Question

【题目】A team of engineers 【1】(create)a super-thin material that could help keep buildings cool. The team developed the revolutionary new material, 【2】is very thin and can cool objects even under direct sunlight. The material does not need energy to work【3】does it need water to help keep things cool. The engineers say【4】new material could provide an answer to air conditioners, which are expensive 【5】(run). The material is unlike anything 【6】(find) in nature. It is just 50 micrometers thick. That's slightly 【7】(thick) than the aluminum foil(锡箔纸) we use for cooking.

The engineers explained how their new material works. They said when it is put on top of something, two things happen. It cools the object underneath by 【8】(reflect) the sun's rays back into space. At the same time, the material removes the object's own heat and sends that into the air. An engineer said: "We're excited about the opportunity to explore potential uses in different scientific 【9】(field)." Another researcher said: "Just 10 to 20 square meters of this material on the rooftop could 【10】(nice) cool down a house in summer."

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】has created

【2】which

【3】nor/neither

【4】the

【5】to run

【6】found

【7】thicker

【8】reflecting

【9】fields

【10】nicely

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要向我们介绍了一种比锡箔纸稍厚的可以保持建筑物凉爽的新材料。

【1】考查时态。“A team of engineers ___1___(create) a super-thin material that could help keep buildings cool.”句意：一个团队的工程师创造了一个超薄的材料，可以使建筑物保持凉爽。讲的是过去发生的事对现在产生的影响，故应该用现在完成时，故填has created。

【2】考查非限制性定语从句。“The team developed the revolutionary new material, ___2___ is very thin and can cool objects even under direct sunlight.”句意：研究小组开发了革命性的新材料，这种材料非常薄，即使在阳光直射下也能冷却物体。考查非限定性定语从句，先行词是the revolutionary new material，故填which。

【3】考查固定句型。句意：这种材料不需要能量来工作，也不需要水来帮助保持凉爽。此题考查固定搭配。not ...nor ...或not...neither...意为“不……也不……”，符合语境，故填nor/neither。

【4】考查冠词。句意：工程师们说这种新材料可以为空调提供答案。这种材料就是文中前面所提到的，是特指，故填the。

【5】考查非谓语动词。句意：这是昂贵的运行。在“be + 性质形容词 + to do”结构中，通常使用不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。故填to run。

【6】句意：这种材料与自然界中发现的任何东西都不一样。这种发现是指过去发现的一切，所以应该用过去时，故填found。

【7】句意：这比铝箔稍厚（锡箔纸）我们用来煮饭。由than可知，此题考查形容词的比较级，故填thicker。

【8】句意：它通过反射太阳光线回到太空使物体冷却。by doing sth意为“通过做某事”，故填reflecting。

【9】句意：我们很高兴有机会在不同的科学领域探索潜在的用途。different scientific fields“不同的科学领域”，所以应该用名词的复数形式，故填fields。

【10】句意：只有10到20平方米的屋顶上的这种材料可以在夏天很好地冷却一个房子。修饰动词cool（冷却）应该用副词形式，故填nicely。
