The FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022. But the love for soccer is still very much alive and well in Zibo, Shandong Province. Zibo is called “the home of soccer ball”. It’s the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju. In 2004, cuju won the recognition of FIFA — soccer’s governing body — as the earliest form of soccer.
The Chinese character cu means to kick. Ju means an ancient type of leather ball. It has feathers (羽毛) or grain chaff (谷糠) inside. The ancient Chinese historical text Zhan Guo Ce says cuju was a form of amusement among common people. But during the Han Dynasty, soldiers played cuju for army training. During the Tang Dynasty, women played cuju at the royal court (朝廷) for the amusement of the emperors. It entered the golden age in the Song Dynasty when it became popular among every class. Yet, the 2,000-year-old game slowly got out of people’s lives during the Ming Dynasty.
Li Weipeng, 34, from Linzi district of Zibo city, is a seventh-generation inheritor (传承人) of cuju. He has been practicing cuju skills for 18 years. Mastering different cuju skills is not easy. “At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠球) a ball. It was tiring,” Li told China Daily. He now can juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row.
Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li’s job. The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi. “Students show great interest in playing cuju. It encourages me to promote the ancient sport,” Li said.

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 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 of sugar.”
In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient 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 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.
11.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.
12.Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the newly-developed battery?
A.Convenient. B.Stable. C.Inexpensive. D.Quick.
13.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.
14.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.
15.According to the last paragraph, who will find the bacteria battery less useful?
A.Divers. B.Farmers. C.Doctors. D.Cooks.
11.B 12.D 13.B 14.C 15.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。
11.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。
12.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。
13.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。
14.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。

【9题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:后来在18世纪,一些英国人也被带到澳大利亚。主语与谓语构成被动关系,事情发生在十八世纪,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为some British people,谓语用复数。故填were taken。
【10题详解】

The FIFA World Cup came to an end in December 2022. But the love for soccer is still very much alive and well in Zibo, Shandong Province. Zibo is called “the home of soccer ball”. It’s the birthplace of the ancient Chinese sport of cuju. In 2004, cuju won the recognition of FIFA — soccer’s governing body — as the earliest form of soccer.
The Chinese character cu means to kick. Ju means an ancient type of leather ball. It has feathers (羽毛) or grain chaff (谷糠) inside. The ancient Chinese historical text Zhan Guo Ce says cuju was a form of amusement among common people. But during the Han Dynasty, soldiers played cuju for army training. During the Tang Dynasty, women played cuju at the royal court (朝廷) for the amusement of the emperors. It entered the golden age in the Song Dynasty when it became popular among every class. Yet, the 2,000-year-old game slowly got out of people’s lives during the Ming Dynasty.
Li Weipeng, 34, from Linzi district of Zibo city, is a seventh-generation inheritor (传承人) of cuju. He has been practicing cuju skills for 18 years. Mastering different cuju skills is not easy. “At the beginning, I spent eight hours a day practicing juggling (颠球) a ball. It was tiring,” Li told China Daily. He now can juggle a ball with his foot over 10,000 times in a row.
Teaching students cuju moves is a part of Li’s job. The traditional Chinese sport cuju is now popular at primary and middle schools in Linzi. “Students show great interest in playing cuju. It encourages me to promote the ancient sport,” Li said.
1.Why is Zibo called “the home of soccer ball”?
A.Because cuju was born there. B.Because people there love soccer.
C.Because there is a branch of FIFA. D.Because modern soccer began there.
2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.The way of making cuju. B.The development of cuju.
C.The value of cuju to the world. D.The popularity of cuju among the Chinese.

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 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 of sugar.”
In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient 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 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.
11.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.
12.Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the newly-developed battery?
A.Convenient. B.Stable. C.Inexpensive. D.Quick.
13.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.
14.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.
15.According to the last paragraph, who will find the bacteria battery less useful?
A.Divers. B.Farmers. C.Doctors. D.Cooks.
