Plastic is one of the most important technological discoveries of the 20th century.However,German scientists are certain that this material may soon be replaced.The new development—liquid wood—can replace plastics in all branches of modern industries.
Plastic as a material enjoys the biggest demand in the modern world,but it does have a number of disadvantages.First,plastic is not recyclable.Second,it contains poisons that can cause cancer.Finally,plastic is made of oil,which is not endless.
The liquid wood technology is able to replace plastic and provide mankind with new materials for many years ahead.Arboform is a new material,which can be got from soft tissues(组织) of wood.Once mixed with several other ingredients(成分),it turns into solid and non-poisonous material.
The wood-working industry separates wood into three basic things including lignin(木质素),which is not used for the production of paper.Specialists of an institute mixed lignin with several natural materials and thus invented the material which could be melted and moulded (铸造).
When solid arboform looks like plastic and possesses the qualities of wood,it can be used for the production of any items.
Arboform is already used for the production of car parts.However,the new invention does not enjoy a wide use due to the high content of sulphur(硫) in it.German researchers believe that they will be able to reduce the amount of sulphur by 90 percent very soon to make arboform usable for home needs.
In addition,liquid wood can be recycled repeatedly.The analysis of arboform showed that the material had all of its qualities even if it was reprocessed ten times.

  Made of thin cotton and sewed together in only 20 minutes,an experimental pair of gloves isn’t particularly fashionable or useful for keeping anyone’s hands warm.Instead,they are used for an entirely different purpose: teaching piano.
In a study,a graduate student Luo of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her colleagues created these “smart gloves” using advanced technology,which includes physical sensations such as vibration (振动) or force to help with learning activities.Researchers used the gloves to record one pianist’s hand movements while playing a song.They then relayed those movements to a student through fingertip vibrations,helping the learner build muscle memory and perform the piece with greater precision.
“Hand-based movements like piano playing are normally really subjective and difficult to record and transfer,” Luo says.“But with these gloves we are actually able to track a piano teacher’s touch experience and share it with another person to improve their tactile (触觉的) learning process.”
Using a computerised sewing machine,the team wove (织入) small wires linked to a pressure-sensing material in the gloves to detect hand motions.
When a piano teacher wearing the gloves repeatedly performed a tune,a machine-learning algorithm(算法) processed their movement on the keys and translated it into instructional vibrations.Students wearing their own gloves then attempted to play the same tune,with the fingertip vibrations guiding them through proper movements.By the trials’ end,students who had practised with the gloves could play more accurately than those who had not.
Playing piano is often just for fun,but Rice University mechanical engineer O’Malley adds that with an improved algorithm,the new glove technology could someday help to teach crucial practices such as surgeries.
“Instructional touch removes a step in the learning process that auditory and visual learning can’t.” she says.“When vibration is actually felt directly at the point of action,we can act and learn quicker and with that,there’s so much potential.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了麻省理工学院的研究生罗和她的同事们利用先进的技术创造了一款“智能手套”,虽不是很时尚,也不很保暖,但是它可以用来教钢琴。

  仔细观察上面的句子,看它们有什么特点,思考一下黑体部分在句中的作用。
表语从句的含义
  在主从复合句中充当表语的从句,叫作表语从句。它常位于系动词之后,对主语进行解释、说明,使主语的内容具体化,说明主语是什么或者怎么样。可连接表语从句的系动词有be、look、remain、seem、sound、appear等。表语从句要用陈述语气。
表语从句的连接词有从属连词、连接代词与连接副词。
一、表语从句的连接词
(一)从属连词that、whether、because、as if/though引导的表语从句
1.that引导的表语从句,that在从句中不作任何成分,没有任何意义,但不可省略。
What really made me sad was that he never answered my letter.
真正让我伤心的是他从不给我回信。
2.whether引导的表语从句,意为“是否”。但if不能引导表语从句。
The question is whether you can do the work well.
问题是你能否做好这项工作。
3.because引导的表语从句,说明主语所表示的事件发生的原因,意为“因为”。
It was because he was so terribly alone.
那是因为他太孤独了。
4.as if/though引导的表语从句,从句若表示有明显迹象的确要发生时或可能被设想为事实的时候,可用陈述语气;从句表示的情况发生的可能性比较小或与事实相反时,常用虚拟语气。
Look at the sky! It looks as if it is going to rain.
看看天空!看来天要下雨了。

