power？According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)in the US，it might be leavesbut artificial(人造的)ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy.It is known as photosynthesis(光合作用)Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts(催化劑)Similar to natural leaves，it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water.The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell，which uses those two materials to produce electricity，located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card，scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries.“One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology，”said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea.The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use.The new leaf，by contrast，is made of cheap materials，easy to use and highly stable.In laboratory studies，Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype(原型)could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Noceras recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts.These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight.Right now，the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one.Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available；that is，it doesnt need pure water.This is important for some countries that dont have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”，scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries，especially in India and rural China.【解題導(dǎo)語】 本文是一篇科普文。文章介紹了科學(xué)家利用人造樹葉仿效光合作用進(jìn)行發(fā)電這一新發(fā)明。16Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?aartificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenbthe hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellcthe artificial leaves are put in waterdthe fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityAc，b，a，d Bc，a，b，dCb，c，a，d Dc，a，d，b答案B細(xì)節(jié)排序題。文章的第三段提到人造樹葉發(fā)電的過程：先把它放在一桶水里，然后樹葉將水分解為氫氣和氧氣，而氫氣和氧氣被存儲于燃料電池里，隨后電池利用氫氣和氧氣的反應(yīng)發(fā)電。17Which of the following statements about new artificial leaves is NOT WRONG according to the article?AThey are inexpensive but unstable.BThey are as efficient at carrying out photosynthesis as natural leaves.CThey can work only in pure water.DThey need several catalysts to help them work efficiently.答案D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第六段中的“The wonderful improvements come from Noceras recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts.”可知，人造樹葉發(fā)電能夠更有效率的關(guān)鍵在于催化劑。18The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to_.Abuild up more power stations in the worldBprovide cheaper energy for developing countriesCoffer people in developing countries access to pure waterDgain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process答案B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，人造樹葉發(fā)電這一技術(shù)可以幫助發(fā)展中國家獲得便宜的能源。19The main idea of this passage is _.Aan introduction to the history of artificial leavesBan invention copying photosynthesisCgiving energy to the poorDa mixture of water power and solar energy答案B主旨大意題。綜觀全文可知，本文主要講述了人造樹葉模擬光合作用發(fā)電這一新發(fā)明。20The underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_”Aproduce Bhold Cprevent Dcopy答案D詞義猜測題。畫線部分的前文介紹了什么是光合作用，后文介紹了利用人造樹葉效仿這種光合作用進(jìn)行發(fā)電的內(nèi)容，所以該詞的含義應(yīng)該是“仿效”，故D項(xiàng)是最佳答案。.閱讀表達(dá)(共5小題；每小題3分，滿分15分)閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求)。With many job postings(公開招聘) now requiring candidates (應(yīng)聘者) to apply via email, first impressions are made not with a handshake but with words on a computer screen.Just like its usually a good idea to dress best for an interview, emails also should be refined._， here are some tips：Forget what instant messaging has taught you.Recruiters (招聘人員) report that young professionals often send overly casual emails, treating an application like an instant message (IM). When using IM with friends and acquaintances, its acceptable to use shortened forms of words or phrases and incomplete sentences. In business correspondence (信函), however, stick to the rules your Chinese and English teachers taught you.Dont be cool.Your lovely email background of pets playing with each other has got to go.Comic fonts (字體) are unprofessional. HR managers (人力資源經(jīng)理) recommend plain fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial, and black text on a white background.They also warn against sending emails from strange addresses. Littlebird or Chinatiger might not get what you hope for.Dont be too creative in the subject line(標(biāo)題)Use plain, simple language like “Talented candidate seeking position as name of position” or “Enthusiastic candidate seeking position with name of company”. Use one word to describe yourself, but do not go to extremes.The same rules apply to a paper resume (簡歷) and cover letter. Recruiters have only seconds to devote to each cover letter they receive. Many look at just three things: the positions youve held, the companies youve worked for，and your educational background.Anything_else,_such_as_a_long_story_about_yourself,_can_get_in_the_way.21Whats the purpose of this passage？(Please answer within 15 words.)_答案To give advice on email manners that affect jobhunting results.22Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?You should avoid using very cool or lovely background in your application email._答案Your lovely email background of pets playing with each other has got to go.23Please fill in the blank in the second paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.)_答案To avoid failing your search/application24. According to the passage, what should an email application be like? (Please answer within 10 words.)_答案It should be formal and simple. 25Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese. _答案除此之外的任何描述，比如關(guān)于你自己的很長的故事，都是多余的。寫作素材集錦單詞affordable支付得起的短語1owe.to.把歸功于2have access to有機(jī)會使用句子Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available.除此之外，這種設(shè)備可在任何可以利用的水中工作。 7
