Venus, the brighter, will shine a brilliant red, with Saturn next to it appearing more golden. Though you will be able to see both with the naked eye, binoculars will enhance the view.Lunar eclipse (月食) and blood moonDuring a lunar eclipse, one in 2022 seen in Portugal, light casts a burning glow on the moon’s surface in the early morning hours of March 14, lasting from 2:26 a.m. to 3:31 a.m. Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting.Partial solar eclipseThe sky shifting from deep blue at the top, to burning reds on the horizon, the solar eclipse coming March 29, 2025, will have the sun appear as a new moon. Visible across large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, the event begins at 4:50 a.m. At 6:47 a.m., the largest part of the sun will be shaded by the moon.Moon and Mercury meet upMercury is tricky to spot because of its closeness to the sun. On June 26, the planet will be easier to glimpse as it appears next to our moon around 20 — 30 minutes before the twilight fades. Mercury will shine as a faint red of light to the naked eye.1. Which event takes the longest time A Saturn and Venus joint. B. Lunar eclipse and blood moon.C. Partial solar eclipse. D. Moon and Mercury meet up.2. Which country best suits blood moon observation A. China. B. Canada. C. Russia. D. Portugal.3. What do the four events have in common A. They can be viewed with naked eyes. B. They fall in the same month.C. They all emerge for the first time. D. They have red lights involved.【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2025年即将发生的四个必看夜空事件，详细描述了每个事件的时间、地点、可见区域以及观测建议，旨在向天文爱好者提供有关即将发生的天文现象的信息。【1题详解】推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，关于选项A“Saturn and Venus joint”，文章提及“On January 18, two neighboring worlds of Venus and Saturn will appear less than half a degree apart in the sky, about 30 — 45 minutes after sunset.(1月18日，金星和土星这两个相邻的星球将在日落后约30至45分钟出现在天空中，彼此相距不到半度。)”，并未提及持续时间；关于选项B“Lunar eclipse and blood moon”，文章提及“During a lunar eclipse, one in 2022 seen in Portugal, light casts a burning glow on the moon’s surface in the early morning hours of March 14, lasting from 2:26 a.m. to 3:31 a.m.(在月食期间（比如2022年在葡萄牙观测到的那次月食），3月14日凌晨时分，光线会在月球表面投射出炽热的光辉，月食从凌晨2点26分持续到3点31分。)”可知，持续时间为一小时5分钟；关于选项C“Partial solar eclipse”，文章提及“Visible across large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, the event begins at 4:50 a.m. At 6:47 a.m., the largest part of the sun will be shaded by the moon.(北美、欧洲和亚洲的大部分地区都可以观测到这一现象，日偏食于凌晨4点50分开始。到凌晨6点47分，太阳的大部分将被月球遮挡。)”可知，日偏食从凌晨4点50分开始，到6点47分太阳大部分被月球遮挡，且这只是其中一个阶段，整个日偏食持续时间肯定大于小时57分钟；关于选项D“Moon and Mercury meet up”，文章提及“On June 26, the planet will be easier to glimpse as it appears next to our moon around 20 — 30 minutes before the twilight fades.(6月26日，这颗行星会更容易被看到，因为在暮色消退前约20至30分钟，它会出现在月球旁边。)”可知，暮色消退前约20至30分钟能看到水星出现在月球旁边，其持续时间较短。因此，持续时间最长的是Partial solar eclipse。故选C。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据文章“Lunar eclipse and blood moon”部分中的“Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting.(如果天气允许，美洲各地的天文爱好者都可以一睹“血月”的壮丽景象。)”可知，在天气允许的情况下，美洲各地的天文爱好者都可以很好地观赏到“血月”，而所给选项中，只有加拿大属于美洲国家，因此加拿大是最适合观测血月的国家。故选B。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据文章“Saturn and Venus joint”部分中的“Though you will be able to see both with the naked eye, binoculars will enhance the view.(虽然你可以用肉眼看到这两颗星，但使用双筒望远镜会让观测效果更佳。)”；“Lunar eclipse and blood moon”部分中的“Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting.(如果天气允许，美洲各地的天文爱好者都可以一睹“血月”的壮丽景象。)”、“Partial solar eclipse”为日食，肉眼在一定阶段也可观测到太阳的变化，且文中未强调必须借助工具；“Moon and Mercury meet up”部分中的“Mercury will shine as a faint red of light to the naked eye (肉眼看去，水星会闪耀着微弱的红色光芒。)”可知，这四个事件的共同之处是都可以用肉眼观测。故选A。