upset about. i didnt know who i should talk with about my feelings. so i decided to stay the night at my best friends house. though i knew i wouldnt tell her about my parents problem, i was looking forward to getting out of the house. i was in the middle of packing up my things when the power went out in the neighborhood. mom came to tell me that i should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.i was really disappointed because i felt that we did not have much to talk about. but i knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. i went to his room and told him that id stay with him until the power was restored. he was quite happy and said, “great opportunity.”“what is?” i asked.“to talk, you and i” he said. “to hold a private little meeting about what were going to do with your mom and dad, and what were going to do with ourselves now that were in the situation we are in.”“but we cant do anything about it. grandpa,” i said, surprised that here was someone with whom i could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as i was.and thats how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. sitting acrein the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life from how fast things change, to how they sometimes dont change fast enough. that night, because the power went out, i found a new friend, with whom i could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. suddenly, the lights all came back on. “well,” he said, “i guess that means youll want to go now. i really like our talk. i hope the power will go out every few nights!”i wished to get out of the house because _.i was angry about my parents quarreli wanted to escape from the dark housei planned to tell my friend about my trouble i found no one else to share my feelings withgrandpa was happy to see me because _.he was afraid of darkness b. he had not seen me for a long limehe could discuss the problem with med. he felt quite lonelywhat can be inferred from the passage?a. they would have more chats. b. the lights would go out again.c.the grandchild was eager to leave.d. it would no longer be dark.bwhat will power your house in the future? nuclear, wind, or solar power? according to scientists at the massachusetts institute of technology (mit) in the us, it might be leaves but artificial (人造的) ones.natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. it is known as photosynthesis (光合作用). now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.the artificial leaf developed by daniel nocera and his colleagues at mit can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂). similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell, which uses those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “one can imagine villages in india and africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said nocera at a conference of the american chemical society.the artificial leaf is not a new idea. the first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. the new leaf, by contrast, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. in laboratory studies, nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.the wonderful improvements come from noceras recent discovery of several powerful, new and inexpensive catalysts. these catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. besides, the device can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesnt need pure water. this is important for some countries that dont have access to pure water.with the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”, scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries, especially in india and rural china.which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?a. artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc. the artificial leaves are put in waterd. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricitya . c, a, d, bb. c, a, b, dc. b, c, a, dd. c, b, a, dthe purpose of the scientists at mit in developing the new artificial leaf is to_. a. offer people in developing countries access to pure waterb. provide cheaper energy for developing countries c. gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis processd. build up more power stations in the worldthe main idea of this passage is about _.a. saving energyb. a mixture of water power and solar energyc. an invention copying photosynthesis d. an introduction to the history of artificial leaves cjanuary 15, 2014 kyoto a father froze to death while sheltering his eight years old daughter from severe weekend snowstorms that swept northern japan. fujita makoto, one of at least nine people killed as snowstorms swept across hokkaido (北海道), died as he tried to protect his only child yumi against winds of up to 113 kilometers per hour in hokkaido, as temperatures fell sharply to minus 6 degrees centigrade.makotos body was uncovered by rescuers looking for the pair after relatives raised the alarm. yumi was wearing her fathers jacket and was wrapped in his arms. the pair had last been heard from at 4 p. m. on saturday, after fisherman makoto picked his daughter up from a school where she was being looked after while he was at work. makoto called his relatives to say his truck had become stuck in the driving snow, which was several meters deep in places. he told them he and yumi would walk the remaining kilometers. the two were found just 300 meters from the truck at 7 a.m. on sunday.makoto had his body bent over his daughter, gently holding her in his arms and apparently using his body and a warehouse wall to provide shelter. the small girl was taken to hospital, where she was found to have no serious injuries. her father was officially pronounced dead by doctors at the same hospital.the newspaper yomiuri said yumis mother had died of illness two years earlier. the paper quoted neighbors as saying makoto had been an extremely caring father who would often delay the start of his working day to enjoy breakfast with his daughter.his death came as families all over japan celebrated girls day, a festival in which they gather at home and decorate houses with dolls. “he reserved a cake for his only daughter and was looking forward to celebrating dolls festival together,” a neighbor told the yomiuri.which of the following might be the best title for the passage?snowstorm takes away 9-year-old girls fatherfather dies sheltering daughter from snowstorm 8-year-old girl made orphan in snowstormjapanese dad dies in snowstormwhen the disaster happened, the father and daughter were _.returning home after visiting relativesjust 300 meters away from homedriving home after a visit to a hospitalon their way home from the girls schoolwhich of the following doesnt show the fathers love for his daughter?yumi was wearing her fathers jacket.makoto had his body bent over his daughter.makoto had been looking forward to dolls festival.makoto called his relatives to say his truck had become stuck.what can we infer from the passage?makoto had just celebrated girls day with his daughter before he died.the relatives were not careful enough and raised the alarm too late.no one cared for yumi at home while her dad was at work. the rescuers delay resulted in the avoidable death.dif your dog or cat is eating grass, it means its going to

that more people visit the hospital during a full moon, though more people do seem to get caught by the police during that time. the idea that the moon influences behavior has been studied for thousands of yearseven the word “lunacy”, which means crazy behavior, is based on the word “luna” or “moon”.in doctors opinion, a grass-eating dog or cat _.shows animals also have stomach problems.is

go far beneath its surface._17_ however, he is not a fish. he must breathe air, so he cant stay under the waters surface for any length of time. to explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.a diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. _18_ he can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece. water weighs 800 times as much as air. tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. _19_when a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. as he rises to surface, the water pressure becomes less. if the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles(气泡). the diver is then suffering from the bends(潜水病). the bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. _20_man wants to explore deep into the sea.the water pressure can cause a diver to breathe with difficulty. he can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above.they can even kill him.for thousands of years, he could sail on it.his body is under great pressure.scientists are trying to find more about the sea.第二部分：英语知识运用（共四节，满分70分）完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。since the moment each of my children started school, i packed their lunches. and in each lunch, i _21_
