53、作品。故選B。BHave you ever seen a solar panel（太陽能電池板）in your neighborhood? Solar panels take energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Over the past ten years, the price of solar panels has gone down greatly. In many parts of the world, solar energy is now the cheapest form of electricity. More a

54、nd more people have started using solar energy to power（給供電）their homes. However, solar panels also have their problems. They stop working at night and on rainy days. Is it possible to make them produce electricity all of the time? Scientists at Suzhou University, China, have invented a new solar pa

55、nel now. It can produce electricity not only from solar energy but also from falling rain. When a raindrop falls on the solar panel and then rolls（滾動(dòng)）down, it creates friction（摩擦力）on the surface of the panel, which can then be turned into electricity. Sun Baoquan is one of the inventors. “Our new in

56、vention can produce electricity in any weather during the day,” he says. “It can even provide electricity at night if there is rain.”The solar panel, however, does not make much electricity from falling rain. So Sun Baoquan is still working hard to improve it. The scientist also wants to make solar panels more flexible, which are as soft as clothing. The field of solar energy is developing fast.
