Somewhere between her first stop in Turkey and her final destinationa yoga retreat(静居所) in Mazunte, Mexico she found
12、 a new perspective. In Nepal, climbing the 5,400m Gokyo Ri in the Himalayas, Halloran broke her walking stick. She has osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), which makes bones more likely to break, so the stick was essential in the mountains. Losing it was a blow, but she found reserves of inner strength. Now, she s
13、ays:“Whenever I get scared, I think of myself on top of that mountain, looking out over Gokyo Lakes and beyond those, Qomolangma. I say, if you can do that, you can do anything.” Since the backpacking adventure, she understands more fully the role that work has played in her life for so long. “Work

18、archers imagine it might be possible to transform the worlds largest desert, the Sahara, into a large solar farm, capable of meeting four times the worlds current energy demand. While the black surfaces of solar panels absorb most of the sunlight that reaches them, only around15% of that incoming en
19、ergy gets turned into electricity. The rest is returned to the environment as heat, affecting the climate. If these effects were only local, they might not matter in a thinly populated desert. But the area of the installations(安装) in the Sahara would be vast, covering thousands of square miles. Heat
20、 released from an area this size will be redistributed by the flow of air in the atmosphere, having regional and even global effects on the climate.A 2018 study used a climate model to assess the effects of building massive solar farms in the Sahara. The model revealed that when the size of the sola
21、r farm reaches 20% of the total area of the Sahara, the heat released by the darker solar panels creates a big temperature difference between the land and the surrounding oceans that ultimately lowers surface air pressure and causes wet air to rise and condense (凝结) into raindrops. With more rainfal
22、l, plants grow and the desert reflects less of the suns energy since vegetation absorbs light better than sand and soil. With more plants present, more water is evaporated (蒸发), creating a better environment that causes vegetation to spread. So, a large solar farm could generate enough energy and at
23、 the same time turn one of the most abominable environments on Earth into a habitable place. Sounds perfect, right? Not quite. In a recent study, we used an advanced Earth system model to closely examine how Saharan solar farms interact with the climate. It showed there could be unintended effects o
24、n remote parts of the land and ocean. We are only beginning to understand the potential consequences of establishing massive solar farms in deserts. Solutions like this may help society reduce the use of fossil (化石) energy, but Earth system studies like ours underscore the importance of considering
25、the numerous coupled responses of the atmosphere, oceans, and land surface when examining their benefits and risks.28. What can be learned about solar farms?A. They can affect the local climate.B. They are mainly located in deserts.C. They can make the best use of incoming energy.D. They satisfy the
26、 worlds current energy demand.29. What will happen to the Sahara if 20% of the Sahara is covered with solar panels according to the 2018 study?A. It might reflect more sunlight.B. It might become greener.C. Its surface air pressure will increase.D. Its temperature difference between day and night wi
27、ll decrease.30. What does the underlined word“abominable” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Dynamic. B. Sensitive.C. Unpleasant. D. Competitive.31. What does the author think of turning the Sahara into a solar farm?A. It is an impossible task.B. It calls for more consideration.C. It will do more good than harm
28、.D. It might be the solution to fossil fuel pollution.D The measurement of blood pressure goes back almost three centuries, leading to the procedure that we all know and that our family doctor performs when we have check-ups: A cuff (袖口) goes around our arm, which is first inflated (膨胀), and then de
29、flated (放气), in a controlled manner, to determine our maximum and minimum blood pressure. But the use of inflatable-cuff blood pressure monitors has some disadvantages. For one thing, unless people have home monitors, they must go to a chemistry shop, doctors office or health center to learn what th
30、eir blood pressure is. Another barrier is that repeated inflation and deflation of the cuff can cause difficulties when, for example, a patient is in the hospital and needs frequent blood pressure monitoring. And the last one is that since cuffs dont allow continuous measurement of blood pressure, t
31、hey re only providing a measurement at a specific moment. Today, a new generation of blood pressure measuring devices have been developed and their aim is to make it easier to judge high blood pressure. Unlike traditional devices, they do without the arm cuff and offer blood pressure values on deman
32、d. Users just press their finger on a sensor on a watch and ring. The various cuffless measuring devices are based on methods that, instead of directly determining blood pressure, they use sensors to capture various indirect signals. These signals are processed by different sets of mathematical proc
33、edures to obtain the blood pressure values. It is like inferring fever by measuring an increase in heart beat and sweating instead of using a thermometer (体温计), or divining the result of a soccer match from outside the stadium by listening to the screams of the soccer fans. The development of device
34、s for measuring blood pressure without a blood pressure cuff is progressing rapidly, but that doesnt mean they are ready to be used to make diagnostic and treatment decisions. “The road to clinical application may be some day in the near future, but not now,” says Avolio, a biomedical engineer.32. H
35、ow many drawbacks of inflatable-cuff blood pressure monitors are mentioned in the text?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.33. What does the underlined word“divining” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Changing. B. Describing.C. Guessing. D. Remembering.34. Whats the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The working
36、principle of cuffless measuring devices.B. The different methods for setting mathematical procedures.C. The way of cuffless measuring devices to measure direct signals.D. The connection between inferring fever and measuring blood pressure.35. What will the writer most probably talk about on cuffless
37、 measuring devices next?A. The issue of mass-producing them.B. The processing techniques of them.C. The competitive intensity among their producers.D. The reasons for them not being used in the medical world currently.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。 Recently, a t
