Others only look like news stories. They actually advertisements, or ads. How do you, the reader, tell the differ

25、ence between a news story and an ad?In the past, it was easier. We got most of our information from newspapers. Big news stories appeared on the front page, and ads were boxed off and clearly labeled. But on the Internet, the two are often presented together. It can be hard to tell which is which.So

26、 a research group conducted a study in which students were shown the home page of a popular digital magazine and found out what was a news story and what was an ad. Most were great at identifying certain types of ads."It has a dis( code, a big company logo, and the words limited time offer.” on

27、e student said. So where did kids get stuck?Some ads seem identical to real news stories. They have headlines and contain information. But they may also include the words sponsored content.

32、as growing up in Jordan, his neighborhood receivedwater for only about 5 hours once every 2 weeks. If Yaghi wasn t up at dawn to turnon the taps to store water, his family, their cow, and their garden had to go without. At a meeting last week, Yaghi, now a chemist at the University of California, re

33、ported that he and his colleagues have created a solar-powered device that could provide water for millions in water-stressed regions. At its heart is a porous crystalline（孑L 晶 体 ） material, known as a metal-organic framework （MOF）, which acts like a sponge （海绵）: It sucks water vapor out of air, and

34、 then releases it as liquid water.Yaghi and his colleagues first developed a zirconium 皓）-based MOF in 2014 that could harvest and release water. But at $160 per kilogram, zirconium is too expensive for massive use. So, last year, his team came up with an alternative called MOF-303, based on aluminu

35、m, which costs just $3 per kilogram, but the harvest was only about 0.2 liters per kilogram of MOF per day.In July 2019, Yaghi reported that his team has designed a new and far more productive water harvester. Supported by a solar panel to power a fan and heater, which speed the cycles, the new devi

36、ce produces up to 1.3 liters of water per kilogram of MOF per day from desert air. Yaghi expects further improvements to increase that number to 8 to 10 liters per day. And his company this fall plans to release a microwave-size device able to provide up to 8 liters per day this fall. The company pr

37、omises an enlarged version next year that will produce 22,500 liters per day, enough to supply a small village.However, it needs to be shown that Yaghi s MOFs can be produced cheaply ona large scale. Each potential commercial MOF needs to prove itself in stability, efficiency, and life span. But if

38、MOFs can pass those tests, they could offer a solution to some of the world s most pressing problems.32. Why is Omar Yaghi s childhood mentioned at the beginning?A. To show how serious water problem is. B. To arouse reader s interest.C. To introduce the chemist.D. To lead in the topic.33. What is th

39、e problem of MOF-303?A. It costs too much.B. It is low in efficiency.C. It is hard to operate.D. It can t last long .34.According to Yaghi, how much water will a large water harvester produce per day?A. 1.3 liters. B. 22,500 liters. C. 10 liters. D. 8 liters.35. What can beconcluded from the last pa

40、ragraph?A. Yaghi ' sMOFs are in great demand now.B. Yaghi ' s MOFs have already entered the market.C. Yaghi ' s MOFs may help solve water shortage.D. Massproductionof Yaghi' s MOFs is impossible.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ways to Achieve Your GoalsP
