However. the opportunity of a
16、n open year between the MBA and the degree came up. and as a keen touring cyclist, Fahey realized that a much dreamed-about adventure was now becoming a possibility: “The ride in Africa had been on my fantasy list. It was a moment when I realized that I could do anything, so l should. ”Fahey rode ac
17、ross Africa, a 7,500-mile trip that took four months. The whole experience had a life-changing impact. Fahey said: “Bicycles provide a literal freedom. You dont allow yourself to feel like that in everyday life because there are so many distractions. But when youre out on the bike and theres nothing

23、blet computers and e-readers, we simply cannot break our addiction to paper. An estimated four billion trees are cut down every year to make paper or cardboard, an energy-consuming process with a vast environmental footprint. Now chemist Yadong Yin of the University of California, Riverside, and his
24、 colleagues have developed “ rewritable ” paper that could help control that impact.Printed rewritable paper is made using Prussian blue nanoparticles （纳米粒子）. The researchers coated conventional paper with nanoparticles of two chemicals : Prussian blue that gives blueprints their characteristic colo
25、r , and titanium dioxide （二氧化钛） , a substance used in sunscreens.UV light makes the titanium dioxide nanoparticles donate electrons （电子） to their Prussian blue neighbors, shifting its color from midnight blue to milky white.By shining that UV light through a transparent （透明的） screen marked with blac
26、k text , the researchers “ printed ” blue text on a white background. The text lasts about five days and then naturally fades away: “ Every morning I could just push a button, and a printer would give me a fresh newspaper to read over breakfast, ” Yin says.The paper can also be reset by heating and
27、reused more than 80 times, a significant improvement over previous types of rewritable paper. “ The key advantages are high reusability and stability, easy handling and low cost, ” says Sean X. Zhang, a materials scientist at Jilin University in China, who was not involved in the study but has also
28、worked on developing rewritable paper. By comparison, technologies such as electronic ink-used for Amazons Kindle Paperwhite-involve moving charged black-and-white particles around, which requires electronics.Since reporting their invention in Nano Letters early this year, the scientists have used a
29、 digital projector to replace their transparent screen. They are now working on increasing the number of times the paper can be reused. Zhang says a key difficulty will be persuading companies to develop the unconventional UV control needed for widespread use. Even though commercialization could be
30、a few years away, Yin says, “ Weve had a lot of discussions with industry investors. ”28. What does the underlined “ that impact ” in the first paragraph refer to?A.

Reduce, reuse, recycleDResearchers at MIT and in China developed a simple, solar-powered water desalination （脱盐） system. They have made a breakthrough in getting fr
33、esh drinking water from sea water by using sunlight.As the research paper published in Energy & Environmental Science explains, equipment applied in this system includes several layers of flat evaporators （蒸发器） that turn water sources into fresh water through solar energy, as well as condensers （冷凝器
34、） that cool the gas into the liquid. The authors of the paper are MIT students Lenan Zhang and Lin Zhao , Professor Evelyn Wang, and nine other researchers at MIT and at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.How the system uses each of the multiple stages to remove salt from the water is critical t
35、o its efficiency. The heat released per stage will be used by the next stage. In this way, the teams device can convert the energy of sunlight into the energy of water evaporation with an efficiency of 385 percent.The device can be considered as a multilayer solar still（蒸馏器）. The heat is absorbed by
36、 its flat panels and then transferred to make water evaporate. The vapor then cools down and turns into liquid water on the next panel. As the water is collected, the released heat is transferred to the next layer.The teams 10-stage system produces pure water. Its quality is above the city drinking
37、water standards. It also has the highest yield compared to other similar systems , at a rate of nearly six cubic decimeter per hour for every square meter of the solar collecting area. The system is distinguished from some others by the fact that there is no accumulated salt to be got rid of. Most m
38、aterials of the demonstration （演示） unit dont cost much and are easy to get.Further experiments will be carried out on the device to optimize （优化） the choices of materials and test its durability under realistic conditions. Researchers will also work on the design of the device to make it more consum
39、er-friendly. It is expected that the system could finally help developing regions that are short of electricity supplies but rich in sea water and sunlight handle water crises.32. What contributes most to the high efficiency of the device?A. The choice of materials. B. The simplicity of the structur
40、e.C. The recycling of released heat. D. The use of multilayer equipment.33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. What the device is for. B. What makes the device.C. How the device works. D. How solar energy is collected.34. What makes the device different from other systems?A. Its zero accumulati

To reduce its cost. B. To check its performance in labs.C. To make it environment-friendly. D. To make it
