29、en Brody,a 4-year-old Connecticut boy,was asked what wish he wanted to come true,his only dream was that he could be able to play outside.Brody was born premature(早产)at 27 weeks,which caused him to overheat and burn easily.That means he cant spend any time outside and hell get burn blisters(水疱)on hi
30、s face even when he is driven to the hospital.Besides,there are a lot of things he cant do.He has trouble walking and only began talking one year ago.Brody cant eat or drink and has to wear a backpack 24/7 that contains a pump that feeds him.“I cant even count the number of surgeries hes had since h
31、e was born,”Brodys mother said.“Hes spent probably half his life at the hospital.”When Make-A-Wish Connecticut,an organization that creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses,heard about Brodys request to play outside,they immediately jumped into action.“Its the most simple,mo
32、st sweet wish,just to play outside but it seems to be the most difficult to realize.”said Debbie Artinian,the manager of Make-A-Wish Connecticut.Artinian and her team determined that a temperature-controlled tent outside Brodys home where he could play and not be in the sun would be the best option.
33、But they had to find a tent that could stand weather conditions like wind and snow and had the right material to block all UV rays.Luckily,Artinian found a company based in the United Kingdom that could design and make the tent.Make-A-Wish Connecticut learnt that Brody loves the beach,even though he
34、 is not able to go into water because of his backpack.So they filled the tent with water toys and a kids pool filled with balls to make Brody feel as much as possible like hes out at the beach.北京新东方中小学全科教育出品 10 Brody got his first look at the tent earlier this summer.“When he walked out of the door
35、and I saw his face,it was just everything,”said Artinian.“Now when Brody says Can I go out and play?,his mom can say,“Yes.”“Brody is now enjoying spending nearly all his time outside”in the tent.Its hard to make life completely normal for Brody,but Artinian and her team tried to make it as normal as
36、 they could.北京新东方中小学全科教育出品 11 34.What can we learn about Brody?A.He cant be exposed to sunlight.B.He cant stand on his feet.C.He cant be given surgeries any more.D.He cant communicate with others.35.Make-A-Wish Connecticut thought Brodys dream was _ A.inspiring and heart-warming B.simple but incredi
37、ble C.difficult and unachievable D.challenging but worthwhile 36.Why does the author mention the beach in Paragraph 4?A.To show that Brody is a boy who loves nature.B.To prove that the design company was responsible.C.To suggest that Artinian and her team were considerate.D.To emphasize that the ski

39、id-Norway,lies an island called Myken.This small island has about ten permanent residents,and for more than 50 years has been supplied with electricity via a 32-kilometer undersea cable(电缆).A break that appeared in the cable last autumn resulted in two months without power,so the island community st
40、arted looking into a better way of sourcing their electricity.“Myken is far out at sea,so as far as possible it should be taking care of things itself,”says Kyrre Sundseth,who is a hydrogen(氢)researcher in Norway and also the project manager for Mykens energy project.“This is why we want Myken to be
41、come entirely self-sufficient in energy.It is also important to take the environment into consideration,”he says.Much points to the idea that the solution may lie in a Hydrogen plant,specifically tailored for small islands.The“raw materials”for hydrogen production come from nature itself in the form
42、 of the sun and wind.Researchers have calculated that energy costs will be lower by using hydrogen production than the undersea cable option.And it is possible to store energy in the form of hydrogen for longer periods.This means that supplies will not have to rely on a lot of expensive batteries or
43、 external energy sources,even during periods when the sun isnt shining,or the wind isnt blowing.The Myken project has attracted several technology companies.They are currently working on a pilot project.The pilot involves experiments on the feasibility(可行性)of the hydrogen system in which electricity
44、 is generated from solar and wind sources.The electricity can be used immediately,but during periods when all the energy generated is not required,the spare energy can be used to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen.The hydrogen can be stored in a tank,and used later to 北京新东方中小学全科教育出品 13 generate
45、 electricity.The pilot will help researchers know more about how effectively the system will work in the hydrogen plant.Since the island has a distillery(酿酒厂),where the distillation(蒸馏)process relies on energy,a hydrogen plant on Myken offers an even greater environmental benefit.Spare heat from the
46、 hydrogen system can also be used for the heating part in the distillation process.“In Norway alone there are about 300 island inhabited all year round by small populations,”says Kyrre Sundseth.“All of these islands may be candidates for using this technology.In global terms were talking about 10,00
47、0 similar islands.”北京新东方中小学全科教育出品 14 38.Why is a hydrogen plant suitable for Myken?A.It is perfect in size for small islands.B.It can send electricity to faraway places.C.It will restore local natural environment.D.It provides green and sustainable energy.39.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph
48、4?A.The study on the energy storage.B.The test on the hydrogen system.C.The experiment on the raw materials.D.The research on the innovation of the pilot.40.According to the passage,a hydrogen plant will _.A.produce purified seawater B.prove more technically reliable C.contribute in more than one wa
49、y D.benefit from the distillation process 41.What does Kyrre Sundseth think of the project?A.Promising.B.Systematic.C.Irreplaceable.D.Time saving.北京新东方中小学全科教育出品 15 D On January 15,2009,the crew of US Airways Flight 1549 experienced a never-in-a-lifetime event.Less than two minutes after takeoff,some
50、 birds found their way into the airplanes two engines and brought them to a sudden stop.Over the next three and a half minutes,the crew managed to identify the problem,decide what to do about it,and make the most successful emergency landing in aviation(航空)history.We all experience similar moments.R
