Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise. Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain). The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $ 5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing. What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group. So, what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior. 【1】This experiment was carried out by A. dividing the teens into three groups B. comparing the reactions to different risks C. giving equal amount of awards to the participants D. observing the emotional changes of the teenager 【2】When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be ________. A. ambits B. cautious C. anxious D. curious 【3】Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks? A. Teenagers. B. College students. C. Parent-aged adults. D. Grandparent-aged adults. 【4】According to the study, parents should focus on ________. A. guaranteeing children to be careful B. setting age limits on dangerous activities C. respecting teens to make their own choices D. guiding teens to learn more about the effect of risks |

Solar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy, but there are limits to where rigid solar panels (刚性太阳能电池板)can go. A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite (钙钛矿)can go almost anywhere, says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz. We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building, on the roofs of the buildings, on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices. We can use it on the sails. We can use it in the balls, tents and unlimited applications. Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers. Because it can be printed, everyone can use it on every surface. Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer. She co-founded a company to produce them, called Soleil Technologies, after the Baltic sun goddess. Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters. Adam Targowski is sustainable (可持续的)development manager for Skanska. They work perfectly, even when they are not well exposed to sunlight. So we can use them in all surfaces of the building. Soleil calculates that about one square meter of panel can supply a day’s worth of power for one worker’s computer and lights. And they keep getting better as research continues, says the company’s scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski. For other technologies, it took decades to really enter markets. Perovskite has been around only for few years in scientific research, so there is still a lot to be done, but potential is basically pretty much unlimited, I think. There are still durability and other problems to work out, but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year. 【1】What do we know about perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph? A. It’s delicate. B. It’s complex. C. It’s flexible. D. It’s expensive. 【2】What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to? A. Skanska and Adam Targowski. B. Malinkiewicz and Skanska. C. Soleil Technologies. D. Perovskite panels. 【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. It needs years to put perovskite panels into markets. B. Scientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets. C. Perovskite has been studied for decades. D. Perovskite panels will soon be seen in the market. 【4】What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how to use perovskite panels. B. To introduce perovskite panels. C. To advertise a new solar power cell. D. To propose scientists to further study perovskiet cells. |

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Since the 1980s eco-tourism has grown and grown. It is the fastest growing type of tourism. If done well, eco-tourism has several advantages. It is kinder to the environment. 【1】This means that more natural habitat is protected and that the resources for building come from sustainable (可持续的) sources.Another advantage is that people in the developed world through eco-tourism get to experience places of great natural importance as well as communicating with local people. 【2】 However, there are some disadvantages of eco-tourism. It is felt by some environmentalists that any human activity will cause disorder in the routine of animals. 【3】 Another problem for local people is that they are expected to pose for cameras and dance etc. for money. 【4】The tourists are destroying the culture that they are paying to protect. Eco-tourism tries to go to the places far away from other communities. 【5】There is nothing stopping people taking money from tourists as well as doing environmentally unfriendly activities. It seems that the disadvantages often outweigh the advantages of eco-tourism. It might be better to take pictures of animals rather than kill animals, but given the choice the animals would sooner not have people around. It seems whether eco-tourism should be allowed should be judged case-by-case, and that the local people must be considered. A. These places are often not well policed. B. People walking through the forest may do much harm. C. And these activities will also damage the eco-system. D. It seldom ends people to untouched parts of the world. E. This is good for both parties: they both can better understand each other. F. And it encourages developers to consider the natural environment more. G. It discourages the local people from pursuing their traditional life styles. |
