Monkeys do not like it when others get more food than they do, according to a new study.
Researchers from Yale and Harvard universities found Capuchin monkeys punish monkeys ①_____ get
more food. "This sort of, 'If I can't have it, no one can response is because of ②_____ (psychology)
spite(怨恨), and it was ③_____ (previous) thought unique to humans," said Kristin Leimgruber of Harvard

said the spiteful response was not present with another member of the ape species—chimpanzees(黑猩猩).
"⑧_____ earlier study," she said, "showed chimpanzees would fold up the table of other chimpanzees
⑨_____ (steal) food from them. But they would not punish chimpanzees who just happened ⑩_____
(have)more food," Santos said. In other words, it was fine if other chimpanzees had more food as long as
they did not steal it.

Before the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, Calif,
will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That’s because their new glass
windows will offer more than an amazing view of the North California landscape. They will also be able to
power the company’s lights, computers and air conditioners.
Several years in the making, Ubiquitous’ energy-producing glass is a remarkable technological
achievement. Its power lies in the layers of organic polymers (聚合物) between sheets of glass. As light
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂enters the window, the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is
then collected by tiny wires in the glass.
“It’s sort of like a transparent computer display run in reverse (反过来), ” says Veeral Hardev,
director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy. “Instead of electricity being shuttled to different
points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be shuttled out of different points in the
window. ”
Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of sunlight as
the typical solar cells used in roof panels (板). These windows, about half as transparent as ordinary glass,
don’t work as well as transparent ones. Hardev says the company is likely to improve the transparency
significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, he notes that windows can cover a much greater surface
area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly larger amount of electricity than the
production from a rooftop full of higher-efficiency solar panels. “You could do both. ” says Hardev. “But
you’ll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge, ” he adds, “is increasing the windows from less
than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet. ”
1. What makes the new glass windows special?
A. They can offer an amazing view.
B. They are controlled by computers.
C. They can power the conference room.
D. They can help stare toward the future.
2. What is Hardev trying to explain in Paragraph 3?
A. The source of light.
B. The significance of different points.
C. The similarity of computer and glass.
D. The working principle of energy-producing glass.
3. What can affect power production according to the passage?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A. The transparency of the glass.
B. The quality of the rooftop.
C. The height of the solar panels.
D. The thickness of the glass.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Windows: A New Challenge of Technology
B. Windows: No Longer Just for Letting in the Light
C. Power: A Pressing Problem in the Near Future
D. Power: Not Enough from Rooftop Solar Panels

To make sure of greener development, China will combine efforts in environmental protection and
ecological restoration according to the country's newly approved guideline (指导方针) for environmental
protection, part of the 13th FiveYear Plan (2016—2020).
China surpassed its goal in environmental protection for the 12th FiveYear Plan (2011—2015), with
carbon intensity (强度) dropping by 20 percent (the intended target is 17 percent). It is a major contribution
to worldwide efforts against climate change, officials said.
The new guideline stresses efforts to restore nature while reducing industrial damage to the
environment. The goal is to achieve a more environmentally friendly way of living, considerable reduction
in major pollutant emissions and a sounder ecological system by 2020. A good environment is a necessary
part in improving people's living standards, officials said.
Statistics of a report from several Chinese universities show that more than one third of the country's
industrial waste water flows directly into rivers and lakes. Water pollution within China has affected the
environment, society and agriculture. It has resulted in huge economic losses. Air pollution is also one of
the major problems in China. Heavy haze usually covers North and East China. Environmental issues are
becoming a barrier to China's development. Besides, heavy metal pollution in soil in China is so serious
that it requires us to act immediately. 10 percent of the total farmland of China has heavymetalpolluted soil.
The heavy metal in soil will enter into humans' food chain through grain and agricultural products.
The rapid industrialization of agriculture, expansion of the chemical industry, and the need to produce
cheap forms of energy have caused the continuous release of manmade organic chemicals into natural

before.

A．The huge influence of serious pollution on China.
B．The current situation of environmental pollution in China.
C．China's achievement in fighting pollution in recent years.
D．Measures the Chinese government takes to deal with pollution.
4．What can we know from the passage?

III.七选五
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. A more recent
addition to the list of things we throw away is e-waste — electronic items that are broken and not
recycled. ____16____, but also because we lack the skills to repair them even if we know their value.
Many millions of tons of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are abandoned each year. A
UN report claims the 50 million tons of e-waste generated every year will more than double to 110 million
tons by 2050, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the world. ____17____.
Recently, there’s a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the
growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. The BBC visited a Restart Project in London, which is
one of many found around the world. One of its operators, Francesco Calo, said that “This project makes
total sense. ____18____. Besides, it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed
a fault.”
____19____. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting (提取) these
materials from electronic gadgets (小工具). Apart from just being recycled, the European Union, for
example, is trying to encourage manufacturers to reuse some extracted electronic components.
____20____. With phones typically containing as many as 60 elements, this could be part of the solution to
our appetite for new technology.
A. First of all, this project prolongs the life of electric objects
B. It is partly because it’s cheaper to replace them than fix them
C. It is reported that many people have made a big fortune from it
D. Now solutions have been put forward to give this e-waste a new life
E. So it’s thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional recycling
F. As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another solution is e-waste mining
G. One of the reasons is that people don’t think their electronic items are fashionable enough
