28、ai was frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degraded(降级)over time，until they failed to charge fullyShe did not like having to keep her laptop connected to an electrical outlet to keep it powered onSo，she decided to do something about that problemAt first，she and her team at UC Irvi

29、ne thought about inventing a new batteryBut as they experimented，Thai discovered something that might permit lithiumion(锂离子)batteries to last foreverLithium-ion batteries power most wireless devicesOver time，the batteries lose the ability to hold a chargeMost of these batteries have a life span of a

30、bout 7,000 charging cycles before they dieOne of the reasons lithiumion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires to carry electricityNanowires are extremely thinA human hair is thousands of times thicker，for exampleNanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity，which makes them useful

31、in batteriesBut，Thai had a theorythe nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝胶)She and her team tested this theory“It was a long process and a lot of work，”Thai saidThe team tried many coverings for the wiresPMMA，a type of plastic，was one of themThe nanowires were coated with PMMA and cyc

37、have a conversation. I wasnt sure how I was going to manage this until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary Im going to need. Thanks to Memrise, the app Im using. It feels just like a game.“People often stop learning things because they feel theyre not making progress or because it all fee

38、ls like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “Were trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something youd want to do instead of watching TV.”Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your “green

39、house”. When you practice the words, you “water your plants”. When the app believes that you have really remembered a word, it moves the word to your “garden”. And if you forget to log on, the app sends you emails that remind you to “water your plants”.The app uses two principles about learning. The

40、 first is that people remember things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created I imagined an old engine in a

41、motel (汽车旅馆) room.The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because its the kind of app you only use for five or ten minutes a day.Ive learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Mem

42、rise. I know this wont make me a fluent speaker, but I hope Ill be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my vocabulary!32. What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise?A. Create memorable experiences.B. Make progress with hard work.C. Master

43、 languages through games.D. Combine study with entertainment.33. What do the underlined words “water your plants” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Learning new words.B. Being a Memrise user.C. Logging on to the app.D. Taking care of your garden.34. How does Memrise work?A. By linking different mems togeth

44、er.B. By putting knowledge into practice.C. By offering human translation services.D. By applying an associative memory approach.35. What is the authors attitude towards Memrise?A. Positive. B. Doubtful.C. Uncaring. D. Disapproving.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容。从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Some p

45、eople are so rude. Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on the Internet? 36 Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little courtesies (礼节）. But many social norms（规范）just dont

46、make sense to people drowning in digital communication.Take the thank-you note. Daniel Post Senning, a coauthor of Emily Posts Etiquette, asked, “At what point does showing appreciation outweigh the cost? 37 Think of how long it takes to listen to one of those messages. In texts, you dont have to de

47、clare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. The worst are those who leave a voice mail and then send an e-mail message to tell you they left a voice mail.This isnt the first time technology has changed our manners. 38 Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, suggested that p

48、eople say, Ahoy!” Finally, hello won out, and the victory sped up the greetings use in face-to-face communications.In the age of the smart phone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a businesss phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, or an o

49、ffice, which can be easily found on a digital map. 39 And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. 40 In traditional societies, the young learn from

50、 the old. But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young. Heres hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.A. Then there is voice mail.B. Others, like me, want no reply.C. But people still ask these things.D. Dont these people real

51、ize that theyre wasting your time?E. Wont new technology bring about changes in our daily life?F. Face-to-face communication makes comprehension much easier.G. When the telephone was invented, people didnt know how to greet a caller.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）In life, we will s
