英语科普环保类阅读试题答案及解析1. February 16, 2014（VOA）JAKARTA — The United States and China say they recognize the need for "urgent action" to address the twin challenges of climate change and the air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called for greater political will to address a warming planet.China is the leading producer of greenhouse gases and joins the United States as the largest consumers of energy. So U.S. officials say the world's two biggest economies agreeing to limit emissions and promote energy efficiency in buildings and industry "sends a strong message to the world" that this is an issue that needs to be addressed now.Following that agreement with Chinese leaders, Secretary Kerry told an audience in Indonesia that Washington hopes this "unique partnership" with Beijing will help set an example for global leadership and global seriousness on climate change.Kerry Warns About Global Climate Change"Together we account for roughly 40 percent of the world’s emissions. But this is not just about China and the United States," Kerry said. "It is about every country on Earth doing whatever it can to pursue cleaner and healthier energy sources.Kerry said scientific evidence compels the world to act."It is not a lack of ability that is the problem," Kerry said. "It is a lack of political resolve that is standing in our way.The European Union is calling for a 40 percent cut in carbon emissions by 2030. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso says that target is ambitious and affordable."It shows that we are beyond debate where we either have to be green or a defender of industry," Barroso said. "We believe these two issues are not contradictory, but can perfectly go together if handled smartly.Some European parliamentarians and some environmentalists believe the carbon reduction goals do not do enough to encourage cleaner energy. Jason Anderson heads European climate and energy policy for the World Wildlife Fund."We want to make sure that they do not put the brakes on the energy transition that we are seeing now," Anderson said. "Their ambitions for renewable energy would actually slow down the pace of change, which it is completely senseless as it is one of those areas of the economy that is growing right now.Kerry's climate speech was the first in a series of events meant to focus on cutting carbon emissions before talks in Paris next year on coming up with a successor to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which was never ratified by the United States. （）419【1】European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso believes that________.A．The European Union accounts for 40 percent of the world’s emissions.B．we either have to be green or a defender of industry.C．we have to be green and a defender of industry if handled smartly.D．the carbon reduction goals do not do enough to encourage cleaner energy.【答案】C【解析】考查细节理解。

