24、Have you ever seen a solar panel (太阳能电池板)in your neighborhood? Solar panels take energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity. More and more people have started using solar energy to power(给……供电)their homes.
However, solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy days. Is it possible to make them produce(生产)electricity all of the time?
Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar panel now. It can produce electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls(滚动)down, it creates friction (摩擦力)on the surface of the panel, which can then be turned into electricity.
Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. “Our new invention can produce electricity in any weather during the day,” he says. “It can even produce electricity at night if there is rain.”
The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make solar panels more flexible, which are as soft as clothing.
The field of solar energy is developing(发展)fast. Scientists around the world have been improving solar panels. Some have been working on ways to join solar panels and wind power together. Some have been trying to use sunlight to produce liquid and gas fuels.(液体和气体燃料)
【1】Which energy is now the cheapest form of electricity in many parts of the world?
A.Solar energy
B.Water energy
C.Wind energy
D.Natural gas
【2】What is one of the problems of common solar panels?
A.The price of them is rising.
B.They can’t work all of the time.
C.They can hardly power people’s homes.
D.It creates friction when producing electricity.
【3】Why is the new solar panel more scientific and useful?
A.It has a larger size than a common one.
B.It produces more electricity from falling rain than solar energy.
C.It can produce electricity day and night and even in rainy condition.
D.It can save more money and gas fuels.
【4】What does the underlined word “flexible” mean in Paragraph 5?
A.柔软的
B.光滑的
C.粗糙的
D.坚硬的
【5】We can infer(推断)from the text that ________.
A.there is no room for developing solar energy.
B.there is no end to the research in the field of solar energy.
C.solar energy has met people’s needs for electricity.
D.solar energy has completely taken the place of other kinds of energy.
25、Getting enough shut-eye really matters for children, and those who are poor need it the most. We all know kids need a good night’s sleep in order to grow. After studying thousands of children, psychologist Mona El-Sheikh, a professor of child development, says children who don’t get enough sleep suffer from serious consequences.
“They do not concentrate as well or perform well on tasks that are difficult to understand,” she explains. “Even worse, they may be more likely to be unhappy, sick or obese. Sleep is very important for brain development and also for emotional control.”
As it turns out, what sleep gives, and what the lack of it takes away, may be much worse by poverty. “Poverty is a very major stress or for our children,” says El-Sheikh.
On average, El-Sheikh says the children studied get about seven and a half hours of sleep. Experts say children aged 5 to 10 need about 10 to 11 hours of sleep a night.
With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), El-Sheikh and her team at Auburn University are studying sleep shortage and how it has an impact on kids, including those who are otherwise deprived. El-Sheikh says the findings are clear. Sleep matters more for kids, and those who are poor need it most.
“Children, especially those who live in poor neighborhoods and come from more economically disadvantaged homes are likely to benefit more when they sleep better and tend to suffer more when their sleep is poor,” she says.
El-Sheikh is not sure why. She thinks it may be combination of all the stress factors in the children’s lives. The good news is, if poor kids get enough rest, that seems to level the playing field.
“They don’t get sick as frequently, they are less violent, they don’t show as much depression and worry in the home, and they do much better at school.” So, even parents who are struggling can give their kids encouragement by sending them to bed early. It’s an idea worth sleeping on.
【1】El-Sheikh thinks sleep shortage may be worse because of ________.
A.study
B.poor life
C.homework
D.stress
【2】The underlined word “consequences” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A.difficulties
B.similarities
C.results
D.differences
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Children aged 8 need about 10 hours of sleep a night.
B.Kids who don’t get enough sleep can focus well.
C.Children in poor areas need more sleep.
D.Poor kids, if they get enough sleep, will benefit more.
【4】The best title for the passage is ________.
A.Why sleep shortage is a problem for kids
B.How does sleep shortage happen

D.How to sleep well
26、There are many fights in this thick book that you would see in a good action movie. In fact, the book has been made into a movie, but I’m just not interested. How would I enjoy the movie when the book didn’t touch my heart at all?
I don’t mind reading about bad guys in a story. In fact, I don’t enjoy a book that has only good people who never do anything wrong, because it’s just not real life. But Lyle Heaton goes too far this time. I’ve read Heaton’s other books, and he is very good at writing about bad guys, but what is he trying to tell us by letting the bad guys in this book win everything in the end?
Besides, you always have to guess who the “I” in the book is. Heaton changes it so often that sometimes you just don’t know who is speaking.
You might feel a lot of things when you read Purple Star, but believe me, joy wouldn’t be one of them.
