(2024·河北沧州期末联考)An associate university professor in Florida has completed his research mission and set a new world record in the process:living 100 days beneath the ocean's surface.
On Friday morning,Dr.Joseph Dituri felt the sun's rays for the first time since he began the project 22 feet below the waters of Key Largo,Florida,on March 1.
Dituri,55,a biomedical engineer who teaches at the University of South Florida and calls himself “Dr.Deep Sea”,spent just over three months at the bottom of the Emerald Lagoon in Jules' Undersea Lodge,the only underwater hotel in the United States.
The research project,Project Neptune 100,was organized by the Key Largobased Marine Resources Development Foundation and focused on ocean conservation research and studying how high pressure affects the human body.
The US Navy veteran said he'd noticed one impact:The water pressure seems to have shrunken his height by half an inch.Dituri stood at 6 feet 1 inch tall before starting his mission,the University of South Florida stated in a news release.
The scientist began the project with a belief that increased pressure could help humans live longer and prevent agingrelated diseases,the news release said.Dituri said he hopes his underwater research will benefit the treatment of a variety of illnesses,including traumatic brain injuries.
Dituri also used the project as an educational experience for the youth.“We have interacted with thousands of school children to get them interested in science,technology,engineering and math,”Dituri told Guinness World Records on June 8.While underwater,he continued teaching his college students virtually.
Dituri broke the Guinness World Record for longest time living underwater at the 74day mark of his project,on May 13.The previous record stood at 73 days,two hours and 34 minutes,set at the same location at Dituri's successful attempt.
4.When did Dr.Joseph Dituri probably return to the surface?
A.On March 1. B.On May 13.
C.On June 9. D.On June 19.
5.Why did Dr.Joseph Dituri take part in the project?
A.To challenge his limits.
B.To encourage good teamwork.
C.For scientific research.
D.For personal enthusiasm.
6.What did Dr.Joseph Dituri expect of living underwater?
A.It's beneficial to human health.
B.It does harm to human body.
C.It's a very painful experience.
D.It's the same as living on land.
7.What would be the most suitable title for the text?
A.What Is Living Underwater Really Like?
B.Can Humans Live Underwater for 100 Days?
C.“Dr.Deep Sea” Interacts with Children Underwater
D.“Dr.Deep Sea” Breaks Record for Living Underwater

(2024·福建厦门一模)Imagine being able to use energy from the sun all the time,even when it's night.That's the idea that scientists at Caltech (California Institute of Technology) are exploring.They're working on collecting sunlight in space and sending its energy to Earth.
Caltech's scientists have created a special tool for this project.They call it MAPLE.MAPLE and two other devices are part of a project that was sent into space in January,2023.MAPLE's job is to test the idea of sending energy wirelessly from space to Earth.We're used to using wires to move electrical energy from one place to another.But sending energy without wires is a lot trickier.
The method used by Caltech's scientists depends on the way waves act when they meet.Imagine two waves coming together as they travel in the same direction.If the tops of the waves line up,they combine to make a bigger wave.But if the top of one wave lines up with the low point of the other,the waves cancel each other out.The Caltech team has found a way to control the timing of lots of microwaves so that they can combine their power,and focus the energy in one direction.It's a little like using a magnifying(放大的)glass to focus sunlight into a small,hot point of light.
To prove that the system could work,MAPLE sent energy to two devices just 30 centimeters away in space.This energy was then turned into electricity,which made two small lights light up.Next,MAPLE sent energy all the way down to a lab at Caltech.The scientists were able to detect the energy,proving that it's possible to send solar energy to Earth from space.
Dr.Hajimiri,one of the project's leaders,thinks that one day,the system could be extremely useful,bringing energy to places that need it,all over the world.He believes that in the future,we'll be able to send energy to remote regions and areas destroyed by war or natural disaster.
8.What is the challenge in Caltech's project with MAPLE?
A.Solar energy detection.
B.Wireless energy delivery.
C.Sending devices into space.
D.Using wires to move electricity.
9.How does the Caltech team concentrate solar power?
A.By changing the way microwaves act.
B.By magnifying waves coming together.
C.By controlling the timing of microwaves.
D.By lining up the waves in opposite directions.
10.What potential benefit could the system bring in the future according to Dr.Hajimiri?
A.Warning people of natural disasters.
B.Turning solar energy into electricity.
C.Providing a solution to energy shortages.
D.Sending energy to regions in urgent need.
11.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Use of Solar Energy in Space Exploration
B.The Challenges of Generating Energy Without Wires
C.The Development of a New Tool for Collecting Electricity
D.The Possibility of Sending Energy Wirelessly from Space to Earth

9.C [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Caltech team has found a way to control the timing of lots of microwaves ...in one direction.”可知,加州理工学院的团队通过控制微波的时间来集中太阳能。故选C。
10.D [解析]细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,据Hajimiri博士的说法,在未来这个系统会向急需能量的地区输送能量。故选D。
11.D [解析]标题概括题。根据第一段以及纵观全文可知,文章主要讨论了加州理工学院的科学家开发的特殊装置MAPLE具有从太空向地球无线传输能量的可能性,所以D项“从太空向地球无线传输能量的可能性”适合作为本文的标题。故选D。