BMany of us have heard of Alex Honnold, who made history in 2018 when he became the first man to climb EI Capitan without ropes or safety equipment. But his mother, Dierdre Wolownick, just became the oldest woman to conquer the famous peak: she reached the top on September 23 — the morning of her 70th birthday.Dierdre, the writer and language teacher, decided to take up climbing as a means to connect more with her son. In 2008, accompanied by her son Alex, she visited a climbing gym and completed 12 routes that first day with his help, but it was months before she worked up the courage to return and practice on her own.Dierdre became committed to the sport, and began to meet friends and sharpen her skills. She scaled (登上) parts of Half Dome and Cathedral peak at a time when many people at her age are thinking about retirement and slowing down. The writer would go on to publish a book about her climbing experiences with Alex called The Sharp End of Life: A Mother’s Story.“As a mother, I am impressed by this role exchange process. Parents and children often wind up changing roles in life as they get older,” she writes in her book. “But never, I thought, is that transformation as obvious as when they climb together.”On September 23, Dierdre and her friends set out in the dark, at 6 am. The route is steep (陡峭的) enough to require all-fours, grabbing rocks and trees and whatever else will hold the weight. Yet despite all difficulties the team made it to the top.“It was really inspiring to watch her and then to have her on top with all of us,” said one of Dierdre’s friends.“There was a special look on everyone’s face. We knew where we were. We knew how amazing the moment truly was.4. Why did Dierdre start climbing mountains A. To know her son better.B. To celebrate her birthday.C. To seek writing inspiration.D. To set an example for the old.5. Which of the following best describes Dierdre A. Patient. B. Courageous. C. Intelligent. D. Generous.6. What does the last paragraph tell about Dierdre’s climbing journey A. It was worth the efforts.B. It took days to complete.C. It was arranged on her own.D. It required special equipment.7. What may be a suitable title for the text A. Mountain climbing benefits healthB. Mother goes beyond her son’s wishC. Climb together, bond closerD. Slow down, better your life【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了世界级攀岩者Alex Honnold 的母亲迪尔德丽.沃罗尼克，为了更好地了解他，致力于攀岩运动,提高自己的技能, 并于自己70岁生日时攀上了埃尔卡皮坦山的故事。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句 “Dierdre, the writer and language teacher, decided to take up climbing as a means to connect more with her son. (迪尔德丽作为作家和语言老师，她决定将攀岩作为一种与儿子建立更多联系的方式)”可知，迪尔德丽开始爬山是因为想更多的了解自己的儿子。故选A 项。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“she reached the top on September 23 — the morning of her 70th birthday (她在9月23日——她70岁生日的早晨登上了顶峰)”可知，迪尔德丽70岁了，还能开始学习攀岩，并登上了高峰。由此推断出她是一个有勇气的人。故选B项。【6题详解】推理判断题。由文章最后一段迪尔德丽的朋友的话“It was really inspiring to watch her and then to have her on top with all of us,” said one of Dierdre’s friends.“There was a special look on everyone’s face. We knew where we were. We knew how amazing the moment truly was.” （迪尔德丽的一个朋友说:“看着她，然后和我们所有人一起站在顶端，这真的很鼓舞人心。” 每个人的脸上都有一种特殊的表情。 我们知道我们在哪里。 我们知道这一刻是多么令人惊叹。” ）可知，尽管他们遇到了很多的困难，但当看到她以及大家脸上高兴的表情，他们知道了他们现在在干什么，此刻是多么的令人惊奇，推断出他们的努力没有白费。故选A项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了70岁的Dierdre为了更了解儿子Alex Honnold，毅然选择参与到儿子爱好的登山活动中，并取得了不小的成就，故C项“一起攀登，关系更近”最适合作为本文标题。故选C项。