Feb 27 in Beijing, which was co-organized by the Beijing Diplomatic Service Bureau and Beijing Housing Service Corporation for Diplomatic Missions. 【1】

On the theme The World of the Palace Museum and the Palace Museum of the World, the 64-year-old director shared his ideas about how to make traditional treasures come alive again. During the speech, which lasted two and a half hours, Shan touched on topics including upgrading museum infrastructure(基础设施), restoring cultural sites, digitalizing online museums, setting up restoration hospitals, providing better visitor experiences and promoting the Palace Museum’s cultural items.

“The abundant collection of cultural objects at the Palace Museum is the inspiration for the creative souvenirs and cultural items available,” Shan said. “【2】” Throughout 2017, the total sales of Palace Museum’s cultural items have been more than 1 billion yuan ($158million). Explaining the huge success of Palace Museum’s cultural souvenirs, Shan said: “The museum opened a shop on the e-commerce website Taobao in 2008, but sales remained neither high nor low for years, as more than 80 percent of the souvenirs sold in stores in the past were not related to our museum.” “Therefore, I wanted to change the situation. Now, souvenirs from the Palace Museum cover almost every aspect of life. After all, what matters to a museum is not how many visitors they have, but how close they are to people’s daily lives.”

【3】 Around 200 “doctors” are employed to analyze, examine, detect flaws or damage in ancient objects and restore them using more than 100 pieces of specialized equipment, including 3-D printers and scanners. The restoration hospital covers 13,000 square meters and boasts the nation’s most advanced restoration workshops.

John Aquilina, Malta’s ambassador to China said that Shan’s speech showed a totally different Palace Museum to foreign people. “China enjoys a long and profound culture and many of the national treasures have been preserved at the Palace Museum. It is no easy task to preserve them well. 【4】”

A. I truly express my respect for Shan and his team for their contributions.

B. With regard to cultural heritage restoration, Shan said the museum opened a restoration hospital at the end of 2016.

C. A total of 600 people from all walks of life, including over 100 foreign guests, participated in the activity.

D. I will learn more about Chinese culture from the magnificent ancient objects.

E. Our design teams often study consumer demands and create cultural items that are nice to look at and practical to use.

F. Traditional craftsmanship is combined with modern methods, and the lives of ancient cultural objects will be lengthened by the so-called doctors.

24、   A small robot may help children who are recovering from a long-term illness in the hospital or at home. These children may feel isolated(分离的) from their friends and classmates. However, there is a piece of good news for them. 【1】 —Through the robot, the children can hear their teachers and friends.

Anyone who has had a long-term illness knows that recovering at home can be lonely. This can be especially true of children. They may feel left out. 【2】 This isn't good for their recovery. They need friends. But their friends can't come to play with them because they have to attend school. Now the robot can be their friend. The robot is called AVl. AVl goes to school for a child who is unable to leave home while recovering from a long-term illness. 【3】 They carry the robot between classes and put the robot on the child' s desk.

【4】 The founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AVl works. She says from home the child uses a phone to start the robot. Then they use the phone to control the robot' s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child.

The best part is that students can take part in classroom activities from wherever they are recovering -- whether at home or on the hospital bed. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras, which makes communicating easier. It means they can communicate with their teachers and classmates easily. 【5】

A．So they won't feel left out at all.

B．They just want to recover quickly.

C．As a result, they can get really sad.

D．The robot can take their place at school.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed (离开) my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room; my heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. John, Bryce, Ro, I thought, everybody is on here except me. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the basketball team but I was not.

I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Hey coach, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct?” I asked anxiously.

“Yes. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year,” the coach replied without the slightest bit of regret.

I could feel the hot, bitter tears building in my eyes, and I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I slowly walked away, every one of them jumping around with excitement after seeing that they made the team.

I felt dead inside，like nothing mattered. I trudged (步履艰难) through the rest of school; walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. My mind was also blank for the rest of the school day; everything my teachers said went in one ear and out the other.

After school, as I walked to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw all my friends gathered near the back of the lot，celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them, trying not to think about being one of the only people in our friend group to not make the team.
