【解析】
【原文】W: Everyone has a natural sleep routine. We go to bed and wake up at a certain time. But everyone’s routine is not the same. Some people, early birds, go to bed early at night(around9: 30 pm). In the morning, they wake up easily and are energetic. Others, night owls, stay awake until midnight or later. For them, it is difficult to wake up early. If they get up early, they will feel tired easily. What do we know about early birds and night owls Here is what studies show. Teenagers are natural night owls. However, most of them need nine to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in many places, they have to get up before 8: 00 am. For this reason, only one in five teenagers can sleep enough. More early birds get good grades at school, but night owls do better on some intelligence tests, according to a study of 1,000Spanish teens. People with high scores on these tests usually get good jobs.

A
If you’re looking to lose weight or maintain healthy weight levels, it is important to include oatmeal (燕麦片) in your diet. It is highly nutritious, contains the best kind of complex carbs (碳水化合物), and is high in fiber. Let’s learn something about it.
Why is oatmeal effective for losing weight
●First and foremost, oatmeal is a perfect source of fiber, which is essential if you’re looking to lose weight. Simply put, including more fiber into your daily diet is the easiest way to drop those pounds. Why Fiber makes you feel full in addition to digesting slowly, and so you eat less.
●Another factor is that oatmeal has a zero sugar index, meaning your body won’t need to produce the extra insulin (胰岛素) that transfers sugar into stored fat. It goes without saying that if you have less stored fat to begin with, you are going to weigh less.
Which kind of oatmeal is best
If your goal is to lose weight, you should be aware that not all oatmeal is the same. The four most common types are steel-cut oatmeal, rolled oatmeal, quick oatmeal and instant oatmeal.
●Steel-cut oatmeal: It contains the most fiber and has the lowest blood sugar index. It is unprocessed and has a nuttier flavor than the other two whereas quick oatmeal has the mildest flavor.
●Rolled and quick oatmeal: They are nearly as good, so ultimately the decision is mostly about taste preference.
●Instant oatmeal: It contains added sugar and is highly processed, so you end up with none of the health benefits but with all of the things you shouldn’t be eating if you want to lose weight.
Although reducing your calorie intake and eating the right foods is important, any weight loss program should also include exercise so that you don’t lose muscle mass.
21. Who is the text mainly intended for
A. People wanting to be quickly recharged.
B. People longing to keep healthy weight levels.
C. People who are eager to prepare quick breakfast.
D. People who prefer to gain weight rather than lose weight.
22. Which oatmeal should be avoided for dieters according to the text
A. Steel-cut oatmeal. B. Rolled oatmeal. C. Instant oatmeal. D. Quick oatmeal.
23. What can we learn from the text
A. Oatmeal is a high-calorie food.
B. Doctors can’t help you make any change.
C. All kinds of oatmeal have à weight loss effect.
D. A proper diet and exercise will help you lose weight.
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D
【解析】

George Picariello was incredibly emotional as he received his diploma from Needham High School on Wednesday, nearly eight decades after he was sent to hospital for burn treatment in an attempt to save a little girl trapped in a burning house.
Picariello had just turned 18 in March 1944 when he left Needham High School a few months before graduation for his injury. He later welcomed a large family, including three children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
But despite all of his later accomplishments as a police. Picariello felt he was still missing a major one: earning his high school diploma. “It’s been a bucket list item, most recently in the last few years,” his son, Michael said.
Wanting to make it happen, Picariello’s longtime friend, Albert Mercuri, recently reached out to Needham Public Schools and asked if getting his diplom a would still be a possibility. The district instantly agreed and on Wednesday. it finally happened.
In a moving ceremony at Needham High School, which was attended by Picariello’s friends and family, Superintendent Daniel Gutekanst and Principal Aaron Sicotte presented him with his diploma.
“We’re really honored that 77 years later, George, we can present you with a lifetime learning diploma,” Gutekanst said. “Representing not only your time at Needham HighSchool, but a life well lived with an amazing family and, obviously, so many friends and colleagues.”
