[2023·大连市高三双基测试卷]Frm train tickets t dctr's appintments, there's a grwing expectatin that cnsumers shuld include technlgy in everyday life. We take it fr granted that technlgy brings us clser and imprves ur access t essential prducts and services. But peple wh can't r dn't want t engage with the latest technlgy are being left behind.
Technlgy shuld nt be allwed t drive peple t the side f their wn lives, as many facts suggest is increasingly the case. Fr example, there have been reprts that sme elderly peple n lnger drive t their lcal parks, because they cannt dwnlad the car parking app required. Obviusly, age is ne big predictr f digital exclusin (数字排斥). Only 47% f thse aged 75 and ver use the Internet regularly. Out f the 4 millin wh have never used the Internet in the UK, nly 300，000 peple are under 55. But lder peple aren't the nly nes feeling shut ut.
Cncerns abut privacy can stp peple using technlgy as well. A survey int cnsumers' trust in businesses shwed n industry reached a trust rating f 50% fr data prtectin. Sme peple view “frced”digitalizatin as a symbl f cnsumer culture and limit their cntact with it; als, many peple take a “less is mre”apprach t technlgy simply because they feel it ffers a mre meaningful existence. They all belng t a ppulatin grup that ften slips peple's mind in related discussins. N ne culd discunt, hwever, ne factr—pverty. Sme regins, particularly rural nes, even struggle fr phne signals. The UK phne netwrk's plans fr a digital switchver culd cut ff peple wh rely n their landlines.
The slutin is nt simply t give devices t thse withut smart technlgy. While there's a need t prvide affrdable Internet access and technlgy, we need t recgnize diversity in sciety. Services shuld prvide nndigital selectins that reflect equality. Lcal cuncils, healthcare prviders and businesses shuld understand mre abut the diversity f cnsumers and develp services that meet the needs f all peple. After all, access t and inclusin in sciety is a human right.

[2023·成都市高三摸底测试]During spring, meltwater frm snw rushes dwn rivers and wind blws hard in the Pacific Nrthwest. These frces turn pwer turbines (涡轮机) and generate much electricity at a time f mild temperatures and lw energy demand. But much f the extra electricity—which culd pwer air cnditiners in summer—is lst, since when mst cnventinal batteries aren't in use, chemical reactins happen. Sme rechargeable batteries lse almst a third f their charge in a mnth.
Researchers at Pacific Nrthwest Natinal Labratry (PNNL), a US Department f Energy (DOE) natinal labratry, are develping a new battery. They demnstrated hw a mlten salt (熔盐) slutin creates a rechargeable battery that stres energy cheaply and efficiently fr extended perids. Such a capability is crucial t shifting the electric netwrk away frm traditinal fuels tward renewable energy. “In ur battery, we tried t stp selfdischarge，” says Li Gusheng, wh leads the prject. Creating a battery that can withstand repeated cycles f heating and cling is tugh. Researchers had t identify materials that culd tlerate temperature changes. The result is a battery made frm relatively inexpensive materials that has seasnal shifting capability.
Heating mlten salt batteries may be a challenge, especially in cld places. Even under mild cnditins, the heating prcess requires energy equal t abut 10 t 15 percent f the battery's ttal electricity, Li says. Later phases f the prject will explre ways t lwer temperature requirements and include a heating system in the battery itself. Such a feature wuld make it easy fr users t use and ptentially make it suitable fr hme r smallscale (小规模的) use.
The DOE is wrking t narrw the gap between initial research demnstratins and the cmmercializatin f energy technlgies, but ultimately it'll be up t industries t develp a cmmercial prduct. “Our jb is really t derisk new technlgy，” Sprenkle, a strategic advisr, says. “Industries will make the decisin as t whether they think that it's been derisked enugh, and whether they'll take that n and run with it.”
5．What is wasted in Pacific Nrthwest's spring?
A．Natural frces.
B．Seasnal pwer.
C．Mild temperature.
D．Cnventinal batteries.
6．What is ne ptential advantage f mlten salt batteries?
A．String electricity lnger.
B．Cnsuming less energy.
C．Making the mst f fuels.
D．Building an electric netwrk.
7．What des Li's team aim t d next?
A．Find a new heating system.
B．Develp the battery n a large scale.
C．Simplify the use f the battery.
D．Cmmercialize energy technlgies.
8．What is Sprenkle's attitude t the cmmercializatin f the battery?
A.Hpeful. B．Cautius.
C．Disapprving. D．Uncertain.