二、表语从句中的虚拟语气
1.在表语从句中,表示间接的命令、要求、请求、建议、决定等时,主句中的主语通常是advice、suggestion、proposal、request、order、idea等,从句谓语动词形式是“should+动词原形”,should可以省略。
My advice is that you(should) practise speaking English as often as possible.
我的建议是你应该尽可能经常地练习说英语。
2.在as if/though引导的表语从句中,当说话者认为所述不是事实或发生的可能性不大时,从句用虚拟语气。若表示与现在事实相反的假设,从句谓语动词用一般过去时(be动词用were);若表示与过去事实相反的假设,从句谓语动词用过去完成时;若表示与将来事实相反的假设,从句谓语动词用“would/could/might+动词原形”。

Here are the introductions and achievements of four scientists.
J ns Jacob Berzelius
J ns Jacob Berzelius was a Swedish chemist,often referred to as one of the founders of modern chemistry.He developed a system of chemical symbols,which laid the foundation for the establishment of the modern periodic table (现代元素周期表).Berzelius also made important discoveries in the field of electrochemistry.
Niels Henrik David Bohr
Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist.He proposed the atomic model known as the Bohr model,which explained the behaviour of electrons moving in fixed energy levels or orbits around the atomic nucleus.His model helped explain the spectra (光谱) of elements and laid the groundwork for further developments in atomic physics.
Robert Boyle
Robert Boyle,born in Ireland,was regarded as one of the founders of modern chemistry,known for Boyle’s law.Boyle’s law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume (体积) of a gas at constant temperature.Boyle’s work laid the foundation for the modern understanding of gas behaviour and promoted the development of scientific experimental methods.
William Lawrence Bragg
William Lawrence Bragg was a physicist born in Australia who made significant contributions to X-ray crystallography (晶体学).Together with his father William Henry Bragg,he developed the famous Bragg’s law.This discovery revolutionised the field of crystallography and paved the way for determining the atomic and molecular (分子的) structures of various substances,including DNA and proteins.

Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions,whether to Mars or other planets much further away.Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space.Instead,we should feed the poor and find immediate solutions to other problems,such as pollution and fatal diseases.However,others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us.
Firstly,exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger.It has directly resulted in many satellites that now orbit Earth.A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns.Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth.After careful analysis,the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers.As a result,space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth’s increasing population.
Secondly,space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all.High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration.For example,space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material.They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use.Today,space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries,and everyday products,such as memory foam pillows and smartphone cameras,are changing our lives.
Finally,sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world’s problems and even to find ways to solve them.Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet’s resources are limited.In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population,scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home.The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth.In the future humans may live on both planets.
In closing,exploring space provides the world with many different benefits.Therefore,it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people’s short-term and long-term problems.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章主要阐述了探索太空带来的各种好处。

[A]Scores of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns.
[B]Most people argue that we’d stop wasting time and money exploring space.
[C]Space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries.
[D]Human beings may live on both planets someday.
【答案】 B
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,some和B项中的most矛盾,B项无法从文中得知。故选B。

[A]Most importantly.
[B]In addition.
[C]To conclude.
[D]What’s worse.
【答案】 C
【解析】 猜测短语题。根据第二、第三、第四段逐项列举探索太空的好处可知,最后一段是对上文进行总结,由此推测In closing意为“最后”。故选C。