COne aspect of the clean-energy change will happen inside buildings. Many homes and businesses burn natural gas for heating and cooking. Natural gas gives out greenhouse gases as well as other pollutants that can harm health. Gas appliances (家用电器) can be replaced by electric versions and tap into clean electricity.Panama Bartholomy is the director of the Building Decarbonization Coalition. His group, based in Petaluma, Calif., focuses on limiting gas emissions indoors. “We assume the electric grid (输电网) is getting cleaner over time, which it is. So, we want more and more of our heating to come from electricity.”It’s much easier to make these types of transitions when governments recommend them says Beth Miller. She is an ecologist and consultant with Good Company. Based in Eugene, Ore., it helps companies and communities reduce their carbon footprint. Some states are already taking steps to make these changes. On September 22, for instance, California decided it would ban the sale of gas-fired space heaters and water heaters by 2030.After homes and businesses make the switch to electric alternatives, they will be more comfortable, says Bartholomy. They will be safer and cleaner, too, he adds. Instead of a gas furnace(燃气炉), an electric heat pump could both heat and cool a home. Gas heaters and stoves won’t be pumping pollution into a home’s air. And cooks will have even more control on a modern electric cooker than on a gas stove says Bartholomy.Getting natural gas out of your home is probably the largest positive impact you can have for the planet, Bartholomy says. “We all need to fight for a livable climate. There is no way to meet our climate goals while still burning gas in buildings. For a livable future, we must take measures to stop burning natural gas, though we know we have a long way to go.” And the bonus: It now looks like doing that should also save people a lot of money.8. What is the clean energy change A. Using natural gas for heating. B. Using natural gas to boil water.C. Using electric cookers at home. D. Using electric lights inside buildings.9. What does the underlined word “transitions” in Paragraph 3 mean A. Promises. B. Plans. C. Changes. D. Decisions.10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 A. Homes will be safer. B. Gas stoves will be replaced soon.C. Homes’ air will have more pollutants. D. Cooks prefer to use traditional cookers.11. What is the best title of the text A. Clean-energy Change B. Electricity UseC. Make Use of Natural Gas D. Save Your Money at Home【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述将会在建筑内部发生清洁能源的改变，燃气设备将被电动设备取代以及利用清洁能源的好处。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“One aspect of the clean-energy change will happen inside buildings. Many homes and businesses burn natural gas for heating and cooking. Natural gas gives out greenhouse gases as well as other pollutants that can harm health. Gas appliances (家用电器) can be replaced by electric versions and tap into clean electricity. (清洁能源变化的一个方面将发生在建筑内部。许多家庭和企业烧天然气取暖和做饭。天然气释放出温室气体以及其他有害健康的污染物。燃气家用电器可以被电动家用电器取代，并利用清洁电力)”可知，使用电动家用电器就是在使用清洁能源。故选C。【9题详解】词义猜测题。根据第二段“We assume the electric grid (输电网) is getting cleaner over time, which it is. So, we want more and more of our heating to come from electricity. (我们假设电网会随着时间的推移变得越来越清洁，事实也确实如此。所以，我们希望越来越多的供暖来自电力)”可推测，划线句子意思是：贝丝·米勒(Beth Miller)说，在政府的推荐下，进行这类转变要容易得多。由此可知transitions意为“转变”，和C选项同义，故选C。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“After homes and businesses make the switch to electric alternatives, they will be more comfortable, says Bartholomy. They will be safer and cleaner, too, he adds. (Bartholomy说，在家庭和企业改用电力替代品之后，它们会更舒适。他补充说，它们也会更安全、更清洁)”可推知，家将会更安全。故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“One aspect of the clean-energy change will happen inside buildings. Many homes and businesses burn natural gas for heating and cooking. Natural gas gives out greenhouse gases as well as other pollutants that can harm health. Gas appliances (家用电器) can be replaced by electric versions and tap into clean electricity. (清洁能源变化的一个方面将发生在建筑内部。