AScientists have claimed a milestone in the drive for new energy—development of the first practical artificial leaf, an advanced solar cell that imitates the process，called photosynthesis(光合作用)，that green plants use to make sunlight and water into energy.“A practical artificial leaf has been a dream of scientists for decades，”said Daniel Nocera，who led the research team．“We believe we have made it．Theartificial leaf shows particular promise as an inexpensive source of electricity for homes of the poor in developing countries. One can imagine villages in India and Africa soon purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology．”The leaf is like the shape of a poker card but thinner．Placed in water in a bright sunlight, it could produce enough electricity to supply a house in a developing country with electricity for a day by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, which are stored in a fuel cell to produce electricity．The“artificial leaf”is not a new concept．The first artificial leaf was developed more than a decade ago by John Ttlrner．However, it was impractical for wider use，as it was composed of rare，expensive metals and was highly unstable with a lifespan of barely one day．Nocera’s new leaf overcomes these problems．It is made of inexpensive materials that are widely available，works under simple conditions and is highly stable．Laboratory studies showed that it could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity．The key to this breakthrough is Nocera’s recent discovery of several new powerful, inexpensive catalysts，which are able to accelerate the chemical reaction under simple conditions．Right now, Nocera’s leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural leaf．Yet he is optimistic that he can boost the efficiency of the device much higher in the future．21．Daniel Nocera describes his artificial leaf as promising in_________________．A．making an artificial plant that can feed itself．B．finding a new kind of catalyst to produce electricity．C．changing the sunlight and water into electricity directlyD．providing electricity for the poor family at a low cost22．According to the passage, catalysts in the artificial leaf________．A．speed up the process of chemical reactionsB．reduce the loss of energy during its operationC．work as a media to store collected energyD．slow down the course of chemical reactions23．The underlined word“it”in the fourth paragraph refers to______．A．photosynthesis B．catalyst used by the solar cell C．Turner’s artificial leaf D．Nocera’ s new leaf24．The passage is most probably from_________．A．a science fiction story B．a fairy tale bookC．an advertisement for solar products D．a science news reportBThe end of the 2014 World Cup does not mean the end of the international competition in Brazil. A major football event which is known as RoboCup will be held in the coastal city Joao Pessoa. Teams of robots from around the world will take part in it and play the game known as soccer in the United States. The robot teams are guided by teams of human beings.Watching robots play football is similar to watching children play the game. The kicks are not good, there are a lot of falls , and people are there to guide and supportthe robot players. Students of the University of Pennsylvania are trying for their fourth victory at the competition. The students have won the last three RoboCup competition in the Netherlands, Mexico and Turkey.Jian Qiaoli is one of the leaders of the University of Pennsylvania team. He says one goal he has set for his team is to make sure the robots can find the ball and know where they are on the playing field. And he wants the team to be able to better control the walking ability of the robots. They should pay more attention to the kicking ability, which is the key to winning the game.Qin He is another leader of the robot team. She says the abilities of the robots improve every year. The robots know the difference between the colors green and red, and they can decide where to go and where the ball is on the playing field. She says the robots are self-learning and don’t need to be told what to do. If there are three robot players on the playing field at the same time, they will communicate with each other to decide different responsibility for each of them. They have very good team play right now.As long as the radar detection(雷达探测) works well, the robots will be very competitive. So RoboCup will be an exciting technology competition. Each team develops thei r own software. Actually, it’s a competition of who has the best software. Some RoboCup participants hope to develop a team of robots that can play against human beings.25. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?A. The 2014 World CupB. Joao PessoaC. RoboCupD. A basketball game26. What can we learn about the robot players?A. They look like children.B. They are from Joao Pessoa.C. They are not very skillful.D. They are against human beings.27. What is the deciding factor for the robots to win the game?A. The ability to find the ball.B. The ability to know the position.C. The ability of walking.D. The ability of kicking.28. What’s the best title for the text?A. The technology competition—RoboCupB. The international competitions in BrazilC. How to develop robot players?D. Can robot players play football?CAs you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like should you play soccer or field hockey，or like whether to cut class or try cigarettes．Making decisions on your own is hard enough，but when other people get involved and try to press you one way or another it can be even harder．People who are your age，like your classmates，are called peers．When they try to influence how you act，or get you to do something, it's called peer pressure．It’s something everyone has to deal with —even adults. Let’s talk about how to handle it．Peers can have a positive influence on each other．Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solarsystem．You might admire a friend who is always a good sport and try to be more like him or her．Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book，and now everyone’s reading it．These are examples of how peers positively influence each other every day．Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways．For example，a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them，your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball，or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shop lift with him．It is tough to be the only one who says“no”to peer pressure，but you can do it．Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is fight and wrong can help you know the right thing to do．Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm，walk away, and resist doing something．You’ve probably had a parent or a teacher advising you to“choose your friends wisely”．Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this．If you choose friends who don’t use drugs, cut class，smoke cigarettes，or lie to their parents，then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do．If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle，talk to someone you trust．Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two．Talking to a parent，a teacher，or a school counselor can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure．29．For whom is the passage most probably written?A．Students B．Parents C．Teachers D．Counselors30．Both Paragraph 2 and 3 are developed________________.A．by space B．by time C．by stories D．by examples31．In the last three paragraphs，the author mainly____．A．explains why peer pressure is so importantB．gives advice on how to deal with peer pressureC．discusses how peers influence usD．show how to make more good friends32．Which of the following may help handle peer pressure?A．Spending more time with your classmates．B．Taking up more relaxing hobbies．C．Choosing friends with no bad habits．D．Doing what your classmates do．DNo matter what type of store you walk into—from the Apple Store to Wal—Mart—you’ll find all types of carefully designed tricks that get you to spend more in ways you may never notice．It shouldn’t be surprising that the main sense that retail(零售)stores go after is your sense of sight，which has a big impact on what we decide to buy，and how long we’re willing to stay in a store．Colors，for example，influence our shopping choices because they are often associated with sales and inspire people to take action．Retailers also create simple navigation roadblocks．For example，people often go to a store just to pick up a single item like milk，but milk is in the back of thestore．You’re forced to walk through and see everything before grabbing your one item．Chances are，unless you put a blinder on when you’re walking through that you’ll grab another item or two．All those carefully designe d stores aren’t structured just to catch your eyeballs with shiny objects．They’re also about forcing you to touch more things．Why? Because touching tends to lead to purchasing for most people．When people touch things they’re more likely to buy them．You might not even notice it，but what you smell when you’re shopping can impact the choices you make to a strange degree．When we smell something like baby powder，we feel all warm toward babies，we just happen to be in the baby department，and we spend a little more money．Odors and scents have a strong tie to memory，thus indirectly affecting our view of a product’s quality as a whole．The sounds you hear in a store also help it produce a better and overall image．A lot of retailers pipe in music specific to a store．Though different forms of music are adopted，they are creating a feeling of getting you to feel but not think things．33．What does the passage mainly tell the readers?A．Shops often encourage customers to touch their goods．B．Customers have to learn many skills of making a good choice．C．Retail stores adopt different ways to encourage people to buy more．D．Retailers always do whatever they can to cheat customers．34．The underlined word“blinder”in Paragraph 3 refers to______．A．a person who is blindB．something covering your eyesC．an object that shinesD．something too bright for people to see35．What’s the main purpose of the passage?A．To inform B．To instruct C．To argue D．To compare第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