3D printing reveals the power of shark skinBy Jonathan Webb Science reporter, BBC NewsThe printed replica included tough "denticles" embedded in a smooth, flexible membraneContinue reading the main storyScientists have used a 3D-printed model of shark skin to show howtooth-like scales help the predators to cruise efficiently.Viewed up close, a shark's skin bristles with tiny teeth or "denticles"which aid swimming.Engineers have tried to mimic the roughness of shark skin whendesigning swim suits and even racing cars.But the denticles have never been so well reproduced before, says areport in the Journal of Experimental Biology.Perhaps counter-intuitively, creating turbulence near the edge of amoving object can reduce drag. In this way, the denticles act like thedimples on a golf ball. Now, researchers have also seen them alterspecific currents that help propel the shark through water.George Lauder and his colleagues took a detailed scan of a tiny square of skin from a mako shark, and built a 3D model of a single denticle just 0.15mm long.The challenge was then to manufacture a synthetic skin, with thousands of these denticles embedded in a smooth, flexible membrane."It took us about a year," said Prof Lauder, of Harvard University.First the team made a detailed 3D model of a single denticle3D printing builds up new objects layer-by-layer, following acomputer-generated design. To print the shark skin, the scientists had to use two different materials for the hard, tooth-like structures and for the flexible base - much like the different coloured inks used to print a picture.The particular shape of the denticles also posed difficulties: "Because they're overhung, the 3D printers have to print a supporting material, which you then have to remove," Prof Lauder told the BBC. "It took a while to work out all the tricks."The artificial skin has impressed Oliver Crimmen, a fish expert at the Natural History Museum who has previously advised Speedo on swim suit design."I used to think, how on earth would you mimic that complex structure accurately?" he said. "3D printing is it - what a marvellous application for it."Because the resolution of even the latest 3D printers is limited, the artificial denticles are about 10 times larger than the real ones seen on the skin of a mako shark.Nonetheless, when the team stuck the new artificial skin onto a small, flexible paddle and studied it in a water tank, they were able to see the benefit sharks glean from their unusual scales.A paddle with the new, toothy skin delivered a boost of up to 6.6% in swimming speed, compared to one coated with the smooth membrane alone. The artificial denticles also allowed the paddle to travel the same simulated distance while using 5.9% less energy."That's a huge effect, when factored over the entire lifetime of an animal that is constantly swimming," said Prof Lauder.Sharks' specialised skin appears to help most when they are cruising, rather than accelerating to catch preyMr Crimmen agrees. "If you think about it, sharks, which don't have a swim bladder... are on the go most of their lives. Swimming's hard work, especially if you're of any size."Interestingly, the advantages were most obvious at relatively slow speeds, when the shark is cruising rather than pouncing. "It's during the steady, long-distance migrations that you'd really begin to see the benefits," Prof Lauder explained.Using a specialised technique to photograph the flow of water, the team also found that the "leading edge vortex", a small whirlpool of low pressure generated by the paddle's movement, was stronger with the denticles than without.Prof Lauder believes this change in water flow could be crucial. "It can help suck the fish forward," he said. "One of the things that our flow visualisation has suggested is that the structure of the skin may actuallyincrease the thrust - the engine of propulsion - rather than just reducing the drag."When attached to a paddle and studied in a water tank, the artificial skin strengthened the "leading edge vortex" created by a swimming motion. Video courtesy of L. Wen, J. Weaver, G. LauderResearchers have studied the fluid dynamics of moulds and real samples of shark skin before. Prof Lauder is especially pleased with this new, 3D-printed model because it moves and bends, just like sharks. "You have a rigid scale structure embedded into a flexible membrane, that can then swim."Don't expect to be pulling on a denticle-laden swim suit any time soon, however. Transferring this type of design to a textile might take decades, Prof Lauder said. "But if you could do it, you would see a dramatic effect on swimming performance!"The idea of copying design elements from biological systems is known as biomimetics.3D printing technology has made such mimicry a lot easier and, importantly, it allows the designs to be tweaked. For example, Prof Lauder and his team have already begun to play with the spacing, arrangement and shape of the denticles. "I want to know what causes this effect," he said.Aside from that curiosity, Prof Lauder enjoys learning from nature. "It pays us to understand how the natural world works," he told BBC News. "Millions of years of evolution give us solutions to problems that we may not have thought of."3D打印解密鲨鱼皮的作用BBC新闻乔纳森·韦伯报导被打印出的仿制品上有一层坚韧的“齿”，它们嵌入光滑的，柔韧的细胞膜表面。

【原文·外刊阅读】Newborn great white shark possibly seen in the wild for the first time（文章来源：New Scientist新科学家）A newborn great white shark may have been spotted in the wild for the first time. Although great whites are found in seas and oceans around the world, very little is known about where and how they give birth.Wildlife film-maker Carlos Gauna and Phillip Sternes from the University of California, Riverside, were filming with a drone off Santa Barbara on California’s coast when they saw a 1.5-metre-long, entirely white shark. This caught their eye, not just because it was much smaller than adult great white sharks that are up to three times longer, but because these sharks are normally grey on top, despite their name, and white underneath.The pair had previously seen large, possibly pregnant great whites in the area sink into the depths for long periods, and they noticed that this young shark was shedding something from its skin as it swam. They realised that it was probably a pup born nearby still shedding its embryonic layer – something has never been observed before. Gauna hopes that the sighting will tell us more about the life cycle of the great white. It is generally believed that they give birth in deeper water, but this observation calls that into question.“Because most of the scientific community believed filming a newborn so close to shore wasn’t likely, I didn’t expect to find anything. But as I always tell people, if you don’t look, you will never know,” says Gauna. “Thepiece of the puzzle this footage provides does have the potential to change the direction of where we should be looking.”“Capturing the actual birth is the holy grail of shark science. What I filmed is simply a clue that gets us closer to it,” he says. “Because of the limitations of filming underwater [and] the unpredictability of the event, it’s a tall order to capture the actual birth.”Charles Underwood at Birkbeck, University of London, says only three or four great white sharks under a year old have previously been found in the wild – they are few enough that researchers have nicknamed them all.“Weirdly, we know very, very little about them. As soon as something goes into deep water, we really know nothing,” says Underwood. “They’re elusive, relative to our abilities to look through the sea.”Gauna and Sternes say one sighting isn’t enough to put an end to the mystery, and more work needs to be done to determine if their sighting was typical. But if we discover that coastal waters are important for the life cycle of great whites, politicians should move to protect these areas to ensure the sharks’ safety, they say.【原创·阅读理解】1.What caught the attention of the wildlife film-makers off the coast of Santa Barbara?A.

