Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I liked to help others, so I was studying to become a firefighter. My parents always encouraged me at that time. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help them. It’s the mindset. which is the most difficult part in this job!
One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the Burrito Joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!
For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behaviour. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me, it reminded me when I was young and my mum brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.

As reported in the journal Nature, one system can directly remove carbon dioxide from sources ranging from flue gas (烟道气) to the atmosphere by using electricity to induce a water-and-oxygen-based electrochemical reaction. This technological achievement could turn direct air capture (捕获) from edge industry into a promising front for climate change relief.
Most carbon-capture systems involve a two-step process: First, high-pH liquids are used to separate the carbon dioxide, which is acidic, from mixed-gas streams such as flue gas. Next, the carbon dioxide is regenerated from the solution through heating or by injecting a low-pH liquid.
“Once the carbon dioxide is trapped in these solvents (溶剂), you have to regenerate it,” says Haotian Wang, assistant professor at Rice University. “There are literally no chemicals produced or consumed with our process. We also don’t need to heat up or pressurize our device, we just need to put it into a power outlet and it will work.”
Another drawback of current carbon-capture technologies is their reliance on large-scale, centralized infrastructure. By contrast, the system developed in the Wang lab is an extensible, modular, point-of-use concept that can adapt to a variety of scenarios. “The technology can be scaled up to industrial settings-power plants, chemical plants-but the great thing about it is that it allows for small-scale use as well: I can even use it in my office.” Wang says.
Also the reactor can continuously remove carbon dioxide from a simulated (模拟的) flue gas with efficiency above 98% using a relatively low electricity input. Wang notes that the process has “no carbon footprint or a very limited footprint” if powered by electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind. “This is great news considering that renewablel electricity is becoming more and more cost-effective,” Wang says.
8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. Add up some opposite reasons. B. Offer basic evidences to the topic.
C. Summarize the following paragraphs. D. Provide some background information.
9. What do we know about Wang’s system according to the text
A. It involves a two-step process. B. It creates some chemicals.
C. It is simple and easy to operate. D. It needs to be used in big plants.
10. How does the author support the topic
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing many numbers.
C. By providing research results. D. By analyzing causes and effects.
11 What is the author’s attitude towards Wang’s technology
A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种能够通过电解水和氧气的电化学反应直接从烟道气等气体源中去除二氧化碳的系统。这项技术的成果可以将直接空气捕获转变为减缓气候变化的有希望的前沿技术。该系统可以适用于各种场景，并且通过使用可再生能源供电，可以几乎没有碳足迹。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Most carbon-capture systems involve a two-step process: First, high-pH liquids are used to separate the carbon dioxide, which is acidic, from mixed-gas streams such as flue gas. Next, the carbon dioxide is regenerated from the solution through heating or by injecting a low-pH liquid. (大多数碳捕获系统包括两个步骤：首先，使用高ph值液体从混合气流(如烟道气)中分离酸性二氧化碳。接下来，二氧化碳通过加热或注入低ph值液体从溶液中再生。)”可知，在第2段中，作者解释了目前的碳捕获过程，包括两个步骤和这个过程的缺点由此凸显出本文中最新的碳捕系统的优点，由此第二段目的在于为主题提供基本证据。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“There are literally no chemicals produced or consumed with our process. We also don’t need to heat up or pressurize our device, we just need to put it into a power outlet and it will work. (我们的生产过程中不产生或消耗任何化学物质。我们也不需要加热或加压我们的设备，我们只需要把它放在电源插座上，它就会工作。)”可知，使用该方法不需要不产生或消耗任何化学物质，也不需要加热或者加压，只需要插上电源即可工作，因此操作简单，操作方便。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Another drawback of current carbon-capture technologies is their reliance on large-scale, centralized infrastructure. By contrast, the system developed in the Wang lab is an extensible, modular, point-of-use concept that can adapt to a variety of scenarios. (当前碳捕获技术的另一个缺点是它们依赖于大规模的集中式基础设施。相比之下，Wang实验室开发的系统是一个可扩展的、模块化的、使用点的概念，可以适应各种场景。)”可知，作者是通过作比较的方式，指出了Wang实验室开发的系统即通过作比较支撑文章的主题。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Wang notes that the process has “no carbon footprint or a very limited footprint” if powered by electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind. “This is great news considering that renewable electricity is becoming more and more cost-effective,” Wang says. (Wang指出如果使用太阳能或风能等可再生能源供电，该过程“没有碳足迹或碳足迹非常有限”。王说：“考虑到可再生电力正变得越来越划算，这是一个好消息。”)”可知，如果考虑可再生电力等再生能源进行供电实施该技术，整个过程中“没有碳足迹或碳足迹非常有限”，这对环境来说是极其友好的，由此推断，作者对该技术的态度是赞同的。故选B。
D
Around 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific hotline was built in the event of such an emergency.
