Slar cells play an imprtant rle in the shift twards a greener future, with an increasing number f buildings and rftps wrldwide being fitted with slar panels. Hwever, their large size can be a limitatin. A team f researchers frm the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) has develped a technique t prduce incredibly lightweight slar cells that can be placed n a variety f surfaces.
These slar cells are made frm nanmaterials (纳米材料) using a kind f electrnic ink. Their thinness allws them t be applied t many different surfaces, such as being placed n the wings f drnes (无人机) t prlng their battery life. These cells are thinner than human hair, yet they are capable f prducing apprximately 18 times mre pwer per kilgram cmpared t traditinal slar panels.
A prblem that researchers are addressing befre these slar cells can be mass-prduced is hw t prtect the slar cells frm xygen and misture (湿气). While traditinal slar cells are prtected by glass, adding such a layer wuld remve the majr advantage f the new ultra-thin slar cells. Scientists are currently explring alternative prtective measures.
Australia is als witnessing big prgress in this field. During the “Charge Arund Australia” prject, scientists drve arund the cuntry in a Tesla that was pwered nly by slar panels n a three-mnth jurney. These slar panels were stred in the vehicle’s trunk and prvided pwer if necessary.
28. What is the main advantage f the new slar cells develped by MIT scientists?
A. They are diverse in frm.B. They are mre affrdable t prduce.
C. They are prtected by a layer f glass.D. They are flexible and prduce mre pwer.
29. What challenge d scientists face befre these slar cells can be mass-prduced?
A. T extend the battery life.
B. T make them absrb mre energy.
C. T guard them against xygen and misture.
D. T get rid f size and gegraphical limitatin.
30. What mst prbably makes glass imprper as a prtective layer?
A. Its cst.B. Its weight.C. Its structure.D. Its breakability.
31. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Australia relied n a netwrk f charging statins in the prject.
B. Slar panels have been widely used in vehicles arund the wrld.
C. Significant innvatin was made in slar technlgy in Australia.
D. The Tesla was charged using traditinal pwer utlets in the prject.

Fr many years, the Caribbean Island f Rednda was a bare rck with very little wildlife n it. Thanks t lcal envirnmental grups, it has nw been restred t its frmer state and was recently named a prtected area by the gvernment f Antigua and Barbuda.
Rednda was nce a gd place fr wildlife. In the 17th century, peple set ft n the island fr the first time and fund that guan (waste prduced by seabirds) was useful fr making fertilizer (肥料) t help farm crps grw. Humans began t mine (开采) the guan, and with the peple came gats and black rats— invasive(侵略性的) species that did nt riginally live there.
Althugh humans eventually stpped cllecting guan and left the island, the gats and rats stayed behind. They ate many f the island’s plants and hunted n ther species, eventually leaving Rednda a plantless landscape. Withut plants, birds stpped nesting there and sme f the sil began falling int the sea.
In 2016, cnservatinists started a prject t help the island and its wildlife recver. They began by remving the species that weren’t suppsed t be living there. Within mnths, the island’s plants began t grw back n their wn. As the envirnment gradually became healthier, species that were native t the island began t grw strnger and strnger. Researchers say the ppulatin f the Rednda grund dragn has grwn 13 times larger since 2017, fr example. Other lizard species are als n the rise, and 15 species f birds have returned t the island.
The new prtected area, the Rednda Ecsystem Reserve, includes the island itself plus the sea arund it as well as seagrass fields and a cral reef. Cnservatin grups will ensure that the island is prtected frm ther invasive species, and strict rules abut fishing in the area will be put in place. Crdinatr Jhnella Bradshaw said, “Rednda shws that rewilding wrks when Mther Nature is left t d what she des best.”
32. Fr what reasn was Rednda left plantless?
A. Birds stpping nesting. B. Sil being washed int the sea.
C. Gats and rats eating and hunting. D. Humans cntinuing cllecting guan.
33. Why are the numbers“13” and“15” mentined in Paragraph 4?
A. T list the kinds f new species f lizard.
B. T cmpare with the grwing-back plants.
C. T shw the disappinting situatin f Rednda.
D. T prve the imprvement f wildlife prtectin.
34. Where is the text prbably taken frm?
A. A nature website. B. A z guidebk.
C. A farming instructin. D. An agriculture magazine.
35. Which f the fllwing is prbably the best title?
A. Benefits f Guan Mine B. Restratin n Rednda
C. Impact f Species Invasin D. Attractins n Caribbean Island

When I called my dad in Flrida, he sunded a bit upset n the phne. He tld me an ad had said a ping-png table was n sale, with free delivery, but at the stre they said he was a day late and the sale price n lnger applied. He didn’t want t pay mre s he went back hme empty-handed.
As he related his tale, he sunded a little disappinted. I wndered where this idea had cme frm. Dad was eighty-three years ld! My parents’ yunger friend, Bev, plays ping-png at the senir center, s I figured maybe they gt the idea frm her. But my parents dn’t get ut as much, s at the respective ages f eighty-three and eighty-ne, they decided they needed their wn ping-png table at hme. This seemed strange t me, cnsidering Mm’s current state f health.
Mm had fallen and hit her head the year befre and had lst much f her shrt-term memry. She was mstly cheerful but had lst interest in many f the things she used t d.
But when my parents went t Flrida fr the winter frm their summer hme in Wiscnsin, they gt this crazy idea t play ping-png. Dad had planned t put the table ut n their lanai （阳台），where they culd play in the fresh air under the cver f a rf. After he came hme empty-handed, I tld him maybe they just needed a net, a ball, and sme bats, and they culd play n their dining-rm table.
T be hnest, every time I thught f my parents playing ping-png, I felt a little burst f jy. S I checked nline and fund a “pp-up”（弹开）ping-png table that fit int its wn bx. Weighing nly fifty punds, it came with a net, a ball, and bats. It was available at less than ne-third the price f the 300-pund turnament table.
