glasstofocussunlightintoasmall,hotpointoflight.(加州理工学院的研究小组已经找到了一种方法来控制大量微波的时间，这样它们就可以结合它们的能量，并将能量集中在一个方向上。这有点像用放大镜把太阳光聚焦成一个小的热点)”可知，加州理工学院的团队通过控制微波的时间来集中太阳能。故选C项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr.Hajimiri,oneoftheproject’sleaders,thinksthatoneday,thesystemcouldbeextremelyuseful,bringingenergytoplacesthatneedit,allovertheworld.Hebelievesthatinthefuture,we’llbeabletosendenergytoremoteregionsandareasdestroyedbywarornaturaldisaster.(Hajimiri博士是该项目的领导者之一，他认为有一天，这个系统会非常有用，把能源带到世界各地需要它的地方。他相信，在未来，我们将能够向偏远地区和被战争或自然灾害摧毁的地区输送能源)”可知，根据Hajimiri博士的说法，这个系统在未来会向急需能源的地区输送能源。故选D项。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Imaginebeingabletouseenergyfromthesunallthetime,evenwhenit’snight.That’stheideathatscientistsatCaltech（CaliforniaInstituteofTechnology）areexploring.They’reworkingoncollectingsunlightinspaceandsendingitsenergytoEarth.(想象一下，可以一直使用太阳能，即使是在晚上。这就是加州理工学院(Caltech)的科学家们正在探索的想法。他们正致力于在太空中收集阳光并将其能量发送到地球)”以及纵观全文可知，主要讨论了使用Caltech科学家创造的特殊工具MAPLE从太空向地球无线传输能源的可能性，所以D项“ThePossibilityofSendingEnergyWirelesslyfromSpacetoEarth(从太空向地球无线传输能量的可能性)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。DOnthestreetsofManhattanandWashington,D.C.,inneighborhoodsinSeoulandparksinParis,ginkgo(银杏)treesarelosingtheirleavesinreactiontothefirstgustofcoldwinterair.Thisleafdrop,gradualatfirst,andthensudden,carpetsstreetswithgolden,fan-shapedleaves.Scientistsaredocumentingevidenceoftheeventhappeninglaterandlater,apossibleindicationofclimatechange.Butthestoryofginkgosisnotthefamiliaroneofhumancarelessnesswithnature.ThankstofossilsfoundinNorthDakota,scientistsfoundaginkgohasgeneticallysimilarancestorsdatingback170millionyearstotheJurassicPeriod.“Italmostwentextinct.Thenhumansrescueditandspreaditaroundtheworld.It’ssuchagreatevolutionary(进化)andculturalstory,”saysPeterCrane,aginkgoexpert.Onetheoryforthedeclineoftheginkgospeciesbegan130millionyearsago,whenfloweringplantsbeganspreading.Theygrewfasterandattractedmorepollinators(传粉者)thanginkgos.“It’spossiblethatginkgoswereelbowedoutoftheway,”saysCrane.Alreadycompetingtosurvive,ginkgosbegantodisappearduringatimeofglobalcoolingthatbeganaround66millionyearsago.Bythetimethelasticeageended11,000yearsago,theremainingsurvivorswerefoundinChina.Ginkgotreesaresmelly.“Myguessisthattheywereeatenbyanimalsthatlikedsmellythings.Theythenpassedthroughtheirbodyandgrew.”Cranesays.Thosesameseedsmayhavehelpedginkgofindfavorwithhumans1,000yearsago.Oncecleanedoftheirouterlayer,ginkgoseedsaresafetoeat.It’sthen,whenthetreeshadlongsincedisappearedelsewhere,thatpeopleinChinamayhavebegunplantingthemandeatingtheirseeds.Thengraduallyginkgosspreadacrosstheworld.Nowit’sseeminglynaturallyresistanttoinsectsandhighlevelsofairpollution.Craneisn’tworriedaboutitsfuture,though:Thepopularityofthespecieswillhelpitsurvive.“Thoughitsstatusinthewildmaybedifficulttoaccess,it’saplantthat’sunlikelytoevergoextinct,”hesays.12.Whatmayhavecausedthefurtherdelayofginkgo’sleafdrop?A.Thecolderweatherinwinter.B.Theprotectionfromcitycouncils.C.Theglobalwarmingphenomenon.D.Thecarelessinteractionwithhumans.13.Whatdoesparagraph3mainlytalkabout?A.Thereasonswhyginkgosalmostdiedout.B.Theadvantagesofginkgosoverotherplants.C.Thetheoriesofexpertsformultiplyingginkgos.D.Thecompetitionbetweenvariousfloweringplants.14.Whatmighthavecontributedtoginkgos’survival?A.Theireatableseeds.

