Researchers have developed a material made of collagen protein (胶原蛋白) from pig’s skin, which resembles
the human cornea (眼角膜) and restored vision to 20 people. The promising result of the trial brings hope to people
suffering from corneal blindness.
An estimated 12.7 million people around the world are blind due to their corneas being damaged or diseased.
Their only way of regaining vision is to receive a transplanted cornea from a human donor. But just one in 70
patients receives a cornea transplant. Furthermore, most of them live in low and middle-income countries in which
access to treatments is very limited.
To avoid the above disadvantages of traditional cornea treatment, the researchers used collagen protein from
pig’s skin. “It is possible to develop a biomaterial that meets all the criteria for being used as human implants (移植
物), which can be mass-produced and reach more people with vision problems,” said Professor Neil Lagali. While
donated corneas must be used within two weeks, the bioengineered corneas can be stored for up to two years before
use. The pig skin used is a byproduct of the food industry, making it easy to access.
The researchers have also developed a new surgical method for treating the disease. No stitches (缝针) are
needed with this new method. In a pilot study, 14 of the 20 participants were blind before the operation. After two
years, all of the patients regained their sight. Three of the Indian participants who had been blind had perfect vision
after the operation.
The researchers also want to study whether the technology can be used to treat more eye diseases, and whether
the implant can be adapted to the individual for even greater effectiveness.
1．What is the disadvantage of traditional cornea treatment?
A．Serious side effects. B．Low availability rate.
C．Poor medical equipment. D．Complicated surgical process.
2．What do we know about the biomaterial?
A．It has higher production costs. B．It can be stored for much longer.
C．It is able to be used for several times. D．It can help people prevent vision problems.
3．Which of the following best describes the new surgical method?
A．Successful. B．Ineffective. C．Convenient. D．Controversial.
4．What is the main purpose of the text?
A．To spread knowledge about cornea donation.
B．To show the difficulties of treating blindness.
C．To call on people to protect their eyes properly.
D．To present a new breakthrough in the medical field.
【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是研究人员开发出一种由猪皮肤胶原蛋白制成的材料，这种材

The possible explanations for the natural roots of envy are easy to imagine. Social comparison is how we
judge our relative place in society, and thus how we know what to achieve in order to stay competitive for
resources. When we see that we fall behind others, the pain we feel often encourages us to build ourselves up—or
to tear others down.
How people act in the face of this pain has led some scholars to distinguish between kind envy and harmful
envy. The former is miserable, but is met with a desire for self-improvement and to catch up with the envied person.
In contrast, harmful envy leads to destructive actions, such as hostile thoughts and behavior intended to harm the
other person. Kind envy occurs when you believe that admiration for the other person is deserved; harmful envy
kicks in when you believe it isn’t.
Envy—especially when harmful—is terrible for you. Scientists find that envying other people stimulates the
brain, which is associated with both physical and mental pain. It can also spoil your future. Ordinarily, people
become psychologically healthier as they age; envy can prevent this trend. Even though other studies have shown
that kind envy might encourage your ambition, this one did not find that envy predicted later economic success at
all.To feel envy, you need to have exposure to people who appear more fortunate than you. That is simple enough
in ordinary interactions. But the conditions of envy explode if we expose people to a wide group of strangers
presenting their lives to look as splendid, successful, and happy as possible. Obviously, I am describing social
media. In fact, academics have even used the term Facebook envy to capture the uniquely fertile circumstances that
social media creates for this destructive emotion.
If I could snap (捻) my fingers and wipe out envy from my life, I would, and I bet you would too. But envy is
natural, and getting rid of it would be impossible for all but perhaps the most enlightened (开明的) people. Lots of
research shows that gratitude destroys envy. So, next time the dog of envy barks inside you, quiet it with thoughts
of the people who love you, the things you enjoy, and the good fortune you have had.
5．How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By making comparisons. B．By giving explanations.
C．By making a judgement. D．By imagining a scene.
6．What has been found by scientists about envy?
A．People of kind envy usually live a miserable life.
B．Harmful envy occurs when people deny their beliefs.
C．Envy may contribute to terrible suffering to people.
D．It proves that kind envy contributes to great success.
7．Why is the term Facebook envy used by academics?
A．To refer to a phenomenon common in social media.
B．To describe how destructive the harmful emotion is.
C．To show how splendid and happy people’s lives are.
D．To illustrate the influence of ordinary interactions.
8．What can prevent us from being envious?
A．Finger snaps and dog barks. B．Gratefulness and appreciation.
C．Thoughtfulness and confidence. D．Self-improvement and optimism.
【答案】5．B 6．C 7．A 8．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文分析了忌妒之心的起因、忌妒的类型、影响以及避免忌妒的方法。
5．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The possible explanations for the natural roots of envy are easy to imagine.
Social comparison is how we judge our relative place in society, and thus how we know what to achieve in order to
stay competitive for resources. When we see that we fall behind others, the pain we-feel often encourages us to
build ourselves up—or to tear others down.(对嫉妒的自然根源的可能解释很容易想象。社会比较是我们如何
判断我们在社会中的相对地位，从而我们如何知道为了保持对资源的竞争力应该取得什么成就。当我们看
到自己落后于别人时，我们所感受到的痛苦往往会鼓励我们建立自己，或者贬低别人)”可推知，作者通过
解释引入主题，即解释什么是妒嫉。故选B。
6．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Scientists find that envying other people stimulates the brain, which is
associated with both physical and mental pain.(科学家们发现，嫉妒他人会刺激大脑，这与身体和精神上的痛
苦有关)”可知，科学家们发现嫉妒可能会给人们带来可怕的痛苦。故选C。7．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In fact, academics have even used the term Facebook envy to capture the
uniquely fertile circumstances that social media creates for this destructive emotion.(事实上，学者们甚至用
“Facebook嫉妒”这个词来描述社交媒体为这种破坏性情绪创造的独特肥沃环境)”可知，学术界会使用
“Facebook嫉妒”这个词是为了提到社交媒体中常见的现象。故选A。
8．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Lots of research shows that gratitude destroys envy. So, next time the dog
of envy barks inside you, quiet it with thoughts of the people who love you, the things you enjoy, and the good
fortune you have had.(许多研究表明，感恩可以摧毁嫉妒。所以，下次当嫉妒的狗在你心中狂吠时，想想爱
你的人，你喜欢的东西，以及你所拥有的好运，让它安静下来)”可知，感激和感恩能阻止我们嫉妒。故选
B。