But what enables the mountain to store all that energy is plain in an aerial photo. The summit plateau is occupied by a large lake that hangs high above the Tennessee River, so close it looks like it might fall in.Almost half a century ago, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TV A), the region’s federally owned electric utility, built the lake and blasted out the cavern as well as a 329-meter-tall shaft that links the two. “It was quite an effort to drill down into this mountain, because of the amount of rock that’s here,” senior manager Holli Hess says dryly. The cavern holds a candy-colored powerhouse, filled with cherry-red electrical ducts and vents and beams in a pale grape. Four giant cylinders, painted bright green and yellow, are the key machines: Each one houses a turbine that becomes a pump when it spins the other way, and a generator that is also an electric motor.At night, when demand for electricity is low but TVA’s nuclear reactors are still humming, TVA banks the excess, storing it as gravitational potential energy in the summit lake. The pumps draw water from the Tennessee and shoot it straight up the 10-meter-wide shaft at a rate that would fill an Olympic pool in less than 6 seconds. During the day, when demand for electricity peaks, water drains back down the shaft and spins the turbines, generating 1700 megawatts of electricity—the output of a large power plant, enough to power 1 million homes. The lake stores enough water and thus enough energy to do that for 20 hours.Pumped storage hydropower, as this technology is called, is not new. Some 40 U.S. plants and hundreds around the world are in operation. Most, like Raccoon Mountain, have been pumping for decades.But the climate crisis is sparking a fresh surge of interest. Shifting the electric grid away from coal and gas will require not only a lot more solar panels and wind turbines, but also a lot more capacity to store theirintermittent output—to keep electricity reliable when the Sun doesn’t shine and winds are calm. Giant versions of the lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles are also being deployed on the grid, but they’re too expensive to do the job alone. Dozens of new technologies, including different battery designs, are at various points on the road from lab bench to commercialization.Pumped storage, however, has already arrived; it supplies more than 90% of existing grid storage. China, the world leader in renewable energy, also leads in pumped storage, with 66 new plants under construction, according to Global Energy Monitor. When the giant Fengning plant near Beijing switches on its final two turbines this year, it will become the world’s largest, both in terms of power, with 12 turbines that can generate 3600 megawatts, and energy storage, with nearly 40,000 megawatt-hours in its upper reservoir.【原创·阅读理解】1.What is the primary purpose of the machines hidden in Raccoon Mountain?A.

First deployed during World War II to simulate nuclear weapons and artillery trajectories, nascent computers were soon adopted by meteorologists to simulate the future state of the atmosphere, creating the modern discipline of numerical weather prediction. And although that discipline has grown ever more sophisticated and now produces reliable forecasts several weeks in advance, its approach has remained the same: using massive amounts of computing power to solve the fluid dynamics equations governing the atmosphere.Over the past year, artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to change that. Tech companies including Google, Huawei, and Nvidia have trained AI models to predict the weather up to 10 days in advance, with an accuracy rivaling or even topping traditional models—and with far less computational overhead. Rather than solving equations, these “deep learning” models predict the near future based on patterns learned through training on 40 years of past weather, as captured by observations fed through the numerical model of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the world’s top forecaster. Once trained, the models can spit out a forecast on a desktop in 1 minute rather than taking 2 hours to run on a supercomputer. But as with most AI, no one truly knows what patterns they’re learning.ECMWF has already begun to produce its own AI forecast, and other weather agencies are scrambling to catch up. The new models aren’t perfect. They struggle to predict certain essential features—hurricane intensity, for example. But researchers expect AI forecasters will only improve as they begin to learn from direct weather observations collected by sensors, not just data already passed through existing models. And their speed will likely allow forecasters to run them many times over, capturing the full spread of uncertainty that results from butterfly effects in the atmosphere.No one expects traditional numerical weather prediction to disappear; climate models, for example, rely on the same equation-solving paradigm. AI may struggle to take over these forecasts because its models simulate changes in a future that may not resemble the training data of the past.But in the long term, the output of supercomputer-driven climate models could itself become training data for a climate forecasting AI—which might ultimately outstrip its mentors.参考译文：AI天气预报员登场几乎与现代计算机诞生同时，它就被用于天气预报。

