The researchers examined varius levels f nise n participants as they cmpleted tests f creative thinking. They were randmly divided int fur grups and expsed t varius nise levels in the backgrund, frm ttal silence t 50 decibels(分貝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels. The differences between mst f the grups were statistically insignificant; hwever, the participants in the 70 decibels grup—thse expsed t a level f nise similar t backgrund chatter in a cffee shp—significantly ut perfrmed the ther grups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that ur creative thinking des nt differ that much in respnse t ttal silence and 85 decibels f backgrund nise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant, the study als suggests that the right level f backgrund nise—nt t lud and nt ttal silence—may actually imprve ne's creative thinking ability. The right level f backgrund nise may interrupt ur nrmal patterns f thinking just enugh t allw ur imaginatins t wander, withut making it impssible t fcus. This kind f "distracted fcus" appears t be the best state fr wrking n creative tasks.
S why d s many f us hate ur pen ffices? The prblem may be that, in ur ffices, we can't stp urselves frm getting drawn int thers' cnversatins while we're trying t fcus. Indeed, the researchers fund that face-t-face interactins and cnversatins affect the creative prcess, and yet a cwrking space r a cffee shp prvides a certain level f nise while als prviding freedm frm interruptins.

2. Prt Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding(繁育) prgramme, has welcmed the arrival f a rare black rhin calf(犀牛幼崽). When the tiny creature arrived n January 31, she became the 40th black rhin t be brn at the reserve. And fficials at Prt Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhins are knwn fr being difficult t breed in captivity(圈養(yǎng)).
Paul Beer, head f rhin sectin at Prt Lympne, said: "Obviusly we're all abslutely delighted t welcme anther calf t ur black rhin family. She's healthy, strng and already eager t play and explre. Her mther, Sli, is a first-time mum and she is ding a fantastic jb. It's still a little t cld fr them t g ut int the pen, but as sn as the weather warms up, I have n dubt that the little ne will be ut and abut explring and playing every day."
The adrable female calf is the secnd black rhin brn this year at the reserve, but it is t early t tell if the calves will make gd candidates t be returned t prtected areas f the wild. The first rhin t be brn at Prt Lympne arrived n January 5 t first-time mther Kisima and weighed abut 32kg. His mther, grandmther and great grandmther were all brn at the reserve and still live there.
Accrding t the Wrld Wildlife Fund, the glbal black rhin ppulatin has drpped as lw as 5500, giving the rhins a "critically endangered" status.

3. When I was 9, we packed up ur hme in Ls Angeles and arrived at Heathrw, Lndn n a gray January mrning. Everyne in the family settled quickly int the city except me. Withut my belved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a lss and ut f place. Until I made a discvery.
Suthbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center f British skatebarding, where the cntinuus crashing f skatebards left yur head ringing. I lved it. I sn made friends with the lcal skaters. We spke ur wn language. And my favrite: Safe. Safe meant cl. It meant hell. It meant dn't wrry abut it. Once, when trying a certain trick n the beam(橫桿), I fell nt the stnes, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Tby came ver, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their bards lud, shuting: "Safe! Safe! Safe!" And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a gd skater.
When I was 15, my family mved t Washingtn. I tried skatebarding there, but the lcals were far less welcming. Within a cuple f years, I'd given it up.
When I returned t Lndn in 2004, I fund myself wandering dwn t Suthbank, spending hurs there. I've traveled back several times since, mst recently this past spring. The day was cld but clear; turists and Lndners stpped t watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭) amng the kids wh rushed by n their bards, I fund my way t the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded(滑) up t the beam. He sat next t me. He seemed nt t ntice the man next t him. But sn I caught a few f his glances. "I was a lcal here 20 years ag," I tld him. Then, slwly, he began t nd his head. "Safe, man. Safe."
"Yeah," I said. "Safe."

4. Wh is a genius? This questin has greatly interested humankind fr centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almst the internatinal symbl fr genius. But we want t g beynd ne man and explre the nature f genius itself. Why is it that sme peple are s much mre intelligent r creative than the rest f us? And wh are they?
