11、?? As free as they make us, mobile phones still need to stay close to a power source. Soon that may change with "green" power.
?? Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered device(装置) to charge their cellphones, while sitting in their school's outdoor courtyard during a break from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an "aha" moment.
?? “It occurred to Camila to say about plants, "said inventor Evelyn Aravena. “‘Why don't you have a socket, if there are so many plants? ’After that, we thought, ‘why don't they have a charging outlet? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy, why not?’”
?? Their invention—a small biological circuit called E-Kaia—uses the energy plants to produce during photosynthesis(光合作用). A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and that's where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone.
?? "It's the most amazing project I've ever seen in my life, plain and simple. They brought this original model, and it worked — and that's when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them." said Mauricio Cifuentes.
?? The device solved two problems for the engineering students — they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones.
"Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we weren't able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices," said Aravena.
But plants are everywhere, and the bio-circuit makes the best of their excess(过多的) power.
?The E-Kaia doesn't carry much charge but it's powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.
The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in December 2016.
1.How could the students get the "green" power idea? A.By carrying out an experiment. B.Just from an occasional thought. C.With the support of their professors. D.Inspired by the information in a science book. 2.The device collects power by using__________. A.photosynthesis B.a small biological circuit C.energy plants D.the electricity stored in the device 3.What can we learn from what Mauricio Cifuentes said? A.He intended to buy the patent. B.He invented the original device. C.He showed great interest in the device. D.He attempted to produce the device in large numbers. 4.What might be the best title for the passage? A.A New Device to Change the World B.Green Power - A New and Potential Source C.Chilean Students Find A Green Way to Charge Phones D.A New Device Invented by Chilean Students Will Be on Sale
12、??? Philo Farnsworth was a man who made it possible for one of the most important communication devices(设备)—television to be created.Philo was born on August 19th,1906,near Indian Creek in the western state of Utah.He attended a very small school near his family’s farm.He did very well in school.He asked his teacher for special help in science.The teacher began helping Philo learn a great deal more than most young students could understand.
??? One night,Philo read a magazine story about the idea of sending pictures and sound through the air.Anyone with a device that could receive this electronic information could watch the pictures and hear the sound.The magazine story said some of the world’s best scientists were using special machines to try to make a kind of device to send pictures.
??? 14-year-old Philo decided these famous scientists were wrong and that mechanical devices would never work.He decided that such a device would have to be electronic.Philo knew electrons (电子) could be made to move extremely fast.All he would have to do was to find a way to make electrons do the work.
??? Very quickly Philo had an idea for such a receiver.It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons.Philo called it“light in a bottle”.
??? Several days later,Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture (捕捉) pictures.He drew a plan for it,which he gave his teacher.Philo’s drawing seemed very simple,but it clearly showed the information needed to? build a television.In fact,all television equipment today still uses Philo’s early idea.
??? Philo Farnsworth was only 14 years old then.He knew no one would listen to a child.In fact,experts say that probably only ten scientists in the world at that time could have understood his idea.
??? On September 7th,1927,Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver.The image produced on the receiver was not very clear,but the device worked.In 1930,the United States government gave Philo patent documents.These would protect his invention from being copied by others.

14答案及解析:
答案:based; a; success; energetic; considering; is allowed; longest; about; who; wonderfully
解析:
你听说过一个叫KBG84的乐队吗?你知道其中的84是什么意思吗?这是一个平均年龄84岁的日本老太太乐队!
1.?based考査非谓语动词,分析句子结构可知此处是非谓语动词作定语,修饰The new band。be based in以......为基地。所以此处应该用
过去分词作定语。
2.?a考查冠词。这个乐队在这个国家大受欢迎。a real hit大获成功; 深受欢迎。
3.success考査词性转换,句意:很多人被他们的成功惊呆了。根据语境和设空处前的形容词性物主代词thdr可知设空处要用名词。 success在此处是不可数名词,故填success。
4.?energetic考査词性转换。句意:这些老太太在演出的时候非常有吸引力也很有活力。两个并列的形容词attractive和energetic充当系动词are的表语。
5.?considering考査介词。句意:考虑到她们的年龄,这些老太太的精力和热情非常惊人。considering在此处是介词,意为“考虑到;鉴于”。
6.is allowed考査动词时态和语态及主谓一致。句意:事实上,80岁以下的人是不允许进人这个乐队的。根据语境可知时态为一般现在时, 主语no one与allow之间是被动关系,主语是第三人称单数形式,所以答案为 is allowed。
7.longest考査形容词M高级。句意:冲绳岛上的居民是世界上寿命最长的人群之一。根据语境可知设空处表达的是最高级,所以要用形容词的最高级形式。
8.?about 考査介词。be particular about sth.对......挑剔/讲究。
9.?who考査定语从句。设空处引导的是非限制性定语从句,修饰的先行词是Kikuo Tsuchida,关系词在定语从句中充当主语,所以要用关系代词who。
10.?wonderfully考査副词。设空处要用副词修饰动词performs。wonderfully 非常好。
