lay sleeping all winter they had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would come out in the spring when you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun you ll know that it s

resolutions 决定 they made well we can start by blaming the ancient babylonians around 4 000 years ago in babylon the earliest recorded celebration honoring the coming of a new year was held calendars weren t as they are today so the babylonians did it in late march during the first new moon after the spring equinox 春分 the festivities were meant for the rebirth of the sun god but the babylonians made promises in order to please their gods they felt this would help them start the new year off well resolutions continued on with the romans when the early roman calendar no longer synced 同步 up with the sun julius caesar decided to make a change he consulted with the best astronomers an mathematicians of the time and introduced the julian calendar which more closely represents the modern calendar we use today caesar declared january i the first day of the year to honor the god of new beginnings janus the romans celebrated the new year by offering sacrifices to janus to this day the traditions of the ancient babylonians and romans continue around the world so much that google launched a resolution map in 2013 where people could add resolutions and see others adding theirs in real time however no matter how many people participated in google s project the numbers are bleak when it comes to the number of people who maintain their resolutions only eight percent of people are successful in sticking them out 8 why did the ancient babylonians make promises to their gods a to honor the god of new beginnings b to observe the rebirth of the sun god and please him c to honor the

release enough heat to keep you warm and cozy allowing you to stay comfortable in a cooler room or picture a car windshield that stores the sun s energy and then releases it as heat to make the ice on the windshield disappear according to a team of researchers at mit both cases may be possible before long thanks to a new material that can store solar energy during the day and release it later as heat this transparent polymer film could be applied to many different surfaces such as window glass or clothing solar energy is only available about half the time we need it during daylight for the sun to become a major power provider for human needs there has to be an efficient way to save it up for use during nighttime and stormy days most such efforts have focused on storing and recovering solar energy in the form of electricity but the new finding by mli professor jeffrey grossman postdoc david zhitomirsky and graduate student eugene cho could provide a highly efficient method for storing the sun s energy through a chemical reaction and releasing it later as heat the key to enabling long term stable storage of solar heat the team said is to store it in the form of a chemical change rather than storing the heat itself but heat will disappear over time no matter how good the material around it is so the team set up a chemical storage system that can keep the energy in a stable molecular configuration when exposed to sunlight the molecules can stay that way for long periods then when triggered 触发 by a very specific temperature or something else the molecules return to their original shape giving off heat in the process such chemically based storage materials known as solar thermal fuels stf have been developed before but those earlier efforts were designed to be used in liquid solutions and not able to make durable 耐用的 solid state films the new approach is the first based on a solid state material in this case a polymer and the first based on inexpensive materials and widespread production technology 12 what is the main purpose of paragraph 1 a to show the main idea of the passage b to practice readers imagination c to interest readers in the passage 5 d to introduce a new kind of material 13 according to the passage what can the polymer film do a it can be made into window glass b it can make necessary electricity c it can store energy and release sunshine d it can absorb sunshine and give off heat 14 according to the passage what is stf based on a the chemical reaction b the movement of heat c the form of electricity d the physical reaction 15 what is the advantage of the molecular configuration a it is less expensive b it is very powerful c it is easily available d it is less changeable 第二节 共五小题 每小题第二节 共五小题 每小题 3 3 分 满分分 满分
