【題目】 It was February and Danny Filippidis and his friends were skiing around. After a few days of fun and relaxation, their annual trip was coming to a close. Danny wanted to capture(捕捉) a few more memories of it to post online when they got home. The problem was, he’d left his cell phone in the car.

By the time Danny realized this, he and his friends were already halfway up Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid. Not wanting to miss a moment, he told his friends to wait while he skied back down to fetch the phone. Danny was an adult and an experienced skier, so they had no reason to doubt his return.

However, it wasn’t until it began to get dark that his friends finally realized something may have gone wrong. They called the police, who began a ground search in no time. Before long, his family and friends came down to help as well. But Danny was nowhere to be found.

What the rescue teams didn’t know at the time was that, by the time the alarm went out, Danny wasn’t even in Lake Placid anymore. He’d taken a wrong turn on his way back to the car, falling down and becoming knocked out. It was dusk by the time he woke up, not knowing where he was.

Danny struggled his way to the road. He flagged down a truck in the hope of securing a ride off the mountain. The truck stopped and he climbed into the warm cab. After telling the trucker where he was going, he fell into a heavy sleep. When the trucker finally informed him that they had arrived, it had been midnight, when his family and friends were still searching the cold wilderness for any sign of him.

Danny often reflects on what might have happened if he hadn’t been found by that trucker. To this day, Danny Filippidis doesn’t know the trucker’s name. He doubts whether he could even point him out if he saw him on the street and the police have been unable to track the man down as well.

1Why did Danny ski back to fetch his phone?

A.To surf the Net.B.To avoid it being stolen.

C.To make a call.D.To shoot some photos.

2What happened to Danny on his way down the mountain?

A.He got stuck in a rock.B.He fell down the mountain.

C.He met with a snowstorm.D.He crashed into a truck.

3What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.Danny was grateful to the trucker.B.Danny was extremely forgetful.

C.The authorities took no action at all.D.The trucker was hard to recognize.

【題目】 George Washington Carver had a goal. This was to help southern farmers who needed good crops. They needed crops that didn’t hurt the soil. Carver went to Simpson College in Iowa, in which he studied for three years. Then he went to Iowa State, where he got two degrees. The college knew he was smart and wanted him to stay. So he joined the team. He was put in charge of a huge greenhouse. There he grew over 20,000 kinds of fungi(真菌),which made him famous.

Carver had many job offers. Thomas Edison offered $175,000 a year. Henry Ford tried to hire him too. Joseph Stalin invited him to the Soviet Union to help with cotton. But Carver refused all offers. Instead, he took a job at Tuskegee Institute. This was a school for African Americans. Carver was paid only $1,000 a year. But he was happy because he had goals to reach and he knew he could reach them at Tuskegee.

Carver worked at Tuskegee for 47 years. He never asked for a raise in pay. And he never received one. He worked so hard that he died in his office chair on January 4, 1943.

Through his efforts, Carver set up a fund, for he wanted research to continue. He gave his life’s savings to it, which came to $40,000. One honor came after his death. His birthplace was made a national shrine (圣地). How surprised the modest Carver could have been!

【題目】 Perhaps people have never realized that fashion materials should be one of the worst destroyers on our environment in countries across the world.

Everybody enjoys wearing warm fashionable sweaters, but they never realize how much harm they have done to the environment . Studies suggest that 70 percent of the damage to the grasslands is due to overgrazing(過(guò)度放牧).Because of that, tile balance of nature is broken, extreme weather occurs frequently, species are under serious threat, and finally grasslands are becoming desert gradually. The major real cause driving this activity is that human beings demand for cheaper wool to make fashionable clothing.

What you might not know is that the natural fibers for making clothes are often taken from trees in ancient forests or other plants such as bamboo and cotton . This means that the clothes we buy and wear are contributing directly to destroying forests and habitats. In fact, cotton is by no means a fully environmentally friendly crops on the planet. For a start, it uses so much water to. produce, which leads to the freshwater shortage across the globe. It can take 2,700 liters of water to make just one cotton T-shirt. Additionally, growing cotton requires high levels of pesticide and other dangerous chemicals that often pollute waterways and soil. As for man-made fibers, the damage done by them is far worse than other materials.

In recent years, retailers (零售商)have increased the number of fashion collections each season even-each month or week. Throwaway culture is known as "fast fashion" due to low prices . Every year, 100 billion new garments made from new fibers are produced, many of which soon end up in landfill(垃圾填埋場(chǎng)).A dress might cost a few pounds for the consumer, but there is a hidden cost to the wider environment including ecosystems and other species.

1According to the passage, the real destroyer on the grasslands is ___.

A.overgrazingB.unbalanced nature

C.human beings’ needD.change of weather

2Relatively speaking, which fiber does most harm to environment?

A.The cotton fiber.B.The tree fiber.

C.The man-made fiber.D.The bamboo fiber.

3What is the writer's attitude to the "fast fashion,, culture?

A.Opposed.B.Approved.C.Neutral.D.Sympathetic.

4What is probably the best title for the text?

A.Damage to Our Environment

B.Fashion Materials, the Hidden Environment Destroyer

C.Destroying Forests and Habitats

D.Throwaway Culture

【題目】 One of the biggest enemies of smartphone batteries is the phones ’ screens. The screens keep getting bigger, and they need to keep bright for outdoor use. 1 But, a new OLED technology can increase brightness and energy efficiency ( 效率). The technology is being developed by a team at the Imperial College London. They’re using a special development process to produce OLEDs that give off polarized light (偏振光).

So, what's that all meaning? Screens often include filters (濾光器) to help reduce unpleasant bright light from outside. 2 However, they also can prevent lots of the light from the screen itself. Any light that doesn’t make it to your eyes is basically wasted energy. By creating OLEDs that send out polarized light, the team can get the light from the OLEDs to pass through a polarized filter while light from outside will still get filtered by it.

For now, the technology doesn’t mean much for phones we have in our hands. Since it's still being researched, it's not likely to find its way for upcoming phones very soon. 3

When it does, it would result in brighter screens and improved energy efficiency. Screens would not use the same amount of energy to produce bright light because none of it would be filtered out. 4

And, that would mean much longer-lasting batteries for smartphones.

5 For example, smartwatches don't pack large batteries, so any efficiency improvement would have a strong benefit.

A.That means they will use more energy.

B.Plenty of phones already get a full day of life.

C.This technology can be used in other areas as well.

D.But it would finally be applied to consumers’ phones.

E.It can give OLED screens a huge step forward in competition.

F.The new technology can almost double the efficiency of screens.

G.These make it easier to see the light coming from your phone's screen.
