22、For many of us, summertime means road trips to the beach or mountains, or at the very least some additional dust on the outside of our vehicle. The extra dirt leads us to do one of two things: wash our car in the driveway or head to the car wash. But which choice is better for the environment?

The main concerns with either choice are the amount of fresh water used and the types of chemicals used to get rid of the dirt. Both of these concerns can be closely monitored when washing the car at home, says Katy Gresh, spokeswoman for the Southwest Region of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. She advises car owners to keep a set amount of water in a container for the entire wash. “You don’t want to leave the water running or use more than you need for the job,” she says. But even following this piece of advice comes with an environmental risk: Washing your car in the driveway gets the dirty water into drains (下水道).

“Drains are not made for treating waste.” says John Schombert, executive director of 3 Rivers Wet Weather. Even when car owners use natural soaps to wash their car, Schombert says they are probably ineffective in breaking down grease(油脂)anyway.

The commercial car wash knows full well the rules regarding wastewater in drains. According to the International Carwash Association (ICA), professional car washes must use special water treatment systems. These processes not only keep the dirty water out of drains and regular water treatment systems, but also work to reduce water usage at commercial facilities.

As experts point out, cleaning our car at home can use 100 gallons of water. Compare that to self-service car washes, which allow you to use only about 17 or 18 gallons of water. And most full-service car washes average about 30 to 45 gallons of water per vehicle.

【1】What does Katy suggest people do about washing cars?

A．Use soft toothbrushes.

B．Save treated water.

C．Put aside some water.

D．Avoid using chemicals.

【2】What is Schombert’s attitude to washing cars at home?

A．Disapproving.

B．Favorable.

C．Indifferent.

D．Objective.

【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A．Rules of handling wastewater.

B．Advantages of professional car washes.

C．Processes of getting rid of dirty water.

D．Drawbacks of water treatment systems.

【4】Which mehod of car washing consumes the least water?

A．The full-service car washes.

B．Car washing in the driveway.

C．The self-service car washes.

D．Car washing using natural soaps.

23、Whoever has made a voyage up the Hudson River must remember the Catskill Mountains. They are a branch of the great Appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. When the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory(华丽的皇冠).

At the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village. In that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly time-worn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of Rip Van Winkle.

Rip’s great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. It could not be from lack of diligence, for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without saying a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. He would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. He would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. The women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. In a word, Rip was ready to attend to everybody’s business but his own.

If left to himself, he would have whistled life away in perfect satisfaction; but his wife was always mad at him for his idleness(懒散). Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house — the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband.

【1】Which of the following best describes the Catskill Mountains? ________

A. They are very high and beautiful in this area.

B. They are on the west of the Hudson River.

C. They can be seen from the Appalachian family.

D. They gather beautiful clouds in blue and purple.

【2】The hero of the story is probably__________.

A. hard-working and likes all kinds of work

B. gentle, helpful but a little idle

C. simple, idle but very dutiful

D. idle and hates all kinds of jobs

【3】The underlined words “henpecked husband” in the last paragraph probably means a man who__________.

A. likes hunting   B. is afraid of hens

C. is afraid of his wife D. loves his wife

【4】 What would be the best title for the text? ________.

A. Catskill Mountains.  B. A Mountain Village.

C. A Dutiful Husband.   D. Rip Van Winkle.

24、For decades, world wars and fears of a brave new world have made British workers very anxious. Yet it appears that the rise of robots has been overestimated, according to new data. The Office of National Statistics (ONS) published a series of data which showed that far fewer jobs are at risk of replacement by robots than previously thought.

In 2017, out of the 19.9 million jobs analyzed in England, 7. 4 percent of people were employed in jobs at high risk of replacement. This marked a fall of 0.7 percent less than in 2011. However, the number of employees that were in jobs at low risk of replacement in 2017 was 27.7 percent of all employees, a rise of 2.4 percent since 2011.

The ONS found that the three jobs with the highest possibility of replacement are waiters and waitresses, shelf fillers and the most basic sales jobs. As expected, regular things in a fixed order and repeated tasks can be carried out more quickly and efficiently by an algorithm(计算程序) written by a human, or a machine designed for specific functions. Therefore, the risk of replacement in such jobs is to be higher.

However, the three jobs at the lowest risk of replacement are doctors, higher education professionals and senior education professionals. Furthermore, while the general number of jobs has increased, most of these are jobs that are at low or medium (中等的) risk, suggesting that the labour market may be changing to jobs that require more complex skills.

Alessandro, an expert in AI, said he was not surprised by the fall in jobs which were at risk. “When something like technology becomes fashionable, there's a rise in major expectations. Our expectation reaches the highest point, and then it comes back down to a more realistic level,” he added.

【1】What do data in paragraph 2 mainly want to show?

A．Robots are helpful to job market.

B．The future of robots looks bright,

C．Robots have better performance than people.

D．The threat of job replacement by robots isn't as serious as expected.

【2】What's the finding of the ONS in paragraph 3?

A．Regular and repeated tasks are likely to be replaced.

B．The work of service will no longer exist.

C．More people prefer working on computers.

D．Jobs with lower pay will totally be replaced by machines.

【3】What is Alessandro's attitude towards the finding shown in the text?

A．Doubtful.

B．Uncertain.

C．Supportive.

D．Critical.

【4】What is the suitable title for the text?

A．Most Jobs Are Being Replaced by Robot

B．Jobs Replaced by Robots Are Fewer Than Thought

C．People's Anxiety on Education

D．The Robot Application on Education Industry

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。

Two fast friends were Willie and his little dog Bounce. Willie could never think of taking a walk without Bounce. Cake and play were equally shared between them. Willie taught his dog many cunning tricks, and often said that Bounce could do almost anything in the world but talk. Then on a bright summer afternoon, Willie had strolled with Bounce down to the river, which was not more than two blocks from his father’s store—Mr. Brown’s store.

Willie began to throw stones into the water, and to watch ripples as they made one circle after another. Bounce lay on the grass, watching the flies buzzing around his nose, and catching any that came too near.

There were some logs floating in the river near the bank. Willie jumped upon one of them to see if he could throw a stone across the river. He drew back, sent the stone with all strength, just as it left his hand, the log turned and he fell into the water. He was frightened, for he did not know how to swim, and there was no one to hear, though he called as loud as he could for help.

If he had been a big water dog, he could have jumped in and brought his master out.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

He ran up and down the bank two or three times, barking, looking first at Willie and then around.
