26、Habit refers to a behavior or practice that is often done without thinking. These following books are powerful when they come to building habits you need to succeed.

The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg

The interesting thing about habits is that once we develop them, they go totally unnoticed in our day-to-day activities. You just do it. That’s a habit. The Power of Habit teaches you how to build better habits that serve you both in life and work.

The ONE Thing by Gary Keller, Jay Papasan

One of the biggest reasons why most people fail at keeping their New Year’s resolutions is that they set too many of them to begin with. The key to continuous success is actually simple: focus on one thing and see it through for long enough that you achieve your goals. Success is step by step. You must learn to walk before you run.

Meditations (冥思录) by Marcus Aurelius

This book was written over 1800 years ago. Guess what? The powerful rules, written in the second century, remain just as practical today. Marcus Aurelius was known for going for excellence with strong determination, which was built by way of habit.

30 Days By Marc Reklau

The purpose of the book is to provide you with a 30-day challenge to build habits. What’s nice about this book is that it provides step by step instructions. The book encourages you to learn and apply every single day. It’s easier to do that when you are reading one step every single day for the next 30 days. Of course, you can read them all in one sitting if you like.

【1】Who advises you to form better habits both in life and work?

A．Charles Duhigg.

B．Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.

C．Marcus Aurelius.

D．Marc Reklau.

【2】Which book is most possibly the oldest of the following four?

A．The Power of Habit

B．The ONE Thing

C．Meditations

D．30 Days

【3】What does the book The ONE Thing have in common with 30 Days?

Both of the books believe ______.

A．once developed, all habits are good

B．we develop habits easily and quickly

C．30 days is enough to form a new habit

D．only gradually can we achieve success

27、A new color changing ink could aid in health and environment monitoring—for example, allowing clothing to switch colors when exposed to sweat or a woolen blanket that shifts colors if carbon monoxide enters a room. The ink could be printed on anything from a T-shirt to a tent.

Wearable sensing devices like smart watches use electronics just to monitor heart rate, blood sugar, and more. Now researchers at Tufts University’s Silklab say the new silk-based ink can respond to, and quantify the presence of chemicals on or around the body. “Silk’s ability to act like a protective ‘cocoon(茧)’ for biological materials means the necessary sensing and color-changing materials can be added to the ink without losing their function.” says Fiorenzo Omenetto, a biomedical engineer at Silklab.

The researchers improved on an earlier version that worked with inkjet printers, thickening the ink with a chemical to make it capable for screen printing, and then added various reactive substances. With the new ink, they can now easily print a large number of reactive elements onto large surfaces.

The team made the ink by breaking down raw silk fibers into proteins, which the researchers suspended in water. Next they mixed in various reactive molecules (分子) and analyzed how the resulting products changed hues when exposed to changes in their environment. When printed on fabric, pH indicators, for example, could convey information about skin health and a wearer’s tiredness levels. The changes are visible to eyes, but the researchers also used a camera-imaging analysis to continuously monitor the color variations and create a database of values.

Omenetto says that the ink could be adapted to track environmental changes in a room, or to respond to bacteria and follow disease progression. Mechanical engineer Tyler Ray of Hawaii University notes that most of today’s wearable monitors are rigid, fairly large and heavy. “The new ink technology has the potential to transform consumer wearable monitors from entertainment devices into body worn, clinical grade physiological measurement tools providing useful information and making it easier for physicians to operate.” he says.

【1】What can the new ink be used for?

A．Making pictures

B．Printing documents.

C．Breaking down fibers and proteins.

D．Detecting health and environment changes.

【2】What does Fiorenzo Omenetto mention in paragraph 2?

A．The chemical substances in silk.

B．The practical functions of the silklab.

C．The role of silk in the new ink technology.

D．The influence of the new ink on the human body.

【3】What does the underlined word “hues” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Levels.

B．Colors.

C．Wearers.

D．Analysis.

【4】How does Tyler Ray expect of the wearable monitors using the new ink?

A．Practical

B．Fashionable

C．Large and tight

D．Small but entertaining

28、Underneath the Greenland ice sheet lies a body of water covering an area larger than West Virginia, and until just a few years ago, scientists had no idea that it existed.

First discovered in 2011, scientists now believe it covers some 27, 000 square miles and contains more than 100 billion tons of liquid water.