许多家庭和企业烧天然气取暖和做饭。天然气释放出温室气体以及其他有害健康的污染物。燃气家用电器可以被电动家用电器取代，并利用清洁电力)”可知，文章主要讲述将会在建筑内部发生清洁能源的改变，燃气设备将被电动设备取代以及利用清洁能源的好处。由此可知，A选项“清洁能源变革”符合文章主旨。故选A。DIn Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion.In this first phase of the project at Alqueva, engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. These are connected to an energy-storage system combining batteries and are integrated with the hydroelectric dam’s power station.Floating solar projects do face plenty of challenges. The kit has to be water-, wave-, wind- and storm-resistant, which adds complexity and cost. The fish in lakes attract plenty of birds, whose droppings can block the sun. To deal with this, engineers for the project at Alqueva have developed remote-controlled cleaning robots and are working on autonomous ones.Yet floating solar projects also enjoy several advantages. When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. The cooling effect of being on water boosts the efficiency of the modules, with studies suggesting gains of between 5% and 15%over land-based PV, while the shade they produce slows the water loss of the lake.EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. “This may pale in comparison to the 1,600,000MW of solar capacity installed as of last year. But every bit counts,” he added.12. Which of the following best describes the EDP project A. It went unquestioned.B. It can be costly but eco-friendly.C. It has already expanded.D. It is separated from the power station.13. What can be learned about floating solar projects A. Engineers have developed auto cleaning robots.B. Floating solar projects demand less time for grid access.C. Land-based PV modules are more productive than floating ones.D. The PV modules decrease the water level of the lake.14. What might EDP agree with according to the last paragraph A. The project at Alqueva is an instant success.B. By 2025 the project at Alqueva will provide 70MW capacity.C. The project will generate the majority of global renewable power.D. The floating solar technology has a promising future.15. What is a suitable title for the text A. Floating Solar Ready to ShineB. Solar Power or Hydro PowerC. The Dawn of Renewable EnergyD. A Glimpse into Global Floating Solar Farms【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了葡萄牙阿尔克瓦镇附近的欧洲最大人工湖中的一个创新型浮动太阳能发电厂项目，该项目由领先的可再生能源公司EDP开发。文章阐述了该项目面临的挑战、具备的优势以及公司对其未来的规划和前景展望。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. ( 尽管最初对浮动太阳能技术的高成本和潜在问题持怀疑态度，但该项目代表了该行业的成熟和扩张准备。)”以及第二段中“engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. (工程师们在浮动平台上安装了大约12,000个光伏模块，这些平台由部分回收塑料和当地采购的软木材制成。)”可知，该项目成本较高，但是使用了部分回收塑料和当地的软木，是环保的。故选B项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. (当它们位于现有的水电大坝上时，不需要任何额外的土地，并且可以连接到电网，而不需要像太阳能项目那样等待多年。)”可知，浮动太阳能项目不需要额外的土地，并且可以更快地接入电网，不需要像普通太阳能项目那样等待多年。故选B项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. (EDP将浮动太阳能视为其可再生能源战略的基石。Alqueva最初的5兆瓦容量可能看起来不大，但这只是一个开始。该公司正在计划第二阶段，到2025年将增加70兆瓦的产能。据领先的咨询公司伍德·麦肯齐称，到2031年，浮动太阳能技术将为全球提供高达6万兆瓦的可再生能源。)”可知，EDP 公司将浮动太阳能视为其可再生能源战略的基石，虽然目前规模较小，但有进一步的规划，并且咨询公司也认为到 2031 年浮动太阳能技术有很大的发展潜力，所以EDP公司会认为浮动太阳能技术有光明的未来。故选D项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“In Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. ( 在葡萄牙的阿尔基瓦镇附近，坐落着欧洲最大的人工湖，一个由领先的可再生能源公司EDP开发的创新型浮动太阳能发电厂就在这里。尽管最初对浮动太阳能技术的高成本和潜在问题持怀疑态度，但该项目代表了该行业的成熟和扩张准备。)”可知，文章主要介绍了 EDP公司开发的浮动太阳能发电厂项目，包括其面临的挑战、优势以及未来的发展规划，强调了浮动太阳能技术的发展前景。A选项“Floating Solar Ready to Shine”（浮动太阳能即将大放异彩），既提到了浮动太阳能，又体现了其未来的发展前景，符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选A项。第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Left-handed people make up around 12% of the global population.