With his diploma now in his possession, Picariello says he plans to frame it so he’ll be able to see it every day. He also jokes that he’s now focused on the next step of his educational journey.

As Christmas approaches and Christmas trees come down, Earthwatch offers the opportunity to sponsor the planting of a new tree with the Tiny Forest initiative.
Earthwatch Europe’s Tiny Forest initiative is devoted to increasing biodiversity and enabling people to reconnect with nature through citizen science. Since planting the first forest in 2020, the movement has grown to almost 150 forests, resulting in increased biodiversity and carbon storage.
There have been some reports to suggest that when poorly planned or managed, planting trees can actually do more harm than good. This can happen when trees are being planted with the express purpose of carbon storage to offset (抵消) carbon emissions by, for example, big companies—the trees planted for this purpose aren’t always native species. The planting of nonnative trees can lead to monocultures (单种栽培) that cannot support life.
Biodiversity needs to be a key consideration for reforestation, but this doesn’t offer the financial return s of planting for carbon storage or timber (木材) markets, so it can often fall by the wayside.
It is estimated that 50-60 million Christmas trees are produced and cut in Europe annually. In the run-up to Christmas, Earthwatch’s Sponsor a Sapling campaign offers the chance to sponsor the planting of a tree for 8.
Josh Kubale, Senior Communications Manager at Earthwatch, says, “We’re delighted with the Tiny Forest Sponsor a Sapling campaign, which will help people engage with what we’re doing at Tiny Forest and gives the option of an alternative and environmentally conscious Christmas present, As well as being a great Christmas gift, the campaign will help to fun d Earthwatch’s work across all our programmes. We’ve now planted 160 Tiny Forests and as we celebrate our third anniversary, we hope to plant many more!”
28. What is Earthwatch Europe’s Tiny Forest initiative aimed to do
A. Motivate economy. B. Connect with people.
C. Enlarge biodiversity. D. Reduce carbon emission.
29. How can we make planting trees more beneficial
A. By increasing more investments in plants.
B. By planting more nonnative trees.
C. By raising the awareness of the environment.
D. By improving planning and management.
30. Why does biodiversity fall by the wayside
A. Because it is lack of economic benefit.
B. Because it is short of key consideration.
C. Because there is no support from the public.
D. Because the timber market is oversupplied.
31. What may Josh Kubale expect the public to do at the coming Christmas
A. Choose a Christmas gift. B. Participate in Tiny Forest.
C. Celebrate their third anniversary. D. Donate to their programmes.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。地球观察组织正在英国发起植树活动以保护生物多样性。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Earthwatch Europe’s Tiny Forest initiative is devoted to increasing biodiversity and enabling people to reconnect with nature through citizen science. Since planting the first forest in 2020, the movement has grown to almost 150 forests, resulting in increased biodiversity and carbon storage.(地球观察组织欧洲区的Tiny Forest计划致力于增加生物多样性，并使人们能够通过公民科学与自然重新建立联系。自2020年种植第一片森林以来，该运动已发展到近150片森林，从而增加了生物多样性和碳储量)”可知，地球观察组织欧洲区的Tiny Forest计划的目的是扩大生物多样性。故选C项，
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“There have been some reports to suggest that when poorly planned or managed, planting trees can actually do more harm than good.(有一些报告表明，如果计划或管理不善，植树实际上弊大于利)”可知，一些报告表明，如果计划不当或管理不善，植树实际上弊大于利。因此推知，想要让植树造林更有益处，必须改进计划和加强管理。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Biodiversity needs to be a key consideration for reforestation, but this doesn’t offer the financial return s of planting for carbon storage or timber (木材) markets, so it can often fall by the wayside.(生物多样性需要成为重新造林的一个关键考虑因素，但这并没有为碳储存或木材市场提供种植的经济回报，因此它经常被搁置一边)”可知，增加生物多样性需要成为重新造林的一个关键考虑因素，但这并不能为碳储存或木材市场提供经济回报，因此它往往会半途而废。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Josh Kubale, Senior Communications Manager at Earthwatch, says, “We’re delighted with the Tiny Forest Sponsor a Sapling campaign, which will help people engage with what we’re doing at Tiny Forest and gives the option of an alternative and environmentally conscious Christmas present, As well as being a great Christmas gift, the campaign will help to fun d Earthwatch’s work across all our programmes.

