21、“Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast." Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.

Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.

Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.

The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.

Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places – including some museums and stadiums – worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.

Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”

Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set parkwide bans.

【1】Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?

A. smart phones   B. folding chairs

C. cameras   D. containers

【2】According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.

A. abandon them at the bag check

B. get fined and pick them up later

C. turn them in to the police

D. put them in the trunk of their cars

【3】The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means__________.

A. changing   B. broadening

C. blocking D. narrowing

【4】According to the passage, it can be inferred that__________

A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security.

B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides.

C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally.

D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide.

22、The future of Australia’s solar industry is looking bright after a record 3.5m panels(嵌板)were installed on rooftops last year, giving the equal output of a medium-sized coal-fired power station. The record 1,057 MW of capacity (产能) in small scale systems installed across the country broke the previous record set in 2012, figures from the Clean Energy Regulator showed on Tuesday.

Australia’s solar power prosperity could almost double capacity in a year, The data also revealed that the average system size has also doubled since then from three to six kilowatts as average prices continued to fall. A fully installed 5KW system costs an average of $5,930 in Australia, according to the energy broker Solar choice. net. au. Its records show that the price has roughly halved in many capital cities since 2012.

The regulator’s executive general manager, Mark Williamson, said there was increasing interest in renewals as a way to take control of electricity bills. But more importantly, he said it was also good news for reducing carbon emissions,

“We are seeing a wide cross section of Australians—households, community centers, schools, and small businesses—receiving rewards under the small scale renewable energy scheme,” Williamson said, “Our data shows consumers are embracing renewable energy to take control of their electricity bills. ”

In 2017, there was a 41% increase in installing renewable energy capacity across all states and territories compared to 2016. Queensland led the way with installed capacity at 295MW, with the Australian Capital Territory taking top place for the biggest annual increase by 57 %. “I he data collected by the Clean Energy Regulator in 2017 reflects the industry is going from strength to strength, It looks like 2018 will be another big year for the solar industry.”

The total of installed capacity for last year is expected to rise to 1,070MW when all the data is collected. A large coal-fired power station such as Loyd Yang A in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley has a capacity of 2, 200MW.

【1】What do we know about the Australia’s solar industry from the first paragraph?

A. It’s still risky.

B. It’s promising.

C. It’s unpredictable.

D. It’s within expectation.

【2】What’s the reason for the Australia’s solar industry’s development?

23、Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Edison and Popular Culture

Whenever we play music or go to the movies, we enjoy the benefits of Thomas Edison’s genius and hard work. Although Edison is perhaps most famous for his light bulb, his inventions in sound recording and motion pictures has contributed to entertainment industry.

After his successful development of the first phonograph in 1877, Edison and his researchers made countless improvements to the phonograph (留声机) striving for the finest sound reproduction possible. 【1】 What the public really wanted, however, was a machine to play music. Recognizing the biggest market for the phonograph, Edison began producing musical records in the early 1890s. However scratchy and rough those early records seemed, they were amazing to buyers who were hearing recorded sound for the very first time. The development of records, cassette tapes and finally digital music traces back to Edison’s early experiments with sound recording.

【2】 In October 1888, Edison intended to do “for the Eye what the phonograph does for the Ear, which is the recording and reproduction of things in motion.” Thus began Edison’s development of the kinetograph (motion picture camera) and kinetoscope (motion picture viewer).

Over the next years, Edison experimented with the making of motion pictures, constructing the Black Maria, the world’s first structure especially built to be a motion picture studio. The first motion pictures were not projected on a theater screen. 【3】 For a 5-cent coin, viewers could look through the peephole (窥孔) to see Blacksmith Scene, or the Barbershop. Although the first films lasted less than a minute, they excited audiences as much as any film seen today.

The first films were silent, but in 1895 Edison attempted to combine sound recording and motion pictures in a device he called the kinetophone. Unfortunately, this early effort at talking motion pictures proved unsuccessful. More than thirty years would pass before sound films would become widespread.

Edison wanted to invent things to improve the lives of all people, whether it was electric light bulbs to light their homes or phonographs and motion pictures to inspire their imagination. Every time we turn on a light switch or watch movie, we enjoy the gift of Edison’s genius. But true genius, said Edison, relies on “hard work, stick-to-initiativeness, and common sense”. 【4】

A．Thomas Edison’s own example of dedication and determination may be his true gift.

B．Instead, viewers looked through a peephole fixed on top of a box with the projector inside.

