B【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用乐善好施的托尼马奇的故事告诉我们给予的快乐就是生活的快乐，一个人做好事能带动许多人做好事，而改变一个社会。【24题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“At a time when human kindness and sympathy seem to be on the endangered behavior list, ”及下文“a

47、man like Tony and be reminded that caring individuals still exist, that the human spirit, firmly focused, can achieve wonders”可知，当人类的善良和同情似乎被列入濒危行为清单的时候，托尼却用实际行动提醒着我们有爱心的人仍然存在，人类精神，只要坚定地专注，就能创造奇迹，这自然是“令人振奋的”事情，故划线词和“exciting”意思接近。故选D项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Through all the mental and physical abuse, Ton

48、y didnt give up and used education to break the poorness cycle and became the owner of 21 auto dealerships. “It is education that brings success to me,” he said.（尽管遭受了精神和身体上的虐待，托尼没有放弃，而是利用教育打破了贫困的循环，成为了21家汽车经销商的老板。“是教育给我带来了成功，”他说。）可知，教育对托尼的影响很大。故选B项。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“When the Director of Metropolit

54、raphene.As reported in Nature , a concentration of as little as 0.1% of flash graphene in the cement(水泥) used to bind concrete could lessen its massive environmental effect by a third. Production of cement reportedly gives off as much as 8% human-made carbon dioxide every year. “By adding graphene t

55、o concrete, we could use less concrete for buildings,” Tour said.The flash graphene process gets its name from the spark of bright light created when the chemical reaction occurs. Most of the energy is not turning into heat, but instead goes into a type of thermal electromagnetic radiation (热电磁辐射).

56、That radiation breaks every carbon-carbon bond and any extra energy leftover is released in the form of the bright flash of light. Flash graphene is made in just 10 milliseconds this way.The problem with the flash process at the current stage is: The researchers could only make about a picogram of g

57、raphene, an extremely small amount of graphene that might be suitable for electronics. Tour hopes to produce a kilogram a day of flash graphene within two years, starting with a project recently funded by the Department of Energy to change U.S.-sourced coal. “This could provide an outlet for coal on

63、to graphene for a tiny amount of the cost used by other graphene-producing methods.(莱斯大学化学家詹姆斯图尔(James Tour)的实验室引入了一种新工艺，可以将几乎任何碳源的大量碳转化为有价值的石墨烯。图尔说，这种“闪蒸石墨烯”技术可以将一吨煤炭、食物垃圾或塑料转化为石墨烯，其成本仅为其他石墨烯生产方法的极小部分。)”可知，James Tour 的石墨烯生产方法，不仅有成本优势，而且原材料易得。故选C项。【29题详解】推理判断题。 根据第三段 “The world throws out 30% to 40%

64、 of all food every year and plastic waste is of worldwide concern.(全世界每年扔掉30%到40%的食物，塑料垃圾引起了全世界的关注。)”以及第四段“As reported in Nature , a concentration of as little as 0.1% of flash graphene in the cement(水泥) used to bind concrete could lessen its massive environmental effect by a third. Production of ce

65、ment reportedly gives off as much as 8% human-made carbon dioxide every year.(据自然杂志报道，在用于粘结混凝土的水泥中，只要含有0.1%的石墨烯，就能将其对环境的巨大影响降低三分之一。据报道，水泥生产每年释放出高达8%的人为二氧化碳。)” 可知，闪蒸石墨烯以食物和塑料垃圾为原料，且可减少建筑行业的水泥需求，这说明了:闪蒸石墨烯在缓解全球变暖有大潜力。故选C项。【30题详解】推理判断题。 根据最后一段“ The problem with the flash process at the current stage is

66、: The researchers could only make about a picogram of graphene, an extremely small amount of graphene that might be suitable for electronics. Tour hopes to produce a kilogram a day of flash graphene within two years, starting with a project recently funded by the Department of Energy to change U.S.-

67、sourced coal.(目前闪蒸工艺的问题是:研究人员只能制造出大约一微克的石墨烯，这是极少量的石墨烯，可能适用于电子产品。Tour希望在两年内每天生产1公斤的闪蒸石墨烯，这是从能源部最近资助的一个项目开始的，该项目旨在改变源自美国的煤炭。)”可知，研究人员在接下来的2年里将会致力于增加这种闪蒸石墨烯的产出。故选B项。【31题详解】推理判断题。 由第一段“That banana peel from your lunch, turned into graphene(石墨烯), a valuable material in electronics and many other fields,

68、could bring a massive reduction of the enironmental effect of concrete(混凝土) and other building materials.(你午餐吃的香蕉皮，可以转化为石墨烯，一种在电子和许多其他领域有价值的材料，可以大大降低混凝土和其他建筑材料对环境的影响。)”可知，文章要介绍一种将垃圾转化为材料的方法。通读全文可知，文章介绍了:研究者利用高温可将废弃的食物或塑料垃圾等材料转换为极具经济价值的石墨烯。所以文章的主要目的是呈现一种把垃圾变为“宝藏”的方式，故选D项。DA new study, published in Mu
