B Last Saturday,as my then-9-year-old son,Leopold,and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip.I came up with a rule:We would say yes to everything.Leopold is hesitant to try new things,and he has phobias(),including heights,spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a way to encourage him without resorting(诉诸于)to worn-out sayings like "If you don't try it,you'll never know if you like it."So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day,something our family has done a handful of times since watching the movie of the same name.Before the trip,Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything.including food and experiences-especially new ones. After we got settled at our hotel,I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor.While he was in snowboarding school,I skied by myself.On the first day,I played it safe and stuck to the long and winding easy green run.On the second day,I thought of Leopold,who,the day before,had kept to our bargain and faced his fear of heights to learn how to ride a chairlift.I challenged myself to ski,an intermediate blue.rn,diligent S-turns,and I made it.I was proud of myself for trying something new. Later that afternoon,when Leopold and I were reunited back at the lodge,he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub.When I started to refuse,Leopold kept to our agreement.But it was also exciting to feel the cold air on my skin,and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in.Getting out was a different story,but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together. We had so much fun saying yes to everything that Leopold and I decided we should get the rest of the family-his dad and sister-on board during our spring break trip. 24.What did the author expect to do through the mom-son ski trip? A.To learn ski skills B.To inspire her son. C.To give themselves a break. D.To establish a close bond. 25.What does "Yes Day"idea mean to the author and her son? 4 C.School uniform. D.Parent permission. 23.What does the project provide for volunteers? A.Training B.Long pants. C.Rain gear. D.Water bottles.

Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires compressing()it several hundred times.Transforming it into liquid state is another option,but one that requires cooling the stuff to-253C.Either process requires rugged tanks.Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals,weakening them and potentially causing cracks.Tanks must be built from special materials designed to resist this breakdown. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt,think that supplying hydrogen as goop ()offers a way around some of its limitations.They have been experimenting with a chemical compound that can be pumped into a container and then persuaded to give off its hydrogen on demand. Their invention,which they nickname "powerpaste",looks like toothpaste.Its man ingredient is magnesium hydride,a compound that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide.The escaped hydrogen can then be redirected into a fuel cell,where it reacts with oxygen from the air to generate electric power.The magnesium hydroxide waste is emptied from the reactor automatically. Dr.Vogt's scheme offers several advantages over batteries,petrol and more conventional ways of handling hydrogen.One is the storage of more energy than either batteries or petrol can manage.A second is ease of refilling,which is simply a matter of swapping an empty container of paste for a full one,and topping up the waten which is stored in a separate tank.A third advantage is that,unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf.Moreover, the paste itself is harmless,as are the reaction's by-products. But there are still more to work through.Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water.To overcome this,Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly accelerates the reaction.They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled precisely enough to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment. 28.Which of the following best explains"rugged"underlined in paragraph 1? A.Creative. B.Fragile. C.Tough. D.Enormous. 29.What can we know about the invention according to paragraph 3? A.Magnesium hydride mixed with water releases hydrogen. B.Several chemical reactions occur in the same tank. C.Water and electricity are necessary in the process. D.The remaining waste needs removing with extra help. 30.How is paragraph 4 mainly developed? A.By providing examples. B.By drawing comparisons. C.By quoting sayings. D.By explaining a concept. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Dream Fuel:Hydrogen Gas B.New Clean Energy C.Advantages of Hydrogen Goop D.“Toothpaste”in Your Tank D “A moth(飞蛾)to a flame”is often used to indicate an inescapable attraction,yet it is a strange example of animal behavior that continues to confuse people today. Scientists have raised a number of theories over the years to explain why.One holds that insects flying at night are following their nature to fly toward the brightest spot in their field of vision,which they mistake for the sky.Another suggests that insects are trying to warm themselves with the heat produced by the light.The most popular theory,though.is that insects are confusing lights with the moon or other celestial bodies()that they normally use to navigate. To find out the real reason,the team carried out a first set of experiments in an 6 insect flight area.The researchers used eight high-speed infrared (cameras equipped with motion-capture technologies to track 30 insects from three moth and two dragonfly species.They also flew lab-raised insects from six different insect orders that were too small for motion-capture technology,including fruit flies and honeybees,to make sure different insects all showed similar responses to light. Working with co-author Pablo Allen of the Council on International Educational Exchange in Monteverde,Costa Rica,the researchers put heavy cameras,lights and tripods in two field sites to gather behavioral data from insects in the wild. The team was able to confirm that insects were not beelining to the light but rather circling it as they tilted (in an attempt to turn their backs toward it.This behavior.known as a"dorsal light response",normally helps insects to remain in an unchanging path of flight that is properly lined to the horizon.Artificial light that arrives from a point source causes them to fly in unpredictable patterns as they try to turn their backs to what they are mistaking for the sky. Now research might have finally solved the mystery mentioned first:artificial light confuses insects'ability to turn themselves to the horizon,confusing their sense of what is up and down and causing them to fly in circles. 32.Which theory about a moth to a flame is accepted by most people? A.They follow their nature to fly. B.They are blind to artificial light. C.They mistake artificial light for celestial bodies. D.They are attracted by the warmth of artificial light. 33.What's the author's purpose in using the figures in paragraph 2? A.To show the study is comprehensive. B.To introduce the purpose of the study. C.To estimate the cost of the research. D.To stress the challenge faced by the researchers. 34.What does the underlined word"beelining"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Flying slowly.B.Sticking. C.Responding. D.Going straigh 35.What benefit can insects get from"dorsal light response"? A.They can fly beyond the horizon. B.They can follow a steady flight path. C.They can turn their backs toward lights. D.They can circle the light source upside down. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Humans have been searching for the fountain of youth.A scientist named Dr David proved last year that reversing the age of a cell is possible.36 It will allow us to live healthy lives for an extended period of time.Here are some ways you can improve your health today.