D.Hopeless.【答案】12.C13.A14.A15.B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了银杏树的历史、特点、传播以及现状，通过科学家和专家的观点和研究来阐述银杏树在自然界和人类文化中的重要地位，同时也探讨了银杏树面临的一些挑战和未来发展的趋势。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientistsaredocumentingevidenceoftheeventhappeninglaterandlater,apossibleindicationofclimatechange.(科学家们正在记录这一事件发生得越来越晚的证据，这可能是气候变化的一个迹象)”可推知，全球变暖现象可能是导致银杏落叶时间进一步推迟的原因。故选C项。【13题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段“Onetheoryforthedeclineoftheginkgospeciesbegan130millionyearsago,whenfloweringplantsbeganspreading.Theygrewfasterandattractedmorepollinators(传粉者)thanginkgos.“It’spossiblethatginkgoswereelbowedoutoftheway,”saysCrane.Alreadycompetingtosurvive,ginkgosbegantodisappearduringatimeofglobalcoolingthatbeganaround66millionyearsago.Bythetimethelasticeageended11,000yearsago,theremainingsurvivorswerefoundinChina.(关于银杏物种衰落的一种理论始于1.3亿年前，当时开花植物开始传播。它们的生长速度比银杏快，吸引了更多的传粉者。“有可能银杏被挤出了生存的道路，”克雷恩说。已经在为生存而竞争的银杏，在全球变冷时期开始消失，这一时期大约始于6600万年前。到最后一个冰河时代结束前的11000年，剩下的幸存者在中国被发现)”可知，本段主要讲述了银杏树几乎灭绝的原因，包括与其他植物的竞争以及全球变冷等因素。因此，本段的主要内容是关于银杏树几乎灭绝的原因。故选A项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Thosesameseedsmayhavehelpedginkgofindfavorwithhumans1,000yearsago.Oncecleanedoftheirouterlayer,ginkgoseedsaresafetoeat.It’sthen,whenthetreeshadlongsincedisappearedelsewhere,thatpeopleinChinamayhavebegunplantingthemandeatingtheirseeds.Thengraduallyginkgosspreadacrosstheworld.Nowit’sseeminglynaturallyresistanttoinsectsandhighlevelsofairpollution.(同样的种子可能在1000年前帮助银杏赢得了人类的青睐。一旦去掉外层，银杏种子就可以安全食用。然后，当这些树在其他地方早已消失的时候，中国人可能已经开始种植它们并食用它们的种子。然后银杏逐渐传播到世界各地。现在它似乎对昆虫和高水平的空气污染具有天然的抵抗力)”可知，银杏树能够生存下来，部分原因是因为它们的种子可以被人类食用。故选A项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Craneisn’tworriedaboutitsfuture,though:Thepopularityofthespecieswillhelpitsurvive.“Thoughitsstatusinthewildmaybedifficulttoaccess,it’saplantthat’sunlikelytoevergoextinct,”hesays.(不过，克雷恩并不担心它的未来：这个物种的受欢迎程度将有助于它的生存。“尽管它在野外的地位可能难以评估，但它是一种不太可能灭绝的植物，”他说)”可知，专家Crane对银杏树的未来并不担心，认为这个物种的受欢迎程度将有助于它的生存。由此推知，Crane对银杏的未来是乐观的。故选B想。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Readinganewstoryaloneisoftenagreatwaytorelax.However,sometimesyoujustwanttodiscusswhatyou’vereadwithanotherpersontobringthoseideasoffthepageandintotheworld.____16____First,findmembers.Whenyoubeginsearchingforyourbookclubmembers,lookintheplacesinyourlifethatfeelmostnaturaltoyou.____17____Then,maybeit’spostinganoticeonthebulletinboardofyourlocallibraryorbookstore.Ifyou’relookingto“getarangeofperspectives”fromyourclub,youmaywanttoconsiderlookingforadiverserangeofagesandgenders.Theycanbringtheirvariedworldviewstodiscussions.