  In the scientific history,few rivalries(竞争) have captured the imagination like the one between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison.These two inventors,each with their unique approaches and visions,engaged in a fierce competition that forever transformed the world of electricity and innovation.
The paths of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison first crossed in the late 1800s when Tesla arrived in the United States with his boundless enthusiasm and inventive spirit.Tesla,a young Serbian engineer,sought opportunities to work on his ambitious ideas.Edison,already an established inventor and entrepreneur,recognised Tesla’s talent and employed him at his company.
It was during Tesla’s time working for Edison that the seeds of rivalry were sown.Edison advocated direct current (DC) as the dominant method for electrical distribution,while Tesla saw the potential of alternating current (AC) systems,which offered greater efficiency over longer distances.
The turning point in their rivalry occurred with the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893.Tesla,backed by George Westinghouse,successfully showcased the superiority of AC by lighting the fairgrounds with his AC-powered system.This success crushed Edison’s claims of DC’s superiority,leading to the widespread adoption of AC as the standard for electrical power transmission (传输).
However,due to Edison’s influence,AC power was initially dismissed as dangerous and unreliable.In order to demonstrate its safety,Tesla held a public demonstration where he famously lit up a string of lights using his AC motor powered by Niagara Falls,proving once and for all that AC power was safe for use in homes and businesses around the world.
While both sides fought fiercely for control of electricity distribution networks across America,it was ultimately Tesla’s AC system that won out due to its greater efficiency over long distances compared with DC systems which quickly lost voltage (电压) as distance increased from their source point.Eventually even Edison himself came around and accepted defeat when he finally admitted that “Tesla has solved an extremely difficult problem”.
Despite their differences,the two men had an unwilling respect for each other.Edison was known to refer to Tesla as “one of the greatest electrical geniuses the world has ever seen” while Tesla praised Edison’s contributions to the field of electricity.Though their rivalry defined the development of electricity in the late 19th century,its impact still resonates (产生共鸣) today.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。通过讲述尼古拉·特斯拉(Nikola Tesla)和托马斯·爱迪生(Thomas Edison)之间的竞争故事,详细说明了这两位发明家在电力创新领域所产生的影响以及他们各自的技术观点。
(  )8.In which aspect did Tesla’s and Edison’s views on electrical systems differ
[A]The source of electrical power.
[B]The invention of electrical devices.
[C]The efficiency of power generation.
[D]The method of electrical transmission.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,正是在特斯拉为爱迪生工作的那段时间里,竞争的种子播下了。爱迪生主张将直流电(DC)作为主要的配电方式,而特斯拉则看到了交流电(AC)系统的潜力,交流电可以在更远的距离上提供更高的效率,由此可知,特斯拉和爱迪生在电力的传输方式方面有所不同。故选D。
(  )9.How did Tesla prove the reliability of AC power
[A]By conducting a public experiment at Niagara Falls.
[B]By displaying AC-powered lighting in a community.
[C]By getting support from George Westinghouse.
[D]By highlighting the limitations of DC power.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段内容可知,为了证明交流电的安全性,特斯拉举行了一次公开演示,他用尼亚加拉大瀑布供电的交流电机点亮了一串灯,从而彻底证明了交流电在世界各地的家庭和企业中使用是安全的,由此可知,特斯拉通过在尼亚加拉大瀑布进行公开实验来证明交流电的可靠性。故选A。
(  )10.Why did Tesla’s AC system finally achieve success
[A]It provided higher voltage outputs.
[B]It was easier to operate and maintain.
[C]It had superior long-range performance.
[D]It received more financial backing.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,虽然双方都在为控制美国各地的配电网络而激烈竞争,但最终特斯拉的交流电系统胜出,因为与直流电系统相比,它在长距离上的效率更高,而直流电系统随着距离源点的增加而迅速失去电压。最后,连爱迪生自己也接受了失败,他终于承认“特斯拉解决了一个极其困难的问题”。由此可知,是因交流电系统具有优越的远程性能,所以最终取得了成功。故选C。
(  )11.What message does the author want to convey in the text
[A]Every cloud has a silver lining.
[B]Real knowledge comes from practice.
[C]A rising tide lifts all boats.
[D]Rivalry fuels progress.

Nan Rendong was born in 1945.For his brilliant performance,he was admitted into Tsinghua University.From the year 1994 on,he was in charge of the building of the project FAST.After 22 years’ hard work,the telescope was finally set up and put into use in Guizhou.To our pity,he passed away because of cancer a year later.
Gifted and patriotic,Nan,with great scientific spirit and responsibility,was regarded as one of the most outstanding scientists in China.It is because of his perseverance that China owns the unique project,the Eye of Heaven.
Yours,
Li Hua

语法知识点拨
表语从句的含义
在主从复合句中充当表语的从句,叫作表语从句。它常位于系动词之后,对主语进行解释、说明,使主语的内容具体化,说明主语是什么或者怎么样。可连接表语从句的系动词有be、look、remain、seem、sound、appear等。表语从句要用陈述语气。
表语从句的连接词有从属连词、连接代词与连接副词。
一、表语从句的连接词
(一)从属连词that、whether、because、as if/though引导的表语从句
1.that引导的表语从句,that在从句中不作任何成分,没有任何意义,但不可省略。
What really made me sad was that he never answered my letter.
真正让我伤心的是他从不给我回信。
2.whether引导的表语从句,意为“是否”。但if不能引导表语从句。
The question is whether you can do the work well.
问题是你能否做好这项工作。
3.because引导的表语从句,说明主语所表示的事件发生的原因,意为“因为”。
It was because he was so terribly alone.
那是因为他太孤独了。
4.as if/though引导的表语从句,从句若表示有明显迹象的确要发生时或可能被设想为事实的时候,可用陈述语气;从句表示的情况发生的可能性比较小或与事实相反时,常用虚拟语气。
Look at the sky! It looks as if it is going to rain.
看看天空!看来天要下雨了。
The storm is so huge and it looks as if the world were coming to an end.
风暴如此之大,看起来就好像世界末日即将来临。