In the sciences and arts, thse praised as geniuses were mst ften white men, f Eurpean rigin. Perhaps this is nt a surprise. It's said that histry is written by the victrs, and thse victrs set the standards fr admissin t the genius club. When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club—wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief—they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.
A study recently published by Science fund that as yung as age six, girls are less likely than bys t say that members f their gender(性別) are "really, really smart." Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief: Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are "really, really smart." Can ur planet affrd t have any great thinkers becme discuraged and give up? It desn't take a genius t knw the answer: abslutely nt.
Here's the gd news. In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin, we're all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear. And the mre we lk, the mre we will see that scial factrs(因素) like gender, race, and class d nt determine the appearance f genius.

6. By day, Rbert Tittertn is a lawyer. In his spare time thugh he ges n stage beside pianist Maria Rasppva—nt as a musician but as her page turner. "I'm nt a trained musician, but I've learnt t read music s I can help Maria in her perfrmance."
Mr Tittertn is chairman f the Omega Ensemble but has been the grup's fficial page turner fr the past fur years. His jb is t sit beside the pianist and turn the pages f the scre s the musician desn't have t break the flw f sund by ding it themselves. He said he became just as nervus as thse playing instruments n stage.
"A lt f skills are needed fr the jb. Yu have t make sure yu dn't turn tw pages at nce and make sure yu find the repeats in the music when yu have t g back t the right spt," Mr Tittertn explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty f practice. Sme pieces f music can g fr 40 minutes and require up t 50 page turns, including back turns fr repeat passages. Silent nstage cmmunicatin is key, and each pianist has their wn style f "ndding" t indicate a page turn which they need t practise with their page turner.
But like all perfrmances, there are mments when things g wrng. "I was turning the page t get ready fr the next page, but the draft wind frm the turn caused the spare pages t fall ff the stand," Mr Tittertn said. "Luckily I was able t catch them and put them back."
Mst page turners are pian students r up-and-cming cncert pianists, althugh Ms Rasppva has nce asked her husband t help her ut n stage.
"My husband is the wrst page turner," she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every nte, and I have t say: 'Turn, turn!' Rbert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life."

7. When the explrers first set ft upn the cntinent f Nrth America, the skies and lands were alive with an astnishing variety f wildlife. Native Americans had taken care f these precius natural resurces wisely. Unfrtunately, it tk the explrers and the settlers wh fllwed nly a few decades t decimate a large part f these resurces. Millins f waterfwl(水禽) were killed at the hands f market hunters and a handful f verly ambitius sprtsmen. Millins f acres f wetlands were dried t feed and huse the ever-increasing ppulatins, greatly reducing waterfwl habitat(棲息地).
In 1934, with the passage f the Migratry Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly cncerned natin tk firm actin t stp the destructin f migratry(遷徙的) waterfwl and the wetlands s vital t their survival. Under this Act, all waterfwl hunters 16 years f age and ver must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. "Ding" Darling, a plitical cartnist frm Des Mines, Iwa, wh at that time was appinted by President Franklin Rsevelt as Directr f the Bureau f Bilgical Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price t ensure the survival f ur natural resurces.
Abut 98 cents f every duck stamp dllar ges directly int the Migratry Bird Cnservatin Fund t purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat fr inclusin int the Natinal Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be prtected and available fr all generatins t cme. Since 1934, better than half a billin dllars has gne int that Fund t purchase mre than 5 millin acres f habitat. Little wnder the Federal Duck Stamp Prgram has been called ne f the mst successful cnservatin prgrams ever initiated.

8. Ppularizatin has in sme cases changed the riginal meaning f emtinal(情感的) intelligence. Many peple nw misunderstand emtinal intelligence as almst everything desirable in a persn's makeup that cannt be measured by an IQ test, such as character, mtivatin, cnfidence, mental stability, ptimism and "peple skills." Research has shwn that emtinal skills may cntribute t sme f these qualities, but mst f them mve far beynd skill-based emtinal intelligence.
