21、   Researchers at MIT and in China developed a simple, solar-powered water desalination (脱盐) system. They have made a breakthrough in getting fresh drinking water from sea water by using sunlight.

As the research paper published in Energy & Environmental Science explains, equipment applied in this system includes several layers of flat evaporators (蒸发器) that turn water sources into fresh water through solar energy, as well as condensers (冷凝器) that cool the gas into the liquid. The authors of the paper are MIT students Lenan Zhang and Lin Zhao, Professor Evelyn Wang, and nine other researchers at MIT and at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.

How the system uses each of the multiple stages to remove salt from the water is critical to its efficiency. The heat released per stage will be used by the next stage. In this way, the team's device can convert the energy of sunlight into the energy of water evaporation with an efficiency of 385 percent.

The device can be considered as a multilayer solar still. The heat is absorbed by its flat panels and then transferred to make water evaporate. The vapor then cools down and turns into liquid water on the next panel. As the water is collected, the released heat is transferred to the next layer.

The team's 10-stage system produces pure water. Its quality is above the city drinking water standards. It also has the highest yield compared to other similar systems, at a rate of nearly six cubic decimeter per hour for every square meter of the solar collecting area. The system is distinguished from some others by the fact that there is no accumulated salt to be got rid of. Most materials of the demonstration unit don't cost much and are easy to get.

Further experiments will be carried out on the device to optimize (优化) the choices of materials and test its durability under realistic conditions. Researchers will also work on the design of the device to make it more consumer-friendly. It is expected that the system could finally help developing regions that are short of electricity supplies but rich in sea water and sunlight handle water crises.

【1】What contributes most to the high efficiency of the device?

A．The choice of materials.

B．The simplicity of the structure.

C．The recycling of released heat.

D．The use of multilayer equipment.

【2】What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?

A．What the device is for.

B．What makes the device.

C．How the device works.

D．How solar energy is collected.

【3】What makes the device different from other systems?

A．Its zero accumulation of salt.

B．Its stable and high production level.

C．The low cost of the materials.

D．The quality of water it produces.

【4】Why will researchers carry out further experiments on the device?

A．To reduce its cost.

B．To check its performance in labs.

C．To make it environment-friendly.

D．To make it suitable for use by consumers.

22、   We all feel anxious from time to time. For many, these uncertain times are a contributor to stress and concern. Anxiety is a normal reaction to a stressful situation, but if feelings of anxiety last a long time or keep returning, you might be experiencing an anxiety disorder.

Dave Smithson from Anxiety UK explains that there are three different aspects of anxiety: physical (how you feel), psychological (what you think), and behavioral (what you do). ” Physical symptoms include an increased heart rate or muscle tension, breathing heavily or dizziness. Psychological symptoms include feelings that you might lose control, faint or think people are looking at you and noticing your anxiety. Behavioral aspects include avoiding the situation that makes you feel anxious. “Those who are usually outgoing may become withdrawn, or those who are reserved may become erratic,” he says. “Everyone’s different, and anxiety can be caused by a range of things.”

Stephen Buckley, from mental health charity Mind, says talking to someone you trust can be helpful. If this isn’t possible, you could call a confidential helpline such as Mind’s Infoline, or those run by Anxiety UK and Samaritans.

Learning to relax through breathing exercises and other techniques can help manage anxiety. “Keeping a record of what started the anxiety and what helps it to pass, such as slowing your breathing or getting outdoors for a walk, can help you understand and spot patterns early on,” Stephen says. Relaxation techniques can include exercises to release tension in your body by relaxing your muscles. Drawing calming circles on paper with coloured pencils or pens is a way to distract you from worrying thoughts.

Other recommendations from Mind include connecting with other people. “This is a vital way of maintaining wellbeing” Stephen adds. “Have regular chats with friends and family over the phone. Talking to people in the same boat can be reassuring. Many people find it helpful to share ideas about how to stay well, connect with others and feel less alone.”

【1】What symptom do people with an anxiety disorder have in common?

A．A strong tendency to avoid meeting people.

B．A temporary decline in thinking ability.

C．A lasting feeling of tension and worry.

D．A violent reaction to a tense situation.

【2】How can people manage anxiety effectively according to Stephen?

A．By predicting conditions that may cause anxiety.

B．By communicating with people they rely on.

C．By relieving tension through hard work.

D．By maintaining their routine life.

【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce the strategies of dealing with anxiety.

B．To analyze the contributors to mental disorder.

C．To distinguish anxiety from anxiety disorder.

D．To clarify different categories of anxiety.
