【题目】 Scientists in the U.S. have created an artificial sunflower less than 0. 04 inches wide that can bend towards a light source and harvest solar energy. The flowers were found to be about 400 percent more efficient than other equipment, making them promising technology for solar power potentially even as a power source for solar-based spaceships.

The team, led by researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, was looking to improve. the efficiency of solar cells by modeling after a feature of nature-phototropism. This is where a plant adjusts itself to face the sun, getting the most amount of energy it can get. In a study published in Nature Nanotechnology, the team said it was a 'big challenge'.

However, this problem has now been overcome. The team has developed a polymer(聚合物) that is responsive to being simulated by light, The system, which they have named SunBOT for short, is able to instantly explore and track a light source. It can do this across a range of temperatures without power supply or any human intervention.

The researchers used the polymer to create a 'stem'. Then they placed a material commonly used in solar cells on its top, representing the 'flower'. When the team shone a light at the SunBOTs, the polymer began heating up and shrinking, causing the stem to bend so the flower faced the light.

The researchers tested their artificial sunflowers to see how efficient they were at harvesting solar energy Findings showed they were up to 400 percent more effective than non-phototrophic materials.

The practical applications of SunBOTs are some way off. The study shows a proof of concept, but the technology will need to be scaled up to be used commercially. However, the team is confident it could one day be used a across a broad range of industries.

This work may be useful for solar harvesters signal revere smart windows, self-contained robotics solar sails for spaceships and intelligent energy generation (for example, solar cells and biofuels), the scientific team said.

1Why do the scientists create the artificial sunflower?

A.To prevent pollution.B.To protect sunflowers.

C.To reuse green energy.D.To warn us of the energy crisis.

2What can we learn about SunBOTs?

A.SunBOTs are likely to be too limited in future use.

B.There is some time before SunBOTs are put into markets.

C.Scientists are still not sure of the function of SunBOTs.

D.SunBOTts are not efficient, though advanced, in collecting energy.

3Where can we read such a text?

A.In an education report.B.In a market report.

C.In an experiment report.D.In a science report.

【题目】 China’s 40-year-long process of reform and opening up meant foreign influences gaining a foothold(一席之地) in the country. However, now the process can also be viewed in the opposite way, that is, the outside world is opening up as a receptacle for Chinese culture. Where once it was all a matter of Chinese people fascinated by Hollywood movies, a new “soft power” trend is taking Chinese pop music, TV series and novels to appreciative audiences abroad.

Englishwoman Hollie Sowden and American Nora Wilson developed a website called “Written Chinese,” with a Chinese woman named Chamcen Liu. The website provides a dictionary and other Mandarin-learning tools. Wilson says, “At the beginning, it was just a Facebook page where we posted characters, their meanings and example sentences. That page expanded like crazy, with nearly 280, 000 followers. That’s why we decided to develop a dictionary app and then the website.”

Sowden and Wilson aren’t the only eager to tap world interest in China.

Years ago, groups formed in the US to provide English subtitles for popular Chinese TV dramas. There are also websites translating Chinese novels, especially fantasy series. Wuxia World and Gravity Tales are two examples, with tens of thousands of followers on their Facebook pages.

Chinese music, too, is walking through the open door that once was a one-way street. Melody C2E is a student club at the Shanghai International Studies University. It now has around 300, 000 subscribers. The inspiration is rooted in 2016, when Pan Jianghao heard a youth envoy(公使) for the United Nations say that the world wanted to hear more from Chinese young people. Motivated by his words, Pan and Lin Hongying decided to found a new musical group and share Chinese pop songs with the rest of the world via English translation.

1What does the underlined word “receptacle” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.Container.B.Dormitory.

C.Center.D.Foundation.

2What do we know about “Written Chinese”?

A.It has nearly 280, 000 followers.

B.It helps learn Chinese characters.

C.It involves daily life in China.

D.It is developed by two foreigners.

3Why was Melody C2E set up?

A.To motivate Chinese young people.

B.To preserve Chinese traditional songs.

C.To improve its members’ translation skills.

D.To introduce Chinese pop songs to the globe.

4What is the best title for the text?