We prefer t describe emtinal intelligence as a specific set f skills that can be used fr either gd r bad purpses. The ability t accurately understand hw thers are feeling may be used by a dctr t find hw best t help her patients, while a cheater might use it t cntrl ptential victims. Being emtinally intelligent des nt necessarily make ne a mral persn.
Althugh ppular beliefs regarding emtinal intelligence run far ahead f what research can reasnably supprt, the verall effects f the publicity have been mre beneficial than harmful. The mst psitive aspect f this ppularizatin is a new and much needed emphasis(重視) n emtin by emplyers, educatrs and thers interested in prmting scial well-being. The ppularizatin f emtinal intelligence has helped bth the public and researchers re-evaluate the functinality f emtins and hw they serve peple adaptively in everyday life.
Althugh the cntinuing ppular appeal f emtinal intelligence is desirable, we hpe that such attentin will excite a greater interest in the scientific and schlarly study f emtin. It is ur hpe that in cming decades, advances in science will ffer new perspectives(視角) frm which t study hw peple manage their lives. Emtinal intelligence, with its fcus n bth head and heart, may serve t pint us in the right directin.
1.What is a cmmn misunderstanding f emtinal intelligence?
A.It can be measured by an IQ test.B.It helps t exercise a persn's mind.
C.It includes a set f emtinal skills.D.It refers t a persn's psitive qualities.
2.Why des the authr mentin "dctr" and "cheater" in paragraph 2?
A.T explain a rule.B.T clarify a cncept.

A.Favrable.B.Intlerant.C.Dubtful.D.Unclear.
4.What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut cncerning emtinal intelligence?
A.Its appeal t the public.B.Expectatins fr future studies.
C.Its practical applicatin.D.Scientists with new perspectives.
9. When yu walk with a backpack, d yu knw hw the things inside mve frm side t side? Nw scientists have figured ut hw t tap int that mvement t prduce electricity.
Picture a pendulum(鐘擺) fixed t a backpack frame and stabilized with springs n either side. The pack's weight is attached t the pendulum, s the pendulum swings side t side as yu walk. Then a machine is driven by that swinging mvement, and spits ut electrical currents t charge a battery.
Vlunteers carried the pack while walking n a running machine and wre masks t measure the flw f O2 and CO2. Walking with the slightly swinging 20-pund lad, the device did nt significantly affect the vlunteers' metablic(新陳代謝的) rate cmpared t when they carried the same weight fixed in place. In fact, the energy-harvesting pack reduced the frces f acceleratin they'd feel with a regular pack, which might mean greater cmfrt fr a lng hike. And the device did prduce a steady trickle f electricity. If yu increase the lad t 45 punds, the swing f the pack culd fully charge a smartphne nly after 12 hurs. The details are in the jurnal Ryal Sciety Open Science.
The device prduces electricity frm human mvement and has been identified as a wrkable slutin t prviding a renewable energy surce fr prtable electrnic devices. It is particularly useful fr thse wh wrk in remte areas, as these peple ften carry a lt f weight in a backpack fr their explratin.
But here's a real cnundrum: the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five punds. The researchers say that's abut fur punds t many t be a smart alternative t batteries. S they hpe that mre research lets them lighten the lad, t insure the pack charges up withut weighing yu dwn.
1.What des Paragraph 2 mainly talk abut?
A.Hw the device wrks.B.What the device lks like.
C.Wh the device is designed fr.D.Why scientists designed the device.
2.Which f the fllwing describes the device?
A.It greatly affected the vlunteers' metablic rate.
B.It harvested energy as the vlunteers walked.
C.It failed t prduce steady electricity.
D.It was useless fr a lng walk.
3.What des the underlined wrd "cnundrum" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Prblem.B.Methd.C.Bnd.D.Decisin.
4.What will the researchers try t d next?
