26、Lime has launched its latest Gen4 e-bike, featuring a series of upgrades, among which an interchangeable battery is the most characteristic, in an effort to improve the sustainability and availability of the company’s shared vehicles.
The launch is initially limited to Washington D.C., but the e-bike will gradually spread in other cities this spring, including Atlanta and Charleston in the U.S.
In early 2021, Lime announced a $50 million investment in the Gen4 model. The battery can be used between Lime’s Gen4 e-bikes and Gen4 e-scooters(电动滑板车), which will hopefully result in reduced van trips for the Lime’s operations team replacing the batteries. The feature is also designed to improve reliability for the service and prevent large numbers of uncharged, unusable vehicles lying around on sidewalks.
“The launch of our Gen4 e-bike is an important step toward achieving our mission of building a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free,” said Wayne Ting, CEO of Lime. “Standardising our exchangeable batteries across modes is a leap forward for Lime and the broader micromobility industry, making operations more efficient and sustainable, while improving reliability for riders.”
Other significant updates to the bike include increased motor power, an improved phone holder, new handlebar display(already seen on Lime’s e-scooters), an automatic two-speed transmission for a smoother ride, and a modular(组合式的)design which the company says makes the bike’s usable life longer. Durability(持久性)is a major issue for the miromobility industry.
The demand for e-bikes, shared or otherwise, appears to be continuing at a steady pace, as Americans apparently bought electric bikes at greater rates than they did electric cars during the pandemic. Here’s all the electric bikes and scooters that rolled into CES 2022 for a glimpse of what’s ahead.
【1】What is the biggest feature of Gen4 e-bike?
A.Its colour.
B.Its firm phone holder.
C.Its exchangeable battery.
D.Its fast-charge system.
【2】What can we learn about Gen4 e-bike?
A.It will only be used in Washington D.C.
B.It uses the same battery as Gen4 e-scooters.
C.It has reduced the number of the operations team replacing batteries.
D.It may cause more uncharged vehicles on the roadside.
【3】Which update to Gen4 e-bike is unmentioned in the text?
A.Automatic two-speed transmission.
B.A newly designed pedal.
C.Increased motor power.
D.New handlebar display.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.A new e-bike appears in the UK
B.The high quality of Gen4 e-bike
C.A great leap for battery sharing in Washington D. C.
D.Lime launches a new e-bike featuring swappable batteries.
27、Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an "agricultural revolution". On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock (家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real "mechanized hired hand" that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make big changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. The complete mobilization (活动) of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.
【1】According to the passage, computers cannot help farmers decide _______.
A. how much money they can earn from their products
B. whether to plant a certain kind of crop
C. what livestock to raise
D. when to sell their products
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.
B. Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms.
C. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.
D. Students at agricultural colleges must take computer classes because they can do nothing without them.
【3】According to the engineers, what will be done by robots in the near future?
A. All farm work.
B. Milking cows.
C. Some farm work.
D. Most of the farm work.
【4】What is the best title for the whole passage?
A. Computer, Farmers' Best Friend
B. Farmers in The Future
C. Computers and Robots
D. The Agricultural Revolution
28、When ancient Egyptians put pen to paper—or, more accurately, ink to papyrus (纸莎草纸) —they took steps to ensure that their words would last forever, a new study suggests. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have found that ancient scribes (抄写员) likely added lead to their inks to help their writing dry. More than 1,000 years later, reports Cosmos Magazine, 15th-century European artists employed lead as well. According to the London National Gallery, lead-based pigments found in many Old Master paintings are “known to aid the drying of paint films.”
According to a statement from the University of Copenhagen, the study’s authors analyzed 12 papyrus pieces dating back to between 100 and 200 C.E., when Egypt was under Roman control. The team used X-ray microscope to determine the raw materials used in different inks, as well as the chemical structure of the dried ink attached to the ancient paper. Ancient Egyptians began writing with ink—made by burning wood or oil and mixing the resulting material with water—around 3200 B.C. Typically, scribes used black, carbon-based ink for the body of text and reserved red ink for headings and other key words in the text. Though black and red inks were most common, shades of blue, green, white and yellow also appeared in ancient texts.
The researchers write that the Egyptians created red inks with iron-based combinations—most likely natural earth pigments. The team also identified the presence of lead. They were bowled over that there was no lead white or other combinations that would typically be present in a lead-based pigment. Instead, the ancient ink’s lead pigments appeared to wrap around the papyrus cell walls and iron particles (微粒). The resulting effect looked “as if the letters were outlined” in lead. This finding indicates that the ancient Egyptians invented a system of adding lead to red and black inks specifically for the purpose of sticking the words to paper.
The 12 analyzed papyrus pieces are part of the University of Copenhagen’s Papyrus Carlsberg Collection. The documents originated in Tebtunis, the only large-scale institutional library known to have survived from ancient Egyptian times.
【1】What is the main function of lead in the masterpieces of the ancients?
A.To make the colors brighter.
B.To stick the ink to the pen.
C.To help the writing dry.
D.To increase their thickness.
【2】What can be inferred from the statement?
A.It was easy for X-ray microscope to detect the raw materials.
B.Only wet inks can be used to determine their chemical components.
C.Ancient Egyptians already knew black could catch eyes easily.
D.The inks used by the ancient Egyptians came in a variety of colors.

C.By breaking the structure of the colors.
D.By analyzing the elements of the paper.
29、I arrived at my mother’s home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt (被子) after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. “What is this?” I asked.
“Oh?” Mom said, “That’s Mama’s quilt.”
I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together; irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.
“Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made.
“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes, she said. “I’m still working on it. See, this is what I’ve done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched (缝) a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.
