27、r Evelyn Aravena, “Why dont you have a socket, if there are so many plants? After that, we thought, why dont they have a charging outlet? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy, why not?”Their inventiona small biological circuit called E-Kaiauses

28、 the energy plants to produce during photosynthesis(光合作用 ). A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and thats where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone.“Its the most amazing project Ive ever seen in my life, plain a

29、nd simple. - 6 -They brought this original model, and it worked and thats when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them.“ said Mauricio Cifuentes.The device solved two problems for the engineering students they needed an idea for a class project, and an out

30、let to plug in their phones.“Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we werent able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices,“ said Aravena.But plants are everywhere

31、, and the biocircuit makes the best of their excess(过多的) power.The E-Kaia doesnt carry much charge but its powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale soon.28.

A New Device Invented by Chilean Students Will Be on SaleDEudaimonia is an Ancient Greek word, particularly stressed by the philosophers Plato and A

35、ristotle, which deserves far more attention than it has because it corrects the shortfalls (缺失）in one of the most central, but troubling words in our modem language: happiness.- 7 -When we nowadays try to clearly express the purpose of our lives，it is the word “happiness” that we commonly turn to. W

36、e tell ourselves and others that the most important principle for our jobs, our relationships and the conduct of our day-to-day lives is the pursuit of happiness. It sounds like an innocent enough idea, but too much reliance on the term means that we frequently unfairly tend to quit or, at least, he

37、avily question a great many challenging but worthwhile situations. The Ancient Greeks did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to achieve Eudaimonia, a word which has been best translated as “fulfilment”.What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain.

38、 It is very possible to be fulfilled andat the same timeunder pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and, quite frequently, in an irritable (易怒的）mood. This is a slight psychological difference that is hard for the word “happiness” to capture, for its tricky to speak of being happy

39、yet unhappy, or happy yet suffering.

41、that will deeply exhaust and weaken us, provoke (激怒）and wound us. And yet we will perhaps, at the end of our lives, still feel that the tasks were worth undertaking. Through them, well have achieved something deeper and more interesting than happiness.With the word Eudaimonia in mind, we can stop im

42、agining that we are aiming for a pain-free existenceand then blaming ourselves unfairly for being in a bad mood. Well know that we are trying to do something far more important than smile all the time: were striving to do justice to our full human potential.32. What do we know about “Eudaimonia” fro

It was regarded as the purpose of life in ancient Greece.33. According to Paragraph 3, happiness .A. is the opposite of f

44、ulfillmentB. is free from physical or mental painC. stresses the psychological differenceD. serves as a respected and noble life goal34. We can learn from the passage that .- 8 -A. aiming for happiness may lead to wrong self-blamingB. goals that wound and weaken us result in happinessC. challenges l

46、 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Radar is an electronic device that detects planes, ships, coastlines, landmarks, and even storm clouds.

47、ith radio waves. Without radar, planes could not land safely in bad weather and ships could not move safely in thick fog. _51_In the 1800s it was discovered that radio waves could be reflected from objects.

48、was threatened by war. _52_ It has been used widely in almost every conflict since then.Echoes make it possible for radar to work.

49、n. On the screen an observer sees a flash, or a blip, that shows the direction and distance of the object. _53_Airport control towers use radar to guide planes in for safe landings. Almost all large ships depend on radar to prevent collisions with icebergs or other ships. _54_ Weather forecasters “see” the size, direction, and speed of storms on radar screens. Astronomers can even use radar to
