16、watching the same DVDs: English without Barriers.Tahay?s elder brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the after-school poetry club. In the last six years, her English teacher Laurie Kumick has turned Cleveland Charter High SchooPs poetry program into one of the most respected in the city. Her team d

23、t the perfect building material.lt is cheap, durable, easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable.The one thing it is not, is transparent! Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholms KTH Royal Institute of Technology the material may even be able to add that feature to i
24、ts already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr, Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the woods lignin（木质素）.Th
25、e lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer（聚合物）and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours.The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent.The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying
26、the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips, the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications.The researchers, who rev
27、ealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for
28、homes and buildings.Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels.The semitransparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally, substituting the
29、 cunently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturers improve their carbon footprint and lower the cost.They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.1、What does the und
30、erlined partthat featurein Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Cheap. B. Durable. C. Sustainable. D. Transparent.2、Which of the following correctly shows the process in which the transparent wood is made?Dip the wood into a polymer.Adjust the amount of the polymer.Make the wood lignin-free.

B , Varying the amount of the polymer changes the woods hardness.C. The transparent wood would be used only for homes and buildings.D. The cost of making
32、the transparent wood still needs to be cut down. 4、What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The bright future of the transparent wood.B. The woods role in the design of solar panels.C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D. Solar energy manufacturers9carbon footprint.Text 3We are obsesse
33、d （迷恋）with ourselves. We study our history, our psychology, our philosophy. Much of our knowledge revolves （使旋转）around humankind itself, as if we were the most important thing in the universe.But in the course of the centuries we have come to realize just how many wrong ideas weve had. We have learn
34、ed of the existence of black holes, waves of space, and of the extraordinary molecular structures in every cell of our bodies.The more we discover, the more we understand that what we dont yet know is greater than what we know. The more powerful our telescopes, the stranger and more unexpected are t
35、he heavens we see. The closer we look at the minute detail of matter, the more we discover of its profound structure.In a famous story told by Plato in the seventh book of The Republic, some men are chained at the bottom of a dark cave and see only shadows cast upon a wall by a fire behind them. The
36、y think that this is reality. One of them frees himself, leaves the cave and discovers the light of the sun and the wider world. At first the light, to which his eyes are unaccustomed, stuns and confuses him. But eventually he can see and returns excitedly to his companions to tell them what he has
37、seen. They find it hard to believe.We are all in the depths of a cave, chained by our ignorance, our prejudices, and our weak senses reveal only shadows. If we try to see further, we are confused: we are unaccustomed. But we try. This is science. Scientific thinking explores and redraws the world, g
38、radually offering us better and better images of it, teaching us to think in ever more effective ways. Its strength is its capacity to demolish （推翻）old ideas, to reveal new regions of reality, and to construct new, more effective images of the world. This adventure rests upon the entirety of past kn
39、owledge, but at its heart is change.The incompleteness and the uncertainty of our knowledge, hung over the abyss （深渊）of what we dont know, does not make life meaningless: it makes it interesting and precious.1、What does the author want to tell us in the first three paragraphs?A.

40、of the universe prove to be wrong.B. Man has created splendid cultures in the course of centuries.C. Our knowledge of the universe is incomplete and uncertain.D.
