A race is on in solar engineering to create almost impossibly-thin,flexible solar panels.Stanford University researchers announced they have achieved record efficiencies in a promising class of new materials—which can be thinner than a piece of paper.
According to the study published in the journal NatureCommunications,it uses a new material called “transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)”.They absorb incredibly high volumes of sunlight that reach their surface compared to other solar materials.
“Imagine an autonomous drone(无人机) that powers itself with a solar panel atop its wing that is less than six micrometers thick,” said Koosha Nassiri Nazif,co-lead author of the study.
Slimming down is necessary because the king of solar materials,silicon,is much too heavy,large and rigid for applications where flexibility,lightweight and high power are important and excellent.
While TMDs hold great promise,research experiments to date have struggled to change more than 2% of the sunlight they absorb into electricity.But the scientists believe they could practically reach 27% efficiency with electrical improvements.That would be comparable with today’s top solar panels,silicon included.
Nazif told Forbes that the new materials are great candidates for next-generation electronics and solar cells.Chipmakers like Intel and the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company are already considering TMDs for their future technology.They could be used in a variety of mobile applications,including self-powered wearable devices and sensors,as well as giving a boost to lightweight airplanes and electric cars.
The ultra-thinness does come with engineering challenges,primarily in mass production.When transferring such a layer of TMD to a flexible,supporting material,the TMD layer is frequently damaged.
But the team thinks it is possible to overcome these challenges.Should they succeed,it could change solar power as we know it.“Silicon makes up 95 percent of the solar market today,” Nazif told Forbes.“This is why we aren’t seeing these applications for solar cells today;TMDs are going to change the landscape.”
1.What is the biggest advantage of TMDs now?
A.They have the quality of remarkable thinness.
B.They can efficiently turn sunlight into energy.
C.They are comparable to top silicon panels.
D.They have excellent ability to reflect sunlight.
2.What does Nazif stress in paragraph 6?
A.The appeal of TMDs to chipmakers.
B.The expectation for future tech.
C.The wide applications of solar energy.
D.The future prospects of TMDs.
3.What can we expect of new solar panels in the future?
A.They could power all mobile devices.
B.They could be a competitive alternative.
C.They will revolutionize the energy market.
D.They will be produced on a large scale soon.
4.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.Most Efficient Solar Panels Have Hit the Market
B.Stanford Scientists Develop a New Green Material
C.TMDs Could Be Used for Lightweight Solar Panels
D.Challenges Are to Be Overcome to Promote TMDs
Ⅱ.七选五
We all know at least one person shows confidence and grace(优雅) without working at it.　1　,make sure to avoid the following common body-language errors. 
Slouching(佝背)
Slouching is a huge no-no.　2　.It may be caused by our habit of sitting in front of computers for long periods,but as soon as you get up from your chair,it’s time to straighten out that back.Try squaring out your chest slightly while keeping your shoulders back. 
WeakHandshaking
It’s programmed in our minds to consider somebody with a weak handshake as untrustworthy.Unfortunately,there’s no way around it—you either have a firm handshake and appear trustworthy or you don’t.It’s not a good idea to have a crushing(太用力的) handshake,either.　3　. 
RollingYourEyes
This is the classic way of showing discomfort or anger.　4　,but your partner will definitely feel offended by your way of letting them know what they said isn’t worth a second thought. 
Leaning(倾斜)Back
　5　.It shows that you’re not threatening.However,there’s a fine line between leaning back right and leaning back wrong.If done incorrectly,you’ll appear to be uninterested in what your partner has to say.It’s better to play it safe and keep a straight back. 
A.So try to stand straight
B.If you want your body to make the same impression
C.Sitting backward a bit can be good for your conversation
D.All cultures are different in terms of proper social conduct
E.But it’s one of the most commonly made body-language errors
F.It can feel good to respond to a silly statement by rolling your eyes
G.You can respond with similar amount of pressure that your shaking partner gives
Ⅲ.语法填空
These days,doctors are using a new approach to healing,which is called tapping.This approach combines 1.　　　　　(wise) from Chinese medicine with talk therapy(治疗). 
By simply tapping points along the body while 2.　　　　　　　(confirm) your emotional state,you can release cellular energy.By feeling those emotions,you process and clear them through 3. power of love and forgiveness.Tapping provides a healthy way to process difficult emotions,even from experiences that 4.　　　　　　　(happen) in the distant past.The practice draws from acupuncture(针灸),a healing method from 5.　　　　　　(tradition) Chinese medicine that dates from thousands of years ago. 
Acupuncture opens energy highways in the body by sticking thin needles into the skin.Tapping takes a similar approach,but uses touch instead of needles 6.　　　　　　　　(promote) the flow of energy throughout the body.It may sound strange or impossible 7.　　　　　 first glance.But scientists believe that the method works because it excites the central nervous system,8. causes the body to release helpful chemicals. 
Everyone may have experienced some sorts of emotional discomfort in their lives.Although painful,it’s important to develop healthy ways to process their 9.　　　　　　　(experience).Healing practices like tapping help release these emotions 10.　　　　　　(active),so you can process and heal from difficult emotions. 
Ⅳ.读后续写

(2022湖南常德一模)
Dark rain clouds were gathering in the sky.I was cycling as fast as I could to get home before the downpour.When I felt a few big drops on my head,I decided to dash for a bus stop,about a hundred meters away.As I was nearing the bus stop,I saw a lady rushing towards it from the opposite direction,a little boy following her.The little boy was finding it hard to keep up with her,so,finally,she just picked him up and carried him.
Suddenly,a motorcycle roared past me,almost knocking me down.He turned to look at me,and for a split second,I saw his face—cruel,glaring eyes.A flood of fear crept over me.However,courage from nowhere got me to shout “Hey!Are you mad?” My voice trembled a bit.He just sped on.Then,I realized that he was rushing right toward the woman and the little boy!
“Watch out!Watch out!” I shouted.I saw the lady turn to look at the motorcyclist,with worry on her face.In an instant,the motorcyclist reached the lady.He stretched out an arm and grabbed hold of her handbag,hitting her on the back at the same time.The impact sent the lady hurtling(猛冲) forward.The mother and child fell on the road,landing right in the path of a van.
“Stop!Stop!” I screamed at the van driver,waving my arms wildly in the air.Thankfully,the van stopped a few meters from the spot where the mother and child lay.I saw the lady crawling on the road towards the crying child.Throwing my bicycle to the side of the road,I ran to help them.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
By the time I got there,the van driver had reached them.  
 
 
 
I realized that,by this time,the motorcyclist must have gone far from that spot,with the lady’s handbag.
