21、   When you walk on a sandy beach, it takes more energy than striding down a sidewalk — because the weight of your body pushes into the sand. Turns out, the same thing is true for vehicles driving on roads. The weight of the vehicles creates a very shallow indentation (凹陷) in the pavement (路面) — and it makes it such that it’s continuously driving up a very shallow hill.

Jeremy Gregory, a sustainability scientist at M.I.T. and his team modeled how much energy could be saved — and green-house gases avoided — by simply stiffening (硬化) the nation’s roads and highways. And they found that stiffening 10 percent of the nation’s roads every year could prevent 440 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions over the next five decades — enough to offset half a percent of projected transportation sector emissions over that time period. To put those emissions savings into context — that amount is equivalent to how much CO2 you’d spare the planet by keeping a billion barrels of oil in the ground — or by growing seven billion trees — for a decade.

The results are in the Transportation Research Record.

As for how to stiffen roads? Gregory says you could mix small amounts of synthetic fibers or carbon nanotubes into paving materials. Or you could pave with cement-based concrete, which is stiffer than asphalt (沥青).

This system could also be a way to shave carbon emissions without some of the usual hurdles. Usually, when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation sector, you’re talking about changing policies related to vehicles and also driver behavior, which involves millions and millions of people — as opposed to changing the way we design and maintain our pavements. That’s just on the order of thousands of people who are working in transportation agencies. And when it comes to retrofitting (翻新) our streets and highways — those agencies are where the rubber meets the road.

【1】Why does the author mention “walk on a sandy beach” in paragraph 1?

A．To present a fact.

B．To make a contrast.

C．To explain a rule.

D．To share an experience.

【2】What suggestion does the author give to reduce CO2 emissions?

A．Hardening the road.

B．Keeping oil in the ground.

C．Growing trees for decades.

D．Improving the transportation.

【3】What is the advantage of this suggestion?

A．Gaining more support.

B．Consuming less money.

C．Involving more people.

D．Facing fewer usual obstacles.

【4】What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph?

A．Those agencies are likely to make more rules.

B．Those agencies will change some related policies.

C．Those agencies might put more rubber tires on the roads.

D．Those agencies will play a key role in making this happen.

22、“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right", says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people．She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is．In Mollie’s opinion, it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing．"If you aren't telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed．" she says．With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer．"I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,’ she says, "This love goes back to early childhood．I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said ‘Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a writer.’ So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer．"

This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical（自传体的） and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement．Thoughts of her childhood inevitably（不可避免地） brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup（金凤花）meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses．"I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood．I’ll never go back, "she said．"Never．When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said, “I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work．And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.”

【1】What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?

A．It should not aim at a narrow audience.

B．It should be attractive to young readers.

C．It should be based on original ideas.

D．It should not include too much conversation.

【2】In Mollie Hunter’ s opinion, which of the following is one sign of a poor writer?

A．Being poor in life experience.

B．Being short of writing skills.

C．The weakness of description.

D．The absence of a story.

【3】What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child?

A．She expected to become a writer.

B．She didn’t enjoy writing stories.

C．She didn’t have any particular life aims.

D．She didn’t respect her teacher’ views.

【4】What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?

A．To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s book.

B．To introduce Mollie Hunter’s works to a wider audience．

C．To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers．

D．To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books．

23、Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation, but my head wasn’t.

So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control.  But I was determined.  I started by giving the iPad to my wife.

The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration （沮丧）. I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.

This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “I don’t need it,” I said.

However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work?

There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great.  I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.

I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.

【1】 What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?

A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.

B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.

C. He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation.

D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.

【2】What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year?

A. He cut off his cellphone signal.

B. He handed his iPad to his wife.

C. He refused to cheat in his house.

D. He listened to the radio most of the time.

【3】 When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.

A. keep control of when and how to use the Internet

B. continue to road more and more books

C. stay away from the Internet for ever

D. stop checking what is being said right now completely

【4】What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?

A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.

B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.

C. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.

D. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.

24、   At present, I was diagnosed(诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.

In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”

She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”

Inspired and touched, I began to keep trying hard in my study and struggled against attention disorder. I believe one can find his way out of predicament with determination and efforts.

A.he was new to the class B.he was tired of literature

A.Angry. B.Impatient. C.Sympathetic. D.Encouraging.

【4】The underlined word “predicament” in the last paragraph probably means

A.sorrow B.destination C.difficulty D.fortune
