18、useum for pizza lovers in Americas pizza capital, New York City. The Museum of Pizza is devoted to pizza, cheese and sauce, but theres more to it than meets the tougue.“Its often that the simplest ideas are the best. And we wanted to use pizzas appeal to get people through the door and to look at ar
19、t and hear about history in a different forms,” said Alexandra Serio, Chief Content Officer at Nameless Network, the group that baked the Museum of Pizza idea. Another instantly recognizable characteristic of the space is the bright colors that are weaved (穿行) throughout the exhibitsperfect for taki
20、ng social media-ready pictures.Located on the street level of Brooklyns William Vale hotel, the museum is a large, one-floor space that houses a wide variety of art, from giant photographs to sculptures that surround visitors.Serio said exhibits of this kind are becoming an advantage for museums as
21、they try to get younger legs to walk through their doors. “Its a kind of change,” she said. “Youll see it in the next few years because of museums like the Museum of Ice Cream, and multiple pop-ups (出现) of this kind of museums suiting a younger audience and seeing how they can make their exhibitions
22、 more attractive, touch and photography friendly.”“Honestly, I thought it would be like more of a museum in the beginning, with the pizza boxes and it tells you when it was developed and things like that,” said Nene Raye, visitor from New Jersey.Lydia Melendez, a self-described “pizza fan”, bought h

26、, Pizza CapitalC. Fashionable Museums Appear in AmericaD. Pizza Museum Meets More Than the TongueCIf we want a fair shot at transitioning to renewable energy, well need one critical thing: technologies that can change electricity from wind and sun into a chemical fuel for storage and vice versa (反之亦
27、然). Commercial devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half of the expectation. Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If larger versions work as well, they would help make it possibleor at least more affordableto run the world on renewables
28、.The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States: in 2017, that number was 8%, according to the U. S. Energy Information Administration. But the demand for electricity often doesnt match the supply from so
29、lar and wind. In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students return home.Some companies are beginning to install massive rows of batteries in hopes of storing extra energy and balanc
30、ing the financial sheet. But batteries are costly and store only enough energy to back up the power system for a few hours at most. Another option is to store the energy by transforming it into hydrogen fuel. Devices called electrolyzers (电解器) do this by using electricityideally from solar and wind
31、powerto break down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, a carbon-free fuel. A second set of devices called fuel cells can then transform that hydrogen back to electricity to power cars, trucks, and buses, or to feed it to the power system. But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different cat
32、alysts (催化剂) to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device can t do both jobs. The researchers must conquer this.“They did a really good job with that.” says Sossina Haile, a chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston. Still, she holds a cautious view that both her new device and the on
33、e from the OHayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a societal impact, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.28. What can we learn about the new device from the first paragraph?A. Its universal use re
34、mains to be seen.B. It is more expensive but more practical.C. It can transform more renewable energy.D. It is the most advanced around the world.29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The rapid development of American technologies.B. The potential market for energy transformation technologi
35、es.C. The history of energy transformation technologies.D. The lack of power in California.30. What may the researchers focus on next?A. Lessening costly batteries.B. Increasing the efficiency of the two reactions.C. Looking for one shared catalysts for the two reactions.D Breaking down water into a
36、 carbon-free fuel without using electricity.31. What is Hailes attitude to the future of the new device?A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Critical. D. Cautious.DIt is a question that has long puzzled scientistsexactly why are tigers orange? One might think it makes them more obvious-particularly against
37、a leafy green forest background. William Blake summed it up in his famous poem known by generations of schoolchildren: “Tyger, tyger, burning bright /In the forest of the night.” But now the answer is at hand.While obvious to us, computer simulations (模拟) of what the big cats look to the main animal
38、s they hunt for, deer, show a different picture. Humans with normal colour vision, can see red, blue and green colours. But deer can only pick up blue and green light, they are effectively colourblind to the colour red, like some humans. It means the tigers orange colouration looks green to them, al
39、lowing them to mix perfectly into the background, new research claims.Dr John Fennell at the University of Bristol and colleagues said that they used computers to estimate how noticeable a given animal was. They did this by using images of the environment in which the animal lives, and then creating
40、 images to see whether the camouflage helps the animal to mix in.Dr Fennell writes that by simulating what the world looks like to animals who are “two-colour vision”someone who cannot discover the difference between red and green“we also identify the most suitable colours for hiding and visibility”
41、.Dr Fennell writes in the Royal Society Journal Inter face: “Considering the coat of a tiger, it has fur that appears orange to a three-colour vision observer rather than some shade of green, though the latter should be more appropriate color for an attack hunter in forests. However, when viewed as
42、a two-colour vision observer, the tigers colour is very effective.”The question then arises as to why tigers dont grow green coats. Dr Fennell and colleagues write that mammals (哺乳动物) are not able to produce green fur. To do so would “require a significant change to mammalian biochemistry”. There is
43、 only one mammal known to have green fur but this is achieved through what might be considered as, well, cheating, not exactly real.32. Why does the author mention the poem in paragraph 1?A. To arouse reader s interest in poems.B. To show the authors respect to the poet.C. To answer the question of
44、the color of the tigerD. To stress the noticeable color of the tiger to us.33. What color is inexistent in the eyes of deer?A. Black. B. Red. C. Blue. D. Green.34. What does the underlined word “camouflage” mean in paragraph 3?A. The cover of something.B. The images of something.C. The way of hiding
45、 something.D. The way of hunting for something.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The colour of tigers sometimes cheats people.B. Getting green may prevent tigers from being extinct.C. There are no mammals with real green fur in the world.D. The tigers fur will probably evolve into
