21、Thick dust rose and a large building collapsed. This was the scene in Zhu Zhou，Hunan Province on May 17. Nine people were killed and 16 injured.
Things were similar in the Sichuan earthquake. Thousands of people were buried in the ruins and lost their lives. What if we could have warned them?
People are always racking their wits to find a way of preventing buildings’ collapse. Better materials and technology help，but they are not a solution.
Just like humans，a building has its own life cycle from “birth” to “death”．If we know when a building is going to collapse，we can repair it in advance or get out of it before it falls. Now，scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a material that turns red before it breaks. The invention could be used in things like climbing ropes or bridge supports. The research was led by Nancy Sottos，a professor at the university’s Beckman Institute，and Douglas Davis，a graduate research assistant.
The secret behind the color—changing material is a type of molecule (分子)．A molecule is a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds. Imagine you and your friends standing in a circle，holding hands. Each person stands for one atom，your hands represent the bonds，and the entire circle represents a molecule. If one person lets go of his or her hands，the molecule changes color. The research team put the molecule into a soft material. When the researchers stretched the material，it turned bright red for a few seconds before it broke into two pieces. When they repeatedly stretched and relaxed the material，without breaking it，it only turned a little red.
The major problem is that light can get rid of the red color. When the team shone bright light on the molecule，the broken bond was fixed，and the color disappeared. Scientists have yet to do more research before the color—changing molecules can be used outside the lab.
【1】What does the passage mainly introduce?
A. The collapse of a large building in Zhu Zhou, Hunan Province.
B. A type of molecule that can be put into a soft material
C. A material that turns red before it breaks.
D. A way of preventing building from collapsing.
【2】The underlined words “racking their wits” in the third paragraph mean ________.
A. suffering a lot B. collecting beyond imagination
C. losing a lot D. thinking very hard
【3】Which of the following is a WRONG statement?
A. Thousands of people died from the collapse of buildings in the Sichuan earthquake because they hadn’t been warned.
B. There is no building that will never collapse.
C. A new material has been applied to buildings to warn people of collapse.
D. A color—changing material can turn red before it breaks.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A. The color—changing molecules are certain to be used outside the lab.
B. There will be less collapse with the help of the color—changing material.
C. The bright light may make the material’s warning system useless.
D. The problem caused by bright light will be solved by scientists soon.
22、Kayabuki no Sato, a small village in Kyoto famous for its traditional thatched (茅草的） roof houses, features a hidden sprinkler (洒水器） system that turns the whole place into a water fountain.
Known as Miyama’s Thatched Village, Kayabuki no Sato has a higher percentage of thatched roof farmhouses than any other place in Japan. This makes it very popular with tourists, who love walking among the over 40 traditional thatched roof houses and even spending the night in one of them, but it is also easy for the houses to catch fire. Local officials realized this in the year 2000, when a fire burned down the archive (档案） centre, so apart from asking people to be alert at all time, they decided to install a special sprinkler system to cover the whole village. They test it twice a year, usually in May and December, and people from all over Japan and beyond come to see the powerful sprinklers in action.
You might think that dozens of automated sprinklers dotting a traditional Japanese village would be an eyesore, and you would be right. That is why local authorities decided to maintain the picturesque look of Kayabuki no Sato by hiding the 62 metal sprinklers in small wooden houses similar to the authentic ones. When the system is activated, the roofs of these houses open up like tiny transformers, clearing the way for sprinklers inside to shoot jets of water high into the sky.
The testing of the sprinkler system is such an impressive event that it has become known as the Kayabuki no Sato water hose festival. Strong jets of water are shot into the air by all 62 strategically-placed sprinklers, at the same time, to cover all the thatched roof houses. And if that isn’t an impressive enough sight, on sunny days, the sprinklers also create rainbows over the village.
So if you’re ever in Kyoto during the months of May and December and want to see something truly unique, head over to Kayabuki no Sato, in the Miyama rural area, for the water hose festival. You won’t regret it!

23、Barditch High School decided to hold an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.
Some eyes rolled and there were few low groans (嘟囔声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak:
“I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.”
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued:
“It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.“
“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar(呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

24、A number of Cypriots gathered in order to hear three speakers share their experiences and thoughts on the damage of sites and monuments of Cypriot cultural heritage in the occupied north.
According to the latest reports, 575 churches have been desecrated(亵渎), 19 have been damaged and 41 have been used in unacceptable ways. But a group of devoted Cypriots have tried to actively show that they don’t stand such contempt(轻视)for a country’s history and tradition.
One of the speakers, Glafkos Kariolou, spoke about the need for the locals who have been forced to flee their home due to the Turkish attack on Cyprus to gradually “re-root” themselves to their homeland.
The audience was deeply moved by the personal report given by a woman described by the event organizers from the “Lobby for Cyprus” as “a legend”. Tasoula Hadjitofi, founder of the Netherlands based “Walk of Truth” non-governmental organization, almost single-handedly managed to make the whole world aware of the problem of artifacts’ trafficking.(文物走私)
Jim Karygiannis, another speaker, has long been interested and helping with the restoration of destroyed cultural monuments. Mending damage is important, but stopping the damage is more important. So his suggestion to apply pressure on international bodies over the occupied Cyprus cultural heritage protection had everyone in the audience nodding in agreement.
Although the current picture taken from occupied Cyprus regarding the respect towards the island’s cultural heritage makes the Cypriots’ hearts bleed, that hot evening left them with a hope that things could be fixed, at least to a degree. However, as the speakers suggested, wishful thinking does not achieve results.
Specific non-governmental plans have already been made. One of them involves regular visits to the occupied land by young second generation Cypriot refugees, guided by people that grew up in those areas. The other, aiming at a higher level of politics, runs along the lines of sending the information concerning the damage of occupied Cyprus’s cultural heritage to all nationally elected officials.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Cypriots took over the cultural heritage in the occupied north in the end.
B. The meeting made no difference to the protection of Cypriot cultural heritage.
C. Cypriot cultural heritage in the occupied north has been completely destroyed.
D. In northern Cyprus, Cypriot history and tradition are treated in disrespectful ways.
【2】We can learn from the passage that “Walk of Truth” .
A. is described as “a legend”
B. aims at protecting artifacts
C. is a branch of “Lobby for Cyprus”
D. is managed by the Netherlands government
【3】The underlined word “restoration” in Paragraph 5 probably means__.
A. repair B. cleanup C. replacement D. analysis
【4】What suggestion do these speakers give the audience?
A. Organizing a trip to the occupied Cyprus.
B. Driving the Turkish out of the occupied north.
C. Taking action is more effective than thinking.
D. Calling on the government to make new policies.
【5】What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Cypriot cultural heritage suffers from serious damage.
B. Effective ways Cypriots have been used to protect cultural heritage.
C. Cypriots are determined to protect cultural heritage in the occupied north.
D. Cypriots are taking measures to regain cultural heritage occupied by Turkey.
