26、 Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri（MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
“To provide enough power,we need certain methods with high energy density（密度)", said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. 'The radioisotope（放射性同位素）battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries ."
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro systems（MNEMS）. Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
“People hear the word ‘nuclear' and think of something very dangerous." he said. "However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems."
His new idea is not only in the battery's size, but also in its semiconductor（半导体). Kwon's battery uses a liquid semi conduct or rather than a solid semiconductor.
“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure（晶体结构）of the solid semiconductor." Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem."
Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery's power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.
【1】Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?
A. He teaches chemistry at MU.
B. He developed a chemical battery.
C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.
D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.
【2】Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 _____.
A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied.
B. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.
C. to describe a nuclcar powered system
D. to introduce various energy sources.
【3】Liquid semiconductor is used to _____.
A. get rid of the radioactive waste B. test the power of nuclear batteries
C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries D. reduce the damage to lattice structure
【4】The text is most probably a _____.
A. science news report B. book review
C. newspaper ad D. science fiction story
27、 It's so relaxing to take a bath in a hot spring while looking at beautiful scenery. If you travel in the U.S., plan to visit one of these hot springs:
Travertine Hot Springs
At the edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California are the Travertine Hot Springs. The orange, green and red rocks create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe. Each pool is a different temperature, s0 you can find one that you like.
These springs are easy to get to by car. Go south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs. If you like to camp, you can camp along the road. While you are there, try visiting Mono Lake and Yosemite National Park.
Bagby Hot Springs
The Bagby Hot Springs are located in an old forest. At the springs there are bathhouses, with private and shared baths. Spring water in the baths is at 136°F. If that's too hot, you can add cold water until it is suitable for you.
The Bagby Springs are about 45 minutes from Oregon. To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk through the Mt. Hood National Forest. Make sure to also visit Portland, which is known for its coffee, local beer and music.
Conundrum Hot Springs
If you like to hike, the Conundrum Hot Springs in Colorado are a great choice. There is an 8.5-mile hike to the springs. You can walk out and camp nearby the springs. After the hike, rest your muscles in the water and enjoy the mountain views.
While you are in the area, check out the Curecanti National Recreation Area. There, you can enjoy boating, fishing and bird watching,
【1】What do Travertine Hot Springs and Bagby Hot Springs have in common?
A.You can camp along the road.
B.You can choose private or shared baths,
C.You will walk through a forest to get to the springs.

28、Sandstorms are among the most violent natural disasters. High winds lift dirt or sand into the air, causing damage, injuries, and deaths. 【1】, it’s a good idea to know what to do if you see a wall of sand racing toward you.
Put a mask over your nose and mouth. If you have a mask, put it on immediately. 【2】, wrap a piece of cloth tightly around your head to protect your nose and mouth.
Look for shelter (避难所). 【3】, so long as it is off the road and not in danger of getting hit. Sand will fly around when it hits objects, so you should still try to cover as much of your skin and face as possible. If you cannot get to shelter, try to stay low to the ground and protect your head with your arms, a backpack or a pillow.
【4】. Look for a large rock to cover as much of your body as possible to protect yourself from flying sand. Flying sand can hurt, but a dust storm’s high winds can also carry heavier (more dangerous) objects.
Wait out the storm. Don’t try to move through the storm; it’s much too dangerous. Stay where you are and wait for it to pass before you attempt to move to a different location. If you can quickly reach such shelter before a dust storm reaches you, get there as quickly as possible and stay inside. 【5】.
A．If you don’t have one
B．After you wear a mask
C．Even a parked car will do
D．No matter where you live
E．Protect yourself from flying objects
F．Close all windows and doors, and wait out the storm
G．You’d better cover your face with your arm as you move
29、 With the summer holiday just around the corner, it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations. 【1】
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts. During the peak season, the hotel and flight prices increase quick, and you' ll likely to spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists. .
Eat like a local
Why do you eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new?
【2】 During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat. This will not just save money, but also provide you with a new and different experience. For smaller meals and snacks, avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeouts.
Save on hotels
Websites can help you find the discount hotel rooms. 【3】. Stay with the locals. If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period, renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Choose local transportation
【4】 Instead, take buses, railways or subways which are always cheaper. If you are planning to stay for a while, you can consider renting a car. Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.
【5】

A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
