Students at Eindhoven University of Technology have been working on solar-powered cars for years.But last year,30 students,known as Solar Team Eindhoven,took a year off to work on developing an off-road solar-powered car. To bring a highly efficient()solar-powered car closer to reality,the team designed the entire car,from top to bottom.The car generated energy using the absorbed solar power from the solar panels()on top,which are 97%efficient.Most solar panels,by contrast,are only about 20% efficient,meaning a waste of about 80%of the sunlight they get.Weighing just 2,600 pounds,the car has a top speed of 90 miles per hour and can run for 440 miles on a sunny day.On the bottom,they designed a system to handle the heavy shaking that comes when driving over uneven surfaces. The landscape of the Netherlands limits the testing options available to the team,so they took the car on its biggest test drive across Morocco,where the car had to weather through forests and dry riverbeds,across loose desert sand and up challenging mountain paths.The car succeeded in doing all of this and all without ever stopping at a charging station. "It was an incredible trip with a positive ending.We're pushing the boundaries of technology," says Wisse Bos,the team manager.The team take pride in their car,but they won't be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas.In fact,they hope Stella Terra will inspire car companies to work on similar projects.But despite their success,the students think it'll take 5 to 10 years before car companies are able to build a similar car. 24.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.An Adventurous Trip. B.The Future of Electric Cars. C.Stella Terra:the First Eco-friendly Vehicle. D.Students Create Lasting'Solar-Powered Car. 25.What's the purpose of mentioning the data in paragraph 3? A.To highlight the development of cars. B.To explain the car's complex structure. C.To clarify problems with other solar panels. D.To demonstrate the car's good performance. 26.Why was Morocco chosen to do the major car testing? A.It's a thinly populated place. B.It enjoys a pleasant climate. C.Its landforms meet test requirements. D.It has convenient transportation. 高二年英语科试卷第4页/共11页 27.How did Wisse Bos sound about their car? A.Disturbed. B.Shocked. C.Excited. D.Awkward. C People flood into cities for understandable reasons:more job opportunities,more cultural diversity and larger communities.Yet living in a concrete-walled,green-poor,urban environment takes away from our-very essence our fundamental need to be close to nature.We can't quite break the link with our evolutionary()past and part ways with our origins.Surrounding ourselves with walls and screens,we tend to pay a price,often with our health and quality of life. In Japan,a populous country with vast expanses of green forests,an ancient tradition,known as shinrin-yoku,or forest bathing,tries to balance out the pressure from urban living.It's the practice of spending prolonged periods of time with trees to gain from their many health benefits.In a book hitting shelves this month,Forest Bathing:How Trees Can Help You Find Health and Happiness,Dr. Qing Li,the world's foremost expert in forest medicine,introduces readers to the valuable practice of forest bathing.The book features more than 100 color photographs of forests around the world.One may reject this kind of book as yet less convincing,but the point is that Li has not just practiced forest bathing,but has also studicd its impact on pcople's health through numcrous scicntific studics. He has data to support his claims,collected in a long list of expert-reviewed articles at the end of the book. The book lists studies that consistently show a substantial reduction of stress hormones )Essential tree oils found in forest air increase energy levels by more than 30 percent and improve a general state of well-being,including improvement in sleep. Scientific results apart,the concept of forest bathing shouldn't be so surprising.Who hasn't felt an inner sense of well-being when walking along a quiet forest path?Stepping into a forest,away from'the artificial sounds and smells of urban life,does feel like pushing a life reset button, reestablishing a connection with our deepest needs. To celebrate this wonderful book and what seems to be a rediscovery of forest bathing in our life,I'm going to go now-to take:my forest bath. 28.What is stressed in paragraph 1? A.The harm of electronics. B.The downside of city life. C.The consequences of lack of workout. D.The reasons for pursuit of urban living. 29.What's the book aimed at? A.Promoting a lifestyle. B.Presenting research results. C.Stating the significance of walks. D.Appealing for forest conservation. 高二年英语科试卷第5页/共11页 30.Which of the following can best describe Dr.Li's book? A.One-sided. B.Sharply worded. C.Evidence-based. D.Widely recognized. 31.How is the benefit of forest bathing further proved in paragraph 4? A.Through clinical cases. B.Through practical experience. C.Through official statistics. D.Through Japanese experts'studies. D When you have to cancel your Thanksgiving plans due to the spread of the COVID-19,you may find yourself craving companionship as much as that pumpkin pie.That's because parts of the brain respond to loneliness much like they react to hunger,according to a study in Nature Neuroscience. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology scanned the brains of 40 healthy, social young adults after 10 hours of either fasting (or social isolation )They found that aftor being alone,participants'neurological responses to social signals were similar to hungry people reacting to food-that is,certain areas of the brain linked to desire were turned on to start working. For an isolated person,a picture of people laughing together caused the same areas of the brain to light up as when a hungry person looked at a big plate of pasta. "Just like hunger is an unpleasant sensation that motivates us to seek out food and thirst motivates us to seek out water,loneliness is a biological need that motivates us to reconnect to others,"Holt-Lunstad told Insider. Researchers were surprised to find that people who were prevented from socializing became much more focused on that need,and less reactive to hunger.As their loneliness increased,they became less responsive to images of food. These latest findings suggest that the relationship between food and loneliness might be more complicated than we thought,despite the popular opinion of stress-eating to cope with social isolation.More research is needed to understand the complex ways people deal with loneliness. Studies like this can help scientists understand how the brain processes loneliness,and possibly reduce the negative consequences.However,although loneliness may be similar to hunger,fixing it isn't as easy as serving someone a hearty dinner because people are unique and they need varying levels of social interactions to meet their needs. 32.The underlined word"craving"in the first paragraph can be replaced by A.Avoiding. B.desiring. C.preferring. D.ignoring. 33.Researchers scanned the brains of the young adults A.to find their brain responses to both loneliness and hunger. B.to provide explanations for their feeling lonely and hungry. 高二年英语科试卷第6页/共11页 C.to find how loneliness can have a negative impact on health. D.after they have been hungry and socially isolated for 10 hours. 34.What conclusion can be drawn from what Holt-Lunstad said in Paragraph 4? A.Hunger is an unpleasant sensation. B.Hunger and thirst motivate us to feed ourselves. C.Socializing is supposed to be basic human need as it is. D.The effects of loneliness on health are comparable to other factors. 35.What does the last paragraph imply? A.Loneliness may be fixed just as hunger is satisfied. B.Situations of loneliness are complicated and hard to cope with. C.Scientists have understood how the brain processes loneliness. D.Loneliness is such a common and serious problem that we all have to suffer. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10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。 Life is a journey filled with lessons,hardships,heartaches,joys,celebrations and special moments that will eventually lead us to our destination,our purpose in life.The road will not always be smooth.36 Some of these challenges will test our courage,strengths,weaknesses,and faith.37 In order to follow the right path,we must overcome these obstacles().Sometimes these obstacles are really blessings(好事)in disguise(伪装)，only we don't realize that at the time.
