三、阅读理解-阅读选择(共5小题;共61分)
A Nepalese teenager had made a 23 solar panel (太阳能电池板) using human hair.
Milan Karki, who is 18 years old and lives in a village, used human hair to replace (代替) silicon, which is a common but expensive part of solar panels. By using hair as a replacement, Karki says that solar panels can be produced for around 23.
Karki got the idea from a Stephen Hawking book, which explained how to create energy from hair. The device (设备) that Karki has showed can produce 18 w of energy—plenty to charge a mobile phone.
"Half a kilo of hair can be bought for only 16 p in Nepal and last a few months; but a pack of batteries (电)) would cost 50 p and last a few nights," according to The Daily Mail.
The solar panel is easy to service as the hair is easy to replace. Karki has now sent out several devices to other places near his home for testing. He said, "First I wanted to provide energy for my home, then my village. Now I am thinking for the whole world."
26. Karki wanted to use human hair because it is _____
A.beautiful B.cheap C.soft

Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight Here's something you can do.

Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn't stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.
_____35_____ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up.

In fact, Carolyn has decided to become an nurse, so she might apply to (申请) a medical college in her city.

句意:青少年经常想他们应该被允许自己做决定,但是他们的父母可能担心孩子的发展。根据前文“'I want to…', your parents answer, 'No, you can't.'”可知此处讲述孩子和父母之间的沟通,此处用 but 转折,引出父母。故选 G。

It was the back of a carriage (马车). 这句话说:Ampere 在街上散步,他忽然用粉笔在“黑板”上解决问题,但因为他在马路上,所以根本不可能有黑板,他其实是在一辆马车的背面写字。而题干说:Ampere 在教室的黑板上写一些东西。是错误的。
50 . Flags, flowers and people dancing/ Flags, flowers and people dance.
【解析】
细节理解题。从文中第一段 Many people were there. Everywhere we saw flags (旗) and flowers. We saw people (A) (dance) in the park. We had a good time. 这句可以看出,我们在公园里看到了:flags“旗”,flowers“花”,people dancing/ dance“人们在跳舞”。
