You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone, and well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and you are back on the phone. Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation (情况) could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria (细菌) battery”. This kind of battery gets its power from bacteria that eat sugar and turn it into electricity. “This is a special organism (有机体) ,” Lovely said. “You can get enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful (一勺) of sugar.” In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient (有效率的) bacterium that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage. The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It is also cheap and stable (稳定的) , because sugar can be taken from waste and crops. But the sugar-to-electricity process (过程) is not satisfactory as it could take weeks for the bacteria to change a cup of sugar into electricity. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment. The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovely. “Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.” He also believes the battery will be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Ocher’s ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in the countryside. 16．What’s the passage mainly about? A．An effective way to repair the mobile phone. B．A scientific invention of a new type of battery. C．A clean energy to reduce the carbon dioxide. D．A new kind of mobile phone and its future. 17．Which of the following is NOT the advantage (优点) of the newly-developed battery? A．Convenient. B．Stable. C．Inexpensive. D．Quick. 18．Which of the following are the scientists working on to improve the new battery? A．Increase the bacteria. B．Solve the pollution problem. C．Bring down the price. D．Change the size of the battery. 19．What does the underlined sentence actually mean? A．The bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy. B．Scientists will continue their work until they find solar power. C．There is still much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery. D．The bacteria battery will be as popular as solar power in twenty or thirty years. 20．According to the last paragraph, who will find the bacteria battery less useful? A．Divers. B．Farmers. C．Doctors. D．Cooks. 【答案】16．B 17．D 18．B 19．C 20．D 【导语】本文主要讲了一种新发明“细菌电池”，这种电池的能量从吃糖的细菌中获取并将其转化为电能，并具体介绍了这种电池的优缺点。 16．主旨大意题。通读全文，主要讲了Swadesh Chaudhuri和Derek Lovely发明了一种新型“细菌电池”，这种电池的能量从吃糖的细菌中获取并将其转化为电能，并具体介绍了这种电池的优缺点。故选B。 17．细节理解题。根据“The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It is also cheap and stable”可知，这种电池便利，便宜且稳定；通过“But the sugar-to-electricity process is not satisfactory”，可知糖电转换过程很慢。故选D。 18．推理判断题。根据“it could take weeks for the bacteria to change a cup of sugar into electricity. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment.”可知，糖电转换过程很慢以及产生污染环境的“温室”气体，因此可推知，B选项“解决污染问题。”应是科学家们致力于提高的方面。故选B。 19．推理判断题。根据“Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.”可知，此处说我们现在的情况是20年或30年前太阳能的情况，太阳能技术在二三十年前也是效率不高并且弊端很多，而现在太阳能技术已经很普及了，说明这种新型电池有很大的提升空间。故选C。 20．推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，电池将用于海底的科学设备，其他的想法包括使用血液中的糖来运行人体内的医疗设备，以及从动物提取糖，为农村地区的家庭提供能源。通过选项可知，潜水员，农民和医生都会用上这种电池；而厨师有可能认为电池没那么有用。故选D。 C Anne M.

It has already been a group where students try out new things, find out what works, and what’s exciting for kids. It has also given some students ideas about their future jobs. Owen Brennan is one of the club members. He said, “I think a lot of students probably didn’t notice that they were interested in computers and learning about technology.

For the first time in the history of modern Olympics, the Games’ opening ceremony was moved out of a stadium and took place in the heart of the host city, with the Seine as the main backdrop, making the celebrations and artistic performances accessible to many more people than the traditional stadium crowd. The Games’ First Gold Medal China’s sharp-shooting duo Sheng Lihao and Huang Yuting delivered under pressure to win the first gold medal up for grabs at the Paris Olympics by winning the 10m air rifle mixed team final on July 27, 2024. With all eyes on their young faces and huge pressure on their shoulders, the teen pair of Sheng, 19, and Huang, 17, outgunned (胜过) South Korean rivals by scoring 16-12 in the high-stakes final to claim the Games’ first gold medal at the south of Paris. ★ With the development of the times, many things are being innovated (革新), so are the Olympic Games. Four new events, which are too popular among young people, namely skateboarding, rock climbing, surfing and breakdancing, have been added to the 2024 Paris Olympics. The new idea has fitted with its goal of making the Olympics “gender-balanced, more youth-focused and more urban.” Among the four, breakdancing is entering the Olympic arena for the first time. In the future, many more sports may be included in Olympic events, such as parkour, which has many young enthusiasts around the world. 11．In which SECTION of the website can we read the news? A．PEOPLE. B．HEALTH. C．CULTURE. D．SPORTS. 12．The biggest highlight (亮点) of the Paris Olympics is ______. A．pioneering an outdoor opening ceremony B．developing the traditional breakdancing C．inventing one new event for the Olympics D．creating new world records for the Games 13．China’s sharp-shooting duo Sheng and Huang ______. A．were beaten by South Korean rivals B．won 100m air rifle mixed team final C．took on much pressure from family D．achieved the Games’ first gold medal 14．The best heading for the third piece of news would be ★ . A．The Development Of Times B．New Events Including Parkour C．More Youth-Focused Games D．The First Pairs Olympic Arena 15．What do the three pieces of news have in common? A．They happened at one Olympic arena B．They showed “the first” of the Games. C．They’ve made many affairs innovated. D．They told us who created the new idea B Imagine that the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone, and well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and you are back on the phone. Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation (情况) could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria (细菌) battery”. This kind of battery gets its power from bacteria that eat sugar and turn it into electricity. “This is a special organism (有机体) ,” Lovely said. “You can get enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful (一勺) of sugar.” In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient (有效率的) bacterium that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage. The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It is also cheap and stable (稳定的) , because sugar can be taken from waste and crops. But the sugar-to-electricity process (过程) is not satisfactory as it could take weeks for the bacteria to change a cup of sugar into electricity. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment. The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovely. “Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.” He also believes the battery will be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Ocher’s ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in the countryside. 16．What’s the passage mainly about? A．An effective way to repair the mobile phone. B．A scientific invention of a new type of battery. C．A clean energy to reduce the carbon dioxide. D．A new kind of mobile phone and its future. 17．Which of the following is NOT the advantage (优点) of the newly-developed battery? A．Convenient. B．Stable. C．Inexpensive. D．Quick. 18．Which of the following are the scientists working on to improve the new battery? A．Increase the bacteria. B．Solve the pollution problem. C．Bring down the price. D．Change the size of the battery. 19．What does the underlined sentence actually mean? A．The bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy. B．Scientists will continue their work until they find solar power. C．There is still much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery. D．The bacteria battery will be as popular as solar power in twenty or thirty years. 20．According to the last paragraph, who will find the bacteria battery less useful? A．Divers. B．Farmers. C．Doctors. D．Cooks. C Anne M. Dorner Middle School is in New York, America. There is a special club in the school library called the Genius Bar. It is an IT help desk run by some students. These students can fix (修理) computers and even give teachers help in using technology. Now there are more than 20 students in the club.