An increase in the efficiency of solar panels may be on the way, as research from the Australian National University (ANU) reduces their current limitations. ANU researchers have found a way to improve the performance of silicon photovoltaic (PV)(硅光伏) or solar cells. This is done through the addition of “passivating (钝化) contacts” between the metal and silicon parts of the solar cell, making it more productive.
“These findings will help push the performance of silicon solar cells closer to their theoretical limit.” Mohamed Ismael, lead ANU researcher and PhD candidate said. “Each day, the sun produces significantly more energy than needed to power the whole planet. The only limitation is our ability to economically convert it to electricity,” he said.
Solar cells are devices that convert light energy in the form of photos into electrical energy. As it stands, solar cells aren’t operating at their maximum capacity due to considerable electrical losses associated with the direct contact of metals with silicon.
“Transition metal oxides such as titanium oxide (二氧化钛) have many qualities that make them ideal as passivating contact layers,” Dr Lachlan Black said. “This isn’t a new idea, but the way in which we combined these layers has produced better results and higher operating voltages than anything previously reported.”
The research team is hoping to develop the technology to a point where it can be applied to industrial solar cells on a large scale. The PV market is a multi-billion-dollar industry, with silicon solar cells contributing to 95 percent of all commercial solar cells. They are predicted to remain dominant for the foreseeable future given their advantageous properties compared to competitors.
“If successful, we could see our technology in almost all new solar panels installed on your roof or utility-scale solar plants,” Dr Black said. “Improving the efficiency of solar cells guarantees more clean energy at a reduced cost. This not only helps to address climate change, but opens up new economic opportunities for this low-cost clean energy.”
32. What is the function of addition of “passivating contacts”
A. Making solar cells long-lasting. B. Improving the lifetime of solar cells.
C. Pushing solar cells to the future. D. Promoting the performance of solar cells.
33. What does the underlined word “convert” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Switch. B. Revise. C. Convey. D. Explore.
34. What is Lachlan Black’s attitude to the technology
A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Negative.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. New solar panels installed on your roof
B. Shining new light on solar cells’ development
C. Applying industrial solar cells on a large scale
D. Electrical loss in metal direct contact with silicon
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是澳大利亚国立大学的研究人员发现了一种提高硅光伏或太阳能电池性能的方法，这将有助于提高太阳能电池的效率。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“ANU researchers have found a way to improve the performance of silicon photovoltaic (PV)(硅光伏) or solar cells. This is done through the addition of “passivating (钝化) contacts” between the metal and silicon parts of the solar cell, making it more productive.(澳大利亚国立大学的研究人员已经找到了一种提高硅光伏或太阳能电池性能的方法。这是通过在太阳能电池的金属和硅部分之间添加“钝化接触”来实现的，使其更有效率。)”可知，添加“钝化接触”的作用是提高太阳能电池的性能。故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Each day, the sun produces significantly more energy than needed to power the whole planet(太阳每天产生的能量远远超过了整个地球所需的能量)”，“The only limitation is our ability to(唯一的限制是我们……的能力)”和“electricity(电)”可知，太阳每天会产生很多的能量，唯一的限制是我们是否能将能量转换成电，划线词convert意为“转换”，与 switch同义。