21、Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel (柴油) cars, but their days cannot continue for much longer. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 percent by 2020.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety” — drivers’ concerns about running out of electricity on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their high prices drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers. Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine (内燃机) models a run for their money.
As well as development on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions (排放). If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emission-free. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.
【1】What does the underlined word “hurdle” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Obstacle.
B．Intention.
C．Worry.
D．Stage.
【2】What will the future of plug-in cars be like?
A．They will suffer disbelief because of battery capacity.
B．The high price will put the future of electric cars at risk.
C．They will not be widely promoted because of picky customers.
D．They will compete with petrol and diesel cars fiercely for markets.
【3】What can we learn about in Paragraph 4?
A．The history of electric travel.
B．Different ways electric vehicles can be used.
C．Reasons why the world needs more electric cars.
D．The trend that more people have interest in electric cars.
【4】What is a suitable title for the text?
A．Potentials of Petrol and Diesel Cars
B．Challenges Facing Electric Cars
C．A Cleaner Future on the Road
D．Best Means of Transportation
22、 All around the world, lawyers generate more hostility(敌视) than the members of any other profession-with the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.
During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.
There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal education. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states: a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subjects, then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that they have to work extremely hard.
Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement(实施)them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school. If the bar exam is truly a strict enough test for a would-be lawyer, those who can sit it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third. The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like(行会) ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. There is pressure for change from within the profession, but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically.
In fact, allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers, by encouraging law firms to use technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms’ efficiency. After all, other countries, such as Australia and Britain, have started liberalizing their legal professions. America should follow.
【1】A lot of students take up law as their profession due to________
A.the growing demand from clients. B.the increasing pressure of inflation.
C.the prospect of working in big firms. D.the attraction of financial rewards.
【2】Which of the following adds to the costs of legal education in most American states?
A.Higher tuition fees for undergraduate studies.
B.Admissions approval from the bar association.
C.Pursuing a bachelor’s degree in another major.
D.Receiving training by professional associations.
【3】The obstacle to the reform of the legal system originates from_______
A.Lawyers’ and clients’ strong resistance.
B.the rigid bodies governing the profession.
C.the stern exam for would-be lawyers.
D.non-professionals’ sharp criticism.
【4】In this text, the author mainly discusses____
A.wrong ownership of America’s law firms and causes.
B.the factors that help make a successful lawyer in American.
C.a problem in America’s legal profession and solutions to it.
D.the role of undergraduate studies in America’s legal education.
23、 I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world when I was a very little child. I would talk to myself, “When I grow up, when I can become rich, I'll save kids all over the world.”
At the age of 17, I began my career here in America, and by 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血病）---her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We’re all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don't have to be rich to help others. You don't need to be famous. You don’t even have to be college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heat. My grandmother always used to say, “If you’ve got a dollar, there’s plenty to share.”
【1】What did the author want to do at a young age?
A. Watch TV B. Help other children
C. Become wealthy D. Grow up quickly
【2】Which of the following directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF?
A. A six-year-old kid’s request.
B. Many volunteers’ inspiration for it
C. Her grandmother’s death of cancer.
D. Other organizations’ encouragement.
【3】What does the underlined word “one”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A life B. A chance
C. A task D. An organization
【4】What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Do charity work when you are rich.
B. Challenge their friends to offer help.
C. Work very hard to get a college education.
D. Do little things to help those around them.
24、Here’s a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl situation. A young man has at last plucked up courage to invite a dazzling young lady out to dinner. She has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed.
He is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. When they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this beautiful creature is on a diet. She mustn’t eat this and she mustn’t that.
Oh, but of course, she don’t want to spoil his enjoyment. Let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants: it’s the surest way to an early grave (坟墓). They spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.
What a miserable lot dieters are! You can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food.
They are forever consulting calorie charts; gazing at themselves in mirrors; and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, bigger tummies (肚子) and double chins.
Some declare all-out war on FAT. Mere dieting is not enough. They exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna (桑拿) baths, being pummeled (击打) and massaged by weird machines. The really wealthy dieters pay vast sums for health cures’. For two weeks they can enter a nature clinic and be starved to death for a hundred dollars a week. Don’t think it’s only the middle-aged who go in for these fads (时尚) either. Many of these bright young things you see are suffering from chronic malnutrition: they are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of God.
Dieters undertake to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? Well, for one thing, they’re always hungry. You can’t be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible mixtures they eat instead of food leave them permanently dissatisfied. “Wonderfood is a complete food”, the advertisement says, “Just dissolve (溶解) a teaspoonful in water…”. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. And, of course, they’re always miserable because they feel so guilty. Hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they may run out and swallow five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. And who can blame them? At least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. What torture (折磨) it is always watching others eating piles of mouth-watering food while you have a water biscuit and sip bitter lemon juice!
What’s all this self-inflicted (自己造成的) torture for? Saintly people deprive themselves of food to attain a state of grace. Unsaintly people do so to attain a state of misery. It will be a great day when all the dieters in the world abandon their slimming courses; when they hold out their plates and demand second helpings!

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The familiar smell of garlic and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s pan-fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today，the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
“Charis, over here！”My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunch times resurfaced. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment shifted to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the remainder of middle school, my mom packed odorless(没有气味), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a new acquaintance, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, “Then, I’ll eat it！” The other girls laughed-apparently Katrina was known to be a big eater.
I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend, so I reluctantly dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I lifted the cover of my lunch container, I could practically taste the garlic and onion.
The girls, piqued(激起好奇心)by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped container. I expected an “Ew” or a“What is that？”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I had expected them to turn away-and turn me away before Katrina grabbed a small piece of tofu and enjoyed it.