A.Increase the charging speed f their device.B.Find smarter alternatives t batteries.
C.Reduce the weight f their device.D.Put their device n the market.
10. The animal kingdm is full f beautiful and attractive creatures, and it is inviting t purchase extic animals and call them pets. But undmesticated(未馴化的) pets may affect the health and safety f bth the animals and the peple wh keep them.
The umbrella cckat, fr instance, is a type f parrt, which can live up t seventy years. It is ften purchased as an extic pet. It requires a very large living place and a great deal f attentin. When its specific needs are unmet, the bird cmmnly bites itself r becmes aggressive. Similarly, the ball pythn—ne f the mst ppular pet snakes, requires special cnditins t survive. Like the umbrella cckat, the snake's lng lifespan—up t frty years—presents serius practical challenges t any wner, n matter hw devted.
Extic pet wners are mst likely identified as animal lvers wh purchased their animals in rder t feel a deep cnnectin t the natural wrld. Hwever, the mere wnership f such an animal means it's prbable that the persn participated in the illegal trade. This trade—the capture and sale f wild animals—is ften cruel t species. Cuntless animals suffer and die each year.
The prblems cntinue when extic pets are sld t nn-prfessinal wners. When they find they cannt care fr them, wners take their extic pets int the wild and abandn them, as prved by the case f Burmese pythns in Flrida. This nn-native species multiplied quickly, seriusly threatening the Flrida's ecsystem. Als, extic pets pse a danger t their wners: sme emerging infectius diseases, which thusands f peple per year are stricken with, and especially ccurring in children.
Wild animals are undubtedly attractive, but they shuld be admired in the wn natural envirnments. Penning animals as extic pets harms their quality f life. Pet wnership f any kind is a serius respnsibility, and that's why animal lvers shuld chse dmesticated animals that will bm under the care f humans.
1.What can we infer abut extic pets in Paragraph 2?
A.They can live lngest in the animal kingdm.B.They need prfessinal care frm the wner.
C.They require special training frm the wner.D.They can't have a satisfying life under human care.
2.Why are sme pet wners absrbed in keeping extic animals?
A.T get high incme.B.T build a bnd with nature.
C.T help prevent illegal pet trades.D.T make extic pets' life cmfrtable.
3.What can raising extic pets at will result in?
A.Imprving the native ecsystem.B.Increasing the number f rare species.
C.Lsing cntrl f illegal wildlife trading.D.Putting humans and extic wildlife at risk.
4.What's the main argument f the passage?
A.Wild animals are mre dangerus than rdinary pets.
B.It's inapprpriate t keep undmesticated extic pets.
C.Extic pets shuld be kept in better cnditins.
D.Rules f the extic pet trade shuld be updated.

