9．I don't quite understand your point．Could you please be more explicit about it？

16．Years ago we said that LEDs would be something in the future．But as time goes on，LEDs have become the present because of rapidly falling prices and improving quality．We've firmly entered the LED period，as Lloyd showed with his experience of changing 100% of his lights to LEDs．
The physics Nobel Prize in 2014was given to three well-known Japanese scientists-Isamu Akasaki，Hiroshi Amano，and Shuji Nakamura-who invented the blue LED and made LEDs truly reach their potential as a mass-market light source．
As we can know，LEDs take the lead in the competition when it comes to efficiency（效率）．Most LED lights that you can buy right now can't reach the 300watt shown here，but this is what we know it can be achieved，and over the coming years we should gradually move closer to that goal．
Why was blue so important？Because without it，we couldn't make high-quality white light from LEDs．Red and green LEDs have been around for a long time but blue was really missing．Thanks to the blue LED we now can get white light sources which have very high energy efficiency and very long lifetime．
With good use of LEDs，the world's electricity used for lighting can be reduced greatly．But energy-efficiency isn't the only thing．Material efficiency is also very important for LEDs．A LED can last up to 100，000hours，compared to 10，000hours for fluorescent（荧光）lights and 1，000for incandescent bulbs （白炽灯泡）．This means that only a small part of the bulbs need to be produced over time．That can greatly reduce the costs．Using LEDs，the quality of light is also improved，so that people can better see when they're out at night．

32．Why did the author mention Lloyd's experience？D
A．To compare the prices of lights．
B．To describe the history of LEDs．
C．To tell us LEDs are still on the way．
D．To show the LEDs period has come．
33．We can get the white light fromB．
A．Red LED．
B．Blue LED．
C．Green LED．
D．Orange LED．
34．What can we know about LEDs？D
A．They first appeared in Japan．
B．They have taken place of other lights．
C．They can reach beyond the 300watt at present．
D．The inventors of blue LED won the Nobel Prize．
35．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？C
A．The costs of LED lights．
B．The lifetime of LED lights．
C．The advantages of LED lights．
D．The material efficiency of LEDs．

6．On realizing they had got lost，the teampanicked （惊慌）．They should have stayed calm.90．It couldn't be thevocabulary （词汇） that caused you the problem in the exercise because you know a lot of words．

13．The first day of the month of May is known as May Day．It is the time of year when warmer weather begins．People celebrate the coming of summer with customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter．Today，May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month．It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UK's many attractions，including parks，zoos，historic buildings，ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside．
May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora，the goddess of fruit and flowers，which marked the beginning of summer．People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good luck．In the very early morning，young girls went into the fields and washed their faces with dew （露水）．They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year．
May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many English villages．People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer．This is the origin of the maypole （五月柱）．People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter．Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next．The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the Strand in 1661．It stood more than 143feet high and was cut down in 1717，when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope （反射式望远镜） invented by Dutch scientist Huygens．

A．washing the face with dew
B．going into the fields
C．picking flowers at daybreak
D．getting up early in the morning
23．What can we learn about the maypole？C
A．People climb it on May Day．
B．It was usually found in the cities．
C．It dates from the Middle Ages．
D．People used old，tall trees to make it．
24．The purpose of the text is toD．

10．Does stress cause gray hair？Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color．In fact，it is an old wives tale that being upset all the time can result in premature（过早的） graying．Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives tale could be true．
As one ages，the hairs on the head also age．In fact，just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while．The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled．Hairs on the head grow and eventually die．They are replaced，but in the process something else happens．
When new hairs are replaced，the color or pigment（色素）is also added to them．However，as one ages，this pigment becomes less and less available．At first，hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color．In time，they will lose all of their pigment and will be white．Many things are known to cause graying．and genetics（遗传学） is a very powerful factor．If one of your parents turns gray at an early age，there is a good chance that you will too．Some people begin the graying process in high school，while others may be over the age of forty．
Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body．It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss．It would make sense that if it can cause these problems，perhaps it also may contribute to graying．However，there is no sound evidence to support this．
On the other hand，many medical professionals believe that there may be a link：between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension．Does stress cause gray hair？There is no scientific evidence to support the theory，but it is best to avoid stressful situations．

D．hairs will grow weak but not die
27．From the passage we can infer thatC．
A．stressful situations can be of benefit．
B．gray hair has nothing to do with tension．
C．stress causing gray hair is still in question
D．sound evidence has been found．
28．What might play the most important role in the graying process？B
A．Genetics and the amount of sleeping time
B．The amount of pigment and genetics
C．The amount of food people eat and living environment
D．Genetics and the amount of water people drink．
