21、 Tune in tonight at 6:00 p.m. to catch a science awards ceremony like no other. The 30th First Annual Ig Nobel Prizes celebrates unusual scientific research “that makes people laugh, then think,” according to the Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), the magazine that organizes the annual event.
Now in its 30th year, the Ig Nobels ceremony is always officially described as the “First Annual” because “every year is a new beginning,” master of ceremonies and AIR editor Marc Abrahams told Live Science in 2016.
Former winners of Ig Nobel Prizes explored questions such as: Why do old men have big ears? Can you unboil a hard-boiled egg? And the eternal puzzle: Are cats a solid or a liquid?
Since 1991, the ceremony has unfolded in front of a packed house at Harvard University’s Sanders Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Nobel winners typically hand the winners their awards. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠肺炎), the 2020 award ceremony has been prerecorded, but it will still offer a science-themed opera- a long-standing Ig Nobel tradition, performed by opera singers and scientists from the Boston area-as well as plenty of surprises, Abrahams told Live Science.
“Every part of the ceremony has been re-designed, because of the pandemic,” AIR representatives said in a statement. “The organizers even invented a new way for a Nobel winners on one continent to “physically” hand an Ig Nobel Prize to a new Ig Nobel Prize winner on a different continent.”
How is that even possible? You’ll have to watch the Ig Nobels to find out.
The ceremony will be broadcast live here on Live Science as well as on YouTube and AIR’s Facebook page as in previous years. Versions of the ceremony with translations in Japanese, Chinese and Spanish, will premiere at the same time as the U.S. version and will be accessible from the AIR website.
【1】Why is the 30th First Annual Ig Nobel Prizes called the “First Annual”?
A.Because every year is a new start.
B.Because the ceremony is brand new this year.
C.Because the ceremony is organized by the AIR for the first time.
D.Because the aim of the ceremony is to make people laugh and think.
【2】What can we conclude according to Marc Abrahams？
A.The Ig Nobel ceremony is always recorded in advance.
B.The 2020 Ig Nobel ceremony has prepared many surprises.
C.Ig Noble competitors are addicted to strange but meaningful questions.
D.It’s an Ig Nobel tradition to invite scientists around the world to perform.
【3】How is the 2020 Ig Nobel ceremony different from before?
A.All details about the ceremony will be broadcast online.
B.It has been put off because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

23、The Guide to Riding a San Francisco Cable Car
Cable Car History
The cable car was introduced to San Francisco on August 2, 1873. Throughout the 1890s, eight companies operated 600 cars which covered 21 cable car routes. The 1906 earthquake destroyed most of the cable car system. Now, only 37 cable cars remain with three lines in operation. All cars are artistic works as they are made and handled by hand!
Cable cars aren’t just for tourists! They are an essential part of the city’s public transport system. They are the city’s only moving historic landmarks.
The Cable Car Lines
Powell-mason Line (Yellow signs on car): Begins at Market Street turnaround, and ends at Fisherman’s Wharf East End (Bay Street turnaround).
Stops: Downtown(Market Street), Union Square, Nob Hill, Chinatown, Cable Car Museum, North Beach and Fisherman’s Wharf(Bay Street).
Powell-hyde Line(Red signs on car): Begins at Market Street turnaround and ends at Fisherman’s Wharf West End(Hyde Street turnaround).
Stops: Downtown(Market Street), Union Square, Nob Hill, Chinatown, Cable Car Museum, Russian Hill, Fisherman’s Wharf(west end), and Hyde Street.

24、What will power your house in the future? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, it might be leaves – but man-made ones.
Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to copy this seemingly simple process.
The man-made leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his partners at MIT can be seen as a special chip with catalysts (催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell (电池), which uses those two materials to produce electricity.
A man-made leaf is not a new idea. The first man-made leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and changeable for practical use. The new leaf, on the contrary, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that a man-made leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.
The wonderful improvements come from Nocera’s recent discovery of several powerful, new, inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy change inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the machine can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesn’t need pure water. This is important for some countries that don’t have enough pure water.
With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “giving energy to the poor”, scientists believe that the new machine could be widely used in developing countries, especially in India and rural China.
【1】What will give power to our house in the future, according to MIT?
A. Man-made leaves. B. Nuclear.
C. Solar power. D. Wind.
【2】Which of the following orders correctly shows how the man-made leaf is used to produce electricity?
a. man-made leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygen
b. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cell
c. the man-made leaves are put in water
d. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity
A. cbad. B. bcad.
C. cabd. D. cadb.
【3】What does the underlined “stable” in the 4th paragraph mean?
A. Secure. B. Powerful.
C. Unnatural. D. Unchangeable.
【4】The aim of the scientists at MIT in developing the new man-made leaves is to .
A. build up more power stations in the world
B. provide cheaper energy for developing countries
C. offer people in developing countries access to pure water
D. gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process