The sales temptation: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short
wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we
spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right? After all, eye strain (疲劳) is a real issue and can
lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost 15 dollars all the way up to several hundred dollars.
But do they work?
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科专家) in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers
share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s
not always bad. “The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s
actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is blue light at night: It controls the release of melatonin (褪黑素). “Melatonin helps regulate our
circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz. So in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking
glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a table t at night to avoid sleeplessness. A 2021
review study from the University of Oklahoma found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work
fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye
strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study also by Australian researchers, found insufficient
evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases.
“These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz. But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the
industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the
blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz
suggests taking breaks and using lubricating eye drops.
9．What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs?
A．It may facilitate sleep. B．It actually causes severe health issues.
C．It can be of benefit in some aspects. D．It merely comes from digital devices.
10．Who will benefit from the glasses according to the studies?
A．People under great pressure B．People experiencing eye strainC．People with eye diseases D．People suffering from sleep disorders
11．Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses .
A．doesn’t contribute to less eye strain B．benefits those affected by shift work
C．is not harmful to eyesight D．helps prevent eye disease
12．What might be the best title of this passage?
A．Blue-light-blocking glasses: Your Best Choice
B．Blue-light-blocking glasses: Good or Bad
C．Blue-light-blocking glasses: A Good Business
D．Blue-light-blocking glasses: Smart and Cool
【答案】9．C 10．D 11．A 12．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是防蓝光眼镜是否能够起作用，并给出一些具体的措施。
9．推理判断题。根据根据第一段中的“But do they work?(但它们真的有效吗?)”可知，通过提问的方式，
引出本文讲述的话题，防蓝光眼镜有用吗？结合第二段中的““The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue
light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood,
alertness and sleep-wake cycle. (Esparaz博士说：“当然，太阳发出的蓝光强度比人造设备高得多，这实际
上是有益的。它有助于我们的情绪、警觉性和睡眠-觉醒周期。”)”可知，Esparaz博士说，太阳光发出的
蓝光强度比人早设备高很多，实际上是有益的，有助于我们的情绪、警觉性和睡眠——觉醒周期，由此可
知，蓝光在一些领域是有益的。故选C项
10．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma found that people
affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.(俄克拉荷马大学2021
年的一项综述研究发现，受睡眠障碍、时差和轮班工作影响的人在戴上这种眼镜后入睡更快。)”可知，俄
克拉荷马大学的研究发现，受睡眠障碍影响的人带上这种眼镜后会入睡很快，由此可知，这种眼镜对有睡
眠障碍影响的人有益。故选D项。
11．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing
the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses.(至于眼睛疲劳，2021年澳大利亚的
一项研究表明，戴眼镜的人的眼睛疲劳并不比戴透明眼镜的人少。)”可知，澳大利亚的研究表明，戴防蓝
光眼镜的人的眼疲劳比戴透明眼镜人的眼疲劳并不少，也就是说，戴防蓝光眼镜并不会减少眼疲劳。故选
A项。
12．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“The sales temptation: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes
from the effects of short wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given
how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right? After all, eye strain (疲劳) is a
real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost 15 dollars all the way up to several
hundred dollars. But do they work?(销售诱惑：防蓝光眼镜本应保护眼睛免受智能手机、电脑屏幕和LED灯
发出的短波长光的影响。考虑到我们在设备上花费的时间，这听起来是一项明智的投资，对吧？毕竟，眼
睛疲劳是一个真正的问题，它会导致睡眠质量差甚至眼疾。眼镜的价格从15美元到几百美元不等。但它们
真的有效吗?)”可知，现在人们花很多的时间在智能手机、电脑屏幕等发射蓝光的电子设备上，会造成眼镜
疲劳、睡眠质量差等问题，人们开始在防蓝光眼镜上投资，首段通过提问的形式引出本文的话题，戴防蓝光眼镜真的有用吗？结合下文中对戴防蓝光眼镜的益处的分析以及澳大利亚的一些研究证实戴防蓝光眼镜
对缓解眼疲劳以及预防眼疾方面并没有什么效果和证据，综合以上信息，本文讲述的是戴防蓝光眼镜在一
些方面有益，但有些方面也没什么效果，所以本文的标题为“防蓝光眼镜：有好有坏”符合本文的内容，
且概括全文的主题。故选B项。

