10、med for air-conditioners and more carbon emissions (排放). Now, researchers at Loughborough University (UK) have created a water-filled window that can overcome these problems.The “water-filled glass” (WFG) system, designed by Dr. Matyas Gutai, involves a sheet of water being trapped between a panel (

11、嵌板) of glass, and the water is practically invisible. The windows are connected to an indoor storage tank (箱) using pipes hidden in the walls, allowing water to flow easily between the windows and the tank.This system allows the house to cool and reheat themselves automatically. When sunlight stream

12、s through the glass, the windows keep the buildings cool as the water takes in external and internal heat. This warm water then flows back to the tank. And when the outdoor temperature drops, the stored warm water is brought back to the walls to reheat the building using a monitoring system similar

13、to central heating. The heated water can also be used for domestic (家用的) purposes. Although some electricity is required to pump the water back and forth, it uses much less energy than traditional air-conditioners or heaters.Dr. Gutai claimed that WFG can save energy from 47% to 72% compared to when

14、 using traditional windows. Once launched into the market, the windows will surely make a real splash, appealing to a large crowd of environmentalists and contributing to reducing our carbon footprint. Currently, the inventor team is testing the windows in two areas with different weather conditions

15、. The research reveals that WFG systems perform well in any inhabited climatekeeping buildings in hot climates cool and buildings in cool settings warmwithout requiring an additional energy supply.5Whats the weakness of traditional glass windows?AThey are easy to break into.BThey release carbon diox

16、ide.CThey fail to trap the heat.DThey lead to more energy consumption.6What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?AThe structure of the WFG system.BThe working process of the WFG system.CThe advantages of water-filled windows.DThe appearance of water-filled windows.7Whats the characteristic of the WFG system?

17、AIt is operated by man.BIt needs no electricity at all.CIt recycles the water in many ways.DIt reheats the house via central heating.8What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 5 probably mean?AMake a big fortune.BDraw lots of attention.CForm a huge waterfall.DTake immediate effect.（2021上海市控江中学高二期

20、 with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof. Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect who has used cardboard to make big buildings, including churches, Mr. Dun-lop used cardboard material for his tents which he called Myhabs. The design won an award at the annual New Designe

21、rs Exhibition after Mr. Dun-lop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business. To raise money for the idea, he toured the citys private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Min

22、ts directors and won their support. Mint has committed around 500,000 to Myhabs and taken a share of 30 percent in Mr. Dun-lops business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer before being marketed fully next year. Mr. Dun-lop said that the design, which accommodates two people

23、could have other uses such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics. For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhabs team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards.

98、分解塑料，使其重量损失。A项“塑料的重量损失”符合题意。故选A项。28主旨大意题。根据第一段“To tackle the problem of tiny plastics polluting waterways, chemists in the Czech Republic are thinking small. Their brainchild is a new microrobot which is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical rea

99、ctions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down.”（为了解决微小塑料污染水道的问题，捷克共和国的化学家们从小事做起。 他们的创意是一个新的微型机器人，它还没有削尖的铅笔尖那么大。 当阳光照射到它们时，它们会产生化学反应，推动它们在水中朝特定的方向移动。 当它们发现一块塑料时，就会粘在上面，并开始分解它。）可知文章主要介绍了捷克科学家为了应对日渐严重的微塑料污染问题发

100、明的微型机器人。C项“解决塑料污染的新希望”符合题意。故选C项。29D30C31A32B【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了未来的无人驾驶汽车的便捷性和安全性。29推理判断题。根据第一段中的设问“Will there be a time in our lives when cars dont crash (碰撞) ?
