Imagine being able t use energy frm the sun all the time, even when it’s night. That’s the idea that scientists at Caltech (Califrnia Institute f Technlgy) are explring. They’re wrking n cllecting sunlight in space and sending its energy t Earth.
Caltech’s scientists have created a special tl fr this prject. They call it MAPLE. MAPLE and tw ther devices are part f a prject that was sent int space in January, 2023. MAPLE’s jb is t test the idea f sending energy wirelessly frm space t Earth. We’re used t using wires t mve electrical energy frm ne place t anther. But sending energy withut wires is a lt tugher.
The methd used by Caltech’s scientists depends n the way waves act when they meet. Imagine tw waves cming tgether as they travel in the same directin. If the tps f the waves line up, they cmbine t make a bigger wave. But if the tp f ne wave lines up with the lw pint f the ther, the waves cancel each ther ut. The Caltech team has fund a way t cntrl the timing f lts f micrwaves s that they can cmbine their pwer, and fcus the energy in ne directin. It’s a little like using a magnifying (放大的) glass t fcus sunlight int a small, ht pint f light.
T prve that the system culd wrk, MAPLE sent energy t tw devices just 30 centimeters away in space. This energy was then turned int electricity, which made tw small lights light up. Next, MAPLE sent energy all the way dwn t a lab at Caltech. The scientists were able t detect the energy, prving that it’s pssible t send slar energy t Earth frm space.
Dr. Hajimiri, ne f the prject’s leaders, thinks that ne day, the system culd be extremely useful. He believes that in the future, we’ll be able t send energy t remte regins and areas destryed by war r natural disaster.
28. What is the challenge in Caltech’s prject with MAPLE?
A. Wireless energy delivery.
B. Sunlight cllectin in space.
C. Sending devices int space.
D. Using wires t mve electricity.
29. Hw des the Caltech team fcus slar pwer?
A. By using a magnifying glass.
B. By managing the timing f micrwaves.
C. By changing the directin f micrwaves.
D. By lining up waves in ppsite directins.
30. What ptential benefit culd the system bring in future accrding t Dr. Hajimiri?
A. Warning peple f natural disasters.
B. Turning slar energy int electricity.
C. Delivering energy t places in need.
D. Ridding the wrld f energy shrtage.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Use f Slar Energy in Space Explratin.
B. The Challenges f Generating Energy Withut Wires.
C. The Develpment f a New Tl fr Cllecting Electricity
D. The Pssibility f Sending Energy Wirelessly frm Space t Earth.

We’re all familiar with the trappings f n-screen science fictin, many f which expand the pssibilities f real science. But science fictin is nt a place fr utlandish escapism (逃避现实的消遣活动)—it hlds an imprtant psitin in cntemprary culture, and its influence can even be seen in the directin f sme real scientific and technlgical advances.
Smetimes, the language f science fictin shapes ur thinking and apprach t scientific investigatins. But the cnnectin between science fictin and science facts isn’t always metaphrical. Althugh nt as extrardinary as visiting the Mn, many nw-cmmn gadgets (工具) were imagined in science fictin befre entering the real wrld. The classic series Star Trek features several everyday technlgies: vide calls, autmatic sliding drs and flip phnes.
And it’s nt nly generalized visins f the future that find their way int reality: certain gadgets have been specifically designed with the inspiratin frm fictinal tech. In 2016, Nike prduced a limited run f self-lacing shes in 1989’s Back t the Future Part Ⅱ. This prduct wasn’t just fun: Nike partnered Michael J. Fx, wh played Marty McFly in the Back t the Future series, t raise mney fr his fundatin t fight Parkinsn’s disease.
The influence f certain wrks f science fictin can even shape scientific investigatins. Fr example, a black hle simulatin (模拟) was develped fr Christpher Nlan’s Interstellar, a mvie abut astrnauts traveling t the ther end f the Galaxy t find a new hme, which stars Matthew McCnaughey. T create the images seen in the film, Nlan asked Paul Franklin, the film’s visual effects supervisr, t wrk with Interstellar’s scientific cnsultant, Kip Thrne. This was n small task fr either f them. Thrne prvided detailed equatins (方程式) while Franklin and his team had t prgram new sftware t create the images. The resulting simulatin prvided new insights int gravitatinal lensing arund black hles. The requirements f science fictin shaped the directin taken by a leading physicist in his wn wrk. S, the influence f n-screen science fictin is nt reserved fr bx-ffice takings, but can inspire real change in science and sciety.
What des the authr say abut science fictin in the first tw paragraphs?
It’s a reflectin f the real wrld.
It ffers an escape frm reality.
It makes full use f everyday items.
It inspires real scientific research.
Why were Nike’s self-lacing shes develped?
T prmte a new mvie release.
T raise funds fr a charitable cause.
T cmpete with ther she brands.
T test new technlgy fr future prducts.
Hw did Kip Thrne help with the film Interstellar?
He cntributed t the visual representatin f black hles.
He tk measurements f actual black hles.
He wrte the fictinal stryline fr the film.
He tested ut certain sftware fr the film.
Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the text?
The Develpment f Science Fictin
The Rle f Scientists in Film Prductin
The Impact f Science Fictin n Real Science
The Similarities between Science Fictin and Real Science

【原文】 W: Take care f yur plants! They may “scream” if yu treat them badly. Accrding t an article published in a magazine Cell, plants can make sunds when they are stressed. “Plants interact with insects and ther animals all the time, and many f these insects and animals use sunds fr cmmunicatin, s it wuld be very incnvenient fr plants nt t use sunds at all,” Lilach Hadany tld BBC Science Fcus.
With this in mind, the research team started by recrding plants’ sunds. They divided the plants int three grups. One grup wasn’t watered fr five days. Anther grup had the stems cut ff and the last grup remained untuched. The micrphnes caught sunds at a frequency f 40 t 80 kilhertz frm the first tw grups. The sunds grew luder and luder during the five days f water stress. They then began t decline as the plants dried ut. The researchers haven’t yet discvered hw the sunds are made. After the experiment, the team gathered the data and made sftware that culd tell hw plants “feel”. It culd be useful fr farmers in mnitring the cnditins f their crps.
