21、The city of Lviv in Ukraine as I have seen in winter, greatly reminded me of several famous cities of Central and Eastern Europe that I have been to, such as Prague. 【1】 So you cannot make a single step without running into the next attraction.
The first thing that caught my eye was the architecture. I was astonished, though I am a beat-up traveler. The reason for my surprise is that Lviv’s houses breathe with history. While walking in the streets, you will repeatedly catch yourself imagining getting into the 17th century somehow. 【2】 I got one of my first bright impressions about Lviv almost immediately after my arrival, walking around the city center early in the morning, searching for a hostel to check into.
【3】 They are the number of themed cafes and restaurants, and extremely polite and friendly people. As for the cafes, they can be safely considered a hallmark of the city; looking back, I can tell you that you can hardly find two cafes in Lviv that would be at least remotely similar to each other.
People in Lviv are friendly. 【4】 The people I was talking to knew English quite well-knowledgeable enough to explain to me where I could go and what to see. Even individuals who didn’t speak a word in English still tried to give me a hand, using gestures and laughter, which was funny both for me and for them. 【5】 So maybe this was the reason for the people’s uplifted mood.
A．You can always count on help.
B．People living there like to chat with tourists.
C．Many locals smiled without any obvious reason.
D．It also has many strengths that make this city unique.
E．Many regular buildings are at least 2-3 centuries old.
F．I must recommend two other eye-catching places to you.
G．There were lots of tourists dropping in to take a picture.

23、 “Father, do you see Mother in your dreams?” the young girl asks. “You know sometimes I do.” “Mother comes to see me a lot, you know. We sit and talk.” The father smiles. “How is your homework coming along?”
“Why do I have to study so hard?”
“It is what your mother would have wanted!”
She regrets speaking her mind. “I’m sorry, Father, I shouldn’t have said that.” She looks up and sees his eyes well up with tears.
“It’s okay, love,” he gets up and pours himself a drink. “I’ll just sit outside for a while. You finish up your work, okay?”
“I’m sorry, Father; Mother did love you very much. She told me all the time.”
“Homework, first, eh? Then we can chat about your mother.”
He heads off outside and sits in his usual chair, looking around the courtyard. The whole area relaxes the mind and somehow soothes the soul.
“All finished, Father. May I get a drink and sit with you? I have some questions.”
She comes with two drinks one for him and one for herself. He looks surprised. She never really liked him having a drink. Although he had cut back a lot from before he brought her here, it still seemed strange.
“Mother told me all about you. That is before she passed away. We would laugh together at your love stories.”
He listens without uttering a single sound.
“Why didn’t you come and take her away with you? She really wanted that. Did you know that?”
Her father looks at his daughter lovingly. “Circumstances were difficult back then. It was just the way things were. When it came time to…” He sighs. “To visit her it was too late.”
The girl smiles. “I hope I will have the same kind of love you and mother had.” “Without all the heartache,” her father adds.
“She always knew you loved her. She told me every day,” the child mentions cheerfully. “I saw her crying sometimes when she read your letters.”
“Did she make you promise to look after me?” She inquires. “She asked me to take care of you.”
“You promised her, didn’t you?” “Yes, I did.”
“It is nice out here, isn't it? Mother would have been very happy here.”
She talks with some authority. Her father remains silent. A smile comes to his weary brow. He nods his head.
“Mother wanted me to give you something. I think now the time is right.” She runs to her room.
Upon returning she hands her father a book. “It’s mother’s diary! She wanted me to give it to you.” He takes the book and holds it in his trembling hands, “Thank you.”
“Mother said you would understand things better.” “Wise woman, your mother.”
He places the book on the table as he gets up. The girl gets up and wraps herself around her father. “I love you.” she looks up at his face.
He picks her up and hugs her. “I love you, too.” His voice trembles. “It’s okay, Father. We have each other now and mother is in both of us.” He kisses her head.
“Time you went to bed,” her father softly says.
He puts her down and she scampers off to get washed and ready for bed.
Clearing up everything he checks on his daughter. She is in bed waiting for her good night kiss. He tucks her in and bids her goodnight.
Just as he is to leave she tells him. “Mother told me she adopted me when I was a baby.” He stands at her bedroom door. Words fail him. Yes, he knew she was adopted.
“I am really lucky for being loved by my parents, even if I am not really theirs.” “You trying to bring on the water works?” he tells her.
She giggles, “Goodnight, Father. I love you.” “Love you, too.”
His face lights up as he wipes his dampened eyes.
The door closes and the child falls asleep dreaming of her mother.
Sitting outside he picks up the diary and opens it and reads the first line: “I love you, my dearest, if only things could have been different…”

24、Scientists in Michigan have developed a forest fire alarm system. It can not only detect when a fire begins but also call for help. This battery-free device hangs like an ornament(装饰品) in a tree and harvests all the energy it needs from the natural swinging of branches. Such a sensor could watch the woods for a decade without human attention.
“For forest fire monitoring, you don’t need high amounts of energy,” notes Cao Changyong, an engineer at Michigan State University who led the team behind the new device. It recharges itself about every 10 minutes with just enough power to take a measurement. That’s plenty of time, Cao says, “to generate sufficient energy.”
There’s an obvious need for fast monitoring of remote forests. Every year fires burn millions of acres in the United States. Early detection also can save lives right now. Forest fires are spotted from satellites or fire towers. Neither, Cao notes, is as fast or low-cost as tree-hanging sensors would be.
Cao’s group faced some challenges in creating its new sensors. For example, these have to produce enough power to survey the forest and send out a signal and that power source has to be durable. To tackle the problems, they decided to convert(转化) mechanical motion into electricity. The device to do this is known as a TENG, short for triboelectric nanogenerator. Scientists have explored TENGs as one way to harvest energy from the natural world, including harvesting energy from impacts on tabletops, falling rain, and even keyboards. The new TENG for forest use produces a current when a tree branch swings. That current is small, yet enough to power a thermometer(温度计) to detect the temperature changes signaling a fire.
Cao says his team’s new model has not yet been tested over long time periods in the real world, but the device is ready. All he needs now is the money to build more of them.
【1】What is special about Cao’s sensor?
A．It is self-powered.
B．It is shaped like a branch.
C．It can be used as a charger.
D．It keeps power for about a day .
【2】What advantage does Cao’s sensor have over satellites and fire towers?
A．It can work for a longer time.
B．It can monitor remoter forests.
C．It can make quicker detection.
D．It can be operated more easily.
【3】What does the underlined part “do this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Turn mechanical energy into electrical power.
B．Send out a signal when a fire breaks out.
C．Detect temperature changes in forests.
D．Collect electrical energy from nature.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Forest Fires Data Collected by Battery-Free Devices
B．Forest Fires Predicted by Tree-Hanging Sensors
C．A New Forest Fire Alarm System Arousing Forest Protection
D．A New Forest Fire Alarm System Powered by Trees