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Improving the efficiency of solar cells guarantees more clean energy at a reduced cost. This not only helps to address climate change, but opens up new economic opportunities for this low-cost clean energy.(提高太阳能电池的效率可以保证以更低的成本获得更多的清洁能源。这不仅有助于应对气候变化，而且为这种低成本的清洁能源开辟了新的经济机会。)”可知，他对该技术满怀希望。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“ANU researchers have found a way to improve the performance of silicon photovoltaic (PV)(硅光伏) or solar cells. This is done through the addition of “passivating (钝化) contacts” between the metal and silicon parts of the solar cell, making it more productive.(澳大利亚国立大学的研究人员已经找到了一种提高硅光伏或太阳能电池性能的方法。这是通过在太阳能电池的金属和硅部分之间添加“钝化接触”来实现的，使其更有效率。)”可知，本文主要讲的是澳大利亚国立大学的研究人员发现了一种提高硅光伏或太阳能电池性能的方法，这将有助于提高太阳能电池的效率，因此最好的题目是B选项“Shining new light on solar cells’ development(为太阳能电池的发展带来新的曙光)”，故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何让锻炼成为一个能坚持的习惯。
【36题详解】
根据前文“There’s a reason why so many New Year’s resolutions to get in shape crash and burn before February rolls around. And it’s not that you simply don’t have what it takes.(为什么这么多的新年减肥计划在2月到来之前就失败了，这是有原因的。这并不是说你不具备成功的条件)”以及后文“Follow these steps to make exercise one of them.(遵循以下步骤，让锻炼成为其中之一)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，由讲述你具备成功的条件，过渡到开始讲方法，所以F项“Science shows us that there’s a right way to build habits that last.(科学告诉我们，有一种正确的方法可以培养持久的习惯)”符合文意，起到过渡作用。故选F项。
【37题详解】
根据前文“Remove obstacles.(移除障碍)”以及后文“Do you tend to run out of time in the morning Get your workout clothes out the night before so you’re ready to go as soon as you get up. Do you skip your evening workout if you go home first Keep a gym bag in the car, so you can head out straight from work.(你是不是经常在早上没时间了 前一天晚上把你的运动服拿出来，这样你一起床就准备好了。如果你先回家，你会跳过晚上的锻炼吗 在车里放一个健身包，这样你就可以直接下班就去了)”可知，E项“Plan ahead for anything that might get in the way of exercising.(提前计划好任何可能妨碍锻炼的事情)”是对前文的进一步说明，并引出后文具体事例。故选E项。
【38题详解】
分析设空，位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“A goal of exercising for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week may sound good. But how likely are you to follow through The more ambitious your goal is, the more likely you are to fail, feel bad about it and give up. So, it’s better to start with easy exercise goals you know you can achieve.(每天锻炼30分钟，每周锻炼5次的目标听起来不错。但是你坚持到底的可能性有多大呢 你的目标越远大，你就越有可能失败，越有可能为此感到难过，越有可能放弃。所以，最好从你知道你能实现的简单运动目标开始)”可知，本段主要介绍从能实现的简单运动目标开始锻炼，所以B项“Start small and build motivation.(从小事做起，建立动力)”是本段的中心句。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据前文“People who exercise regularly tend to do so because of the rewards it brings to their lives, such as more energy, better sleep, and a greater sense of well-being.(经常锻炼的人倾向于这样做，因为它给他们的生活带来了回报，比如更多的精力、更好的睡眠和更大的幸福感)”以及后文“When you’re starting an exercise program, it’s important to give yourself immediate rewards when you successfully complete a workout or reach a new fitness goal.(当你开始一项锻炼计划时，当你成功完成锻炼或达到一个新的健身目标时，给自己立即奖励是很重要的)”可知，本段主要讲述给自己奖励，所以C项“However, these tend to be long-term rewards.(然而，这些往往是长期奖励)”符合本段主题，承接上文，并引出下文，其中rewards为同词复现。故选C项。
【40题详解】
分析设空，位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Choose activities that make you feel happy and confident. If your workout is unpleasant or makes you feel clumsy or inept. you’re unlikely to stick with it. Don’t choose activities like running or lifting weights at the gym just because you think that’s what you should do.(选择让你感到快乐和自信的活动。如果你的锻炼不愉快，或者让你感到笨拙或无能。你不太可能坚持下去。不要仅仅因为你认为你应该去健身房跑步或举重而选择这些活动)”可知，D项“Instead, pick activities that fit your lifestyle, abilities, and taste.(相反，选择适合你的生活方式、能力和品味的活动)”符合本段主题，是对前文的总结。故选D项。

It was a brand new model with all the latest features in it. I was the happiest person in the world that day. I had hugged my parents tight and was jumping with joy. It was the most useful thing I had with me at that moment.
