(2025·宁德高二上第三次阶段测试)Charles Richard Drew’s great invention directly contributed to saving thousands of lives during World WarⅡ, and continues to contribute to the life-saving work of the entire world of medicine later.
Born in 1904, Drew was the eldest of five children.He was intelligent and showed a talent for studies and sports from a young age.In 1922, his athletic ability earned him an athletic scholarship to attend Amherst College in Massachusetts.Drew graduated from Amherst College in 1926.In 1928, he applied to medical schools and was admitted to McGill University in Montreal, Canada.He completed his medical degree and master’s degree in surgery in 1933.
Upon graduation, as an internship (实习生), he began to look at issues related to blood transfusions.
When he began his doctoral studies at Columbia University, with a physician named John Scudder, Drew continued his research in the field of blood transfusion.The two had jointly conducted research into blood preservation and fluid replacement, leading to the development of an experimental blood bank, which ran smoothly for seven months.
Drew’s breakthroughs in blood preservation were timely, as the World War Ⅱ was raging in Europe at the time.Under Drew’s direction, his team developed new ways to extract, preserve and transport plasma (血浆) on a large scale.
Following the success of the “Blood for Britain” program, Drew was appointed the assistant director for the US blood banking system.During this time, he built a number of mobile blood donation stations, later known as blood delivery stations.
On 1 April 1950, tragedy struck.Drew was injured in a serious car accident while on his way to a conference and died from his injuries.Many medical colleges and schools have been named after him to honor his contribution.

A.Because he has made a great contribution to medical science.
B.Because he alone finished the research in the field of blood transfusion.
C.Because his contribution has changed the process of the World War Ⅱ.
D.Because he died in a tragic car accident on his way to a conference.
4.Which category can this article be?( )
A.A documentary. B.A novel.

(2025·吉林八校高二上期末)Someday, shadows and light could team up to provide power.A new device uses the contrast (差异) between bright spots and shade to create an electric current.That current can power small electronics, such as a watch or LED lights.
Swee Ching Tan and his team call their new device a shadow-effect energy generator.They made it by coating silicon (硅) with a thin layer of gold.Silicon is often used in solar cells that produce electricity from sunlight.
As in a solar cell, light shining on this generator energizes electrons (电子) in the silicon.Those electrons then jump into the gold.The difference in light levels creates an electric current.Sending electrons makes a flow of current that can power small electronics.
Tan’s team described the new device in Energy & Environmental Science.Each device measures 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.That makes its area slightly larger than a stamp.In low light, eight generators power an electronic watch.These devices can also serve as self-powered motion sensors (传感器).For instance, when a toy car passed by, its shadow fell on a generator.That created enough electricity to light an LED.
The team compared its generators to commercial solar cells that are typically used under full sunlight.With half of each device in shadow, the generators produced roughly twice as much power per surface area as the solar cells.“But it would be better to compare them to solar cells meant to work in low light, such as the silicon solar cells in classroom calculators.These are designed to use indoor light,” said Emily Warren, a chemical engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.Warren also would like to see the team measure the power the devices make over a longer time, such as a whole day.
Increasing how much light the generators can absorb would allow them to make better use of shadows.So the team is working to improve the device’s performance with strategies that solar cells use to gather light.
5.What is the outer layer of Tan’s energy generator?( )
A.Gold. B.Silicon.
C.A solar cell. D.An LED light.
6.What was Emily Warren’s attitude toward Tan’s new device?( )
A.Doubtful. B.Objective.
C.Conservative. D.Expectant.
7.Which aspect of the device is the team working on at present?( )
A.Its better use of solar cells. B.Its means of locating shadows.
C.Its efficiency in light absorbing. D.Its application to the households.
8.What is the best title for the text?( )
A.Renewable Energy Usage on the Rise B.Shadow Effect Can Produce Electricity
C.A New Device to Harvest Solar Energy D.Shadow Energy May Replace Solar Energy
