21、“In a close cooperation between several first-class chemists, physicists, and biologists, we have developed a very efficient water filter (净水器). It does not need any energy source but sunlight,” said Forró. “Thus our device can supply clean drinking water even at remote places.” The small, adaptable flat-bodied device was designed at Switzerland’s EPFL research institute, by a team led by Prof. Laszl6 Forró.

Water enters via a tube (管子) in the top, flows through a multilayer composite (复合的) material sandwiched between two sheets of glass, and exits through a tube in the bottom. The composite material is made up of titanium dioxide nanowires (TDN,二氧化钛纳米线) interwoven with carbon nanotubes. When the filter is exposed to sunlight, the UV light (紫外线) causes the composite to produce a group of molecules (分子) known as reactive oxygen species. These molecules are highly effective at killing harmful bacteria and viruses. Its potential challenge when working outdoors is rainy or cloudy days.

The filter has already been successfully tested on water containing E. coli bacteria, with results indicating that it should also have no problem ridding of other harmful bacteria. In fact, it is believed that the technology may also prove effective at ridding of micro-pollutants such as pesticides (杀虫剂) and drug remains. It should be noted that when activated by UV light, titanium dioxide nanowires on their own are capable of killing harmful viruses and bacteria. For that matter, even UV light alone can purify water, if the water is left sitting in the sunlight in a transparent container.

However, Prof. Forró told us that his team’s filter is much more effective — this is due in part to the carbon nanotubes’ ability to absorb heat from the sunlight, making the purification process faster. The present small-scale model can treat 2 liters (0.5 gal) of water per day, although that figure would rise considerably if the technology were to be scaled up.

【1】Why can the new filter work at remote areas?

A．It is small and flat-shaped.

B．It can be powered by sunlight.

C．It’s designed by famous scientists.

D．It can be efficient in cleaning water.

【2】Which aspects of filter does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?

A．Appearance and possible effects.

B．Working conditions.

C．Structure and working process.

D．Strengths and weaknesses.

【3】What can we learn from paragraph 3?

A．The filter can kill all kinds of bacteria of the water.

B．The filter is able to get rid of a lot of drugs in the water.

C．TDN can kill viruses without being activated by UV light.

D．UV light is able to purify the water in transparent containers.

【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A．To state a new function of UV light.

B．To introduce a solar-driven water filter.

C．To inform the discovery of a new material.

D．To stress the effectiveness of a water filter.

22、This is the greatest mystery of our adult life: How can we spend all day typing at a computer and go home feeling exhausted? How could merely activating the small muscles of our fingers leave us worn out at the end of the day? What causes mental fatigue (疲劳)?

“It is kind of a mystery, to be honest.” said Michael Inzlicht, a University of Toronto psychologist who studies self-control, motivation and fatigue. But scientists do have some clues. There is a hypothesis for why we get so tired from work when we’re not physically active. We get so tired because our motivation runs out. As we work on a task, we struggle to focus on it or eventually lose interest in it. We become less motivated to do the task. We become drawn to the things we want to do (scrolling social media or reading music blogs, for instance), rather than the things we have to do. And this tension possibly causes fatigue.

Researchers in the UK published new evidence that finds some indirect evidence for the motivational model. This study tracked 100 nurses in the UK over two 1-hour shifts.

Throughout the shifts, the nurses reported how fatigued they felt at regular intervals. They also wore devices that monitored and tracked the amount of physical activity they were engaged in. When the researchers investigated what could possibly explain the fatigue, they found some interesting patterns. Here's the result: there was no connection between the amount of physical work the nurses did and their feelings of fatigue. Instead, they found this small connection: the nurses who were least likely to feel fatigued from their work also felt the most in control of their work, and the most rewarded of it. These feelings may have boosted their motivation, which may have boosted their perception of having energy.

Inzlicht has also found evidence for the motivational model in his work. A few years ago. he and Carleton University psychologist Marina Milyavskaya monitored 159 students at McGill University in Canada for a week. “What was surprising to us was the biggest predictor of fatigue, not whether they had exerted self-control.” Inzlicht said. “Instead, the predictor was the number of temptations they felt.” “lf you’re typing at work, and if you’re anything like me, you got a few browsers open. These lead to temptations ,” he said. “Temptations make us less motivated to do our work, which, in turn, may make us tired.”

