21、A trip to London
My family had dreamed of a trip to London for a long time. Luckily it was possible for us to realize our dream because all of us were free on the weekend.
We planned to drive into Cambridge and caught the 7: 34 train to Liverpool Street Station.Then my wife and I would separate from Joan, my wife’s sister, to do different things and finally meet again for lunch. And after lunch, we would go to the concert.
But we were late because of a thick London fog. The train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. We didn’t have any mobile phones at that time. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find her.
It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2: 30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” said my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by subway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it.Just when I was about to become angry, we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road.
By now it was far too late to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2: 30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. We were tired and hungry.
We finally reached home at ten. Opening the door we were amazed to find Joan at home; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant. Of course, she managed to get home, too. Oh my god!
【1】What did the writer plan to do after lunch that day?

22、 Traveling with your dear pet by train in comfort and safety is like an adventure: It requires a little advanced planning. 【1】 And your pet can stay healthy along the way.
【2】
Best practices for keeping your pet healthy can vary by time of year, activity and destination. For example, hiking and back-country adventures can increase your pet’s exposure to ticks, while some regions may have a higher risk for heartworm. And even though your pet may currently be flea-free (无跳搔的),there’s no guarantee that other animals are as well.
Learn railway requirements
【3】 Additionally, make sure to book your pet’s ticket in advance-no one wants the heartbreak of a trip delayed or canceled because the train is at capacity (程度)for four-legged travelers.
Reduce your pet’s anxiety around train noise
If you know your dog or cat loves to go for a ride, you may not have to worry. 【4】 Put your pet in a carrier, head for the station and give plenty of treats and praise as the trains roll in. This will help your pet get used to the sounds of the railway station and the engine. 【5】 Take your pet on a day trip to see how well they manage the noise, the motion and the excitement.
A.Other routes allow pets in all cars.
B.Going for a test ride is even better.
C.Talk to the vet before you leave.
D.Make sure to do so before you leave for traveling.
E.But anxious pets might benefit from a practice run.
F.Different routes have different rules about pets on board.
G.Follow these three easy tips to help your four-legged friend travel well.
23、Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This vision has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology. Now, by simply wearing a pair of glasses, you can drive safely at night, walk home in the dark, or even explore dark forests and caves without holding a flashlight!
This exciting innovation (创新) came to light at the Australia National University. The technology is composed of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses of regular glasses. It is inexpensive to make, and is lightweight. The thin film is made of nanometer-scale crystals. It is so minute that it is 100 times thinner than a strand of hair. Regardless of its size, its performance is impressive.
The international team has made the invisible visible, and it will be available to all. “Our technology is able to transform infrared (红外线的) light, normally invisible to the human eye, and turn this into images people can clearly see, even at distance,” lead researcher Dr. Rocio Camacho Morales said in the press release. The new device is able to function at room temperature. And as the new technology is not large like its predecessors (前身), it has many future applications. Researchers foresee using this night vision for autonomous vehicle navigation and medical imaging. Once this new night vision is available to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to navigate better at night, especially when driving on unlighted roads. Police can use them when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark.
The innovators are excited to move from the lab towards making practical applications available for all. “While this is the first proof-of-concept experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology,” Mohsen Rahmani, lead developer of the nanoscale crystal films, said. The many uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all.
【1】What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the topic of the text.
B.To give the background information.
C.To guide readers to read the passage.
D.To stress the importance of seeing in the dark.
【2】What does the underlined “minute” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Short.
B.Soft.
C.Tiny.
D.Thick.
【3】What can we know about the new technology’s predecessors?
A.They are small for researchers to carry.
B.They will help police to make a search at night.
C.They can make infrared light visible in the dark.
D.They have fewer functions than the new technology.
【4】What does Mohsen Rahmani think of the technology?
A.It still needs improvement.
B.It is part of the existing technology.
C.It has already been put into practice.
D.Many users feel confident with it.
24、 On May 9, 2016, biologist Chris Kelly saw a lone bat on a bridge crossing the French Broad River outside Asheville, North Carolina. Five years later, everything wildlife biologists thought they knew about endangered gray bats in this corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains has been changed.
Kelly, a biologist with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, was on the bridge doing bird work. Bats aren't her area of expertness, so she reached out to the state's bat experts. Joey Weber, a technician who was working for the Commission, arrived at the bridge later that day and found 19 big brown bats inhabiting in the expansion joints. But he heard many more.
That night, Weber was joined by Katherine Etchison, the Commission's bat biologist, for an emergence count. They counted 240, but a busy schedule meant the team couldn't return for a second emergence count until July 18. “I was very eager to get back out there because I really thought there would be something besides big brown bats. I was thinking Mexican free-tailed bats, which would be a first for Buncombe County, and I was right but that wasn't the big news,” said Etchison.
The second emergence count recorded 1,000 bats. To learn which species used the bridge, biologists recorded the ultrasonic(超声的) sounds made by emerging bats, which are species-specific. Later that night, Etchison rolled through the recorded calls, displayed vividly on her computer, and the suspected Mexican free-tailed bats showed up. But, so too did something very unexpected.
She immediately texted Susan Cameron, an Asheville-based biologist. Along with big brown and Mexican free-tailed bats, the computer identified the calls of endangered gray bats. The discovery was confirmed the next day when Etchison, Weber, and Cameron visited the bridge at dusk-just before bat emergence-and carefully captured a bat from one of the expansion, joints. The 2016 discoveries marked the first time gray bats were known to inhabit in North Carolina.
【1】How did Kelly find the bat on the bridge?
A.Accidentally.
B.Professionally.
C.Purposefully.
D.Skillfully.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “the big news” refer to in the third paragraph?
A.That a big brown bat was identified.
B.That Mexican free-tailed bats showed up.
C.That the discovery of gray bats was confirmed.
D.That 1000 bats were recorded.
【3】How did biologists recognize the species of the bats?
A.By emergence counting.
B.By recording specific sound.
C.By capturing the bats.
D.By looking through the computer.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.An Endangered Bat Discovery
B.A Biology Research
C.The Emergence of Bat
D.The Way of Finding Endangered Bats
