Siren GPS Mobile. B. Life360. C. Red Panic Button. D. First Aid by American Red Cross.BResearchers have created glass by harvesting energy from wind and precipitation (降水).The approach offers an alternative to other smart windows powered by batteries, solar panels, and even standard power outlets. “The creation represents a new kind of renewable energy source, says Liming Dai, a nanomaterial engineer at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, who was not involved in the research.Smart glass, which changes its characteristics to block out light or heat, has been around for decades. Common examples include glare-fighting rearview (后视) car mirrors and windows that change color for energy savings and privacy. But many are expensive, and people are still looking for eco-friendly ways to power the windows. Batteries and plug-in outlets arent apparently “green, and built-in solar panels can cloud or hide parts of the glass.In experiments, the glass produced up to 130 milliwatts per square meter, enough to power a pacemaker or a smart phone while its asleep, the team reported online last month in ACS Nano. This output might suit many applications, such as being a power source for home or office electronics, says co-developer and scientist Zhong Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. Since their first project in 2022, a light-up sidewalk powered by footsteps, he and his colleagues have miniaturized their generators to create everything from self-cleaning keyboards to sensors for security systems.But Wang and colleagues still have more work to do before this smart glass is ready for commercialization. Now, the glass has no way to store the energy it creates. To solve this problem, Dai says, transparent supercapacitors (超级电容器) could be placed into the glass without decreasing visibility.For now, the team wants to improve the energy efficiency of their nanogenerators. These tiny power plants can convert about 60% of the mechanical energy (机械能) that they encounter into electricity. “The output power is a constant goal, Wang says. “Free energy is around us, and anything can happen if you take control of it."4.What is unique about the latest generation of the smart glass?A. It is more expensive.B. It is powered by weather.C. It can protect privacy.D. It can block out light and heat.5. What is the drawback of the smart glass?A. It cannot power a smart phone.B. It cannot suit the supercapacitors.C. It cannot keep its produced electricity.D. It cannot change its color according to weather.6. Which of the following best explains “convert underlined in the last paragraph?A. Transform. B. Waste.C. Consume. D. Reserve.CThe start of the US Atlantic hurricane season is just over two weeks away and forecasters (预报员) are expecting particularly high activity this year. With warmer than usual conditions expected in the North Atlantic this summer, meteorologists have predicted that the season could produce eight or more hurricanes.While forecasters cannot predict how many hurricanes if any will make landfall, the potential for dangerous storms to strike the southern and eastern coasts brings an additional problem for authorities already struggling with COVID-19.Experts say that COVID-19 is affecting the capabilities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other organizations involved in responding to natural disasters.Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Jeffrey Talley, who now leads global efforts on disaster management at IBMs Center for the Business of Government, said that with FEMA and other authorities engaged in responding to COVID-19, resources will be limited if a hurricane strikes.“When we look at a disaster . I think of it in terms of how we prepare for, respond to and recover from those types of events, Talley said. “Right now were in the middle of the response of COVID-19. None of us are really sure how long its going to last and how the response to disasters is going to be different, say, two months from now, six months from now, so on and so forth, he said.According to Talley, COVID-19 could complicate the response to a hurricane by interrupting the flow of emergency supplies to areas where they are urgently needed at crucial moments.Social distancing and stay-at-home orders will also force authorities along the south and east coast to rethink how they manage people who must leave their homes in the event of a disaster. While many states are already lifting some lockdown restrictions, social distancing will still be important for many months to come.7.When will the first hurricane possibly arrive in the US this summer?A. In about eight days.B. In about six months.C. In about two months.D. In more than two weeks.8. According to Talley, how could COVID-19 influence the response to a hurricane?A. Lockdown can greatly reduce damage and injury.B. The pandemic makes it harder to predict hurricanes.C. More people will leave home to fight against a hurricane.D. Relief supplies might not reach disaster areas sometimes.9.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Authorities along the coasts will stick to the former orders.B. People throughout the country no longer need to stay at home.C. It is necessary to keep social distance in the coming months.D. The state governments are confident about dealing with hurricanes.10.What is the best title for the text?A. COVID-19 to Worsen Hurricane ResponseB. More Destructive Hurricanes to Be ExpectedC. More Difficult to Forecast Hurricanes ComingD. Social Distancing Needed in the Coming MonthsDThe world has a water problem which is simple to understand but not to solve. The amount of water in the world is limited. Water usage in the world has increased during the past 10 years. Usages will continue to increase as the population grows and uses more water. A third of the worlds population lives in countries that have too little water. 11 Its strange to think that there is more than enough water available for everyones basic needs. 12 Some countries are much drier than others, for example Sudan in Africa. The UN says that people need a minimum of 50 litres of water a day for drinking, washing, cooking and sanitation (卫生). In 1990, over a billion people did not have even that. Water shortages can mean long walks to get water, high prices to buy it, food insecurity and disease from drinking dirty water. 13 Governments that try to improve water supplies need to think carefully about how to do this. 14 But in many cases, the environment and the habitats of plants and animals are threatened by the dams as a result. 15 New technology can help, especially by cleaning up pollution and so making more water usable, and in agriculture, where water use can be made far more efficient. For millions of people around the world, solving the problem is a matter of life and death.A. So what can help? B. Its just not spread evenly throughout the world. C. Unfortunately, its poor people who suffer most. D. By 2025, scientists expect this to increase to two-thirds. E. Dams and other large projects now provide millions with water. F. Electricity from these dams can provide people with clean energy. G. The rest along major rivers in the world have no worry about water. 第二局部：完形填空共 20 小题；每题 1.5分，总分值 30 分阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.7 had struck the mountain.
