Commerci
33、al devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half of the expectation. Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If larger versions work as well, they would help make it possibleor at least more affordableto run the world on renewables.The market
34、for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States: in 2017, that number was 8%, according to the U. S. Energy Information Administration. But the demand for electricity often doesnt match the supply from solar and wind
35、. In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students return home.Some companies are beginning to install massive rows of batteries in hopes of storing extra energy and balancing the fina
36、ncial sheet. But batteries are costly and store only enough energy to back up the power system for a few hours at most. Another option is to store the energy by transforming it into hydrogen fuel. Devices called electrolyzers (电解器) do this by using electricityideally from solar and wind powerto brea
37、k down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, a carbon-free fuel. A second set of devices called fuel cells can then transform that hydrogen back to electricity to power cars, trucks, and buses, or to feed it to the power system. But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts (催化剂)
38、 to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device can t do both jobs. The researchers must conquer this.“They did a really good job with that.” says Sossina Haile, a chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston. Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the one from the O
39、Hayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a societal impact, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.8. What can we learn about the new device from the first paragraph?A. Its universal use remains to be s

42、fuel without using electricity.11. What is Hailes attitude to the future of the new device?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Critical.D. Cautious.【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇科普说明文。文章主要介绍一种能够转化可再生能源的新装置。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If la
43、rger versions work as well, they would help make it possibleor at least more affordableto run the world on renewables.”可知，现在，研究人员已经创造出了同时具备这两种功能的实验室规模的设备。如果更大的版本也能发挥作用，它们将有助于使世界上使用可再生能源成为可能或者至少更经济实惠。所以通过关键词“ small lab-scale devices ，if引导的条件状语从从句”可以推断出，这种新装置大规模地投入使用还需拭目以待。故选A项。【9题详解】主旨大意题。由第二段“The ma
44、rket for such technologies has grown along with renewables”可知，这类技术的市场随着可再生能源的发展而增长以及对市场增长的具体介绍可知，第二段主要说明这个新装置潜在的市场很大。故选B项。【10题详解】推理判断题。由第三段“But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts (催化剂) to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device can t do both jobs. The researc
45、hers must conquer this.”可知，但是商业电解器和燃料电池用不同的催化剂加速这两种反应，这意味着一个设备不能同时做这两件事。研究人员必须攻克这个难题。这个难题是必须攻克的，也是研究人员下一步要集中解决的问题。所以推断出，接下来研究人员会主攻这两种反应能够共用的催化剂。故选C项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the one from the OHayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For
46、the technology to have a societal impact, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.”可知，不过，她提醒说，她的新设备和来自奥海雷实验室小型的实验室演示。为了让这项技术产生社会影响，研究人员需要增加这种纽扣大小设备的产量，但是这一过程通常会降低其性能。所以通过Haile的观点可以推断出，她对这个新装置的未来持谨慎的态度，虽然实验室成功了，但并不代表量产就没有问题。没有盲目自信也没有消极放弃
47、。故选D项。【点睛】根据文章中人物所说的话的内容是解决推理判断题的重要方法，因为通过所说的内容，我们可以判断出，作者所要想表达的观点是积极的还是消极的，是中立的还是支持或者否定某一方，对事情是关心的还是冷漠的。是在提出建议还是在提出具体的解决措施。根据最后一段“Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the one from the OHayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a societal impa
48、ct, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.”可知，不过，她提醒说，她的新设备和来自奥海雷实验室小型的实验室演示。为了让这项技术产生社会影响，研究人员需要增加这种纽扣大小设备的产量，但是这一过程通常会降低其性能。所以通过Haile的观点可以推断出，她对这个新装置的未来持谨慎的态度，虽然实验室成功了，但并不代表量产就有没问题。没有盲目自信也没有消极放弃。故小题4选D项。DIt is a question that has long puzzled scientistsexactly why are tigers or
