12、chnology(IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. “Now, a student doesnt even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet,” said Prakash Gopalan, dean for Student Affairs. “The old dormitory cu

13、lture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.”IIT-Mumbai, with about 5000 students, is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technolo

14、gy giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students, Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet

15、 access in their boarding houses t help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming.“Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. at IIT-Mumbais 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early

16、and to try and force them out of their shells.” Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. “Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby to go to sleep.” said Rajiv, an electronics student.21.According to the text, the students

20、uture? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in the US, it might be leaves -but artificial(人造的)ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis. Now researchers have found a way to

21、imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts. Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases a

22、re then stored in a fuel cell, which uses those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countri

23、es. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too ex

24、pensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, by contrast, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements

25、come from Noceras recent discovery of several powerful, new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one . B

26、esides, the device can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesnt need pure water. This is important for some countries that dont have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”, scientists believe that the new technology co

27、uld be widely used in developing countries, specially in India and rural China.25.Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?A. artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenB. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellC.

28、 the artificial leaves are put in waterD. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA. c,a,b,d B. c,b,a,d C. b,c,a,d D. c,a,d,b26.The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to_A. build up more power stations in the worldB. provide cheaper energy

29、for developing countriesC. offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD. gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process27. The main idea of this passage is _A. an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB. a mixture of water power and solar energyC. giving energy to

30、the poorD. an invention copying photosynthesis C In December, 2010, many American newspapers publish a list of the best books of the year. Freedom by Jonathan Franzen is one of the most repeatedly praised books on this years list of favorites. It tells about the ups and downs of the Berglund family

31、over many years.