3.推理判斷題。文中第二段講述了作者在倫敦南岸和當(dāng)?shù)厝艘黄鹜婊宓拿篮猛陼r(shí)光。而第三段提到在作者15歲那年全家移居華盛頓, 由于當(dāng)?shù)厝瞬惶押? 作者漸漸放棄了玩滑板這一愛好。再結(jié)合文中第四段第一句可知, 作者在回到倫敦后不由自主地游走到了曾經(jīng)玩滑板的南岸, 故可推斷出作者之所以喜歡在南岸消磨時(shí)間, 是因?yàn)樗朐谀抢镏販孛篮玫耐陼r(shí)光。故選D項(xiàng)。
4.推理判斷題。通讀全文可知, 作者9歲時(shí)移居倫敦后感到迷茫和格格不入, 但在南岸這個(gè)地方結(jié)識了很多當(dāng)?shù)氐幕逋婕? 他們之間用"Safe"來進(jìn)行溝通。作者15歲時(shí)移居華盛頓, 在2004年重返倫敦并結(jié)識了一位正在玩滑板的少年。在與少年的交談中, 作者再次聽到"Safe"這句熟悉的口頭禪, 頓時(shí)找到了久違的歸屬感。由此可推知, 文章想要傳達(dá)的信息可能是"兒童需要?dú)w屬感"。故選C項(xiàng)。
4.答案:1-4 ADAB
解析:1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句和第三句可知, 歷史是由勝利者來書寫的, 天才劃分的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)也是他們制定的, 帶有他們的主觀意愿, 所以當(dāng)初勝利者劃分的天才群體往往是歐洲裔的白人男性; 再根據(jù)第三段最后一句When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club—wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief—they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.可知, 勝利者設(shè)立的天才俱樂部拒絕接納女性或其他膚色人種或其他信仰群體的天才。根據(jù)全文作者對天才的觀點(diǎn)可推斷, 作者并不支持這種涉及性別和種族的劃分標(biāo)準(zhǔn), 因此這種標(biāo)準(zhǔn)在作者看來應(yīng)該是不公平的。故選A項(xiàng)。
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的Even wrse, the study fund that girls act n that belief: Arund age six they start t avid activities said t be fr children wh are "really, really smart."可知, 女孩們會根據(jù)這樣一種觀念行事, 即六歲左右就開始不去參加那些被人們認(rèn)為只適合"非常, 非常聰明的"孩子們的活動。由此可推知, 女孩們很容易受到社會觀念的影響。故選D項(xiàng)。
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的In a wired wrld with cnstant glbal cmmunicatin, we're all psitined t see flashes f genius wherever they appear.可知, 越來越多的天才被大眾知曉與持續(xù)不斷的全球交流有關(guān)。故選A項(xiàng)。
4.主旨大意題。綜觀全文可知, 本文主要論述的是天才的劃分標(biāo)準(zhǔn), 且最后一段最后兩句點(diǎn)明了主題, 說明天才的劃分不應(yīng)由性別、種族和階層等因素決定, 未來的天才體現(xiàn)在智力、創(chuàng)造力、毅力等多種方面, 因此天才的形式有很多種。故選B項(xiàng)。
5.答案:1-3 CBC
解析:1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一句Rme can be pricey fr travelers, which is why many chse t stay in a hstel.可知, 去羅馬旅行的費(fèi)用很高, 這是很多人選擇住在提供便宜食宿的旅社的原因, 由此可知, 費(fèi)用可能是選擇住在旅社的旅客的主要關(guān)注點(diǎn)。
2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Hstel Alessandr Palace部分中的If yu lve scial hstels, this is the best hstel fr yu in Rme.以及plenty f bar 可知, 該旅社提供了豐富的社交活動, 最適合喜歡活躍的社交生活的人。
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Htel and Hstel Des Artistes中的Hwever, yu need t pay 2 eurs a day fr Wi-Fi.可知, 旅客在該旅社使用無線網(wǎng)絡(luò), 需要每天支付兩歐元, 這是該旅社的不便之處。
6.答案:1-4 ACBD
解析:1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的I've learnt t read music s I can help Maria in her perfrmance以及第三段內(nèi)容可知, 作為一名樂譜翻頁員, 蒂特頓需要學(xué)會識譜, 在正確的時(shí)刻給樂譜翻頁, 以確保鋼琴家的演奏準(zhǔn)確且流暢。
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中蒂特頓所說的話A lt f skills are needed fr the jb.及后面的具體說明可知, 樂譜翻頁員需要掌握多種技能, 包括必須確保不要同時(shí)翻兩頁, 并確保樂譜有重復(fù)演奏的部分時(shí), 需要翻回樂譜正確的位置。由此可知, 該工作有很高的要求。
