题目内容

One year ago, I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station. It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard or no fixed seats.

Gathering at the entrance of the station, we told to collect as many English words and sentences as possible here. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.

Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.

With more recognition than Halloween and less than Christmas,Valentine’s Day as an imported festival faces a dangerous situation in China,where it’s caught between forces of tradition and fashion.Valentine’s Day has a natural enemy in China.And it is not the Chinese equivalent,which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar,usually around half a year away from February 14.It is the Spring Festival,also known as the Chinese New Year,that will influence the Feast of Saint Valentine.

The real disagreement between East and West probably took place over a century ago,when China’s door was forced open by Western powers and Chinese scholars supported westernization as a means to strengthen our nation's ability to compete.The introduction of the solar calendar and Western measurements was both an acknowledgment of their influence and an effort to be accepted by the world order.

For a full century,we have had two systems running in parallel.When it comes to the eventual outcome, practicality usually beats all other concerns.Laws can help,such as the three traditional festivals of Tomb Sweeping, Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn gaining legal status in 2008 and giving every Chinese citizen a day off,but laws cannot push what people have no feelings for.Therefore,the celebration or boycott of imported holidays or homegrown ones should be no cause for worry.If they are irrelevant,no social media will change the public's mind; and if they are accepted,there must be a need which they happen to satisfy.

Since we have no global Qin Shihuang to force one system on every country,we can always rely on a dual (双重的) approach by which we share with the outside world on one hand but preserve our own ways of life on the other.

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．
C．People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells．
D．People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal，oil，etc．
34．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．Electric cars are not clean at all．
B．Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones．
C．People cast doubts on electric cars'batteries．
D．Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle．
35．The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car runD．
A．not less than 25 miles
B．more than 25 miles

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.

2．I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past．Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era．
Recently，I had to change my thinking，when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place，with my two daughters．The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep（陡峭）stairs in order to find an empty table．After enjoying coffee and snacks，we went down the narrow stairs，where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down．
Just as I was in the middle of the stairs，a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase（楼梯）．I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up．I kept coming down as fast as I could．My daughters were already down，looking up at me worriedly，hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs，knowing I was a nervous sort．
Nearly reaching them，I noticed the man still standing near the door．I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open．I looked back thinking he was still at the door，deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place．I saw him going up the stairs，two at a time．I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up．
Such well mannered people are hard to find these days，when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society．We applauded for his chivalry（骑士精神）．

I'd like to share a unforgettable experience with you．It happened in a warm Sunday afternoon in August．I go shopping with my cousin，Li Ming．When walk in the street，we found a young man，who was big but strong，stealing a woman's wallet．We stopped her immediately．Though he stared at us angry，we didn't feel frightened and tried to make him to realize his bad behavior．Because our bravery，he left without saying a word．The woman thought highly of us for which we had done．In my opinion，it's our duty to fight against bad behaviors．