A【解析】【导语】本文是说明文，文章主要介绍了关于左撇子的一些有趣的事情。【16题详解】根据空前“Left-handed people make up around 12% of the global population. One really interesting fact that I picked up was from a scientist who believed that left-handed people tended to be more independent as a result of having to adapt to a world that is largely built for right-handed individuals.(左撇子约占全球人口的12%。我从一位科学家那里发现了一个非常有趣的事实，他认为左撇子往往更独立，因为他们必须适应一个主要为右撇子建立的世界)”可知研究发现左撇子更独立，根据后文“More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders(更容易有过敏和睡眠障碍)”可知接下来文章主要讲的是左撇子的一些有趣的事情，全文是总——分的结构，由此推知，空处承上启下，所以应该讲的是和左撇子有关的一些有趣的事情，E项Here are a few more fascinating left-handed people facts(这里有一些关于左撇子的有趣事实)承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选E项。【17题详解】根据本段标题“More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders(更容易有过敏和睡眠障碍)”可知本段主要讲的是左撇子更容易有过敏和睡眠障碍，根据空前“A study found that left-handed people were 11 times more likely to suffer from allergies than right-handed folk.(一项研究发现，左撇子患过敏症的可能性是右撇子的11倍)”可知此处讲的是左撇子更容易患过敏症，所以可以推断接下来应该讲的是睡眠障碍问题，G项And lefties were two and a half times more likely to suffer from sleep disorders(左撇子患睡眠障碍的可能性是左撇子的2.5倍)指出了左撇子更容易患有睡眠障碍，符合上下文语境。故选G项。【18题详解】根据本段小标题“Left-handed people use the right side of the brain the most(左撇子使用右脑最多)”可知本段主要讲的是左撇子更容易使用右脑，根据空后“meaning that the right side controls the left side of the body and the other way around.(也就是说，大脑的右侧控制着身体的左侧，反之亦然)”可知此处是在对左右脑的交叉控制这一事实进行解释，所以空处应该指出大脑是交叉控制的这一事实，C项As we know, the brain is cross-wired(正如我们所知，大脑是交叉的)符合上下文语境。故选C项。【19题详解】根据本段小标题“Are left-handed people smarter (左撇子更聪明吗？)”可知本段主要围绕着左撇子的是不是更聪明来展开，根据空后“One 2007 study “Effect of handedness on intelligence level of students” shows that lefties are more likely to have higher IQ. However, another 2010 study “The relationship between hand preference,hand performance, and general cognitive ability” suggests the exact opposite!( 2007年一项名为“用手习惯对学生智力水平的影响”的研究表明，左撇子更有可能拥有更高的智商。然而，另一项2010年的研究“用手偏好、用手表现和一般认知能力之间的关系”得出了完全相反的结论！)”可知关于左撇子的智商问题不同日期的研究结果是不一样的。空处位于段首，应是对全段的概括，所以空处应该讲关于左撇子是不是更聪明这个问题的答案与消息来源的日期有关，D项This one varies depending on how dated your source is(这取决于你的资料来源的年代)明确指出关于左撇子是不是更聪明这个问题的答案与消息来源的日期有关，既回答了小标题的提问，同时也概括了全段，而且D项中的This one指代小标题的问题，符合上下文语境。故选D项。【20题详解】根据空后“Experiments showed that when given two tasks to complete simultaneously (同时), lefties performed best. This is because right-handed people tend to solve problems by breaking them down into parts and analyzing each piece one at a time.

But his mother, Dierdre Wolownick, just became the oldest woman to conquer the famous peak: she reached the top on September 23 — the morning of her 70th birthday.Dierdre, the writer and language teacher, decided to take up climbing as a means to connect more with her son. In 2008, accompanied by her son Alex, she visited a climbing gym and completed 12 routes that first day with his help, but it was months before she worked up the courage to return and practice on her own.Dierdre became committed to the sport, and began to meet friends and sharpen her skills. She scaled (登上) parts of Half Dome and Cathedral peak at a time when many people at her age are thinking about retirement and slowing down. The writer would go on to publish a book about her climbing experiences with Alex called The Sharp End of Life: A Mother’s Story.“As a mother, I am impressed by this role exchange process. Parents and children often wind up changing roles in life as they get older,” she writes in her book. “But never, I thought, is that transformation as obvious as when they climb together.”On September 23, Dierdre and her friends set out in the dark, at 6 am. The route is steep (陡峭的) enough to require all-fours, grabbing rocks and trees and whatever else will hold the weight. Yet despite all difficulties the team made it to the top.“It was really inspiring to watch her and then to have her on top with all of us,” said one of Dierdre’s friends.“There was a special look on everyone’s face. We knew where we were. We knew how amazing the moment truly was.4. Why did Dierdre start climbing mountains A. To know her son better.B. To celebrate her birthday.C. To seek writing inspiration.D. To set an example for the old.5. Which of the following best describes Dierdre A. Patient. B. Courageous. C. Intelligent. D. Generous.6. What does the last paragraph tell about Dierdre’s climbing journey A. It was worth the efforts.B. It took days to complete.C. It was arranged on her own.D. It required special equipment.7. What may be a suitable title for the text A. Mountain climbing benefits healthB. Mother goes beyond her son’s wishC. Climb together, bond closerD. Slow down, better your lifeCOne aspect of the clean-energy change will happen inside buildings. Many homes and businesses burn natural gas for heating and cooking. Natural gas gives out greenhouse gases as well as other pollutants that can harm health. Gas appliances (家用电器) can be replaced