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 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 he's out at the beach.
Brody got his first look at the tent earlier this summer. “When he walked out of the door 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 \
It's hard to make life completely normal for Brody, but Artinian and her team tried to make it as normal as they could. 34. What can we learn about Brody? A. He can't be exposed to sunlight. B. He can't stand on his feet.
C. He can't be given surgeries any more. D. He can't communicate with others.
35. Make-A-Wish Connecticut thought Brody's dream was __________ A. inspiring and heart-warming B. simple but incredible 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 skill in building the tent was the latest. 37. What does the story mainly tell us? A. One good turn deserves another. B. A helping hand makes a difference.
C. All things are difficult before they are easy. D. Tough life experience may result in success. 【答案】34. A 35. D 36. C 37. B 【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲了不能晒太阳的Brody，在Make-A-Wish Connecticut 组织的帮助下，实现了到室外去玩的梦想。 【34题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段的一、二两句话可知，Brody是27周就产下的早产儿，因此他很容易过热，也很容易灼伤。那意味着他任何时候都不能在室外，而且，甚至当他被开车送往医院时，他都会脸上起水泡。由此可见，由于早产，这个小孩不能被暴露于阳光之下。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段的“It's the most simple, most sweet wish, just to play outside but it seems to be the most difficult to realize.”可知，Make-A-Wish Connecticut认为他的到室外玩这一梦想很简单，也很甜美的，然而（对于Brody）而言又是最难实现的。结合本段第一句话，我们知道这个组织主要是帮助生病严重的孩子实现梦想，所以他们会认为帮助实现这个孩子的梦想是值得的，但是有时富有挑战的，不是那么容易的，故选D项。 【36题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“Make-A-Wish Connecticut learnt that Brody loves the beach, even though he 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 he's out at the beach.”可知，他们得知Brody喜欢沙滩，虽然他去不了，但他们还是贴心地为Brody营造了沙滩场景，让他身临其境。由此可以判断Artinian以及她的团队成员真的很善解人意。故选C项。 【37题详解】
主旨大意题。结合全文，尤其是最后一段，可知，虽然很难让Brody的生活完全正常，但是Artinian 和她的团队尽他们所能，让Brody的生活正常。由此我们可以判断，在他们的帮助下，Brody的生活有了很大的变化。故选B项。
C
Surrounded by the sea off the coast in Mid-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 started 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 Myken’s energy project. “This is why we want Myken to become 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 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 external energy sources, even during periods when the sun isn’t shining, or the wind isn’t 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 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 generate 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 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 we’re talking about 10,000 similar islands.”
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 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 way D. benefit from the distillation process
41. What does Kyrre Sundseth think of the project? A. Promising. B. Systematic. C. Irreplaceable. D. Time saving.
【答案】38. D 39. B 40. C 41. A 【解析】
这是一篇说明文，主要讲了Myken利用自身地理条件，建立了氢气发电站，实现了自给自足的环保发电。 【38题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段的第二句话可知，氢气产生的“原材料”来自于大自然的太阳和风，结合第二段的第一句话，Myken在大海深处，须得自己照顾好自己。可见Myken地理位置的
