(在我不确定自己想要做什么的时候，我喜欢帮助别人，所以我正在学习成为一名消防员。)”可知，作者之所以想要成为一名消防员，是因为作者喜欢帮助别人。故选A。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Whenhefollowedmein,thepeoplebehindthecounterrefusedtolethimin(当他跟着我进去时，柜台后面的人拒绝让他进去)”可知，当无家可归人跟着作者进入BurritoJoint时，柜台后面的工作人员拒绝让他进入，C选项“Theyshutthedoorinhisface.(他们当着他的面把门关上了。)”与原文信息符合。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ioftenthinkaboutthisstory,becausetomeit’snotjustabouthelpingsomeoneoutbyfeedingthem,butgivinghimtherespectofbeingahumanbeingandallowinghimtofeelgoodabouthimselfwasveryrewarding.(我经常想起这个故事，因为对我来说，这不仅仅是通过喂养来帮助别人，而是给予他作为一个人的尊重，让他对自己感觉良好，这是非常有益的。)”可知，这顿饭不仅满足了这个人的饥饿，而且给了他尊重。故选D。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，这篇文章讲述了有一天，作者在一家玉米饼店被一个饥饿的无家可归的人求助。他决定邀请这个人一起进店吃一顿真正的晚餐，但店员拒绝让他进来。最终，他鼓励他点了很多食物。对于这个曾经在社会边缘生活的人来说，作者的善行让他感到惊讶和特别。这个故事让作者明白不仅要满足别人的物质需求，还要尊重和关心他们，这样才会产生真正的回报。B选项“AMeaningfulDinner(有意义的晚餐)”即本文聚焦于作者邀请无家可归的人共进一顿真正的晚餐，这是一个有意义的经历。故选B。CAsreportedinthejournalNature,onesystemcandirectlyremovecarbondioxidefromsourcesrangingfromfluegas(烟道气)totheatmospherebyusingelectricitytoinduceawater-and-oxygen-basedelectrochemicalreaction.Thistechnologicalachievementcouldturndirectaircapture(捕获)fromedgeindustryintoapromisingfrontforclimatechangerelief.Mostcarbon-capturesystemsinvolveatwo-stepprocess:First,high-pHliquidsareusedtoseparatethecarbondioxide,whichisacidic,frommixed-gasstreamssuchasfluegas.Next,thecarbondioxideisregeneratedfromthesolutionthroughheatingorbyinjectingalow-pHliquid.“Oncethecarbondioxideistrappedinthesesolvents(溶剂),youhavetoregenerateit,”saysHaotianWang,assistantprofessoratRiceUniversity.“Thereareliterallynochemicalsproducedorconsumedwithourprocess.Wealsodon’tneedtoheatuporpressurizeourdevice,wejustneedtoputitintoapoweroutletanditwillwork.”Anotherdrawbackofcurrentcarbon-capturetechnologiesistheirrelianceonlarge-scale,centralizedinfrastructure.Bycontrast,thesystemdevelopedintheWanglabisanextensible,modular,point-of-useconceptthatcanadapttoavarietyofscenarios.“Thetechnologycanbescaleduptoindustrialsettings-powerplants,chemicalplants-butthegreatthingaboutitisthatitallowsforsmall-scaleuseaswell:Icanevenuseitinmyoffice.”Wangsays.Alsothereactorcancontinuouslyremovecarbondioxidefromasimulated(模拟的)fluegaswithefficiencyabove98%usingarelativelylowelectricityinput.Wangnotesthattheprocesshas“nocarbonfootprintoraverylimitedfootprint”ifpoweredbyelectricityfromrenewablesourcessuchassolarorwind.“Thisisgreatnewsconsideringthatrenewablelelectricityisbecomingmoreandmorecost-effective,”Wangsays.8.WhatdoestheauthorintendtodoinParagraph2?A.Addupsomeoppositereasons.

(当前碳捕获技术的另一个缺点是它们依赖于大规模的集中式基础设施。相比之下，Wang实验室开发的系统是一个可扩展的、模块化的、使用点的概念，可以适应各种场景。)”可知，作者是通过作比较的方式，指出了Wang实验室开发的系统即通过作比较支撑文章的主题。故选A。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Wangnotesthattheprocesshas“nocarbonfootprintoraverylimitedfootprint”ifpoweredbyelectricityfromrenewablesourcessuchassolarorwind.“Thisisgreatnewsconsideringthatrenewableelectricityisbecomingmoreandmorecost-effective,”Wangsays.(Wang指出如果使用太阳能或风能等可再生能源供电，该过程“没有碳足迹或碳足迹非常有限”。王说：“考虑到可再生电力正变得越来越划算，这是一个好消息。”)”可知，如果考虑可再生电力等再生能源进行供电实施该技术，整个过程中“没有碳足迹或碳足迹非常有限”，这对环境来说是极其友好的，由此推断，作者对该技术的态度是赞同的。故选B。DAround3,500Americansingest(摄入)batterieseveryyear.It’sapparentlysucharepeatingissuethatevenaspecifichotlinewasbuiltintheeventofsuchanemergency.Andwhileit’sunlikelyyourwristwatch’spowersourcewilleverbesafetoeat,thatdoesn’tmeanallbatterieswillremainuneatable-infact,somearebeingdesignedwithdigestionspecificallyinmind.AteamofresearchersattheItalianInstituteofTechnologyrecentlyrevealedwhatislbeingcalledastheworld’sfirstfullyrechargeable,eatablebattery.AsdetailedinapaperpublishedwithAdvancedMaterials,thenewdevicehasmadegooduseofsomeeatablematerials.“Eatableelectronicdeviceswillhavemajorimplicationsforgastrointestinaltract(胃肠道)monitoring,treatment,aswellasrapidfoodqualitymonitoring,”readsthepaper’sabstract,addingthatalthoughrecentresearchprovedthefeasibilityofeatablesensorsandcircuits,“fullyeatableelectronicdevicesandeatablepowersourcesarestillrequired,ofwhichtherehavebeenveryfewexamples.”Accordingtotheteam’sfindings,theirproof-of-conceptbatterywascapableofproducing0.65volts,whichissafelylowenoughforthehumanbodytohandle.Theingestiblecouldprovide48μAofcurrentfor12minutes,oralternatively,afewmicroamps(微安)foroveranhour.Suchapowersupplycouldprovideenoughenergyforsmallelectronicsaliketoeatablepill-shapedmodulesandothergastrointestinalprocedurealternatives.Inastatement,researchercoordinatorMarioCaironiexplainedthatsuchaproductcouldhelppowermonitorsforbothhumanhealthconditionsandfoodstorage.Additionally,giventheirsafety,productswithstrongerpowercouldbeusedwithinchildren’stoys,whereingestionriskishigher.Intheteam’sstatement,co-authorIvanIlicalsoexplainedthatdespitethebattery’srelativelylowpower,itsdigestibilityprovidesapromisingexampleofabatterythatdoesn’tuseanyharmfulmaterials.12.Whatisthenecessityofdevelopingeatablebatteries?A.Theyhelpwiththefoodshortage.
