21、   On hearing the words “Just do it!”, you will know there is a Nike product nearby. If it’s “Always Coca-Cola”, you can be sure someone wants to sell you a refreshing drink.

An advertising slogan(广告标语) is to a brand what eyes are to a person. The slogan helps people understand the brand better by telling them what it wants to sell to its customers. Good slogans leave a message inside people’s minds. It’s almost certain that every brand has a popular slogan.

Here are a few examples:

“Just do it!”-This slogan speaks out to teens. It tells them to do something, but only if they think it’s worth it. And if so, why not do it wearing Nike?

“Always Coca-Cola.”-Coke’s slogans change every few years, but this one has enjoyed a lasting popularity because it shows the brand’s spirit. It seems to say “Coke is the only drink there is; there are no other forms of drinks.”

“Share moments, share life.”-This slogan from Kodak connects photos and beauty. It asks people to remember the happy moments in life by taking photos of them-using Kodak film of course!

22、The United States is a nation of car owners. Ninety-five percent of households own a car, and 85 percent of people get to work in one. This lifestyle contributes to congestion on our roads and damages the environment. As autonomous vehicles begin to hit the streets over the next decade or so, it’s believed that all this will change.

Autonomous vehicles will most likely decrease the number and severity of crashes, allow cars to travel more closely together and improve cooperation between vehicles, all of which tend to reduce traffic jams and increase capacity(容量).

However, this future is not assured. To realize the full potential benefits of driverless cars, we will have to act soon to encourage a culture in which transportation is shared. Many people in the automobile industry assume that driverless vehicles will automatically be shared, but there is little evidence that this is true. Most estimates suggest that driverless cars will eventually be only slightly more expensive than traditional cars, which means they’ll be within reach of many consumers, so users are not willing to share rides.

If most people are going to buy-in to a shared-ride culture, they need to get a significant benefit. Saving a few dollars off the fare isn’t likely to promote the movement dramatically. A better benefit would be knowing that you’re going to reach your destination more quickly. The way to guarantee quick passage is to redesign our roads to give priority to ride-sharing autonomous vehicles like building priority lanes. The cost of travel will also be varied based on how efficiently a vehicle uses the roads. Autonomous vehicles carrying multiple people should get higher priority than those carrying one or none at all.

Decision-makers must push for incentives(动机) that encourage the most efficient use of our limited roadway infrastructure(基础设施). The autonomous future is rapidly approaching; it is critical that we act now, while the impacts of autonomous vehicles on traffic jams and emissions are still largely within our control.

【1】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To introduce the topic.

B．To tell the severe traffic problem.

C．To prove the necessity of autonomous vehicles.

D．To show the damage of cars to the environment.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Autonomous vehicles are likely to reduce traffic jams.

B．Driverless Cars are unaffordable for the average American.

C．Saving some fares contributes to shared-ride significantly.

D．Many people have ridden autonomous vehicles to avoid traffic jams.

【3】Which will be a benefit of sharing autonomous vehicles?

A．To save a large amount of money.

B．To redesign roads to prioritize car-shared modes.

C．To promote the development of roadway infrastructure.

D．To allow you to reach your destination much more quickly.

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Driverless Cars Will Make Our Traffic Problems Worse

B．Autonomous Vehicles Will Make a Difference to Traffic

C．The Current Situation of Cars in the United States Is Serious

D．The Development of Driverless Cars in United States Goes Rapidly

23、About 5,000 children die each day due to preventable diseases such as cholera and dysentery (痢疾) , which spread when people use unclean water for drinking or cooking. A lack of water for personal health leads to the spread of totally preventable diseases like trachoma, which has blinded some six million people.

Water troubles also trap many low-income families in a cycle of poverty and poor education and the poorest suffer most from lack of access to water. People who spend much of their time on ill health, caring for sick children, or collecting water at distances averaging 3.75 miles a day don’t have educational and economic opportunities to better their lives.

Agriculture is called the lion's share of freshwater worldwide, using some 70 percent, and industrial uses consume another 22 percent. Water areas have no political borders and nations don't always work together to share common resources, so water can be a frequent source of international conflict as well.

Day-by-day demand keeps growing, further needing water sources, from great rivers to groundwater. “We’re going deeper into debt on our groundwater use,” Postel said, “and that has very significant impacts on global water security. The rate of groundwater consumption has doubled since 1960.”

