Dear editor，
I am glad to find more and more public bicycles are provided in the street for people to rent．
However，problems also arise．The bicycles are left almost everywhere at will in the street．Also，many people ride the bicycles on the driveway，causing a lot of traffic accidents．Worse still，damages have been found on some new bicycles．My suggestions on how to improve the situation are as follows．
First of all，Parking lot should be designed and decided on certain specific areas in the street，In this way，fewer people will leave the bicycle as they please．Secondly，more roads for bicycles need to be provided．
I hope this bicycle renting project will help build better traffic and improve the air quality in the city．
Yours
Li Hua．

16．Electric cars are dirty．In fact，not only are they dirty，but they might even be much dirtier than their gasoline-powered cousins．
People in California love to talk about"zero-emissions（零排放）vehicles"，but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from．Power plants mostly use fire to make it．Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells，we get our electricity from generators（发电机）．Generators are fueled by something-usually coal，oil，but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants．There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well，but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something．
In other words，those"zero-emissions"cars are likely coal-burning cars．Because the coal is burned somewhere else，it looks clean．It is not true．It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes-"If I can't see it，it's not happening．"Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle； a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it．But when you take that gas （or another fuel） and first use it to make electricity，you waste a nice part of that energy，mostly in the form of wasted heat-at the generator，through the transmission lines，etc．
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles．But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far-so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones．If our electricity came mostly from wind，or geotherm，or solar，then an electric car truly would be clean．But for political，technical，and economic reasons，we don't use much of those energy sources．
In addition，electric cars'batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill．And finally，when cars are the polluters，the pollution is spread across all the roads．When it's a power plant，though，all the junk is in one place．Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated，but it takes much longer when all the garbage is in one spot．

33．What does the underlined word"clueless"mean in Paragraph 2？D
A．People are seeing the California Greens everywhere．
B．People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles．

Dear Betty,

My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.

Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late?  At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

Yours,

Knowing Nothing

Dear Knowing Nothing,

It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.

If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.

Yours,

Betty

Scientists claim to have developed a revolutionary new giant 3D concrete printer that can build a 2,500-square-foot house in just 24 hours.

The 3D printer, developed by Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis from the University of Southern California, could be used to build a whole house, layer by layer, in a single day.

"It is basically scaling up 3D printing to the scale of building," said Khoshnevis.

The giant robot replaces construction workers with a nozzle (喷嘴), which can quickly build a home based on a computer pattern, MSN News reported.

Contour Crafting, as it is named, is a layered fabrication (构造) technology. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be constructed in a single run, embedded (嵌入) in each house all the wires and pipes for electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning.

The potential applications of this technology are far-reaching including in emergency, low-income, and commercial housing.

"Our research also addresses the application of Contour Crafting in building habitats on other planets. Contour Crafting will most probably be one of the very few feasible approaches for building structures on other planets, such as the Moon and Mars, which are being targeted for human habitation before the end of the new century," researchers said on the project website.

The technology may potentially reduce energy use and emissions. And the main advantages of the Contour Crafting process over existing technologies are the superior surface finish that is realized and the greatly increased speed of construction.

1.Professor Khoshnevis has recently developed a 3D printer that can ________.

A. build a 2500-square-foot house in a single day

B. construct a skyscraper, layer by layer

C. design a group of houses automatically

D. assist construction workers in their work

2.The new 3D printer uses the following to build a house EXCEPT ________.

A. a nozzle B. a computer pattern C. a robot D. an air-conditioner

3.According to the text, the potential applications of Contour Crafting include building _______.

A. emergency vehicles B. low-income housing

C. commercial centers D. space stations on other planets

4.What advantages of this new technology is mentioned in the text?

A. It creates more jobs. B. It is less time-consuming.

C. It saves the building cost. D. It emits no carbon dioxide.
15．Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city？In order to answer this question，we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area．Not all historical buildings are attractive．However，there may be other reasons-for example，economic reasons-why they should be preserved．So，let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people．What should we do then if a new building is needed？
In my view，new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style．Indeed，there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings．As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate （影响） its surroundings too much，it often improves the attractiveness of the area．
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt （破坏） the area they are in，but the same can be said of some old buildings too．Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas．I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative （保守的） and do not like change．
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings，I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner tomove things forward．If we always reproduced what was there before，we would all still be living in caves．Thus，I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different，even though that might be the more risky choice．

28．What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph？D
A．Most of them are too expensive to preserve．
B．They are more pleasing than modern buildings．
C．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area．
D．Some of them are not attractive．
29．Which of the following is TRUE according to the author？A
A．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in．
B．We should reproduce the same old buildings．
C．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings．
D．No one understands why people speak against new buildings．
30．By"move things forward"in the last paragraph，the author probably means"C"．
A．destroy old buildings
B．put things in a different place
C．choose new architectural style
D．respect people's feelings for historical buildings
31．What is the main purpose of the passage？B
A．To explain why people dislike change．
B．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas．
C．To warn that we could end up living in caves．
D．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings．
