21、 Russian police have started a new attempt to get drivers to slow down at zebra crossings by having painted horses as zebras walk across on the busiest streets in some of the big cities in an attempt to improve road safety and raise awareness among Russia’s notoriously (臭名昭著地) careless drivers.
The light grey horses, painted with black stripes, carried signs on their backs reading: “Careful, children are on their way to school.” The police sent the “zebras” to several different locations in the Russian capital, where officials in orange vests walked them over zebra crossings and handed out leaflets (传单) to passing drivers.
Some held up rainbow-coloured umbrellas over the painted animals to protect them from the rain. Russian roads are notoriously dangerous and drivers still rarely take the initiative (主动采取措施) to avoid pedestrians. Nearly half of all traffic accidents in the country’s big cities are caused by cars hitting pedestrians, and a third of those occur on crossings, according to traffic police figures published last month.
In the first six months of this year, 378 people were killed and more than 6, 600 injured on pedestrian crossings in Russia, according to police. In Moscow alone, 43 people were killed, including two children.
Though police officials said that only safe paint would be used on the animals, animal rights activists still disagreed with the idea, accusing the police of “treating animals like garbage”.
“Children understand that paints are bad for animals,” the Interfax news agency quoted president of Vita animal rights group Irina Novozhilova as saying.
Let’s hope this part of the campaign is over and animals are left out of future attempts to raise pedestrians’ awareness.
【1】Why do Moscow police have “zebras” walk across on the busiest streets?
A. To make a call on protecting animals.
B. To remind people zebras are in danger of extinction.
C. To tell people it is dangerous to cross streets.
D. To raise drivers’ awareness of road safety.
【2】What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The zebras. B. The horses.
C. The policemen. D. The drivers.
【3】From the text we can learn that ________.
A. most Russian drivers have realized the seriousness of the problem
B. Russian drivers often ignore traffic lights
C. Russian drivers seldom give way to pedestrians
D. the driving skills of Russian drivers are bad
【4】What do animal rights activists think of the new attempt?
A. Drivers must slow down at pedestrian crossings.
B. These animals are ill-treated by the police.
C. The paints used on the horses are safe.
D. Road safety should be improved.
【5】Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards the campaign?
A. Critical. B. Reserved.
C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
22、 British shoppers buy 2.15 million tons of clothing and shoes annually, yet UK citizens have an estimated €30 billion worth of unused clothing at the back of the wardrobe. But new technology could see the end of that, with the garments (衣服) themselves reminding the owners of their existence.
“Smart clothes” could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting (发推文) us if they haven’t been worn for a good while. If these messages are ignored, the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused, with an organization automatically sending out donation information. They could be programmed for a public sale where they are sold to whoever offers the highest price on eBay.
Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the connected “wardrobe” to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees garments tagged (贴标签), using washable contactless technology.
Mark Brill, senior lecturer at the university, said, “Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn’t know were in their wardrobe.” “The connected wardrobe is a practical pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption. Finally, I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption,” he added. “Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of ‘ownership’ of clothing. When we’ve worn them enough, the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper. ”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of Things” —a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information. Now, the “Internet of Clothes” will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners, “asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear. Clothes will keep track of other information, such as who owned them previously, as well as how much they originally cost, who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.
【1】What does the author say about “smart clothes”?
A．They may be donated on eBay.
B．They have gained in popularity.
C．They give warnings if worn out.
D．They may be recycled if long forgotten.
【2】How does Mark Brill find the “connected wardrobe”?
A．It helps people buy clothes at reasonable prices.
B．It changes people’s shopping habits.
C．It contributes to right consumption attitude.
D．It improves shoppers’ confidence.
【3】What is suggested in the last paragraph?
A．The Internet is a platform to share items.
B．Weather affects the connected wardrobe.
C．Clothes are sold online at a low price.
D．Clothes can be a source of information.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude to the new technology?
A．Critical.
B．Uninterested.
C．Approving.
D．Skeptical.
23、I have lived in rural America for nine years, first in Michigan, where I got my PhD; then in central Illinois and now in Indiana, where I am a professor. In a place where most people have lived the whole of their lives, I feel like a stranger. There are few things I enjoy more than complaining about my geographic isolation. I’m a vegetarian, so there’s nowhere to go for a nice dinner that isn’t 50 miles away. I’m black, so there’s nowhere to get my hair done that doesn’t involve another 50-mile drive. And the closest major airport is two hours away.
I recite these gripes to my friends. We all have grand ideas about what life would be like if only we did that, or lived there. And there’s this; I really don’t intend to change most of the things I complain about. Griping is seductive on those days when happiness requires too much energy. But it also makes me lose sight of the fact that I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I go to the coasts, I am struck by how unappealing big-city living can be.
While I may not love where I live, there are plenty of people who are proud to call this place home. At a party with colleagues, I was going on about everything I couldn’t stand in our town when I noticed that they were silent and shifting uncomfortably. That moment forced a change in me. Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect life. By focusing on gripes, I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation. When I get home, I stand on my balcony, look into the night sky and see the stars. I know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about.

B．Temporary.
C．Violent.
D．Flexible.
【3】How might the author feel about himself when the atmosphere changed at a party?
A．Humbled.
B．Angry.
C．Touched.
D．Calm.

A．Every day is beautiful.
B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C．Human must value lives themselves.
D．Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish.
24、Three divers enter a hole leading to a water-filled cave on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. They swim for an hour. Finally, they reach a large room 60 feet underground and about the size of two basketball courts. Here, they discover an upside-down human skull (the bones of a person’s head). Other bones lay nearby.
The team came across the skull in 2007. The divers then told the Mexican government about the finding. Soon the government formed a team of scientists to look into it. The group, which included archaeologist (考古学家) Dominique Rissolo, believed that the skull belonged to someone who lived in the last ice age. At the ice age’s height some twenty thousand years ago, sea levels dropped and new land appeared. Over time, rain and wind ate holes into some of the land.
“The person may have died after entering the cave,” Rissolo says. Then, when the ice age ended some ten thousand years ago, sea levels rose. Water flooded the cave, covering the remains.
Worrying that moving the skull might destroy it, scientists decided to examine it at its watery resting place. They collected information about the skull and other pieces of bones. They found that the bones belonged to a 15- to 17-year-old girl who lived at least twelve thousand years ago. The team named her Naia after some sea creatures in Greek myths.
Naia is the oldest nearly complete human skeleton (骨架) ever found in the Americas. DNA tests showed that she’s a direct ancestor of present-day Native Americans. Naia’s DNA also matches with people native to Siberia, a part of Russia. Scientists have long thought that ancient people from this area arrived in Alaska during the last ice age. They were the first humans to live in the Americas. And Naia proves how far south they went. (Mexico is a country to the south of the US.)
In 2014 the scientists decided to bring up Naia’s skull from the cave to protect it from curious divers. So it was taken to a lab, where it remains today.
【1】What do we learn about the skull?
A. It was left alone in the cave.
B. It lay under a basketball court.
C. It drew the government’s attention.
D. It was discovered by three scientists.
【2】When did Naia probably live?
A. After the last ice age ended.
B. Before the last ice age ended.
C. Before the last ice age started.
D. At the beginning of the last ice age.
【3】Why was the skull studied in the cave for several years?
A. Scientists tried to protect it.
B. The temperature was fine in there.
C. It was against the law to take it out.
D. It would help scientists study the cave,
【4】Who were Naia’s distant ancestors?
A. Early humans in Greece.
B. Early humans in Siberia.
C. Early humans in Alaska.
D. Early humans in Mexico.
