Over the years, the recommendations of my friend Philip have led me to work with three of my favorite clients (客户). I am certain that my relationships with these three clients have helped me meet many other wonderful people. Needless to say, I owe Philip a lot. Without him, these relationships wouldn't have happened.
Philip is bright, friendly, and inspiring. Sometimes his ideas pay off in a huge way. He is very successful. But this brilliant, creative, friendly man has a bit of difficulty when it comes to small commitments. These little behaviors are annoying things — lastminute cancellations, missed phone calls, and the like. While they do trouble my life a little bit, it's nothing really major that would make me back out of the relationship. Philip always apologizes for these minor defects. I always accept his apology. When I take all the good things and weigh them against the times he's let me down, he is so far ahead that he gets a “lifetime pass”. And, I tell him so. When I do, he feels good and I feel better for forgiving him. To this day, we are friends. I am his friend because when I consider someone's actions, I ask myself, “Am I better off or worse off because of having this person in my life?”
With Philip, the answer has always been, and will always be, in his favor. Philip has been such a good friend and having him in my life has been such a good thing that I am grateful. This will always override (忽略) any of his “negative” behaviors. That's a lifetime pass. How many people do you have in your life to whom you have given a lifetime pass? Is the number high or low in your opinion? Most people want a higher number.
【1】Why does the writer owe Philip a lot?
A.Because Philip has never troubled him as a good friend.
B.Because Philip has solved many of his annoying problems.

【2】Which of the following can best describe Philip?
A.Every dog has its day.
B.All that glitters is not gold.
C.There are spots even on the sun.
D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
【3】What does the underlined word “defects” in Para. 2 mean?
A.Praise that you give to someone for something they have done.
B.A fault or a lack of something that means that something is not perfect.
C.Something that you wear to change your appearance and hide who you are.
D.A very strong feeling that almost makes you sick, caused by something unpleasant.
【4】What's the best title for the text?
A.Thanks and Apologizes
B.A Higher Number for Most People