____18____Willyourtimetogetherbespentlargelyfocusingonthenovelathand,orwillrefreshmentsultimatelybethemostimportant?There’sthetypicalfriendsgatheringatsomeone’sapartmentandhavingcheeseandwineapproach.Butoftentimes,peoplewillbefrustratedbecausetheyjustturnintoasocialeventratherthanfocusingonthebook.Inordertomakesureyournewgroupisallonthesamepage,takethetimetodiscusswhatyouwanttogetoutofregularclubgatheringsbeforeyourfirstofficialmeeting.Pickingbooksmayseemlikethetrickiestpart.Booksthatworkreallywellareonesthatallowyoutoreflectonself.Theyhavealotofentrypointsforpeoplesotheyprobablyhaveagoodsetting.Thepacingissolid.There’sgreatcharacterdevelopmentandthelanguagedoesn’tgetinthewayofthestory.____19____Beforeyourmeetings,listsomediscussionquestions.Remembertocomeupwithquestionsdependingonyourbook’sgenre:romance,mystery,thrillerandsoon.____20____Forexample,youmayaskwhichscenehasstuckwiththemthemostorwhetherthereareanystandoutsentences.A.Itisnecessarytosetsomegroupguidelines.B.Here’salookoffourofourfavoritesbelow.C.Tostart,reachouttoyourfriendswholovetoread.D.Therearealsogeneralquestionsyoucanstartoutwith.E.Youcannevergowrongwiththebestsellerlisttogettheballrolling.F.Choosesomethingwiththatcriteriaandyoucanpleaseallkindsofreaders.G.Ifyou’veeverhadtheurgetostartabookclub,it’seasierthanyoumightthink.【答案】16.G17.C18.A19.F20.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍如何创办读书俱乐部。【16题详解】根据上文“Readinganewstoryaloneisoftenagreatwaytorelax.However,sometimesyoujustwanttodiscusswhatyou’vereadwithanotherpersontobringthoseideasoffthepageandintotheworld.(独自读一个新故事通常是一种很好的放松方式。然而，有时候你只是想和另一个人讨论一下你读到的东西，把这些想法从书页上带到现实生活中。)”以及下文“First,findmembers.Whenyoubeginsearchingforyourbookclubmembers,lookintheplacesinyourlifethatfeelmostnaturaltoyou.(首先，寻找成员。当你开始寻找你的读书俱乐部成员时，看看你生活中感觉最自然的地方。)”可推知设空处应该是关于组建读书俱乐部和其他人分享想法，所以G选项“如果你曾经有过创办读书俱乐部的冲动，这比你想象的要容易得多。”符合题意，承上启下，故选G。【17题详解】根据小标题“First,findmembers.(首先，寻找成员。)”可知本段主要关于如何寻找成员的，再根据上文“Whenyoubeginsearchingforyourbookclubmembers,lookintheplacesinyourlifethatfeelmostnaturaltoyou.(当你开始寻找你的读书俱乐部成员时，看看你生活中感觉最自然的地方。)”可知寻找俱乐部成员可以从身边入手，C选项“首先，和你喜欢阅读的朋友们联系。”符合本段主旨，承接上文，故选C。【18题详解】设空处为本段小标题。根据下文“Willyourtimetogetherbespentlargelyfocusingonthenovelathand,orwillrefreshmentsultimatelybethemostimportant?There’sthetypicalfriendsgatheringatsomeone’sapartmentandhavingcheeseandwineapproach.Butoftentimes,peoplewillbefrustratedbecausetheyjustturnintoasocialeventratherthanfocusingonthebook.Inordertomakesureyournewgroupisallonthesamepage,takethetimetodiscusswhatyouwanttogetoutofregularclubgatheringsbeforeyourfirstofficialmeeting.(你们在一起的时间会主要集中在手头的小说上，还是茶点