by electric versions and tap into clean electricity.Panama Bartholomy is the director of the Building Decarbonization Coalition. His group, based in Petaluma, Calif., focuses on limiting gas emissions indoors. “We assume the electric grid (输电网) is getting cleaner over time, which it is. So, we want more and more of our heating to come from electricity.”It’s much easier to make these types of transitions when governments recommend them, says Beth Miller. She is an ecologist and consultant with Good Company. Based in Eugene, Ore., it helps companies and communities reduce their carbon footprint. Some states are already taking steps to make these changes. On September 22, for instance, California decided it would ban the sale of gas-fired space heaters and water heaters by 2030.After homes and businesses make the switch to electric alternatives, they will be more comfortable, says Bartholomy. They will be safer and cleaner, too, he adds. Instead of a gas furnace(燃气炉), an electric heat pump could both heat and cool a home. Gas heaters and stoves won’t be pumping pollution into a home’s air. And cooks will have even more control on a modern electric cooker than on a gas stove says Bartholomy.Getting natural gas out of your home is probably the largest positive impact you can have for the planet, Bartholomy says. “We all need to fight for a livable climate. There is no way to meet our climate goals while still burning gas in buildings. For a livable future, we must take measures to stop burning natural gas, though we know we have a long way to go.” And the bonus: It now looks like doing that should also save people a lot of money.8.

Make Use of Natural Gas D. Save Your Money at HomeDIn Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion.In this first phase of the project at Alqueva, engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. These are connected to an energy-storage system combining batteries and are integrated with the hydroelectric dam’s power station.Floating solar projects do face plenty of challenges. The kit has to be water-, wave-, wind- and storm-resistant, which adds complexity and cost. The fish in lakes attract plenty of birds, whose droppings can block the sun. To deal with this, engineers for the project at Alqueva have developed remote-controlled cleaning robots and are working on autonomous ones.Yet floating solar projects also enjoy several advantages. When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. The cooling effect of being on water boosts the efficiency of the modules, with studies suggesting gains of between 5% and 15%over land-based PV, while the shade they produce slows the water loss of the lake.EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. “This may pale in comparison to the 1,600,000MW of solar capacity installed as of last year. But every bit counts,” he added.12. Which of the following best describes the EDP project A. It went unquestioned.B. It can be costly but eco-friendly.C. It has already expanded.D. It is separated from the power station.13 What can be learned about floating solar projects A. Engineers have developed auto cleaning robots.B. Floating solar projects demand less time for grid access.C Land-based PV modules are more productive than floating ones.D. The PV modules decrease the water level of the lake.14. What might EDP agree with according to the last paragraph A. The project at Alqueva is an instant success.B. By 2025 the project at Alqueva will provide 70MW capacity.C. The project will generate the majority of global renewable power.D. The floating solar technology has a promising future.15. What is a suitable title for the text A. Floating Solar Ready to ShineB. Solar Power or Hydro PowerC. The Dawn of Renewable EnergyD.

Hence there is a well-known saying “only left-handed people are in their right minds”. The right-hand side of the brain is thought to control the left side of the body and tasks to do with the arts and creativity.Are left-handed people smarter ___19___! One 2007 study “Effect of handedness on intelligence level of students”shows that lefties are more likely to have higher IQ. However,another 2010 study “The relationship between hand preference, hand performance, and general cognitive ability” suggests the exact opposite!___20___Experiments showed that when given two tasks to complete simultaneously (同时), lefties performed best. This is because right-handed people tend to solve problems by breaking them down into parts and analyzing each piece one at a time. While left-handed people tend to look at the problem as a whole and use pattern-matching to try and solve it.A. Better at multi-taskingB. Smarter than the right-handedC. As we know, the brain is cross-wiredD This one varies depending on how dated your source isE. Here are a few more fascinating left-handed people factsF.
