21、   The UK’s first fully solar-powered home, which removes the need to ever receive a gas or electricity bill again, has gone on sale, but it will cost you £1.2 million.

The timber-framed home in Great Glen, Leicestershire, contains a number of “zero-carbon features” including solar electric energy, triple glazing and rainwater storage. It is entirely heated by underground water-filled tubes that are warmed by solar energy from rooftop panels. The house was designed and built by Caplin Homes and covers two acres of land. The design and construction, down to the materials, were used specifically for their low carbon footprint.

The solar panels on the roof of the five-bedroom house are called hybrids because they collect both electrical and thermal energy. Solar walls preheat incoming air, and an Earth Energy Bank (EEB) and heat pump can store heat, and get it back for use when temperatures drop. The south-facing triple-glazed windows are said to also improve the house’s energy management during the winter.

All the technologies are regulated by a control system, which monitors the inside and outside temperatures, how much energy is being received by the solar panels, and the heat levels in the EEB domestic hot water tank. Due to its low energy design, the Solar House is expected to only require heat from the EEB for about 10 weeks of the year.

For £1.2 million, buyers also get two garages. Estate agent (房地产经纪人) Anthony Fox said the possibility of no utility bills was a big draw for potential owners: the idea is that your bills pretty much disappear and the house is self-sustaining and self-sufficient. That was a big aspect for most of the people who came to have a look around. “We had a lot of interest on the open day. There were some strong considerations to buy there and then. Everyone was very keen to learn how the house worked.” He added.

【1】Which is true about the UK’s first fully solar-powered home?

A.It is directly heated by rooftop panels.

B.It has a set of heat-storage devices available.

C.Its walls can keep cold air from coming in to store heat.

D.The triple-glazed windows collect electrical and thermal energy.

【2】What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?

A.The monitoring of the temperature.

B.The function of the control system.

C.The amount of the received energy.

D.The significance of the new technologies.

【3】What’s a big attraction for potential buyers according to Anthony Fox?

A.No gas or electricity bill. B.Two additional garages.

C.The reasonable price. D.The unique structure.

22、The Ivy League schools are some of the most selective colleges in the United States. If you’re planning to apply to any of them, be realistic about your chances of being admitted.

Columbia University

Columbia is one of the largest of the Ivies, and it has a close relationship with neighboring Barnard College, one of the nation’s top women’s colleges. The university is home to an excellent medical school, law school, business school, engineering school, and numerous other programs.

Brown University

With a rich history dating to 1764, Brown University is the second smallest of the Ivies, and the school has more of an undergraduate focus than universities such as Harvard and Yale. The university’s campus is close to the Rhode Island School of Design(RISD), one of the nation’s top art schools, and students can easily cross-register between the two institutions.

Dartmouth College

Dartmouth is the smallest of the Ivies, but don’t be misled by its name. It is a university, not a college. The attractive Dartmouth campus is home to a business school, medical school, and engineering school.

Princeton University

Like Dartmouth, Princeton is on the smaller side and has more of an undergraduate focus than many of the Ivies. The school’s 500-acre campus with its stone towers and Gothic architecture ranks as one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Sitting on the edge of Lake Carnegie, Princeton is home to numerous flower gardens and tree-lined walks.

23、Chris Rishworth is a travelling cyclist who would take photos along the journey. He regards it as killing three birds with one stone. Besides exercising, he can also improve his photography skills and raise money for the children in need through holding a photography show. In the past five years, Chris has raised more than one million dollars and helped more than 30 orphans (孤儿) complete primary and secondary school education.

Chris’ photographs have a very wide range of aspects, including impressive natural sceneries, attractive local conditions and customs, and mysterious historic sites, etc， but he believes the most heart-shaking one is the photo of a baby wallaby (沙袋鼠）. It was on August 5th when Chris was on his way to ride through Magnetic Island. Chris saw a helpless baby rock wallaby trying to get into its dead mother s pouch (育儿袋）.The deep brake marks and pieces of glass indicated that the mother wallaby was killed by a car. The sight shook his heart so much that Chris was almost astonished for a while. After taking a photo of this heartbreaking moment, Chris placed the baby wallaby into the basket of his bike and took it to the local wildlife rescue shelter. The workers told Chris, “ It’s quite common to find baby wallabies attracted to their dead mothers — often due to the road kill on Magnetic Island. ” Hearing this, Chris decided to send the photo to related departments to promote further measures to avoid such things happening again.

Rock wallabies have had a tough history in their native country, Australia, as they struggle to fight against extreme weather and keep up with other competitors. The Australian government took a series of protective measures and fought against hunting activities effectively, which made the number of rock wallabies increase. But now, with the development of Magnetic Island, a lot of trucks and private cars flood in, which breaks the previous peace. Experts of the Wildlife Conservation Society ( WCS) warn that self-driving travelers and truck drivers should pay attention to the wild animals on the road or by the roadside while driving.

【1】How does Chris find his trip?

A．It brings him fortune.

B．Its influence is worldwide.

C．Its result is satisfactory.

D．It makes his dream come true.

【2】What made Chris realize the cause of the mother wallaby's death?

A．The heartbreaking photo.

B．The workers’ words.

C．His travel experience.

D．The signs of the scene.

【3】What may be the best title for the passage?

A．A Beautiful Australian Island Discovered by a Travelling Cyclist

B．A Heartbreaking Moment Photographed by a Travelling Cyclist

C．A Wonderful Photography Show Held by a Travelling Cyclist

D．A Badly Injured Baby Wallaby Saved by a Travelling Cyclist

24、The 67th Miss Universe beauty pageant (选美比赛) will take place December 16 in Bangkok, Thailand. The competition will include young women from around the world representing their countries. But one South American country, Chile, will not be represented by a native Chilean. Instead, Andrea Diaz, a native of Venezuela (委内瑞拉) will have that honor.

Diaz grew up in Valencia, Venezuela. She began training as a model at age 12 at a school there. At 19, she won a pageant organized by her town’s baseball team. As Diaz moved along her career path, she also moved away from home. She went first to Panama, and later to Mexico, for modeling jobs. In 2015, she settled in Chile, where most of her family members now live. The 27-year-old woman told the reporter, “I represent the new Chile. This is an inclusive (包容的) country where immigrants come in search of opportunities.”

Thousands of people leave Venezuela each day to escape a lack of food and medicine in the country. Its economic crisis (危机) has created an almost 1 million percent inflation (通货膨胀) rate. Many beauty pageant hopefuls have left Venezuela and have found work in modeling and media fields. Diaz is one of several Venezuelan beauty pageant competitors representing countries other than their homeland.

A recent Miss Earth pageant had two Venezuelan models who competed for other countries, including Jessica Russo. Russo represented Peru just one year after moving to the country. She said, “My dream of being a beauty queen is not going to stop just because I arrived in a new country.” The 22-year-old competitor did not make it into the Miss Earth finals. But she is not giving up. She says she hopes to one day win a competition for Peru, the country where her mother was born.
