It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.A prototype (原型) of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light

It also could power electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity.The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space.

At night, the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford, California. The generator produced up to abo
39、ut 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of device. That was enough power to light a small light-emitting diode, or LED bulb. Further improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter. To do that, the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.
40、The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices, says Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California, Los Angeles. This may be useful in polar regions that dont see sunlight for months at a time, Raman says.
41、 “If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darkness, this might be a way.”32. What can we know about the new device?A. It gains energy from the sun. B. Itll be popular in special areas.C. It is cooler than a solar panel. D. Its been widely used in life.33. Wha

As you can guess, there is rich cultural meaning behind the faithful companion of the earth. In Chines
73、e culture, compared with the masculinity of the sun, the moon is often considered as a quiet and elegant lady. Also, it reminds people of their family and friends far away. People feel reassured knowing that they are watching the same moon as if the moon could serve as their messenger. Human beings

Whats more, I think moon exploration shows an important human trait, that is, curiosity about the unknow
75、n, which is the driving force that has brought our species that far. I hope you find what Ive mentioned above interesting and reasonable. By the way, what do you think of when you gaze at the moon? Write back and tell me about it! Yours, Lihua部分详解：七选五：36题 E 由上文的“a description of the future you want
76、to create. ”和 后面并列的句式“It should be very meaningful to you and.”可推测E项。37题 B 选项中的not sure what you really want与后文的make best guess 相呼应。即使你不确定想要的未来是什么样，作出合适的猜想也可以让我们探索到更多。 38题 F 本段讲的是对自己的未来设想要采取具体的步骤。这就像演员要成就一部好戏，就要把写好的剧本表演出来。（第四段也用了actor来打比方）39题 D 从后文的so you know how close you are to achieving your vis
77、ion. 可知，你要不断回顾评估自己为实现自己的未来而采取的步骤和过程，这样都会了解自己与理想的距离。40题 G 本段讲的是要反思经验教训，主题句中的reflect on lessons 和上文中的“are willing to learn，you can create the future you want” 告诉我们经验教训让我们对自己看得更清晰。故选G项。完型 本文是夹叙夹议文。“我做到”远比“我知道”更重要。41.A。根据句中的communicate with others可知，此处需填一个和交流相关的单词，而交流的最基本的方式就是“说听”，因此，此处填listen，表示我们知道该如何
78、进行交流，如何认真聆听。42. D。根据上文中的We know how . we know how . and we know what .可知，我们知道自己有很多事情想做，这里需要填一个能概括这一系列内容的单词，而这些内容的罗列就是一张清单，此处四个选项中只有list具备此功能。43. C。根据本句中的put it into action可知，此处需填一个和action相对的词，如表示理论或知识的词，而四个选项中只有knowledge可以被还原到空中，表示“把知识付诸行动”。另外，根据上文多次出现的know也可推断出此处用其名词形式knowledge，形成词汇复现。44. B。句中的this
79、指代前一句话所表达的意思，即我们都知道该做什么，但是却难以付诸实践。本句后面，作者用自己的两个女儿的行为说明了这一点。因此本句要表达的意思是“我从我们的孩子身上看到了这一现象”，故选see。45.A。根据下文中的One daughter wakes up early .和Our other daughter is sleepy in the morning .可知，作者的两个女儿起床后有着相反的表现，因此此处需填的词应该表示“相反的”或“不同的”，故选A。46.B。根据上文中的gets herself organized可知，作者的一个女儿起得很早，然后把一切都安排得井井有条。ready to
80、 rock意为“准备好”，符合语境。47. C。此处需填一个形容词来修饰kid，说明其中一个女儿的情况。根据后面的to be downstairs可知，本句中的kid指那位每天迟下楼10分钟的孩子，因此选late。本题中lazy具有较强的迷惑性，但这种行为不是“懒惰”，因此不能选lazy。48.B。根据上文中的内容和下文中的Yes可知，作者爱迟到的女儿肯定知道自己“应该（supposed）”什么时候下楼。49. A。本文第三段用两个女儿的事例讲了不同的人有不同的习惯，本句是对前面内容的提炼和概括，起到承上启下的作用，再根据下文出现的develop these healthy habits和De
81、veloping these good habits可知，此处填habits。habits多次以原词形式复现，说明该词为本文主题词汇。50. A。下文介绍了养成良好习惯的必要条件，故此处需要填how来提出问题。51.D。此处需要填一个名词，和commitment以及how-to knowledge形成培养好习惯的三要素。根据下文的阐述以及And it needs plans to commit的提示可知此处填plans。52.C。根据下文中的change from “I know” to “I do”可知，真正让我们“决定（decide）”从“我知道”改变到“我做到”需要我们的投入。53.A。
82、上文中的change from “I know” to “I do”提示本空应选change，属于原词复现。54.B。根据下文中的the journey from “I know” to “I do”可知，在养成良好习惯时，我们也需要相应的知识来对这段旅程进行“规划（map out）”。55.C。此空前面讲的是While I look at these gaps，后面讲的是these gaps have to build up to a turning point .，可见此处的动词应表示“认识到，意识到”，表达“当我看到了，我明白了”，因此选learned。56. C。此处应填表示“促使发生
83、”的词，因此选kick in。57.D。根据下文中的you get to that turning point可知，此处应填一个词表示有一天我们会“突然意识到（hits）”自己到达了改变的转折点。58. D。根据上文中的get to that turning point和下文中的going to take action可知，此前经历了一个漫长的过程，因此，此处需要填一个表示终结的词，故填finally，表示我们终于要付诸行动了。59. B。根据上文中的the day of disgust可知，转折点有时会在我们很“低落的（low）”时刻出现。60.B。根据上文中的were able to take action可知，后面的意思应和take action意思相近。而start doing就是take action。文章全文都在介绍I know和I do的关系，因此作者用start doing总结全文，升华主题。
