53、 least energy- efficient part. According to a 2009 report by the United Nations, buildings account for 40 percent of global energy usage, and windows are responsible for half of that energy consumption. If conventional windows are used to better block sunlight passing into a building, they need expe
54、nsive coatings. Even so, they can not adjust the indoor temperature effectively.Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU) have developed a smart liquid window panel that can help. By creating a mixture of micro-hydrogel (水凝胶), water, and a stabilizer, they found that it can
55、 effectively reduce energy consumption in a variety of climates. Thanks to the hydrogel, the mixture becomes hard-to-see- through when exposed to heat, thus blocking sunlight, and, when cool, it returns to its original clear state. The high heat capacity of water allows a large amount of heat energy
56、 to be stored instead of getting transferred through the glass and into the building during the hot daytime when office buildings mainly operate. The heat will then be gradually cooled and released at night when the staff are off duty.As a proof of concept, the scientists conducted outdoor tests in
57、hot (Singapore, Guangzhou) and cold (Beijing) environments. The Singapore test revealed that the smart liquid window had a lower temperature (50C) during the hottest time of the day (noon) compared to a normal glass window (84C), The Beijing tests showed that the room using the smart liquid window c
58、onsumed 11 percent less energy to maintain the same temperature compared to the room with a normal glass window. They also measured when the highest value of stored heat energy of the day occurred. This temperature peak in the normal glass window was 2 pm, and in the smart liquid window was shifted
59、to 3 pm. If this temperature peak shift leads to a shift in the time when a building needs to draw on electrical power to cool or warm the building, it should result in lower energy charges for users. The research team is seeking ways to cut down the cost of producing the smart window and so far, th
60、ey have found several industry partners to commercialize it.12. What is the disadvantage of conventional windows?A. They are expensive.B. They are not heatproof.C. They contribute less to energy saving.D. They cant block light into the building.13. How does a smart liquid window panel work to cool b
61、uildings?A. By taking in much of heat energy.B. By returning to its original clear state.C. By getting most of sunlight transferred.D. By spreading sunlight in different directions.14. According to paragraph 3, what is the value of the temperature peak shift?A. It will make the windows long-lasting.
62、B. It could help the building users reduce costs.C. It makes the buildings rely on no electrical power.D. It helps the windows maintain a constant temperature.15. What can we expect of the smart window in the future?A. It will be unaffordable.B. It needs to be further improved.C. It will be widely u
63、sed in the city.D. It will come onto the market soon.【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了智能液体窗面板。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章“Windows are a key component in a buildings design, but they are also the least energy- efficient part.(窗户是建筑设计中的一个重要组成部分,但也是最不节能的部分。)”可知,传统窗户的缺点是不节能。故选C项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章“
64、The high heat capacity of water allows a large amount of heat energy to be stored instead of getting transferred through the glass and into the building during the hot daytime when office buildings mainly operate.(水的高热容量使大量的热能得以储存,而不是在炎热的白天通过玻璃传递到建筑物中,而办公楼主要是在白天运行。)”可知,智能液体窗面板通过吸收大量热能来冷却建筑物。故选A项。【14
65、题详解】推理判断题。根据文章“the room using the smart liquid window consumed 11 percent less energy to maintain the same temperature compared to the room with a normal glass window.(使用智能液体窗的房间比使用普通玻璃窗的房间要少消耗11%的能量来保持相同的温度。)”以及下文“This temperature peak in the normal glass window was 2 pm, and in the smart liquid wi
66、ndow was shifted to 3 pm. If this temperature peak shift leads to a shift in the time when a building needs to draw on electrical power to cool or warm the building, it should result in lower energy charges for users. (正常玻璃窗的“温度峰值”为下午2点,智能液体窗的“温度峰值”为下午3点。如果这种温度峰值偏移导致建筑物需要用电来冷却或加热建筑物的时间发生偏移,则应该会降低用户的
67、电费。)”可推知,温度峰值偏移的价值是节约成本。故选B项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据文章“The research team is seeking ways to cut down the cost of producing the smart window and so far, they have found several industry partners to commercialize it.(该研究团队正在寻找降低智能窗生产成本的方法,到目前为止,他们已经找到了几个行业合作伙伴将其商业化。)”可知,研究团队已经找到了合作伙伴将其商业化。由此推知它应该很快就会上市。故选D项。第

(生活中总会发生一些事情)”及下文“We neither see the difficulties coming, nor have control to stop them.(我们既看不到困难的到来,也没有能力阻止它们)”可知,生活中总会发生一些我们无法预测和控制的困难事情。由此可知,D项And often, difficult stuff ha
75、ppens. (经常会发生困难的事情)符合题意,其中stuff是关键词,选项中的difficult stuff对应下文中的difficulties。故选D。【17题详解】根据上文中的“When life becomes messy, it often feels easier to just throw up our hands and assume we cant do anything. (当生活变得一团糟时,我们更容易放手,认为自己什么都做不了)”及下文“Being a victim often allows us to pretend we are fine and choose to
76、 feel sorry for ourselves.(成为受害者常常让我们假装自己很好,并选择为自己感到难过)”可知,此处在介绍一种受害者模式的表现。由此可知,C项This is a form of victim mode. (这是受害者模式的一种形式)符合题意,其中victim是关键词。故选C。【18题详解】根据下文中的“Writing things down on paper can be an amazing way to make the facts clear and keep them straight. The process of moving thought to hand
77、makes it harder for us to lie to ourselves. The more we get to the truth of our situation, the more we can source ways to deal with it.