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的Silent nstage cmmunicatin is key, and each pianist has their wn style f "ndding" they need t practise with their page turner.可知, 在舞臺上演出時(shí), 鋼琴家與樂譜翻頁員的默契非常重要, 每個(gè)鋼琴家都有自己的"點(diǎn)頭"示意風(fēng)格, 所以樂譜翻頁員需要和鋼琴家不斷練習(xí), 慢慢磨合, 以使翻頁員能夠明白鋼琴家"點(diǎn)頭"的含義。由此可知, 蒂特頓需要練習(xí)識別鋼琴家"點(diǎn)頭"的含義。
4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的He's interested in the music, feeling every nte, and I have t say: 'Turn, turn!'可知, 鋼琴家瑪麗亞的丈夫經(jīng)常陶醉于音樂中而忘記翻樂譜, 以至于瑪利亞得提醒他翻頁。所以鋼琴家瑪麗亞稱她的丈夫是"最差的樂譜翻頁員"。
7.答案:1-4 ACDA
解析:1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的Millins f waterfwl were killed at the hands f market f acres f wetlands were dried reducing waterfwl habitat.可知, 獵人的捕殺和濕地變干導(dǎo)致的棲息地的減少是水禽數(shù)量減少的重要原因。
2.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句可知, 大量水禽被捕殺, 且隨著居住人口的增加, 大量濕地變干, 水禽的棲息地也隨之大大減少, 從而導(dǎo)致了水禽數(shù)量減少。因此, 此處指那些探險(xiǎn)家和定居者毀壞了很多的自然資源。destry意為"毀滅; 破壞", 與畫線詞意思相近。
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句中的Abut 98 cents f every duck stamp dllar t purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat和倒數(shù)第二句Since 1934, better than half a billin dllars has gne int that Fund t purchase mre than 5 millin acres f habitat.可知, 自1934年通過該法案以來, 政府已募集了很多資金。
4.主旨大意題。通讀全文可知, 本文主要介紹了北美水禽等野生動物遭遇獵殺及其棲息地被破壞后, 政府通過一項(xiàng)法案以防止破壞的持續(xù)發(fā)生, 并取得了明顯成效。文章第二、三段介紹了聯(lián)邦鴨票的起源、具體做法及成效, 尤其是文章第三段最后一句起到點(diǎn)題的作用。故A項(xiàng)(聯(lián)邦鴨票的故事)適合作為本文標(biāo)題。
8.答案:1-4 DBAB
解析:1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的Many, peple nw misunderstand emtinal intelligence as almst everything desirable in a persn's makeup that cannt be measured by an IQ test, such as character, mtivatin, cnfidence, mental stability, ptimism and "peple skills."可知, 如今, 許多人都誤認(rèn)為情商是一個(gè)人的品性、積極性、自信、心理穩(wěn)定性、樂觀和"人際交往能力"等幾乎所有值得擁有的品質(zhì)。由此可知, 大眾對情商的誤解是認(rèn)為情商指一個(gè)人的優(yōu)良品質(zhì)。
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句We prefer t describe emtinal intelligence as a specific set f skills that can be used fr either gd r bad purpses.可知, 人們更喜歡把情商描述為一套特定的技能, 可以用于好的或是壞的目的; 再根據(jù)第二段第二句The ability t accurately understand hw thers are feeling may be used by a a cheater might use it t cntrl ptential victims.可推知, 本段提及醫(yī)生和詐騙者是以其為例闡明本段首句提出的觀點(diǎn)。
3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的the verall effects f the publicity have been mre beneficial than harmful和The mst psitive aspect...可知, 作者認(rèn)為對情商這一概念的關(guān)注所產(chǎn)生的整體效果利大于弊, 并列舉了情商概念大眾化的積極方面, 由此可推知, 作者對情商概念大眾化持贊成(favrable)的態(tài)度。
4.主旨大意題。通讀最后一段并根據(jù)最后一段中的we hpe that such attentin will excite a greater interest in the scientific and schlarly study f emtin和It is ur hpe that in cming...可知, 最后一段主要闡述了對于未來有關(guān)情商的研究的期待。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的Vlunteers carried the pack while walking及the energy-harvesting pack可知, 這個(gè)設(shè)備是在志愿者行走時(shí)收集能量, 故選B項(xiàng)。
3.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five punds t many t be a smart alternative可知, 此處描述該裝置存在的問題; 畫線詞在此處意為"難題", 故選A項(xiàng)。
