21、About three decades ago, China was known as the "Bicycle Kingdom". But later on, bikes were replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.
But recent months have seen a recovery of the humble bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, pioneered by start-ups like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphone. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They're popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the "last mile" problem,which refers to the final leg of a person's journey.
" In places where the subway doesn't extend, where it's difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it's so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike," Hu Hong,29,told AFP. She pedals(骑车)to her Shanghai real-estate job.
However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism(故意毁坏) and theft. Last month，two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative punishment for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes. And in December, a man who stole a shared bike was sentenced to a 3-month detention(拘留)，and fined 1 ,000 yuan by the Shanghai Minhang People's Court.
" Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience，"said Liu Xiaoming，vice-minister of transport.
" But it's a combination of online and offline business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems."
Now, Chinese service operators are trying to solve the problems. For example, a bike- sharing company called Mobike sets a 100-point credit score for each user, with points taken in the case of bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80，bike rental is increased to 100 yuan per 30 minutes, up from 0.5 - 1 yuan.
【1】Which of the following belongs to the "last mile" problem?
A．Missing the business plane for the traffic jam.
B．To get to somewhere the subway can reach.
C．Having troubles in changing from bus to taxi.
D．To remove the last rock in the way.
【2】What reason causes many problems in bike-sharing?
A．Some people make damage to the bikes on purpose.
B．Operators lack offline business experience.
C．The bike-sharing business is too complicated to run.
D．There are no relative laws on this business.
【3】Why are the bike-sharing systems popular?
A．They are very effective.
B．They can be picked up anywhere.
C．They are equipped with GPS.
D．They help solve the last mile problem.
【4】What's the best title for this passage?
A．Bickes Pedaling Back Into Styles
B．A New Way of Transportations
C．Riding a Mobicycle for Free
D．Bicycle Kingdom Became Famous Again
22、 Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.
Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo a few years ago. Hugo struck Soutii Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.
Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo’s wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.
At first sight, the house on Sullivan’s Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The housed wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.
To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber (木材) pilings — long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.
Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed (隐藏) by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn’t look like it’s standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.
【1】The award-winning beach house is quite strong because ________.
A.it is strengthened by steel rods B.it is made of redwood
C.it is in the shape of a shell D.it is built with timber and concrete
【2】Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to ________.
A.withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hr
B.anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand
C.break huge sea waves into smaller ones
D.prevent water from rushing into the house
【3】The main function of the shell is ________.
A.to strengthen the pilings of the house
B.to give the house a better appearance
C.to protect the wooden frame of the house
D.to slow down the speed of the swelling water
【4】It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be ________.
A.fancy-looking B.waterproof
C.easily breakable D.extremely strong
23、Quickly ask yourself: What did you eat today? Now tell me how you actually feel. If you’re complaining of stress, anxiety, depression, aches and pains, foggy thinking, or just a general lack of energy, a new medical theory will blow your mind. The chances are that those disease-like symptoms are all the result of what’s called hidden food allergies(过敏反应).
This is what Ken Drew found out when he was lucky enough to be recommended to medical practitioner Dr. Patel. Patel is considered something of a genius, and has been called a modern day Louis Pasteur. You’ve heard of him, of course—Pasteur figured out how to keep milk from getting spoiled. Dr. Patel is like a Louis Pasteur for keeping your body from getting spoiled from chronic(慢性的) diseases.
“Foggy thinking, slightly constipated(便秘的), heart pain,…you name it. It’s part of getting old,” you say. “It’s just stress.” Most of the body’s immune defenses are all located in your stomach, so when you have a hidden food allergy and you expose yourself to harmful foods, your defenses malfunction(故障) and disease-carrying bacteria take over. Had you not eaten that one food you were allergic to for breakfast, you would never have got sick.
Together, Dr Patel and Ken Drew have developed the Reverse My Disease program, which claims it can bulletproof your body against diseases like arthritis(关节炎), Alzheimer’s, diabetes, heart disease and cancers. You won’t need a prescription and there isn’t any kind of medical procedure involved. There’s no medical jargon, no complicated diet to do. What it does do is claim to tell you how to hack your body’s natural defense system.
Dr. Patel has remained under the radar of the entire medical establishment because his ideas are so threatening to doctors who don’t want you to stop being sick enough for them to write you prescriptions. Those doctor visits cost you, so check out Reverse My Disease if you want to prevent disease by learning how to eat food that won’t harm your body.
【1】We can learn from the passage that Louis Pasteur ________.
A. made great contributions to keeping human body from getting spoiled from chronic diseases.
B. has developed the Reverse My Disease program with Dr. Patel.
C. recommended Ken Drew to Dr. Patel.
D. might be a great scientist who did research on bacteria.

A. they are getting old.
B. their immune defenses are all located in your stomach.
C. they don’t eat the right food.
D. they are involved in a medical procedure.
【3】What does the underlined word “bulletproof” most probably mean?
A. damage B. defend
C. diagnose D. demand
【4】What can we know from the passage?
A. Once you get sick or depressed, you should go to the doctor for a prescription.
B. You can find a prescription or a complicated diet from the Reverse My Disease program.
C. Exposing yourself to harmful foods causes problems to your defense system.
D. Reverse My Disease program has been well-accepted by doctors.
【5】What is the author’s attitude towards Reverse My Disease?
A. Unconcerned. B. Supportive.
C. Cautious. D. Negative
24、 Participants in an online forum were asked whether space exploration was worthwhile. Here are some of the comments they posted:
Planet Girl 7.17 pm
Our world is damaged by war, hunger and poverty. Billions of people struggle just to survive from day to day. Meanwhile the US space agency has US $16 billion to play with every year. We must deal with the world’s urgent problems. Space exploration is a luxury we cannot afford.
Dragon 7.18 pm
That $16 billion spent on space is nothing compared to the $370 billion spent on the military.
JJ 7.20 pm
Exploring space is investing in the future. Everyone knows we’re running out of resources. There’s massive over-population too. The solar system has heaps of resources we can use for mining, and maybe we can explore other planets. If we don’t do it now, it might be too late.
Planet Girl 7.22 pm
We have to settle problems of over-population and resource consuming here on Earth, instead of chasing science fiction dreams. Otherwise we will just export our unsustainable lifestyle to another planet. We might consume the whole universe!!
JJ 7.23 pm
Space explorers rock! They know what they are in for, and they still do it anyway. That’s what I call courage! We humans have always struggled to expand our horizons. We want to know what else is out there. Who knows, maybe we’ll discover the solution to all our problems out there!
Switched-on 7.25 pm
Space exploration has had a huge effect on our lives. Want to talk to someone halfway around the world? Sure. Get the weather forecast? Coming right up. Check exactly where you are? Absolutely. It’s all possible, thanks to satellite technology, global positioning systems, and the rest. If there was no space exploration, we’d be sitting around in the dark, not talking online!
Penny 7.50 pm
Satellites are launched by private companies — for profit. Planet Earth doesn’t always benefit. Exploring remote planets certainly does not contribute to life on Earth.
