26、Like the move from horse-drawn carriages to vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines, the change from cars powered by fossil fuels to electric vehicles (EVs) will have a profound effect on personal transport. The Epidemic worldwide caused a 20% drop in global light vehicle sales in 2020, to about 70m, but they pick up in 2021. And the proportion of vehicles powered by batteries will grow quickly.
The increasing share price of Tesla, provides a big motivation for newcomers to catch up. Tesla may lead in battery technology and software, but to make those advantages stick, it must prove that “production hell” is behind it. Scaling up manufacturing has caused Tesla its biggest headaches.
Big name carmakers face an equally discouraging challenge: learning how to write software. Electric cars require integrated software, not just to ensure that batteries and motors work together to provide the best performance, but to connect the car to the outside world.
And what of the Tesla followers, from China’s Li, Nio and Xpeng to American firms such as Fisker, Lucid and Nikola? Cash from excitable investors has poured in and it is the same with big name carmakers — as are tech giants, keen to get involved as transport goes digital. Can the followers persuade investors that they have patent technology that will give them a long-term advantage?
Eye-catching Advertisements of vehicles are one thing, but as the industry’s trouble shows, working out how to make cars at scale, when softwares are as important as brakes and bodywork, is quite another. The coming year will make clearer which of Tesla’s competitors, new and old, can stay in race.
【1】Which word best describes the trend of electric cars industry?
A．Disappointing.
B．Promising.
C．Uncertain.
D．Challenging.
【2】Why is Tesla in trouble?
A．Its advertising is considered to be exaggerating.
B．It has to compete with many capable newcomers.
C．Its production capacity has become a bottleneck.
D．It may lose its advantage in software writing.
【3】Which statement about Tesla’s competitors is TRUE?
A．They are mostly well-established companies.
B．Their share prices are catching up with those of Tesla.
C．Their problem lies in improving brakes and bodywork.
D．They are all receiving money from eager investors.
【4】Which is the best title of the passage?
A．The Battle Within the EV Industry
B．New EV Companies Are Catching up
C．Electric Cars—Your Future Choice
D．Production Capacity—a Headache of EV Industry

28、Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic reasons why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours, where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
【1】What can we learn about historical buildings from paragraph 1?
A．All of them are not attractive.
B．Most of them are hard to preserve.
C．People want to preserve the historic feel.
D．They are more pleasing than modern ones.

A．the author is doubtful about it.
B．the author is unclear about it.
C．the author firmly believes that the old have to give way to the new.
D．the author is in favor of it.
【3】What is the the duty of the architect and planner implied in the passage?
A．Destroy old buildings.
B．Put things in a different place.
C．Choose new architectural styles.
D．Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings.
【4】What is the main purpose of the text?
A．To instruct.
B．To argue.
C．To warn.
D．To educate.
29、 “Sorry seems to be the hardest word” - that is one of Elton John’s most popular songs.
But not every public figure seems to find it so tough to say that powerful five- letter word.
In recent days public figures, from politicians to stars, have all publicly expressed remorse. But with so much remorse, how can we tell a forced apology from a heartfelt expression of remorse?
Specifically, saying sorry should be a realization that something you have said or done has hurt someone and you want to make amends ( 弥 补 ). “People want the response to be personal to them. They want to feel that they’re being listened to and taken seriously,” says Martin Stone.
Firstly, it is important to show that you understand. It is vital that any group or person making an apology understand the focus - is it sorry for the way it’s acted or is it sorry that the complainant feels the way they do?
Watch out for the speed of response. The quicker the apology comes, the better it indicates that the person making it has felt an immediate sense of guilt.
If sincere, the person making the apology will be looking for clues (线索) to see if he or she is being understood, such as eye contact and facial expressions. Performed apologies always have a sense of being “acted out”, and are often accompanied by too many unnatural gestures.
For a sincere apology, it is also important to avoid promises that can’t be kept. Don’t say that you’ll make sure that this will not happen again if you’re not confident that it won’t. It could come back to bite you. And do remember that the use of “but” can hugely change the tone ( 语 气 ) of an apology. As Stone points out, “I’m sorry but …” sounds like you are making excuses and aren’t actually taking any form of responsibility.
【1】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To teach us how to tell if an apology is sincere.
B.To discuss how to give a formal apology.
C.To show why we should apologize in life.
D.To explain what a good apology is.
【2】What does the underlined word “remorse” probably mean?
A.Pain B.Regret C.Worry D.Doubt
【3】Which of the following indicates it’s a “performed” apology?
A.Promising it won’t happen again.
B.Paying attention to the listener’s reaction.
C.Showing you understand his/her feelings.
D.Avoiding eye contact with the listener.
【4】What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A.The attitude B.The tone of voice
C.The choice of language D.The body language