Some of Earth's groundwater is fossil water created when Earth's climate was far different. Today such water is as limited as petrol. “But we're pumping much of them out faster than ever,” Postel explained. “Humanity's growing thirst also causes a major problem about water and our ecosystems. And that also creates a cost to us, to our sons and to our grandsons, not just to nature.”

【1】What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?

A. Water shortage has been a most serious challenge.

B. So many children die of polluted water every day.

C. Diseases should be properly controlled and treated.

D. Wasting water leads to the unrest of the world.

【2】Why is agriculture called the lion’s share of freshwater ?

A. Because agriculture is much stronger than industry.

B. Because more people live on the agricultural produce.

C. Because agriculture uses about two-thirds of freshwater.

D. Because nations don’t always work together to save water.

【3】According to what Postel said we can know ____________.

A. groundwater is rich for us to use

B. there is no need to dig deep for groundwater

C. we are consuming our next generations’ water

D. we should use river water instead of groundwater

【4】What can we infer form the passage?

A. We shouldn’t use water from rivers.

B. We should protect our ecosystems.

C. Water should be distributed equally.

D. Laws should be passed for groundwater.

24、Here’s a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl situation. A young man has at last plucked up courage to invite a dazzling young lady out to dinner. She has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed.

He is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. When they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this beautiful creature is on a diet. She mustn’t eat this and she mustn’t that.

Oh, but of course, she don’t want to spoil his enjoyment. Let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants: it’s the surest way to an early grave (坟墓). They spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.

What a miserable lot dieters are! You can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food.

They are forever consulting calorie charts; gazing at themselves in mirrors; and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, bigger tummies (肚子) and double chins.

Some declare all-out war on FAT. Mere dieting is not enough. They exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna (桑拿) baths, being pummeled (击打) and massaged by weird machines. The really wealthy dieters pay vast sums for health cures’. For two weeks they can enter a nature clinic and be starved to death for a hundred dollars a week. Don’t think it’s only the middle-aged who go in for these fads (时尚) either. Many of these bright young things you see are suffering from chronic malnutrition: they are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of God.

Dieters undertake to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? Well, for one thing, they’re always hungry. You can’t be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible mixtures they eat instead of food leave them permanently dissatisfied. “Wonderfood is a complete food”, the advertisement says, “Just dissolve (溶解) a teaspoonful in water…”. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. And, of course, they’re always miserable because they feel so guilty. Hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they may run out and swallow five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. And who can blame them? At least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. What torture (折磨) it is always watching others eating piles of mouth-watering food while you have a water biscuit and sip bitter lemon juice!

What’s all this self-inflicted (自己造成的) torture for? Saintly people deprive themselves of food to attain a state of grace. Unsaintly people do so to attain a state of misery. It will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings!

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My father is a practical man. He can’t explain calculus(微积分)，but he can tell you how much pressure a boiler needs. He can’t draw an architect’s plan, but he can tell you if the pipes and wiring will sustain the structure. He put himself through night school to become an engineer, but that was only after he worked a slumber, an electrician, and a mechanic.

One day we walked by a toy store window. Sitting in the comer was the most unusual doll-house I’d ever seen. It was shaped liked an upturned log（原木）. Little oval windows decorated with nice curtains and framed by tiny balconies were cut into it.

“Oh, Daddy,” I said, “isn’t it beautiful? Do you think Santa Claus will bring it to me?”

Dad looked at the $100 price tag, silent — that’s a rather big figure in those days. “I think even Santa couldn’t afford this house,” he joked, lifting up his belt as he often does when he’s nervous. “Maybe one day, sweetheart.”

On Christmas morning, I awoke early and raced downstairs. In the dim light, I made out a lot of wrapped boxes under the tree — but none large enough to contain my dollhouse. Dad could see my disappointment He pulled me onto his lap and gently told me how, as a boy, he had wanted a red wagon, but his father couldn’t afford one. He said he made his own from wood and old wheels he found. “I’ll make one for you,” Dad assured me.

And right after Christmas, despite all the unfinished projects at home, he started it. I naively（幼稚地）thought it was an easy toy to make, but every step of the long process was considerably more complex than I had anticipated. Night after night, Dad would come home from his job dead tired, yet he’d always find time to work on the log house. In the dark yellow electric light, Dad was always busy creating my dollhouse.

要求：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I hesitated, wondering if I should help my father.