中文科技论文(5篇)中文科技论文(5篇)中文科技论文范文第1篇[关键词]科技类文章；事实细节；推断推想我们英语教学最重要的目的之一就是培育同学的阅读水平。

因此，英语试题中占分最多的就是阅读题，而其中有一个题材就是科普类文章，这种文章是同学们最头痛的。

经过多年的教学积攒的阅历，我想在这篇论文中谈一下我对于这种题材的应对方法。

科普类文章主要是介绍国内外最新的科技动态以及和日常生活亲密相关的科技学问，属于说明文范畴。

这种文章具有以下特点：1、科技词汇多，而词汇的意义比较单一、稳定而且不带感彩。

文章中不常常消失排比比方等修辞方法。

2、句子结构简单，语法分析困难。

通常会使用长句子来严密地表达自己的思想或描述某个新技术。

3、常使用被动语态。

综合这些特点，都使得这种科普类文章对于高中生来说有些难以理解，然而这种题型也是有章可循的。

下面的文章中我想来谈一下对于这种文章的分析结构。

一、科技论文文章结构科技日新月异，因此这类文章也比比皆是，然而，正是由于这种文章的严谨性，我们可以把握它们的规律。

首先，我想先庖丁解牛，分析这种文章的结构。

简洁介绍一下我所列的这个结构图：首先文章会提一下我们的技术现状，尤其是现在科技到达了一种瓶颈期，这就召唤了新科技、新技术的到来。

在介绍了新科技的目的、创造家、新技术材料和工作原理等之后，再对新科技进行评价，在这一段落中，肯定要留意新科技是否已经生产出来还是处于试验室理论阶段；最终，就是对于这种技术的前景的展望。

二、阅读过程留意事项1、看清以下词：designer， architect， inventor， scientist， researcher，create 阅读时，留意这些细节，看清毕竟是谁提出这种理论，而又是谁创造的这种产品的。

2、同学们最担忧遇到生单词，而实际上，有许多单词是不影响阅读的，比如大写字母多为专出名称、人名、地名，不影响理解。

比如说，Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan，Mumbai， the largest city in IndiaYanko DesignThe International Space Station （国际空间站）3、用定语从句来介绍新技术、新创造。

