Researchers have developed a lithiumair battery that could make that dream a reality. The new battery design could also one day power airplanes and trucks. The main new component in this lithiumair battery is a solid electrolyte (电解质) instead of the usual liquid variety.Batteries with solid electrolytes are not subject to safety problems with the liqu id electrolytes used in lithiumion and other battery types, which can overheat and catch fire. More importantly, the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy four times, which translates into longer driving range.For over a decade, scientists have been working overtime to develop a lithium (锂) battery that makes use of the oxygen in air. The lithiumair battery has the highest energy of any battery technology being considered for the nextgeneration of batteries beyond lithiumion.The new solid electrolyte is composed of a material made from relatively inexpensive elements, compared with the past designs. Besides, the chemical reaction in lithiumion only involves one or two electrons stored per oxygen molecule (分子), while that for t he lithiumair battery involves four electrons. More electrons stored means higher energy.The new design is the first lithiumair battery that has achieved a fourelectron reaction at room temperature. It also operates with oxygen supplied by air from the surrounding environment. The capability to run with air avoids the need for oxygen tanks to operate, a problem with earlier designs.“With further development, we expect our new design for the lithiumair battery to reach a record of 1,200 w atthours per kilogram,” said Curtiss, a researcher. “That is nearly four times better than lithiumion batteries.”1.What contributes most to the lithiumair battery?A.Lithiumion. B.Oxygen molecules.C.Solid electrolytes. D.Liquid components.2.What's the problem with lithiumion batteries?A.They burn easily if overheated.B.They are unsafe in production.C.They damage the environment.D.They require longer charging time.3.How does the author organize Paragraph 4?A.By giving examples.B.By making comparisons.C.By presenting statistics.D.By analyzing cause and effect.4.What is the best title of the text?A.How Lithiumair Batteries WorkB.What Will Be Used to Power AirplanesC.Electric Cars Are Becoming More PopularD.New Batteries Offer Longer Driving RangeBGrizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche—we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.“Grizzly bears are reoccupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven't been seen in a century or more, they're increasingly being sighted by humans.The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allo w them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren't taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at gettin g grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractantfree place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.5.How do Americans look at grizzlies?A.They cause mixed feelings in people.B.They should be kept in national parks.C.They are of high scientific value.D.They are a symbol of American culture.6.What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?A.The European settlers' behavior.B.The expansion of bears' range.C.The protection by law since 1975.D.The support of Native Americans.7.What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from delisting grizzlies?A.The opposition of conservation groups.B.The successful comeback of grizzlies.C.The voice of the biologists.D.The local farmers' advocates.8.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Food should be provided for grizzlies.B.People can live in harmony with grizzlies.C.A special path should be built for grizzlies.D.Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.答题策略语法填空——冠词练习52 语法填空+阅读理解Ⅰ.语法填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

考点5-主旨要义之文章大意--练高考--心中有数1.2022年全国甲卷之C篇As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witness ing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?A. Try challenging things.B. Take a degree.C. Bring back lost memories.D. Stick to a promise.29. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?A. Lovely penguins.B. Beautiful scenery.C. A discount fare.D. A friend’s invitation.30. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?A. It could be a home for her.B. It should be easily accessible.C It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.31. What is the text mainly about?A. A childhood dream.B. An unforgettable experience.C. Sailing around the world.D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。
阅读理解专题卷54Last year more than 13 Korean TV series were introduced in China. Turn on the TV, and Korean beauties are appearing during peak viewing times(黄金时段). Some of the dramas are being repeated, but audiences continue to watch them. Why are the South Korean TV series loved by so many Chinese people? Cheng Yiting, a student from East China Normal University, gives us her reasons. She thinks that the good-looking actors with cool clothes and the beautiful sight in the dramas are the selling points for South Korean TV dramas. But what attracted the young audiences most is the pure and moving love stories.And it seems that South Korean TV series has also won the hearts of middle-aged people. They are touched by the morals(道德)in the shows. These include the importance of respecting elders and social order. Though some people think South Korean TV series are too slow and too long, most of the Chinese audiences like them. Maybe we are really tired of Western TV series. Compared with that, South Korean TV series are not bad.1.What does the underlined word "repeated" in the third line mean?A.