2．For several days I （Jane Eyre） saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening，I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips，and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him，he suddenly turned around and asked me， "Do you think I'm handsome，Miss Eyre？"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it： "No，sir."
"Ah.jye.ai are really unusual!You look like a quiet，serious little person，but you can be almost rude."
"Sir，I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances；I should have said that beauty doesn't matter，or something like that."
"No，you shouldn't!I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance（抵消）your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly，"Yes，you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you，and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character，but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this？Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to，because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me，Miss Eyre，" he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me，and laugh，and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage，you'll fly very high.Good night."

3．Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst （UMass Amherst） recently announced that they have figured out how to engineer a biofilm（生物膜）that harvests the energy in evaporation（蒸发）and changes it to electricity.This biofilm，which was announced in Nature Communications，has the potential to revolutionize the world of wearable electronics，powering everything from personal medical sensors to personal electronics.
'This is a very exciting technology，' says Liu Xiaomeng，graduate student in electrical and computer engineering in UMass Amherst's College of Engineering and the paper's lead author. "It generates real green energy，and unlike other so-called 'green-energy sources'，its production is totally green."
That's because this biofilm--which is a sheet of bacterial cells and as thin as a sheet of paper - is produced naturally by an engineered version of the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens.G.sulfurreducens is known to produce electricity and has been used previously in "microbial batteries" to power electrical equipment.But such batteries require that G.sulfurreducens be properly cared for and fed a constant diet.By contrast，this new biofilm，which can supply as much energy as a comparably sized battery，works continuously，because it is dead.And because it's dead，it doesn't need to be fed.
The secret behind this new biofilm is that it makes energy from the moisture（水分）on your skin.Though we daily read stories about solar power，at least 50% of the solar energy reaching the earth goes toward evaporating water. "This is a huge，undiscovered source of energy，" says Yao Jun，professor of electrical and computer engineering at UMass Amherst，and the paper's one senior author.Since the surface of our skin is constantly moist with sweat，the biofilm can "plug into" it and change the energy locked in evaporation into enough energy to power small equipment. "Our next step is to increase the size of our film to power more intelligent wearable electronics， " says Yao，and Liu points out that one of the goals is to power entire electronic systems，rather than single equipment.
（1）What function is the biofilm expected to achieve？
A．Updating wearable electronics
B．Changing the way of getting electricity
C．Acquiring power from evaporation
D．Supplying energy to microbial batteries
（2）What is the advantage of the biofilm compared with microbial batteries？
A．It's thinner in thickness
B．It's environmentally friendly
C．It requires a constant diet
D．It is more economical in usage
（3）How does the biofilm power small devices？
A．By producing continuous electricity from sweat
B．By gaining energy from electronic systems
C．By using water to generate electricity
D．By interacting with solar power
（4）Which of the following can NOT describes the biofilm？
A．Promising.
B．Vulnerable.
C．Flexible.
D．Practical组卷：1引用：1难度：0.5

9．A brother and sister made their usual hurried pre-Christmas visit to the little farm，where lived their elderly parents with their small herd（群）of horses.
The young folks had fond memories of their childhood here.Everything was perfect except the aging old horse， 'The Old One'.
Doubtfully，the young folks asked the old couple，"Why do you not at least get rid of "The Old One'？"
The old man looked down at his worn boots，holes in the toes，and replied softly，"We keep her because of love.Nothing else，just love."
Worried and confused，the young folks wished the old couple a Merry Christmas and headed back toward the city as darkness stole through the valley.
The old couple shook their heads in sorrow.A tear fell upon their cheeks.How was it that these young folks did not understand the peace of the love that filled their hearts？
Because of the unhappy leave-taking，no one noticed the first spark fall in the barn（马既）.None but the 'The Old One'.
In a matter of minutes，the barn was full of hungry flames.With a cry of horror and despair，the old couple sank sobbing to the ground，helpless.The barn was in ruins.
The old man turned to his wife，forcing a smile， "We have lost much.Let us gather strength and climb the hill to the old pine where we have sought comfort in times of despair and pray for our beloved 'The Old One'".
The journey up the hill was hard for their old bodies in the steep snow.As they got to the peak of the hill，the old man gave a cry of wonder and incredible joy.Amazed and puzzled，he took his wife by the hand and pulled her forward.There，beneath the pine tree was their Christmas gift— 'The Old One' lay close to the trunk of the tree，with the entire herd.
Paragraph 1：
As it turned out，the moment 'The Old One' saw the smoke，she pushed the door and led the horses through it._________
Paragraph 2：
Spotting the old couple， 'The Old One' seemed to be happy._________组卷：2引用：1难度：0.5
