21、Not willing to pay $400 for a basic room or upwards of $1,200 for a suite（套房）at a luxury（豪华的）hotel? We hear you. In the past, this meant having to put up with cheap hotels. Essentially, you got what you paid for. But all that’s changed, as mid-level hotels have begun competing for a population that travels more then ever. Even in New York and San Francisco --- two of the most expensive cities in the country --- one can find comfortable, affordable options with much modern conveniences. We searched the country for the best hotels under $150.
Hotel 340
St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
This twelve-storey（层）English-renaissance（文艺复兴）building once served as a downtown clubhouse for St. Paul’s outstanding people; today, the repaired structure houses the hotel on the top three floors. Its 35 rooms stand out for hardwood floors, marble showers and nice views of the Mississippi River, and room comforts include iPod docks（基座）, free local and national telephone calls and coffee makers. The University Club of St. Paul, a grand hall bar, and an all-new-60,000-square-foot fitness center（free for guests）also share space in the building.
Marina Inn
San Francisco, California, USA
Located in the Marina district, where the streets are lined with luxury stores and great restaurants, the Marina Inn is the ideal place for business or pleasure. Few destinations offer the quality and variety of environment, scenery, entertainment, accommodation, and dining that waits for you here at the Marina Inn. It’s a ten-minute walk to Fisherman’s Wharf and there are abundant bus connections to take you anywhere in the city.

22、The hydrogen-powered drone(无人机)，called “Qingting” in Chinese pronounced the same as the Chinese word “dragonfly”,has completed the automatic inspection of the 500 kilovolt of Wangnan Line.
It is the first time that a fuel-cell drone powered by hydrogen has been used in the national electrical power system to carry out inspection programs, meaning that hydrogen energy equipment has been firstly applied into the inspection of power grid(网).
The inspection drone traditionally is powered by lithium batteries which can last 20-30 minutes on average.There exists a certain threat to inspection safety if the drone falls out of control due to its use of large-capacity lithium battery pack, which easily leads to burn and explode. Thus, the current urgent need of inspection work for power grid requires a new kind of drone with long battery life,continuous inspection,and high security.
It is introduced that, this year State Grid Wenzhou Power Supply Company,together with Jinling Carbon Energy Digital Intelligence Technology Laboratory, finally successfully invented the first hydrogen-powered drone after half a year’s exploration and perseverance. As an electric drone taking hydrogen fuel cell to generate the power and hydrogen,hydrogen does not burn in thefuel cell during the operation of “Qingting”. Instead,it can be transformed directly into electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen through the action of platinum-carbon catalyst in a clean and carbon-free way, and the only product is water.
It is learned that it offers power autonomy of 2 hours, about four times that of the lithium battery drone. The life of hydrogen fuel cell is more than 2000 hours,about 20 times that of the lithium battery.The battery of hydrogen fuel cell contains no heavy metal pollutants, whose materials can be recycled after destruction. It is tested that the “Qingting”drone fails to burn or explode when it falls out of control,which performs better in safety.
The success of the initial inspection of the“Qingting”drone has filled the gap of the application of hydrogen fuel in the electric power drone. Next, the company will expand the multi-directional application of hydrogen drones in inspection for power grid by carrying different functional equipment to make breakthroughs in the technical barriers. Moreover, under the national policy of actively promoting the application of clean energy, accelerating the development of hydrogen fuel cells in the field of unmanned aviation vehicles(UAVs)is of significance.
【1】What can we learn about the traditional drone?
A．It is powered by hydrogen.
B．It can work for a long time.
C．It may burn if failing to control.
D．It can ensure the safety of power grid.
【2】What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A．How “Qingting” works.
B．Why “Qingting”is safe.
C．What advantages“Qingting”has.
D．What effects“Qingting”has on the environment.
【3】Which statement about hydrogen-powered drone is NOT correct?
A．The battery it uses is recyclable.
B．It has been used to examine power grid.
C．It can change hydrogen directly into electricity.
D．It can prevent the hydrogen battery from explosion.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Hydrogen fuel has been applied into other fields.
B．Hydrogen fuel has a bright future in many fields.
C．Hydrogen drone is widely used in the field of UAVs.
D．Hydrogen drone has taken along limited functional equipment.
23、Tips for job interviews
Whatever you do, don’t lie.
Daniel Space, a human resources consultant, said that if you can’t draw from personal experience to answer a question, it’s alright to say something like, “I haven’t been placed in that situation specifically yet, but here’s how I think I would handle it.”
