A

A thief in the Asbury Park area of New Jersey ended up leaping out of a window after a 9-year-old girl asked him to prove he was Spiderman.

The thief who pretended he was Spiderman to stop a child raising the alarm was heavily drunken and has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.

Thief Ethan Adamson, 25, told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking session, believing it was empty.

But he was horrified when the owner’s 9-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.

From his hospital bed, the thief told reporters, “To keep her quiet, I told her I was really a superhero and I’d soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters.”

“She called my bluff (向…摊牌) and told me, ‘If you’re Superman, show me you can fly or I’ll scream’.

“I had no choice so I stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window. I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought. I know it doesn’t make sense but it did to me when I was drunk.”

Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises after a baffled neighbor heard his cries of pain.

He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.

Police spokesman Frank Armado said, “ He was in quite a serious state and couldn’t move until we got up there using ladders. He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes, before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.”

21. What’s the right order of the event?

a. Ethan Adamson attended a drinking session.

b. Ethan Adamson told reporters of the burglary.

c. Ethan Adamson leapt out of a window.

d. The 9-year-old girl called Ethan Adamson’s bluff.

A. adcb B. cabd C. dbca D.dcab

22.What does the underlined part in the passage mean?

A. I could make the girl trust me. B. I could prove I was a superhero.

C. I could land safely on the roof. D. I could make a successful escape.

23. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To call our attention to the burglary. B. To report on a joking burglary

C. To explain how the burglar was caught. D. To look back on an adventure story.

B

Recently，researchers has announced a breakthrough in the exploration of new energy—development of the first practical artificial leaf, an advanced solar cell that imitates the process，called photosynthesis(光合作用)，that green plants use to make sunlight and water into energy.

“A practical artificial leaf has been a dream of scientists for decades，”said Daniel Nocera，who led the research team．“We believe we have made it．The artificial leaf shows particular promise as an inexpensive source of electricity for homes of the poor in developing countries. One can imagine villages in India and Africa soon purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology．”

The leaf is like the shape of a poker card but thinner．Placed in water in a bright sunlight， it could produce enough electricity to supply a house in a developing country with electricity for a day by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, which are stored in a fuel cell to produce electricity．

The“artificial leaf”is not a new concept．The first artificial leaf was developed more than a decade ago by John Turner．However, it was impractical for wider use，as it was composed of rare，expensive metals and was highly unstable with a lifespan of barely one day．

Nocera’s new leaf overcomes these problems．It is made of inexpensive materials that are widely available，works under simple conditions and is highly stable．Laboratory studies showed that it could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity．

The key to this breakthrough is Nocera’s recent discovery of several new powerful， inexpensive catalysts，which are able to accelerate the chemical reaction under simple conditions．Right now, Nocera’s leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural leaf．Yet he is optimistic that he can boost the efficiency of the device much higher in the future．

24．Daniel Nocera describes his artificial leaf as promising in___________．

A．making an artificial plant that can feed itself．

B．finding a new kind of catalyst to produce electricity．

C．providing electricity for the poor family at a low cost

D．changing the sunlight and water into electricity directly

25．According to the passage, The underlined word“accelerate”in the last paragraph probably means ________．

A．reduce the loss of energy B．speed up the process

C．work as a media to store collected energy

D．control the operation of chemical reactions

26．We can learn from the passage ______．

A．There was nobody who had an idea of the artificial leaf before.

B．Nocera’s artificial leaf has advantages over Turner’s in some ways.

C．The first artificial leaf was once widely put into use in many countries.

D.The new artificial leaf works well but can just keep operating only one day.

27．The passage is most probably from _________．

A．a science news report B． a science fiction story

C．a fairy tale book D．an advertisement for solar products

C
