16、cups of tea for us.We talk about anything we can think of:politics,dogs,the weather,and work.Its a ritual that I look forward to days in advance.To an outsider,my visit appears to be simply the typical act of a granddaughter visiting her grandmother.But Merle and I are not related.She is my surrogat

17、e grandmother(代理外祖母).I didnt even realize I was in the market for a new grandparent until I gradually found that the relationship between Merle and I was exactly what I had with my maternal grandparents一safe and comfortable.While our relationship developed organically,there are plenty of people who

18、have gone out searching for a grandparent-grandchild relationship.Sydney-based Cate Kloos started“Find a Grandparent”in May 2012,after moving to Australia from Germany.While she enjoyed a close relationship with her grandparents in her native country,she realized her own children would be without th

19、eir extended family.She wanted them to benefit in the same way that she had.Grandparents,she says,offer a different but essential kind of support.“Find a Grandparent”works much like a match-making service,where young families or individuals can ask for someone to act as a grandparent figure in their

20、 life.So far,several hundred families have made connections and spend time doing typical activities-lunch,going to the movies and sharing stories.“It is very important to have another person to turn to when they have problems;often grandparents have a different approach to life,”said Klooa.24.How do

24、on we get on Earth.Thats enough to melt metal or fry pretty much any living thing.Luckily,researchers dont plan to use this powerful device called“Synlight”to fry anyone,and have taken precautions to keep people well away from it while its switched on.Instead,they hope it will help people discover n

25、ew,cost-effective ways of producing climate-friendly fuels like hydrogen.The bright minds at DLR,the German Aerospace Center,believe that a field of adjustable mirrors could be used to focus sunlight on a very small and incredibly hot area to create a high-energy reaction where hydrogen is extracted

26、(获取)from water vapor.Unfortunately,they dont know exactly how to do that,so theyve built Synlight to help them perform the experiment in a small laboratory.Synlight relies on the same type of Xenon short-arc lamps used in cinemas to simulate(模拟)natural sunlight.But a very large cinema would only req

27、uire one lamp,whereas this thing features 149 of them,all focusing their energy on a very small area.Thats one place you definitely dont to be when Synlight is on.Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe,but pure hydrogen gas is apparently very rare on Earth,so DLR hopes to use their“arti

28、ficial sun”to come up with a cost-effective way to produce more of it.Scientists have long been trying to create hydrogen fuels in a cost-effective way,but all their attempts have failed.Now its time to try with the sun,which is apparently worth two years and over 3.5 million euros.I wonder what wil

29、l happen if you stare at Synlight when its turned on.Maybe Ill fly to Germany and find out.It might just win me one of those Darwin awards Ive been wanting for so long.28.What do we know about“Synlight”?A.It can only be used in a small lab.B.It will be completed in two years.C.Its purpose is to prot

32、st significant problems never hit headlines.One example comes from agriculture.Food unrest and hunger make news.But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about.This is the decline in the growth in production of some of the worlds major crops.A new study by the University of Minnesota

33、 and McGill University in Montreal looks at where,and how far,this decline is occurring.The authors study the four most important crops:rice,wheat,corn and soybeans.They find that the improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.There are two worrying fea

34、tures of the slowdown.One is that it has been particularly sharp in the worlds most populous(人口多的)countries,India and China.Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets.That self扎扎实实走好每一天，每天每周都有新收获！英语周测 53/5su

35、fficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down.Second,production growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans.This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods,accounting for around half of all calories consumed.Corn and soybeans are m

36、ore important as feed grains.The authors note that“we havepreferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new pa

37、per which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050,as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.Instead,it says,thanks to slowing population growth,land currently ploughed up for crops might be able to revert(回返)to f

38、orest or wilderness.This could happen.The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in production,which may not actually happen.32.What does the author try to draw attention to?A.Food riots and hunger in the world.B.News headlines in the leading media.C.The decline of the grain pro

39、duction growth.D.The food supply in populous countries.33.Why does the author mention India and China in particular?A.Their selfsufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.B.Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.C.Their big populations are causing worldwide
