Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) are compounds that are set to solve some tough challenges: producing
water in the desert, removing greenhouse gases from the air and storing dangerous gases more safely.
The Arizona desert is really dry. Anyone stuck in it without water would die from dehydration （脱水）
within three days. Unless, that is, they had one of Omar Yaghi’s next-generation water harvesters. Although
daytime humidity（湿度）is only about 10 per cent, this rises to 40 per cent at night, which means there’s enough
water in the atmosphere to support life — if it can be transformed into liquid form.
That’s exactly what Yaghi’s device does. It’s a box about the size of a small microwave oven designed to suck
the humidity from the air at night and turn it into drinking water the next day using only the heat of the sun as its
power source. What makes it work is a special material called a metal-organic framework (MOF), which at normal
temperatures attracts water molecules (分子) onto its surface of its internal pores（细孔）. Warm it up and the
water is released, each harvest producing one-third of a cup of pure drinking water.
“With further improvements, a device, the size of a washing machine, could produce enough water for the
basic needs of a household,”says Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California. One-third of the world’s
population lacks safe drinking water; for them such a device could be a lifesaver.
These crystalline cluster（结晶群）of metals, such as aluminum or magnesium, linked by organic molecules
can be made into materials with an extremely high absorption ability, attracting specific molecules to their surface.
In this way, MOFs cling to a variety of liquids and gases.
MOFs work thanks to their unique structure---large quantities of nanometer-sized internal spaces. In fact one
MOF has so many pores that they would cover an area as large as six football fields. MOFs are also extremely
stable light and have many different uses: their molecular structure can be varied to attract specific molecules, such
as water, and their pores can be designed to best store them. Adding a small amount of heat or pressure causes the
MOF to release what it is holding. More than 70,000 different MOFs have been produced to date for various
applications.
59. Why is the Arizona desert mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. To introduce water harvesters.
B. To stress the importance of water.
C. To express the urgent need for water there.
D. To show its serious condition.
60. What plays a vital role in water harvesters?
A. solar energy. B. water molecules.
C. a small microwave oven D. metal-organic frameworks.
61. What does the underlined phrase "cling to" in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. hold onto B. break down C. give off D. turn into8
62. What will probably be covered in the following paragraphs?
A. The future of the MOF technology. B. Other uses of the MOF technology.
C. The limitation of the MOF technology. D. The improvement of the MOF technology.
C
GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind-broadening experience. That statement is probably made
in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true?
Jessika Golle of the University of Tübingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is
not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who
have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent
their immediate post-school years in vocational ( 职 业 的 ) training for work. However, it was not the case that
university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.
Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German
youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including
openness, conscientiousness（认真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and
enterprising. They administered both tests twice—once towards the end of each volunteer’s time at school, and then
again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice
between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned
for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.
When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to
university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not
that much changed in personality, either—except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious.
That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch
of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group,
again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in
tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers.
Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But
many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for
example, computer programmers and finance-sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct,
and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices,
that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.
63. Which of the following can best replace “beckoned for” in Paragraph 2?
A. Examined. B. Attracted. C. Organized. D. Recognized. 9
64. What can we learn from the research?
A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities. B. Going to university is a mind-broadening experience.
C. Working straight after school narrows people’s minds. D. College students pride themselves on their
education.
65. According to the last two paragraphs, _______
A. college students enjoy a very good public image
B. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitude
C. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasks
D. people show less interest in investigative jobs due to vocational training
66. What is the author’s attitude towards the finding?
A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Unclear. D. Sceptical.
D
My father and I have been separated for over two years. He was physically violent and emotionally abusive to
me throughout my childhood, and I felt that I couldn’t forgive him. And yet, now he is dying, unconscious and
struggling to breathe through an oxygen tube after a major stroke, all I can think of is how much he loved me.
How he would hold my fringe (刘海) back and kiss me on the forehead before school. How he bought me a
pottery set and roller skates, although we were struggling by on just his salary, and allowed me to skate to school.
How he would play chess and tennis with me, and take me to endless chess and tennis tournaments, even though I
never won anything. How he would read the Guardian every day and fill in the quick crossword, but leave a few
clues and praise me if I solved them. He kept every one of my Guardian columns, and every article I ever had
published, even during our many estranged (疏远) periods. He gave me a lot of his savings to buy a flat after I
became a single mum. And he set my date of birth as the passcode on his phone.
Yet I’m ashamed to say I blamed him, often, for everything: my anorexia (厌食症), my cutting, my anxiety,
my depression... He was there during the tough times, yet all I could think was that the tough times happened
because of him, forgetting that the causes of events are complex, and that plenty of people who had happy
childhoods have to deal with mental illness and domestic violence too.
I even stopped him from seeing my daughter, the thing that brought him most happiness, because I was scared
he would hurt her, and that her life would be like mine. That decision would mean he never spoke to me again.
When we spent time together in previous years, my father hugged me a lot yet never talked much. Born in
1930s America during the Depression, he was a man of few words, a silent romantic who signed his empty
Valentine’s cards to my mother with only his first initial. I know he thought I talked too much; ironically, I never 10
told him what I needed to. Knowing he was old, I tried to get back in touch several times to make things right, but
my mother said he didn’t want to hear from me. I understand that. Why would he want to hear from the daughter
who was never able to forgive him for his mistakes; who brought them up time after time, unable to accept his
apologies? Who prevented him from seeing his granddaughter? Who scolded him for his faults, yet never
acknowledged his numerous kindnesses?
It’s much too late now. When I sit by his hospital bed and hold his large wrinkled hand, far too warm, and ask
him to squeeze it if he can hear me, he doesn’t. So I tell him a few of the things I should have told him when he was
conscious, though it’s hard to say the words: that I love him very much, and that I’m sorry about the estrangement.
And it reminds me of what I’ve known for a long time: that my dad didn’t know how to be a father to me when I
was young, because his father was abusive to him as a child. His father died estranged from his son; my father is
dying estranged from his daughter.
I never thought that I’d feel this broken at losing him. I fantasize that his eyes will open, and that he will be
conscious again for just a few days. I will give him a letter thanking him for all the things I have remembered while
writing this piece, and apologizing for all the ways I have wronged him. And when I deliver the letter, I will bring
my five-year-old daughter with me, so he can see her happiness and sweetness, and learn that the chain of hurt that
has been passed down from generation to generation has finally been broken.
67. The separation between Father and the daughter is mainly caused by ______.
A. Father’s cruelty towards the daughter B. Father’s irresponsibility for the family
C. the daughter’s protection of her kid from harm D. the daughter’s misunderstanding of her father
68. Father rejected his daughter’s offer to get in touch with him because ______.
A. he was too ashamed to face his daughter B. he couldn’t support his daughter any more
C. he couldn’t pardon his daughter’s ignorance D. he was content to live away from his daughter
69. What message does the author want to convey in the underlined part?
A. The granddaughter will break the family chain to live freely.
B. The previous way of family education will no longer continue.
C. There will be no restriction in the family from that moment on.
D. Father will leave the world without any regrets and sufferings.
70. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. East or west, home is best B. A good medicine tastes bitter 11
C. It’s no use crying over spilt milk D. Where there is life, there is hope