But some divers have no extra protection when they watch sharks. A few swim in waters containing food. People drop it in the water to bring fish close to them.Reports say Markus Groh was in the water with food when he was bitten. His death is the first deadly attack during shark feeding recorded by the International Shark Attack File. But the group has reported many injuries in the sport.VOICE ONE:Many shark divers say it is exciting to swim near the animals. They are likely to dismiss any danger. Those who like shark diving say it increases people's interest in sharks.Such persons say it helps the public understand how important the animals are to the environment. They say it makes people want to protect sharks at a time when some kinds of shark are dying out.Some ocean experts criticize shark diving that involves feeding the animals. They say the fish can become aggressive after having contact with the people feeding them. They say feeding sharks is bad for both animals and human beings. The American state of Florida seemingly agrees. Florida banned the feeding of all sea life, including sharks, in two thousand one.VOICE TWO:Several companies offer diving trips near the Bahamas Islands. That is where Markus Groh died. Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures organized the diving trip taken by the Austrian man. The company has provided passenger boat trips for divers in the Bahamas for several years.Last year, the Bahamas Diving Association criticized such trips. The group wrote to Mister Abernethy's company and others like it. The Association asked that they stop taking people to shark dives without protective cages. It also proposed an end to cageless dives in open waters with possibly dangerous sharks. (MUSIC)VOICE ONE:Markus Groh's death brought criticism of this kind of shark diving. But a group called Shark Savers has praised Jim Abernethy and his company.The group says Mister Abernethy is an ambassador of protection of sharks in the Bahamas. Shark Savers says he brings public attention to sharks' importance in the environment. It says Mister Abernethy's work helps warn people of the danger that some sharks could disappear from Earth.Shark Savers operates a Web site called . It has asked people to add their names in support of cageless shark diving in the Bahamas. The Web site also contains a list of supporters of shark diving in general.VOICE TWO:But an activist organization opposes the feeding of sharks. The Marine Safety Group led the movement for the Florida ban on feeding sharks and other water creatures.The head of the group, Bob Dimond, says sharks normally do not want to be with people. But their excellent sense of smell leads them to food. The smell also causes more sharks than normal to enter the same waters. Mister Dimond says the presence of many sharks increases risk to humans.He adds that shark feeders do not face the most danger from the animals.Instead, people who come near a shark later face the greater threat. By then, he says the fish has linked people with food.VOICE ONE:George Burgess heads the International Shark Attack File and the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida. He also opposes the feeding of sharks. He supports watching them doing normal activities in their natural surroundings.Professor Burgess notes that hundreds of millions ofpeople use the world's oceans. He says this has causedshark attacks to increase during the past century. Still,the Shark Attack File reported only one deadly sharkattack last year. The victim was skin-diving off Tonga.Professor Burgess says the total number of shark attackdeaths through two thousand seven was the lowest in twenty years. He says people have more to fear from some snakes, insects and lightning than from sharks.Taken together, shark attacks are far from the mostdangerous threats to humans.VOICE TWO:The International Shark Attack File describes shark attacks as either provoked or unprovoked. An unprovoked attack means the person is alive when bitten. The person is in the shark's environment. Also, the person must not have interfered with the shark. Professor Burgess says the death of Markus Groh will surely berecorded as provoked.A Florida beach closed in 2005 after a boy wasattacked by a sharkSurprisingly, the International Shark Attack File has records of attacks back to the sixteenth century. How does the group know about attacks hundreds of years ago? With some difficulty, says the professor. His volunteer team of researchers investigates reports. They study old newspapers, books and historic documents. He also says the media provide stories about shark bites. And people who have observed attacks communicate with his team.(MUSIC)VOICE ONE:Many people think of sharks as a deadly enemy. But these fish help the environment. They perform activities that help people. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting means that the many other fish in ocean waters do not become too great. This protects other creatures and plants in the oceans. Sharks also may someday be valuable for treatment of human diseases.During a recent year, business and sport fishing killed an estimated one million or more sharks. Most sharks reproduce only every two years and give birth to fewer than ten young. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is a danger to the future of the animal.Julia Baum of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography worries that some sharks may disappear from Earth. She has noted major decreases in sharks in the northwest Atlantic Ocean.VOICE TWO:Miz Baum and scientist Ransom Meyers carried out studies for Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. Their work showed special danger to large coastal sharks. Populations of tiger, scalloped hammerhead, bull and dusky sharks all had dropped by ninety five percent over five years. The two researchers placed most blame on intensive fishing. This overfishing included catching sharks by mistake.Some scientists say about half of the thousands of sharks caught each year were not the target of the fishing. But no one really knows whether these sharks would survive if they returned to the water.VOICE ONE:People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and shark skin. Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jawbones of a shark. Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin A. Sharkskin can be used like the skin of other animals.Some people enjoy a soup made from shark meat. The popularity of the soup has grown greatly over the years. Today, fishing companies can earn a lot of moneyfor even one kilogram of shark fins. Some restaurants serve shark fin soup for one hundred dollars a bowl.Finning, as it is called, means cutting the fins off a live shark. Some areas ban finning. But illegal shark-fishing is big business.Fishermen often cut off the shark's fins and throw the animal back into the water. The shark is left to bleed to death to save space on the boat.In two thousand four, sixty-three nations approved laws to protect sharks. Some rules are effective near land. But, as George Burgess notes, laws are difficult to enforce on the international waters of the high seas.(MUSIC)VOICE TWO:This program was written by Jerilyn Watson. Our producer was Mario Ritter.