My cycle was a limited edition arrival. It had all the latest features like enhanced brakes, improved gears, indicators, a bottle holder, a horn instead of a bell and enhanced better gripping types. It looked flashy and colourful. The rim of the cycle was painted in dark green and the other parts were in shades of yellow and blue in patterns. It was the centre of attraction when it was delivered at my house and all of my friends stared at it with wide eyes. Each one of them wanted a ride on the cycle. I said I would allow everyone to ride it but only after I rode it first.
I rode the cycle every day to school and back home. Since it had improved gears, it took me very less time to cover the distance between home and school and vice-versa. I also took the cycle to my tuition. Wherever I used to park the cycle, the students would start staring at it because of its attractive color. I rode the cycle for all the purposes. Even if I had to run errands (跑腿) from shops very near to our house, I would take the cycle for the unmixed fun of it. As a result, I successfully quitted computer games and lost much weight. forming a health living habit. My fondness for the cycle grew so much that I used to wash and clean it every day for thirty minutes in the morning. I never allowed anyone to ride the cycle.

Since the ground was a bit rugged, it was very scary because one small mistake and we could go rolling on our backs.
Just then something went wrong. Suddenly two of my friends tripped upon a few stones and fell off their cycles. I panicked and accidentally turned my handle. I was headed straight for a tree when I applied the brakes as hard as I could. To my astonishment, the cycle had stopped just a few centimetres from the trunk of the tree because of the enhanced brakes. My friends were hurt while I escaped any injury. What an unforgettable experience! And it reminded me that I should be careful next time.

If you’re looking to lose weight or maintain healthy weight levels, it is important to include oatmeal (燕麦片) in your diet. It is highly nutritious, contains the best kind of complex carbs (碳水化合物), and is high in fiber. Let’s learn something about it.
Why is oatmeal effective for losing weight
●First and foremost, oatmeal is a perfect source of fiber, which is essential if you’re looking to lose weight. Simply put, including more fiber into your daily diet is the easiest way to drop those pounds. Why Fiber makes you feel full in addition to digesting slowly, and so you eat less.
●Another factor is that oatmeal has a zero sugar index, meaning your body won’t need to produce the extra insulin (胰岛素) that transfers sugar into stored fat. It goes without saying that if you have less stored fat to begin with, you are going to weigh less.
Which kind of oatmeal is best
If your goal is to lose weight, you should be aware that not all oatmeal is the same. The four most common types are steel-cut oatmeal, rolled oatmeal, quick oatmeal and instant oatmeal.
●Steel-cut oatmeal: It contains the most fiber and has the lowest blood sugar index. It is unprocessed and has a nuttier flavor than the other two whereas quick oatmeal has the mildest flavor.
●Rolled and quick oatmeal: They are nearly as good, so ultimately the decision is mostly about taste preference.
●Instant oatmeal: It contains added sugar and is highly processed, so you end up with none of the health benefits but with all of the things you shouldn’t be eating if you want to lose weight.
Although reducing your calorie intake and eating the right foods is important, any weight loss program should also include exercise so that you don’t lose muscle mass.