(二)连接代词who(ever)、whom(ever)、whose、what(ever)、which(ever)引导的表语从句
该类连接词在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或定语。

(三)连接副词when、where、why、how引导的表语从句
以上连接副词引导表语从句时,除在句中起连接作用外,在从句中往往作状语(时间、地点、原因、方式等)。
The last time we had great fun was when we were visiting the Water Park.
我们上一次参观水上公园的时候玩得很开心。
Sara was caught in a traffic jam this morning.That is why she was late for work.
萨拉今天早上遇到了交通堵塞,那就是她上班迟到的原因。
温馨提示
①表语从句采用陈述语序,即“连接词+主语+谓语”。
②why和because都可引导表语从句,前者强调结果,常构成“that’s why...”句式,意为“那是……的原因”;后者强调原因,常构成“that’s because...”句式,意为“那是因为……”。The reason why...is that...,此处why引导的是定语从句,that引导的是表语从句,意为“……的原因是……”。
温馨提示
I didn’t phone her,and that’s why she got angry with me.
我没有给她打电话,那就是她生我气的原因。(强调生气这一结果)
I didn’t phone her,and that’s because I got angry with her.
我没有给她打电话,那是因为我生她的气了。(强调没打电话的原因)
The reason why she is so popular among her classmates is that she is always ready to help others.
她在同学中很受欢迎的原因是她总是乐于助人。
温馨提示
③reason作主语或主语中包含事件的起因,后面的表语从句表示原因时,要用that来引导,而不是because。

where
二、表语从句中的虚拟语气
1.在表语从句中,表示间接的命令、要求、请求、建议、决定等时,主句中的主语通常是advice、suggestion、proposal、request、order、idea等,从句谓语动词形式是“should+动词原形”,should可以省略。
My advice is that you(should) practise speaking English as often as possible.
我的建议是你应该尽可能经常地练习说英语。
2.在as if/though引导的表语从句中,当说话者认为所述不是事实或发生的可能性不大时,从句用虚拟语气。若表示与现在事实相反的假设,从句谓语动词用一般过去时(be动词用were);若表示与过去事实相反的假设,从句谓语动词用过去完成时;若表示与将来事实相反的假设,从句谓语动词用“would/
could/might+动词原形”。
It seems as if it were spring.
现在好像是春天似的。
She appeared as if she had known nothing about it.
她看上去对此一无所知。

How Mobile Technology Has Changed
   Our Lives Forever
The invention of the mobile phone and mobile technology was incredible.1.   Here we highlight the most common ones that technology has been changing our lives today.
Mobile technology has changed how we communicate.
The advancement of technology has made communication unbelievably fast and convenient.
In the past,writing a letter or finding a wired telephone was the best way to communicate with the people at a distance.2.    You can send them a message on social media,text them,have a video chat with them,email them,or give them a call.
Mobile technology creates the “all-purpose” device.
With many businesses mobile technology has brought about,there are some products that have made out of date.Now just one device has replaced the portable (便携式的) music player,the alarm clock,the calculator,the camera,the flashlight,the calendar and much more.3.  
Mobile technology leads to ever present distraction.
In many places,it’s a common sight to see just about everyone with a mobile phone within his reach.From the first two aspects listed above,that can be useful.4.    As mobile technology has become more and more widespread in today’s society,research has begun to connect heavy day-to-day use with a number of side effects,the majority of which are related to mental health.
5.   We should accept that mobile technology is here to stay and improve our lives for the better in spite of its shortcomings.In my opinion,its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages.
A.We cannot ignore its disadvantages.
B.All in all,mobile technology greatly benefits our lives.
C.However,instant access is not always a good thing.
D.While these things do still exist,they are no longer absolutely essential.
E.Nowadays,you are blessed with more efficient options at your fingertips.
F.The conventional way of doing shopping has also changed beyond imagination.
G.Since then,advances in mobile technology have shaped our lives in various ways.

