A team of students in the Netherlands has designed and built a new car that is completely powered by the sun. The car, called Stella Terra, is the first solar-powered car that can travel fora long journey without needing a charging station (充电站).
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have been working on solar-powered cars for years. In order to create a car that the team was planning for, the students had to design the car from top to bottom.
On top, of course, are the solar panels (太阳能板). Most solar panels are only about 20% efficient (效率高的). That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra's solar panels are 26% efficient. They waste far less sunlight than even the best solar panels you can buy. Thanks to its powerful solar panels, when it's sunny, the car can run for 710 kilometers a day. Stella Terra can carry two people, and has a top speed of 145 kph. The car weighs just 1,200 kilograms. That's about two-thirds the weight of a typical car.
The team recently took the car on its biggest test-a challenging 1,000-kilometer test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry riverbeds. It had to drive across burning desert sands and climb up mountain roads. The car succeeded in doing all of this—and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
The team is very proud of their car, but they won't be worried if car companies start to copy their idea. In fact, they will share the idea before car companies are able to build a similar car.
24. What can we learn about the car
A. It's terribly expensive. B. It can travel more freely.
C. It has been out of style. D. It has come on the market.
25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The appearance of Stella Terra. B. The hardship the team suffered.
C. The members of the design team. D. The basic information on the car.
26. Why did the team drive the car across Morocco
A. To test out its performances. B. To find more buyers.
C. To improve their driving skills. D. To enjoy the amazing sight.
27. What does the team want to do concerning the idea
A. Keep it top secret. B. Put it into production.
C. Share it with car producers. D. Sell it to other students.
C
A three-year drought has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water. A new study says it would not have happened without human-caused climate (气候) change.
The team looked at temperature and rainfall levels. And they compared what happened in the last three years to many different computer models of the conditions in a world without human-caused climate change. They concluded that without the world warming 1.2℃ since the mid-19th century, there would not be such a serious drought at all.
"Human-caused climate change is already making life extremely hard for tens of millions of people in West Asia," said study co-writer Mohammed Rahimi. "With every degree of warming, Syria, Iraq and Iran will become even harder places to live."
Computer models did not find any considerable signs of climate change in the low rainfall. Otto said. But evaporation (蒸发) of water in lakes, rivers, and wetlands was much higher than it would have been without climate change-increased temperatures. The study writers found that the drought conditions in Syria and Iraq are 25 times more likely because of climate change, and in Iran, 16 times more likely.
"Drought is not unusual to the Middle East area. But fights make the area even more likely to have a drought because they have weakened water systems," said study co-writer Rana El Hajj. "This is already touching the limits (极限) of what some people are able to stand. As long as we keep burning fuels that affect climate change and continue to explore new oil and gas fields, these kinds of events will only get worse," she added. "This will continue to destroy lives and keep food pries high."
28. What caused the drought according to the study
A. Loss of wetlands. B. Cold weather. C. Rising temperatures. D. Forest damage.
29. How does climate change affect the people in West Asia
A. They become wise. B. They explore more oil.
C. They are ready to help. D. They lead a hard life.
30. What is Rana's attitude to the situation in the area
A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Positive.
31. In which part of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Environment. B. Technology. C. Health. D. Education.
D
Your ears are already dark, wet and full of oils and dead skin—a delicious meal for many bacteria (细菌). It seems that wearing headphones could only make that environment more inviting to these bacteria.
Actually, a 2008 study at Manipal University in India found that frequent (频繁的) use of headphones did increase the population of bacteria in the ear—mostly the staphylococcus, a common skin bacterium. And in 1992, a study at the Navy Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland in the US, found that the kind of over-the-ear headphones used by airlines had 11 times more bacteria after having been worn for just one hour.
As unpleasant as this sounds, there is no need to worry about it. The headphones in the second study were clean before use, so began with a very low bacterial population and that increase resulted in a fairly low number in absolute terms.
Also, this increase was not fast enough to increase the reproduction of bacteria. The study's authors said that most of the bacteria must already have been present in the deeper skins. The dark warm conditions while wearing headphones just encouraged some of them to come out and play. Furthermore, there are no signs that these bacteria can cause any harm. A 2002 study of call centre workers in Malaysia found no connections between headphone use and the illness in the ear.