The biggest mistake he sees is when candidates attempt to lie instead of acknowledging what they don’t know.
Don’t ramble (闲聊) and hope for the best. If you don’t understand what they’re asking, request clarification.
Rambling is the worst mistake a job candidate can make when they don’t know how to answer, according to Mary Abbajay, president of the leadership development consultancy Careerstone Group.
“They think if they talk long enough ... people will think they are answering the questions. Don’t do that,” she said. “When you are rambling, it shows you are a poor communicator.”
Lawrese Brown, the founder of C-Track Training, a workplace education company, pointed out that not all interview questions are clearly worded and it reflects better on you to ask for clarification when you need it.
“It demonstrates a confidence and assertiveness to say, ‘Hey, can you clarify? ... Because I want to share the right insights with you, I want to share the most relevant information,’” she said.
Asking for the question to be repeated might also buy you time to think of an answer, Abbajay added.
Don’t give up and just say “I don’t know,” either. Advocate for the person you are.
It’s OK to admit you have not yet acquired a specific skill or faced a certain problem, said Tejal Wagadia, a recruiter for a major tech company. But don’t just say “I don’t know” when you are stumped. Saying something like, “I don’t know that yet, but I’m willing to learn that skillset,” shows your willingness to learn new things, Wagadia said.
“Redirect your answer and share how the skills you’ve gained in another capacity have prepared for the target opportunity,” said Ashley Watkins, a job search coach.
【1】During the interview ,why shouldn’t you lie ?
A．People trust you just tell a white lie
B．No need to clarify yourself with the interviewers.
C．You are so modest during the interview
D．The interviewer will think you are not a reliable person.
【2】Rambling is the worst mistake because ________ .
A．it shows you are a poor communicator
B．it represents you excel in communicating
C．it enables interviewers to know you more
D．it helps develop your skills
【3】When you can’t answer the interviewers’ questions clearly , ________ ?
A．Just say “ I don’t know ”
B．Tell them you are not willing to learn that skillset
C．You may share your skills you’ve gained in another capacity
D．Just redirect your answer
【4】When we go for a job interview ,what attitudes are available ?
①look around ② keep your back straight③cross your arms
④make constant eye contact⑤stare fixedly at the interviewer.⑥a genuine smile
A．①②③
B．②④⑥
C．④⑤⑥
D．③⑤⑥
24、What will our world be like in 2050?
There are two features in the growth of world population. First, the annual increase in population in 15 European countries, in the past few years, has been only 300,000. The United Nations estimates (估计)that by 2050, the population of European countries will decrease from the current 0.72 billion to 0.63 billion. Second, the population in developing countries is growing rapidly. By 2050，the population of Africa is expected to reach 1.8 billion, 0.9 billion more than its current population.
A recent research report published by the United Nations indicates that it is quite possible that the Earth's temperature is rising well above the previous estimate. The Antarctic ice sheet, which contains 90% of the world's ice, has lost significant mass in the past few years. The discovery comes as a surprise to scientists, who thought that the continent would gain ice this century because of increased snowfall in a warming climate. A research team from the University of Colorado used satellite data to estimate that the ice sheet will lose up to 48 cubic miles by 2050.
Africa's rivers face great change that will leave a quarter of the continent severely short of water by the middle of the century, according to a global warming study published today. Even modest decreases in rain in western Africa will see rivers lose as much as 80% of their water and a rise of what the scientists call "water refuges(难民)”. "In those areas where there is already a water shortage, it's going to have a destructive effect," the study says,.“If you're already walking 5 km to the nearest stream, by 2050,it's going to mean walking 30 km or moving your whole household closer to the water source."
【1】Which of the following situations in 2050 is NOT mentioned in the text?
A．Population change.
B．Economic decline.
C．Global warming.
D．Water shortage.
【2】What surprises the scientists according to Paragraph 3?
A．The Antarctic ice sheet has decreased.
B．The Earth's temperature is going down.
C．Global warming is destroying the Earth.
D．Snowfall increases in the Antarctic area.
【3】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph stress (强调) ?
A．The ill fate of Africa's rivers.
B．The importance of doing exercise.
C．The hard life of the African refugees.
D．The seriousness of the water problem.
【4】What was the most possible feeling of the author when he wrote this text?
A．Happy.
B．Angry.
C．Worried.
D．Calm.
