26、   Switching on the lights at night is second nature to most people in the developed world. But electricity isn’t a given in many other parts of the globe.

“A billion people on our planet still lack reliable access to electricity. For them, one of the central applications of electricity is lighting,” says Aaswath Raman, U.C.L.A. materials scientist.

Solar cells can provide remote areas with electricity during the day but require batteries to store that energy for use at night. Raman steam has developed a potential solution: a simple thermoelectric device that produces power when it s exposed to the cold night sky.

All objects, Raman explains, radiate heat. “So a surface that’s looking up at the night sky will, all by itself, send out more heat than the sky sends back to it. It escapes to the upper atmosphere and even out to outer space. And it’s something that anyone can observe at night. So if you go and measure the roof temperature on your house in the early morning hours, say, you should read a temperature that is much lower than the immediate surrounding air temperature.”

Raman reasoned that this temperature difference could be employed to produce electricity. His team built their device using an aluminum disk that acts as a radiative cooler. Its cool side faces the night sky, while its other side is warmed by the air around it. As heat escapes upwards, a thermoelectric generator transforms the temperature difference into electricity that powers a small LED light.

For now, the energy output of the device is just a tiny part of what a solar-cell can produce. Raman sees the device as a complement to solar, providing inexpensive, 24-hour power generation for remote areas of the world- without the need for batteries.

In addition to lighting, Raman says the device could be useful for specialized applications, such as powering wireless sensors and monitoring atmospheric conditions.

【1】What makes Raman’s device possible?

A.The energy stored in batteries. B.The characteristics of aluminum disk.

C.The low temperature at night. D.Objects’ heat loss to the night sky.

【2】What does the underlined word "complement" in Paragraph 6 mean?

A.Solution. B.Replacement. C.Addition. D.Application.

【3】Which of the following words can describe the new device?

A.Practical and economical. B.Complex but powerful.

C.Tiny and labor-saving D.Convenient but costly.

【4】Why does the author write this text?

A.To blame people for wasting electricity. B.To introduce a new invention to readers.

C.To show the consequences of lacking electricity. D.To seek financial support for poor countries.

28、   When you turn on the lights in your house, plug in your smartphone charger,or even charge your electric car, do you know where your power is coming from?

In the United States.there are a number of different sources of energy.The biggest sources of energy are fossil fuels like coal and natural gas.【1】Nuclear power, which is the third biggest source, accounts for almost 20%

And at the smaller end of the scale, hydropower(水力发电), which comes.from things like the Hoover Dam, is responsible for 7% of power generation.【2】.

We don’t just use electricity at home.【3】 When they - have cheap electricity,it results in lower costs on products we buy and the boost can help create more jobs.

【4】.If you live in the Midwest, you probably get more than 65% of your electricity from coal.If you live in the northwest, the biggest source of electricity is hydropower.And if you live in the northeast, you get most of your electricity from natural gas and nuclear.

So when you hear that people want to raise the cost of using fossils fuels to make electricity and force people to switch to even more expensive options like renewable sources wind and solar, realize that it will have a very real effect on your pocketbook and the economy【5】

A.There are also many other sources of energy.

B.They account for two-thirds of the electricity we use.

C.Wind power accounts for 4% and solar, for less than 1%.

D.We need to switch to renewable sources as soon as possible.

E.Businesses and factories all use electricity to make goods and provide services.

F.Depending on what part of the country you live in, the mix of energy sources can look very different.

G:And if the switch to renewable sources is too fast, we could even get to the point where the costs could soar.

29、   Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed. 【1】

In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially since the increasing trend for celebrities to give their children unusual names. 【2】The only restrictions on parents relate to offensive words such as swear words (脏话).

Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in the Lord of the Rings novels and films. 【3】 Since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team.

【4】 Jordan, the British model, recently invented the name Tiáamii for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers).

Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose. In China, there are some rules about what you may call a child – no foreign letters or symbols are allowed. 【5】

In Britain, some names which were previously thought of as old-fashioned have become more popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the strange ones. The top names are fairly traditional – Jack, Charlie and Thomas for boys and Grace, Ruby and Jessica for girls.

A. The parents finally came up with a plan.

B. They decided to call him Superman instead.

C. Names related to sport are also fairly common.

D. Other parents like to make up or combine names.

E. You can call a child almost anything you like in Britain.

F. A couple were recently banned from calling their baby @.

G. Parents there are to blame for naming their child an unusual name.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.

Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.

All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.

Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.

While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and  had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.

Nadia 【8】 X-rays, an ultrasound(超声波) and blood tests to try to figure out what was making her sick . They decided to test for COVID-19 【9】 the surge in cases in New York City, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States.The first tiger at the zoo, which has been shut since mid-March, began showing 【10】 of illness on March 27, according to the US Department of Agriculture National Veterinary Services Laboratories.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

36、I have a muscle disease but I don't look any different from other people. Sometimes, I was too weak【1】 go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an【2】(absent), I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because few fellow students make me【3】(annoy). My ambition is to work for a firm【4】develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around【5】(feel) sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If【8】(have) a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun【9】them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live【10】rich and full a life as you do.

38、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Eighty-five percent of the jobs that today's students will do in 2030 don't exist yet,the Institute for the Future has predicted.That might seem like a high number to reach in only 10 years.But think about the non-mainstream careers that did not exist just a handful of years ago: social media manager,app developer and cloud computing engineer,etc.What role should colleges and universities play in preparing students for a workplace that is constantly changing? Educational institutions are trying to answer that question."We hope they will not only be prepared for whatever the job market looks like in 10,20 or 50 years but be the ones shaping it," said Jenn Stringer,professor at the University of Californian,Berkeley.Here are some of the approaches they're taking.

Some experts argue that the four-year learning model needs to be rethought in a big way. They say education can no longer be seen as something that stops when a person graduates from college.If students could take a year or two off school,get a job,and then return to school a few years later,the education system would offer true life-long learning and better adapt to changing technology.

Fewer employers are willing to train people on the job than the employers 50 years ago, largely as part of an effort to cut costs.To fill the job skills gap,some courses are offered as an add-on to a student's main degree.For example,the courses may include data analysis,web design and digital marketing.The goal is to offer students,a degree aside,some advantages when they seek jobs or promotions in the future.

Other institutions are trying to imitate the workplace within the traditional classroom. Several colleges have partnered with private companies,such as the software company Adobe, to integrate their products into the classroom.Professors at schools who partner with the company are encouraged to use the product for assignments.The idea is that students learn how to create a project that can be used in the real world and the"soft skills"such as teamwork and creativity.