Cities are difficult to navigate (导航) at the best of times, but for people with disabilities they can be like courses
with hurdles and bring inconvenience to disabled people.
A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties took 39% fewer trips than those with
no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow smarter. Assistive tech is playing a big role
in the transformation. The global value of the industry is expected to increase from $14 billion in 2015 to $30.8
billion in 2024, according to Zion Market Research.
One of the things that could transform lives is a smart walking stick designed by engineers from Young Guru
Academy (YGA) in Turkey. The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and uses
vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone to help navigation, and is connected with a
voice assistant and Google Maps.
Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to the Internet of Things and smart city
solutions makes it user-friendly. “As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my
exit ... I don’t know which bus is approaching ... which stores are around me. That kind of information can be
provided with the WeWalk,” he says.
“The smart walking stick is really an exciting initiative that will make a huge difference to some people,” says
Anna Lawson, the director of the Center for Disability Studies at Leeds University in the United Kingdom. “But
they are very expensive ... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people,” she added.
Bryan Matthews, a lecturer at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, shares the
concerns about cost. He says there should also be a focus on inclusive design, and anything that helps people
navigate their environment is positive.
13．What does “that” in the second paragraph refer to?
A．The survey that compared adults’ mobility.
B．The smart industry that is booming.
C．The fact that the disabled traveled less.
D．The role that the assistive tech plays.
14．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The working principles of the WeWalk stick.
B．The introduction of the WeWalk stick inventors.
C．The transformation caused by the WeWalk stick.
D．The benefits brought about by the WeWalk stick.
15．What’s the purpose of quoting Ceylan?
A．To show the value of smart tech.B．To urge more attention to the blind.
C．To increase the potential market share.
D．To encourage tech research and development.
16．What is the disadvantage of the WeWalk stick?
A．Confusing instructions. B．Poor navigation.
C．Inclusive designs. D．High prices.
【答案】13．C 14．A 15．A 16．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述残疾人比正常人旅游次数少这一现象，并指出如果设备和城市变得更
加智能，这一现象将改变。并展示了智能手杖这一设备。
13．词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句“A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties
took 39% fewer trips than those with no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow
smarter. (英国一项全国旅行调查发现，2017年，行动不便的成年人比没有残疾的成年人旅游次数少了
39%。然而，随着设备和城市变得更加智能，这种情况可能会改变。)”可知，划线词为指示代词that，通常
指代前文的人或物，可推测在本句子指代前文提到的这一事实：行动不便的成年人更少去旅游这一社会现
象。故选C项。
14．主旨大意题。根据第三段二三句“The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and
uses vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone to help navigation, and is connected
with a voice assistant and Google Maps. (WeWalk手杖有一个传感器，可以检测胸部以上的障碍物，并使用振
动来警告用户。它可以与智能手机配对以帮助导航，并与语音助手和谷歌地图连接。)”可知，本段主要介
绍了这种手杖的工作原理。故选A项。
15．推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to
the Internet of Things and smart city solutions makes it user-friendly. (Ceylan自出生以来就一直失明，他表示，
将手杖连接到物联网和智能城市解决方案，使其易于使用。)”可知，Ceylan认为对他这样的盲人而言，这
种手杖起到了作用，本段引用他说的话““As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know
which is my exit ... I don’t know which bus is approaching ... which stores are around me. That kind of information
can be provided with the WeWalk,” he says.(“作为一个盲人，当我在地铁站时，我不知道哪个是我的出口……
我不知道哪辆公共汽车来了。我周围有哪些商店?这类信息可以通过WeWalk提供。”)”也是进一步解释他
在段首提出的智能手杖有价值这一观点。故选A项。
16．细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句““But they are very expensive ... they’re not going to be available to
the vast majority of disabled people,” she added. (她补充道：“但它们非常昂贵…绝大多数残疾人都负担不
起。”)”可知，这位专家的话语表明这种手杖的劣势是价格太贵。故选D项。

The measure of a good night’s sleep is usually based on two things—the amount of time spent sleeping and the
quality of that sleep. But now researchers say there is a third thing that matters even more than the other two when
it comes to keeping good sleep habits, and that is having a regular bedtime.
A study has found that going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day have an important effect onone’s health. Adults who stick to a regular bedtime tend to weigh less, have lower blood sugar and reduced risk of
heart disease.
The researchers studied the sleeping habits of 2,000 adults with an average age of 69. They found that people
with greater irregularity (无规律) in their sleep patterns tended to go to sleep later at night, feel sleepy and sleep
more during the day, and experienced reduced light exposure. These people were also more likely to be stressed.
Among the three kinds of sleep problems, sleep regularity was the most strongly associated with health.
Of course, there are many people for whom this may be impossible, such as night-shift workers or those with
late-night duty. But for those who don’t have mandatory (强制的) reasons to stay up late, they should make an
effort to go to bed at the same time every night. Skip the late afternoon coffee. Get off the phone. Try this calculator
to figure out the best bedtime.
As Matthew Walker, a scientist, wrote, “The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life.” Surely that’s reasonable
enough to go to bed on time.
17．What can we infer from the research?
A．People feel more stressed when they grow older. B．The old often have less sleep.
C．Adults enjoy sleeping late. D．Regular bedtime does good to our health.
18．Which of the following influences health most?
A．Reduced light exposure. B．Sleep regularity.
C．Sleeping during the day. D．Sleeping later at night.
19．According to the author, those who don’t have to stay up late should ______.
A．Avoid the late-night duty. B．Skip the late-night coffee.
C．Get off the phone while working. D．Try to sleep at the same time each night.
20．What’s the best title for the text?
A．The Importance of Sleep B．Ways to Have a Good Sleep
C．Regular Bedtime for Your Health D．The Suitable Time for Sleep
【答案】17．D 18．B 19．D 20．C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。研究表明，除了睡眠时间和睡眠质量外，规律的就寝时间对于睡眠质量起着
很重要的作用。
17．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“A study has found that going to sleep and waking up at the same time every
day have an important effect on one’s health. Adults who stick to a regular bedtime tend to weigh less, have lower
blood sugar and reduced risk of heart disease.(一项研究发现，每天在同一时间睡觉和起床对一个人的健康有
重要的影响。坚持有规律的就寝时间的成年人往往体重更轻，血糖更低，患心脏病的风险也更低。)”可推
断，睡眠不好与我们的健康有很大关系。故选D。
18．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They found that people with greater irregularity (无规律) in their sleep
patterns tended to go to sleep later at night, feel sleepy and sleep more during the day, and experienced reduced
light exposure. These people were also more likely to be stressed. Among the three kinds of sleep problems, sleep
regularity was the most strongly associated with health. (他们发现，睡眠模式更不规律的人往往晚上睡得更
晚，感到困倦，白天睡得更多，暴露在光线下的时间也更少。这些人也更有可能感到压力。在这三种睡眠问题中，睡眠规律与健康的关系最为密切。)”可知，睡眠规律对健康影响最大。故选B。
19．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But for those who don’t have mandatory (强制的) reasons to stay up late,
they should make an effort to go to bed at the same time every night. (但对于那些没有强制性理由熬夜的人来
说，他们应该努力在每晚的同一时间上床睡觉。)”可知，那些不必熬夜的人应该每晚尽量在同一时间睡
觉。故选D。
20．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But now researchers say there is a third thing that matters even more than
the other two when it comes to keeping good sleep habits, and that is having a regular bedtime.(但现在研究人员
称，要保持良好的睡眠习惯，还有第三件事比前两件更重要，那就是有规律的就寝时间。)”及全文内容可
知，本文介绍了规律的就寝时间对于建立良好睡眠的重要性。“Regular Bedtime for Your Health (规律的就
寝时间有益于你的健康)”作为本文最佳标题，符合主旨。故选C。

