Every time yur fingers tuch yur cell phne, they leave behind traces f chemicals. And each chemical ffers clues t yu and yur activities. By analyzing them. scientists might be able t piece tgether a stry abut yur recent life, a new study finds.
A mlecule is a grup f atms. It represents the smallest amunt f sme chemical. Yur skin is cvered in mlecules picked up by everything yu’ve tuched. With each new thing yur skin cntacts, yu leave behind sme small share f what it’d tuched earlier.
Researchers at the University f Califrnia. San Dieg (UCSD)recently analyzed such chemical leftvers n the phnes f 39 vlunteers. The study was led by bichemist Amina Buslimani. T explre thse remains, the UCSD team wiped the surface f each vlunteer’s phne with a cttn swab(药棉签). The scientists als swabbed each persn’s right hand.
Then the researchers cmpared the chemicals fund n each cell phne. The scientists discvered as many f the mlecules as they culd. They then cmpared these t a database f chemicals. Pieter Drrestein. a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few years earlier, which cntains varius substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.
Traces f anywhere frm hundreds t thusands f different mlecules turned up n each phne. The mlecules reflected what had been in the bdy, and what each persn had handled befre tuching the phne. Frm all these mlecules, Buslimani says. “We culd tell if a persn is likely female, uses high-end csmetics, dyes her hair, drinks cffee, prefers beer ver wine r likes spicy fd.”

Is bredm a thing f the past, like black-and-white televisin? And, if s, is that a gd thing? Julie Rbinsn, a frmer teacher wh nw represents the Independent Assciatin f Prep Schls, thinks that bredm is regarded as an enemy f tday’s children, and they are lsing the ability t becme thughtful and reflective (沉思的).
“We shuld nt fear bredm.” said Julie Rbinsn. “Bredm is valuable t children. Quiet, reflective time is just as imprtant as purpseful activity,” she added.
Her pinin is that cnstant (连续不断的) activity fr a child, ften the result f the dreams f parents, will lead t cncerned and wrrying adult. The traditinal ideas that children shuld be cnstantly active culd prevent the develpment f their imaginatin. S anything that imprves a greater thughtfulness is t be warmly welcmed.
Parents nw feel a sense f failure when they hear their children cmplain abut being bred. They seek an electrnic devices (设备) t play games at nce. And we didn’t feel bred during lng car jurneys anymre by the impatient “Are we there yet?” because all kinds f electrnic devices have been taken alng t avid even a minute f bredm. S what chance d children have t allw their thughts t wander?
But it’s nt just children wh need lessns in reflectin. Adults need that, t. On my train jurney t wrk this mrning, I culdn’t see a single persn wh wasn’t using an electrnic device. N ne was simply lking ut f the windw at the beautiful views f the cunty side. Nt time fr quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails t send, texts t read, and games t play. The wider wrld, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mbile phne has changed many things abut ur lives, and has develped an inability — amng adults as well as children — t live in the present. What Julie Rbinsn regards is a crss-generatinal phenmenn: the fear f “inactivity”. And she is right.
8. Julie Rbinsn thinks bredm is useful because it makes children_________.
A. find effective slutins t scial prblems
B. imprve the ability t learn knwledge
C. have time t think and have their imaginatin develped
D. cmmunicate mre with their parents and friends
9. Which f the fllwing is seen as “inactivity” accrding t the last paragraph?
A. Sending emails n a train.
B. Playing games with friends.
C. Planning cnstant activity fr children.
D. Lking ut f the windw at the beautiful views.
10. The authr mentined the train jurney t shw that_________.
A. the trip n a quiet train was very bring
B. the view f the cuntryside was beautiful
C. peple had t much wrk t d
D. electrnic devices influence peple’s life greatly
11. Which f the fllwing statements is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. Bth adults and children like t stay alne and recall their past days.