And while it’s unlikely your wristwatch’s power source will ever be safe to eat, that doesn’t mean all batteries will remain uneatable-in fact, some are being designed with digestion specifically in mind.
A team of researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology recently revealed what isl being called as the world’s first fully rechargeable, eatable battery. As detailed in a paper published with Advanced Materials, the new device has made good use of some eatable materials.
“Eatable electronic devices will have major implications for gastrointestinal tract (胃肠道) monitoring, treatment, as well as rapid food quality monitoring,” reads the paper’s abstract, adding that although recent research proved the feasibility of eatable sensors and circuits, “fully eatable electronic devices and eatable power sources are still required, of which there have been very few examples.”
According to the team’s findings, their proof-of-concept battery was capable of producing 0.65 volts, which is safely low enough for the human body to handle. The ingestible could provide 48 μA of current for 12 minutes, or alternatively, a few microamps (微安) for over an hour. Such a power supply could provide enough energy for small electronics alike to eatable pill-shaped modules and other gastrointestinal procedure alternatives.
In a statement, researcher coordinator Mario Caironi explained that such a product could help power monitors for both human health conditions and food storage. Additionally, given their safety, products with stronger power could be used within children’s toys, where ingestion risk is higher.
In the team’s statement, co-author Ivan Ilic also explained that despite the battery’s relatively low power, its digestibility provides a promising example of a battery that doesn’t use any harmful materials.
12. What is the necessity of developing eatable batteries
A. They help with the food shortage. B. They can avoid the harm caused by eating batteries.
C. They are useful in some special fields. D. They have no impact on the environment.
13. Which is the closest in meaning to “feasibility” in Paragraph 4
A. Availability. B. Flexibility. C. Responsibility. D. Possibility.
14. What can we infer from the statements in the last paragraph
A. The application of the battery has a long way to go.
B. The eatable batteries will be widely used in our life.
C. The development of the eatable battery is promising.
D. The eatable batteries will soon be put into production.
15. In which section of a magazine can we read the text
A. News Corner. B. Story Garden. C. Language World. D. Technology Square.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利研究人员开发的世界上第一个可食用的可充电电池。这个电池由可食用材料制成，可以在人体消化系统中使用，为小型电子设备提供能量。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Around 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific hotline was built in the event of such an emergency.(每年大约有3500名美国人摄入电池。这显然是一个反复出现的问题，甚至在发生这种紧急情况时还专门设立了热线。)”可知，开发可食用电池的必要性是因为人们可以避免吃电池造成的伤害。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“although recent research proved…(尽管最近的研究证明了……)”以及后文“fully eatable electronic devices and eatable power sources are still required, of which there have been very few examples(完全可食用的电子设备和可食用电源仍然是必需的，这方面的例子很少。)”可知，尽管最近的研究证明了可食用传感器和电路的可能性，但是对其必要性值得商榷。故划线词与D选项“Possibility.(可能性)”为同义词。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In the team’s statement, co-author Ivan Ilic also explained that despite the battery’s relatively low power, its digestibility provides a promising example of a battery that doesn’t use any harmful materials.(在研究小组的声明中，共同作者Ivan Ilic还解释说，尽管电池的功率相对较低，但其可消化性为不使用任何有害材料的电池提供了一个有希望的例子。)”可知，可食用电池为不使用任何有害材料的电池提供了一个有希望的例子，即：可食用电池的发展前景广阔。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，文章介绍了意大利研究人员开发的世界上第一个可食用的可充电电池。这个电池由可食用材料制成，可以在人体消化系统中使用，为小型电子设备提供能量。该电池具有较低的电压，不会对人体造成伤害，可以用于监测人体健康状况和食物储存等方面。这种可食用电池的研发有望为胃肠道监测、治疗以及食品质量监测等领域带来重大影响。由此文章出自于杂志的“科技广场”部分。故选D。