Mosquitoes carry malaria (疟疾), which kills thousands of people each year. Now some researchers are trying
to use genetic engineering to make the annoying insects into partners in the fight against the disease.
For years, public health officials have tried to limit the disease by controlling mosquito populations. “But that
approach is temporary,” says Anthony James, a professor of biology and genetics at the University of California,
Irvine, “Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations can quickly rebound.”
Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different approach: making mosquitoes themselves into
malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from traditional ways of controlling malaria.
To understand how it works, it helps to understand the life cycle of malaria. The malaria pathogen (病原体) is
a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking
blood. “If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease,” he says.
But making mosquitoes uninviting to malaria is a tough job.
To solve the problem, the team used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. They started with genes from
mice, whose immune systems do fight human malaria, engineered those genes, and then gave them to the
mosquitoes.
It turned out the malaria-fighting antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They
reduced the number of parasites in the mosquito before they were passed to a human host.
James’ team are now working on planning a field trial, which he hopes could be conducted on an island or in
another isolated location.
But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with environmentalists. “There’s no need to engineer a
mosquito,” says Dana Perls, senior program manager for the emerging technology program at the non-profit
Friends of the Earth. Perls points out that naturally occurring methods for reducing malaria appear to be showing
promise, as does a new vaccine (疫苗) against the disease. “Why take unnecessary risks and release a species that
can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild?” she asks.
21．What can we know from the second and third paragraphs?
A．Mosquitoes reproduce quickly.
B．Mosquitoes depart from malaria.C．Mosquitoes are malaria-fighting warriors.
D．Mosquitoes’ populations are under control.
22．According to the text, which of the following are attractive to the malaria pathogen?
A．Mice. B．Parasites. C．Mosquitoes. D．Gene-edited mosquitoes.
23．What is environmentalists’ attitude toward this new approach?
A．Tolerant. B．Favorable. C．Objective. D．Disapproving.
24．What is the best title for the text?
A．Limiting Malaria by Controlling Mosquito Populations
B．Controlling Malaria by editing Mosquitoes’ genes
C．Curing Malaria with Gene-edited Mosquitoes
D．Preventing Malaria with a new vaccine
【答案】21．A 22．C 23．D 24．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍科学家想通过编辑蚊子的基因来控制疟疾，但环保人士反对这一
做法。
21．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Because mosquitoes are extremely tough little insects, and their populations
can quickly rebound. (因为蚊子是非常顽强的小昆虫，它们的数量可以迅速回升)”可知，蚊子的繁殖速度很
快。故选A。
22．细节理解题。根据第四段的“The malaria pathogen (病原体) is a parasite (寄生虫) that grows inside
humans. It’s passed via mosquitoes that move from person to person, sucking blood. (疟疾病原体是一种生长在人
体内的寄生虫。它通过蚊子在人与人之间传播，吸血)”以及“If we can make the mosquitoes difficult for the
pathogens to survive, we can wipe out the disease (如果我们能让蚊子难以让病原体存活，我们就能消灭这种
疾病)”可知，蚊子能吸引疟疾病原体。故选C。
23．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But genetically changing wild animals does not sit well with
environmentalists.(但是，改变野生动物的基因并不受环保人士的欢迎)”和“Why take unnecessary risks and
release a species that can’t be recalled once it’s released into the wild?(为什么要冒不必要的风险，释放一个一旦
被释放到野外就无法召回的物种?)”推知，环保人士对改变蚊子基因来消灭疟疾的方法是反对的。故选D。
24．主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段“Therefore, James and his colleagues want to try a different
approach: making mosquitoes themselves into malaria-fighting warriors, which is a complete departure from
traditional ways of controlling malaria. (因此，詹姆斯和他的同事们想尝试一种不同的方法：让蚊子自己成为
抗击疟疾的战士，这与控制疟疾的传统方法完全不同)”和倒数第三段“It turned out the malaria-fighting
antibodies which gene-edited mosquitoes produced worked very well. They reduced the number of parasites in the
mosquito before they were passed to a human host. (事实证明，经过基因编辑的蚊子产生的抗疟疾抗体效果非
常好。它们减少了蚊子体内寄生虫的数量，然后将它们传给人类宿主)”可知，本文主要介绍科学家想通过
编辑蚊子的基因来控制疟疾。故B项“Controlling Malaria by editing Mosquitoes’ genes (通过编辑蚊子基因
控制疟疾)”可作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。
7.（2024届·四川南充一模）Human responses to moral dilemmas (两难选择) can be influenced by statements written by the artificial

