26、 A solar-powered car that can be charged as it runs is being tested in Germany.
Munich-based manufacturer(制造商)Sono Motors has built the new type, named Sion, and will likely help the European powerhouse hit its national target of 1 million electric cars on the road by 2020.
Sono Motors has solar cells fixed into Sion’s bodywork, with a total of 330 solar cells built into the roof, bonnet and sides of the vehicle. These enable the vehicle’s battery to be charged when sunlight is hitting the solar cells, whether it is on the road, or parked in the sunny spot in a car park.
The solar-powered vehicle is set to be launched in Germany in 2019.
Sono Motors wants Sion to be universal and allows the car to be charged using solar energy as well as conventional outlets(电源插座), so car owners aren’t left on cloudy days.
The firm has made a 2019 date for mass production, which will be undertaken(承担) by a European manufacturer. Some 6,500 people have already placed orders for the electric vehicle. Prices for Sion tend to start from € 16,000 next year. The all-electric vehicle will offer a range of around 250 km before the battery runs out completely and it needs recharging either by solar power or using a wall plug, the company said.
Sion was designed originally as an environmentally conscious car, but will also include a number of features designed around comfort to help it compete with other modern vehicles.
“We have a seat heater, air conditioning, and a large entertainment system where I can also connect my phone, which means I really have a full vehicle,” Laurin Hahn, co-founder of the company told Reuters.
【1】From the third paragraph we can know that .
A.the car is popular on the road B.the car has a very large battery
C.there are 330 solar cells on the car D.where there is sunlight, Sion can be charged
【2】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 “launch” mean?
A.design B.release C.improve D.recall
【3】Why does the car not break down when it is cloudy?
A.Because it is made from the rainproof material.
B.Because it can be charged by clouds on cloudy days.
C.Because it can store a great deal of energy.
D.Because it can be charged by conventional power outlets.
【4】What are the features of the car?
A.Modern, powerful and popular. B.Environmental, comfortable and competitive.
C.Environmental, cheap and simple. D.Expensive, fashionable and energy-saving.
27、 (CNN) — A 12 -year-old girl who had a feeling that she might be quite clever has taken a test and proved she was absolutely right.
Lydia Sebastian achieved the top score of 162 on Mensa’s Cattell III B paper, showing she has a higher IQ than well-known geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. The comparison doesn't sit well with the British student, who’s currently in Year 8 at a selective girl’s grammar school in Essex, England.
“I don't think I can be compared to such great intellectuals as Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. They’ve achieved so much. I don’t think it’s right”, Lydia told CNN.
To explain Lydia’s mark’s level, the top adult score in the Cattell III B test, which mainly tests verbal(语言) reasoning, is 161. A top 2% score —which allows entry to Mensa, the club for those with high IQs —would be 148 or over. Lydia scored 162, placing her in the top 1% of the population.
Lydia’s not quite sure what she wants to do when she leaves school, although she’s leaning toward something based on Maths, because it’s one of her favorite subjects. “All I’m going to do is work as hard as I can, and see where that gets me,” she said.
【1】The reason why Lydia wanted to have an IQ test was that _______,
A. her parents strongly wanted her to do so.
B. she felt that she might have a high EQ.
C. all people around thought that she was smart.
D. the grammar school advised her to do so.
【2】Which of the following can best take the place of the underlined words in the second paragraph?
A. be connected with.
B. be accepted by.
C. be satisfied with.
D. be refused by.
【3】What is Lydia’s plan about the future ?
A. She has the possibility of doing something on Maths in the future.
B. She doesn’t have to work hard with her high IQ.
C. She is quite sure about what to do in the future.
D. She will drop out of the grammar school.
【4】It can be implied from the passage that ______.
A. No one has achieved a higher IQ than Lydia.
B. Only adults with high IQs can enter Mensa.
C. Whoever has a high IQ can enter Mensa.
D. Mary whose IQ score is 150 can enter Mensa.
28、Where would you most like to go on vacation? Paris? London? The Amazon Rainforest? Each of these destinations is attractive. 【1】
As a new word, staycation refers to people staying at home during their vacation time, and going sightseeing around their hometown.
Staycations have become really popular recently, as a way of having an enjoyable vacation, without spending too much money. There are shortcomings to every positive thing, however.

2.【4】 You would have done it on a vacation, right? Treat yourself to this, at least for one day!
3.Throw a small party. Think about the money you are saving by not going away. You will still save money, but have more fun, and you will help other people to have fun too!
4. Go shopping! Window shopping, or the super fun type, where you buy things! You would have bought souvenirs (纪念品) if you had gone on a vacation, so treat yourself during your staycation!

29、 We once had a poster competition in our fifth-grade art class.
“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”
We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, what poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
【1】What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster?
A.It must appear in time. B.It must be done in class.
C.It must be done on a construction sheet. D.It must include the words on the blackboard.
【2】The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A.formed an idea for B.made an outline for
C.made some space for D.chose some colors for
【3】We can infer from the passage that the author ________.
A.enjoyed grown up tricks very much B.loved poster competitions very much
C.felt surprised to win the competition D.became wise and rich after the competition

32、认真阅读下面的图表与文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Significant numbers of high school students are receiving additional assistance from tutors. That requires a measure of time, commitment and sometimes a lot of money.
Tutors may be good for improving test scores, but they may harm a lot if students become overly dependent on tutors. Tutors’ role should be one of assessment, monitoring and assistance, not to take over and perfect. Tutors may be used to “bridge the gap”, but the responsibility stays on the student to take an active role in mastering the content and skills required for success.
I know kids who refuse to open their textbooks before the tutor gets in the house. Now I want to ask you a question: are you improving your study skills and developing learning intelligence with the “help” of your tutors?
