21、About five years ago, an American electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his wife Julie came up with the idea of putting solar panels on the ground rather than the roof. Then they began to develop the Solar Roadway. The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun while providing safer driving conditions, along with power and data delivery. They predict that the Solar Roadway will pay for itself through the generation of electricity along with other forms of income and that the same money that is being used to build and resurface current roads can be used to build the Solar Roadways.

Each Solar Road Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and contains a microprocessor (微处理器) that monitors and controls the panel, while communicating with neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling overhead. The inventors suggest that this provides a communications device every 4 meters on every road which could be used for example to warn drivers of cars which are moving across a centre line and various other speed control problems. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of super-strong glass that would offer vehicles the tractions (抓地力) they need.

According to the inventors, the Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and therefore electric vehicles can be recharged at any conveniently located rest stop, or at any business that has paved Solar Road Panels in their parking lots.

The inventors say their Solar Roadway has many functions and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and runways. The Federal Highway Administration has given Brusaw $100,000 to develop the invention and Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road parking lot in the coming spring .

【1】In the inventors’ opinion, the Solar Roadway _____.

A. is too expensive to build at present

B. costs no more money than current roads

C. can provide as many data as present computers

D. will bring them a large sum of money

【2】 It can be inferred from the text that _____.

A. the Solar Roadway has already been put into use

B. $100,000 is only enough to build a smart-road parking lot

C. the Solar Roadway is not available for gas-powered cars

D. future electric vehicles can be charged anytime and anywhere

【3】What can be the best title for the text?

A.  Solar-powered smart road of the future

B. The great changes on the roadway

C. The influence the Solar Roadway has on people

D. The Solar Road — a much faster road

22、One grandma in Japan went above and beyond to connect with her grandchildren. Taechan, a woman in her 70s, began making Gundam models-plastic armor (盔甲) suits inspired by the anime Mobile Suit Gundam. Her amazing results impressed her grandchildren and sparked an unexpected passion.

Gundam suits are sold as kits by Bandai. They’re sometimes called “Gunpla”, which combines the words “Gundam” and “plastic model”. Despite being sold in box sets, building these suits of armor can be complicated and include numerous tiny pieces that the person has to fit together. Taechan now documents her builds in YouTube videos.

During these recordings, you see her work at a desk with the manual of illustrated instructions open in front of her. Each page includes dozens of detailed steps. Taechan, however, is a patient and diligent worker and takes her time completing each step with care. Her dedication to completing these models really shows in the final product.

When Taechan shared her Gundam results and the reason for making them on Twitter, thousands of people reacted to her story. Those who are familiar with the process of making these plastic suits were surprised that Taechan put in such effort, especially considering her health condition. Many also found it endearing that she went the extra mile to connect with her grandchildren. Best of all, Taechan seems to have found a new hobby for herself, too!

Even though her hands shake due to chronic (慢性的) illness, she managed to make many impressive plastic suits that wowed her grandchildren.

【1】Why did Taechan make Gundam Models?

A．To kill time.

B．To cure her shaking hands.

C．To bond with her grandchildren.

D．To become an Internet celebrity.

【2】Which of the following can best describe Taechan?

A．Strict and helpful.

B．Patient and careful.

C．Healthy and determined.

D．Generous and hopeful.

【3】What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A．People are puzzled about Taechan’s behaviour.

B．People offered Taechan advice on making Gundam models.

C．Taechan’s health condition stopped her making good models.

D．Taechan’s effort to connect with her grandchildren was admired.

【4】Where can we probably read the text?

A．In an advertisement.

B．In a novel.

C．In a newspaper.

D．In a diary.

23、Whether you live in Seattle or the Sahara desert, the time has come to invest in a good raincoat or umbrella, a new study suggests.

As global temperatures continue to rise, more “extreme rain” events—intense, cats-and-dogs downpours—can be expected, said the study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. And that, scientists said, means an increased flood risk, particularly for the world’s driest areas. The study challenges the idea that global warming is causing dry areas to become drier and wet areas wetter.

“In both wet and dry regions, we see these great increases in heavy precipitation（冰雹）,” lead author Markus Donat, a climate scientist at the University of New South Wales, told Nature.

Donat and his team collected data from 1951 to 2010 on extreme precipitation events from 11, 000 weather stations around the world, Nature reported.

In that time, the number of days with “extreme precipitation” increased 1 percent to 2 percent per decade.

“We found a strong relationship between global warming and an increase in rainfall, particularly in areas outside of the tropics,” Donat said in a statement.

“Importantly, this research suggests we will see these extreme rainfall events increases at regional levels in dry areas, not just as an average across the globe,” Donat added.