may underestimate the extent to which their own moral judgments can be influenced by the chatbot.
Sebastian Krigel and colleagues asked ChatGPT multiple times whether it is right to sacrifice (牺牲) the life of
one person in order to save the lives of five others. They found that ChatGPT wrote random statements arguing
both for and against sacrificing one life, indicating that it is not biased towards a certain moral stance (立场).
The authors then presented 767 U.S. participants, who were on average 39 years old, with a dilemma whether
to sacrifice one person’s life to save five others. Before answering, participants read a statement provided by
ChatGPT arguing either for or against sacrificing one life to save five. Statements were from either a moral advisor
or ChatGPT. After answering, participants were asked whether the statement they read influenced their answers.
Eighty percent of participants reported that their answers were not influenced by the statements they read.
However, the authors found that the answers participants believed they would have provided without reading the
statements were still more likely to agree with the moral stance of the statement they did read than with the
opposite stance. This indicates that participants may have underestimated the influence of ChatGPT’s statements on
their own moral judgments.
The authors suggest that the potential for chatbots to influence human moral judgments highlights the need for
education to help humans better understand artificial intelligence. They propose that future research should design
chatbots that either decline to answer questions requiring a moral judgment or answer these questions by providing
multiple arguments and warnings.
25．What are ChatGPT’s answers to a certain moral stance?
A．Inconsistent. B．Valuable. C．Creative. D．Simple.
26．What is learned about the participants?
A．They admitted the power of ChatGPT.
B．They were interviewed by a moral advisor.
C．They were affected by ChatGPT unknowingly.
D．They were presented with different moral dilemmas.
27．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Different findings of the study. B．Future potentials for chatbots.
C．Major focuses of future education. D．Solutions to the impact of chatbots.

Massive heat waves and droughts are already becoming a threat to farmers. Over the next three decades,
California’s San Joaquin Valley alone could lose up to 535,000 acres of farmland as a result of the shortage of water
supplies.
Jennifer Brophy, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford, is working on methods she hopes will be
used to change commercial plant species so they can survive severe conditions. She is developing new genetic
engineering techniques that can help plants grow in a variety of different conditions. By changing the genome (基
因组) of both commercial crops and soil bacteria, she thinks it may be possible to help plants survive droughts.
To make plants respond to extreme climate, Brophy is building what she calls “genetic circuits (基因回路).”
In addition to changing the genes within plant cells, this method also changes how and when those genes are
activated (激活). If the plant senses a specific sugar, it can express one protein; if it senses another signal, it’ll
express a different protein, kicking off an entirely separate chain of events. If both signals are there, the plant may
be able to express something else entirely. “Using circuits, you can have plants respond in new ways to all these
different inputs,” she says.
Humans can learn from the weather forecast whether it’s going to be really hot or really dry in the next couple
of weeks so that we can plan accordingly. “A plant doesn’t necessarily know what’s coming. It just knows if it’s hotor mild right now,” says Brophy. This can lead to problems when weather becomes unstable. A plant that usually
flowers in spring may flower in winter if there are a few unseasonably warm days. When temperatures fall again,
the flowers die and ruin a year of crops. “It’d be great to be able to communicate with plants to tell them, ‘hey, you
should wait on that flowering,’” she adds.
Controlling plants’ growth at this level is an exciting prospect, but actually putting it into practice is along way
off. At the moment, Brophy is testing the concept in the lab using a small weedy plant called Arabidopsis, trying to
figure out how to activate certain genes on command.

In late 2020, a post on Tweet spread quickly: “Another day of staring at the big screen while scrolling through
my little screen so as to reward myself for staring at the media screen all week.” It seems right on. We are glued to
our screens. And it’s not only about watching movies and scrolling through TikTok (抖音). As remote work has set
in, we’re relying entirely on digital tools to keep in touch with each other and get our work done.
This has led to a worrisome spike in “digital intensity (强度)”. A new survey from Microsoft tracked the
habits of more than 30,000 users in 31 countries over 2021, and the results are alarming.
The good news is that something as simple as a 10-minute break, if used correctly, can help reduce the effects
of digital intensity. “If you give yourself a break, and do something like mediation, reading, drawing — anything
that turns your brain to something more relaxing,” says Dr Michael Bohan, the director of Microsoft’s Human
Factors Engineering Lab, “the brain will begin to produce alpha waves.” After the break, “you’ll be more engaged
and focused, he adds. “Taking breaks lets you refresh, and maintain better brain health across the day.”
Finding new ways to connect with our colleagues, and reducing the number of daily online meetings, emails
and virtual check-ins will do more than “reduce the digital load”. It will also pave (铺设) the way for a reinvented
workplace, which most expect to be the combination of old and new. “We need to look at every process”, says
Bohan, “and ask: Why are we doing this? Is there a way to do this more effectively? Let’s not repeat what we’ve
always done. Let’s figure out how to do it better.”
33．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The popularity of digital products. B．The reason for the rise of remote work.
C．Our deep dependence on digital tools. D．The influence of social software on our life.
34．What does the underlined word “spike” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．A sharp increase. B．A sudden problem.
C．An abrupt drop. D．An unexpected result.35．What can we infer about the function of alpha waves mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A．It makes us sleep better. B．It helps improve concentration.
C．It causes tension and anxiety. D．It helps find new communication ways.
36．Which can help reduce digital load?
A．Following daily online check-in system.
B．Holding fewer everyday video meetings.
C．Contacting workmates through social media apps.
D．Using emails to communicate as much as possible.
【答案】33．C 34．A 35．B 36．B