Plastic is one of the most important technological discoveries of the 20th century.However,German scientists are certain that this material may soon be replaced.The new development—liquid wood—can replace plastics in all branches of modern industries.
Plastic as a material enjoys the biggest demand in the modern world,
but it does have a number of disadvantages.First,plastic is not recyclable.
Second,it contains poisons that can cause cancer.Finally,plastic is made of oil,which is not endless.
The liquid wood technology is able to replace plastic and provide mankind with new materials for many years ahead.Arboform is a new material,which can be got from soft tissues(组织) of wood.Once mixed with several other ingredients(成分),it turns into solid and non-poisonous material.
The wood-working industry separates wood into three basic things including lignin(木质素),which is not used for the production of paper.
Specialists of an institute mixed lignin with several natural materials and thus invented the material which could be melted and moulded (铸造).
When solid arboform looks like plastic and possesses the qualities of wood,it can be used for the production of any items.
Arboform is already used for the production of car parts.However,the new invention does not enjoy a wide use due to the high content of sulphur(硫) in it.German researchers believe that they will be able to reduce the amount of sulphur by 90 percent very soon to make arboform usable for home needs.
In addition,liquid wood can be recycled repeatedly.The analysis of arboform showed that the material had all of its qualities even if it was reprocessed ten times.

  Made of thin cotton and sewed together in only 20 minutes,an experimental pair of gloves isn’t particularly fashionable or useful for keeping anyone’s hands warm.Instead,they are used for an entirely different purpose: teaching piano.
In a study,a graduate student Luo of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her colleagues created these “smart gloves” using advanced technology,which includes physical sensations such as vibration (振动) or force to help with learning activities.Researchers used the gloves to record one pianist’s hand movements while playing a song.They then relayed those movements to a student through fingertip vibrations,helping the learner build muscle memory and perform the piece with greater precision.
“Hand-based movements like piano playing are normally really subjective and difficult to record and transfer,” Luo says.“But with these gloves we are actually able to track a piano teacher’s touch experience and share it with another person to improve their tactile (触觉的) learning process.”
Using a computerised sewing machine,the team wove (织入) small wires linked to a pressure-sensing material in the gloves to detect hand motions.When a piano teacher wearing the gloves repeatedly performed a tune,a machine-learning algorithm(算法) processed their movement on the keys and translated it into instructional vibrations.Students wearing their own gloves then attempted to play the same tune,with the fingertip vibrations guiding them through proper movements.By the trials’ end,students who had practised with the gloves could play more accurately than those who had not.
Playing piano is often just for fun,but Rice University mechanical engineer O’Malley adds that with an improved algorithm,the new glove technology could someday help to teach crucial practices such as surgeries.“Instructional touch removes a step in the learning process that auditory and visual learning can’t.” she says.“When vibration is actually felt directly at the point of action,we can act and learn quicker and with that,there’s so much potential.”

Here are the introductions and achievements of four scientists.
J ns Jacob Berzelius
J ns Jacob Berzelius was a Swedish chemist,often referred to as one of the founders of modern chemistry.He developed a system of chemical symbols,which laid the foundation for the establishment of the modern periodic table (现代元素周期表).Berzelius also made important discoveries in the field of electrochemistry.
Niels Henrik David Bohr
Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist.He proposed the atomic model known as the Bohr model,which explained the behaviour of electrons moving in fixed energy levels or orbits around the atomic nucleus.His model helped explain the spectra (光谱) of elements and laid the groundwork for further developments in atomic physics.
Robert Boyle
Robert Boyle,born in Ireland,was regarded as one of the founders of modern chemistry,known for Boyle’s law.Boyle’s law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume (体积) of a gas at constant temperature.Boyle’s work laid the foundation for the modern understanding of gas behaviour and promoted the development of scientific experimental methods.
William Lawrence Bragg
William Lawrence Bragg was a physicist born in Australia who made significant contributions to X-ray crystallography (晶体学).Together with his father William Henry Bragg,he developed the famous Bragg’s law.This discovery revolutionised the field of crystallography and paved the way for determining the atomic and molecular (分子的) structures of various substances,including DNA and proteins.

Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions,whether to Mars or other planets much further away.Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space.Instead,we should feed the poor and find immediate solutions to other problems,such as pollution and fatal diseases.However,
others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us.
Firstly,exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger.It has directly resulted in many satellites that now orbit Earth.A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns.Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth.After careful analysis,the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers.As a result,space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth’s increasing population.
Secondly,space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all.High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration.For example,
space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material.
They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use.Today,space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries,and everyday products,such as memory foam pillows and smartphone cameras,are changing our lives.
Finally,sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world’s problems and even to find ways to solve them.Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet’s resources are limited.In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population,scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home.The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth.In the future humans may live on both planets.
In closing,exploring space provides the world with many different benefits.Therefore,it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people’s short-term and long-term problems.

  In the scientific history,few rivalries(竞争) have captured the imagination like the one between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison.
These two inventors,each with their unique approaches and visions,
engaged in a fierce competition that forever transformed the world of electricity and innovation.
The paths of Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison first crossed in the late 1800s when Tesla arrived in the United States with his boundless enthusiasm and inventive spirit.Tesla,a young Serbian engineer,sought opportunities to work on his ambitious ideas.Edison,already an established inventor and entrepreneur,recognised Tesla’s talent and employed him at his company.
It was during Tesla’s time working for Edison that the seeds of rivalry were sown.Edison advocated direct current (DC) as the dominant method for electrical distribution,while Tesla saw the potential of alternating current (AC) systems,which offered greater efficiency over longer distances.
The turning point in their rivalry occurred with the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893.Tesla,backed by George Westinghouse,successfully showcased the superiority of AC by lighting the fairgrounds with his AC-powered system.This success crushed Edison’s claims of DC’s superiority,leading to the widespread adoption of AC as the standard for electrical power transmission (传输).
However,due to Edison’s influence,AC power was initially dismissed as dangerous and unreliable.In order to demonstrate its safety,Tesla held a public demonstration where he famously lit up a string of lights using his AC motor powered by Niagara Falls,proving once and for all that AC power was safe for use in homes and businesses around the world.
While both sides fought fiercely for control of electricity distribution networks across America,it was ultimately Tesla’s AC system that won out due to its greater efficiency over long distances compared with DC systems which quickly lost voltage (电压) as distance increased from their source point.Eventually even Edison himself came around and accepted defeat when he finally admitted that “Tesla has solved an extremely difficult problem”.
Despite their differences,the two men had an unwilling respect for each other.Edison was known to refer to Tesla as “one of the greatest electrical geniuses the world has ever seen” while Tesla praised Edison’s contributions to the field of electricity.Though their rivalry defined the development of electricity in the late 19th century,its impact still resonates
(产生共鸣) today.

【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,正是在特斯拉为爱迪生工作的那段时间里,竞争的种子播下了。爱迪生主张将直流电(DC)作为主要的配电方式,而特斯拉则看到了交流电(AC)系统的潜力,交流电可以在更远的距离上提供更高的效率,由此可知,特斯拉和爱迪生在电力的传输方式方面有所不同。故选D。
(  )9.How did Tesla prove the reliability of AC power
[A]By conducting a public experiment at Niagara Falls.
[B]By displaying AC-powered lighting in a community.
[C]By getting support from George Westinghouse.
[D]By highlighting the limitations of DC power.
A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段内容可知,为了证明交流电的安全性,特斯拉举行了一次公开演示,他用尼亚加拉大瀑布供电的交流电机点亮了一串灯,从而彻底证明了交流电在世界各地的家庭和企业中使用是安全的,由此可知,特斯拉通过在尼亚加拉大瀑布进行公开实验来证明交流电的可靠性。故选A。
(  )10.Why did Tesla’s AC system finally achieve success
[A]It provided higher voltage outputs.
[B]It was easier to operate and maintain.
[C]It had superior long-range performance.
[D]It received more financial backing.
C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,虽然双方都在为控制美国各地的配电网络而激烈竞争,但最终特斯拉的交流电系统胜出,因为与直流电系统相比,它在长距离上的效率更高,而直流电系统随着距离源点的增加而迅速失去电压。最后,连爱迪生自己也接受了失败,他终于承认“特斯拉解决了一个极其困难的问题”。由此可知,是因交流电系统具有优越的远程性能,所以最终取得了成功。故选C。
(  )11.What message does the author want to convey in the text
[A]Every cloud has a silver lining.
[B]Real knowledge comes from practice.
[C]A rising tide lifts all boats.
[D]Rivalry fuels progress.
D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容及最后一段可知,文章主要讲述了尼古拉·特斯拉和托马斯·爱迪生之间的竞争改变世界的电力发展,所以作者想在文章中传达的是竞争推动进步的观点。故选D。
