According to the passage，Water Lily Pond broke the last record for Monets paintings by ________. A. $12 million　　 B. $39 millionC. $41.4 million D. $0.32 million2. What can we learn about Water Lily Pond?A. It was once auctioned in America.B. It was cut into halves before World War Ⅱ.C. It had been kept in New York for over 40 years.D. It was once put in Muse de IOrangerie.3. What does Olivier Camu think of the auction?A. Exciting. B. Inspiring.C. Disappointing. D. Frightening.4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Monet and his water lily paintingsB. Monet—a great impressionist artistC. Monets garden and its characteristicsD. Water Lily Pond—Monets bestknown paintingBA new device works like a solar panel，except that it doesnt harvest energy from the sun.It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.A prototype(原型)of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb.A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones.It also could power electronics in remote or lowresource areas that lack electricity.The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space.It then uses that difference to create electricity.As long as one side of it is cooler than the other，the generator can produce electricity.The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate.That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation(隔热材料) to keep out heat.The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate.That plate is warmed by the local air.At night，the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.Researchers tested a 20centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford，California.The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of device.That was enough power to light a small lightemitting diode，or LED bulb.Further improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter.To do that，the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices，says Aaswath Raman.He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California，Los Angeles.“This may be useful in polar regions that dont see sunlight for months at a time，”Raman says，“If you have some lowpower load and you need to power it through three months of darkness，this might be a way.”5. What can we know about the new device?A. I。