Forests give us shade, quiet and one of the harder challenges in the fight against climate change. Even as we
humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce, we are threatening their ability
to do so. The climate change we are quickening could one day leave us with forests that send out more carbon than
they absorb.
Thankfully, there is a way out of this trap — but n involves striking a subtle balance. Helping forests thrive as
valuable “carbon sinks” long into the future may require reducing their ability to absorb carbon now. California isleading the way, as it does on so many climate efforts, in figuring out the details.
The state’s proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts
of the forest. This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying ability. But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the
available moisture (水分), so they grow and thrive, fixing the forest’s ability to pull carbon from the air. Healthy
trees are also better able to be spared from insects. The landscape is less easily burnable. The need for such
planning is increasingly urgent. Already, since 2010, drought and insects have killed over 100 million trees in
California, most of them in 2016alone, and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres.
California plans to treat 35,000 acres of forest a year by 2020, and 60,000 by 2030 — financed from the profit
of the state’s emissions (排放)-permit auctions (拍卖). That’s only a small share of the total land area that could
benefit, about half a million acres in all, so it will be vital to prioritize (优先考虑) areas at greatest risk of fire or
drought.
State governments are well accustomed to managing forests, but traditionally they’ve focused on wildlife and
opportunities for recreation. Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing
carbon. California’s plan, which is expected to be finalized by the governor next year, should serve as a model.
37．What does the author imply in Paragraph 1?
A．Forests may become a potential threat.
B．Extreme weather conditions may arise.
C．People may misunderstand global warming.
D．Global climate change may get out of control.
38．What does the California’s Forest Carbon Plan intend to do?
A．To expand the forest planting area.
B．To recover its forests quickly after wildfires.
C．To reduce the young trees and brush in some forests.
D．To find more effective ways to kill insects in the forests.
39．What is essential to California’s plan according to Paragraph 4?
A．To obtain enough financial support.
B．To carry it out before the year of 2020.
C．To handle the areas in serious danger first.
D．To improve emissions-permit auctions procedures.
40．What is the author’s attitude towards California’s Forest Carbon Plan?
A．Worried. B．Uncaring. C．Doubtful. D．Favorable.

Bees seem to fly aimlessly as they search for the sugary liquid called nectar (花蜜). But their flight plans
actually do have a pattern. Flowers act as the insects’ air-traffic controllers. And new research shows bees prefer
flowers that aren’t too flashy.
Flowers give bees clues about how much a plant can offer. Those clues can be in the color of petals, in the
type, in the smell or even in the electrical charge. All of these characteristics send signals to the bees, telling them
whether to land or not, among which the colors play the most significant role. The insects keep track of the color of
the flowers that are especially rich in nectar. They then visit more flowers of that color.
However, color can’t guarantee bees a good meal. It may change depending on the angle at which sunlight hits
its petals. A yellow follower, for example, may look somewhat blue from one angle and red from another. Beverley
Glover studies plants at the University of Cambridge in England. Glover and her colleagues showed that even when
the color of petals looks similar, bees behave differently in searching for nectar. They started to guess that the
strength of petals’ indescence (色彩斑斓) might be related to how bees find the petals.
Glover and her colleagues tested their hypothesis in the lab. In their experiment, they found that bees felt
confused sometimes when the petals were very iridescent and that bees had no problem finding the flowers with
more nectar when the petals were not very iridescent. The team shared its new findings in the March 21 Current
Biology.
“At first glance, it’s very surprising because animals can usually detect a more vivid signal more easily,” says
Klaus Lunau, a biologist in Germany, who was not involved in the study.
41．What can we know about the flight of bees?
A．They usually fly in a regular pattern.B．They fly under the direction of flowers.
C．They usually fly without any purpose.
D．They fly to some very flashy flowers.
42．What is the most important clue for bees to search for nectar?
A．The petals’ type. B．The followers’ smell.
C．The followers’ electrical charge. D．The petals’ color.
43．What does the underlined word “hypothesis” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Discussion. B．Method.
C．Assumption. D．Invention
44．What is the new finding of the team?
A．Petals that are not very flashy are better for bees to make adjustments.
B．Petals of different color usually give different signals.
C．Petals that are vivid are detected by bees more easily.
D．Petals of different types make bees confused to find the right flower.

People think that smartphones and laptops are evidence of progress. A certain amount of online searching, for
instance, can be good for your brain, and there are apps that can promote brain functions. Yet technology
advancements also come with some unintended consequences.
Studies have shown that blue-enriched light from electronic things like smartphones can disturb the body’sinternal clock and make it impossible for you to stick to a proper sleep schedule. Losing sleep has negative effects
on your brain, such as bad moods, decreased attention and problems of memory.
Technology makes it much easier to get distracted. For example, you step away from an important project to
check your smartphone. Teens, in particular, are more distracted than ever. A recent survey of 2,400 teachers found
that most educators feel students are more distracted than previous generations. Some 64 percent agreed with the
idea that today’s digital technology does more to distract students than to help them academically.
And technology makes people much more forgetful than they used to be. The new generation are actually
more likely to forget what day it is or where they put their keys than people over the age of 55, according to a
Trending Machine survey. In a press about the survey, Jo Patricia, a doctor, said technology was to blame. “This is a
generation that has grown up multitasking by using technology and is often accompanied by lack of sleep, which
results in high levels of forgetfulness,” she said.
People who rely on GPS to get around have less activity in the hippo campus, an area of the brain involved in
both memory and direction. A study from the University of London even found that taxi drivers had a more
developed hippocampus (海马，大脑记忆核心部分) than non-taxi drivers — because they are so accustomed to
using spatial (空间的) memory, rather than relying on GPS.
Now that you’re probably terrified of the effects of technology, let us remind you that you do have the power
to prevent it. Just log off every once in a while!
45．How does technology affect students according to teachers?
A．It upsets the new generation.
B．It makes students more forgetful.
C．It takes the students’ attention away.
D．It fails to aid students with their lessons.
46．What is Jo Patricia’s attitude towards technology?
A．Negative. B．Objective.
C．Optimistic. D．Conservative.
47．Why do taxi drivers have a more developed hippocampus?
A．Because they mainly rely on GPS.
B．Because they do more mental exercise.
C．Because they use spatial memory more.
D．Because they have a better sense of balance.
48．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Surveys conducted in a school.
B．Apps used to promote memory.
C．Progress made in electronic products.
D．Harmful effects brought by technology.

