In the coming match, Serena Williams is looking like she could become the fourth.The 36-year-old American

19、 woman had once defeated Evgeniya Rodina of Russia in a tennis tournament, who also is a mother. After her win against Rodina, Williams said, “I knew we were both moms, and Im not sure how often such competition happens, if ever. So its really cool. We can be a mom, we can still play tennis and we c

20、an still be great.”In fact, Williams has won seven Wimbledon singles titles and 23 Grand Slam singles titles overall. But a win here will be her first title since becoming a mother. She gave birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia, in September.Williams returned to Grand Slam competition earlier this

21、year at the French Open, but she withdrew because of an injury. Coming into Wimbledon, she was not ranked among the top 150 female players because she missed more than a full season of competition.

27、wanted to see the butterfly! OK, thats an old joke youve probably heard many times. But who doesnt like to see butterflies? Butterflies always fascinate children because of the miraculous transformation they go through during their life cycle. Its simply incredible that those unusual caterpillars(毛蟲

28、) can change into beautiful butterflies. One particular butterfly species the Monarch Butterfly travels great distances every year during its annual migration. Summer in North America is usually nice and warm, but Monarch Butterflies cant survive the cold winters of most parts of the United States.

29、Each year around October (or earlier if it turns cold earlier)，Monarch Butterflies migrate south and west to find warmer weather. Monarch Butterflies from the Eastern United States travel to Mexico, while butterflies that live in the west of the Rocky Mountains head to California.Amazingly, Monarch

30、Butterflies travel to the same destinations every year. For some Monarch Butterflies, the journey can be as long as 2, 000 miles and take up to two months to complete. The story doesnt end there, though. Because the life span of Monarch Butterflies is fairly short (68 weeks), its actually subsequent

31、 generations of Monarch Butterflies that make the same trips each year.Most insects do not migrate, because their life spans are not long enough. Only Monarch Butterflies born in September and October survive long enough to migrate. The butterflies that travel to Mexico and California have children

32、and sometimes grandchildren that then make the return trip in the spring.Monarch Butterflies have a 24-hour internal clock called a circadian clock that is part of their antennae(觸角). This part of the system tells the butterflies what time of day it is. Depending upon the time of day, the butterflie

33、s can then tell approximately where the sun should be. The butterflies then use special photoreceptors (光感受器) inside their eyes to follow the angle of the sun.Why do Monarch Butterflies move to California?A. It is very hot in the west.B. They enjoy flying here and there.C. It is warm in North Americ

34、a.D. The weather is fairly mild there.29. What do we know about Monarch Butterflies?A. They will probably die in the south.B. They will come back to the north the next month.C. They fly to the south and back in the same year.D. It usually takes them half a year to fly to the south.30. Monarch Butter

36、onarch Butterflies D. the differences between butterflies and other insectsDWith solar and wind electricity prices dropping, the hunt is on for cheap batteries to store all this power for use around the clock. Now, researchers have made an advance with a flow battery, the type of battery being devel

37、oped to absorb enough extra wind and solar power to fuel whole cities. They report the discovery of a potentially cheap, organic molecule (分子) that can power a flow battery for years instead of days. Flow batteries today can store and discharge large amounts of electricity longer and more safely, ch

38、eaply than traditional ones.However, the problem is that the present flow batteries still rely on relatively expensive electrolytes (電解質(zhì)). Chemists have been looking to organic chemicals called quinones (苯醌) as an alternative. Organic-based flow batteries can be 1/3 the cost of those traditional bat

39、teries, but they wear out after repeated charging cycles in an industry that expects them to last for a decade or more. “The lifetime of organic flow batteries is the main reason why they are struggling to be commercialized,” says Susan Odom, a chemist at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. So,

40、 Harvard University materials scientist Michael Aziz and his colleagues set out to improve the lifetimes of quinones.He and his colleagues report the creation of a new quinone called DBEAQ. Previous quinone-based flow batteries degraded by similar amounts every day. If the new quinone can be produce

41、d at a large scale as cheaply as other quinones and thats currently unknown its performance could already be good enough for commercial use, Aziz says.“They did a very good job in designing the quinone molecules,” says Tianbiao Liu, a chemist in Utah State University in Logan. However, he notes, the

42、 flow batteries, like others, use two different electrolytes to operate. And the second electrolyte still has degradation problem that still needs to be solved. “Thats still a challenge for the field to overcome,” he says.32. What advantage does the flow battery have compared to the traditional one?

43、A. It is cheaper and more long-lasting.B. It is more practical and changeable.C. It functions more stably and safely. D. It is more solid and flexible.What problem are the scientists trying to solve about the present flow battery?A. It recharges slowly.B. It stores little electricity.C. It lacks the

44、 government support.D. It depends on expensive electrolytes.34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The usage of the new quinone.B. The prospect of the new quinone.C. The structure of the flow battery. D. The mass production of the flow battery.35. What can be inferred about the flow battery from th

45、e last paragraph?A. Tianbiao Liu is worried about its market effect.B. It is a perfect product without drawbacks.C. Further research into it is challenging.D. Tianbiao Liu has no confidence in designing it.第二節(jié) (共5小題，每小題3分，滿分15分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)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。Bicycle touring is an adventur
