40、 work to do before this smart glass is ready for commercialization. Now, the glass has no way to store the energy it creates. To solve this problem, Dai says, transparent supercapacitors (超級電容器) could be placed into the glass without decreasing visibility.For now, the team wants to improve the energ

41、y efficiency of their nanogenerators. These tiny power plants can convert about 60% of the mechanical energy that they encounter into electricity. “The output power is a constant goal，” Wang says. “Free energy surrounds us, and anything can happen if you take control of it.”語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了一種能供電的智

42、能玻璃。該玻璃可以利用風力和降水產生電能，是一種綠色環(huán)保的能源產品，但該產品仍面臨諸多問題，如電能儲存問題。32What is unique about the smart glass?AIt can protect privacy.BIt is more expensive.CIt is powered by weather.DIt can block out light.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段第二句“Researchers have created glass by harvesting energy from wind and precipitation.”可知，這種智能玻璃的特別

43、之處是可以利用風力和降水獲取能量，故C項正確。答案：C33What is the main idea of paragraph 3?AThe research history of Zhong Wang.BThe experimental process of Zhong Wang.CThe research theory of Zhong Wang's team.DThe experimental findings of Zhong Wang's team.解析：段落大意題。根據第三段的內容尤其是第一句“In experiments, the glass produced u

44、p to 130 milliwatts per square meter, enough to power a pacemaker or a smartphone while it's asleep, the team reported online last month in ACS Nano.”可知，第三段主要說明了該團隊的實驗結果，故D項正確。答案：D34What is the drawback of the smart glass?AIt cannot keep its produced electricity.BIt cannot suit the supercapacito

45、rs.CIt cannot power a smartphone.DIt cannot change its color according to weather.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段第二句“Now, the glass has no way to store the energy it creates.”可知，目前該產品的缺陷是無法儲存其產生的能量，故A項正確。答案：A35Which of the following best explains “convert” underlined in the last paragraph?AConsume. BTransform.CWaste

46、. DReserve.解析：詞義猜測題。根據最后一段第二句“These tiny power plants can convert about 60% of the mechanical energy that they encounter into electricity.”可知，這些微型發(fā)電機可以將智能玻璃收集到的60%的機械能轉化為電能。據此可推知，畫線詞意為“轉化”，故B項正確。A項意為“消耗”，C項意為“浪費”，D項意為“儲備”，都與文意不符。答案：B第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Recal