Feel the Music
We’ve all heard of smart phones, but how about smart clothing?The CuteCircuit company has stepped up the
technology beat and invented the SoundShirt, which was designed specifically for people who are deaf or hard of
hearing.How does this incredible shirt work?
First, let’s talk about a little science.People who have either all or some hearing loss don’t actually listen to
music the way that hearing people do, but they can feel it.Sound is made up of vibrations, called sound waves,
which hearing people can hear through their ears with the help of the brain.What’s really cool is that deaf people
sense vibrations in the part of the brain that others use for hearing!
So how is this remarkable technology able to function? First, CuteCircuit had to figure out a way to send
signals to the body, kind of like how you can feel when your phone vibrates in silent mode.Those connections the
body can feel are called haptics, a use of technology that simulates the senses of touch and motion.The SoundShirt
has tiny sensors woven into the shirt to pick up sound and transfer signals to the brain and body.
To test this music-to-shirt-to-wearer’s brain connection, CuteCircuit set microphones around the stage of a
symphony orchestra.The shirt’s computer system digitally received the sounds coming from the instruments.Then
the sensors, working like little motors, changed the signals into vibrations and the shirt wearer’s brain did the rest.
The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music in a unique way.The very deep
musical sound, or pitch, of instruments like drums and basses vibrates in the lower part of the shirt.Higher pitched
sounds from instruments like the flute or violin vibrate higher, around the neck and arms.As the music plays, thesensations combine while the brain gets to work putting together all the different vibrations, allowing the wearer to
“hear” the concert.
You might think this innovation(创新)would look like something out of a science fiction movie, but in fact,
these shirts are wireless! And the decorative laser-lined design on the shirt looks like an image of sound waves.

Denmark retired after practicing medicine for 73 years and then volunteered her services until she couldn’t
anymore. She died at the age of 114.
I met her by phone when the pediatrician (儿科医生) couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my baby. On
the phone, she talked with me for more than 30 minutes. I took her advice, and my baby was better about 10 days
later. She never charged me.
“You keep on doing what you do best as long as you can,” she was famous for the words. And it turned out her
advice about actively helping others was as good as her medical advice.
Obviously, we can’t all live as long as Dr. Denmark. But recent research has shown that volunteering provides
a longevity boost similar to the effects of adding multiple servings of fruits and vegetables to your daily diet.
Specifically, older adults who volunteer are at 24 percent less risk of early death. The positive impact of giving and
volunteering on older people goes beyond that. According to the research, adults over 55 who give their time for
others have an easier time with everyday tasks. Besides, volunteers experience 250 percent less cognitive decline
leading to dementia (痴呆).
According to a new study in the Journal of Happiness Studies, people who volunteer report higher levels of
happiness and life satisfaction. The study took it a second step and followed people who began volunteering—
monitoring their responses from the time they started volunteering. The longer they volunteered and the more they
volunteered, the greater level of happiness they reported.
You may already be volunteering your time. But if you’re not, consider the charities you support. Think about
the skills you might be able to offer them. You are likely to be glad about what you do.
53．What can we infer about Denmark?
A．She retired at the age of 73. B．She volunteered for 73 years.
C．She was patient and professional. D．She once forget to charge the author.

China has built in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, the Germplasm ( 种质) Bank of Wild Species, a
comprehensive national database for the collection and preservation of wildlife germplasm resources. As of the end
of 2020, the bank preserved 85,046 copies of 10,601 wild plant seeds for protecting wildlife germplasm resources.
Preserving dried and frozen seeds, the bank provides technological support for the protection and research, makes
use of China’s wildlife germplasm resources, and plays a major part in international biodiversity conservation.
The importance of science and technology for biodiversity conservation is increasingly obvious. When remotesensor monitoring was not available, agricultural technicians had no choice but to go for field studies, which could
barely meet the need for large-scale, fast and nondestructive (非破坏性的) monitoring of crop conditions and
timely prevention and control of diseases and pests. Nowadays, remote sensor monitoring has been applied in
agricultural production in China, allowing agricultural technicians to analyze the movements of insect pests and
evaluate plant diseases and insect pests by monitoring remotely the vegetation growth, coverage, surface
temperature, humidity and other indicators.
In the Internet era, information technology has made the processing of massive data possible and created wider
and more convenient platforms for biodiversity conservation in China, including Chinese Virtual Herbarium, Plant
Photo Bank of China, and National Animal Collection Resource Center. The emergence of databases and digital
programs in recent years is driving China to turn around its seriously threatened biodiversity.
From the collection and storage of information to the management and analysis of resources, the constantly
improving biodiversity information network has realized the exploration and use of massive biodiversity data,
providing a solid foundation for China’s biodiversity conservation and research. Biodiversity conservation and
science and technology are inextricable. Only by making science and technology a strong support for biodiversity
conservation can humankind guard the Earth and build a beautiful world of harmony among all beings on the
planet.
57．What can we learn about the bank from paragraph 1?
A．Its crisis. B．Its administration. C．Its role. D．Its staff.
58．What do researchers hardly need to do with the help of remote sensor monitoring?
A．Evaluate plant diseases and insect pests.
B．Go to fields to control the plant diseases.
C．Analyze the tracks of the pests of plants.
D．Satisfy the need to monitor crop conditions.
59．What does the underlined word “inextricable” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Linked. B．Competitive. C．Inadequate. D．Inessential.
60．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The Germplasm Bank of Wild Species Develops Fast
B．Technologies Promote Chinese Biodiversity Protection
C．China Has Made Great Efforts to Process Massive Data
D．Information Technology Contributes Much to Many Fields