大长今B.流行 C.重播D.垃圾时段2.Which of the following is not mentioned(提及)about South Korean TV series in the passage?A.Love. B.Morals.C.Social order. D.The youth self-respect.3.What is the main reason why South Korean TV series are popular?A.The series are slow and long.B.The actors wear cool clothes.C.The stories with morals in them are pure and moving.D.The actors are cool.4.What do you know about South Korean TV series from the passage?A.Thirteen more South Korean TV series will be introduced to China.B.Young audiences like South Korean TV series better than middle aged people.C.All the South Korean TV series will be repeated this year.D.Some Chinese think part of South Korean TV series are worth watching twice.Reading is the key to success in all school subjects. With a bit of creativity, you can help your child enjoy reading more, and encourage him to do more!Buy or borrow a lot of “fun” books. Choose books that are slightly below his level of reading ability. Don’t forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. Don’t comment about the books. Simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. Computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. Instead, you should take advantage of your child’s love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.Buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. Tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. Most kids will do anything else ra ther than go to sleep, so there’s a chance you’ll create a new bedtime reading habit. Many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. Put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading material is available.Often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. This change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. Even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. Select books together, and make sure they’re ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.5.To make children become interested in reading, parents should _______.A. choose books based on their interestB. tell them what they can learn from these booksC. choose the easiest books for them to readD. always read books together with them6.Which of the following is NOT what parents are advised to do?A. Pick the right computer games.B. Reduce children’s sleeping time.C. Have reading material available.D. Read to children when possible.7.What attitude do most parents hold towards children playing computer games?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Negative.D. Neutral (中立的).8.The main idea of the passage is to ________.A. help children succeed in school subjectsB. give parents advice on how to educate childrenC. remind parents of the importance of readingD. teach parents how to encourage children to readWhen you get in your car, you reach for it. When you're at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modem life, the cell phone. And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships.The costs are becoming more and more evident, and I don't mean just the monthly bill. Dr.Chris Knippers, a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on -one personal contact, and an escape from reality. Sounds extreme, but we' ve all witnessed the evidence: The person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him. Jim Williams, an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell - phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones, e - mail and instant messaging, in other words, Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents. “Just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the Internet and cel l phoneshave produced fewer friends,” he says.If the cell phone has truly had these effects, it's because it has become very widespread. Consider that in 1987, there were only l million cell phones in use. Today, something like 300 million Americans carry them. They far outnumber wired phones in the United States.9.From the first two paragraphs, we can know .A .cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettesB.cell phone addiction is good for building personal relationshipsC.people are longing to have their own cell phonesD.cell phones are the same as cigarettes10.Cell phone addiction has caused the following effects EXCEPT .A.a barrier to personal contact B.fewer friendsC.an escape from reality D.a serious illness11.The underlined word "curb" in Paragraph 2 means “.”A.ignore B.control C.develop D.rescue12.The example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that . A.women Use cell phones more often than menB.talking on the phone while driving is dangerousC.cell phones do not necessarily bring people togetherD.cell phones make one - on - one personal contact easy13.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Cell phones Are the New CigarettesB.Cell phones Are Harmful to the SocietyC.The New Report about the Cell phoneD.The Disadvantages of the Cell phoneImagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens every day to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like “shoplifters”. Even though I’d never steal, s tore employees looked at me like I’m some kind of hardened criminal mastermind. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Grab “n” Go on Tuesday. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story:“NO MORE THAN TWO STUDENTS AT A TIME.” After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are lifting too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? Not only were we considered to be shoplifters, but brilliant, greedy shoplifters.The Grab “n” Go isn’t an isolated case. Earlier this year, a department store worker told me to leave my backpack at the front of the store. When I asked who was going to keep an eye on my stuff, she said, “Don’t worry. It is n’t going anywhere.”In other words, I had to risk losing my stuff so that the store wouldn’t have to risk losing theirs. “Don’t worry,”I replied, “I don’t need to shop here.”The most annoying thing, though, is the way employees watch my friends and me. It’s almost strange and frightening. Once, at a drug store, I went down an aisle and found a guy standing on a box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, which were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that?You know, this kind of prejudice can go both ways. I work at the CD Crib, and every day I see adults commit a terrible crime. They put on a set of headphones and sort of dance to the music. Talk about bad! Tomorrow, I’m going to put a sign in the window: “NO MORE THAN TWO ADULTS LISTNENING TO MUSIC AT A TIME.”14.“ Shoplifters” ( Paragraph 1) refers to _____________.A. the neighborB. thievesC. employeesD. store owners15.The manager of the Grab “n” Go thought that _______________________.A. people might be angry about the lining upB. the shop might be over-crowdedC. students might steal thingsD. kids should be accompanied by their parents16.What is the tone of the writer?A. AngryB. SadC. PleasedD. Excited17.By saying “this kind of prejudice can go both ways”, the writer intends to _______________.A. put up a notice to prevent adults from committing a crime.B. encourage adults to listen to CDs before they buy them.C. stop adults from talking bad things when in CD stores.D. accuse adults in the same way as they did towards the boys18. How does the writer develop his argument?A. By exampleB. By classificationC. By comparison and contrastD. By cause and effectDevelopment of a widely accepted chronology for the arrival of humans has been equally difficult, and it was only with the development of optically stimulated luminescence dating that a human presence in Australia was confirmed at 53,000 to 60,000 years ago. Older dates for a human presence in Australia have now been shown to be erroneous .The importance of Australia as a separate natural laboratory in which to test extinction theories lies in the fact that humans arrived there much earlier than they arrived in the other continental areas (the Americas and northern Eurasia) that experienced substantial megafaunal extinction. What Miller et al. have shown is that the extinction of Genyornis occurred simultaneously across southeastern Australia (indeed probably right across the continent) about 50,000 years ago. This is very close to the presently accepted time of arrival of humans in Australia. It was also a period of modest climate change, well before the dramatic climatic fluctuations of the terminal Pleistocene. The data of Miller et al., therefore, support those who see human hunting rather than climate as causing the extinction of the megafauna.Genyornis was a ponderous bird, around 80 to 100 kg in weight, about twice as heavy as the living emu and cassowary. It was an inhabitant of Australia s inland plains and some coastal regions, but its legs were relatively short and thick, suggestion that it was a slower runner than the emu. Proponents of human caused extinction suggest that it is just such characteristics that made the megafauna vulnerable to human hunting.A new school of thought has recently established itself in the extinction debate. It advocates the idea that a combination of human impact and climate change was responsible for the extinction of。

【2014·高三年级模拟考试】Many people think of the brain as a mystery.They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is,many people believe that a person is born smart,average,or dumb—and stays that way in the whole life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle—it changes and gets stronger when you use it.And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights,your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time.That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise.And when you stop exercising,the muscles shrink and you get weaker.That’s why people say “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things,parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.Inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells,called neurons.The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicatedmunication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems.When you learn new things,these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger.The more you challenge your mind to learn,the more your brain cells grow.Then,things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do—like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代数)—seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time.The result is a stronger,smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains.They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things.1. According to the first paragraph,________.A.the function of our brain is like that of the muscleB.until now it’s impossible to explain the brain’s mystery C.many people believe one’s intelligence is naturally determined D.one’s brain grows stronger as the age increases2.Training muscles is compared to________.A.using the brainB.connecting things in your brainC.lifting weightsD.doing research about the brain3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The complex structure of the brain.B.How changes in the muscles affect the brain.C.The importance of the brain.D.How the brain becomes stronger by learning new things.4.What does the underlined word “perspicacious” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Strong. B.Smart.C.Popular. D.Active.5.The following paragraph will most probably talk about________.A.the differences between animals’ brains and humans’ brainsB.the relation between human brains and musclesC.scientists’ findings about animals’ brainsD.how to make your brain smarter through selfdevelopment语篇解读科学研究发现,经常学习能促进大脑的发育,正如经常锻炼能使肌肉更强健一样。

