Martha’s Vineyard has long been considered a favorite quiet of the Northeast. The vineyard is rich in history, breathtaking beaches, and beautiful scenery. It is well known for its unique lighthouses – you’ll enjoy the variety and the history of each lighthouse, among the most photographed structures on the Vineyard. When the former First Family, the Clintons, chose to vacation on the island several years ago, it became a more popular tourist attraction.

Martha’s Vineyard got its name from its discoverer, Bartholomew Gosnold, who gave it the name of his wife Martha and was in memory of the thick growth of wild trees on the land. The island of Martha’s Vineyard lies south of Cape Cod off the southeastern coast of

Massachusetts,United States. It is nearly 20 miles long and runs from 2 to 10 miles in width. There are wide, hard beaches on the southern side. The north is hilly, but in the south and eastern parts there are wide areas of open land covered with wild flowers.

The island was discovered early in the 17th century. The Indians were quiet and friendly, and the new-comers fished for a living, making a lot of money from whaling (捕鲸). With the decline (衰落) of whaling and sailing ships, Martha’s Vineyard was almost forgotten until about 60 years ago when people began to buy the old houses of the whaling captains and the small buildings of the fishermen near the beaches. Now people go there year after year for their summer holidays.

1.What is Martha’s Vineyard famous for? A.Lighthouses. B.A long history. C.Friendly Indians. D.Fishing industry.

2.Which of the following maps tells where Martha’s Vineyard is? (Mas = Massachusetts;C = Cape Cod;M = Martha's Vineyard)

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A.How the island got its name. B.The population of the island. C.The scenery of the island. D.When the island was discovered. 4.When you visit Martha’s Vineyard, _________. A.you can see a lot of hills in the eastern parts

B.you can enjoy the sunshine on the beach on the northern side

C.you can live in the fishermen’s old houses in the hills

D.you can see different kinds of lighthouses and learn about the history

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU)

researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

[来源:Z+xx+k.Com] “To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”,said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclea r battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various

micro/nanoelectromechanreal systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”

His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconducto r rather than a solid semiconductor.

“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.” Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink i ts size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair. 5. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

A. He teaches chemistry at MU. B. He developed a chemical battery. C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.

D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering. 6. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________. A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied. B. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used. C. to describe a nuclear-powered system. D. to introduce various energy sources.

7. Liquid semiconductor is used to _________. A. get rid of the radioactive waste B. test the power of nuclear batteries. C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries D. reduce the damage to lattice structure.

8. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.

A. uses a solid semiconductor B. will soon replace the present ones.