C．Edison managed to make the phonograph praised by most people with effort and devotion,

D．Not satisfied with merely recording sound, Edison turned his attention to another of the senses: sight.

E．Thanks to Edison, people can live a convenient and comfortable life that we couldn’t imagine before.

F．At first, Edison thought the phonograph primarily suitable only for business purposes, like the dictation of letters.

24、China welcomed three heroic astronauts home on April 16. The re-entry module (返回舱) carrying Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu touched down safely at the designated Dongfeng Landing Site in Inner Mongolia autonomous region. This ended the Shenzhou XIII astronauts’ six-month space mission.

This return marks a major breakthrough for China’s efforts in space. Let’s look at some of the technical details of the mission.

Speed record

The mission set a new speed record. The Shenzhou XII return capsule revolved around the Earth 11 times over 24 hours, before returning on Sept 17, 2021. This time Shenzhou XIII shortened the time to about 9 hours, orbiting the Earth five times.

The Shenzhou XIII mission was simplified to only five orbits and was designed to return more efficiently, according to the Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CAST).

This approach required more precise control of the spacecraft and more accurate orbital calculations. This meant that when the spacecraft separated, it could quickly target the landing area, calculate the return path, and adjust its altitude, Wang Ya’nan, editor-in-chief of Beijing-based Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told the Global Times.

“Having the ability to adopt such a fast return method indicates that China’s return technology for manned missions is very mature and reliable,” Wang added.

Temperature control

Another challenge for astronauts returning to Earth is traveling through the atmosphere. After the re-entry capsule enters the atmosphere, there is fierce friction with the air. The surface temperature of the capsule can reach thousands of degrees.

To solve this problem, the researchers designed a heat-resistant coating on the surface of the Shenzhou XIII return capsule. They also laid a layer of ablative material (烧蚀材料) that sublimated (升华) and fell off when the temperature reached a certain level, taking a lot of heat with it, according to People’s Daily Online.

Landing

Landing upright is the ideal way to land, ensuring astronauts have the softest landing, Pang Zhihao, a spaceflight researcher in Beijing, told Science and Technology Daily.

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

A．To introduce the topic of the passage.

B．To introduce Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu.

C．To inform readers of the astronauts’ six-month space mission.

D．To tell readers about the successful landing of the Shenzhou XIII.

【2】How long did Shenzhou XIII revolving around the earth once spend？

A．About 2.2 hours.

B．About 3 hours.

C．About 1.8 hours.

D．About half an hour.

【3】What are the requirements of simplifying the Shenzhou XIII mission?

①to return more efficiently   

②to control the spacecraft more precisely

③to calculate orbit more accurately   

④to target the landing area quickly

⑤to adjust its altitude

A．①②③④

B．①②③⑤

C．①③④⑤

D．②③④⑤

【4】How did the ablative material take the heat?

A．By designing a heat-resistant coating on the surface of the Shenzhou XIII.

B．By making the surface temperature reach thousands of degrees.

C．By sublimating and falling off when the temperature reached a level.

D．By putting a layer of material on the surface on the spacecraft.

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。

I was at Lens Crafters waiting to pick up my new pair of glasses. A mom as well as her little girl walked in. The mom was probably in her late twenties and the little girl was about five.

Both of their clothes were badly dated to say the least. It was obvious that the family’s financial windfall (意外之财) had not yet arrived. I overheard a comment the comment made to the saleslady that she was in between job 1 and job 2 of the day, so she didn't have a lot of time.

The little girl and the mom proceeded around the store looking at these little tiny frames for the girl’s face. The saleslady was helping them try on frames and pulling aside her favorites.

You knew how some little kids actually looked ten times cuter in glasses, and so the little girl did. She found these cute little frames with a butterfly on them. She was so happy, smiling from ear to ear while she looked at herself in the mirror.

The saleslady rang the glasses up on the till (收银台). The mom pulled out a coupon (优惠券), and the saleslady stared blankly at the coupon. She then explained that for some reason this coupon could not be used, pointing out the miniscule (极小的) words printed at the bottom.

Then the mom chatted back and forth for a bit with the saleslady and then finally leaned down to her daughter and explained to her that there would be no glasses that day, maybe next month she said.

The little girl’s eyes started to tear up. The mom leaned a little closer and told her it would be OK and that she needed a little more time to save up for them. The little girl responded, “But Mommy, I can’t see and I want to be able to see when I start school next week. I want to do well, Mommy! What if I’m in the back?”

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。

Seeing this, I quietly called the saleslady over.