【41题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：去年，她通过了大专生升学考试，被湖北民族大学录取为本科生。根据 Last year可知，本句的时态为一般过去时，又因为 admit和主语she之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was admitted。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：由于她是班里唯一一个通过考试的学生，老师和同学都劝她不要休学，但她下定决心，因为她“想回馈社会”。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，先行词the one指人，且从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词who来引导。故填who。

【46题详解】
考查冠词。句意：她的母亲因为生病而无法照顾自己，她的祖母后来死于阿尔茨海默氏症。因为此处的名词illness发音是以元音音素开头，且是第一次提到，所以用不定冠词an表示泛指。故填an。
【47题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：为了帮助蒋的家人，当地政府帮助他们重建了房子。分析句式结构可知，此处用动词不定式作目的状语表示“为了”故填To help。

My dance school has a float in our town’s parade (游行) every year. I was so exciting when I got been selected to be part of the special dance. The rehearsals (排练) did conflict to a few of my soccer games. However, their teacher said it’d be okay as soon as I practised the steps at home. Well, I should have practised hardly! We were right in middle of the routine, and I turned right while the rest of the class went left. My mess-up caused a whole row of dancer to knock over. I heard the whole town went silent as they watched!
【答案】1.excited→ exciting 2. been删除 3. to→ with 4. their→ our 5. soon→ long
6.hardly→ hard 7. middle 前加the 8. and→but 9.dancer→dancers 10. as→ when
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要描述了作者参加学校的舞蹈游行并出现巨大失误的经历。
【详解】1. 考查形容词。句意：当我被选中参加这个特别的舞蹈时，我很兴奋。句中主语I为人，应该使用excited作表语，-ed结尾形容词修饰人。故将exciting改为excited。
2.考查动词时态。句意：同上。句中get selected表示被动，意为“被选择”，been为多余。故将been删除。
3.考查固定短语。句意：排练和我的几场足球比赛发生了冲突。句中conflict with为固定短语，意为“与……冲突”。故将to改为with。
4.考查代词。句意：然而，我们的老师说只要我在家练习这些步骤就可以了。句中陈述对象为作者，此处表示“我们的老师”应该使用形容词性物主代词our。故将their改为our。
5.考查固定短语。句意：同上。句中表示“只要”应该用as long as。故将soon改为long。
6.考查副词。句意：唉，我应该刻苦练习才对！表示“努力地”应该使用副词hard。故将hardly改为hard。
7.考查冠词。句意：我们的动作正进行到一半，我向右拐，而其他同学都向左拐。句中in the middle of为固定短语，意为“在中间”。故在middle前加the。
8.考查连词。句意：我们的动作正进行到一半，但我向右转，而其他同学却向左走。句中前后构成转折关系。故将and改为but。
9.考查名词。句意：我搞砸了，一整排舞者都摔倒了。句中dancer为可数名词，此处表示复数意义。故将dancer改为dancers。
10.考查时间状语从句。句意：我听说当他们看到这一幕时，整个城镇都变得寂静无声！分析句子，此处引导的是时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”用when。故将as改为when。

Back in the day when I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, I liked to help others, so I was studying to become a firefighter. My parents always encouraged me at that time. As a firefighter, you’re constantly thinking of other people and trying to help them. It’s the mindset. which is the most difficult part in this job!
One night I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (玉米饼) place. I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea.
I decided to see if he wanted to eat a real dinner, so I asked him to follow me back into the Burrito Joint to order. When he followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in. After some arguing, so I had to encourage him to order whatever and however much he wanted. He ended up ordering enough to fill his stomach at least 3 times over!