use of massive biodiversity data, providing a solid foundation for China’s biodiversity conservation and
research.”(从信息的收集和存储到资源的管理和分析，不断完善的生物多样性信息网络实现了对海量生物多
样性数据的挖掘和利用，为中国生物多样性保护和研究提供了坚实的基础。)可知，科技为生物多样性的保
护提供了重要支持，两者息息相关的，可推断“Biodiversity conservation and science and technology are
inextricable.”(生物多样性保护与科技是inextricable。)中的inextricable意为“息息相关的，密切相关的”，
与linked表达的含义一致。故选A项。
60．主旨大意题。观察文章结构可知，文章先通过对野生物种种质资源库的介绍，说明了技术支持对该资
源库的作用，从而引出了科技在生物多样性保护中的作用；接下来第二段和第三段分段进一步详细阐述了
科技在生物多样性保护中发挥的作用，最后一段进行总结归纳，强调了生物多样性保护和科技是密不可分
的，由此可知文章是围绕科技对于生物多样性保护的作用而展开的，所以B选项“科技促进中国生物多样
性保护”概括了文章内容。故选B项。
16.（2024届·甘肃张掖一模）
There was a time when the solar industry was considered dead money. It was too expensive, too inefficient,
and too inconsistent to be a good alternative energy source for anything, let alone your home or office.
But those days are long gone. Today, solar energy represents the future of our planet’s energy needs because
it’s cheap, efficient, consistent, and most importantly, clean.
Solar energy costs have dropped by more than 70% over the past 10 years, and solar energy is now cheaper
than fossil fuels in most parts of the United States. Let that sink in for a moment.Better yet, the drivers of these cost declines—economies of scale and technological improvements powered by
Moore’s Law and Wright’s Law-are lasting, and therefore, solar energy is going to get even cheaper. Indeed, these
forces are so powerful in the solar industry that they have their own law-Swanson’s Law-which states that the price
of solar modules (组件) decreases by about 20%for every doubling in global solar capacity.
For what it’s worth, the US Department of Energy believes solar costs can and will fall by another 60% in
2030. So, solar energy is the cheapest way to power things today.
Meanwhile, solar panels have become very efficient at turning light from the sun into usable energy. Back in
1992, researchers at the University of South Florida created a thin-film solar cell with 15.9% efficiency—and that
was considered a breakthrough at the time. These days, though, your average silicon (硅) solar cells sport efficiency
rates above 20%. That’s standard. And manufacturers have created prototypes (原型机) that are getting 30%
efficiency, while some research efforts have even managed to achieve near 50% efficiency in certain lab tests.
At the same time, these solar systems have become dramatically more consistent. One of the biggest
disadvantages for solar energy in the early 2000s was its intermittency (间歇性) —the sun doesn’t shine every day,
so what do you do when it’s cloudy? Well, that’s why big batteries exist.
61．What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A．The worldwide popularity of solar energy.
B．The rapid increase in global solar capacity.
C．The contents of Moore’s Law and Wright’s Law.
D．The contributors to the decline in solar energy costs.
62．What is the purpose of the figures in paragraph 6?
A．To indicate the variety of solar cells.
B．To prove the wide use of solar cells.
C．To show the improvement of solar cells.
D．To compare the size of different solar cells.
63．What is the author’s attitude towards the future of the solar industry?
A．Positive. B．Doubtful. C．Uncaring. D．Worried.
64．What is most likely to be talked about next?
A．The wide use of solar power. B．The alternative to solar power.
C．The disadvantage of solar power. D．The storage of solar power.
【答案】61．D 62．C 63．A 64．D

going to get even cheaper. (更好的是，这些成本下降的驱动因素——摩尔定律和赖特定律推动的规模经济和
技术进步是持久的，因此，太阳能将变得更加便宜。)”可知，本段提及太阳能成本下降的主要原因——规
模经济和技术进步。故选D。
62．推理判断题。根据第六段“Meanwhile, solar panels have become very efficient at turning light from the suninto usable energy. Back in 1992, researchers at the University of South Florida created a thin-film solar cell with
15.9% efficiency—and that was considered a breakthrough at the time. These days, though, your average
silicon(硅)solar cells sport efficiency rates above 20%. That’s standard. And manufacturers have created
prototypes(原型机) that are getting 30% efficiency, while some research efforts have even managed to achieve near
50% efficiency in certain lab tests. (与此同时，太阳能电池板在将太阳光转化为可用能源方面变得非常有效。
早在1992年，南佛罗里达大学的研究人员就创造了一种效率为15.9%的薄膜太阳能电池，这在当时被认为
是一项突破。然而，如今，你的平均硅太阳能电池的效率超过了20%。这是标准。制造商已经制造出了效
率达到30%的原型，而一些研究工作甚至在某些实验室测试中达到了接近50%的效率。)”可知，本段中使
用数字来说明太阳能效率的提高，也就是太阳能电池的改善。故选C。
63．推理判断题。根据第二段“But those days are long gone. Today, solar energy represents the future of our
planet’s energy needs because it’s cheap, efficient, consistent, and most importantly, clean. (但是那些日子已经一
去不复返了。今天，太阳能代表了我们星球能源需求的未来，因为它便宜、高效、稳定，最重要的是清
洁。)”可知，作者对太阳能产业的未来的态度是积极乐观的。故选A。

consistent. One of the biggest disadvantages for solar energy in the early 2000s was its intermittency(间歇性)—the
sun doesn’t shine every day, so what do you do when it’s cloudy? Well, that’s why big batteries exist. (与此同时，
这些太阳系变得更加一致。21世纪初，太阳能最大的缺点之一是它的间歇性——太阳不是每天都会发光，
那么当多云的时候你该怎么办？这就是大电池存在的原因。)”可知，这里提到了太阳能的持续性问题，然
后提出阴天时候太阳能的有效性问题，由此推断，接下来可能会介绍如何对太阳能进行存储。故选D。
