2、t Solar photovoltaic thermal energy systems or PVTs, generate both heat and electricity, but until now they havent been very good at the heat-generating part compared to a stand-alone solar thermal collector. Thats because they operate at low temperatures to cool crystalline silicon solar cells, whi

3、ch lets the silicon generate more electricity but isnt a very efficient way to gather heat. Thats a problem of economics. Good solar hot-water systems can harvest much more energy than a solar-electric system at a substantially lower cost. And its also a space problem: photovoltaic cells can take up

4、 all the space on the roof, leaving little rooms for thermal applications. In a pair of studies, Joshua Pearce, an associate professor of materials science and engineering, has devised a solution in the form of a better PVT made with a different kind of silicon. His research collaborators are Kunal

5、Girotra from ThinSilicon in California and Michael Pathak and Stephen Harrison from Queens University, Canada. Most solar panels are made with crystalline silicon, but you can also make solar cells out of amorphous silicon, commonly known as thin-film silicon, They dont create as much electricity, b

6、ut they are lighter, flexible , and cheaper:. And, because they require much less silicon, they have a greener footprint. Unfortunately, thin-film silicon solar cells are vulnerable as some bad-newsphysics in the form of the Staebler-Wronski effect. That means that their efficiency drops when you ex

7、pose them to light - pretty much the worst possible effect for a solar cell, Pearce explains, which is one of the reasons thin-film solar panels make up only small fraction of the market. However, Pearce and his team found a way to engineer around the Stacbler-Wronski effect by incorporating thin-fi

In fact, Pearces group discovered that by heating it to solar-thermal operating temperatures, near the boiling point of water, they could make thicker cells that largely overcame the Staebler-Wronski effec

9、t. When they applied the thin-film silicon directly to a solar thermal energy collector, they also found that by baking the cell once a day, they boosted the solar cells electrical efficiency by over 10 percent.+第十四篇Sharks Perform a Service for Earths Waters（A级）鲨鱼有益于地球水系It is hard to get people to t

10、hink of sharks as anything but a deadly enemy. They are thought toattack people frequently. But these fishperform avaluable service for earths waters and for human beings. Yet business and sport fishing3are threatening theirexistence. Some sharks are at risk of disappearing fromEarthWarm weather may

11、 influence both fish and shark activity. Many fish swim near coastal areasbecause of their warm waters. Experts say sharks may follow the fish into the same areas,where people also swim. In fact, most sharks do not purposely charge at or bite humans. They are thought to mistake a personfor a sea ani

12、mal, such as a seal or sea lion. That is why people should not swim in the ocean when the sun goes down or comes up. Those are thetimes when sharks are looking for food. Experts also say that bright colors and shiny jewelry may cause sharks to attack.A shark has an extremely good sense of smell4. It

13、 can find small amounts of substances in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicalsproduced by animals. These powerfulsenses help sharks find their food. Sharks eat fish, anyother sharks, and plants that live in the ocean.Medical researchers want to learn more about the sharks body defense, an

They study the shark in hopes of finding a way to fight human disease.Sharks are important for the worldsoceans. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fi

This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.+第十五篇 “Liquefaction” Key to Much of Japanese Earthquake Damage（A级） The massive subduction zone1 earthquake in Japan caused a significant level of soil liquefaction2 that has surprised

16、 researchers with its widespread severity, a new analysis shows.Weve seen localized3 examples of soil liquefaction as extreme as this before, but the distance and extent of damage in Japan were unusually severe, said Scott Ashford, a professor of geotechnical engineering4 at Oregon State University5

17、. Entire structures were tilted and sinking into the sediments, Ashford said. The shifts in soil destroyed water, drain and gas pipelines6, crippling the utilities and infrastructure these communities need to function. We saw some places that sank as much as four feet.Some degree of soil liquefactio

18、n7 is common in almost any major earthquake. Its a phenomenon in which soils soaked with water, particularly recent sediments or sand, can lose much of their strength and flow during an earthquake. This can allow structures to shift or sink or collapse. But most earthquakes are much shorter than the

19、 recent event in Japan, Ashford said. The length of the Japanese earthquake, as much as five minutes, may force researchers to reconsider the extent of liquefaction damage possibly occurring in situations such as this8.With such a long-lasting earthquake, we saw how structures that might have been o

20、kay after 30 seconds just continued to sink and tilt as the shaking continued for several more minutes, he said. And it was clear that younger sediments, and especially areas built on recently filled ground, are much more vulnerable.The data provided by analyzing the Japanese earthquake, researchers