22、Maybe it has been the influence of the current scene: the type among urban biking. Apparently, urban biking requires entirely different bikes than suburban hiking does and therefore a Bike Design Project started where five design studios across five cities had to come up with a perfect urban bike. The winning bike will be manufactured for a limited run of 100 hikes and will be in stores next year. Industry, a Portland-based studio, came up with a very interesting bike: one that uses bluetooth and handlebars (车把手) that tell you when to stop or turn.
Industry worked together with Ti Cycles to create a bike with a 3D printed titanium frame (钛框架). The hike is called Solid and can be connected to a smartphone APP: My Bike. This APP alarms a user when a light needs replacement and if something gets wrong with one’s brakes. There is also software called Discover My City, which has a series of routes through Portland’s most trendy neighborhoods, with suggestions about where to eat and shop.
Nevertheless, the idea with cycling is that you need to focus on the road and not on your smartphone. This bike therefore uses integrated feedback on handlebars. Those handlebars tell a user when to turn, as they will buzz when a turn appears. As you are getting closer, they will buzz more frequently. And then there is the possibility to control your light via built-in sensors and change gears by pressing an electronic button.
Although the bicycle looks highly interesting and can be seen as a piece of art for the designing world, we don’t know if we would like our bike to have an automatic buzz when we are approaching a turn. On the other side, it could add some extra safety to traffic in general. Whether you like the bike or not, you have to admit the Portland-based studio brings the concept of urban biking to a whole new level.
【1】Paragraph 1 mainly talks about .
A. the equipment that a hand-made bike requires
B. the popularity of the winning bike in the urban area
C. the introduction to a new bike in the future market
D. the difference between urban biking and suburban biking
【2】The 3D printed bike is special in the way .
A. it tells the biker where to eat and shop
B. it connects the computers
C. it limits the riding speed
D. it goes into forests and mountains
【3】What is the author’s attitude to the newly-designed bicycle?
A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful.
C. Pessimistic. D. Objective.
【4】The passage is likely to appear in .
A. a school textbook B. a TV advertisement
C. an exhibition D. a newspaper report
23、NASA has launched a special spacecraft called Lucy. Lucy will take a 12-year trip to learn more about a group of asteroids(小行星) known as the Trojans.
Most of them are found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The first asteroid that Lucy will study lies in the asteroid belt. But the other seven asteroids, known as Trojan asteroids, are in an area of space that hasn't been visited before. Though the asteroids are very far away from Jupiter, to scientists’ surprise, they follow the same path that Jupiter takes around the Sun. Some travel ahead of Jupiter, others behind it.
In 1974,scientist Donald Johanson, with one of his students, discovered a 3.2 million-year-old skeleton(骨骼) of a human ancestor. He named the skeleton Lucy after the hit song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. The current Lucy mission is named for the skeleton. The Lucy skeleton changed the way scientists understood human history. Scientists hope that studying these asteroids will help lead to similar changes in our understanding of how the solar system began around 4.5 billion years ago.
Lucy will fly near the first asteroid Donaldjohanson in 2025.To get there, Lucy must first go around the Earth twice. It will use the Earth's gravity like a slingshot(弹弓) to send itself out through the asteroid belt. From there, Lucy will continue on to visit a group of five Trojan asteroids that orbit the Sun ahead of Jupiter and study them in 2027 and 2028.Lucy will study these asteroids as it flies past them, sending pictures back to NASA.
Around 2030, it’ll make another return trip around the Earth. It’ll be the first spacecraft that’s gone to the outer part of the Solar System and returned. The final trip around the Earth will send it back out to the far side of the Sun by 2033 to study the two Trojan asteroids that orbit the Sun behind Jupiter.
【1】What’s special about Trojan asteroids?
A．They are in the asteroid belt.
B．They protect the solar system.
C．They share the orbit with Jupiter.
D．They are often visited by spacecrafts.
【2】Why does the author mention Donald Johanson?
A．To show he launched the Lucy mission.
B．To explain the value of the Lucy mission.
C．To say he named the mission after an asteroid.
D．To describe the process of discovering asteroids.
【3】What will Lucy do before visiting the two Trojan asteroids behind Jupiter?
A．Circle the Earth three times.
B．Follow Jupiter to find them.
C．Send its pictures to NASA.
D．Fly past the Sun in 2030.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?

B．Lucy Looks for Trojan Asteroids
C．Lucy Finds the Secret of Asteroids
D．Lucy Will Visit Eight Asteroids
24、 Have you ever wondered how your favorite NBA team received its famous name? All NBA teams have an interesting story or a history behind their names. Some of the names reflect the city’s culture or history, others came from previous owners and many were selected through “Name the Team” contests.
For teams like Los Angeles and Utah, the names were not always a reflection of the city. Even though Los Angeles has no lakes, the Laker name has been a city treasure for almost 40 years. Before going to Los Angeles, the team originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1948, team officials chose the name for its direct relationship to the state’s motto, “The Land of 10,000 Lakes.” The team name went unchanged after moving to Los Angeles in 1960.
Because Utah’s team originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was called the Jazz. In 1974, New Orleans club officials chose the name to represent the city for its reputation as the “jazz capital of the world.” The name stayed with the team even after finding a new home in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979.
The Chicago Bull’s original owner, Richard Klein, named the team the Bulls. He picked the name because a fighting bull is relentless(不屈不挠的), and never quits. Klein, who founded the club in1966, believed these qualities were necessary for a championship team and hoped his Chicago athletes would live up to the team name.
Miami chose the Heat from names such as the Sharks, Beaches, and Barracudas. The name Magic was the winner for the Orlando team because the city’s tourism slogan is “Come to the Magic.”
Tradition played a big part in naming the New York Knicks. Chosen by the club’s founder Ned Irish, the Knicks’name was already important in New York's history. The first organized team in baseball history was named the New York Knickerbockers or the Knickerbockers Nine.
In 1967, the Indian Pacers selected their team name in a different way from most other teams. Their decision was based on what they wanted to accomplish in the NBA. Team officials chose the Pacers name because the organization wanted to set the “pace” in professional basketball.
【1】Which of the names reflects the culture of the city New Orleans.
