According to scientists at the Massac

10、husetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in the US, it might be artificial leaves.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known asphotosynthesis(光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to imitate this process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagu

11、es at MIT can be seen as a specialsilicon chip withcatalysts(催化劑). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogenand oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuelcell(電池), using those two materials to produce electricity, located either

12、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 aninexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic pow

13、er system based on this technology” said an American scientist, Nocera.An artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensiveand unstable for practical use. The new leaf, however, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In labora

14、tory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf could operatecontinuously for at least 45 hours.The wonderful improvements come from Noceras recent discovery of several powerful new,inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energytransformation inside the leaf moreefficient with water and

15、sunlight. Right now the new leaf is about 10 times more effective at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available.This is important for some countries that dont have access to pure water.Hopefully, each home could have access to the new a

My first part-time job came when I was 18 years old. I was working in a paint factory. B

20、ecause of the terrible smell of pain, it because normal for me to temporarily pass out during my lunch time.All of my spare time was spent writing and sending stories to any publisher that would read them, dreaming that one day losing consciousness while eating my ham sandwiches would no longer be a

21、 part of my daily routine.I discovered content mills, where a writer could devote his time to writing soul-destroying online copy. It provided a little pay, but I wouldnt faint. So I quit my day job. But it is difficult to work from home. At times, I would lose all passion for writing 500 words abou

22、t a bed for a few pounds, but the terrible smell of paint reminded me to get back to writing.Several months later, the money got better. I was given consistent work writing for one of the largest entertainment websites in the world. The job was simple: I complained about everything that was wrong wi

23、th society and they paid me 50 for each article. A guy from the website asked if I would be interested in leaving my small town life to move to the big city of Manchester to become a professional writer for them. I accepted.After a pretty successful year, I was offered a promotion. Just 18 months ea

My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.In fact, I was a victim of a ge

28、nder stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job int

29、erviews and interviewers would say: “Its great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. Its a sector that

30、 really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days its as important as reading and writing. Ive realized that at university Id achieved the wrong kind of lite

31、racy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.Now I have a five-year-old daughter.

35、ive through any suburb in the U.S. Today, and its hard to miss the recycling bins that have become companions to Americas trash cans. Recycling has become common, as people recognize the need to care for the environment. Yet most peoples recycling consciousness extends only as far as paper, bottles,

36、 and cans. People seldom find themselves facing the growing problem of e-waste.E-waste rapidly increases as the techno- fashionable frequently upgrade to the most advanced devices, and the majority of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). Some people who track such waste say that users throw away nearly

37、 2 million tons of TVs, VCRs, computers, cell phones, and other electronics every year. Unless we can find a safe replacement, this e-waste may get into the ground and poison the water with dangerous toxins (毒素), such as lead, mercury, and arsenic. Burning the waste also dangerously contaminates the

38、 air.However, e-waste often contains reusable silver, gold, and other electrical materials. Recycling these materials reduces environmental problems by reducing both landfill waste and the need to look for such metals, which can destroy ecosystems.A growing number of states have adopted laws to ban

39、dumping e-waste. Still, less than a quarter of this waste will reach lawful recycling programs. Some companies advertising safe disposal in fact merely ship the waste to some developing countries, where it still ends up in landfills. These organizations prevent progress by unsafely disposing of wast

40、e in an out- of- sight, out- of- mind location.However, the small but growing number of cities and corporations that do handle e- waste responsibly represents progress toward making the world a cleaner, better place for us all.1、What can we infer from the first paragraph?AMany Americans now have acc

41、ess to recycling bins.BE-waste cannot be put into trash cans in the U.S.CMost Americans have realized the dangers of e-waste.DMost of Americas trash cans are made of recycled material.2、What can best replace the underlined word “contaminates” in Paragraph 2?Apollutes. Bheats.Cabsorbs. Dreduces.3、How

42、 does the author feel about burying e-waste in landfills?AIts important. BIts unsafe.CIts acceptable. DIts uncommon.4、Whats the authors purpose in writing this text?ATo tell us how to recycle e-waste.BTo talk about the future of e-waste.CTo discuss if its necessary to recycle e-waste.DTo encourage u

43、s to deal with e-waste properly.25（10分）The weather.Its always a talking-point in Britain.Why is that?Is it something strange about British people?Well its nice to think that a lot of British people are eccentric（古怪）,I mean,the place is famous for it. But really,its the weather thats the point of not

44、e.The UK has some of the most interesting weather in the world.Britain does not have a CLIMATE.It just has WEATHERIn hot countries most of the indoor places that need to be comfortable are air-conditioned,and in cold countries most of the places that need to be comfortable are properly heated.The UK

45、 is the exception,since the weather is often interesting and no one really takes heat and cold seriously.So although the weather can be very cold,very hot,very wet,or just wildly confused,it always takes people by surprise.When it gets to winter and there is actually some SNOW,it always takes the pe

46、ople by surprise.It is frontpage news,and even a few inches of snow brings the country to a standstill.But then,what happens next is even more surprising and catches the folk off guard completely.And who could possibly have predicted it?!IT MELTS! Flooding!What a surprise!Then in the summer,it gets

47、very hot.If it had been Thailand or Australia,thered be no problem.It is supposed to be hot,so,there is air conditioning.But in the UK,just total confusion at the sudden hot weather.Shock,health problems,and despite the fact that the country is considered to be where it always rains,summertime bring

48、s drought! But do people have cisterns（水箱）and reserve water tanks?Wouldnt it make sense for people to store rainwater in case of drought?Of course it would,but it is a dependency-culture where people have been trained to be dependent on the state,which then means that in emergency people are stuck!W

49、hy is the British weather so strange?It is something to do with the combination of an almost Arctic latitude（緯度）combined with being an island and having the Gulf Stream bringing warm weather from the tropics.Helpful people in the know on geographical meteorology（氣象學(xué)）have commented that the general s

50、ituation with the UK weather is even more complex,as many different things contribute to the changeable weather.As well as the North Atlantic drift,there is the fact that the UK is affected by the following major air masses: the tropical maritime（海的）Gulf Stream,the Polar Maritime air from the North,

51、the Arctic Maritime,the Polar Continental,and the Tropical Continental.Theres also fast flowing air in Jet streams.Air goes around in convection currents in Hadley cells and in Ferrel Cells.Because the British Isles can get weather coming from hot or cold zones,and from land or sea,a changeable hot/

52、cold wet/dry weather is found.1、What is the British attitude toward heat and cold?ASerious. BIndifferent. CPositive. DCareful.2、How do the British feel when they see snow in winter?AExcited. BFrightened. CAmazed. DDisappointed.3、What happens when the British meet a drought in summer?AThey have got w