21. Who is the text mainly intended for
A. People wanting to be quickly recharged.
B. People longing to keep healthy weight levels.
C. People who are eager to prepare quick breakfast.
D. People who prefer to gain weight rather than lose weight.
22. Which oatmeal should be avoided for dieters according to the text
A. Steel-cut oatmeal. B. Rolled oatmeal. C. Instant oatmeal. D. Quick oatmeal.
23. What can we learn from the text
A. Oatmeal is a high-calorie food.
B. Doctors can’t help you make any change.
C. All kinds of oatmeal have à weight loss effect.
D. A proper diet and exercise will help you lose weight.

George Picariello was incredibly emotional as he received his diploma from Needham High School on Wednesday, nearly eight decades after he was sent to hospital for burn treatment in an attempt to save a little girl trapped in a burning house.
Picariello had just turned 18 in March 1944 when he left Needham High School a few months before graduation for his injury. He later welcomed a large family, including three children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
But despite all of his later accomplishments as a police. Picariello felt he was still missing a major one: earning his high school diploma. “It’s been a bucket list item, most recently in the last few years,” his son, Michael said.
Wanting to make it happen, Picariello’s longtime friend, Albert Mercuri, recently reached out to Needham Public Schools and asked if getting his diplom a would still be a possibility. The district instantly agreed and on Wednesday. it finally happened.
In a moving ceremony at Needham High School, which was attended by Picariello’s friends and family, Superintendent Daniel Gutekanst and Principal Aaron Sicotte presented him with his diploma.
“We’re really honored that 77 years later, George, we can present you with a lifetime learning diploma,” Gutekanst said. “Representing not only your time at Needham HighSchool, but a life well lived with an amazing family and, obviously, so many friends and colleagues.”
With his diploma now in his possession, Picariello says he plans to frame it so he’ll be able to see it every day. He also jokes that he’s now focused on the next step of his educational journey.

As Christmas approaches and Christmas trees come down Earthwatch offers the opportunity to sponsor the planting of a new tree with the Tiny Forest initiative.
Earthwatch Europe’s Tiny Forest initiative is devoted to increasing biodiversity and enabling people to reconnect with nature through citizen science. Since planting the first forest in 2020, the movement has grown to almost 150 forests, resulting in increased biodiversity and carbon storage.
There have been some reports to suggest that when poorly planned or managed, planting trees can actually do more harm than good. This can happen when trees are being planted with the express purpose of carbon storage to offset (抵消) carbon emissions by, for example, big companies—the trees planted for this purpose aren’t always native species. The planting of nonnative trees can lead to monocultures (单种栽培) that cannot support life.
Biodiversity needs to be a key consideration for reforestation, but this doesn’t offer the financial return s of planting for carbon storage or timber (木材) markets, so it can often fall by the wayside.
It is estimated that 50-60 million Christmas trees are produced and cut in Europe annually. In the run-up to Christmas, Earthwatch’s Sponsor a Sapling campaign offers the chance to sponsor the planting of a tree for 8.
Josh Kubale, Senior Communications Manager at Earthwatch, says, “We’re delighted with the Tiny Forest Sponsor a Sapling campaign, which will help people engage with what we’re doing at Tiny Forest and gives the option of an alternative and environmentally conscious Christmas present, As well as being a great Christmas gift, the campaign will help to fun d Earthwatch’s work across all our programmes. We’ve now planted 160 Tiny Forests and as we celebrate our third anniversary, we hope to plant many more!”
28. What is Earthwatch Europe’s Tiny Forest initiative aimed to do
A. Motivate economy. B. Connect with people.
C. Enlarge biodiversity. D. Reduce carbon emission.
29. How can we make planting trees more beneficial
A. By increasing more investments in plants.
B. By planting more nonnative trees.
C By raising the awareness of the environment.