The melt-water reservoir (蓄水池) was discovered under the ice, in a south-eastern part of Greenland, by researchers from the University of Utah about two years ago. According to the BBC, at first the researchers expected to find waters stored in small spaces between the rocks. What they actually found was a massive reservoir of water trapped in the ice, kind of like the liquid in a snow-cone. Newser quotes lead study author Richard Forster saying, “we thought we had an understanding of how things work in Greenland, but here is this entire storage system of water we didn’t realize was there.”

OK, so snow water under the ice in Greenland; why is this a big deal? Well, researchers say it could provide new clues to understanding Greenland’s ice melts and sea level rise in general. Voice of America quotes Forster saying, “of the present sea level rise, the Greenland ice sheet is the largest contributor, and it is melting at record levels, so understanding the aquifer’s (地下蓄水层) capacity to store water from year to year is important, because it fills a major gap in the overall connection of melt-water runoff and sea levels.” According to researchers, the water is 15 to 60 feet beneath the surface and likely stays fluid because it’s covered by snow. They’re unsure how old the reservoir is or whether it flows into the ocean.

【1】What is true about the water newly found in Greenland?

A. It is probably in the form of liquid.   B. It is widely stored between the rocks.

C. It finally flows into the ocean.   D. It came into being only a few years ago.

【2】The discovery of water in Greenland is very important because ______.

A. it confirms scientists’ previous guess about the storage of water in Greenland

B. it throws new light on the relation between Greenland’s melt water and sea level rise

C. it provides information about the possible amount of water storage in Greenland

D. it solves the problem of the shortage of fresh water in the world for good

【3】What will be the best title of the passage?

A. Ice Sheet in Greenland Melting at Alarming Speed

B. Greenland Ice Sheet Contributing to Rapid Sea Level Rise

C. Billions of Tons of Water Found under Greenland Ice Sheet

D. Scientists Predicting Massive Underground Water in Greenland

29、Free energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.

So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?

The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?

The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.

Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.

We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.

【1】The first paragraph serves as a(n) _____.

A．argument

B．comment

C．explanation

D．background

【2】When some animals are on the solar road, what will the road do?

A．Guide them to a safer place.

B．Remind drivers to drive slowly.

C．Frighten them away from the road.

D．Advise drivers to choose another way.

【3】From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can _____.

A．provide heat for drivers in winter

B．guide drivers who get lost on the highway

C．melt snow and ice soon in winter

D．help drivers see the road clearly in the sun

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Functions of the road in the future.

B．Development of solar energy.

C．Free energy on the road.

D．Solar road of the future.

30、Milo is a dog, adopted by 20-year-old Makayla Swift from an animal shelter. One morning in November 2021, Swift opened her front door in Silver Spring, Maryland, and Milo immediately_______to the house across the street. Milo seemed _______, so he ran to the one next door, Swift on his tail. “He started scratching (抓) the front door,” Swift says. “I’m thinking, why is he insistently trying to_______her house?” She was embarrassed for not everyone wants a(n)_______dog on their property.

Starr was scared and thought she was going to die there. Her best_______, she decided, was to listen for the letter carrier in the afternoon and scream. For the next few hours, Starr practiced yelling: “Help! Help! Helllp!” “Her voice was very_______,” says Swift. “You had to be right at the front door to hear Mrs. Starr yell for help________you were Milo, the dog.” It________heard Starr the instant Swift opened her own front door. Swift called 911. Rescuers thought they’d have to break down the toilet to________Starr, but they gave one last pull — and out she popped. Though injured, Starr________a trip to the hospital.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Although many companies offer tuition repayment, most companies only repay employees for classes that are 【1】 to their position. This is a very limiting policy. A company that repays employees for all college credit courses—whether job related or not—offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.

One good reason for giving employees 【2】 tuition repayment is that it shows the company’s commitment to its employees. In today’s economy, where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable, it is important for a company to 【3】 to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is with concrete 【4】 in them. In turn, this commitment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee 【5】. A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money 【6】 by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employee turnover, because even employees who don’t take advantage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares 【7】 to pay for their education. Most importantly, the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees. Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their 【8】, more often than not, the employee will stay with the company.

And even if employees do leave after graduation, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program. Thus, even if the employee leaves upon graduating, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will 【9】 benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be 【10】 so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well. Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employer’s part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.
