21、 The demand for proper waste disposal has become increasingly urgent. While powerful organizations and giant companies are to be held responsible for the majority of carbon emissions（排放）, we can still do our part in reducing our carbon footprints. And it can be done by simple segregation（分类） and proper garbage disposal. In the small city of Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte, an app called Hakoot is looking to solve this problem.
Hakoot was created by brothers Efren Jamolod Jr. and Jesrome Jamolod, both lovers of nature. They were first inspired to create the app because of a debate in a Facebook group in Dapitan city about garbage collection problems.
Efren states, "When we looked at it, we thought we can do something about this. So we started to put forward some solutions. We tried to validate（证实） this problem based on our research. It does not exist only in Dapitan. It is everywhere in the country, mostly in third world countries.
Efren explains, "We developed two applications. One for the garbage collectors, and one for the residents（居民）, where they can do real-time monitoring. The garbage collectors will do the garbage collection and they will be able to see the location and the type of garbage the residents will be disposing of. At the same time, the end-user will be able to monitor the garbage collectors' location, when it will arrive, and the distance from his location."
It is noted that it is still up to the individual to segregate. With the pressing issue of climate change, proper garbage disposal can greatly reduce our carbon footprints. Efren says, "It's a huge part of it. Garbage collection is a daily activity. Every day we consume. Therefore, more or less, we produce waste. If that's not handled properly, then there's no recycling, then we need to reproduce more products."
【1】What caused the brothers to develop the app?
A.Their concern about garbage issues. B.Their enthusiasm about inventions.
C.Their dislike of defeat in the debate. D.Their confidence in their research.
【2】What can we infer about waste disposal from the last paragraph?
A.Hakoot has proved to be quite efficient. B.Efforts individuals make matter a lot.
C.People dispose of rubbish improperly. D.Waste segregation is hard to accomplish.
【3】What is the passage meant to tell us?
A.The proper ways to collect and deal with garbage.
B.What we can do to contribute to waste disposal.
C.A scientific approach to recycling industry waste.
D.An app developed to help the disposal of garbage.
22、In May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50,000 people to show up. Instead, as many as 800, 000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250,000 were on the bridge, engineers noticed something terrible：the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry. Worse, it was beginning to sway（晃动）. The authorities closed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of people made their way back to land. A disaster was avoided.
The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design：Understanding Failure, a book that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean（赞歌）to its breakdowns. Its author, Dr. Henry Petroski, has long been writing about disasters. In this book, he includes the loss of the space shuttles（航天飞机）Challenger and Columbia, and the sinking of the Titanic.
Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong, in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view to consider the larger context in which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted elsewhere again and again, with seemingly harmless improvements, until, suddenly, it does not work at all anymore.
Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard before, but some new stories and a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them.
"Success is success but that is all that it is," Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that brings improvement.
【1】What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday?
A．It carried more weight than it could.
B．It swayed violently in a strong wind
C．Its roadway was damaged by vehicles
D．Its access was blocked by many people.
【2】Which of the following is Dr. Petroski's idea according to paragraph 3?
A．No design is well received everywhere
B．Construction is more important than design.
C．Not all disasters are caused by engineering design
D．Improvements on engineering works are necessary.
【3】What does the last paragraph suggest?
A．Failure can lead to progress.
B．Success results in overconfidence
C．Failure should be avoided.
D．Success comes from joint efforts.
【4】What is the text?
A．A news report
B．A short story.
C．A book review
D．A research article.
23、London Cycle Hire Scheme
Renting a bike is not only one of the most pleasant ways to travel around the back streets of London, it’s also one of the cheapest. Approximately 12,000 bikes are available to rent 24 hours a day, all year round. You can hire a bike from any of the 800 docking stations and return it anywhere on the network. The three-speed bikes are pretty strong. They come with a bell, a front basket and a chain guard. The front and back lights come on when you start pedalling and the seat height is easily adjustable.
How much does it cost?
Unfortunately, the free under-30-mimite-ride deal was canceled in September 2022.
• £ 1.65 per 30 minutes
How to hire a bike?
There are two ways to hire a bike—at a clocking station terminal or via an app (the easier way).
At a docking station
• Touch the screen and insert a credit or debit card. The machine will print a receipt with a release code.
• Enter the release code. Wait until the green light flashes, pull out your bike and go.
Via the Santander cycle hire app
Smartphone users can now use an iOS or Android app to hire and pay for a hike. However, using the app does not reserve a bike. You still only have 10 minutes to use the release code, so make sure you’re near the docking station when you use it.
Please note: You have to be 18 or over to pay for a bike. You also need a credit or debit card — cash is not accepted.
【1】How much should you pay for renting a bike for 2 hours?
A．£1.65.
B．£ 3.3.
C．£4.95.
D．£ 6.6.
【2】What should you pay attention to when renting a bike via an app?

B．Taking enough cash.
C．Minding the time limit.
D．Making a reservation.

C．Traveling in London.
D．A bike hiring app.
24、If you’re tired of the big cities and sandy beaches; if you don’t want to head to Disney again, perhaps it’s time for a summer holiday in space. Russia has declared(宣布) plans for its first floating hotel, 217 miles above earth, and it is something of an offering with good service.
Hosting just seven guests in four cabins(座舱), the accommodation (膳宿) will include huge windows with views back to earth and tasty microwave meals will be served instead of the ones often used by astronauts.
Just getting there will be an adventure in itself—it will take two days aboard a rocket—and it won’t exactly be a budget holiday: A five-day stay will cost you￡100, 000 to￡500, 000 for your journey. The hotel is due to open by 2019 and it will be far more comfortable than the International Space Station (ISS) used by astronauts and cosmonauts.
In the weightlessness of space, visitors can choose to have beds that are either vertical(垂直的) or horizontal(水平的). Tourists, who will be accompanied by experienced astronauts, will dine on food prepared on Earth and sent up on the rocket, to be reheated in microwave ovens(炉子). Many kinds of delicious food will be offered.
Iced tea, mineral water and fruit juices will be included, but alcohol will be strictly forbidden. Toilets will use flowing air instead of water to move waste through the system. Waste water will be recycled.
Sergei Kostenko, chief executive of Orbital Technologies which will construct the hotel, said: “Our planned module inside will not remind you of the International Space Station. A hotel should be comfortable inside, and it will be possible to look at the Earth. The hotel will be aimed at wealthy individuals and people working for private companies who want to do research in space.” The hotel can also be used as an emergency shelter for astronauts aboard the International Space Station if there is a disaster.
【1】Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Russia has the advanced technology in exploring space
B. The International Space Station is being built now