A.Foreign Websites with a Chinese Touch

B.Competition Leading to a Culture Boom

C.China’s Cultural Footprint on Foreign Shores

D.Reform and Opening up Shaping a New Generation

【题目】 I’m going through it right now. Last night one of our three family dogs was hit and killed by a car in front of my mother’s house. The dogs became, more or less, my mother’s surrogate children after her human children grew up and moved out and my father ran with a midlife crisis and left her. The one that was killed had bonded with my mother far more than the others.

She is extremely shocked. I loved the dog, but my true sadness currently results from having to watch my mother bear another tragedy after everything she has been through in her life. In the midst of all of this, I have to sincerely applaud the driver of the vehicle, which feels wrong, but it’s not.

I’ll start by stating it was not his fault. The dog ran after a deer into the road at night. In an effort not to hit the deer with his car, he changed direction, not seeing the dog, resulting in its death. He could have very easily continued on his way, but he did something that I hope I never forget.

In my eyes, he did the right thing. The driver pulled over, carefully wrapped our dog in a blanket he got from his car to preserve its dignity, and carried it up to my mother’s front door.

He was visibly shaking and very upset. He informed my mother of what happened and she broke down immediately. He comforted her the best a stranger could and waited with her while my sister rushed to her house. He left his information and offered assistance in any way he could.

Yes, he is the man who hit and killed our dog accidentally. What he really did was spare my mother, and potentially my sister, from coming across a horrible scene themselves while searching for the dog. He had so many choices that were far easier to make than what he chose. He did the right thing and for that, thank you, Stranger. You restored my faith in humanity.

1What do we know about the dog killed by the driver?

A.It was killed by the driver on purpose.

B.It lost its life during a fight against a deer.

C.It was a particular favorite of the author’s mother.

D.It got killed by hitting the deer while running after it.

2What does the underlined part “feels wrong, but it’s not” in Paragraph 2 probably mean

A.The driver ought to answer for the dog’s death.

B.The author thought it sensible to praise the driver.

C.The author believed it was not the driver’s fault to kill the dog.

D.The driver should not take responsibility for the dog’s death at a11.

3Which of the following can best describe the driver?

A.Self-condemned and considerate.B.Calm and far-sighted.

C.Reliable and generous.D.Irresponsible and unreasonable.

4What may the author agree with?

A.Still waters have deep bottoms.

B.Those who are ready to believe are easy to cheat.

C.When the wound is healedthe pain is forgotten.

D.Taking responsibility is the best policy.

【题目】A Great Way to Teach Children to Take Responsibility

As parents, one of the most important things to teach children to take responsibility is to include chores as a part of their daily routine. In order to make a family function smoothly, every member must contribute. Teaching your children to take responsibility at an early age makes it easier for them to shoulder greater responsibilities as they grow older.

1 If your children leave their crayons lying on the table after drawing, picking up those crayons is not a chore. It is cleaning up a mess they have created. 2

3. For example, if it is to feed the dog every day, make sure the children understand that if they fail in their responsibility, the dog will go hungry.

Make rewards and punishments a part of the lesson. Together decide whether they will be rewarded or not. 4 Some parents make their reward a monetary payment, while others choose to reward with certain privileges, such as extra television viewing time.

Children need to be taught that there are punishments for their actions in case of not doing their assigned chores. Decide and agree from the start what the punishment will be.

Teaching your children the importance of contributing to the family is of great importance. 5 By taking this step, you have done a wonderful thing for your children by providing them with life skills they can take with them into society.

A.A chore is a specific task a child has been assigned which helps improve the life of the entire family.

B.And what punishment they will receive if a chore isn’t done.

C.Actually you are taking a critical step in empowering them for their future.

D.Start by teaching children the difference between a chore and cleaning up after themselves.

E.Teach children the importance of each assignment, and why it matters.

F.Children will not be rewarded at all for merely cleaning up.

G.And if so, what the reward will be for a job well done.

【题目】72 Hours in Beijing

Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa-free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let’s start with the capital of China, Beijing.

Mutianyu Great Wall

Your trip to Beijing isn’t really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”, the Great Wall of China.

798 Art Zone

This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s.

With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings.