B. Peple fail t leave their children enugh time t think and imagine.
C. Electrnic devices are always gd fr bth children and adults.
D. Parents shuld tell their children hw t use a mbile phne.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了现在人们都使用手机等电子产品来避免无聊，而作者认为无聊的存在是有其意义的——可以让孩子们在无聊中对一些问题进行思考。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Julie Rbinsn说的话“Bredm is valuable t children. Quiet, reflective time is just as imprtant as purpseful activity,(无聊对孩子来说是有价值的。安静、沉思的时间和有目的的活动一样重要)”和第三段中“The traditinal ideas that children shuld be cnstantly active culd prevent the develpment f their imaginatin. S anything that imprves a greater thughtfulness is t be warmly welcmed.(传统观念认为孩子应该不断活跃，这会阻碍他们想象力的发展。因此，任何能够提高更深思熟虑的事情都会受到热烈欢迎。)”可知，Julie Rbinsn认为无聊是有用的，因为它能让孩子们有时间思考，且发展他们的想象力。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On my train jurney t wrk this mrning, I culdn’t see a single persn wh wasn’t using an electrnic device. N ne was simply lking ut f the windw at the beautiful views f the cunty side. Nt time fr quiet thinking, even in the quiet library. There were emails t send, texts t read, and games t play. The wider wrld, seemingly, didn’t exist. The mbile phne has changed many things abut ur lives, and has develped an inability — amng adults as well as children — t live in the present. What Julie Rbinsn regards is a crss-generatinal phenmenn (现象): the fear f “inactivity”. (今天早上在去上班的火车上，我看不到一个人不使用电子设备。没有人只是简单地向窗外看县城的美景。没有时间安静的思考，即使在安静的图书馆。有邮件要发，有短信要读，有游戏要玩。更广阔的世界，似乎并不存在。手机已经改变了我们生活中的许多事情，并且已经使成年人和儿童都无法生活在当下。朱莉·罗宾逊认为这是一个跨代现象：对“不活跃”的恐惧。)”可知，“不活跃”现象指的是人们安静的这种状态，即上文提到的无聊现象，如今人们害怕无聊，所以会经常看手机，或者不间断的做一些打发无聊的事情。由此可推知，D项“望着窗外美丽的景色”被认为是一种“不活跃”现象。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On my train jurney t wrk this mrning, I culdn’t see a single persn wh wasn’t using an electrnic device. N ne was simply lking ut f the windw at the beautiful views f the cunty side.

(现在，当父母听到孩子抱怨无聊时，他们会感到一种失败感。他们寻找一种可以立即玩游戏的电子设备。在长途汽车旅行中，我们再也不会因为不耐烦地问“我们到了吗？”而感到无聊，因为各种各样的电子设备已经随身携带，以避免哪怕是一分钟的无聊。)”可知，人们没有给他们的孩子足够的时间去思考和想象。故选B。

This year, peple arund the wrld are lining up t buy electric vehicles even as prices increase. Electric vehicle, EV, demand has stayed strng even as the average cst f lithiumin (锂离子) battery cells increased t an estimated $160 per kilwatt-hur in the first quarter frm $105 last year. Csts rse due t supply issues, restrictins n Russian metals and investr speculatin (投机).
Fr a smaller vehicle like the Hngguang Mini, the best-selling EV in China, the higher battery csts added almst $1,500, equal t 30 percent f the listed price. But gasline and diesel fuel csts have als increased since the cnflict between Russia and Ukraine, and experts nted that envirnmental cncerns are als pushing mre buyers t chse EVs.
Manufacturers frm Tesla t SAIC-GM-Wuling, which makes the Hngguang Mini, have passed higher csts n t cnsumers with price increases fr EVs. Mre may be cming. Andy Palmer, chairman f Slvak EV battery maker InBat, said, “rising csts will have t be passed nt carmakers.” But EV shppers have s far nt slwed dwn. Wrldwide EV sales in the first quarter jumped nearly 120 percent, said the website EV-vlumes.cm.
Venkat Srinivasan is directr f the Center fr Cllabrative Energy Strage Science at the U.S. gvernment’s Argnne Natinal Labratry in Chicag. He said, “mre and mre peple wuld buy EVs despite the cst f the battery and the vehicle.”
