21、 It’s a question that has been asked for years: Is a dishwasher or washing dishes by hand greener? Which uses less energy and water?
A few years ago, the answer was that the dishwasher was better but a very careful hand-washer could probably use bout the same amount of water and less energy. However, much has changed since then. Technology combined with good design has made the dishwasher greatly better over the years, to the point where there’s hardly a question. Studies are showing that modern dishwashers can save more water than most hand-washers.
Dishwashers are even more efficient. Modern dishwashers have pre-heaters that increase the water temperature up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit to sanitize them. The dishwasher also has a timer that lets you set it to turn on at a later time when the power rates are lower.
On the other hand, none of the studies do an analysis of what it takes in terms of energy and water to actually build the dishwasher and replace it every 10 years or so. Nor does it take into account a Swedish study that found that children in families that wash dishes by hand are less likely to develop fever probably due to the “hygiene hypothesis”, which says the reason why kids fall ill is that their surroundings are actually too clean. If you’re not willing to fill up the sinks, the researchers point out that maybe the dishwasher is one labor-saving machine that does a better job than you can especially if you value your time. The researchers write, “When a user’s time spent washing dishes is valued, machine dishwashers pay for themselves within a year of use.”

22、Bamboo, the fast-growing grass plant common to Africa, Asia and Latin America, has been used for thousands of years to build houses, bridges, and scaffolding(脚手架).【1】.Yet, despite its excellent mechanical characteristics--bamboo is flexible, durable and has the strength of steel-this plant remains something of a forgotten solution in the construction world. Part of the problem is bamboo’s association with cheap, low-quality housing: a “poor man’s timber(木材)”.
【2】 . Founded in 2015, Bamboo U offers training courses that promote bamboo as a green construction material. The 11-day “build and design” course takes participants on a hands-on journey through the life cycle of bamboo: from harvesting and treatment, to design and construction. Participants then get to bring their own designs to life, or help create bamboo structures, with the help of a team of architects and designers. Bamboo construction may not be new. 【3】
In recent years, concerns about the unsustainability of building materials have caused a fresh look at “natural”construction. Research by the International Bamboo and Rattan Organization, INBAR, shows that bamboo can provide a low-carbon, renewable alternative to timber, steel and cement. 【4】. As INBAR’s construction expert, Liu Kewei, puts it: “Bamboo is the sustainable timber of the future.”
Since 2015, Bamboo U has welcomed more than 400 people through its doors.【5】. According to Orin Hardy, the founder of Bamboo U: “We don’t believe that everyone needs to build structures like ours.” Bamboo U is “more about an understanding of the place you’re in. We want to remind people that nature can, and should, be in the built environment.”
A．Nonetheless, not everyone can build their house with bamboo.
B．It’s important to develop an appreciation for the craft.
C．Bamboo can also be used to create something new.
D．One organization is fighting to change this understanding.
E．The plant stores more carbon than certain species of trees.
F．However, Bamboo U is giving a much-needed push to this old craft.
G．Architects have called it “green steel”.
23、 Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking what some call the Chinese tech giant’s biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things.
The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government’s restrictions on Huawei using Google’s Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.
Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong province, said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware.
“Harmony is a next-generation operating system designed to address the challenge,” Yu said, adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations, including smart TVs, automobiles and wearables.
The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data.
Yu said the US government’s restrictions have accelerated the company’s marketing of the system, which now has about 4,000 employees working on it.
The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei’s preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it.
“But when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready,” Yu added.
Jia Mo, an analyst at market research company Canalys, said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.
“Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems,” Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago.
【1】What is the significance of the Harmony OS?
A.It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem.
B.It may reduce the threat from US government’s restrictions.
C.It will accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.
D.It successfully borrows from Microsoft's Windows system.
【2】Which of the following may take the place of the underlined word “compatible” in the last paragraph?
A.Used harmoniously. B.Operated quickly.
C.Resisted fiercely. D.Monitored closely.
【3】Where may we find this article?
A.Fashion magazines. B.TV interviews.
C.Historic documents. D.News websites.
24、 My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it; " Have you seen the tree? she asked as was sitting in the backyard enjoying the October twilight.
"The one down at the corner," she explained. "It's a beautiful- all kinds of colors. You ought to see it."
I told her I would. But I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street, my mind swimming with worries, when a splash of bright orange caught my eye. For an instant, I thought someone’s house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.
As I approached it, I slowed down. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree, a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its colors. With its varied nation of color, this tree seemed to become a globe, embracing (拥抱) in its broad branches all seasons and continents: the spring and summer of the Southern hemisphere in the light-and dark greens, theautumn and winter of the Northern in the bunting yellows and bare branches.
As I wondered at this beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson's words about the stars. If the stars appeared only once in a thousand years, he observed in Nature, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they're up there every night, we barely give them a look.
I felt the same way about the tree. And I had almost missed it.
Once when Emily Dickenson's father noticed a brilliant display of northern lights in the sky over Massachusetls, he lolled (鸣钟)a church bell to alert town's people. That’s what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to become a messenger of autumn, awakening the countryside to its wonder. I didn’t have a church bell, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple question "Have you seen the tree?"
【1】Why did the author forget about the tree?
A．He had a lot of worries.
B．He was engaged in work.
C．He didn't take it seriously.
D．He never passed by the corner.
【2】What's special about the tree?
A．Its sinking size.
B．Its rich colours.
C．Its amazing shape.
D．Its broad branches.
【3】What does the underlined word "observed" in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Commented.
B．Obeyed.
C．Noticed.
D．Celebrated.
【4】What did the author finally decide to do?
A．Ring the church bell.
B．Awaken the town's people.
C．Deliver the message of wonder.
D．Check the answer to the question.
25、Let’s say your company has been making athletic shoes for 50 or 60 years. They are good shoes. _________ , other companies have sped past you in the race for fame and the profit that goes with it. Products with the logos of the other companies are status symbols. Products with your logo make people think of basketball stars from the 1970s. To turn things around you, you have to change your product’s _________ image into something new, and make sure consumers get the message. They must match your product with some larger idea that has nothing to do with shoes—beauty, prosperity, or even world peace. _________, you have to build a brand.
The term brand(烙记)comes from the practice of using a hot iron to burn a mark into the skin of a cow or a horse. This brand helps the owner _________ his or her animals from others. The brand is a kind of label, a device for creating recognition. Branding on products is also all about recognition.
People equate the name Rolls Royce, _________, with classic luxury. The recognition value of this brand is _________. It even registers with people who have never seen one of the company’s cars. When the German company BMW bought the Rolls company in 1998, they were careful to change _________. They even continued to build cars in Greenwood, England, because Rolls Royce is thought of as _________.
Among some strong brands, the line between promotional and personal image is _________. Some customers may adopt a brand’s image as their own images. The ads for Nike shoes show no-nonsense athletes. A customer might __________ Nike shoes because she considers herself a no-nonsense athlete—and she wants others to think so, too.
Biker subculture in the United States owes a great deal to the branding __________ of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle company(哈雷摩托车公司品牌成功). Harley has managed to turn its motorcycles into symbols of opposition to mainstream cultural values. In a radio interview, Harley-Davidson’s CEO, Jim Ziemer, points out one way his brand—and its black-and-orange logo—has become very __________. (个性化)
Interviewer: When business school students study __________, one of the names that’s always at the top of that list is Harley Davidson. In your mind, what is it that makes a brand?
Ziemer: A brand is made when a person really feels a __________ with that brand. I mean, we’ve taken it to the ultimate(我们已经做到了极致), where a lot of our customers have a Harley-Davidson tattoo (纹身) on their body so they really feel very special and linked with the brand.