Hu Liang, from Central China's Hubei province, moved to Finland after graduation at 21. Twelve years on, he has seen more and more Chinese tourists visiting the country to enjoy the winter holiday, Aurora Borealis—and of course, the home of Santa Claus. “Chinese people are becoming richer and more international. What has not changed is their stomachs. So I made the decision to op en the restaurant.”Hu's restaurant serves reganmian, a traditional Wuhan noodle dish with spicy flavor and a sesame paste dressing, as well as Chinese hot pot. He orders food materials from Chinese trade corporations through ecommence platforms and offers epayment popular among Chinese people such as Alipay. At a price of 15 euro ($18.45), a bowl of reganmian is not only a great comfort for Chinese tourists who have traveled from thousands of miles away, but also an attraction to local Finns.In Rovaniemi, with a population of around 60,000, Hu receives more than 300 guests in the peak season to present people a lot of spicy experience in the cold, snowy country. Married to a Finnish woman and father to one child, Hu has adapted himself to the Nordic lifestyle with regular skiing and ice fishing trips. He said he would bring his child to Wuhan, and try to switch between the two cities every half year.1.What's the main reason for Hu Liang to open a Chinese restaurant in Finland?A.Finland is said to be the home of Santa Claus.B.He migrated to Finland after graduation.C.Chinese tourists still love Chinese food.D.Chinese tourists can use Alipay.2.What is the feature of reganmian according to the text?A.Spicy and traditional.

As scientists look deeper into our genes (基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattleraising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation—not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of seadwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they've also built houses on stilts (支柱) in coastal water s. “They are simply a stranger to the land,” said Rodney C. Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. “We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than us local islanders,” Dr. Jubilado said. “I could see them actually walking under the sea.”In 2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them. “It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,” said Dr. Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.5.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1?A.Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers.B.New knowledge of human evolution.C.Recent findings of human origin.D.Significance of food selection.6.Where do the Bajau build their houses?A.In valleys. B.Near rivers.C.On the beach. D.Off the coast.7.Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau?A.They could walk on stilts all day.B.They had a superb way of fishing.C.They could stay long underwater.D.They lived on both land and water.8.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Bodies Remodeled for a Life at SeaB.Highlanders' Survival SkillsC.Basic Methods of Genetic ResearchD.The World's Best Divers答题策略短文改错——冠词练习52 语法填空+阅读理解1.答案与解析:an cover an area of“占地……(面积)”,为固定短语。

科普知识(阅读理解)由 (2013辽宁,C)改编Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can’t make us tired.It sounds absurd.But a few years ago,scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳).To the amazement of these scientists,they discovered that blood passing through the brain,when it is active,shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer,we would find it full of fatigue toxins (毒素) and fatigue products.But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein,it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.So far as the brain is concerned,it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning.The brain is totally tireless.So what makes us tired?Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional (情感的) attitudes.One of England’s most outstanding scientists,,says,“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin.In fact,fatigue of purely physical origin is rare.” Dr.Brill,a famous American scientist,goes even further.He declares,“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored,anger,anxiety,tenseness,worry,a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers.Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.1.What surprised the scientists a few years ago?( )A.Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer’s blood.B.Albert Einstein didn’t feel worn out after a day’s work.C.The brain could work for many hours without fatigue.D.A mental worker’s blood was filled with fatigue toxins.2.According to the author,which of the following can make sitting workers tired?( )A.Challenging mental work.B.Unpleasant emotions.C.Endless tasks.D.Physical labor.3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the scientists’ ideas?()A.He agrees with them.B.He doubts them.C.He argues against them.D.He hesitates to accept them.4.We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic,sitting workers need to .A.have some good foodB.enjoy their workC.exercise regularlyD.discover fatigue toxins语篇解读:科学家们研究发现,单纯的脑力劳动不会使人感到劳累。