This increase in battery csts culd be an unusual shrt-term change in a situatin in which imprving technlgy and grwing prductin have pushed csts dwn fr almst 30 years. Industry data shwed that the $105 per kilwatt hur average cst in 2021 was dwn nearly 99 percent frm ver $7,500 in 1991.
Experts say battery csts culd stay high fr the next year r s, but then anther large drp is likely as big investments by autmakers and suppliers change the balance frm shrtage t surplus. “It’s like a bubble (泡沫) and fr that bubble t settle dwn, it’s ging t be at least the end f 2023,” said Prabhakar Patil, a frmer LG Chem executive.
The industry has lng been awaiting the battery cell cst f $100 per kilwatt-hur, as a signal EVs were reaching a similar cst t fssil-fuel vehicles. But with gasline prices high and cnsumer preferences changing, such cst cnsideratins may n lnger matter as much, experts say.
12. Why des the authr mentin Hngguang Mini?
A. T present a fact.B. T give an example.
C. T intrduce a tpic.D. T make an assumptin.
13. What will pssibly lead t the drp in battery csts in the future?
A. Mre EV shps.B. Prductin grwth.
C. Sufficient supplies.D. Technlgy imprvement.
14. What des the authr think f the prspect f EVs?
A. Prmising.B. Unclear.C. Dubtful.D. Cnfusing.
15. What can be inferred frm the text?
A. At present demands fr EVs beat supply.
B. Peple cncern price mre when buying cars.
C. EVs sell much better than fssil-fuel vehicles.
D. Peple prefer EV mainly because f cnflict.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【语篇解读】本文为一篇说明文。讲述的是由于俄罗斯和乌克兰冲突以及环保问题，汽油和柴油的价格有所上涨，越来越多人选择电动汽车。随着电动汽车电池成本的增加，电动汽车的价格也是水涨船高，即便如此，世界各地的人们仍在排队购买。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Fr a smaller vehicle like the Hngguang Mini, the best-selling EV in China, the higher battery csts added almst $1,500, equal t 30 percent f the listed price. ”（对于中国最畅销的电动汽车——红光Mini这样的小型汽车来说，更高的电池成本增加了近1500美元，相当于标价的30%。）可知，此处是承接文章第一段中的“Electric vehicle, EV, demand has stayed strng even as the average cst f lithiumin(锂离子)battery cells increased t an estimated $160 per kilwatt-hur in the first quarter frm $105 last year. ”（尽管第一季度锂离子电池的平均成本从去年的105美元/千瓦时上升到160美元/千瓦时，电动汽车的需求仍然强劲。）中的客观事实，故文中第二段提到the Hngguang Mini是举例子来说明锂离子电子电池成本上升的事实。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Experts say battery csts culd stay high fr the next year r s, but then anther large drp is likely as big investments by autmakers and suppliers change the balance frm shrtage t surplus. ”（专家表示，电池成本可能在未来一年左右保持在高位，但随后可能会出现另一次大幅下降，因为汽车制造商和供应商的大笔投资将电池从短缺转为过剩。）可知，在未来导致电池成本价格降低的原因是汽车制造商和供应商的大笔投资将电池从短缺转为过剩。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ But with gasline prices high and cnsumer preferences changing, such cst cnsideratins may n lnger matter as much, experts say.”（但专家说，随着汽油价格高企和消费者偏好的改变，这种成本考虑可能不再那么重要。）可知，这是专家的观点，作者在文中并未提及未来电动汽车的前景，关于电动汽车的论述都是以客观的态度来陈述。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“This year, peple arund the wrld are lining up t buy electric vehicles even as prices increase. ”（今年，尽管电动汽车价格上涨，但世界各地的人们仍在排队购买。）以及倒数第二段中“but then anther large drp is likely as big investments by autmakers and suppliers change the balance frm shrtage t surplus.”（但随着汽车制造商和供应商的大笔投资将供需平衡从短缺转为过剩，可能会出现另一次大幅下降。）可知，当下对电动汽车的供需是短缺状态。故选A。