21、 said, should make it possible to improve the understanding of this soil phenomenon and better prepare for it in the future. Ashford said it was critical for the team to collect the information quickly, before damage was removed in the recovery efforts9.Theres no doubt that well learn things from wh

22、at happened in Japan10 that11 will help us to reduce risks in other similar events, Ashford said. Future construction in some places may make more use of techniques known to reduce liquefaction, such as better compaction to make soils dense, or use of reinforcing stone columns.Ashford pointed out th

23、at northern California have younger soils vulnerable to liquefaction -on the coast, near river deposits or in areas with filled ground. The young sediments, in geologic terms, may be those deposited within the past 10,000 years or more. In Oregon, for instance, that describes much of downtown Portla

24、nd, the Portland International Airport and other cities.Anything near a river and old flood plains is a suspect12, and the Oregon Department of Transportation has already concluded that 1,100 bridges in the state are at risk from an earthquake. Fewer than 15 percent of them have been reinforced to p

25、revent collapse. Japan has suffered tremendous losses in the March 11 earthquake, but Japanese construction standards helped prevent many buildings from collapse -even as they tilted and sank into the ground.完形填空 A级+第十三篇：Better Solar Energy Systems: More Heat, More Light（A级）+第十四篇Sharks Perform a Ser

41、ood at the heat-generating part compared to a stand-alone solar thermal collector.该句意为：与太阳热能单机集热器相比直到现在，传统太阳能光伏热能系统在转换热能方面效率一直不是很高。2. A 本句说明了以往的太阳能光伏热能系统在转换热能方面效率低的原因, “to cool crystalline silicon solar cells( 冷却晶体硅太阳能电池) ” 能产生更多的电能，但不利于收集热能。electricity 是答案。3. C 从上一段和本段的意思判断，收集热能效率低下不会是一个动力学(dynamic

42、s）问题，地质( geology) 问题或生物学( biology ) 问题。它是一个经济上的问题。答案是economics.4. B 本句说，good solar hot-water systems 在收获能量方面比solar-electric system 要好得多。从经济学的角度上分析，成本就降低了。所以，选cost 是对的。其他选项reward ，bill和pay均不符合句意.5. B 上一段说光伏电池系统有两个问题. 即经济问题和空间问题。Joshua Pearce 采用另外一种硅制造PVT来解决上述问题。通过上述分析可以看出，他寻求的是一种解决问题的办法( solution ) ，

43、而不是一个决定( decision) 、一个建议( suggestion ) 或一种资格( qualification）。6.C amorphous silicon ( 非晶硅) 即为thin-fi1m silicon ( 薄膜硅) 。选择roughly/probably/wrongly ( known as thin-film silicon ) 表达的意思都不合逻辑。选commonly才合理。“amorphous silicon，commonly known as thin-film silicon”意为“非晶硅，通常被称为薄膜硅。7. D 新型的太阳能电池采用薄膜硅制造，电能的转换量虽然

44、不如晶体硅太阳能池，但薄膜硅太阳能电池用硅量小，比较环保。本题应选用require ，理由是：require much less silicon 与上下文的意思很连贯，而retrieve much less silicon ( 提取少得多的硅) merge much less silicon ( 混合少得多的硅) 或exchange much less silicon ( 交换少得多的硅) 都讲不通，意思离题太远。8.A bad-news physics 是解题的关键词。既然是bad-news physics，所连用的形容词应该是负面意义的词。四个选项中只有vulnerable ( 易受攻击的

45、) 符合这个条件， 所以是答案。9.D 本段第一句说明vulnerable 的具体情况。既然是vulnerable ，efficiency 一定是drops，不会是rises。efficiency works(效率起作用)或efficiency counts（效率有重要意义)都离题太远。10. C 薄膜硅太阳能电池效能低下，这是因。导致该产品市场占有份额很小，这是果。 选reasons 为答案很合理。11.C 为了克服SWE. 效应Pearce 和他的团队悉心改进光伏太阳热能系统的结构。作者要写的应该是a new type of PVT( 一种新型PVT) ，不会是a new shape/si

46、ze/brand PVT( 一种新形状的/新尺寸的/新品牌的PVT)。12.B 从上下文判断，答案应该是point。将thin-film silicon 加热到solar-thermal operating temperatures 就是加热到near the boiling point of water ( 临近水的沸点) 。其他选项area，place 和extent 均不切题.13. 从上下文判断，采用加热thin-film silicon 的方法，就能消除SWE 效应。四个选项中只有overcame 表达了这层意思。14.D 答案是collector，因为solar thermal energy collector( 太阳能
