2．I was sitting in a chemistry lab class during my first year of university，nervous about the experiment we were to perform.I grabbed a pipette （吸液管）and，as I feared，my hand started to shake.The experience was disheartening：I was hoping to pursue a career in science，but I started to wonder whether that would be possible.I thought my dreams had crashed to the ground.
I was a boy born with brain damage.My family managed to find good doctors where we lived，in Leningrad （now St.Petersburg），Russia，and I took part in clinical trials testing new treatments.Shortly after my first birthday，I started walking and it became clear my intelligence function was unaffected.So，in some sense，I was lucky.Still，I couldn't do some things growing up.Both hands shook，especially when I was nervous or embarrassed.My left hand was much worse than my right，so I learned to write and do simple tasks with my right hand，but it wasn't easy to do anything precisely.
As a teenager，I faced a lot of bullying at school.Feeling alone，I joined a study group called "The natural world".I thought that getting into the world of animals would keep me away from people.That's how I came into the field of biology.At university，I enjoyed the lectures in my science classes.Many lab tasks proved impossible，however.As I struggled with my mood，I read a book about depression.From then on，the physiology of mental disorders became my scientific passion.I looked into what was being done locally and was excited to discover a lab that did behavioral experiments in rats to study depression.
At the end of my second year，I approached the professor of the lab to see whether I could work with her.I was afraid to admit I couldn't do some lab tasks.To my relief，she was completely supportive.She set me to work performing behavioral experiments for others in the lab with the help of colleagues.I loved the supportive atmosphere and stayed there to complete my master's and Ph.D.
I've come to realize that my hands aren't the barrier I thought they were.By making use of my abilities and working as part of a team，I've been able to follow my passions.I've also realized that there's much more to being a scientist than performing the physical labor.I may not collect all the data in my papers，but I'm fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results，which，to me，is the most exciting part of science.
（1）What was the author's dream？
A．To live a normal life.
B．To become a scientist.
C．To get a master's degree.
D．To recover from depression.
（2）The author said he was lucky in Paragraph 2 because.
A．he didn't lose the function of both hands
B．he learned how to walk at the age of one
C．his family could afford to see good doctors
D．his brain damage didn't affect his intellectual capacity
（3）From the passage，it is clear that.
A．the author's own depression inspired him to help others with mental disorders
B．the author was surrounded by a team who urged him to further his study
C．the author's loneliness moved him towards the world of biology
D．the author finally finished the lab tasks on his own
（4）What message does the author want to express？
A．Loving yourself makes a difference.
B．Opportunity follows prepared people.
C．A bright future begins with a small dream.
D．The sun somehow shines trough the storm.組卷：35引用：4難度：0.5 -
3．A team of researchers at ETH Zurich has the perfect long-lasting solution to our fog problem.They have developed a very thin and gold-based transparent costing（涂層）that can convert sunlight into heat，which can be applied to glass and other surfaces to prevent them from fogging.
The special coating is developed using titanium oxide and gold particles.It selectively absorbs infrared radiations（紅外線照射）from the sunlight and creates a heating effect that is powerful enough to keep fog away from the surface of an object.The coating basically employs heat to stop fogging.The coating absorbs a large part of the infrared radiation，which causes it to heat up—by up to 8℃.
Previously，products like anti-fogging sprays create a very thin film of water on the surface to remove fog.The problem with such surfaces is pollution.Along with water，the sprays also attract dirt，dust，oil，and various other dirty substances，and just a little dirt on the surface makes it useless.However，the new-coating repels（排斥）water.Furthermore，the coating is significantly thinner，which makes it more transparent as well as flexible.It is heated passively and requires，during daytime，no additional energy source.
Gold might be expensive，but the researchers stress that their coating requires so little that the material costs remain low.Their coating is produced with standardized and readily scalable methods，all cost-effectively.However，although this product can work at very low levels of solar irradiation，it does rely on a certain amount of light.
The researchers will develop the coating further for other applications.In the process，they will examine whether other metals work just as well as gold.There is no need to fear，however，this would cause a car or a building to heat up more in the summer.The researchers have already filed a patent.Hopefully，this groundbreaking product will soon be available on the market.
（1）How does the new coating work to remove fog？
A．By reflecting part of sunlight selectively.
B．By keeping cool air away from the object.
C．By creating a thin film of water on the surface.
D．By absorbing infrared radiations to heat the coating.
（2）Why does the author mention previous anti-fogging products？
A．To stress the advantages of the new coating.
B．To introduce the inspiration behind the new costing.
C．To prove the difficulty of creating anti-fogging products.
D．To explain the reason for the anti-fogging coating being popular.
（3）What is the limitation of the new coating？
A．It is considerably expensive.
B．It depends on sunlight to work.
C．It takes too much time to produce.
D．It is difficult to clean and maintain.
（4）What do the researchers plan to do next
A．Seek more materials as the coating.
B．Apply for a patent for the invention.
C．Develop the product for more practical uses.
D．Explore the environmental impact of the coating.組卷：22引用：11難度：0.3

9．A long time ago，when I worked in Ahmedabad，we would often drive to Mount Abu for short trips-it took us anywhere between seven to eight hours to drive up.That year，my close relatives were visiting from Lucknow during the holidays，and we made a plan to visit Abu for three days.Since there were seven of us，including my brother's family who also lived in Ahmedabad，we hired two cabs.We picked ourselves into the vehicles，stacked （堆放） our luggage on the carriers on top and started out.
Soon it was time to return.During the journey back，we stopped at a Dhaba for tea and snacks near the Mehana district.That's when I noticed suddenly that the rope with which the luggage was tied on and of the carriers had come loose and one of the suitcases was missing.It must have fallen off somewhere along the way.
Although it didn't contain any valuables-just clothes and some cash，we decided to retrace our steps，drawing back four kilometers ，looking for the bag.But luck wasn't our friend：we could not locate it and returned to Ahmedabad depressed.
After about a month，one day，while in my office，I got a call from my assistant that a certain Mr.Shah wanted to see me.I was in the middle of a meeting so he was asked to wait.After I got done，I called him into my office.
I was looking after the development of small industries in the state at the time，so my immediate query was. "How can we help you？Do you want to set up an industry or are you facing any issues in your enterprise？"
To which he said， "No，sir.I have not come for any official help.It is a personal matter.Did you lose something recently？"
Of course，it all came back to me and I told him about the lost suitcase from the cab back from Mount Abu a month ago.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Then Shah told his side of the story.______
But the gentleman insisted on delivering the suitcase to me in person.______組卷：5引用：4難度：0.4
