In summer, millions of people will head for the beach．And while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another way. Some scientists think that waves could help make electricity．
“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland．“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves．”
Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricity．Most waves are created when winds blow across the ocean．“The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ” Taylor said．“Waves are one of nature’s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey．”
When waves come towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮) ．The turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机) ．
The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in Scotland．
The resource is huge．We will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coal．
Oceans cover three quarters of the earth’s surface．That would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the world．There are some drawbacks, however．
Jamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much money．He said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknown．Plus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat traffic．
With more research, however, “many of these problems might be overcome,” Taylor said．“Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the world．Finding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day．”
In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!
【1】Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Wave power costs too much money．
B．Wave energy creates the same amount of pollution as other energy sources．
C．Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic．
D．Wave power may affect marine animals．
【2】We can infer from the passage that ______．
A．finding new energy sources like wave energy is important
B．wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world
C．wave power is perfect for creating energy around the world
D．wave power doesn’t create any pollution
【3】The underlined word “drawbacks” in the seventh paragraph probably means______．
A．regrets B．adventures
C．disadvantages D．difficulties
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Get Electricity by Waves．
B．A Huge Resource of Energy．
C．Can Waves Make Electricity?
D．The Disadvantages of Wave Energy．
22、Hong Kong isn’t the first place you’d expect to find a peaceful island. But in a quiet corner of Sai Kung district (西贡区), a tiny green island offers a rare glimpse into the past.
Nicknamed “Ghost Island,” Yim Tin Tsai (盐田仔) was once home to a flourishing Hakka (客家) community. They settled on the empty island and built salt pans (盐田) to earn a living. When the salt pans were shut down more than 100 years ago, most residents turned to farming and fishing.
In the 1960s, more and more families moved to other places. The last of the villagers on the island had moved abroad by the 1990s, and, in the following years, Yim Tin Tsai lay empty.
If travelers had visited Yim Tin Tsai a decade ago, they would have found nothing but overgrown weeds (野草) and crumbling houses. That’s exactly what villager Colin Chan saw when he returned to the island after 40 years. But, for him, the island represented something special — a unique side of Hong Kong’s history and culture that shouldn’t be forgotten.
“I came back here hoping to recover something I felt I had lost,” Colin said. “I found the island was in ruins and I was very sad. This is the place I grew up. This is my father’s home and his father’s home.”
In 1999, Colin was elected as village representative and began what would become a lifelong mission: to make the island come alive. Together with about 10 former villagers, Colin raised money to build a visitor center for travelers. In 2004, a charitable foundation donated funds to renovate the island’s historical chapel (小教堂). In 2005, UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation honored the chapel with an award of merit (优异奖).
Motivated by this, the villagers organized a regular ferry schedule to enable travelers to reach the island, and set out to showcase the village’s unique history. They built a heritage trail, repaired Hakka ancestral homes, created a museum, and even started an organic farm that sits at the foot of the church.
【1】According to the article, the Hakka community________.
A．all moved to other countries in the 1990s
B．settled on Yim Tin Tsai about 100 years ago
C．made a living by salt mining, farming and fishing on Yim Tin Tsai
D．found Yim Tin Tsai to be a fertile place when they had first arrived there
【2】The word “crumbling” in paragraph 4 could probably be replaced by “______.”
A．frightened
B．broken
C．disappearing
D．decreasing
【3】Which of the following is NOT a reason why Colin Chan came back to Yim Tin Tsai?
A．Because he wanted to recover the special feeling of the place where he grew up.
B．Because as village representative, he had the duty to bring the village back to life.
C．Because he didn’t want to see the hometown of his father and grandfather in ruins.
D．Because he wanted to preserve Hong Kong’s history and culture mirrored in the island.
【4】We can learn from the article that _______.
A．UNESCO honored Yim Tin Tsai with an award of merit in 2005.
B．If travelers visit Yim Tin Tsai today, they will find it a lush, green island full of life.
C．Colin Chan raised money to build a museum to showcase the village’s unique history.
D．the villagers on Yim Tin Tsai want to restore the salt pans which were closed more than 100 years ago.

24、 Everyone procrastinates(拖延). “It's part of the human condition, ”says procrastination researcher Tim Pychyl. “We want to feel good now. The way to do that is avoid the task.” He admits that in the short term, procrastination is powerfully rewarding. The present self-benefits, of course, but not the future self.
His research has shown that people can procrastinate on nearly anything, even enjoyable tasks such as planning a vacation. Some people procrastinate cleaning. Some people procrastinate by cleaning. The top tasks people delay are advancing their careers, taking care of their health, and planning their finances.
One big factor for them is fear of failure, of not living up to expectations. Kelli Saginak, a 57-year-old health coach from Wisconsin, procrastinated about looking for a new job for years. That inability to take action only confirmed her belief that she would never do any better. “It's totally fear of judgment,” says Saginak. “If I don't take the risk, I don't have to face the judgment. Yet it's simply me judging myself.”
Some people embrace procrastination, insisting that the white-hot pressure of a last-minute completion makes his or her work better. But researchers have proved it wrong. “I did an experiment, putting procrastinators under restrictions of time. They did worse than non-procrastinators, but they thought they did better.” says Joseph Ferrari, a psychology professor. “Non- Procrastinators focus on the task that needs to be done. They have a stronger personal identity and are less concerned about what psychologists call social esteem's how others like us.”
Procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. Just thinking about what you haven't done may cause discomfort. So if you have been procrastinating on starting an exercise routine, just put on your walking shoes. If you've been putting off a work project, reread your boss's notes about it.
【1】According to Tim Pychyl, people procrastinate because .
A.it simplifies the tasks B.it offers temporary relief
C.it allows more time for planning D.it benefits one's self development
【2】What did Kelli Saginak mean by “Yet it's simply me judging myself”?
A.She has false expectations. B.She makes quick judgement.
C.She regrets taking no action. D.She values her present career.
【3】What does Joseph Ferrari's experiment show?
A.Procrastinators usually lack confidence.
B.Procrastinators turn pressure into motivation.
C.Non-procrastinators care much about others 'feelings.
D.Non-procrastinators perform better within a time limit.
【4】What is the author's attitude towards procrastination?
A.Favorable. B.Reserved. C.Opposed. D.Objective.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Kindness is everywhere in our life. Some of us are just thankful and some help a lot.
When browsing Wechat or other apps, there must be a few people asking for help like 'Oh, I forgot to bring my book back, can you take a picture on the text?' It's nothing at all for us to do more than lifting a finger, but most times, many people chose to turn off their phones or pretend that they didn't see the note. There will be somebody who answer him somehow, but he doesn't need to be me. Thinking of that, we won't be sorry for him.
But when we're really in need, it's such a kindness of him to reply quickly.
It was a beautiful sunny spring day. I had just finished driving my daughter to the airport to catch an early morning flight. My sons and I then went to a fast food restaurant for breakfast before heading back home. After eating we all got into the car and pulled out of the parking lot.
The restaurant was at the very top of a hill. At the bottom of the hill was a stop sign so we found ourselves at the end of a long line of traffic waiting while the cars at the bottom turned onto the main road one at a time.
As I looked down to the bottom of the hill my eyes saw an elderly man standing by the stop sign. His clothes were old and worn. He held a cardboard sign with the words:'Need Help Please!' written on it.
My heart went out to him and I imagined myself in his situation.
As car after car turned onto the road without stopping for him. I reached for my wallet to look for whatever cash was left in it.
