21、How Will We Live in 2045?
Welcome to life in the future! You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.
You've recently had a new anti-aging treatment, so you look like a 30-year-old. And many people your age could live to be 120 now, so-at 60-you're not old at all.
【1】 Nanotechnology can help cure many illnesses, including cancer. And if any part of your body is unhealthy, you can “grow” a new one in a laboratory.
As you get dressed, you say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It becomes red.【2】 So you can program clothes to change colors or patterns.
On the way to the kitchen, you want to call a friend. Your cell phone is by the window because it gets its energy from the sun. 【3】 You can just touch your jacket sleeve to make the call.
It's breakfast time. You reach for the milk, but a voice says, “Don't drink that!” Your fridge knows the milk is old, and tells the supermarket to send some fresh milk.【4】.
As you leave for work, the lights turn off by themselves. Your home goes into “Sleep” mode to save energy. In 2045, cars drive themselves, so you just tell your driverless car where you want to go.
【5】 Perhaps the future is much closer than we think.
A．Ten minutes later, it's delivered by a drone (无人机).
B．The milk has sensors telling when it is sour.
C．Science has also found amazing ways to keep people healthy.
D．But you don't need to pick up the phone.
E．Will all this come true?
F．In 2045, “smart” clothes contain nanoparticles that carry electricity.
G．The future is more than 25 years away from now.
22、 We may be living in the digital age, but reading books is still a big part of growing up. When they’re in primary school, children read books that really challenge them. But once they reach secondary school, the level of difficulty doesn’t change much. Secondary school students tend to read books which are also read by upper primary students. They are not challenging themselves enough.
To discover these trends, I analyzed data collected by Accelerated Reader (AR) software, which asks pupils to check their understanding of the books they’ve chosen to read. The difficulty — which I call “readability”.
I also created two lists of books: one for the books that most secondary pupils had chosen to read, and another for the books they had voted as their favorites. According to the readability, these students’ favorite books tend to be much more advanced than the other books they chose, but they could still understand them. The rest of the books most often chosen by them are quite simple.
You might think that students who read harder books might make more mistakes and understand them less well. But students’ quality of comprehension does not depend on the difficulty of the book, no matter what year of secondary school they’re in. Having an interest is the most obvious factor here — if you like the book, you try hard to really understand it.
As children become teenagers, they listen less to advice from adults and more to advice from kids of their age. So, rather than trying to lecture young people on the benefits of Jane Austen, we should make the nature of the problem clear to them. Students should challenge each other to read more difficult books. Adults could help by setting up noticeboards or organizing social media networks for young people to share their recommendations. And teachers can lend a hand by setting aside time for reading in school. Young people will realize the problems that come when they don’t challenge themselves to read difficult books.

24、Fire Station No．6 in Livermore，California，houses a celebrity—a 107-year-old light bulb(灯泡)that has been on for over a million hours，earning the title of the“World’s longest continuously burning bulb”by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!The bulb also holds the Guinness World Record．
Nobody knows why this bulb has stayed alive for so many years．Most people believe that it is due to two reasons—it has almost never been turned off and it is really well made．Its perfect seal lets no air in．keeping its carbon filament(灯丝)from burning out．
The bulb was first installed at the fire department hose cart house on L Street in 1901．In 1903 it was moved to the new Station 1 on First and McLeod，and survived the renovation(翻修)of the Firehouse in 1937．when it was off for about a week．The last time the bulb was switched off was in July l976，when it was moved to Fire Station No．6．Thousands of people watched as the electrician tried to re-attach the bulb at its new location．At first nothing happened and people thought the bulb had finally died．However，a slight touch of its switch and then，the bulb came on and has been on since．Nobody at the station dares to touch it，even to clean it．
A local reporter first discovered the bulb’s significance in 1972．He recommended his readers to go visit it if they ever went to Livermore．All of a sudden thousands of people came to Fire Station No．6 and the bulb became famous．
Needless to say，the bulb is now a big source of pride and joy for the city of Livermore．So when some folks offered to buy it，the answer from the city was“NO!”
【1】Which of the following may not be a reason for the bulb to stay alive for so long?
A．It was seldom switched off.
B．It was made of high quality．
C．Its carbon filament was special．
D．Its seal was perfect．
【2】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The brief history of the bulb．
B．The problems with the bulb．
C．The main function of the bulb．
D．The location where the bulb is．
【3】We can learn from the text that the bulb _______________．
A．will eventually be owned by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not
B．is now becoming a proud symbol of the locals in livermore
C. has never been touched or cleaned in Fire Station No．6
D．wouldn’t have been discovered without the local reporter
25、 Hot weather has forced dozens of commercial flights to be canceled at airports in the Southwest this summer. This flight-disturbing _______ is a warning sign. Climate change is projected to have far-reaching _______—including sea level rise flooding cities and shifting weather patterns causing long-term declines in agricultural production. And there is evidence that it is beginning to affect the takeoff performance of commercial aircraft, with potential effects on airline _______.
National and global transportation systems and the economic activity they support have been designed for the climate in which it all developed. In the aviation (航空) industry, airports and aircraft are designed for the weather conditions experienced _______. Because the climate is changing, even fundamental elements like airports and key economic parts like air transportation may need to be_______.
As scientists focused on the impacts of climate change and extreme weather on human society and natural ecosystems around the world, our research has quantified how extreme heat associated with our warming climate may affect _______ around the world. We’ve found that major airports from New York to Dubai to Bangkok will see more frequent takeoff weight _______ in the coming decades due to increasingly common hot temperatures, which can help reduce the aircraft’s weight so as to lower its required takeoff speed.
There is obvious evidence that extreme events such as heat waves and coastal flooding are happening with greater frequency and intensity than just a few decades ago. And if we _______ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly in the next few decades, the frequency and intensity of these extremes is projected to increase dramatically.
The _______ on aviation may be widespread. Many airports are built near sea level, putting them at risk of more frequent ______________ as oceans rise. The frequency and intensity of violent air movement may increase in some regions due to strengthening high-altitude (高海拔的) winds. Stronger winds would force airlines and pilots to change flight lengths and routings, potentially increasing fuel ______________.
Many departments of the economy, including the aviation industry, have yet to seriously ______________the effects of climate change. The sooner, the better: Both airport construction and aircraft design take decades, and have ______________ effects. Today’s newest planes may well be flying in 40 or 50 years, and their ______________ are being designed now. The earlier climate impacts are understood and appreciated, the more effective and less costly adaptations can be. Those adaptations may even include innovative ways to dramatically reduce climate-altering emissions across the aviation industry, which would help reduce the problem while also ______________ it.