Peter Stott, a senior climate scientist at Met Office, told Climate Central that the study’s findings are important, because more violent rainfall and flooding will “challenge our capability to adapt to a rapidly changing climate.”

As Nature reported, the research aligns（结盟）with a 2015 study that found global warming has led to a sharp increase in record-breaking precipitation events. Donat told Nature that his study should come as a warning to world governments.

【1】Which of the following is one of the study’s findings?

A. Global warming is causing dry areas to become drier and wet areas wetter.

B. Extreme rain events can be expected at regional levels in dry areas.

C. Extreme rainfall events increase at regional levels in wet areas.

D. Rainfall increases particularly in the tropics areas.

【2】Why does Scott think the findings are important?

A. The research aligns with a 2015 study.

B. They are about extreme precipitation events.

C. They remind us to adjust to rapid climate changes.

D. The study involves many famous climate scientists.

【3】The purpose of the study is to ______.

A. encourage investors to start business in Seattle or the Sahara desert

B. persuade people to take a raincoat or an umbrella with them

C. challenge the previous findings of research on climate

D. warn world governments to focus on global warming

24、The guzheng is a traditional Chinese musical instrument. It belongs to the zither (齐特琴) family of string instruments. It is the parent of many musical instruments of some other countries.

The guzheng should not be confused with the guqin, another ancient Chinese zither but without bridges. Now the guzheng is zither with movable bridges and usually 21 strings, although it can have from 15-25 strings. The guzheng’s strings were formerly made of silk, though most players used metal strings by the 20th century. Since the mid-20th century most performers use steel strings. The guzheng has a large resonant cavity (共振腔).

The guzheng has existed since the Warring States Period and became especially popular during the Qin dynasty. The number of strings on the guzheng has always fluctuated. There were as few as 6 to as many as 23 strings during the Tang dynasty. The earliest record of the guzheng belonged to the historian Sima Qian. Until 1961, the common guzheng had 16 strings, although by the mid-20th century 18-string guzheng were also in use. In 1961, Xu Zhenggao, together with Wang Xunzhi, introduced the first 21-string guzheng after two years of research and development. In 1960, they also invented the “S-shaped” left string rest, which was quickly adopted by all guzheng makers and is still used today. This curve allows for greater ease in tuning the strings and, combined with strings of different thickness, allows for greater resonance in both the deeper and the higher pitch (音调) ranges. The 21-string guzheng is the most commonly used one, but some traditional musicians still use the 16-string one.

【1】We can infer from Paragraph 1 that ________.

A．the guzheng is a musical instrument originating from Japan

B．there is only one kind of string instrument in China

C．there are many kinds of guzheng in the world

D．many musical instruments in other countries are related to the guzheng

【2】Which of the following material may NOT have been used to make the strings of the guzheng probably?

A．Silk

B．Steel

C．Wood

D．Copper

【3】The underlined word “fluctuated” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.

A．jumped

B．changed

C．flowed

D．waved

【4】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．The guqing is an ancient Chinese zither with bridges.

B．The guzheng became espevially popular in the Tang Dynasty

C．All musicians don’t use the 21-string guzheng.

D．Xu Zhenggao invented the “S-shaped” left string rest himself.

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。

When I adopted him, he had been rescued from death inside a tightly tied black trash bag abandoned right beside a garbage truck on the road. An alert garbage man noticed the bag moving and used a metal rake (耙子) to tear open the bag to look inside. There was my shaking puppy dog. The rake damaged the nerves in his back so he limped a little, but he could run as fast as lightning.

For my dog’s first birthday, I entered him in a fun run sponsored by our local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). I’m not much of a runner, but the run was only 3 kilometers, so I thought it would be fun for both of us.

We practiced for weeks. On our practice runs, he was always eager to go and usually dragged me along behind him. I worked on his leash (拴狗链) manners so that he wouldn’t trip me on the big day. I felt we were ready for anything.

The fun run was downtown among the big buildings, so the noise of barking dogs all around us rose to a deafening pitch at the start of the race. My dog was frightened when the starting tone went off. He had trouble running in the right direction with all the confusion around us. Soon the runners began to thin out, and my dog was running straight and fast. We were passing people and making great time. I was dreaming of a gold-medal finish.

However, when we were six blocks from the finish, my dog suddenly stopped and dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I almost dislocated my shoulder from the sudden stop as I was pulled backward by the leash.

He was lying flat on his belly with his head down in the middle of the crossroads. At first I thought something bad had happened to him. He was shaking and sobbing. I did a quick check and couldn’t see anything wrong. I tried to get him up, but he refused. The police officer doing traffic control impatiently signed me to move away so he could release the cars.

注意：

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。

But I couldn’t get my seventy-five-pound dog to get up.

Another half-block of carrying him brought the answer—a moving garbage truck.