D. By improving planning and management.
30. Why does biodiversity fall by the wayside
A. Because it is lack of economic benefit.
B. Because it is short of key consideration.
C. Because there is no support from the public.
D. Because the timber market is oversupplied.
31. What may Josh Kubale expect the public to do at the coming Christmas
A. Choose a Christmas gift. B. Participate in Tiny Forest.
C. Celebrate their third anniversary. D. Donate to their programmes.
D
An increase in the efficiency of solar panels may be on the way, as research from the Australian National University (ANU) reduces their current limitations. ANU researchers have found a way to improve the performance of silicon photovoltaic (PV)(硅光伏) or solar cells. This is done through the addition of “passivating (钝化) contacts” between the metal and silicon parts of the solar cell, making it more productive.
“These findings will help push the performance of silicon solar cells closer to their theoretical limit.” Mohamed Ismael, lead ANU researcher and PhD candidate said. “Each day, the sun produces significantly more energy than needed to power the whole planet. The only limitation is our ability to economically convert it to electricity,” he said.
Solar cells are devices that convert light energy in the form of photos into electrical energy. As it stands, solar cells aren’t operating at their maximum capacity due to considerable electrical losses associated with the direct contact of metals with silicon.
“Transition metal oxides such as titanium oxide (二氧化钛) have many qualities that make them ideal as passivating contact layers,” Dr Lachlan Black said. “This isn’t a new idea, but the way in which we combined these layers has produced better results and higher operating voltages than anything previously reported.”
The research team is hoping to develop the technology to a point where it can be applied to industrial solar cells on a large scale. The PV market is a multi-billion-dollar industry, with silicon solar cells contributing to 95 percent of all commercial solar cells. They are predicted to remain dominant for the foreseeable future given their advantageous properties compared to competitors.
“If successful, we could see our technology in almost all new solar panels installed on your roof or utility-scale solar plants,” Dr Black said. “Improving the efficiency of solar cells guarantees more clean energy at a reduced cost. This not only helps to address climate change, but opens up new economic opportunities for this low-cost clean energy.”
32. What is the function of addition of “passivating contacts”
A. Making solar cells long-lasting. B. Improving the lifetime of solar cells.
C. Pushing solar cells to the future. D. Promoting the performance of solar cells.
33. What does the underlined word “convert” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Switch. B. Revise. C. Convey. D. Explore.
34. What is Lachlan Black’s attitude to the technology
A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Negative.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. New solar panels installed on your roof
B. Shining new light on solar cells’ development
C. Applying industrial solar cells on a large scale
D. Electrical loss in metal direct contact with silicon

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My childhood was filled with fun and laughter, and I cherish those memories to this day. I still remember the excitement I felt when I got my first bicycle as a child.
My parents bought me a bicycle as my birthday gift when I was ten years old, hoping I can get more outdoor exercise and make more friends as I was then addicted to computer games and was getting more weight. It was a brand new model with all the latest features in it. I was the happiest person in the world that day. I had hugged my parents tight and was jumping with joy. It was the most useful thing I had with me at that moment.
My cycle was a limited edition arrival. It had all the latest features like enhanced brakes, improved gears, indicators, a bottle holder, a horn instead of a bell and enhanced better gripping types. It looked flashy and colourful. The rim of the cycle was painted in dark green and the other parts were in shades of yellow and blue in patterns. It was the centre of attraction when it was delivered at my house and all of my friends stared at it with wide eyes. Each one of them wanted a ride on the cycle. I said I would allow everyone to ride it but only after I rode it first.
I rode the cycle every day to school and back home. Since it had improved gears, it took me very less time to cover the distance between home and school and vice-versa. I also took the cycle to my tuition. Wherever I used to park the cycle, the students would start staring at it because of its attractive color. I rode the cycle for all the purposes. Even if I had to run errands (跑腿) from shops very near to our house, I would take the cycle for the unmixed fun of it. As a result, I successfully quitted computer games and lost much weight. forming a health living habit. My fondness for the cycle grew so much that I used to wash and clean it every day for thirty minutes in the morning. I never allowed anyone to ride the cycle.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I had once competed with my friends on riding speed.