The bacteria that increase in your ear while you listen to music are the ones that live there normally, and your ear is able to deal with them. However, several studies have suggested that repeatedly putting on and taking off headphones may increase the risk of skin abrasions (擦伤) that allow harmful bacteria to get in and cause illnesses.
32. What does the underlined word "inviting" in the first paragraph mean
A. Equal. B. Deadly. C. Attractive. D. Confusing.
33. Why does the author mention the 2002 study
A. To show a lifestyle. B. To support a view.
C. To raise a question. D. To present a product.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Improper use of headphones harms health. B. Listening to music makes us less focused.
C. We can kill harmful bacteria completely. D. Researchers haven't finished the studies.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Proper Ways to Get Free from Bacteria B. Doctors Can Treat an Illness in the Ear
C. Causes of the Rising Number of Bacteria D. Concerns about Bacteria on Headphones

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Feynman Technique (费曼学习法) is a powerful method that you can use to learn anything faster because it forces you to, actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else talk about it. You can take the following five simple steps to study better.
·Find out the topic you want to learn. 36 . Otherwise, you'll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
·Explain the topic as if teaching a sixth-grader. This step is the heart of the Feynman Technique— 37 . This requires you to meet the child at his level of understanding by using the simplest way.
·Identify areas of improvement in your explanation. You'll need to critically (批判性地) review the explanation you came up with in Step Two. 38 . Try to find any knowledge gaps, together with any areas where you felt that you couldn't explain the topic simply.
·Improve and optimize (优化) your explanation. Think about all the knowledge gaps and other areas of improvement you found before. 39 .
·Repeat the steps until you've achieved mastery of the topic. Keep going through each step until you're fully satisfied with your explanation. 40 , and that is why going through all the prior steps just once is usually not enough to achieve topic mastery.
A. Use those to improve your explanation
B. To do so, take a critical look at your explanation
C. Make sure that your explanation is interest-based
D. Your explanations need to be short and to the point
E. The Feynman Technique works best with a repeat
F. It's important that you clearly know the topics you're trying to learn
G. Explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student

W: Hello. This is FM98.6. It's been another warm and fine day for most of us. Temperatures in southeast England reached 26 ℃ by mid-afternoon, and Brighton had fifteen hours of lovely sunshine. But the weather is already beginning to change, I'm afraid, and during the night showers will slowly move in from the Atlantic and reach southwest England by early morning. The rest of the country will have a very mild, dry night with temperatures no lower than fifteen degrees in the south, a little cooler-eleven degrees or so-in the north. And now, let's move on to the weather forecast for Friday and the weekend. Well, southern Europe will once again get the best of the weekend weather. Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of the weekend and temperatures will drop to seventeen degrees. Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but mainly dry with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out, temperatures could rise up to twenty-three degrees.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Jocy,
How is everything going with you recently I plan to climb Zijin Mountain at 8:00 this Sunday morning. I'd like to invite you to go with me.
In the mountain, there is a large underwater world, where we can enjoy over 200 species of marine animals. If you are interested in plants, we can also enter the beautiful botanical garden lying there. The temperature will be high on Sunday. Remember to take some water and wear comfortable sneakers. Also, a sun hat, or applying some suncream, is important before you set off.
I am sure we'll have a good time. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
June began in the corner where her desk was. Her shoe was not in the pile of papers on the desk, so she looked under her desk. Instead of finding her shoe, she found her lost class photo. Next, June walked along the wall. No shoe. She turned along the next wall. There were lots of clothes, but no shoe. Along the third wall was June's bed. She looked under her bed. There she found something behind a dust-covered book. She pulled the book toward her, and reached as far as she could to catch it. "My shoe!" she shouted excitedly.
June quickly put on her shoe and ran out of the door to Grandpa's house. "This time I have a story to tell," June thought happily. When she arrived at her grandpa's house, Grandpa handed her an ice cream and wasabout to tell a story. "Stop," June mysteriously said. Then, she whispered to her grandpa's ear, and said she would tell Grandpa a story today. Grandpa enjoyed the moment of June's story which happened this morning and the sweetness of ice cream. After June's story, Grandpa smiled and said, "You will do a greater job, if you can keep your room in order." June promised to do so later.
