35、an researchers say they have created a process that can produce oxygen from moon dust. The process could provide a major source of oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future. Researchers from the European Space Agency, or ESA, carried out the experiments at a laborato
36、ry in the Netherlands. They reported their results in a study published in Planetary and Space Science. The team says ESAs experimental plant was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated moon dust. The dust is part of a material known as regolith(月壤), a top layer of dirt and rock pieces th
37、at sit on the surface of the moon. Samples of regolith from the moon have confirmed that the material contains about 45 percent oxygen by weight. However, the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass, so it is not easily available for use. Having real samples of regolith from the
38、 moon made it possible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material used during testing. The oxygen extraction( 提 取 )process is carried out using a method called molten salt electrolysis( 熔 盐 电 解 ). This involves first placing the regolith in a metal container. Calcium chloride sal
39、t is added to the mixture, which is then heated to 950 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the regolith remains solid. Next, an electrical current is passed through the material. The researchers say it is this step that results in oxygen being extracted from the regolith. The study reported that u
40、p to 96 percent of oxygen in the simulated moon dust was extracted during the experiments. ESAs long-term goal is to design an oxygen-producing pilot plant to operate full-time on the moon. The first technology demonstration of the system is expected to take place in the middle of 2020s. The researc
41、hers reported that as a bonus, the process also results in the production of usable metallic materials. 32. What can benefit from the process? A. The treatment of some patients.B. The environment of the moon. C. Future moon exploration activities.D. Future experiment in the laboratory. 33. Why is ox
42、ygen in the regolith hard to use? A. It exists in the form of solid.B. It only exists on the surface. - 8 - C. It is mixed with other materials.D. It is locked in a metal container. 34. What step makes oxygen extracted from the regolith? A.Adding calcium chloride salt to the mixture. B. Placing the
43、regolith in a metal container. C. Passing an electrical current through the material. D. Heating the metal container to 950 degrees Celsius. 35. What does the underlined word simulated in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Mixed.B. Copied.C. Exposed.D.Abandoned. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短
44、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。 Many students study with little thought about what comes after their study session. But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn and remember new information. There are two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful re
45、st and sleep. When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity.36They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studied. The basic idea is this: by reducing your activity after the
46、 study session, your brain gets a chance to rest.37While this might sound unusual to you, many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning-what is called wakeful rest. If you want to give wakeful rest a try, here are a few simple things to do. Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. D
47、o not look at your phone, read stories or play games. Just limit the amount of stimulation(刺激)you get.38 In addition to wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. Sleep itself has a role in the strengthening of memory, which is essential for learning new information. Robert Stickgold is a d
48、octor and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School. Speaking with the US National Institutes of Health, or NIH, he noted that new memories can be hard to keep.39 Sleep is important for forming memories. Stickgold told the NIH you get very little benefit from cutting corners. 40Try to get some wakeful
49、rest after a study session. Then try to get a good nights - 9 - sleep. A. It is really that easy! B. Perhaps they look at their phones or computers. C. Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information. D. When we first form memories, theyre in a very raw and fragile form, he said. E. Wa
50、keful resting led to higher overall recollection in both age groups, the researchers noted. F. We have discussed what you can do before and during a study session to improve your learning. G. Resting is difficult when you have too much stimulation from electronic devices, games, lights and so on. 第三
