A
I was 16 years old the day I skipped school for the first time. It was easily done: both my parents left for work before my school bus arrived, so when it showed up at my house on that cold winter morning, I simply did not get on. The perfect crime!
And what did I do with myself on that glorious stolen day, with no adult in charge and no limits on my activities? Did I get high? Hit the mall for a shoplifting extravaganza( 欢)?
Nope. I built a warm fire in the wood stove, prepared a bowl of popcorn, grabbed a blanket, and
read. I was thrilled and transported by a book-it was Hemingway's The Sun Also rises-and I just
needed to be alone with it for a little while. I ached to know what would happen to Jake Barnes and Lady Brett Ashley and Robert Cohn. I couldn't bear the thought of sitting in a classroom taking
another biology exam when I could be traveling through Spain in the 1920s with a bunch of expatiates(异乡客).
I spent that day lost in words. Time fell away, as the room around me turned to mist, and myrole--as a daughter, sister, teenager, and student--in the world no longer had any meaning. I had accidentally come across the key to perfect happiness: I had become completely absorbed by something I loved.
Looking back on it now, I can see that some subtle things were happening to my mind and to my life while I was in that state of absorption. Hemingway's language was quietly braiding itself into my imagination. I was downloading information about how to create simple and elegant sentences, a good and solid plot. In other words, I was learning how to write. Without realizing it, I was hot on the trail of my own fate. Writing now absorbs me the way reading once did and happiness is their generous side effect.
21. What did the author think is the source of true joy? A. Reading by the fire. B. Travelling in Spain
C. Breaking the regulations D. Being occupied by one's passion
22. Which can best replace the underlined phrase“braiding itself into”
in the last paragraph?
A. Entering B. Destroying C. Mending D. Blocking.
23. What can we infer from the passage?
A. I was tired of my real-life roles. B. I learnt how to write on the Internet.
C. Hemingway’s style influenced me a lot. D. Becoming a writer was my childhood dream.
B
Lego is considering a brick (积木 )rental plan in an attempt to cut down on plastic waste. The Danish toymaker has promised to make all its bricks from sustainable(可持续的) sources by 2030 and is investing significant resources into finding alternatives.
Tim Brooks, vice-president responsible for sustainability, said the company was “totally open”to the idea of a product rental plan but admitted that lost pieces could produce a significant problem. “What are the chances of giving them to an eight-year-old child and getting them all back again?”
Mr. Brooks added“There is a lot of technical thinking that needs to be done. We are right at beginning of that.”
Mr. Brooks said Lego was exploring several ideas with a view to
producing the highest value from
products while consuming the least amount of resources. He said many would “probably never see. the light of day” and there was no current plan to try out a rental plan.
Lego has come under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint among growing
international alarm about the impact of plastic waste on the environment. It produces 19 billion
pieces per year--36, 000 a minute--that are made entirely of plastic while much of the inside packaging is also plastic.
So far, the only breakthrough has been the development of a line of bricks made from
plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The green trees, plants and flowers were first included
in Lego sets late last year but make up only 1%-2% of the total amount of plastic elements produced.
Henrik Nielson, a production supervisor (主管) in Lego's factory, said last year: “We need to learn again how to do this.”
Lego reportedly releases around a million tons of carbon dioxide each year, with about 75%coming from raw materials that go into factories. The company has invested more than
$100,000,000 and hired 100 people to research non-plastic alternatives. It is aiming to keep packaging out of landfill by 2025.
24. Lego is making great efforts to .
A. promote its brick rental plan B. raise its production efficiency C. explore ways to reduce plastic waste D. develop new products 25. According to Mr Brooks, Lego's brick rental plan . A. is well underway B. has a long way to go C. is totally useless D. goes against Lego's interest
26. The writer tells of Lego's stress of reducing plastic waste by means of .
A. Figures B. examples C. comparison D. classification
27. What is Lego's attitude towards developing non-plastic alternatives? A. Defensive B. Determined C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful C
Anyone who commutes()通勤)by car knows that traffic jams are an unavoidable part of life. But
humans are not alone in facing potential backups.
Ants also commute--between their nest and sources of food. The survival of their coloniesdepends on doing this efficiently. When humans commute, there's a point at which cars become
dense( 密)enough to slow down
the flow of traffic, causing jam. Motsch, a mathematician in Arizona State University, and his
colleagues wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck. So they regulated traffic density
by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food.
Then they waited and watched “The goal was to try to find out at what point they are going to have a traffic jam.”said Sebastien Motsch
But it appears that that never happened. They always managed to avoid traffic jam. The flow
ants did increase at the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then leveled off at high
densities. But it never slowed down or stopped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.
The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted traffic
as a whole. and they found that when ants sense overcrowding they adjust their speeds and avoid
entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. These behaviours may be promoted by pheromones, chemicals that tell other ants where a
trail is. The ants also manage to avoid colliding( 碰撞)with each other at high densities, which could really slow them down. The study is in the journal eLifeCan ants help us solve our own traffic problems? Not likely, says Motsch. That's because when it comes to getting from point a to point b as fast as possible, human drivers put their own goals first Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed the colony. But the research could be useful in improving traffic flow for self-driving cars, which can be designed to be less like selfish humans-and more like ants.
28. How did the researchers control the traffic density of the commuting ants?
A. By finding out the dense points o B. Through closer observation C. By controlling the widths of their path. D. By regulating their numbers 29. According to the research, ants can avoid traffic jams mainly because.
A. they follow a special route B. they level off at high densities C. they never stop or slow down on the way
D. they depend on their natural chemicals to adjust their speeds 30. What is the best title of the passage? A. Traffic jams B. Unavoidable? Not for ants
C. Survival of an ant colony. D. Difference between human and ants 第二节(共 5 小题:每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)

BE A GOOD TOURIST
Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.
31 Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the Luxor Temple in Egypt,the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and
many, many other-places. Thousands of tourists sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”. 32 If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone's life
with kindness and love Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction.
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and 33
For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public
areas, taking pictures of students and disturbing their studies. I have three words for tourists like this:
please be considerate. 34The number of problems from tourists is
endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without observing local traffic laws, and many more.
The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one!
35 Remember, whenever you step outside your country's borders, you are representing your country to the rest of the world. A. Just think from other aspects B. When in Rome do as the Romans do.
C. Have fun in a way that does not disturb others D. Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible E. I have three words for people like this: please stop it.
F. One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited someplace
G. Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission.