For someone who has been on the edges of society it seemed like he was very surprised at my kind behaviour. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. I know we see these people every day asking for money but you had to be there to see the look in his face. To me, it reminded me when I was young and my mum brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, getting to experience a big meal. And I think he felt special, like he was getting attention. Again something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
I often think about this story, because to me it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them, but giving him the respect of being a human being and allowing him to feel good about himself was very rewarding.

As reported in the journal Nature, one system can directly remove carbon dioxide from sources ranging from flue gas (烟道气) to the atmosphere by using electricity to induce a water-and-oxygen-based electrochemical reaction. This technological achievement could turn direct air capture (捕获) from edge industry into a promising front for climate change relief.
Most carbon-capture systems involve a two-step process: First, high-pH liquids are used to separate the carbon dioxide, which is acidic, from mixed-gas streams such as flue gas. Next, the carbon dioxide is regenerated from the solution through heating or by injecting a low-pH liquid.
“Once the carbon dioxide is trapped in these solvents (溶剂), you have to regenerate it,” says Haotian Wang, assistant professor at Rice University. “There are literally no chemicals produced or consumed with our process. We also don’t need to heat up or pressurize our device, we just need to put it into a power outlet and it will work.”
Another drawback of current carbon-capture technologies is their reliance on large-scale, centralized infrastructure. By contrast, the system developed in the Wang lab is an extensible, modular, point-of-use concept that can adapt to a variety of scenarios. “The technology can be scaled up to industrial settings-power plants, chemical plants-but the great thing about it is that it allows for small-scale use as well: I can even use it in my office.” Wang says.
Also the reactor can continuously remove carbon dioxide from a simulated (模拟的) flue gas with efficiency above 98% using a relatively low electricity input. Wang notes that the process has “no carbon footprint or a very limited footprint” if powered by electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind. “This is great news considering that renewablel electricity is becoming more and more cost-effective,” Wang says.
8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. Add up some opposite reasons. B. Offer basic evidences to the topic.
C. Summarize the following paragraphs. D. Provide some background information.
9. What do we know about Wang’s system according to the text
A. It involves a two-step process. B. It creates some chemicals.
C. It is simple and easy to operate. D. It needs to be used in big plants.
10. How does the author support the topic
A. By making comparisons. B. By listing many numbers.
C. By providing research results. D. By analyzing causes and effects.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Wang’s technology
A. Unclear. B. Favourable. C. Objective. D. Disapproving.
D
Around 3,500 Americans ingest (摄入) batteries every year. It’s apparently such a repeating issue that even a specific hotline was built in the event of such an emergency.
And while it’s unlikely your wristwatch’s power source will ever be safe to eat, that doesn’t mean all batteries will remain uneatable-in fact, some are being designed with digestion specifically in mind.
A team of researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology recently revealed what isl being called as the world’s first fully rechargeable, eatable battery. As detailed in a paper published with Advanced Materials, the new device has made good use of some eatable materials.
“Eatable electronic devices will have major implications for gastrointestinal tract (胃肠道) monitoring, treatment, as well as rapid food quality monitoring,” reads the paper’s abstract, adding that although recent research proved the feasibility of eatable sensors and circuits, “fully eatable electronic devices and eatable power sources are still required, of which there have been very few examples.”
According to the team’s findings, their proof-of-concept battery was capable of producing 0.65 volts, which is safely low enough for the human body to handle. The ingestible could provide 48 μA of current for 12 minutes, or alternatively, a few microamps (微安) for over an hour. Such a power supply could provide enough energy for small electronics alike to eatable pill-shaped modules and other gastrointestinal procedure alternatives.
In a statement, researcher coordinator Mario Caironi explained that such a product could help power monitors for both human health conditions and food storage. Additionally, given their safety, products with stronger power could be used within children’s toys, where ingestion risk is higher.
In the team’s statement, co-author Ivan Ilic also explained that despite the battery’s relatively low power, its digestibility provides a promising example of a battery that doesn’t use any harmful materials.
