A
Solar power is helping bring about a future of cleaner energy, but there are limits to where rigid solar panels (刚性太阳能电池板)can go. A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite (钙钛矿)can go almost anywhere, says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz. We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building, on the roofs of the buildings, on the roofs of the cars and on the electronic devices. We can use it on the sails. We can use it in the balls, tents and unlimited applications. Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers. Because it can be printed, everyone can use it on every surface.
Malinkiewicz developed a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer. She co-founded a company to produce them, called Soleil Technologies, after the Baltic sun goddess. Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters. Adam Targowski is sustainable (可持续的)development manager for Skanska. They work perfectly, even when they are not well exposed to sunlight. So we can use them in all surfaces of the building. Soleil calculates that about one square meter of panel can supply a day’s worth of power for one worker’s computer and lights. And they keep getting better as research continues, says the company’s scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.
For other technologies, it took decades to really enter markets. Perovskite has been around only for few years in scientific research, so there is still a lot to be done, but potential is basically pretty much unlimited, I think. There are still durability and other problems to work out, but several companies expect to have perovskite panels on the market this year.
1、What do we know about perovskite solar cell from the first paragraph?
A．It’s delicate. B．It’s complex. C．It’s flexible. D．It’s expensive.
2、What does the underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?
A．Skanska and Adam Targowski.
B．Malinkiewicz and Skanska.
C．Soleil Technologies.
D．Perovskite panels.
3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．It needs years to put perovskite panels into markets.
B．Scientists think perovskite panels are ready for markets.
C．Perovskite has been studied for decades.
D．Perovskite panels will soon be seen in the market.
4、What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain how to use perovskite panels.
B．To introduce perovskite panels.
C．To advertise a new solar power cell.
D．To propose scientists to further study perovskiet cells.

B
Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them. Within the first month of their lives, babies’ responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of hearing stimulation. They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle. At first, the sounds that a baby notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances(讲话，说话). By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling tones. Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies’ emotional states and behavior. Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is happy or angry, attempting to begin or end new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of clues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech.
Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating(夸张) such clues. One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk. Other researchers have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels(元音) longer, and emphasize certain words.
More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make those precisely perceptual（知觉的，感性的） recognition that are necessary if they are to acquire listening language.
Babies obviously obtain pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding. For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to boring meaning that it often is for adults.
1、The author mentions syllables with rising and falling tones to .
A．show how difficult it is for babies to interpret emotions
B．provide an example of ways adults speak to babies
C．give a reason for babies’ difficulty in telling one adult from another
D．show a six-week-old baby can already tell some language differences
2、What can be inferred about the findings described in Paragraph 2?
A．Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways.
B．Babies ignore facial expressions in understanding listening language.
C．The mothers were unconsciously teaching their babies to speak.
D．Mothers only exaggerate their tones when talking to babies.
3、Why do babies listen to songs and stories, even if they can’t understand?
A．They understand the rhythm. B．They enjoy the sound.
C．They can remember them easily. D．They focus on the meaning.
4、What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Babies can detect sounds other than the human voice.
B．Babies’ ways to learn a language differ from adults’.
C．Babies can respond to the speech before they can speak.
D．Babies can tell the sound of the human voice from other sounds.
