A
My parents were in a fierce quarrel, which I felt really upset about. I didn’t know who I should talk with about my feelings. So I decided to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents’ problem, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”
“What is？” I asked.
“To talk, you and I” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in.”
“But we can’t do anything about it. Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.
And that’s how the most unbeli evable friendship between my grandfather and me started.
Sitting Acre in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every f ew nights!”
1.I wished to get out of the house because ____.
A.I was angry about my parents' quarrel
B.I wanted to escape from the dark house
C.I planned to tell my friend about my trouble
D.I found no one else to share my feelings with
2.Grandpa was happy to see me because _____.
A.he was afraid of darkness
B. he had not seen me for a long lime
C.he could discuss the problem with me
D. he felt quite lonely
3.What can be inferred from the passage？
A. They would have more chats.
B. The lights would go out again.
C. The grandchild was eager to leave.
D. It would no longer be dark.
B
What will power your house in the future？ Nuclear, wind, or solar power？ According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） in the US, it might be leaves —but 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 （催化剂）. 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 Nocera’s 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 doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't 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.
4.Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce
electricity？
a. artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygen
b. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cell
c. the artificial leaves are put in water
d. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity
A . c, a, d, b B. c, a, b, d C. b, c, a, d D. c, b, a, d
5.The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to________.
A. offer people in developing countries access to pure water
B. provide cheaper energy for developing countries
C. gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process
D. build up more power stations in the world
6.The main idea of this passage is about ________.
A. saving energy
B. a mixture of water power and solar energy
C. an invention copying photosynthesis
D. an introduction to the history of artificial leaves
C
JANUARY 15, 2014 KYOTO —A father froze to death while sheltering his eight years old daughter from severe weekend snowstorms that swept northern Japan. Fujita Makoto, one of at
least nine people killed as snowstorms swept across Hokkaido （北海道）, died as he tried to protect his only child Yumi against winds of up to 113 kilometers per hour in Hokkaido, as temperatures fell sharply to minus 6 degrees centigrade.
Makoto's body was uncovered by rescuers looking for the pair after relatives raised the alarm. Yumi was wearing her father's jacket and was wrapped in his arms. The pair had last been heard from at 4 p. m. on Saturday, after fisherman Makoto picked his daughter up from a school where she was being looked after while he was at work. Makoto called his relatives to say his truck had become stuck in the driving snow, which was several meters deep in places. He told them he and Yumi would walk the remaining kilometers. The two were found just 300 meters from the truck at 7 a.m. on Sunday.
Makoto had his body bent over his daughter, gently holding her in his arms and apparently using his body and a warehouse wall to provide shelter. The small girl was taken to hospital, where she was found to have no serious injuries. Her father was officially pronounced dead by doctors at the same hospital.
The newspaper Yomiuri said Yumi’s mother had died o f illness two years earlier. The paper quoted neighbors as saying Makoto had been an extremely caring father who would often delay the start of his working day to enjoy breakfast with his daughter.
His death came as families all over Japan celebrated Girls' Day, a festival in which they gather at home and decorate houses with dolls. “He reserved a cake for his only daughter and was looking forward to celebrating Dolls' Festival together,” a neighbor told the Yomiuri.
7.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？
A.Snowstorm takes away 9-year-old girl’s father
B.Father dies sheltering daughter from snowstorm
C.8-year-old girl made orphan in snowstorm
D.Japanese dad dies in snowstorm
8.When the disaster happened, the father and daughter were ________.
A.returning home after visiting relatives
B.just 300 meters away from home
C.driving home after a visit to a hospital
D.on their way home from the girl’s school
9.Which of the following doesn’t show the father's love for his daughter？
A.Yumi was wearing her father’s jacket.
B.Makoto had his body bent over his daughter.
C.Makoto had been looking forward to Dolls’ Festival.
D.Makoto called his relatives to say his truck had become stuck.
10.What can we infer from the passage？
A.Makoto had just celebrated Girls’ Day with his daughter before he died.
B.The relatives were not careful enough and raised the alarm too late.
C.No one cared for Yumi at home while her dad was at work.
D.The rescuers’ delay resulted in the avoidable death.
D
If your dog or cat is eating grass, it means it’s going to rain.
False（错误的）一maybe. There' s no evidence （证据）that when a dog or cat is eating grass in the front yard, it' s going to rain. But then, there’s no evidence that it isn’t going to
rain, either. Doctors think dogs and cats eat grass to help make their stomach better or maybe just because they like the taste of it.
You’ll get sick if you go outside in cold weather with wet hair.
False. You might feel cold, but you can’t catch a cold because you were outside with wet hair.
Many churches have prevented people from throwing rice at weddings because the rice grows larger in a bird’s stomach when eaten, causing the bird to explode（爆炸）.
True and false. It’s true many churches have prevented people from throwing rice, but this is more likely because the rice can become slick（光滑）on a road or street. There’s nothing about rice that will hurt birds. Rice is an important part of many bird’s food.
Chocolate is Poisonous to dogs.
True. Chocolate has theobromine, which can make your dog sick. So, if you don’t want t o put your dog’s life at risk, don’t feed it with chocolate.
The number of people visiting the hospital goes way up during a full moon.
False. According to researchers, there is no evidence that more people visit the hospital during a full moon, though more people do seem to get caught by the police during that time. The idea that the moon influences behavior has been studied for thousands of years—even the word “lunacy”, which means crazy behavior, is based on the word “luna” or “moon”.