And there may be an evolutionary reason for why our brains would do this. “As an organism, we need to meet multiple goals to survive.” Inzlicht explains. We’re not solely focused on finding food or pursuing our passions in life. We need to do all these things to be a healthy, thriving species. “Because these multiple goals compete with one another (for our time), we need a mechanism in place that signals.” “Hey, stop doing that thing and do something else.” That mechanism, he suggests, could be fatigue.

In this light, boosting our motivation to stay on a task could lead us to feel less fatigued. One study found that just paying people some money when they’re exhausted can keep them on task. A similar thing is found in studies on physical endurance: People can be easily pushed to work beyond what they think is their physical limit.

【1】Why does the author ask so many questions in the first paragraph?

A．To introduce a common phenomenon.

B．To raise some questions that are appealing.

C．To lead to the theme and attract attention.

D．To show the author’s concern of the problem.

【2】Which one is the hypothesis for why we often feel exhausted after one-day work?

A．We are drawn to others things we have to do.

B．Lacking drive to finish a task leads to tiredness.

C．Smaller amount of physical activity makes us more tired.

D．Better self-control can boost one’s motivation to work.

【3】Which one can be used to improve an employee’s motivation?

A．Improving his salary.

B．Finding his passion.

C．Boosting his motivation.

D．Pushing his physical limits.

23、   Spilling coffee is never fun, but for German designer Stefan Kuhnigk is turned out to be a blessing in disguise(因祸得福）. He turned that first coffee stain into a small monster and has been creating Coffee Monsters ever since.

Stefan recalls looking at the stain his cup of dark espresso(a type of coffee of Italian origin) left on a piece of paper and it looking back at him as if saying “Draw me,draw me, draw meee!”So he did just that, and created his very first Coffee Monster. The next day, he thought back to this little accident that he had challenged him to get creative, and decided he could reproduce the coffee spill every day as an exercise in creativity.

When Stefan started using a spoon to spill coffee on piece of paper every day, his designer colleagues looked at him like he was crazy, but they didn’t know about the artworks that lay hidden in those random coffee stains.

Stefan Kuhnigk has created almost 600 lovable Coffee Monsters, as well as a charming backstory for each one of them. They may be monsters, but they’re the cute kind you’s expect to find in a children’s book. They tend to have a smile on their faces, because they have a very important role ----to make people happy.

To create Coffee Monsters, Stefan spills some coffee on a piece of paper, lets it dry for 4 to 6 hours, then uses a pencil to draw around the random shapes.

“My favourite moment up until now has been ,when someone wrote me, that the monsters make her happy every day, ”Stefan Kuhnigk wrote on Bored Panda, “This is so cheerful and because of messages like that I do it again and again. It never gets old for me, because a spill is never the same. ”

Stefan shared his Coffee Monsters on his social media pages, and also published a Coffee Monster book featuring his best creations.

【1】At first , Stefan’s colleagues thought his coffee spill action was ___________.

A.strange B.impressive

C.fancy D.lucky

【2】The Coffee Monster are created with an aim to _________.

A.frighten children B.make people pleased

C.inspire people to quit coffee D.teach children important lessons

【3】What keeps Stefan motivated to continue drawing Coffee Monster?

A.People’s appreciation B.the huge profit they bring

C.his dissatisfaction with his creations D.other designer’s challenges

【4】What can we learn about Stefan Kuhnigk?

A.He published several adult’s book.

B.He’s a careless people

C.He draws for 4 to 8 hours a day.

D.He is full of imagination.

24、C  I am a writer．I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth．Language is the tool of my trade．And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with．

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks．Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English．But I feel embarrassed to say that．It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness．I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example．But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker．

I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her．I was ashamed of her English．I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say．That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect．And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her．

I started writing fiction in 1985．And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure．I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts．

【1】By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______．

A．she is a writer by profession

B．she is fascinated by languages

C．she works as a translator

D．she uses English in foreign trade

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A．Americans do not understand broken English．

B．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts．

C．The author’ mother had positive influence on her．

D．The author’s mother was not respected sometimes．

【3】The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____．

A．well structured

B．rich in meaning

C．in the old style

D．easy to translate

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English．

B．The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother．

C．The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English．

D．The author’s experiences of using broken English．
